HAWK WEEK
A ROCK CHALK WELCOME
HANNAH BARLING editor@kansan.com
New students have more to look forward to than the beginning of classes thanks to Hawk Week.
Hawk week is designed to encourage students to meet one another and get a feel for the University. Festivities begin on Friday with the SUA Rock Chalk Block Party at the Kansas Union at 8:30 p.m., where students can eat free food, play games, bowl and win prizes. After the block party, Friday Night Live will feature performances by student organizations. The events continue Saturday night at the Adams Alumni Center with SAA Hawk Fest and one of Hawk Week's most popular events, Traditions Night.
dents to learn University traditions like the Alma Mater, Waving the Wheat, and the Rock Chalk Chant at Memorial Stadium.
The event is a way for new stu-
"I think Traditions Night usually attracts a huge amount of people just because it's a time to learn about the awesome university we go to and to join together with other students at the same time," said Sara Anderson, a sophomore from Lindsborg and a Hawk Week leader. "It's a great way to build school pride, especially for those people who maybe aren't big sports fans. It's just about being something bigger than yourself."
"It's the perfect time to meet new people, learn about KU's traditions, and of course get free t-shirts," said Sarah Meyer, a senior from New London, Iowa.
It's also a chance for freshmen to make their firt college connections.
Saturday night also includes a performance by New York DJs Jane Doze at the Night on the Hill Concert by the Memorial Campeanle. The Opening Convocation led by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little signifies the beginning of a new academic year and will be held Sun. Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. at the Lied Center.
"Hawk Week is the ultimate way to bring incoming freshman together and help them become familiar with campus and each other," said Elaine Arbuckle, a sophomore from Lee's Summit, Mo. "It's overwhelming at first, but totally worth it."
Hawk Week continues through next week and includes events hosted by specific departments as well as job and information fairs.

Students petition to remove Chick-fil-A from Underground
VICTORIA PITCHER
vpitcher@kansan.com
Chick-fil-A has been the center of attention for a scandal that has nothing to do with its chicken. Owner Dan Cathy's recent public anti-gay marriage stance has sparked movements both for and against the fast food chain, even here on campus. Three petitions
appeared on Change.org shortly after the controversy, two asking the University to keep Chick-fil-A on campus, and one asking to remove it.
Chick-fil-A is currently under contract with the University until 2014. Mike Reid, director of public affairs said the University plans to look at the issue later this month. Reid said he doesn't foresee the
University breaking its contract with Chick-fil-A. The board meeting is set for August 25.
The two petitions to keep Chickfil-A combined haven't reached the amount of signatures that the petition to remove it has. The petition to remove the business from campus, created by James Castle, a

In May, Robert Domsch, a 25-year-old from Shawnee, was charged with involuntary manslaughter. The crash victim was identified as Marco G. Vendetti,
Domsch's blood alcohol-level was taken at Truman Medical Center, where he was also treated for a broken leg and pelvis. His blood alcohol-level was .242, three times the legal limit.
According to court documents, Domsch entered westbound Interstate-670 from the wrong way, striking Vendetti's vehicle near Summit Street. Vendetti was thrown from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene by Missouri's Kansas City Fire Department emergency workers.
He was last enrolled in the University's J.D./M.B.A. program in the spring. His next court date is

Immigrants line up to work legally in US
SANTA ANA, Calif.-Nathaly Uribe has all the papers she needs to get a work permit something the 17-year-old daughter of a construction worker only dreamed of growing up as an illegal immigrant in the United States.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The high school senior said she hopes a federal program beginning Wednesday and defers deportation for illegal immigrants will make it easier to get a decent job and help pay for college.
"This is my country. It's where my roots are," said Uribe, who moved from Chile when she was a toddler and lives in Glen Burnie, Md. "It feels great to know that the country that I call home is finally accepting me."
Thousands of young illegal immigrants lined up Wednesday
hoping for the right to work legally in America without being deported. The Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals could
"This offers us an opportunity to fulfill the dreams I've had since I was a child."
At least 13,000 people stood in line in Chicago, clutching reams of paperwork, for a workshop led by immigrant rights advocates at the city's Navy Pier. Hundreds of potential applicants waited outside nonprofit offices in Los Angeles for help filing paperwork to open the door to the staples of success in America — a work permit, and then later a Social Security number and driver's license.
expand the rights of more than 1 million young illegal immigrants by giving them work permits, though they would not obtain legal residency here or a path to citizenship.
"It's something I have been waiting for since I was two years old," said Bupendra Ram, a 25-year-old communications graduate student in Fullerton, Calif., who still needs supporting documents from his Fiji Islands home before he can apply. "This offers us an opportunity to fulfill the dreams I've had since I was a child."

Less than three months before an expected tight presidential election, the new immigration program is mired in controversy. Republican critics accuse President Barack Obama of drafting the plan to boost his political standing
with Latinos ahead of November's vote and say the program favors illegal immigrants over unemployed American citizens during dismal economic times.
TH
In Arizona, which passed one of the nation's toughest anti-immigration laws, Gov Jan Brewer signed an executive order Wednesday directing state agencies to deny driver's licenses and other public benefits to illegal immigrants who obtain work authorizations under the program. Brewer said she's following the intent of the current state law denying public benefits to illegal immigrants.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney does not support so-called Dream Act legislation for illegal immigrants who attend college — a key group that Obama aims to reach with this program. The former Massachusetts governor has also criticized the deferred action program but has not said it he would reverse it, pledging instead an unspecified "civil but resolute" long-term fix to illegal immigration.
Initial concerns that federal authorities might take a tough approach on applications or that a Republican presidential victory could unravel applicants' gains have largely been pushed aside by massive interest from thousands of young people eager to work.
So far, the measure has won favor for Obama along Latinos — many who view immigration as a litmus test when choosing a political candidate, said Manuel Pastor, director of the University of Southern California's Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration.
pose a safety threat.
"What this has done is to signal that the president, who was unable to get comprehensive immigration reform, does at least care about
the situation of these immigrants." Pastor said. "This is something that has been overwhelmingly popular in the immigrant population and in the Latino population in general."
Some Republican lawmakers have accused Obama of sidestepping Congress and creating a backdoor amnesty program.
"It's a betrayal of American young people," said Rep. Dana Robrahacher, a California Republican. "We supposed to be representing the interests of the American people — not people who come here illegally from other countries."
In an internal document outlining the program's implementation, Department of Homeland Security officials estimated more than 1 million people would apply in the first year and about 890,000 would be eligible.
On Wednesday, immigrants lined up for help filing applications at workshops around the country. Others sought identity documents from consulates to be able to apply.
Jaqueline Cinto said she's still working on gathering the documents she needs, knowing it's her only shot at putting her master's degree in education to good use. But she's nervous that filing the papers might put her relatives at risk for deportation — even though Homeland Security officials have said they will generally not use applicants' information to track down other family.
"I am even more afraid that I might be denied," said Cinto, 26, who came to New York more than a decade ago from Mexico.
The documents to prove identity could include passports, birth certificates, school transcripts; medical, financial and military records. Multiple sworn affidavits, signed under penalty of perjury, can also be used. Homeland Security officials said. Anyone found to have committed fraud will be referred to federal immigration agents, the department said.

Protests about territory disputes erupt, lead to arrests

Protesters hold slogan reading "Diaoyu Island is Ours" during a protest in front of the Japanese government office in Taipei, Taiwan, Wednesday.
TOKYO — Regional tensions flared on the emotional anniversary of Japan's World War II surrender as activists from China and South Korea used Wednesday's occasion to press rival territorial claims, prompting 14 arrests by Japanese authorities.
The 14 people had traveled by boat from Hong Kong to a set of uninhabited islands controlled by Japan but also claimed by China and Taiwan. Japanese police initially arrested five activists who swam ashore in the East China Sea chain, known as Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese.
China's official Xinhua News Agency said the arrests had caused tensions over its territorial dispute with Japan to surge "to a new high."
Japan coast guard officers later arrested nine others who stayed on the fishing boat, the Kai Fung 2, including two who had earlier landed on one of the islands and went back on board, officials said. Coast guard officials said the activists are likely to be taken to Naha, the capital of Okinawa prefecture which has jurisdiction over the islands, for further questioning.
"We want the world to know that this
is — way back in history — the territory of China, and as Chinese people we can go there fishing, touring at our own right," David Ko, a spokesman for the activists, said in a telephone interview from Hong Kong. "The Japanese have no right to stop us."
Chinese activists last landed on the island in 1996, and seven who were arrested were repatriated quickly.
China urged Japan to refrain from taking any action that could endanger Chinese citizens or their property, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement.
Japan says it has controlled the five main islands for over 100 years. It has been trying to place four that are privately held under state ownership to bolster its territorial claim.
Youth riots in French housing project end after police intervene
AMIENS, France — Tensions appear to have subsided in a northern French city after police fanned out overnight to prevent a repeat of riots that left a pre-school in ashes and revived concerns about security in France's housing projects.
EUROPE
Residents of housing projects in Amiens' northern district said Wednesday that they remain alert for fresh skimishes, because relations between police and youth in the neighborhood have long been strained.
More than 200 riot police were sta-
The administration for the Somme region said no damage or violence were reported Tuesday night, but said it will maintain the heightened police presence Wednesday night and perhaps longer.
A standoff between police and people attending a memorial for a young man
who died in a moto cycle accident may have triggered the rioting. Officials underlined that police were not involved in the death.
Mutual suspicion has long marred relations between police and idle youth in France's poor urban and suburban housing projects. Widespread unemployment and societal discrimination against youth with immigrant roots was in part behind nationwide riots in 2005, which erupted after two teenage boys died fleeing police near Paris.
AUSTRALIA
Graphic photos, warnings to appear on cigarette packs
CANBERRA Australia
CANBERRA, Australia Australia's highest court upheld the world's toughest law on cigarette promotion Wednesday, prohibiting tobacco company logos on cigarette packs that will instead show cancer-riddled mouths, blinded eyeballs and sickly children.
The High Court rejected a challenge by tobacco companies who argued the value of their trademarks will be destroyed if they are no longer able to display their distinctive colors, brand designs and logos on packs of cigarettes.
Starting in December, packs will instead come in a uniformly drab
shade of olive and feature dire health warnings and graphic photographs of smoking's health effects. The government, which has urged other countries to adopt similar rules, hopes the new packs will make smoking as unglamorous as possible.
Many countries mandate that packages display photos or text describing smoking's health effects, and some limit the size of the branding or ban certain slogans, but Australia's dual approach would be the strictest globally.
"Many other countries around the world ... will take heart from the success of this decision today." Attorney
General Nicola Roxon told reporters after the court ruling.
Smokers account for 17 percent of Australia's population, compared with around 20 percent of American adults.
Tobacco advertising was banned from Australian television and radio in 1976. Restrictions on advertising have tightened over the years to include print ads, the Internet and retail outlets.
With high taxes aimed at dissuading smokers, a pack of 25 cigarettes retails in Australia for about 16 Australian dollars ($17).
Jordanian government critic questioned for inciting riots
A. S. K.
MIDDLE EAST
AMMAN, Jordan — Prominent Jordanian political analyst and government critic Labib Kamhawi said Wednesday that he may face prosecution and even jail for inciting revolt and defaming Jordan's King Abdullah II, but he denied any wrongdoing and vowed he will fight back.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Prominent Jordanian political analyst and government critic Labib Kamhaw poses for a portrait in his office in Amman, Jordan, Wednesday.
The Amman general prosecutor said earlier that Khamawi is being questioned on suspicion of publicly harming the king's dignity and inciting people against the government.
"Of course, I'm planning to fight back," Kamhawi told The Associated Press of the prosecutor's actions. "If we accept this, it will be the end of freedom of speech in Jordan."
The affair started when Kamhawi made comments on a TV talk show a few weeks ago that allegedly questioned the king's reform ambitions.
Kamhawi said his statements were not an affront to the king's person. "We're fighting back on behalf of the people of Jordan," he said, adding that he considered the case a step backward from improvements in freedom of expression in Jordan since last year's uprisings in the region.
The prosecutor, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said
Kamhawi allegedly accused the king of paving mere tip service to reform plans.
Kamhawi's run-in with authorities is the latest in a string of similar incidents this year in which activists were arrested.

Sardina's roommates, who were not at the house party, told the Kansan in an earlier interview they had heard from others that Sardina had a glass bottle broken over his head during the fight.
He was last enrolled at the University in fall 2011. Sardina was a sergeant in the National Guard from Clarence, N.Y. He served three tours of duty in Iraq from 2006 to 2007.
Gonzalez's next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 28.
MAY - PRESENT
More than 50 aggravated burglaries occurred over the summer, and Lawrence Police are ask
ing students to lock their doors and be mindful as they return to the University.
Police believe they've made two arrests in connection with the string of burglaries.
The first was 32-year-old William D. Washington III on June 9. Police caught him allegedly trying to enter another home while they investigated a nearby burglar in the 3400 block of Augusta Drive. Prosecutors charged him with aggravated burglary, attempted aggravated burglary, burglary and three other charges.
Ronald Kenneth Brooks Jr,
33, was charged Aug. 1 with
aggravated burglary and two other charges after allegedly entering two home in northern Lawrence.
Despite the arrests, the burglaries continue, police spokesman Trent McKinley said Tuesday.
"There are likely more than these two individuals involved," McKinley said. "We know that
someone is either a copy cat, or maybe they're working together."
McKinley said students could just as easily become victims to burglary as any Lawrence home-owner.
"Don't advertise what you have," McKinley said. "Students' laptops and belongings can easily be seen through windows."
The burglaries all have similar characteristics. The burglar enters the property through an unlocked door or window while the residents sleep, so the easiest way to avoid becoming a victim is to lock up.
"Locking your doors doesn't necessarily prevent crime, but it can prevent it from happening to you" McKinley said. "Lots of times they will just keep moving until they find an unlocked space."

Chick-fil-A

A netition has been started to remove the Chick-fil-A in the Underground because of president Dan Cathy's anti-gay comments
FROM CHICK-FIL-A PAGE 1A
University alumni from Overland Park, had reached 2,000 signatures on July 20.
One petitioner, Warner Cook, a senior from Olathe, married her girlfriend of one year last December. She commented on Change.org saying "my belief in same-sex marriage is worth more than a chicken sandwich". Cook said the company financially supports organizations that affect her personally.
"I'm definitely not planning on eating there at all this year." Cook said. Cook said she hopes that the University removes Chick-fil-A from campus.
Another petitioner commented saying that "a University that provides opportunities for a diverse group of people, should not have a place like Chick-fil-A that is so openly against equal rights".
An opposing petition, asking the University to not take action against Chick-fil-A, had reached 500 signatures on July 27 and is almost to 700. The petition letter stated that Chick-fil-A was not violating any laws and should remain in business.
"There is no valid reason why disagreement from those opposed to Chick-fil-A values should succeed in not allowing Chick-fil-A to be in existence, presence, or practice," the petition on Change.org said.
Students are not the only ones getting involved. Congressman
Tim Huelskamp asked in a letter to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little that the university uphold its non-discrimination policy in order to protect Chick-fil-A.
"Kicking out a private business that is operating legally on the grounds that its leader holds a particular set of religious and political beliefs different from yours or any other official would violate the University's commitment to non-discrimination," Huelskamp said in his letter.
Huelskamp said he hoped the University would not take a side when it comes time to review its contract with Chick-fil-A.

Weed ads banned in Denver
DENVER — Free joints! Cheap weed! Come on down! Marijuana advertising in Denver can be shockingly aggressive, with psychedelic billboards and sign wavers promoting potent weed and an affordable high.

But in-your-face advertising messages in Colorado's largest city look like they're on their way out after the city council voted 13-0 to ban outdoor advertising for medical marijuana.
The Denver ordinance passed Monday night seeks to curb the city's vibrant and competitive marijuana industry. Council members said the city needs to crack down on the advertising.

to billboard, bus-bench and sidewalk sign-twirler advertising. The ordinance doesn't affect print advertising or radio or television ads, but the ads would have to include the disclaimer that pot is "for registered Colorado medical marijuana patients only."
The marijuana industry in Denver was itself deeply divided on the advertising ban, which requires one more vote next week but appears certain to pass.
One Denver group, the Medical Marijuana Industry Group, actively pushed for the advertising ban, saying that unseemly ads give people a bad impression of the industry. Other industry groups, including the influential Cannabis Business Alliance, argued unsuccessfully that the advertising ban goes too far.

Delaware and Vermont ban marijuana advertising. Montana passed a statewide ban last year, though a judge blocked it from taking effect while a legal challenge is under way.
District Judge James Reynolds, of Helena, ruled that the advertising ban is a First Amendment violation and that "any violation of the right to free speech is an irreparable injury."
Washington state bans physicians from advertising that they recommend the drug. Doctors that violate that state's advertising ban can face sanctions from the state Department of Health.

Flames in a smoldering field inch toward a firefighter Wednesday near Cie Elum, Wash. Crews fighting the large blaze in central Washington hope to increase containment levels by Wednesday evening, but are keeping a wary eye on weather conditions later in the week. The fire burning near Cie Elum has burned dozens of homes and caused about 900 people to evacuate.

Spreading wildfires devastate West Coast
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FEATHERVILLE, Idaho Across the West, dozens of fires fueled by searing heat, dry weather and strong winds have added up to misery for weary residents who already are fed up with one of the region's worst fire seasons in decades.
Idaho's Trinity Ridge Fire has burned more than 100 square miles in the past two weeks. It's bearing down on Pine and Featherville, recreation getaways in the mountains two hours northeast of Boise.
On Wednesday, hundreds of residents of two small Idaho towns were packing their belongings and clearing out of the way of a massive wildfire burning in a gulch a few miles away and expected to hit town later this week.
"It isn't a question of if, but when." Boise National Forest Spokesman Dave Olson said of the fire reaching the outskirts of Featherville.
"Nevada has been hammered, and Idaho has some big ones that are going to burn until the snow falls," Smith said.
A series of wildfires also has started or intensified in recent days in Washington, northern California and Nevada as the West's high heat and dry conditions keep fire crews busier than usual.
Not only are more of the nation's wildfires occurring in the West this year than last, but the fires have gotten bigger, said Jennifer Smith of the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho. As of Wednesday, 42,933 wildfires have been reported in the nation this season, burning 6.4 million acres. The 10-year average for this period is 52,535 fires, but covering only 5 million acres, she said.
On Wednesday, there was a steady stream of traffic with people leaving Featherville and Pine. The area has 450 homes. About half are inhabited year-round, while the others are summer homes and weekend retreats.

Fire crews are batting a total of nine big fires in Idaho, including one in the Salmon-Challis National Forest that stranded 250 rafters floating the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Authorities closed a backcountry access road due to falling boulders and debris caused by the blaze. Some of the floaters were stuck for two days before authorities began shutting them out Wednesday.
Nevada has 11 big fires burning and California has 13, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
In central Washington, crews fighting a large blaze hoped to increase containment levels by Wednesday evening, but they kept a wary eye on weather forecast for later in the week.
The fire near Cle Elum has burned dozens of homes and caused about 900 people to evacuate. Incident commander Rex Reed said he was hopeful containment would be up from 10 percent to 25 percent later in the day.
"We're at 800 people assigned to the fire now, so we should have a good day," he said of efforts to battle the Taylor Bridge fire, which has scorched 28,000 acres, or more than 40 square miles.
The fire broke out Monday at a bridge construction site.
In California, firefighters already dealing with the extreme heat were bracing Wednesday for the possibility of thunderstorms and strong winds in their quest to conquer raging wildfires.
In far Northern California, crews fought to re-establish containment lines as a blaze at the Chips Fire in the Plumas National Forest continued to threaten more than 900 homes and prompted voluntary evacuations.
A day after firefighters had to pull back as blowing embers helped spread the blaze along the southern edge, crews were concerned that thunderstorms could make their jobs even more difficult, fire spokeswoman Alissa Tanner said Wednesday.
"That's the biggest question," Tanner said. "If the thunderstorms will just be rain and not gusts of winds that will be a real blessing. If not, then it could spread the fire in many different directions."
The blaze has burned 66 square miles and is about 20 percent contained, Tanner said.
Elsewhere in California, firefighters have made significant progress battling a wildfire in nearby Lake County, despite dry weather and triple-digit temperatures.
The fire is now 70 percent contained as hundreds of evacuees were allowed to return after the fire that burned more than 12 square miles and threatened nearly 500 homes in the Spring Valley community.
A 41/2-square-mile blaze in foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains in Riverside County is about 15 percent contained, state fire officials said Wednesday. The fast-moving blaze, which has already burned four structures, is threatening 47 homes near the community of Aguanga east of Temecula, state fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said.
In Southern California, wildfires continue to threaten dozens of homes after burning through more than 19 square miles of brush in the midst of a brutal heat wave.
In northeastern San Diego County, a series of lightning fires was 15 percent contained after burning more than $14\%$ square miles of wilderness.
Two residents were burned, one seriously, officials said.

RENOVATION
Summer-long project improves Wecoe Beach

Before the renovations, there was a lack of lighting along Wescoe Beach. The changes, which cost $250,000, will feature LED lighting and electrical outlets. Because of the heat, the crews are a few weeks behind schedule.
After overflowing with yellow construction tape and crews most of the summer, the Wescoe Beach terrace is scheduled to re-open to foot-traffic tomorrow.
scoce Beach underwent renovations this summer to provide more sitting room for students on campus. Construction took all summer long to complete.
The Wescoe Beach Renovation project updates Wescoe's nearly 40-year-old exterior. Former Student Body President Libby Johnson led the way to pass the project in May, dubbing Wescoe Beach an "eye-sore."
Construction was slated to be finished Aug. 1, but some budgetary delays and the heat pushed the timetable back.

To stay within the $250,000 allocated budget, the number of seat-walls and trees were reduced. The revised plan features 12 seat-walls, LED lighting, 10 electrical outlets, new shrubs and 12 new trees.
Although the greenery will not be planted until there is cooler weather next month, the rest of the terrace will be complete.
"The majority of the plaza will be open Friday for students to walk around, use and enjoy," said Peg Livingood, the project manager.
Though the plan is a little different than what her predecess
sor had in mind, current Student Body President Hannah Bolton is happy to see it come to fruition.
"We've been lucky enough to see the entire progress of the project, and we're really excited with what it's coming out to be," Bolton said. "It's going to be a nice-looking space for more students to use."

"Just to be able to charge your phone, or computer," Woodard said. "Technology is huge, so it's important that we provide a venue for students to use it."
As students themselves, both Bolton and vice-president Brandon Woodard are most looking forward to the new electrical out-
Another highlight is the increased lighting. Student Senate's Campus Safety Advisory board allocated half of the necessary $50,000 for lighting. University administration paid the other half and matched all project funding dollar-for-dollar.
Livinggood said, "I think students are going to love this space."
The additional lighting brings the area up to the University's lighting standard. Bolton said she hopes the improvement will help students.
The revamped space also allows an additional fifth tabling spot in
front of Jayhawk Boulevard for student group use, but Livingood is asking students to wait another week to start reserving spaces.
"Despite those delays, it's going to be a space where small classes and lots of students can gather,"

RESEARCH
Student researchers take advantage of summer vacation
For student researchers, summer isn't a time go home or relax. Its an opportunity to work harder.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Griffin Roberts, a graduate student from Argenta, Ill., finds the summer to be busier than the regular school year.
"You are expected to achieve a lot of progress with the same amount of time," Roberts said. "It tends to be longer hours with
more obstacles in the way. When there are no classes, you have no excuse to not produce.[59]
Roberts' focus this summer has been managing a group of undergraduates as part of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. His duties include helping the students stay on task, use lab equipment and adjust goals as research progresses. Roberts said his challenge this semester will be to digest data accumulated during the summer while still collecting more data.
Fellow chemical engineering graduate student Travis Wentworth from Berwick, Maine finds the break from classes allows for more progress on his research.
"The faculty tends to be more available for research questions, therefore you can generally find your adviser or another faculty member to meet with if you and help with research issues." Wentworth said.
While the summer heat was nearly intolerable for Wentworth, especially compared to Maine, he
appreciated Lawrence and campus were less busy during the summer months.
Wentworth is developing chemical agents for use in lean burn diesel engines and will begin an National Science Foundation fellowship this fall. As the semester begins, Wentworth will again take classes, work as a teaching assistant, and move his research over to the new Measurement, Materials, and Sustainable Environment Center. Wentworth estimates the
added semester duties require at least an extra 20 hours a week.
Carey Johnson, Professor of Chemistry, oversaw three graduate and one undergraduate student this summer as part of his research in microscopy.
"With no classroom teaching responsibilities, there is more time for progress on research projects and informal one-on-one teaching with students regarding their projects," Johnson said.
One of his projects allowed
him to travel to Regensburg, Germany, where he visited a collaborating group.
Johnson said most professors use summer time to focus more on research.
"I will spend more of my time in classroom teaching, so I will have less time for research," Johnson said. "This is also true for those graduate students who will have appointments as teaching assistants."

STUDENT SENATE
Student Senate seats available for freshmen
For freshmen looking to get involved on campus, Student Senate is a great place to start. This year, there are five openings for freshmen, with elections coming up fast.
An information meeting for interested students will be held on Aug. 23. Prospective candidates must fill out paper applications and get 50 signatures by Aug. 27 in order to run. Elections are held online on Sept. 4 and 5, giving students a week to campaign on Daisy Hill.
Senate Outreach Director Alek Joyce said that when it comes to the campaigning process, almost anything goes. In previous years, students have made posters, chalked all over campus, shook hands outside of Mrs. E.'s and even rode around on bikes with megaphones, one of the more unusual methods of campaigning.
"Be as creative as possible," said
Joyce, a junior from Lawrence.
The only areas that are off limits are classrooms. Students must also get permission from complex directors before they can campaign in the dorms.
The competition can be fierce. Last year, 22 students ran, with the winners bringing in between 80 and 120 votes.
"It's really encouraging to see so many freshmen run," Joyce said. "It shows that they want to be involved."
Once elected, the new freshmen join committees with the rest of the senators and are given an equal vote.
Students can also apply for the JayLEAD internship if they want to get involved with a different part of senate. Students who make the internship work along side the Senate executive staff and have voting privileges, although they are not senators.

Students who aren't interested in running for senate seats but still want to have a voice in campus politics can attend Student Senate committee meetings.

ADMINISTRATION
Familiar face will run Student Affairs in fall
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
If the new Vice Provost for Student Affairs seems familiar, its probably because she isn't new. Tammara Durham was selected to fill the position last May out of the three candidates recommended by the Provost's search committee. Durham, who had already held the position in the interim during the search process since last September, now assumes a more permanent role as an advocate for students.
During the interim, Durham approached the position as though she was the acting vice provost for student affairs, but focused on short term goals, she said.
"If you want to be successful, you have to act as if the interim isn't there to be productive," Durham said.
Durham is now working on a long term strategic planning initiative under the University's Bold Aspirations, which she expects to be finished in six months. Durham sees herself as an advocate for students in and out of the classroom, which means she will represent the interests of the students to administrators when students are not present, Durham said. In addition, Durham acts as an adviser to Student Body President and Vice President Hannah Bolton and Brandon Woodard, respectively.
- The Office of Multicultural Affairs is now under the direction of Blane Harding, who was hired after a nationwide search. The office provides education about cultural diversity on campus and in the community and information on multicultural programs and activities.
- Mathematics professor Rodolfo Torres is an associate vice chancellor for research and graduate studies and a vice president of the KU Center for Research Inc. Two other associate vice chancellors will work with Torres to oversee research administration and planning.
- Denton Zeeman, a 2012 graduate of the School of Business's MBA program, will serve as program manager for RedTire. The program is designed to pair Kansas business owners looking to retire with qualified graduates from Kansas Regents institutions, including the University. RedTire will screen interested candidates and help through the purchase and transition of the business.
- Jeff Chasen is the University's new director of institutional compliance. Chasen will oversee the program, which works to make sure that the University is adhering to all necessary laws, rules and regulations.
"I help with their platform and use them as a sounding board for the current student perspective," Durham said. "It's a two-way street."
SOURCE: University of Kansas
While the relationship between student leadership and the vice provost's office has not changed much since the official appointment, it has become more stable, said Bolton.
- Jane McQueeny is the new director of Institutional Opportunity & Access. The office was created to make sure the University is an equal opportunity employer and to help promote diversity on campus. McQueeny previously worked as an attorney for the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.
New University hires
- The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences hired Larry Fillan as director of student academic services. The office helps students in the school with educational planning as well as career or life goals. Karen Ledom served as the interim director, but has now returned to her position as administrative director.
"Since she's been finalized for the role, it's been easier to work with her because we know she'll

NASA 'geeks' mark new era land Mars Curiosity rover
PASADENA, Calif. — Known to the Twitterverse and the president of the United States as "Mohawk Guy" of the Mars mission, Bobak Ferdowsi could be the changing public face of NASA and all of geekdom.
Ferdowsi, whose shaved scalp also features star shapes, is a flight director for the Mars rover Curiosity — a mission that captured the nation's imagination with its odd-defying, acrobatic landing.
-Edited by Kelsay Cipolla

SCIENCE
Seltzner directed the daring landing of the rover and appears in a NASA movie trailer describing why the Aug. 5 Mars landing involved "seven minutes of terror". The movie, posted on YouTube, became a hit.
"You guys are a little cooler than you used to be," President Barack Obama said in a Monday congratulatory phone call to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Given Ferdowsi's success, Obama, a "Star Trek" fan, joked about the Mohawk and suggested he might try it: "I think that I'm going to go back to my team and see if it makes sense."
And Mohawk Guy isn't the only star. There's also former rock 'n roller Adam Steltzner, sometimes called "Elvis Guy" because of his padded and sideburns.
Mohawk Guy's Twitter followers have soared to more than 50,000. Over the weekend, he and the 49-year-old Steltzner appeared on NPR's game show, "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me"
He's been doing Google+ hangouts. And, oh yes, he's gotten marriage proposals.
Strange hairstyles are a tradition for the 32-year-old Ferdowsi, who once donned a cut that was supposed to resemble a rocket plume — red, orange and gold.
Last week, in a Los Angeles Times interview, he acknowledged his haircut might be "a little bit of a shock" to some. He said most people think of the serious, buttoned-
In the unmanned world of space robotics, engineers are just as detail obsessed as Mission Control in Houston. But JPL doesn't handle life-and-death astronaut missions, and more risks can be taken.
It was all run by Steltzner, who twice got F' in high school math, initially skipped college to play music and enjoys making his own jam.
Such as the remarkable landing system of Mars Curiosity that featured a giant parachute, retrorockets and the gentle controlled lowering of the one-ton rover with cables.
But he noted that in 1967, engineers at his workplace, Jet Propulsion Lab, or JPL, wore Spock ears for the launch of a Venus-bound spacecraft.

The JPL missions are run in a creative conclave nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains east of Los Angeles and managed by the California Institute of Technology for NASA.
JPL prides itself on its university like atmosphere. Some engineers come to work in Hawaiian shirts, shorts and flip-flops.
"The button-down white shirts and ties were always in Houston they were not here," said Gentry Lee, who is chief engineer for planetary flight systems at JPL and is one of Ferdowsi's bosses.
"Geeks have hit pop culture," said Ken Denmead, editor and publisher of geekdad.com.

KU employee in prison for sexual battery
RACHEL SALYER

A University employee was recently terminated after being sentenced to 32 months in prison for aggravated sexual battery Aug.

Gary Baker, a 50-year-old former supervisor in facilities operations, admitted to touching a
Baker
20-year-old Lawrence woman with "intent to arouse or satisfy (his) sexual desires," during his July 13 guilty plea according to court documents.
Douglas County District Court Judge Michael Malone's decision went against a plea agreement between the defense and the prosecution that recommended probation.
Baker, who did not have a criminal history, was originally charged with rape after the March 24 incident occurred in his home.
The charge was reduced to aggravated sexual battery in exchange for a guilty plea and the recommendation of probation.
John Kerns, Baker's defense attorney, said in court Baker worked for the University for 25 years.
"He still has that position and hopes to continue to have it after today," Kerns said in court Friday before the sentencing.
Malone disapproved of Baker's in-court apology during the sentencing, saying he focused too much on the alcohol he drank when the assault occurred and his own loss of friends and family instead of focusing on the victim.
"I don't see anything in this court that shows you've taken any responsibility for what you did," Malone said.
As part of the state statute on aggravated sexual battery, Baker will have to register as a sex offender for 25 years.
Baker was employed by the University up until his sentencing date, including the time after his July conviction.
"University policy requires criminal background checks for newly hired or rehired employees," Jess said.
According to the University's background check policy, it considers the seriousness of the candidate's crime "in relationship to the job requirements and related responsibilities of the position." Other factors, including someone's rehabilitation and post-employment records, are also considered.

SHOOTING
Texas A&M shooter kills three, dies in police standoff
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — In the months leading up to Monday's shootout near Texas A&M University that killed three, gunman Thomas Alton Caffall III had cut off contact with his family, even though his mother was seriously ill.
Caffall's family said the 35-yearold told them he had his own issues, an unspecified mental illness they declined to comment on.
Police said officers shot and killed Caffall during the 30-minute shoot-out. A bystander also died and four others were wounded; police did not say whose gunfire struck them.
On Monday, Caffall opened fire on a law enforcement officer who was trying to serve him with a court summons for being two months behind on rent. The officer was killed.
"It breaks our hearts his illness led to this," Caffall's family said in a statement released through an attorney. Authorities continued their investigation Tuesday, saying Caffall was in possession of multiple weapons and fired numerous times.
W. Tyler Moore, the family's attorney, had known Cattall since he was 4 years old.
"He wasn't the same kid that he used to be, let's just say that," Moore said. "He was sweet, very bright, good sense of humor, just a good kid, a sweet kid."
Moore said the Caffall he used to know may have surfaced when, just before dying, Caffall offered an apology to the officer he had fatally shot.
College Station Police Chief Jeff Capps said Tuesday that Caffall had "some long guns and pistols" in his home, but would not give details and did not say whether the weapons had been obtained legally.
"The crime scene is still being processed." Capps said.
Capps said he wasn't aware of any previous law enforcement contact with the gunman
Just after noon Monday, College Station police fielded frantic 911 calls about gunfire in the neighborhood near the university's football stadium. Responding officers found Brazos County Constable Brian Bachmann, 41, shot on the lawn of the house.
"Either upon approach to the house or shortly after, it appears he was shot by the suspect," Capps said Tuesday.
Bachmann had volunteered to deliver a notice for Caffall to appear in court on Aug. 23 because he was at least two months behind paying his rent, owing $1,250, said Michael McCleary, a justice of the peace in Brazos County.
"Another deputy was planning on taking the (notice), but Brian grabbed it from him and said, 'Bill take it.' He enjoyed doing it," McCleary said.
Before Caffall was taken from the scene, Rigo Cisneros, a neighbor and former medic, treated him.
ATF
"I started identifying his wounds and at that point he asked me to apologize to the officer he had shot,"
The former medic said he has not put any thought into whether Caffall was being sincere.
"My only thought was with the officers that were wounded and killed. I could care less if I ever knew (Cafall's) name," Cisneros said.
said Cisneros, 40.

The Miami doctor fled to his native Panama after coming under investigation in 2004, and Panamanian authorities say they do not extradite their own citizens. Given the unlikelihood of capturing Angulo and the inconvenience of maintaining so much evidence, prosecutors gave up the long pursuit.
The case started in 2003 with a raid of a small Iowa drugstore and eventually secured the conviction of 26 defendants, including 19 doctors. The investigation dismantled two Internet pharmacies that illegally sold 30 million pills to customers. Investigators also recovered $7 million, most of which went to Iowa police agencies that helped with the case.
"Continued storage of these materials is difficult and expensive," wrote Stephanie Rose, the U.S. attorney for northern Iowa. She called the task "an economic and practical hardship" for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
When a major drug suspect flees the country, federal authorities often leave the charges pending in case the fugitive tries to sneak back into the U.S. or a country with a friendly extradition process. But in Angulo's case, the volume of evidence posed
Armando Angulo was indicted in 2007 in a multimillion dollar scheme that involved selling prescription drugs to patients who were never examined or even interviewed by a physician. A federal judge in Iowa dismissed the charge last week at the request of prosecutors, who want to throw out the many records collected over their nine-year investigation to free up more space.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — A fugitive doctor charged in the nation's largest prosecution of Internet pharmacies is getting off in part because there's just too much evidence in his case: more than 400,000 documents and two terabytes of electronic data that federal authorities say is expensive to maintain.
Angulo, 59, was accused of improperly authorizing thousands of prescriptions for pain pills, diet medication and other drugs while working for Pharmacom International Corp., a Florida-based Internet company that operated from 2003 to 2004.
Two-terabyte memory drives are widely available for $100, but the DEA's data server must be relatively small and may need replacement, a costly and risky proposition for an agency that must maintain the integrity of documents, said University of Iowa computer scientist Douglas Jones.
Randy Stock, who runs the website whatsabyte.com, which explains electronic storage, said he doubted that storing the data would have been that problematic for the government.
"I'm thinking that excuse is just their easy way out," he wrote in an e-mail.
"A responsible organization doesn't upgrade every time new technology is available. That's all they would be doing." Jones said. "But the result is you end up in situations like this where the capacity they have is not quite up to the incredible volume of data involved."
U. S. District Judge Linda Reade dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.

Fugitive Armando Angulo, who was charged in the nation's largest prosecution of Internet pharmacies, is getting off in part because of the huge volume of evidence in his case:
Angulo fled to Panama around the time Florida regulators suspended his medical license for prescribing controlled substances to Medicaid patients "in excessive quantities and without medical justification." An audit found his prescriptions cost Medicaid $6.5 million over six years and caused addiction and dangerous health risks.
The evidence took up 5 percent of the DEA's worldwide electronic storage. Agents had also kept several hundred boxes of paper containing 440,000 documents, plus dozens of computers, servers and other bulky items.
Two terabytes is enough to store the text of 2 million novels, or roughly 625,000 copies of "War and Peace."
conspiracy to illegally distribute controlled substances and launder the proceeds.
A. K. SINGH
Investigators know Angulo's whereabouts in Panama, which has an extradition treaty with the U.S. to return fugitives. But a spokeswoman for the Panamanian Embassy in Washington said the country never received a formal extradition petition for Angulo and that the country's constitution bars the extradition of Panamanian citizens.
The investigation began after agents raided the Union Family Pharmacy in Dubuque and found evidence that it had illegally dispensed medication over a six-month period for Pharmacom and another Internet company, Medical Web Services, which pleaded guilty. Eleven of its physicians were also prosecuted.

SCRARBLE SHAKE UP
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Top Scrabble player ejected after cheating
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — One of the top young Scrabble players in the country has been kicked out of the game's national championship tournament in Florida after he was caught hiding blank letter tiles, organizers said Tuesday.
John D. Williams, Jr., executive director of the National Scrabble Association, said that a male player was ejected from the 350-player event in Round 24 of the 28-round event.
The cheating was spotted by a
player at a nearby table, who noticed the ejected player conceal a pair of blank tiles by dropping them on the floor, organizers said. Blank tiles can be used as wild card letters. When confronted by the tournament director, he admitted to it, organizers said.
Williams, who has served as executive director for 25 years and co-authored a book on the popular Hasbro board game in 1993, said this was the first incident of cheating at a national tournament. However, he said it's been known to occur at smaller, regional events.
"It does happen no matter what."
People will try to do this," he said. "It's the first time it's happened in a venue this big though. It's unfortunate. The Scrabble world is abuzz. The Internet is abuzz."
Williams would not identify the player by name or age because he's a minor. There are four divisions and he was competing in Division 3.
He said Division 3 is equal to "any great living-room player out there."
In Scrabble matches, players accumulate points during one-one matches by pulling random letter tiles from a bag of 100 and trying to create words.
A total of 98 tiles have letters on them and two are blank. Blank tiles can be used as wild card letters to complete words.
The ejected player had concluded a previous game and never reinserted the blank tiles into his bag in an attempt to use them at his discretion in the next game, organizers said.
The ejected player forfeited all of his wins.
Williams said there is usually "good self-policing in the Scrabble world" as players try to protect the integrity of statistics on the competitive circuit.
Players in the national tournament format play multiple matches over the five-day event. The winner is determined by a combination of their overall record against other players and the cumulative point spread over the entire tournament.
That's because national events draw young players to seniors. The leader entering Wednesday's final day of competition is National and Scrabble All-Star Champion David Gibson, a 61-year-old math teacher from Spartanburg, S.C.
jason ketter, 30, and nine-time Jeopardy champion from New Jersey, is in fourth place.
The winner receives the $10,000 top prize.
"It gets pretty deep. We're one step away from drug testing," Williams joked.
While Williams said this was the first time the national tournament has dealt with scandal, the incident could shine a brighter light on other advantages players have been known to employ.
Even before Tuesday's cheating ejection it was well-known that some players take minerals known as "alleged brain boosters."
"But no steroids so far" Williams quipped.

An X-51A Wakever hypersensitive flight test vehicle is uploaded to an Air Force Flight Test Center B-52 for fit testing at Edwards Air Force Base.
The X-51A Waverider was designed to reach Mach 6, or 3,600 mph, after being dropped by a B-52 bomber off the Southern California coast on Tuesday. Engineers hoped it would sustain its top speed for five minutes, twice as long as an X-51A has gone before.
Unmanned hypersonic vehicle fails flight test
LOS ANGELES — An unmanned experimental aircraft failed during an attempt to fly at six times the speed of sound in the latest setback for hypersonic flight.
But the Air Force said Wednesday that a faulty control fin prevented it from starting its exotic scramjet engine and it was lost.
"It is unfortunate that a problem
with this subsystem caused a termination before we could light the scrubjet engine," Charlie Brink of the Air Force Research Laboratory at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, said in a statement.
The Waverider successfully detached from the B-52 and fired the rocket booster as planned. Then its scramjet engine was supposed to take over as it attempted to climb to Mach 6. Fifteen seconds after separating from the rocket booster, the Waverider lost control.
"All our data showed we had created the right conditions for engine ignition and we were very hopeful to meet our test objectives." Brink said.

Making healthier eating habits for a new semester
Biting into a slice of warm, cheesy pizza and popping off the lid to a cold, bottled drink is the quintessential college lunch, dinner and sometimes breakfast, that I enjoy on a regular basis. Even while studying abroad in Paris this past summer, I found time for a pizza or two, and don't get me started on my "No Pastry Left Behind" rule.
It never hits me that I should watch what I eat until I'm cursing all the stairs on campus behind Malott leading up to Wescoe. This year is going to be different though. While I probably will never be one of those die-hard gym-goers, one who writes what they eat in a daily journal or takes handfuls of supplements every morning, I have started eating less of the bad stuff.
A world with low-sodium, zero grams of fat, and no preservatives has opened up to me. I now not only see the doughnuts in the Union, but the healthier options too. The wraps and shakes have been there all along, but much like the footnotes in my textbooks, I glazed over them. I mean if the author can't incorporate a description in the text, why should I bother? I had the same

reasoning with food. But if I learned anything from "The Colbert Report" and his description of Taco Bell's Doritos Loco Sacos as a brightly-colored traffic cone warning you of massive flavor ahead, it was that sometimes the first thing our eye is attracted to isn't always the best thing.
My grocery cart is now often-filled with yogurt, salsa, eggs, Cheerios, milk, salmon, broccoli, other healthy items and sometimes the occasional pint of 2nd St. Creamery ice cream (copper kettle caramel is the best with actual swirls of caramel). I don't like using the word "never," but I will never cut out all the bad stuff. I don't need to give up my pizza and beer nights, nor do I need to ignore the welcome invitation of online pizza ordering around 1 or 2 a.m., but I can do it less frequently.
good not to eat until you're stuffed. The French don't even have a phrase for "I am stuffed" because it does not exist in their culture. Here we indulge until our buttons pop off our jeans, and I was just as guilty as the next person in the drive-thru. But with less of the bad stuff I'm able to do more.
The same stairs that I used to curse, I run up them with ease to begin my evening jog on campus. I am not overweight, so I can't go on about how my life has changed, but I can tell you that I feel better.
Upon coming back from Europe, I learned that it feels
I may always have a borderline obsession with pizza, but I indulge less on my addiction. I'm a foodie with a wider variety of options and smaller portions because let's face it, when you start to ask the pizza guy if he can bring more peppers tomorrow, then you know you might have a problem. So like the French, I too have taken out the phrase "I am full" from my vocabulary and enjoy food just the same.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Employers check Facebook profiles
BRETT PHILLIPPE editor@kansan.com
If you take a look at our world today, social media is all around us. And one platform in particular that has taken the world by storm in recent years is Facebook.
Now, unless you have been living under a rock for the past eight years, you know of Facebook. Facebook is, for all intents and purposes, a social networking website that has infused various games and video technologies to allow the user to interact with friends and families.
With Facebook, you can do many things, like plan events, catch up with old friends and family and many other things. But it was not until recently that Facebook has gone from the type of site that our parents use to share pictures of a cat kissing an elephant (yes, it exists) to what it is today, a marketing and advertising tool to get noticed professionally on a personal level but also on a business level.
If you want to use Facebook for more than catching up with your old high school friends and help secure a future in our social media society, there are a few things you can do. First things first, stop posting pictures of you and your friends being drunken idiots and posting damaging statutes like saying, "rock and roll boys and girls, rock and roll." From a personal
standpoint, no one wants to see that anyway.
Professionally, companies can now take a look at your Facebook profile and use it to judge how hirable you are. In a March article, Forbes.com stated that the biggest red flags for not landing an interview are, "drugs, drinking, badmouthing former employers, and lying about one's qualifications". So, if you have any of these types of posts or pictures of you doing this type of activity, it may be time to take them down if you want to get a good job after you're done with college.
Another thing that you can do to make your profile look much more professional is to do a version of spring-cleaning. What I mean is that every six months or so, you should go and update your interests, goals, and other important info. The reasoning for this is to show that your interests reflect that of future employers as well as giving the interviewer a good representation of what you are about.
So, as we get this semester underway, remember to be smart with what you post, because once it is out there, it is out there for good, and you don't want a couple of photos or videos of you doing something stupid to deny you that first great job.

COMMENTARY All of the sports, all the time
It was the block by Thomas Robinson that shook the foundation of Allen Fieldhouse in the last match-up versus Missouri.
Jayhawk strikes gold at the Olympic games in London
It's the start of new season of moments and all eyes will now be on Charlie Weis and the football team.
It was the heartbreak of coming so close to winning a sixth national title for the Jayhawks men's basketball team only to be stopped by the high-flying Kentucky Wildcats in New Orleans.
Every season there are moments etched in the Kansas community.
These are the images that are burned into Kansas fans memory, and rightfully so.
By Ryan McCarthy

Weis and his staff have clearly brought their own style, far different from Turner Gill's coaching philosophy.
It was the moment where everyone felt some confidence in the football program again when Charlie Weis was behind the podium for the first time in December.
PAGE 2C
He's tightened up the restrictions on the remaining players that did not decide to leave. He's brought in some transfers who are looking for their last shot at college. He's trying to make Kansas fans feel like they have a chance on Saturdays.
It's part of the responsibility of this publication to treat all the sports with coverage and that's something that the entire staff here is committed to this fall.
What I found in covering these two sports was that the recognition might be less, but the hard work and dedication remains the same as any other sport.
The past two years have left hajwak fans numb on fall Saturday afternoono; going through the motions, maybe cheering occasionally when the team strenugetogether a few plays, but knowing that what the result of the game was going to be before the team emerged from the tunnel.
At The Kansan this is what we strive to do. We have the coverage of the major events that people want to hear about, but we also work diligently to report the news for every athletic team during fall 2012.
So even though you'll be looking for the moments at Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse, remember there are other ones out there as well.

Football will be the focal point (at least until basketball is in full swing), but there are still, plenty of other stories that are seen throughout this campus that go relatively unnoticed.
Even if the Jayhawks don't make a run at a bowl game, Kansas fans understand that they will be in a better place than last fail.
First, it was the women's soccer team that brought in a slew of young talent and put together one of the better efforts by the program. In three or four years, including a NCAA tournament berth.
My first year on The Kansan, I got that opportunity to see two of those teams up close and personal.
Second, it was the women's basketball team who desperately needed to make the NCAA Tournament after coming up short so many times in the recent past.
They don't always have the largest crowds or get swamped by media members after a game, but they still put out a high level of commitment.

Weis overhall brings changes the culture of Kansas football
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Following a 1-16 conference record and struggling to fill Memorial Stadium the past two seasons under the direction of Turner Gill, the Kansas football team decided to change their ways and were seeking a new head coach. On Dec. 8, athletic director Sheahon Zenger, hired Charlie Weis as the new leader of the Kansas Jayhawks.
Weis brings 33 years of coaching experience to Kansas, hoping to help the Jayhawks return to their 2008 form when they reached the Orange Bowl.
Since that moment, Kansas has been in major decline.
In fact, Kansas is searching for its first conference win since its 52-45 comeback victory against Colorado on November 6, 2010.
can, to get us as good as we possibly can, as quick as we possibly can. That's what I have to do."
Weis is not hiding from the fact that this football program has a lot of obstacles to overcome.
"I am more motivated than I've ever been to make this program be successful." Weis said during his Aug. 1 press conference prior to opening camp. "There might be more unknowns, but I have the same obligation to the administration, to the fan base and to the university. I have the same obligation to work as hard as I possibly
In the Big 12 Football preseason poll coming on July 19, Kansas was projected to finish in last place in the conference this season.
It was no surprise to Weis as to why the perception of Kansas football is so low. At the same time, Weis knows that a preseason prediction won't be enough to hold his team back and the Jayhawks can change their position in the polls as the season progresses.
"I can't see why they wouldn't rate us last." he said. "Based off of evidence of what they have right now all we've done is hire a new
coach, hire a new staff and change the way business is being done to mirror the personality of the head coach. There has been a big change over of personnel, but the jury is still out. You have to go out and prove it."
Weis has been busy with mass turnover this offseason as 23 players have left Kansas and 27 newcomers joined the program. Of the 27 new students, the most talked about player is senior quarterback Davne Crist.
Despite transferring from Notre Dame, Crist will be immediately eligible due to his completion of undergraduate requirements.
Crist is reuniting with Weis in
Kansas after briefly playing for him in 2009 at Notre Dame, where Weis was the head coach for five seasons.
Along with Crist, senior offensive tackle Tanner Hawkinson and senior defensive end/linebacker Toben Opurum were elected as captains by their teammates in April.
Weis hopes that with some changes in the coaching staff and personnel, Kansas can finish better than where they are expected to end the season. His past players have confidence in him and

Jayhawks learn highs and lows of travel
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
From Aug. 7-14, the Kansas men's basketball team traveled to Switzerland and Paris and played four exhibition games against the Swiss national team and AMW France professional team.
The NCAA permits basketball teams to take a trip to a foreign country to play exhibition games every four years. The Jayhawks had 10 practices together before traveling to Europe.
DELAYED DEPARTURE
The Jayhawks' trip to Europe got off to a turbulent start after weather and mechanical issues with the airplane forced the team to miss their flight from Washington, D.C. to Zurich, Switzerland.
While en route to Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., the pilot of the plane carrying the Jayhawks informed them that due to inclement weather, no planes would be able to take off or land at the airport.
Instead, the lajahawks' flight was rerouted to Pittsburgh, Pa., where the team was then told that a leak in the cockpit would need to be fixed before they could continue on to Washington.
There was a silver lining to the storm cloud, as freshman guard Andrew White was able to see his family for an extended visit. The Chester, Va., native's family drove to Dulles Airport in order to see the jayhaws off on their trip to Europe.
The Jayhawks arrived in Switzerland in the morning of Aug. 7, the day of their first game.
GAME 1: KANSAS 79,
SWISS NATIONAL TEAM 76
A late offensive rebound by senior forward Kevin Young set up a basket by senior forward Jeff Withey to give the jayhawks a 79-73 lead and end the Swiss national team's hopes of a comeback bid.
The Swiss team didn't give up, knocking down a 3-point shot with 1.6 seconds left, but it was too little too late.
Kansas had a 17-point lead with a little over five minutes to go before the Swiss national team came fighting back to make it a game. In the end, the Jayhawks proved too much.
Kansas had four players score in double digits, including Jeff Withey who led the team with 12 points.

Kaun, Russia takes home bronze medal in basketball
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Former Kansas men's basketball player Sasha Kaun won a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics in London on Sunday, playing for his native Russia the past few weeks.
Kaun started in six of Russia's seven games in the tournament, including the bronze medal match versus Argentina. In that game, Kaun played a tournament-high 30 minutes. He also scored six points and grabbed six rebounds.
Russia won Group B with a 4-1 record. In the semifinal round they lost to Spain. Russia did not
play against the United States. "I've had a chance to see a little bit," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "If not mistaken he's the first big off the bench and he's getting a lot of playing time. It's great he's doing so well."
The six foot, eleven inch tall center had his best game of the Olympics in Russia's group play 82-80 loss to Australia, when he led the Russians with 18 points and six rebounds. He shot 80 percent from the field in that game.
Kaun played at Kansas from 2005-2008 and was a member of Kansas's 2008 national championship team.
For the tournament, Kaun averaged 18.7 minutes, 6.86 points and 3.43 rebounds per game.
Kaun is the first player from the Kansas men's basketball program to play in the Olympics since Danny Manning played on the United States' team in the 1988 summer games.
In addition to Kaun, Self has two other former players that competed in the games, Deron Williams, who competed for the United States, and Robert Archibald, who competed for Great Britain.

Dixon, Trotter, McCorory and Keshia Baker finished with the fastest time in the semifinals (3:22.09) by more than a second.
In the final of the 4x400 meter relay, Dixon and Baker were replaced by two of the fastest women in the world, Sandra Richards-Ross, gold medalist in the individual 400 meters, and Allyson Felix, gold medalist in the individual 200 meters.
Dixon said Felix is the one runner she idolized when she watched past Olympics and now Dixon won her first Olympic medal as a member of the same 4x400-meter team as her idol. Felix ran the third leg of the final in London, the same leg Dixon ran in the semifinals.
Now, Dixon enters her junior year at Kansas as the most decorated female track and field athlete in school history, having already won a 400-meter NCAA indoor championship and now an Olympic gold medal.

The 2012 Kansas football team stretches before its open practice Saturday morning at Memorial Stadium.
Fans get first peek at team
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousougian@kansan.com
The Kansas Jayhawks took to Memorial Stadium early Saturday morning, ready to practice on Fan Appreciation Day. Fans were in attendance and excited to see what the Jayhawks look like with Charlie Weis as the new head coach. Throughout scrimmage, fans could not help but like what they saw on the field out of the Jayhawks.
For every big play, Kansas fans cheered their team on, showing their excitement during practice as they wait for the season opener in three weeks against South Dakota State.
Freshman wide receiver and kick returner Tre Parmalee was a standout during Fan Appreciation Day. The biggest thing fans took away from Saturday's practice was Parmalee's speed and agility.
Parmalee caught a short pass from sophomore quarterback Turner Baty. Parmalee managed to turn the short reception into a touchdown play by dodging his defender and using his breakaway speed to reach the end zone. Parmalee said showed off his quickness again, putting fans on their feet with two kick return touchdowns during special teams practice.
"I're turned into a great football player," senior quarterback Dayne Crist said. "He's incredibly motivated as a freshman who is not scared to compete. He's coming in with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder and trying to make his case that he should be playing. That's great and we encourage that. He's done a great job so far and I've been impressed by him."
Following practice, Crist Iod his team to the 50-yard line, standing before the crowd in attendance and performed the Alma Mater in uniform with the fans. Shortly afterwards, the Jayhawks welcomed fans onto the field to sign autographs for 30 minutes.
While Crist continues to prepare, he gets his first big taste of the welcoming Kansas fans.
"It's exciting and it's flattering."
"The people here are so warm to everyone and receptive to myself and the team," he said. "It's great and it's encouraging. We play for them."

"He was very blunt, very straight forward," Quinn said. "A lot of us knew that was going to be his coaching style. As I started to get to know him, he started teaching the playbook. You understood how smart he was and how good of a teacher he was. He was able to walk into a room, take an NFL offense and teach it to guys who are in college."
Weis continues to keep a close relationship with some of his past.
Coach Charlie Weis watches open practice from the end zone Saturday morning at Memorial Stadium.
Although current Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn was never under Weis' guidance in the professional ranks, he played two seasons under Weis at Notre Dame before entering the NFL draft in 2007. Quinn was impressed with Weis during his first encounter and was pleased with his coaching abilities.

players, Quinn being one of them.
Quinn, who now considers his former coach a friend, wants to open up his schedule on Saturday and catch Weis and the Jayhawks.
With Sept. 1 around the corner, Weis wants his football team to come out strong. The game against South Dakota State will be his first game as a head coach since Nov. 28, 2008, and he has waited a long time for another shot at being a head coach.
"He is someone who is a friend now more than anything else," Quinn said. "I'm a big supporter of him and I'm a believer in him as a coach. If I have an opportunity to go out there, I'll definitely make sure to go visit him. If one of those days I'll be able to, I'll try to go see a game."
Weis' past success with players in the NFL and in college has earned him the trust of his players and the hope that it translates into improvement this season.
"I've been antty to get back to work," he said. "It's time to go to work."

GAME 2: KANSAS 83,

Young tied the score at 79 when he grabbed an offensive rebound off a missed shot by senior guard Eljiah Johnson and put it into the hoop.
For the second consecutive day, Young came up big for the Jayhawks in the closing minutes of the game.
White followed up his 10-point effort from the night before by leading all Kansas players with
16 points in the victory. Only two other Kansas players, Johnson and Withey, scored double-digits in both games. Withey's 10 points and 10 rebounds gave him his second double-double of the trip.
The Jayhawks grabbed a late, one-point lead 73-72 over AMW when Young dunked the ball with 22 seconds left, but Kansas couldn't hold on as AMW's Antoine Diot made two free throws with 6.1 seconds left to get the victory.
Young then slammed home a dunk on the jayhawks' next possession, a fast break caused by a Withey block with the assist going to senior guard Travis Releford. Six of Young's 12 points came in the home stretch as he helped Coach Bill Self win his 41st straight exhibition game and helped him improve to 27-0 coaching the Jayhawks.
Kansas entered the second half of the game with a two point lead, but AMW came out hot and the Jayhawks found themselves down 10 in the third quarter before they fought back to make it a game again.
Releford led the Jayhaws with 10 points, freshman guard Perry Ellis, sophomore guard Nadir Tharpe, and Withey each added eight points of their own in the contest.

Ellis led the Jayhawks with 16 points and 12 rebounds, but it was not enough, as a young Jayhawk squad could not keep up with the French professionals.
The Jayhawks played without four of their regulars as Self decided to sit a trio of seniors, Withey, Johnson, and Releford to give younger players more time on the court.
Freshman guard Ben McLemore also sat out the game because he is still recovering from an injury.
The Jayhawks had a 34-31 lead entering halftime, but a 10-2 run by AMW in the fourth quarter proved to be too much for the Jayhawks to overcome.
White continued to play well on the European tour; he scored 15 points in the final contest of the trip.

SOCCER PREVIEW

Soccer returns 10 starters; aim for title
NICOLE EVANS
nevans@kansan.com
With two-a-days finally in the past and an exciting schedule ahead of them, the Kansas women's soccer team is ready to focus on the season.
The team finished last season with a winning record of 11-9-1. This year, the players are ready to return to the field and prove to the community, their opponents, and themselves that they are a stronger team than last season, with their goal of winning the Big 12 conference in their sight.
Much of their strength lies in the fact that they're returning 10 starters, including the team's top six scorers from last season, three starting defenders and their starting goalkeeper.
"With so many returners this year, we should have more continuity, especially early on," head coach Mark Francis said.
Francis, returning for his 14th season as the brains behind the women's squad as head coach, took the team to its fifth NCAA tournament appearance last year. He hopes his returners will be willing to step up and take control, making quick decisions in difficult situations right out the gate heading into the season.
One returner expected to lead the team is senior midfielder/forward Whitney Berry, who's been a factor throughout her time as a jayhawk and has the second most career assists in Kansas history.
Also returning to their positions are ophomore midfielder Liana Salazar, junior midfielder Amy Grow, junior forward Caroline Kastor, and sophomore forwards Ingrid Vidal and Jamie Fletcher.
Although there is a strong veteran presence, some new faces have entered the line-up, all eager to unveil their talents on the field
including senior National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-American defender Cassie Dickerson, who transferred from Ohio State. The Jayhawks also added freshmen midfielers Monica Castro and Hanna Kallmalier, defender Kaley Smith, forward Courtney Dickerson and forward Ashley Williams.
In the Big 12 preseason coaches poll, Kansas was predicted to fin
ish fourth in the conference. The Jayhawks also received a first-place vote for the first time since they won the conference title in 2004.
The team trained hard during practice to prepare for this year, with their season opening on August 17 against UC Santa Barbara, and games against Northwestern and Georgia all in the first month of the season.

Both players impacted the game and helped their home country as they made it through three matches. Unfortunately, the
In the first match against South Korea, Salazar started and played all 96 minutes of the game.
Vidal also had the opportunity to start, totaling 211 minutes on the field after competing in two of the three fixtures. They not only impacted and helped Colombia's national team, but their experience will also aid the Jayhawks as the team prepares for its 18th season of varsity competition.
"Their international experience will help the team, especially in big games where there is more pressure," said Kansas coach Mark Francis. "The pressure doesn't faze those two, and that calmness will rub off on
their teammates."
Senior midfielder Sarah Robbins will be playing on a different world stage at the end of August, missing a couple weeks at the beginning of the season in order to partake in the Under-20 Women's World Cup in Japan.
The Montreal native will once again be a presence and threat for the Canadian team. She also played for Canada in the U-20 European tour this past June.
All three players will be able to bring their experiences and talents back the Jayhawk soccer complex, adding depth and unique perspectives to the team.

The 2009 first-team freshman All-America by the Football Writers Association will lead an older offensive line that consists of three seniors and two juniors.

McDougald is an athletically gifted safety that has the ability to be a playmaker in the defensive secondary. The senior showed off his ability to get to the ball with his interception he returned 52-yards against Missouri. He is also a presence in the run game, as he was second on the team with 80 tackles in 2011

Throughout the seven day trip overseas in Europe the Jayhawks managed to see some beautiful sights while also picking up some international competition experience. It was the first time Kansas came together since the losing the NCAA Championship game in April to the Kentucky Wildcats. Before leaving on the trip the Jayhawks were allowed 10 practices, a luxury only extended on the international trip every four years for the program. While in Switzerland and France, Kansas took on the Swiss national team and AMW France, a professional team. After sweeping the Swiss in two games, the Jayhawks dropped two games to AMW France. Take a look at these photos to see some of the action.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I think your approach is always trying to come back and work hard each and every day, like I have in the past."
Quarterback Matt Cassel on Chiefs health, Buffalo News
FACT
FACT OF THE DAY
Before the victory against the Arizona Cardinals 27-17, the Kansas City Chiefs first preseason victory was against the Green Bay Packers on September 2, 2010.
— NFL.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many interceptions did Matt Cassel have in 2010?
A:7
NFL.com
---
THE MORNING BREW Cassel could finally win over fan base
Matt Cassel has never really earned the approval of Kansas City Chiefs fans. Some fans continue to debate his ability to play quarterback. After throwing for 3,116 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2010, Cassel followed the season with a dismal performance. The eight-year veteran threw for 1,713 yards and 10 touchdowns, while also throwning nine interceptions in nine games of action.
This year could be different. In the first preseason game, the Chiefs defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-17. Cassel looked very sharp, completing five of his six passing attempts and throwing for a touchdown on the first drive.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
That opening drive is a good sign for Cassel, but now that brings expectations. There are no excuses for him to struggle.
The Chiefs and Cassel lost key members in the offense last year for the season. Runningback Jamaal Charles and
tight end Tony Moeaki both watched from the sidelines as the Chiefs offense struggled, finishing the season as the 27th best offense in the National Football League.
Now, those two players return and they join a slew of offensive threats. If wide receiver Dwayne Bowe signs his franchise tender, the receiving corps would be solid with Bowe, Jon Baldwin, Steve Breaston and Dexter McCluster.
The Chiefs added tight end Kevin Boss to go with the electric Moeaki. Also, the Chiefs added running back Peyton Hillis to complete the one-two punch with Charles. Even the offensive line improved with the signing of right offensive tackle Eric Winston to provide more protection for Cassel, who was sacred 22 times last season.
To complete the supporting cast of offensive weapons, the Chiefs hired offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. In Cassel's monster year in 2010, the coordinator was Charlie Weis, who worked with Cassel for many years and used the same offense in Kansas City that was used when they were both in New England.
Many quarterbacks can have the best talent in the world, but if they aren't in the right system, they tend to struggle. That's where the hiring of Daboll becomes important. Dabboll has a history with Cassel from New England and this should help Cassel feel comfortable within the offense.
KU
Cassel's time in Kansas City has been a roller coaster. He started slow in 2009, performed well in 2010 and fell flat in 2011. With all these additions and the offensive help around him, Cassel has no choice but to perform well. If he doesn't become a leader and control this team, the Chiefs could go in another direction at quarterback. Expectations are high in Kansas City and Cassel will be a big reason whether the Chiefs make or miss the playoffs.

VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball striving for postseason
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
As they began two a-day practice on August 7, members of the Kansas volleyball team wanted to focus on finishing matches strong in 2012.
Head coach Ray Bechard said his team often played well early in matches, but faltered later in the final sets. The Jayhawks lost 42 sets during conference play, but 16 of those were by three points or less.
PAGE 3D
"We played to a level that was worthy of being one of the top 25, 30 teams in the country," Bechard said. "Now we've got to extend that further in matches and finish matches that we didn't quite finish off last year."
In 2011, the Jayhawks started the season 11-1 and defeated then No.6 Minnesota. Kansas finished with a 15-14 record and were the highest ranked team in the RPI at No. 47 to not make the NCAA tournament.
The Jayhawks return five starters and libero Brianne Riley from that team. Senior middle blocker Taylor Tolefree said this is the most motivated team she's been on because they are mindful of last season's disappointment. She said the coaches have done a good job of bringing energy to the gym and using last season as a building block during two-a-days.
"I think a lot of it has to do with the coaches and your team, like the culture you create in the gym," Tolefree said.
The Big 12 coaches picked Kansas to finish sixth in their preseason poll, the layhawks' highest preseason rank since before the 2005 season. The Big 12 has nine teams competing in volleyball, including the additions of West Virginia and TCU, a team that won
25 matches last season.
"Obviously, wed like to improve on that finish for how that poll finishes up." Bechard said. "I think everybody in the conference feels like they're NCAA tournament-type level teams."
The Jayhawks lost two seniors from last year's team; setter Nicole Tate and outside hitter Allison Mayfield. Tate finished with 3,554 assists, fifth in school history, and her 10.18 career assists per set are second.
Mayfield set the Kansas single-season kills record last season with 462. Her 4.16 kills per set last year were second all-time in school history. Redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said the team cannot replace Mayfield immediately but that it will be a gradual process.
"I feel like the middles are taking on a larger responsibility as well as helping usher in the new people to slowly fill that void because she was a big part of our team," Jarmoc said.
Jarmoc, who like Mayfield was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection last season, was a unanimous selection to the preseason All-Big 12 team. Jarmoc was second in the Big 12 last season with 1.25 blocks per set. Offensively, her .311 attack percentage is second in school history.
Bechard said he thought Jarmoc deserved to be on the All-Big 12 team last year, but Jarmoc, who prides herself on her consistency, said she is more concerned with team results.
"I'm not looking at the end of the picture being like 'I really hope I get All-Big 12,'" jarmoc said. "It's 'I really want a good season.'"

Women's tennis hopes for success in 2012
TYLER CONOVER
tconover@kansan.com
The women's tennis team at Kansas is looking to get on the winning track in 2012-13, after finishing last season at 9-13 and 0-9 in conference play.
The Jayhawks add three new players and return seven from last year, adding to the high hopes head coach Amy Hall-Holt has for the team.
Maria Cardona and Anastasija Trubica are the two incoming freshmen and Haley Fournier transferred from Texas Tech last year, but did not play for the Jayhawks due to NCAA transfer rules.
"The addition of three new players is a huge change, it adds more depth, and it will make the team more competitive," Hall-Holt said.
on the court this year as TCU and West Virginia join the Big 12 Conference.
The new players are not the only difference the Jayhawks will see
The Big 12 is not considered an easy conference to play in, with four teams finishing in the top 25 last year. TCU comes to the conference having finished 18-6 last year and 7-0 in the Mountain West Conference.
"We have some new blood coming in which could make for some positive changes," Hall-Holt said. "We need the upperclassmen to step up, but I am excited for the challenges overall."
"I wouldn't say there is any added pressure to beat the new teams," Hall-Holt said. "We are going to come out and compete every game, all the teams in this league are good, we don't want to look past any team."
But Hall-Holt does not single out teams when preparing for the season.
The women's team at KU has had at least one player represented on the list since the Big 12 began in 1997.
While the light did not shine all that bright for the Jayhawks on the court last season, there was a bright spot off the court as Paulina Los, a sophomore, was named to the 2012 Academic All-Big 12 Women's Tennis First Team.
With a new season comes new opportunities and challenges. If the Jayhawks are able to mesh, maybe this season can be one to remember.
This season's Big 12 Championship will be held on April 25-28 in Norman, Okla.

Chris Gilbert takes a tee shot on a par three during the Kansas invitational in March.
The Kansas men's golf team enters the 2012 season with All-Academic team honors from the Golf Coaches Association of America and a new head coach, Jamie Bermel.
Bermel, the head coach at Colorado State since 1999, led his Rams squads to 18 tournament victories and two conference titles. Bermel coached two seasons at Iowa State and five seasons at Drake before making the move to Lawrence.
"Lawrence is a great college town," Bermel said. "I'm seeing it differently than a college kid because I have a family. I'm getting kids adjusted and signed up for school, but so far so good."
When the Jayhawks start practice next week, Bermel said he and
his staff are starting from scratch. They're focused on building a team and getting to know the players.
"Everything starts in practice," Bermel said. "You have to practice at a high level and expectations in

"If the hole sets up for us or the golf course sets up where we can be really aggressive, we're going to do it." Bermel said. "You just can't play this game scared."
Expect the Jayhawks to play a much more aggressive style of golf under Bermel. He wants players to take chances, but make smart decisions on the course.
The Jayhawks return many regulars from last year's lineup.
Three seniors, Chris Gilbert,
Alex Gutesha and Paul Harris, will

Sophomores Dylan McClure and David Auer also return after being first year letterwinners. Stan Gautier comes into the year as a transfer from Arizona State.

Jayhawks win exhibition opener against EIU
NICOLE EVANS
nevans@kansan.com
A warm, breezy Sunday welcomed the Kansas women's soccer team as they took the field and completely dominated in their first look of the season, winning an exhibition game against Eastern Illinois University 9-0.
With six different girls scoring and the defense holding strong, rarely allowing the Panthers into the box, the Jayhawks relentlessly controlled the game.
"It was a great start for us," senior defensive back Shelby Williamson said.
Ten minutes into the game, Kansas began to gain momentum, hounding the box. Junior forward Caroline Kastor was the first to
fluster the keeper enough to score, tapping the ball into the net in the 14th minute after senior forward Whitney Berry played it up to her. But she wouldn't be the last. Berry, a consistent striker, had a strong presence as she completed a hat trick, scored her first goal during the 38th minute, assisted by sophomore Kelsey Lyden. That put the Jayhawks up 2-0 at the half.
"I think the thing I was happiest about today was really our mentality," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "I think, we're up two nothing at the half and then we came out at the second half and scored right away. Sometimes when that happens the tendency is to put it on cruise mode, and I thought the girls, mentality wise, were really good at not doing that."
On the other end of the field, both senior Kat Liebetrau and freshman Kaitlyn Stroud each had one save, stopping both shots on goal out of the five the Panthers attempted in the game, earning Kansas a clean sheet.
Freshman forward Ashley Williams didn't allow the Panthers any breathing room during her debut, scoring right off the bat in the 46th minute. Kastor was a consistent play maker for the Jayhawks, getting her first of four assists on Williams's goal. Despite the Panthers search for a stop, making many substitutions, the offensive line for Kansas was unyielding. They scored again in the 50th and 53rd minutes with goals by Berry and Williams, both assisted by Kastor.

Senior forward Whitney Berry shoots during the first half of the game against Eastern Illinois. Berry scored three points during the match and Kansas defeated Eastern Illinois 9-0.
Kansas would utilize junior midfielder Amy Grow to score again in the 66th minute, with Kastor providing her final assist of the game to allow Grow to slam the ball into the back of the net. The team would score twice in the 70th minute. The first goal was chipped in by freshman midfielder Monica Castro after an impressive give-and-go between her and freshman midfielder Hanna
Kallmaier, Lyden would also score herself only thirty seconds later.
Never relenting, Berry would complete her hat trick by scoring her third, and the team's final, goal in the 83rd minute. She received a pass from senior forward Nicole Chrisopulous, who nutmegged the Panther defender that attempted to stand in her way.
The team hopes to use s*j~h an impressive display to help propel
thems as the beginning of the season goes underway.
Kansas will host UC Santa Barbara this Friday at 5 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex, officially starting off the regular season.

After completing one of the best seasons in Kansas women's basketball history, the Jayhawks found themselves somewhere they had not been in 12 years — the NCAA tournament.
The Jayhawks went to their third Sweet 16 in team history after beating Nebraska and Delaware before they fell short to the Tennessee Volunteers. The Jayhawks will need their experience from last year to help them exceed what they accomplished one year ago.
"We had a group of freshmen who'll be sophomores this year and had a very good finish," head coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We got some kids to get into the mix that we think can help us."

One key will be getting senior forward Carolyn Davis back after suffering an ACL injury. Davis averaged 16.9 points last season before she went down with the injury. As much as Davis is needed, so is senior guard Angel Goodrich.

assists per game with 7.4. Davis and Goodrich will need to be the senior leaders with the tough
schedule that is ahead.
Along with Goodrich and Davis, the Jayhawks bring back three others with starter experience in sophomore forward Chelsea Gardner, junior guard CeCe Harper and sophomore guard Natalie Knight.
The Jayhawks will play 21 contests against teams who made the postseasonlast year, including National Champion Baylor. Six of the remaining Big 12 made the tournament and also newly added West Virginia made it as well. Henrickson credits the conference to make sure they can make a run at the postseason for the second straight year.

"When you start in the postseason, it starts to look like our conference," Henrickson said. "Your playing the country's best and that's what we get every night."
Freshman guard Natalie Knight heads toward the basket in the NCAA Women's Regional Semifinals at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa. Kansas lost to Tennessee 84-73.
Henrickson is looking forward to the additions of West Virginia and TCU to the Big 12.
She said if a similarity was to be made, West Virginia reminds her of newly departed Texas A&M. She also said TCU should benefit greatly from being in the Big 12.

The schedule includes some tough road non-conference games versus Creighton, California and Arkansas, all of which made the NCAA Tournament last year. Despite the tough road games,
the lajayhaws will have 15 games inside Allen Fieldhouse.
The key to reliving the success of last season will be consistency.
"The consistency that you have to play with and how well you have
to play," Henrickson said. "We have to make strides and improve on what we did last year."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Rowing team looks for more consistency
CHRIS SCHAEDER
cschaeder@kansan.com
The goal for the Kansas Rowing team is to avoid the late-season struggles that plagued them after a great start to last year.
Head coach Rob Catloth said that these late season struggles were a result of the team's youth.
"We had a young team last year, predominantly a freshmen and sophomore squad and I think early in the season they had good speed and times," Catloth said. "As the season went on they ran out of gas or had a hard time maintaining where they were and that happens when you're young."
44 of the 65 women on the team last spring were freshmen and sophomores, which increases the importance of gaining valuable rowing experience.
With only five seniors graduating from last season's team, the
hope is that the team will grow and mature in order to maintain their consistency throughout the season and avoid last season's falloff.
Cathloth signed nine student-athletes to national letters of intent in the spring. This list included: Martha Belot, Olivia Cowan, Kelsey Dick, Maggie Duncan, Gabrielle Hacker, Brieannon Mingus, Jessica Scheer and Tessa Scott.
There were also three student-athletes signed during the fall period: Breeona Foster, Casey Kelly and Briana Piña.
The Kansas rowing team had another type of addition in the offseason with the hiring of Carrie Callen, a Kansas graduate who served as the graduate assistant and assistant coach for the University of Iowa Hawkeyes from 2006-2012.
"As our new recruiting coordinator she's been doing a really good job recruiting," Catloth said, "having the experience of being at a Big Ten school for six years should really help our team."
Sophomore Erin Brogan looks to be one of the standouts this season after an impressive freshmen season where she was in the team's top boat for much of the season. This summer Brogan was invited to camp put on by U.S. Rowing for the top 20 freshmen rowers in the country.
The Kansas Cup, which is the annual competition with Kansas State in the spring, is one of the most important of the season and one the Jayhawks look to be more competitive in after being swept last season. The team also looks to improve in the Big 12 Championships after winning a race in the competition.

The Kansas swimming & diving team hopes to bounce back from a disappointing 2011-2012 season. Last year was particularly packed with several swimmers preparing for the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials.
the collegiate season.
Head coach Clark Campbell said that last season was stressful because the team had to focus on a grueling collegiate season in the Big 12 Conference along with the aforementioned Olympic Trials.
"Last year wasn't one of our better years," Campbell said. "We were all over the place because normally, you want to have a really good focus on the collegiate season, but because it's an Olympic year and we had another thing on our mind."
According to coach Campbell, the goal for this year's team is to focus on the task at hand, which is
The team only loses four seniors from last season and a new, strong senior class of eight headlined by captains Rebecca Swank, Alyssa Rudman and Brooke Brull will lead this year's team.
Campbell also said he had a dynamic freshmen class coming in this year that has several impactful newcomers.
This incoming freshmen class includes three swimmers and one diver.
Two of the incoming freshmen swimmers, Hailey Molden and Chelsis Miller, swam at the 2012 U.S. Swimming Olympic Trials.
Bryce Hinde, another incoming freshmen swimmer, made her Olympic Trial cut in late July.
Meredith Brownell was the lone diving signee from the incoming 2012-2013 class and is expected to be an immediate contributor for Kansas.
"She is probably our top freshmen diver coming in and she has national standards," Campbell said.
This small, talented class of incoming freshmen will be counted upon to help replace the four departed seniors from last season.
Coach Campbell believes that the freshmen and the senior class will help the team improve from last season
"We have a big senior class this year, with the eight of them,"
Campbell said, "We don't lose a heck of a lot. It's going to be an exciting year for us, we have a lot of potential."
Some of the highlights on the Jayhawks schedule this season include a training trip to Hawaii over winter break, a meet against the University of Minnesota in Lawrence and a meet against Big 12 newcomer TCU.

After all of the drama London games finish big
The Great Fireworks Show at the Rio Olympic Stadium
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fireworks explode during the Closing Ceremony at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Monday in London. The United States won the gold and overall medal count
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — And now, on to Rio!
London brought the curtain down on a hugely entertaining Olympics with a sensational rock 'n roll nostalgia tour of a closing ceremony that thrilled the London night with top-of-the-chart classics, supermodels and psychedelic mayhem.
After a glorious two weeks of never-to-be-forgotten moments that left Britain exhausted, exhilarated and deeply proud, organizers handed the baton to 2016 host Brazil, which must now take up the Herculean task of matching them.
Judging by the swaying samba of Marisa Monte and the sexy baritone of Seu Jorge in Brazil's eight-minute musical and visual postcard for the 2016 games, they look to be off to a foot-stopping start.
But Sunday was all about Britain.
The three-hour extravaganza offered a sensory blast including rock 'n' roll rickshaws, dustbin percussionists, an exploding yellow car and a marching band in red tunics and bearskin hats.
The Spice Girls staged a show-stopping reunion, and Monty Python's Eric Idle sauntered through "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" — accompanied by Roman centurions, Scottish bagpipers and a human cannonball.
It all made for a madcap mashup that had 80,000 fans at Olympic Stadium stomping, cheering and singing along. Organizers estimated 300 million or more were watching around the world.
What a way to end a games far more successful than many Londoners expected. Early security glitches were conquered with the help of the military, road traffic was manageable and the wettest early summer on record gave way to mostly sunny skies. More importantly, British athletes overachieved.
It all came with a price tag of $14 billion — three times the original estimate. But nobody wanted to spoil the fun with such mundane concerns, at least not on this night.
"We lit the flame, and we lit up
the world," said London organizing committee chief Sebastian Coe. "When our time came, Britain, we did it right."
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge declared the Olympics over with praise for the athletes.
"Through your commitment to fair play, your respect for opponents, and your grace in defeat as well as in victory, you have earned the right to be called Olympians," he said, adding: "These were happy and glorious games."
But the night was about splash more than speeches.
Festive and fast-moving, the ceremony opened with pop bands Madness, Pet Shop Boys and One Direction, a shout-out to Winston Churchill and a tribute to the Union Jack — the Olympic Stadium floor arranged to resemble the British flag.
Monochrome recreations of London landmarks were covered
in newsprint, from Big Ben's clock tower and Tower Bridge to the London Eye ferris wheel and the chubby high-rise known as the Gherkin.
Street percussion group Stomp built the noise into a frenzy, and dancers brandished brooms, in a nod to the spontaneous popular movement to clean up London after riots shook neighborhoods not far from Olympic Stadium just a year ago.
Liam Gallagher performed "Wonderwall," a 1990s hit by his former band, Oasis, Muse rocked the house with the hard-egged Olympic anthem "Survival," and Queen guitarist Brian May was joined by singer Jessie J for a crowd-pleasing "We Will Rock You."
the headline performers were each paid a pound, a little more than $1.50.
The night ended with the extinguishing of the multi-petaled Olympic cauldron and a supercharged rendition of "My Generation" and other classics by The Who that had the crowd dancing in the aisles. Confetti rained down, and fireworks lit up the sky.
"I was a bit worried we wouldn't be able to live up to it. But walking around here, it's just unbelievable."
Phil Akrill, British citizen
Prince William's wife, Kate, and Prince Harry took seats next to Rogge. They sang along to "God Save the Queen." There was no sign of the queen herself, who made a memorable mock parachute entrance at the July 27 opening ceremony.
Following Olympic tradition, the 10,800 athletes of the London Games marched in as one rather than with their nations, symbolizing the harmony and friendship
inspired by the games
As the crowd cheered their heroes and flashbulbs rippled through the stadium, the Olympians cheered back, some carrying national flags, others snapping photographs with smartphones and cameras.
The United States edged China in both the gold medal and total medal standings, eclipsing its best
They held hands, embraced and carried each other on their shoulders, finally forming a human mosh pit on the field.
The ceremony had something for everyone, from tween girls to 1960s hippies. The face of John Lennon appeared on the stadium floor, assembled by 101 fragments of sculpture, and just as quickly gave way to George Michael, Fatboy Slim and Annie Lennox.
Britons, who had fretted for weeks that the games would become a fiasco, were buoyed by their biggest medal haul since 1908 — 29 golds and 65 medals in all.
performance at an Olympics on foreign soil after the Dream Team narrowly held off Spain in basketball for the country's 46th gold.
While the games may have lacked some of the grandeur of the Beijing Olympics in 2008, there were more than a few unforgettable moments.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt became an Olympic legend by repeating as champion in both the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints. Michael Phelps ended his long career as the most decorated Olympian in history.
British distance runner Mo Farah became a national treasure by sweeping the 5,000- and 10,000-meter races, and favorite daughter Jessica Ennis became a global phenomenon with her victory in the heptathlon.
Female athletes took center stage in a way they never had before. American gymnast Gabby Douglas soared to gold and the U.S. soccer team made a dramatic march to the championship. Packed houses turned out to watch the new event of women's boxing. And women competed for Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei for the first time.
And then there was Oscar Pistorius, the double-ampurete from South Africa running on carbon-fiber blades, who didn't win a medal but nonetheless left a champion. And spinner Manteo Mitchell, who completed his leg of the 4x400 relay semifinal on a broken leg, allowing his team to qualify and win silver.
Britons seemed exhausted and exhilarated after two glorious weeks in the world's spotlight, just months after the country celebrated the queen's 60th year on the throne with a magnificent pageant and street parties.
Some at Olympic Park acknowledged happy surprise that not much had gone wrong, and so much had gone right.
"I was a bit worried we wouldn't be able to live up to it," said Phil Akrill of Chichester. "But walking around here it's just unbelievable."
Even non-Brits were proud of their adopted homeland.
"It's just been a really nice thing to see," said Anja Ekelof, a Swede who now lives in Scotland. "The whole country has come together."

Q&A with Nick Combs
Nick Combs, keyboardist for The Late Night Callers, was born and raised in Shawnee and went to college at what is now the University of Central Missouri. The local musician, who lists The Replay Lounge patio and Liberty Hall as his favorite Lawrence venues, talked about his musical inspiration and learning to play a new instrument after playing drums for most of his life.
Q: What inspired you to go from drums to keyboards?
A: At the time, I was just kind of burned out on drums and I'd been playing drums for 20 years. I was inspired to learn a new instrument and approach it from a different angle. It wasn't the greatest thing that I've done
THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 2012
musically in forever. It gives me a new perspective on music. I'm definitely still a drummer at heart - it's what I feel connected to the most. Keyboards open up a whole new world in a lot of ways.
Q: What bands influence your own music?
A: At the moment, bands that are really super influencing me are bands like Pineapple Thief, Dredge, People in Planes, Hours... Jimmy Echo is fantastic. I've been listening to a lot of Mute Mouth lately, too. A band we played with a few weeks back at the El Paso called the Royalty are really great. They have a great vintage, new wave thing going on. The Tantrums, love them for their Motown influence that they've got going on. I'll listen to a little of everything.
See the band on October 12th at the Replay Lounge.

Nick Combs dances on stage to the rhythm of the drum beat, pounding his keyboard and looking out into the crowd of people wearing 20s style clothing in a Kansas City. Mo. bar.
Combs is the keyboardist for The Late Night Callers, a "noir-a-go-go" band that originated in Lawrence two years ago. Now, the Late Night Callers perform mostly in Kansas City, but the band is returning to Lawrence Oct. 12 for a masquerade party at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.
Combs describes the band's music as "noir-a-go-go," a vintage, dark, seductive sound in minor keys. Krysztof Nemeth, guitarist and founder of The Late Night Callers, set the tone for the band. He gained inspiration from his love of old, black and white noir films. He moved to Lawrence from Seattle and recruited Julie Berndsen to sing lead vocals for the band in 2010 after finding out that her musical tastes fell in line with his.
Berndsen grew up in Hutchinson and has been singing seriously since sixth grade. She said she's been in bands for most of her life, and would sneak into bars when she was in high school for gigs.
"The band I'm in now, it's definitely more adult, more noir, more dark," Berndsen said. "I pull a lot of my influence from Jazz. I love old vintage movies, clothes and anything surrounding that."
The Late Night Callers played at the Noir City Film Festival in San Francisco last year. They also recently played a gig in St. Louis, and have three shows in Kansas City this September. Combs hopes to continue playing big shows and eventually become a full-time band.
"We've all been in bands our entire lives," Combs said. "We're by no means an old band, but we're in our later 20s and have the experience. We're past the point of wanting to hop in a van and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for
weeks."
Combs said The Late Night Callers haven't broken into the college scene, but he's happy about the crowd that does show up. Some don the style of clothing that the band has worn to all of their live shows and has been recognized for.
"It's something we started doing because its what the music dictated to us. It's growing into its own thing now," Combs said. "We'll have people that look like they're straight out of the Roaring Twenties come."

Exhibit blends art, music and social media
What is the best way to travel and why?

Sounding Circle

Art takes a high-tech turn in a new exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art.
sounding Circle, a project created by 2012 graduate Jason Charney, is far from the traditional art of the past. This technological, interactive, musical artwork is inspired by and made for the social media era.
When entering the exhibit, the participant walks through a heavy black current into a dimly lit room. The area is barren except for speakers, a screen and a microphone attached to two pedals on the floor.
"You are basically standing in the middle of a dark room sounded by sound," said Celka Straughn, the museum's director of academic programs.
Visitors also become participants, lending their voice to help mold the project into a song of voices. Questions on a variety of different topics appear on the screen.
By pushing down the pedal, the visitor records their answer, and is instantly rewarded with the reverberation of their own response turned into song. The visitor listens, as others responses are added in with their own.

"I like that it challenges the idea of art being visual," Straughn said. "It puts more of your senses to use. Participating makes you part of a musical performance."
A project like this is not only inspired by our interactions with technology, but also completely
reliant on it, she said.
Charney found his muse in what has become an everyday occurrence for many.
"The inspiration for this piece comes from the experience that our generation shares in growing up with social media," He said. "When we make status updates and tweets, we broadcast little bits of ourselves as text out into the world, where anyone can see them. I think it's a very different experience having to actually say these bits of information out loud."
Charney, who studied music composition and theory, has been working on perfecting the computer program the exhibit runs off of since 2011.
it creates the background sound and has several different effects it applies to the incoming recordings," he said. "Much of the voice processing involved in Sounding Circle is controlled by random elements, so every part of the sound is different with every user."
While working on the project, Charney said it was a challenge for him to program. He spent the summer reprogramming the original from 2011 making it more complex and smoother looking and trying to make it run as seamlessly as possible.
Straughn is excited that participants can submit their own prompts via social networking. Using the hash tag #soundingcir-
cle, users can suggest questions and prompt ideas to be used with the project.
"I hope that the experience created gets people to look inside themselves, or if they don't participate, listen to the voices of the previous users who have entered its space and wonder who they are," he said.
However one chooses to participate and enjoy the art, Charney said there is something they can learn.
The exhibit runs through Sept. 30 in the INcube Studio.

Club kickstarts movie-making
EMILY BROWN
ebrown@kansan.com
The audience watches as a helicopter hovers in the air. A missile flies, hitting the house below. The house explodes.
A man lies in the front lawn, surrounded by smoke.
Behind the scenes, the helicopter is just a toy in front of a green screen. The missile was created with the help of a lens flare and the filmmaking program Adobe After Effects. The house, a doll house filled with fireworks. The smoke, just a fog machine.
This particular project created by KU Filmworks, a student organization, cost less than $100.
"To give an illusion that this was an actual action film, they used a whole bunch of stuff that we have available." Filmworks president Ian Weaver said. "It's just a lot of little tricks here and there to make it look like its a much bigger film. They did it with a bare minimum budget, and they still made it look pretty cool."
Filmworks was created in 1999 for students who were interested in video production and filmmaking. The club works on numerous video projects throughout the year, including music videos for local artists.
Most of their projects are completed on little or no budgets.
"I think we kind of push the zero dollar budget because it forces us to be a little more creative about how we approach the ideas," said Brandon Freese, the organization's vice president. "If a script calls for a building blowing up, we obviously can't blow up a real building. So, we have to find other ways of going about that."
Weaver said the cost of a film depends upon the intricacy of the script. The members of the club try to choose scripts that don't require many special or visual effects.
"We try to go with scripts that are more character pieces," Freese said.
Some club members also use websites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo to help raise money for film production costs. Filmmakers post their projects online, and anyone can pledge money to the project.
Associate film professor and independent filmmaker Kevin Willmott used the site Kickstarter to raise money for his upcoming film "Jayhawkers", a story highlighting Kansas basketball's history and its connection to the civil rights era.
Willmott said he had heard quite a bit about the site in the independent film circle and decided the "jayhawkers" project was a good opportunity to try it out.
The goal for the film was $50,000.
That exact amount of money had to donated within a month, or the film would receive none of the money raised on the site.
The production team advertised their Kickstarter site through social media and word of mouth.
"With this film, connected with KU basketball, we tried to connect with people who are big supporters of the team," Willmott said. "People who are not just film people but are sports people, and who would really want to see this film made."
Willmott said while he recommends Kickstarter to students wanting to raise funds for their films, the site isn't something to use haphazardly.
"I mean, we've worked on this project for a long time," he said. "So, we were very well prepared to get on Kickstarter and to use it to our advantage. Even then, it was difficult to pull it off. You've got to really sell your project and make people believe that this is a good investment. The more you can show your passion, the more you can show your dedication and the
preparation you've given to your project, the more people believe.

Wilt Chamberlain
KU basketball player stars as Chamberlain
Kevin Willmott's film "Jayhawkers" tells the story of the recruitment and college career of famed KU basketball player Wilt Chamberlain and his relationship with legendary coach Forrest "Phog" Allen. As an African-American player in a segregated community, Chamberlian's faced challenges in Lawrence and college basketball that mirrored civil rights issues all over the country.
The film stars junior basketball player Justin Wesley as Wilt Chamberlain and Nathan Peterson, a senior from Topeka, as a young Phog Allen, Kip Niven, a graduate of the University, will portray an older Flog Allen, and Blake Robbins will play Dick Harp, the coach who takes over for Allen. Robbins spent time in Lawrence during the shooting of "The Sublimie and Beautiful," a film he wrote, directed and starred in.
Filming was scheduled to begin on Aug. 15, according to KU Athletics.

Renovation project turns jail into studios, galleries
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — For Hugo Navarro,
the 5-by-9 foot jail cell that serves
as his studio in southwest Detroit
is an admitted creepy place to
immerse himself in his work.
Unlike jailhouse artists who find creative inspiration behind bars, however, the 56-year-old is there by choice.
He paints at 555 Nonprofit Gallery and Studios, a decade-old arts organization that this year moved into its new home in the Detroit Police Department's former Third Precinct station.
"I didn't really have anything in mind before going to my jail
The city closed the building in 2005 as part of a department-wide reorganization, and the former lobby where residents once could walk in to report crimes now is an airy gallery.
Detectives' offices now serve as classroom and studio space. And potentially claustrophobic cells — bars still on their doors — are fostering creativity.
cell,” said Navarro, whose colorful paintings of Detroit's shuttered Michigan Central Depot and fires gutting homes adorn some of the cells near where he's worked for the past few months. “I just let myself go and let my inside do the work.”
The Third Precinct renovation is among a handful of projects nationwide converting old police facilities, including one in Chicago that is becoming live theater venues and one in Philadelphia that is being converted into homes.
555 is leasing its new home from Southwest Housing Solutions, a nonprofit community developer that bought the former precinct in 2009 and spent about $2 million on the project.
Garage space at the building houses Detroit Farm and Garden, a gardening, farming and landscape supply store.
"It's exactly what we wanted it to be," said Tim Thorland, the developer's executive director. "The great thing about the gallery space is that it's a continuous work
in progress."
In Philadelphia, the former 26th Precinct Police Station, which sat vacant for years, is being renovated with the upper floors as apartments, said architect Victor Barr Jr. of VLBIR Architects Inc.
In Chicago, the Griffin Theatre Company acquired a former police station and plans to start construction in September on the first of two live performance spaces.
The building's large cells are too massive to remove, said William Massolia, a founding member, so they'll be used to house a green room, dressing rooms and a box office.
"We're going to be using some of what was there and not disguise the fact that it was a police station and a jail." Massolia said.
At 555, an official opening event is planned for Sept. 14 and the building is a work in progress.
In years to come, part of a second floor that once was home to a locker room used by officers could become a dance studio.

New release date for 'Gatsby'
Y G
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Luhrman
LOS ANGELES _ Long buzzed about as an Academy Award contender, Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" won't be competing for any Oscars this season, as Warner Bros. is moving the F. Scott Fitzgerald adaptation's release date from Christmas 2012 to summer 2013.
It's the second high-profile film whose release the studio has
changed in recent weeks. In wake of the movie-theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., Warner Bros. moved its crime drama "Gangster Squad" from Sept. 7 to next January in order to reshoot a scene involving a gunfight inside a cinema.
Warner Bros. said it was moving "Gatsby" from Christmas Day to an unspecified date next summer in order to maximize the film's commercial prospects. The 3-D live action movie stars Tobey
Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan.
"We think moviegoers of all ages are going to embrace it, and it makes sense to ensure this unique film reaches the largest audience possible," Dan Fellman, the studio's president of domestic distribution, said in a statement.
But Luhrmann is a perfectionist filmmaker who often pushes his deadlines to the last possible moment.

LOS ANGELES- loss Whedon doesn't have to worry about finding work for the next three years. Marvel Studios has locked up the "Avengers" writer-director through the summer of 2015.

On the heels of the news that Whedon will make the sequel to Disney and Marvel's "The Avengers" and develop a Marvel-based television series for Disney's ABC network, Marvel said it has made a long-term pact with the 48-year-old "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator.
"Joss Whedon has signed an exclusive deal with Marvel Studios for film and television through the end of June 2015." Marvel said in a statement Tuesday.
"As part of that deal, Whedon will write and direct Marvel's 'Avengers 2' as well as help develop a new live action series for Marvel Television at ABC. He will also contribute creatively to the next phase of Marvel's cinematic universe."
The first "Avengers" movie,

Whedon's adaptation of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" starring Nathan

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
AUGUST 16
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 4
The unexpected occurs. You discover just how much someone cares, as this person spontaneously decides to express his or her affection. The end result will be that you are beaming from ear to ear. Your attitude is contagious. Tonight: Be authentic.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 3
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 4
Much goes on at home. Please note the many thoughts that race through your head. Be sure to do some comparison shopping before purchasing a big item. You have the tendency, and are in just the right mood, to go way overboard. Tonight: Order in.
Emphasize what you want from a friendship. Ask for the support you want in a meeting. Clearly, others have difficulty anticipating what you want. Learn to express yourself more often and assume you have a receptive audience. Tonight: Where the action is.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is an 5
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 3
You tend to say the right words at the right time. A meeting with a group of friends proves to be a very exciting experience, as someone seems to be bouncing off the walls. Know that regardless of what happens, you will land on your feet if you stay open. Tonight: All smiles.
Take a stand quickly, and refuse to sell yourself short. You know what you want and in which direction you would like to head. In order to accomplish more of what you want, you will need to take the lead. Tonight: A must appearance.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
Today is a 4
Look past the obvious when relating to a loved one or a child. What did he or she not say? This person does not intend to be secretive, but it is just the way he or she is. Try not to define this behavior; instead, be open and authentic. Tonight: Let music be a dominant theme.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 4
You might decide to go off and buy this and that. You could have a great time, but the results could be problematic. Someone you look up to could be difficult right now, as he or she is so unpredictable. Tonight: Make your favorite meal.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 4
Relate to someone directly, be it about business, networking or a personal matter. You will be surprised by what you hear, so much so that you might opt to head in a different direction. Give yourself some time to respond. Tonight: Make it cozy.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22)
Today is an 4
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is an 5
You might hear news that results in hurt feelings. The person delivering this news does not intend the message to have that outcome. In fact, he or she is trying to demonstrate his or her caring and support. A meeting proves to be unusually supportive. Tonight: Friends are full of fun and energy.
Others might see your knee-jerk action as being off-the-wall. You could be taken aback by their reactions, since you know there is logic behind them. Let your creativity emerge. As a result, solutions will be found. Tonight: Let a love affair come back into your life.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 3
You might want to share more of yourself. The element of timing plays a role, and most likely, it is not clear when the best time is. A partner or friend surprises you with his or her actions. Go with the flow, and know that everything could change quickly. Tonight; Not to be found.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 4
You seem set on doing a job a certain way. You will resist approaching it in any other manner. Recognize that others could distance themselves because of your attitude. Stay centered and do your thing. A family member still surprises you! Tonight: Head home.
AUGUST 17
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 4
Your spunk comes out no matter what you do right now. Your humor and grace appeal to many people; however, use these traits with care. If you're out and about, complete errands first in order to have some free time later. Tonight: Out with pals you see often.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 3
Your focus is on home and perhaps an emotional or financial investment in a property or domestic matter. You might be too serious as you look at the pluses and minuses of this situation. Lighten up by choosing a fun activity or spending time with a child. Tonight: Get loosened up for the weekend.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is an 4
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 4
Keep communication flowing, and know what is necessary to accomplish what you want. It would be easier with more support. A child or particular situation rains on your parade and throws some heaviness into the moment. Tonight: Home is where the action is.
Balance your budget before you make any decisions to spend more money. You need to tame the wild-spending child within that sometimes comes out. A late-afternoon discussion brings new information forward. Tonight: Let the discussion continue.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is an 4
Make the extra effort to understand an unhappy friend or somber situation. You can say everything you want, but you cannot change the prevailing mood. At this point, resolutions have momentum. Do not hesitate to verbalize more of your desires. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 3
Enjoy a short period of being in the background, where you can ponder and observe what is happening. Before you know it, you must take a proactive stance. Make sure that you are very clear as to the ramifications of heading in a certain direction. Tonight: The world is your oyster ... finally.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 4
You get through a situation quickly with certainty and direction. You also have style and determination. Just the same, you see a matter differently from and perhaps even a bit more negatively than others. Open up to new possibilities. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 4
Others bend -- with some difficulty -- to your way of thinking. You might feel some resistance from someone, but ultimately this, too, will pass. Bring others together toward the end of the day. You just might be able to celebrate. Tonight: The more, the merrier.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
Today is a 4
An overview helps you gain understanding. You might not be ready to take the lead just yet. Realize the opportunities that lie in the near future. Make a call to someone at a distance to discuss plans for the short term. Tonight: You might be more visible than you would like.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 4
Reach out for someone you care about, and do more listening. You could be challenged by someone who considers him- or herself to be your supervisor. Sometimes you are overwhelmed by all the demands that surround you. Tonight: Loosen up to good music.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 4
Others come toward you. Clearly they know what they want and will ask you for exactly that. Honor who you are, and ask for more feedback. One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. Tonight: Go for togetherness.
You might be overwhelmed by what remains on your plate. Dig in, and get as much done as possible. You will show the results of a hard day's work, and you will be even happier to greet the evening. Tonight: Go with someone's suggestion.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 4
AUGUST 18
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 4
Everyone has limits, including you. The tendency to test them can be rewarding, yet frustrating at the same time. Return calls before formalizing any plans. Go with something spontaneous, and be open to trying something new. Tonight: Honor your energy level.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 4
You seem to be naturally inventive and creative. Realize what is going on with a friend or family member. He or she might be intimidated by the experience. You could assume a risk that you normally don't have to, and perhaps you won't even care. Tonight: Paint the town red.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is an 3
Plans you made during the week might not be suitable any longer. You simply need a change of pace. Many of you may want to stay at home or be close to home. Whether you're deep into a project or need extra rest, it makes little difference. Tonight: A friend surprises you.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 4
Visit with a friend you rarely have time for. It is as if you were never apart once you meet up with each other. Screen calls if you want to stay free. A boss, relative or older friend could be reaching out for you. Tonight: Hang wherever and with whomever you want.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is an 3
Be sensitive to your needs and to how far you can extend yourself and still feel comfortable. You might be planning a trip, but be aware of the cost -- it might be a little too much to absorb. In the long run, you just want to relax. Tonight: A little moderation goes a long way.
Your actions are in tune with those around you. An older relative or friend expresses his or her delight at spending some time with you in the near future. A loved one surprises you with his or her reaction. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 4
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 3
You might not be in the mood to socialize and be the normally charming Libra. Rather than impose your company on someone, change plans accordingly. There is nothing wrong with needing some personal time. Tonight: Do your thing.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

AMERICAN GRAFFIT
PAGE 11E
ALEXANDRE RICO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this July 27 photo, graffiti artist Angel "LA II" Ortiz, 45, poses with one of his creations in a schoolyard on New York's Lower East Side. A number of New York's graffiti artists of the 1970s and '80s still have the urge to tag.
TOO OLD TO TAG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — In torn jeans and saddled with a black backpack, Andrew Witten glances up and down the street for police. The 51-year-old then whips out a black marker scribbles "Zephyr" on a wall covered with movie posters. He admires his work for a few seconds before his tattooed arms reach for his daughter, holding her hand as he briskly walks away.
Witten and a generation of urban latchkey kids who spray-painted their initials all over Manhattan in the 1970s and '80s and landed in the city's street art scene are coming of age — middle age, that is.
And like Witten, a 51-year-old single father, some street artists considered now to be graffiti elders are having trouble putting away their spray paint cans. As Witten says, "I'm ready. I could go tonight."
"I'm chronologically old to be out there doing it," Witten admits with a playful smile. "I'm sure I can't run quite as fast."
Witten built a reputation as a master at spray-painting extravagant graffiti pieces on freight and subway trains, called train-bombing, in the neighborhoods where he now teaches his 6-year-old daughter, Lulu, to skateboard. For
him, spray-painting other people's property with his nickname, or tag, is almost an addiction, and danger is part of the drug. Crawling under barbed wire, ducking from police officers, even being shot at is all part of the experience.
But with an artist's heart, Witten describes painting graffiti in more poetic terms. He calls it a freeing experience, in which the silence of night gives way to the hiss and mist of the spray rising into the moonlight.
Angel Ortiz recently served 41 days of a 50-day sentence in the Rikers Island jail system after being busted for spraying his tag, LA Roc, on a billboard in March of last year. For decades, Ortiz, 45, has been known on Manhattan's Lower East Side as LA II. A traumatic loss of a girlfriend brought him out of a 14-year hiatus from graffiti writing. He has since been caught three times spraying his tag on property, each time while walking a friend's dog.
"Everywhere that dog stopped to pee I would write my name," Ortiz says. "The streets were like my canvases. I just started writing my name everywhere."
spray can or marker in his pocket to satisfy that incessant itch to tag mailboxes, signs and fire hydrants.
When a pair of police officers smelled the fresh paint and nabbed Ortiz, they asked whether he saw himself as too old to be doing graffiti. But even now, Ortiz keeps a
Ortiz often recalls those golden days in the '80s, when graffiti became the focal point of the counterculture art world and he partied with Madonna and Andy Warhol. He still lives in the neighborhood where a young art school dropout named Keith Haring showed up at his doorstep in cutoff jeans and glasses asking about his tagging style.
Graffiti documentarian and photographer Henry Chalfant looks back at Ortiz's heyday as a revolutionary time period in street art.
"The culture is gone really," Chalfant says. "The culture that was alive in the '70s and '80s doesn't exist anymore."
Artists gleaned the raw style off street kids, while tunnel-hopping graffiti writers honed in on their artistic abilities to be commercially successful. It was a time when graffiti tagging exploded into battles over the artists who could produce the most visually edgy, elaborate murals in the most dangerous, inaccessible places without getting caught.
Chalfant says change came when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority took over the New York regional train system and manufacturers started to build paint-
resistant trains. Police also aggressively cracked down on graffiti in the '80s and '90s.
"The whole scene has evolved to something beyond just writing your name," Chalfant points out. "Artists are making comments about culture, about society. It's a personal vision of an artist."
Ortiz now spends his days painting, pedelling his art to galleries and buyers. He never quite rose to the level of fame as some of his graffiti counterparts, and the appetite for graffiti art has diminished in the U.S. art world.
Long past Haring's death, Ortiz claims he rarely gets credit for the collaborations he and Haring did together, although his LA Roc tags are displayed on numerous Haring pieces.
Witten's brush with fame now often comes with his freelance art writing and his sporadic visits to his daughter's school, where he teaches her classmates how to draw. Lulu knows her father draws "crazy art," a term she picked up from seeing graffiti on trains.
From time to time, the thought of spending a few hours in a deserted freight yard still crosses Witten's mind. Taking into consideration his daughter, he won't admit if he still train-bombs. But he won't say he doesn't, either.

Feminist punk band on trial for anti-Putin church protest
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — A Moscow judge wrapped up the trial of three feminist punk rockers last week and said she would issue a verdict in the controversial case next week.
Prosecutors have called for three-year prison sentences for the Pussy Riot band members, who have already been in custody for five months after giving an impromptu performance in Moscow's main cathedral to call for an end to Vladimir Putin's rule.
The three women — Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 23; Maria Alekhina, 24; and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29 — high-kicked and danced as they belted out their "punk prayer" in Christ the Savior Cathedral in February.
Tolokonnikova, dressed in jeans and a blue T-shirt, said in a trembling voice, looking at prosecutors: "We have more freedom than all those people from the prosecution in front of me — because we can say what we want."
They were charged with hoo-liganism motivated by religious hatred, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years.
Their case has sharply divided Russia. Some believers felt offended, while other Russians have been angered by what they see as repressive treatment for the expression of
"With every day an increasing number of people start to realize that if the political machine turned against girls who performed in the Christ the Savior Cathedral for 40 seconds, this means only that this political system is scared of the truth and the sincerity that we bring." Tolokonnikova said.
The trial has been seen as part of the widening government crackdown on dissent that followed Putin's election in March to a third presidential term.
political beliefs. Orthodox leaders have ignored calls to pardon the women and urge the court to dismiss the case.
Defense lawyer Nikolai Polozov said Wednesday that Putin's remarks indicated that "he virtually has found them guilty already and only meant to say that the court's punishment shouldn't be too harsh."
Violetta Volkova, another defense lawyer, said an acquittal "would be the only chance for the judge to save face — not only for her, but for the entire Russian political system."
Putin last week criticized the Pussy Riot stunt, but said the band members should not be judged too harshly.
Stanislav Samutsevich, the father of one of the defendants, voiced concern that the women's anti-
During a Tuesday gig in Moscow, Madonna had the words "Pussy Riot" written on her bare back and also dunned a ski mask, or balaclava — symbol of the band. The punk rockers perform in bright-colored homemade sk masks.
Amnesty International has called the women prisoners of conscience. Musicians including Madonna, The Who's Pete Townsend and Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys have urged their release.
The defense lawyers said that activists around the world will show their solidarity with the band by holding a global protest on Aug.17, the day Judge Marina Syrova is to issue her verdict.
Early in the trial, the band members apologized to all Orthodox believers, saying that they did not mean to offend anyone and that their performance was aimed against Putin and Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, who had urged Russians to vote for Putin.
Putin rhetoric might have antagonized the judge.
Prosecutors and lawyers for church employees, who were described as the injured party in the case, insisted that they saw no political motives behind the band's actions, only blasphemy and hatred toward Orthodox believers.
Supporters in the courtroom greeted Alekhina's speech with enthusiastic applause, to which the judge responded, "This is not a theater."
Before their church stunt, the band became an Internet sensation for performing a song that praised last winter's massive anti-Putin protests from a spot on Red Square used in the past for announcing czar's decrees. The group members have described themselves as feminists and accused the Russian leadership of infringing on the rights of women and the gay and lesbian community.
About a dozen Pussy Riot supporters also gathered outside the courthouse, and at least three, including a protester wearing a balaclava, were detained, the Interfax news agency reported.
and clumsy stunt, brought so much trouble?" Alekhina told the court. "How can this happen in a healthy society? And now it takes thousands of people around the world to prove the obvious, to prove that the three of us are innocent."
"How did it happen that our performance, which was a small
GOLDEN OLDIES
90s rockers reunite for summer tour
IMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
ST. LOUISE — Everclear singer Art Alexakis is putting '90s radio rock music on a pedestal with his new tour, Summerland.
The tour also features Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, Lit and Marcy Playground.
"People have been talking about doing a '90s tour for a while, but it never seemed like the right time and it never got together," says Alexakis, whose band released "Sparkle and Fade" in 1995. "And I heard about bigger bands trying to do it — bands who can tour on their own. But they couldn't get their egos together."
With likely fewer egos to check among Everclear, Sugar Ray and Gin Blossoms, Alexakis pulled together the tour. Instead of waiting for someone to call him, he made a call himself in search of a partner in the venture.
"I needed someone with high visibility and energy for days, and the only person I could think of was Mark McGrath," he says of the Sugar Ray lead singer. "He was totally down with it."
"I hadn't felt compelled to make an album until two years ago," he says. "Before, I didn't have a deal or much money sitting around. Now I've got something to say."
"It sounds like old school Everclear but contemporized," he says. "That's what I was shooting for."Alexakis says he wanted to make a record that demonstrated he is playing by his own rules, no matter the cost."That's indicative of me at 50," he says. "I've been on a roller coaster. I've been up and been down, and one thing I know will happen if you're down is you'll come back up. This is me, this is my band, and we put our hearts and souls into this."
"It doesn't offend me at all. There is a certain nostalgia," he says. "Everclear has a foot in the past and a foot in the future. We're still doing it. I still got that fire in my belly."
He says the tour, which is like a rock summer camp for him and the other performers, is something different for fans.
Some may call the tour an attempt at a comeback or something representing the "new nostalgia," but Alexakis says he doesn't care.
That fire still burns with the band's new album "Invisible Stars," its first in six years. Alexakis says it took a long time to get "Invisible Stars" going because he wasn't feeling inspired.
"Its giving value and giving people what they want," Alexakis says. "The word of mouth has been huge. We're bringing something to people that is bigger than any of us, and none of us could do this by ourselves."
"Invisible Stars" shows off Everclear bringing together the old and the new.

Welcome back!
As the editor of this Back To School special section, I invite you to please flip through and read whatever answers your questions or interests you, or makes you laugh. Throughout this section, our summer reporters show you how to save money, spend your freetime constructively and live efficiently.
If you're an incoming freshman living in the dorms without a stove, you want to flip to page 23, where Viraj Amin gives you cool microwaveable recipes. From personal experience, the omelette in a mug works very well as a quick breakfast meal.
If you're not a native Kansan,
on page 50 Roya Ibrahimi suggests Kansas landmarks you should visit before your time here is up. If you're an upperclass student, you want to check page 41 to see if you still fall under your parents' insurance, or page 45 to see if the Kansas Board of Regents increased your tuition from last year.
We also have the football schedule and non-conference men's basketball schedule on page 54. Kansas football has a new celebrity head coach in Charlie Weis, while Bill Self tries to take the basketball team one step further than last year — to an NCAA championship.
2012 is the 100-year anniversary of the Jayhawk, homecoming and The University Daily Kansan. So Victoria Pitcher gives you a list of memorable traditions that have passed through the University on page 20.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Buoyed by basketball, there's much excitement at this university. I hope you find this special section useful in figuring out how to live, learn, and graduate on time.
Shanker is a senior in journalism from Naperville, Ill., and is the managing editor of the Kansan.

TRAGEDY
Bramlage family plane crashes in Florida, six dead
A plane crash in Florida on June 6 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 university's basketball team's home court. The arena is named after Ron's
grandfather, Fred Bramlage. Ron was a business owner in Junction City, Kan.
According to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, the crash took place in Tiger Creek Preserve, Florida, a remote and swampy area.
The family's flight was traveling from Port St. Lucie to Junction City, Kan., according to the website FlightAware.
"They were an amazing family," a Bramlage family member told KMBC news. "We are heartbroken."

MEDICINE
University Cancer Center designated National Cancer Institute July 12
After speculation and an unofficial Facebook post by Senator Pat Roberts in late June, the University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) was officially accepted as a National Cancer Institute (NCI) on July 12.
"We are extremely proud of what this designation means, and what it will mean to the people of Kansas and our region who deserve this level of care," said Roy Jensen, director of the cancer center, on the KUCC website. "The University of Kansas Cancer Center has now been recognized for having one of the best cancer centers in the country."
KUCC is now one of 67 NCI
designated cancer centers in the country and the only one in the state. The decision came after applying for the designation in September 2011 and investing seven years and $350 million toward the goal. As a designated center, KUCC will be able to receive federal funding, open more clinical trials and provide better care to Kansas cancer patients.
The center had created 1,123 jobs and contributed more than $450 million to the local economy as of last September. Officials expect that the designation will improve these numbers because more federal research funding will result in more higher-paying jobs.

FIRE
Lawrence grass fire started by squirrel
A large grass fire was started on July 5 when a squirrel came in contact with overhead power lines. The power lines caught fire and fell to the ground in the morning, igniting the grass and shrubs in the area. Minor property damage was reported, but nobody was injured. The entire city block between Bob Billings Parkway and Palisades St. was evacuated and the fire was contained, according to Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department.
Mckinley said the fire had reached at least three houses. The police focused on evacuating residents in the area. There was no public access to the area; however, around 1 p.m., police started allowing a small number of residents to return to their homes.

KU Med tops list of most popular medical schools
The University of Kansas Medical Center tied for first place with the Center for Health Sciences at Oklahoma State University in US News and World Report's list of the 10 most popular medical schools. The results were based on the enrollment percentage, according to the report released on June 19.
"We know that rankings are just one of many ways to measure the success of a medical school. and we're very pleased to be at the top of this list again this year,"
said Donna Peck, assistant communication director for the Med Center. "There are so many factors that go into rankings like these, but we would like to think that one of them is our reputation as one of the best medical schools in the country for educating primary care doctors. Many of our applicants are interested in pursuing careers in primary and rural medicine, and they are very aware that this is the place to get the best training for those areas."
The Med Center had 3,270 students enrolled for the Fall 2011 semester.

The University is saving on office supplies, computers, and other costs as part of a new initiative to improve efficiency.
The change is expected to save as much as $875,000 per year because of contracts negotiated under the Changing for Excellence initiative.
Changing for Excellence is all about finding areas of opportunity to reduce administrative costs and operate more efficiently," Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said in a news
According to the release, the University partnered with Huron Consulting Group last fall to identify opportunities for new supplier contracts. The report that the University and Huron issued emphasized combining the buying power of the University and KU Med Center into joint contracts.

Hometown celebrities play in charity game
ROYA IBRAHIMI editor@kansan.com
Hollywood celebrities teamed up for a game of wiffle ball at the "Little K" as part of a fundraising event benefiting Children's Mercy Hospital on Friday June 22.
The game was part of the third annual Big Slick Celebrity Weekend fundraiser in Kansas City, hosted by University alumni Rob Riggle and Paul Rudd and Kansas native Jason Sideikis. Other celebrity attendees included Olivia Wilde, Jon Hamm, Johnny Knoxville, Eric Stonestreet and David Koechner.
"We are here to support Children's Mercy Hospital, raise money for the cancer center specifically, and have
a blast doing it," Riggle said.
And a blast they were having.
I
"What may make it worse is that every single one of us is completely jacked on steroids," Rudd said. "We've got rage like you wouldn't believe."
Paul Rudd gave the audience a heads up on what could take place on the field.
With beer bottles in one hand and wifle balls in the other, celebrities battled it out on the field. The blue team, headed by Riggle, defeated the white team, led by Rudd and Sudeikis.
Other fundraising events included a poker tournament and an auction.
Wiffle balls were thrown at the person batting, beers were chugged while playing and even some "fighting" broke out during the game.
Items attendees could bid on included a VIP night at the ESPY Awards, hosted by Riggle in July, tickets to watch a KU basketball game with Riggle, an opportunity to have Chief's punter, Dustin Colquitt, sign autographs at your office or school, and a day at "The Daily Show."
All proceeds went to Children's Mercy Hospitals Cancer center. To send a $5 donation text SLICK to 50555 or as Paul Rudd said, "George Brett, 0, George Brett, George Brett, George Brett."

VOCABULARY
Know these 10 KU terms before the semester begins
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
Now that you have finally arrived, here are 10 key terms that you should know to navigate campus and Lawrence.
Campanile: (CAMP-uh-NEE-lee) One of the most famous landmarks on campus. The campanile was built to honor students and alumni who did during World War II. Walking through the hollowed bell tower after graduation is a University tradition, but if you walk through it before it is considered a curse that prevents you from graduating.
The Underground: If you're looking for a place to grab a quick bite between classes, The Underground is the place to go. Located in Wescoe, The Underground offers a variety of food from Chick-fil-A to Pizza Hut and healthier options such as salad and wraps.
Wescoe Beach: (WES-ko) Yes it is called a beach, but don't go looking for sand or water. The newly reconstructed Wescoe Beach has added seating, light poles, trees and even electrical outlets.
UDK: The University Daily Kansan, which is the campus newspaper, will keep you informed.
The Hawk: Formally known
as Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio Street., it's a good place to grab cheap drinks. It is more known as a Greek bar and if you are 21 and over you might be overage.
Mass Street: Massachusetts Street has everything, from places to shop to restaurants to bars. If you are ever bored, venture down there for entertainment.
UCC: Located in the Burge Union, the University Career Center is the place to go when looking for jobs or internships.
Chi Omega Fountain: (KI O-me-ga) Located on Jayhawk Boulevard and West Campus Road, the Chi Omega Fountain is a good place to cool down on a hot day.
Allen Fieldhouse: It has been called the Mecca of College Basketball and the best place to watch a college basketball game. Students camp out days before games to get a seat in the fieldhouse and pride themselves on making it the toughest place for an opposing team to play.
SUA: Student Union Activities organizes many events for students. The concerts to guest speakers are usually pretty cheap with your student ID.

LICENSE AND REGISTRATION
DMV waives online fees for one year
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — To encourage residents to renew their vehicle registrations online, Kansas officials said Wednesday that fees will be waived for the next year for payments made online using credit cards or electronic checks.
The announcement from the state Division of Vehicles came three weeks after a legislative committee ordered an audit of a $40 million upgrade of the computer system that handles annual vehicle tags. Problems following the upgrade's rollout in May led to long lines and hours of waiting in some county treasurers' offices.
Spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda said the division isn't anticipating those long lines into the future and simply wanted to remind people that they can renew their tags online. The state also allows many vehicle owners to mail in renewal forms and payments.
In order to renew online, an owner must have previously registered the vehicle at the same address and have insurance coverage. The division has charged a 2.5 percent fee for using a credit card to renew tags online, or $5 for a $200 payment. It also has charged a flat $3 fee or using an online check.
The state expects the yearlong waiver of fees to save Kansas vehicle owners $1.2 million, though the figure could be higher depending on how many people renew their tags online. Last year, about 2.4 million vehicles were registered in Kansas and about 11 percent, or 269,000, were online renewals.
"Its a convenience," Koranda said. "We're trying to make sure that there's not a barrier."
When the Division of Vehicles division rolled out its upgraded computer system in early May, county treasurers stopped taking vehicle registrations, driver's license applications and other related business for about a week during the installation. That created backlogs, and other problems with the system hampered companies' efforts to deal with the backlog, even as residents came in with new business.
PAGE7
It was the first overhaul of the division's computer systems since the late 1980s. The Department of Revenue, which oversees the Division of Vehicles, is still withholding the final payment of $2.5 million due to its contractor, 3M Co., until the agency feels problems are resolved, State auditors expect to finish their review of the computer upgrade by early spring.
State Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat who pushed for the audit, welcomed the division's decision but said the agency should have done it before rolling out the computer system upgrade to help lessen lines at county treasurer's offices.
"This should have been part of the planning process," Kelly said. "It's pretty obvious to everyone that the rollout was not smooth."
Koranda said lines were "dying down" in counties with long waits. Also, she and other department officials have noted that in dealing with the backlog, the new computer system has handled more transactions in recent weeks than it did in the same period last year.
Kevin Miller, a Topeka painter, was renewing his car tag and took a number and then a break from the line to grab a barbecue beef sandwich from a street vendor a few blocks away. He acknowledged he hadn't considered trying to renew the tags online, and anticipated a three-hour wait and took it in stride saying, "It is what it is."
But in Topeka, residents were still waiting several hours Wednesday morning to renew their tags at the Shawnee County treasurer's office inside the courthouse.
Karlen Peterson, a Topeka teacher, came to the courthouse to register a new car for friends, a couple who between them work three jobs and couldn't take off work. He anticipated a three-hour wait.
As for the division's argument that problems are diminishing, Peterson agreed there's been a slight improvement but still scuffed, saying, "It was chaos before. Now, it's just really bad."
"There's certain things you can't do online" he said. "That the problem."

ADVICE
Enjoy your time here; It won't last long
As my time as a student comes to an end, I can't help but reflect on the past five years (victory lap!)
while Vitamin C's "Graduation" plays in my mind...I'm not going to put you through that, but I would like to share some words of advice.
I'm going to go ahead and get the cliches out of the way first: College flies by. Get involved. Take advantage of the opportunities. Have fun. Study hard. Don't take these four (or five, or however many) years for granted. Be safe. You will someday look back on this time and miss it. You will.
By Anna Allen
aallen@kansan.com
Now that those are out of the way, I am going to add a few of my own thoughts on what I wish I had known while at the University.
1. The library has the best, I repeat, best resources. Learn how to use them. I'm not even saying necessarily for your projects or papers, but did you know they have an entire DVD section? Or an entire row in the stacks dedicated to Scandinavian royals? Me neither. I didn't know this until my last semester. They also have subscriptions to some of the raddest, most expensive websites and databases in the world. If you want a book, they will find it and help you get it into your hands. Any book. Even if it's flippin' Amelia
Also, most of your Western Civ texts can be found online for free. Most of them are public domain and can be found on Google Books or somewhere similar. Wait until after you find out how much of your textbook you'll use in other classes, then you can decide if it's worth buying. You can always find rentable texts in different libraries and departments. Honestly, I didn't use 85 percent of my textbooks.
Bedelia, they will make it happen. Explore your hobbies and interests now. You have the best resources to do so.
worst." Seriously. My sister would still own a pass to Mrs. E's if she could get one for her and the rest of her family. After all, who could ever tire of a cereal bar? I think I'll miss that the most.
2. Eat at the dining hall. I know, I know, it gets old. I felt the same way. But oh, how I wish I would have listened to my older siblings when they said, "Enjoy it now, because when you have to cook yourself, it's the
3. Talk to your professors. They are people, believe it or not, and most are there because they really do want to help you learn. And most are experts on extremely specific topics. And most want to tell you about what they know. Go to office hours, and email them if you have questions. Know what is worth debating and what is not. That extra credit you turned in and got five out of ten, let it go. Unless, of course, they are blatantly wrong.
4. Put down your phones and talk to the people around you. After college, you're probably rarely, if ever, going to be around so many people in the same life stage or situation that you are. Everyone is here trying to get a degree, so make the best of it. We're all on the same playing field, help each other out. Meet people who are interested in the same hobbies. You may never again see people with the same interests on a daily basis. Don't stick to groups that only agree with you or like what you like. Explore different groups and make friends with all kinds of
people. This is how you learn.
5. I think this is probably the most important thing I wish I had known: Take control of your course order. I wish I had taken more general education classes at the beginning and avoided diving into so many major-specific classes. I have more than 12 credit hours that do not apply at all to my degree. I should have been more open to the idea that I would maybe change my mind (which I did, five times) before deciding on a major. Gen eds: Get them done. Tell your advisor you want ones that are general to many schools and can count for at least something if you change your major. Be smart about your classes. Be open to new majors. Don't assume you will graduate with the major you started in. If you do, props. Major props (pun intended). I wish I had had my stuff together.
But most of all, get off the computer and go sledding on snow days, tailgate before games and go to the Union movies. Facebook will be around 10 years down the road (or so we're told), but you won't be on campus forever. Yes, we're always Jayhawks, but it's a rare time of your life when you're surrounded by 25,000 others who take "Rock Chalk" to heart.

The sun is pounding down on you as you walk to class. By the time you get to your classroom, you're hot and drenched in sweat.
The first month back to school is a hot one, and sweating is inevitable. Students and stores around Lawrence have a solution to the uncomfortable conditions that occur while walking around campus in the high temperatures: comfortable, summer-friendly attire.
Alex Cleeter, a first-year law student from Plano, Texas, said he's a T-shirt and shorts kind of guy when it's hot out.
"I try to keep it as light as possible," he said.
Eleni Roussopoulos, a senior from Overland Park, keeps cool in the summer by wearing loose dresses. She's also thought about bringing extra clothes in her school bag.
"I've thought about wearing shorts and a T-shirt while walking around and then change for class," she said.
Tank tops are a popular summer trend for both men and women, said Chris Cox, owner of Shark's Surf Shop, 813 Massachusetts St.
A
"It took a long time for the Midwest to start wearing tank tops but now they are." Cox said.
"You can go swimming in it, but it's also a short you can wear out at night," he said.
Amanda Gage, the primary blog contributor for Kieu's, 738 Massachusetts Street, said students who want to dress up a little more for class should think practically and衣 clothes that are going to let them breathe.
A good trend for men is hybrid shorts, which Cox said can get wet and be worn as casual shorts.

Secondhand stores save your budget
a.t.c

editor@kansan.com
Shopping doesn't have to be dangerous to your budget. Lawrence is filled with secondhand clothing stores that give college students an opportunity to buy gently-used clothes for a lower price, and earn money by selling their unwanted clothing that has made its way to the back of a closet.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Arizona Trading Co. provides a variety of clothing that current and casual. Students can sell their clothing and get store credit or get cash back.
Arizona Trading Co., 736 Massachusetts Street, offers a variety of clothing that manager Corey Sievers said are current casual basics. The clothing usually ranges from $7.50 to $13.50, but is higher for designer items. Students sell their used clothing to the store and receive 35 percent cash or 60 percent store credit based on the selling price.
Allyson Nichols, assistant manager of Plato's Closet, 3514 Clinton Parkway, said Plato's Closet sells current brands and styles ranging from places such as Target to Nordstrom. Students can bring in their gently-used clothing and sell it to the store.
"A lot of students live in different areas and are not only shopping in Lawrence, so they bring in lots of different styles and brands." Nichols said. "How we price depends on the brand and condition."
Jarrett Lies, a recent graduate from Olathe, once made $150 by selling clothes to Plato's Closet. Regularly, Lies said she uses the money she earns to buy groceries, but sometimes spends the money on new clothes.
Although Lies originally paid a high prices for her clothing, she knows she is getting money back by reselling them.
"I don't feel bad about spending the money on more clothes because I'm not losing anything," she said.
Holly Harsh-Charlton, manager of Wild Man Vintage, located at 939 Massachusetts St., said the store aims to make vintage fun, interesting, and accessible for customersShe said the store keeps its inventory moving so there's room for new fresh things.
Harsh-Charlton said a lot of students come to Wild Man Vintage if they're looking for a 60s- or 70s-style outfit for a themed party, or to mix with a regular wardrobe.
Harsh-Charlton said it's very rare that an item at Wild Man costs more than $25 or $30.
Wild Man Vintage buys from the public. When people sell their clothing to the store, they receive 40 percent in cash or 60 percent in-store credit, based off the selling price.
"We try to keep our prices low so it's affordable to college students, and anybody else really," she said.

Student organizations are open to all
ROYA IBRAHIMI editor@kansan.com
Whether the name of a student group describes you or not, you can still become an active member.
Many students have assumed that they cannot join an organization because they do not fit the ethnic or religious description of the group, and students might be missing an opportunity to broaden their social circle and educate themselves because of the misconception.
Zack Hall, a recent graduate from Clearwater, said he was interested in many organizations but never took the leap to join the ethnic and religious groups because he figured he would be "disqualified" in a sense. But this never stopped him from taking chances to attend events.
"I realized I could still go to the free food events and the cultural activities because they were open to the public," Hall said.
Like Hall, many students attend the public events of these organizations and
become exposed to other cultures and religions.
Overland Park senior Faiza Khan was intrigued by the Arab culture because she was exposed to the language, food and religion and wanted to learn more and be around it more often.
"I joined Arab Student Union because I liked the culture and it brought me closer to the Arab Muslims I know on campus, even though not everyone is Muslim and Arab in the organization," Khan said.
The Arab Student Union is a newly-founded student organization. Although she is not Arab, Khan was deemed vice president of the group, before it was an official organization,.
This shows that you do not have to fit the name of the group to be able to join it. If you're interested and drawn to the organization, you can try it. If you're unsure, consider talking to someone in the group. It never hurts to ask.

Bike rental program still coming soon
KU
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Bike rentals on campus have been discussed, but delayed. In a 2010 survey, students, faculty and staff said that they would like to ride more bikes around campus and around town.
The University bike rental program, which was projected to begin at the start of fall semester, has been delayed. However, advocates for the program are still promising a roll out of the program.
VICTORIA PITCHER
editor@kansan.com
The bike rental program idea started last year as a KUlnited platform. However, the program was put aside after new Senate members were elected and larger projects took precedence.
Tapan Maji, an international graduate student from Kolkata, India, rides his bike that a friend gave him 10 miles every day from his apartment to the lab where he studies. Maji said riding a bike reduces air pollution; however, he wants to buy a car for when he needs to go places he can't get to by bike.
"We are still pushing forward with the project and hope to have bike rentals later in the semester," said Thomas Plummer, a junior from Towanda and Student Senate chief of staff.
Former student body president Libby Johnson and former vice president Gabe Bliss headed the initiative along with Plummer. Bliss said they saw a need for a bike rental system especially with international students.
The University Center for Sustainability is looking for ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide the University emits. A 2010 survey of students, faculty and staff found that more students would ride a bike if there were more bike lanes on campus and on city streets.
Vanessa Sillman, a senior from San
Francisco, rides her bike to and from campus and places like the grocery store, but has found it isn't easy.
"It's hard because of the hills" Sillman said.
Sillman said she has popped a couple tires on her bike because of the uneven, brick roads. Sillman said where she comes from, biking is very popular.
Mary Chappell, director of Student Recreational Services and member of the bike rental program committee, agrees that biking is becoming the new thing for exercise and sustainability and that the bike rental program is only part of a larger movement.
"it's much bigger than a bike program," said Chappell.
Chappell said although they are looking at possible programs for campus, she thinks it could integrate into a city-wide program. The committee is looking at Outdoor Pursuits in the student recreation fitness center as the primary campus location.
Chappell said the University was looking at other schools, such as Washington State's Green Bike Program, to see what could work.
A possible bike share program would be paid for through student fees, virtually costless for students, and they would just have to swipe their KU card to get a bike for a day. For longer rental periods such as a week or a semester, Chappell said there could be a charge.
Chappell said there is no target date set for the program, but she thinks it could be as early as spring semester.

Students clock in with new payroll system in fall
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
editor@kansan.com
Student employees will punch a clock with the click of a mouse under new payroll system.
They will no longer use paper time sheets to log the hours worked and instead will use one of two electronic methods: a time collection device or online web clock.
Student Assistant and Peer Advisor Chad Renner said that the change could help with "inaccurate" time keeping.
"As a student, it can be difficult to both be at school and keep track of your hours, but now we'll have a machine that can do it for you," said Renner, a senior from Louisburg. "It'll definitely be a lot more accurate statistically. There's times I may work ten minutes over. I may write down that I work 4.5 hours, but really work four hours and 40 minutes."
Recent graduate Abby Graszl, who is working in the Office of Study Abroad through the summer, agreed that the paper time sheets are often skewed because they are
only filled out every two weeks.
"It would be more accurate, that's for sure," Graszl said. "Sometimes it's hard to remember if you don't write it down every day."
"The University is state run, and the Union is its own entity, so we won't be affected by the change," Hinkle said. "Currently, we use a clock-in device that scans our whole hand print."
The University employs around 5,000 students each year through state and grant funding, student tuition, and other private sources depending on the position. Not all student workers will be affected by the change though.
dents will also be able to access web clocks from any device with Internet, including personal computer and mobile devices.
One hundred and forty time collection devices will be placed throughout campus over the next few months for student workers to easily access the devices, which are either a proximity card reader or a

Bolton, Woodard expecting big things
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
editor@kansan.com
Despite looming graduation in the spring, student body president Hannah Bolton and vice-president Brandon Woodard have high expectations for the upcoming school year.
"We have worked on safety issues, sustainability issues and academic issues, and I'd say those are our biggest ones," said Bolton, a senior from St. Libory, Neb. "Essentially, what we're trying to do is just make sure we are accomplishing something for each student that goes here because everyone has different interests."
KONITED
Like most seniors, both Bolton and Woodard are planning out their futures, and although their work with Student Senate is keeping them busy, they say they're on track and ready for the next step in life.
"My main goal is just to feel accomplished when it all ends," Bolton said. "I think that I've taken a lot away from it already. I just have a deep appreciation for how accepting everyone has been here."
Bolton, a business management major, plans to go to graduate school and hopes and to one day continue her work with higher education policies and student affairs.
Hannah Bolton, student body president, right, and vice president Brandon Woodard take office in their senior year. They are encouraging all students to get involved in student government and campus organizations.
Woodard, a political science major from Topeka, wants to return to school after working for a few years in Chicago and then study hospital administration.
The year is shaping up to be a busy one for the pair, but they still remember their urge to help students is what initially brought them to their positions. Woodard encouraged all students to get involved in any way and voice their opinions.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
"Join a committee; it's open to every student on campus, and that's one of the easiest ways to get involved with Senate as a whole," Woodard said. "Contact your senators if there are issues that you have ideas and opinions on. They have people representing them that can bring these issues to the forefront."
"Most students are involved in at least one activity and almost every single one of those activities goes for funding through Senate," Bolton said. "A lot of people don't understand what they can get from our services. So just figure out how your organization can work with Senate and let us know how we can help them."
Bolton supported the importance of getting involved and also wanted to remind students that Senate plays a role in all aspects of the University.

Beer drinking and summer activities go hand in hand, said Matt Easley, general manager of On the Rocks, 1818 Massachusetts Street. Easley said beer is most popular during the summer, and the biggest seasonal beer selection is available.
"Summer beers are usually lighter and usually lower in alcohol content so people can drink more of them." Easley said. "Lighter beers, wheat beers, fruit ales and summer beers like Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy sell well during the summer."
Dan Dutcher, a fifth-year senior from Witchita, said his favorite summer beer is Samuel Adams Summer Ale. According to the Samuel Adams website, it is a wheat ale made with malted wheat, lemon peel and Grains of Paradise, a rare African pepper
"Wheat beers are the right kind of beer to be drinking when you are sitting around a campfire or something. It just feels right." Dutcher said.
Blake Tillman, a fifth-year senior from McPherson, said he is always open to trying new beers and enjoys going to 23rd Street Brewery,
3512 Clinton Parkway, to try whatever seasonal beers the brewery has on tap.
People are very tuned into and interested in seasonal offerings and local breweries are keeping up with the public's interest.
"I like the Bartertown Brown at 23rd Street Brewery," Tillman said. "I'm just trying to taste new things and not be hesitant to try a new beer."
THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 2012
This summer, Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., came out with a summer beer called Stormchaser Summer IPA. Free State owner Chuck Magerl said Stormchaser is golden colored with a citrus flavor, a great summer beverage.
Magerl said Oktoberfest, which he called an "immensely popular seasonal beer," will start appearing towards the end of summer and will be sold throughout the fall.
"We had two versions of Storm Chaser and served them both downtown, then took the best characters of both and combined them into the beer that is in the bottles," Magerl said.

WATER
Local water toxin free despite algae blooms
Toxins from a large algae bloom in a northeast Kansas reservoir wound up in the Kansas River, a major drinking-water source, but the toxins weren't present in the water after it had undergone standard treatments, according to a study by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The study, conducted in September and October 2011, involved testing for algae toxins in samples from about 170 miles of the Kansas River, from the Milford Reservoir to the Kansas City area. It was prompted by concerns about water releases from Milford Reservoir during a large algae bloom last summer. Releases from the reservoir head into the Kansas River, which provides drinking water for about 800,000 people in eastern Kansas.
Excessive toxins from algae blooms can make people sick, causing diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms. Animals can die if they drink too much water affected by algae blooms.
The blooms in Kansas last year were among the worst and forced the closure of several lakes in the state.

Happy hour comes to Kansas thanks to new legislation
ANNA ALLEN
aeallen@kansan.com
Afternoons and evenings in Kansas got a little happier over the summer. Since 1985, Kansas bars and restaurants have been prohibited from alcohol with happy hour promotions for alcohol, but a new law ending the ban went into effect on July 1.
During the ban, many bars operated within a loophole by offering day long drink specials, including Louise's, 1009 Massachusetts St., The Eldridge, 701 Massachusetts St., and Tapas Mexican Food, 724
Massachusetts St.
Kyle Black, an alum from Lawrence, said he's always found it odd that Kansas laws didn't allow happy hours. "It seemed to be that Kansas was behind the times," Black said.
Ryan Callihan, a graduate student from Lenexa, said he won't benefit from the change since he's usually busy with class or work between 3-6 p.m., the time when many happy hours are offered.
The Casbah Burger Stand, 803 Massachusetts St.,however, seems to have a solution to Callihan's problem.
"We're offering reverse happy hour," David Swenson of the Burger Stand said. "The drink specials will vary but it will be from 10 p.m. to midnight."
Though it's still early to tell how the new laws will affect businesses, but Black said he thinks it will help attract customers.
The Burger Stand started their new promotions the day the law first went into effect.

Law aims to decrease drunk driving

A new law was passed on July 1 that no person can refuse a breathalyzer test .The law carries a $1,750 fine and an automatic one-year license suspension.
JESSICA TIERNEY editor@kansan.com
You can't refuse a breathalyzer test anymore, unless you want to pay $1,750.
On July 1, the Kansas Legislature enacted a new law criminalizing the refusal of taking a breath, blood or urine test when being pulled over with the suspicion of drunk driving.
Refusal can result in jail time and fine of up to $1,750 for first time offenders.
In addition, refusal of the test is an automatic one-year license suspension, along with another year of driving with an ignition interlock device.
Ignition interlock devices require drivers to pass a breathalyzer test before starting the car.
"What this new legislation would like to do is add thousands of more people to the county jail system at
Drunk driving is considered a serious offense in the state of Kansas for many reasons, but primarily because some drunk driving accidents are fatal.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2009, there were 10,839 fatalities alone resulting from alcohol-impaired driving.
The risk for college-age students is even higher.
This statistic accounts for 32 percent of all traffic-related deaths in the United States that year.
According to the same CDC statistics, 35 percent of drivers involved in fatal drunk driving accidents were between the ages of 21 and 24.
Kevin Cummings, a junior from Overland Park, was introduced to some of the strictest DUI laws in the country on a "normal Saturday
night" in April 2009.
What if I refuse the breathalyzer test?" he asked the police officer. The officer replied, "It's an automatic one-year driving suspension."

TRADITIONS
School traditions, past and present
VICTORIA PITCHER
vpitcher@kansan.com
In a small office on the third floor of the Union is a treasure chest of University history. Artifacts from the past are scattered all over campus, but in this office there are photos, a collection of Jayhawk figurines, and even student event tickets that date back to 1932, when a bundle of them only cost $2.75.
Mike Reid, director of public affairs at KU Memorial Unions, lights up when he talks about the University and its unique and deep-rooted traditions. Here are 10 traditions, some alive and some that have faded over the years.
1. The Rock Chalk Chant
this nationally-recognized chant was started by members of the science club in 1886. The idea was E. H. S. Bailey's, a chemistry professor, and it was approved by the club's members. The original chant was "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU," but it quickly changed to "Rock Chalk." According to KUHistory.com, this chant was ranked best in the country in the mid-1890s by a Harvard publication. Although some traditions live and some die out, Reid said he doesn't see this one ever going away.
2. Waving the wheat
In Kansas, where wheat fields are plentiful, waving the wheat is a symbol of home pride. Whether the football team just scored or the basketball team finished with another win, you will see the crowd of people waving their hands back and forth, like grains of wheat in the wind.
"It's probably the biggest tradition that nobody knows where it came from or when it started," Reid said. Reid estimates the tradition began some time before the 1960s, but no one is sure.
3. Basketball games
It's no secret that basketball is a tradition at the University where the father of basketball, James Naismith, served as chaplain and director of physical culture. But even the smaller traditions within basketball are popular among students.
Carolyn Bandle, a freshman from Lawrence, said she has been to basketball games already and loves when the students tear up newspaper pieces and
throw them in the air.
"You can see the energy of the students," handle said.
Because basketball games are so popular, it can be hard to snatch good seats for the game. That's where camping comes in.
"Camping is one of my favorite traditions," said Vinit Nanavaty, a senior from Overland Park. Nanavaty said sometimes during camping, students have the chance to meet the players. Before one game in particular, the players handed out pizza to the campers while he was there.
4. Baby Jay
Although basketball may be a favorite among students, Reid said it was more than a game to Naismith, which makes it that much more special.
Believe it or not, a tradition can be started by just a single person. Baby Jay was an idea that Amy Sue Hurst, a student in the late 60s, came up with. And when the University said they couldn't fund another mascot costume, she made her own and donated it. Since 1971, Baby Jay has been in the Jayhawk family.
5. The Jayhawk
The Jayhawk has not always been the symbolic mascot that it has become. Reid said in the University's early years, before the University had a distinct mascot, the school used a pig named Don Carlos as the mascot. Fortunately, Don Carlos was a short-lived tradition. In 1912 the Jayhawk, drawn by Henry Maloy, was recognized. However, even up until 1917, the Jayhawk was often accompanied by a bulldog as Big Jay walked across the football field.
6. Crimson and Blue
Before our colors were crimson and blue, they were maize yellow and sky blue, but many students wanted to change the colors. Reid said the Kansan at the time told students to wear the colors they thought should represent the University to the next football game. Sure enough, the majority of students wore crimson. According to the University's website, the crimson was to honor a man from Harvard who donated money for the University's athletic field. The colors became official in 1986.
7. 100 years of Homecoming
The University is celebrating the 100th anniversary of homecoming. The first homecoming football game was played against Missouri on Nov. 23, 1912.
KANSAS
The first queen was crowned in 1925 and the last in 1969 according to KUHHistory.com. The tradition ended because crowning of a homecoming queen was thought to be unbecoming of the University. Many publications around the nation said the end of the homecoming queen was a good thing.
8. Walking down the hill
After four (or five, or three) years of college, students complete a rite of passage, signifying graduation: walking through the Campanile and down the hill into Memorial Stadium. But according to legend, if a student walks through the Campanile early, they won't graduate on time.
Chris Manship, a senior from Cave Creek, Ariz., said campus traditions like walking through the Campanile influenced his decision to come to the University.
"Not many schools have a ceremony like that," he said.
9. Night shirt parade
Reid said the night before big football game, male students would head downtown wearing pajama shirts for the "night shirt parade." Sometimes it was done after a victory or to celebrate a big event such as appointing a new chancellor. These parades are reported to have happened in as early as the 1890s. The final parade was held on September 27, 1957.
10. Hobo Day
riroo Day was a day that students dressed like, well, hobos. It also created a party atmosphere around campus, which led the University to end the tradition. Hobo Day lasted from 1923 to 1939 according to KUHistory. com.
100 years of The Kansan
In 1912, The Kansan became the first college newspaper in Kansas. The paper only came out three times a week, but it wanted to be comparable to neighboring states' college newspapers that published daily.
The newspaper sparked different traditions during the century, including students intimidating opponents

ROYA IBRAHIMI editor@kansan.com
When you walk into a restaurant today and open its menu, you notice a gluten-free section. When you walk into a grocery store, you see a "gluten-free" aisle. The question for many is, "What is gluten?"
Beth Kerling, senior research associate and registered dietitian for the Department of Dietetics and Nutrition's Nutrition Clinic at KU Medical center, said gluten is a protein formed when certain cereal flours are moistened and mixed, and it is a primary element in wheat, rye and barley.
Kerlin said that because of manufacturing and processing, gluten is also found in other grains including oats, malt, bulgur, and spelt.
Although many consumers have added gluten-free products to their diet by choice, others have been restricted because of the genetic disorder known as Celiac disease.
Natalie Bragg, a senior from
Shawnee, has this disease, which causes a severe immune reaction to gluten. Kerling says if left untreated, the small intestine loses its ability to absorb nutrients, resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and bloating.
"I have been eating gluten-free for three and a half years," Bragg said. "I can't eat anything with wheat, flour, rye, barley or other grains; even things like soy sauce can have wheat flour in it."
Bragg must read each ingredient
label carefully before buying food because even a small amount of gluten can cause sickness for days.
Like Bragg, Megan Nguyen, a University graduate from Shawnee, is gluten-intolerant, but does not have Celiac disease.
Gluten-intolerant people are not at risk for the nutritional deficiencies that people with Celiac disease face, but still many feel sick after consuming wheat products.
Nguyen has been gluten-intolerant for most of her life, but didn't know until her freshman year of college.
A doctor's visit five years ago discovered her consumption of gluten caused the stomach pains.
"I always had terrible stomach pains and never knew why," Nguyen said.
Nguyen said this diagnosis brought a positive and healthy change to her life.
"The benefits of not eating gluten have made me so much healthier," Nguyen said, who became a certified nutritionist because of her experience. "I feel so much better than I did just a few years ago, and I learned all about how bad gluten is for people."
Both Bragg and Nguyen said finding gluten-free options while eating out is one of the largest downfalls of their diet.
"It's an expensive and restrictive diet," Bragg said. "I miss eating Red Lobster's cheese biscuits and Big Mac, but eating this way insures that I am not bedridden and nauseous all day."
However, Bragg said many restaurants in Lawrence offer appealing gluten-free choices.
"Lawrence is a surpassingly good place to live if you have to eat gluten free," Bragg said. "Fuzzy's (Tacos) is perfect for those eating on a gluten-free diet. You can find something for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and never eat the same thing twice. I say this from experience."

Five places to flex creative muscles

The Lawrence Art Center offers many classes from painting to pottery,to acting and singing.The classes are low priced and even has a center for financial aid.

KELSEY CIPOLLA/KANSAN
Whether it's a chemical engineering or English major, everyone has had contact with creativity throughout his or her lives. Unfortunately many majors don't include a lot of time with the arts, so students have to find their own methods of keeping creative. Luckily Lawrence is a hub of artistic culture and has a lot to offer for artists of all mediums and skill levels.
Lawrence Arts Center
http://www.lawrenceartscenter.com/
Whether you're into paint, pottery and pencils or acting and singing, the Lawrence Arts Center has something for everyone. Hundreds of low priced classes are offered throughout the year and the center has a financial aid program to help pay for costs. This semester includes jazz, hip hop, ceramics and photography.
"Your brain is like any other muscle and it needs things to exercise your creativity," said Margaret Morris, Director of Programs and Partnership. "Art is not just a luxury, it's a necessity just like working out."

Open Mic Nights
Lawrence has plenty of local music of all genres, but if you can't find the time or dedication to be in a band there are various open mic nights around town to keep those vocal chords from getting rusty. One such venue is the Jazzhaus, which offers an acoustic open mic night every Wednesday with "gracious host" and local musician Tyler Gregory.

KU Libraries
Celebrating its second year, Libart is a year-long exhibition sponsored by KU Libraries which allows students to display their art work in the main areas of the buildings. Though the submission process for the next year ended at the end of last semester be on the lookout in the spring to get your work included.
"Participants in last year's exhibition have had very positive responses to the program, " LibArt committee chair Courtney Foat said. "We have heard from many of them that the chance to have their work seen by friends, students and faculty has been the most enjoyable part of the experience."

The thrill of performance arts will always be a passion for many, but few follow this path for a career. Community theatre offers the chance to be a part of the stage even if you're not majoring in it. Theatre Lawrence accepts people of any age and sees about 400 volunteers grace their stage, sound booth, box office and many other places throughout their 6-8 production seasons.
"There are so many talented people in Lawrence and for numerous reasons they couldn't take their talent to the next level," said Mary Doveton, Executive Director for Theatre Lawrence. "It provides a terrific outlet to keep creative juices flowing and stretches the imagination."

Whether it was a requirement for an English class or a creative mind itching to get ideas down on paper, everyone has produced a short story or poem at least once. Getting this tale told is the harder part. The Raven Bookstore's Big Tent event is a monthly reading featuring three amateur writers and has showcased numerous student writers over the years.

Music to make you focus on studying
ANNA ALLEN
editor@kansan.com
Sometimes, even at the library, you have to do anything you can to focus. Many turn to music to drown out the chatter, paper and constant paper shuffling that seems to get louder with every minute that passes bringing you closer to deadline. Here are 10 songs/artists that can help add that boost you need when working on a project or studying. After all, 5-Hour Energy doesn't change the fact that your roommate won't turn down the TV while watching The Real Housewives...
So grab your headphones and crank it up.

Yann Tiersen
Anything Yann Tiersen, especially the soundtrack to Amelie. I owe the completion of every German essay I wrote in the fall semester of 2009 to this soundtrack. I am not sure why exactly, but these songs have the ability to inspire me to not only stay creative, but to energize me to complete any project without stopping 100 times to check my Facebook, take a leisurely walk around Watson, and the like.

Regina Spektor
Regina Spektor's album "Far" is a perfect fit if you're able to work with actual words in the song. The track "Blue Lips" offers a unique tempo that sets a pace for your work. Spektor has released six albums, her first, "1:11:11," came out in 2001, and she recently released "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" earlier this year.
Classical music is a popular choice when it comes to study music. Stephanie Weinbeck's, a junior from Topeka, go-to choice is the 19th century composer Frédéric Chopin. Chopin, a child prodigy with French and Polish parents, is considered one of the greatest Romantic era composers. Some of Chopin's most recognized pieces today include The Funeral March (probably not the best when studying), and Noctures No. 2.

MUSIC
I owe my success during final week this past spring to the song "Postcards From Italy" by Beirut. I played it on continuous loop and managed to get a 10-page paper done in four hours. Though it does have lyrics, this song inspired me to keep on track while, at the same time, transporting me to a more magical place than Watson in my mind. Aside from this track, Beirut, from Santa Fe, has released three albums since its creation in 2006.
Jay-Z
If you're able to listen to music with words and stay on task, then any album of Jay-Z's is definitely worth popping in. Particularly anything off the Hits Collection I. Because if 99 Problems doesn't get you pumped when creating that PowerPoint, I don't know what will.

Mozart
Though the "Mozart Effect," the idea that classical music makes you smarter, has its many skeptics, there no denying that having some kind of noise helps certain people focus. A University of Illinois study released in May found that having background sound can get your juices flowing. So why not have some Mozart on in the background? It may not be making you smarter, per se, but it's keeping your mind busy, at least creatively. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 and became one of the most influential composers of the Classical Era. He composed more than 600 pieces of music before he died in 1791.
Vitamin String Quartet
When you want to, listen to your favorite bands, but find the words to be a distraction, check out The Vitamin String Quartet or VSQ. This group recreates some of the most popular songs with, as their name implies, a string quartet. From Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" to Coldplay's "Viva La Vida," The Vitamin String Quartet has released more than 232 albums, according to Last.FM.
Senior Zack McQuiston from Shawnee said he listens to any off the Wilco discography. Wilco formed in 1994 and has since released nine albums, the most recent, "The Whole Love," was released in September of 2011.

The initiative kicked off Thursday with about a hundred volunteers from six fraternities canvassing the Oread neighborhood with welcome bags. Volunteers, paired with city representatives, placed 2,000 bags on doorsteps with city ordinance information ranging from bike parking and house party protocol.
"A big part of going to school is learning how to live on your own," said Joe Monaco, a spokesperson for the event. "We are providing just some basic information about how
"This is the first in a set of many steps," said Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs at the University and a Good Neighbor co-creator. "We are extending an olive branch today, but it does not end here."
While no immediate events are planned for the future, Monaco said the University will continue the initiative throughout the year
The Good Neighbor program is the first to fortify the University's connection with the city.
The Good Neighbor program, created in unison by the University and the city, aims to strengthen relations between students and residents by providing students with information about good citizenship.

Trying to be more neighborly? Follow the advice of the Good Neighbor program.
-Parties: Notify neighbors before throwing a party. They'll appreciate you cluing them in.
-Parking: Do not park in the yard or in front of fire hydrants or driveways. Doing so can result in a fine.
-Pets: Animals need to be kept on a leash within the city.
-Sidewalks: Sidewalks must be clear of ice or snow within 24 hours.
-Bicycles: Bikes cannot be locked to trees or other non-designated structures.
-Safety: Lock all windows and doors, including your car, and keep electronics and valuables out of view. Call Lawrence police if you see something suspicious.
Brad Hess, a freshman from Wichita and Delta Upsilon Fraternity program volunteer, said he was impressed by the University's initiative.

ADVISING
Voice your concerns and class questions

Zirkel suggests students be vocal since the advisers don't always know what you can and cannot handle.
Figuring out what classes to take before walking down the hill can be an overwhelming, often confusing task, but idly accepting everything your adviser suggests can result in problems that waste your time and money.
"I didn't think too much about it at first, just thinking how tough the semester was going to be taking them all at the same time," Zirkel said. "I ended up dropping genetics and doing very poor in the other two classes. It dropped my GPA so low that I could not raise it back high enough to keep my scholarship," she said.
Lisa Zirkel, a recent graduate, said not voicing her concerns when she was advised to take genetics, organic chemistry and microbiology during her first semester as a Jayhawk was a big mistake.
When recent graduate Althea Schnacke's adviser made an error in where Schnacke was placed, Schnacke was able to have her class credit applied to another requirement. However, this

is often not the case. Instead, students are told they are just as responsible for double-checking their class's credit.
"I recommend that incoming students find upperclassmen in their chosen major and take advantage of whatever advice they can give them in what classes to take and when." Zirkel said.
Jody Johnson, associate director of the undergraduate advising center, said that he encourages students to be involved, and aware of their plan of study.
Johnson added that keeping track of what is discussed in your advising meetings is crucial.
Johnson said students should make use of the online course catalogue and that students should also go back to advisers, have discussions and double-check their courses.
"If you are concerned, go back to where you started," Johnson said of students being confused about their study plan and schedule.
"There is not one central advising center," Johnson said. "All across campus, the schools provide advisors. Be clear of where you are assigned."

Blogging pair aims to help collegiates cope

Mother and daughter bloggers Julie and Lindsey Mayfield probably have the answers to your questions about college finance, roommates, campus safety and the overall college experience.
Lindsey, a junior from Overland Park, and her mother began blogging for the U.S. News and World Report education blog, "Twice the College Advice," last summer. The Mayfields use their personal experience as a college student and parent of a college student to answer questions and give advice about college.
"It's really from the perspective of a parent sending her oldest to college and a student going to college" Julie said. "It's very much a 'this is what's worked for us' kind of blog."
Lindsey enjoys writing about how to acclimate yourself in college, such as first year things and how you can get involved and meet new people.
"My freshman year, I went through a lot of trial and error to kind of find my place at KU," she said. "I like being able to help students with that since I kind of struggled with it, and now I feel like I have it under control."
Julie writes a lot about being a parent of a college student and finding when it is appropriate for parents to intervene and when to let their student figure out things on their own.
"College is a process of letting go for parents," she said, "and it's kind of incremental."
The Mayfields write a lot of blog entries about college finance, including advice about student loan debt. They said the financial posts generate the most views and reader comments.
Keeping up with the blog while Lindsey is in Lawrence can be
"We are just kind of unique, and I am going to go through college without any debt and people really like to hear that perspective," Lindsey said.
tricky, but Lindsey and Julie make sure to blog and maintain their relationship while she's away.
"As long as we know the topic, we can work independently," Julie said. "Sometimes just deciding what we are going to write about that week is the hardest part."
"When something happens to me and I think it's funny, I'll call." Lindsey said. "We have a lot in common just together, so we are constantly talking."
Lindsey said her and her mom's relationship is "all over the board."
The Mayfields said writing the blog together is a fun mother-daughter thing for them to do while they are apart to stay in contact with each other.
"It's really a blessing that we get to do it together and in a medium that people actually read," Lindsey said.

Trying to be more neighborly? Follow the advice of the Good Neighbor program.
-Parties: Notify neighbors before throwing a party. They'll appreciate you cluing them in.
-Parking: Do not park in the yard or in front of fire hydrants or driveways. Doing so can result in a fine.
-Pets: Animals need to be kept on a leash within the city.
-Sidewalks: Sidewalks must be clear of ice or snow within 24 hours.
-Bicycles: Bikes cannot be locked to trees or other non-designated structures.
-Safety: Lock all windows and doors, including your car, and keep electronics and valuables out of view. Call Lawrence police if you see something suspicious.

LAWRENCE
Downtown businesses count on students
VICTORIA PITCHER
editor@kansan.com
With students flooding into Lawrence for the start of a new semester, new shops and restaurants will be competing for your business.
"Back-to-school is almost like a new year for us." Cathy Hamilton, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc said. "Downtown is doing tremendously well right now."
Hamilton said retail sales have been up for downtown Lawrence, and the Lawrence Journal-World said that city hall reported retail sales for the first half of 2012 had increased 4.6 percent.
The mix between the large student population and increasing retail sales means lots of businesses are looking at Lawrence.
Minsky's Pizza, which is a Kansas City based restaurant, opened in mid-May at 934 Massachusetts St. Co-owner, Kenny Kantner said
"We needed to get one in Lawrence," Kantner said. Kantner said Mass St. was a prime location for all-day foot traffic and that it needed a good pizza place.
he had been interested in bringing a Minsky's to Lawrence since he got on board with them.
Minsky's Pizza offers a full service restaurant and delivery. Kantner said once school starts back up, they will begin late-night hours for Thursday through Saturday.
Another new local business in town is Shots, a shot bar on 1008 Massachusetts St. Shots opened in March and CEO Jason Nguyen said he is optimistic about the future.
"This is our first year, and we are going to kill it," Nguyen said. Nguyen wanted to combine a California concept with the Midwest to bring a new kind of bar to downtown. He said he also prefers to hire students.
Quincy Sanders, a Johnson
County Community College student said he goes to Shots often.
"I just like the atmosphere," Sanders said of the bar, which features DJs and a club feel. Sanders also appreciates that the drinks are reasonably priced.
There are more new businesses to come. Hamilton said there are two major women's retailers considering opening Lawrence locations, and places such as Ten Thousand Villages, a store that sells free trade products, and Freebirds World Burrito will be opening soon in downtown Lawrence.
Catlin Noble, Freebirds director of marketing for Midwest development, said they have leased a space on Mass St. and are looking to open towards the end of October or early November.

Social media rules to save your grade
ANNA ALLEN

Technology is advancing so quickly, the etiquette can hardly keep up.
Ending an email with "Love" can do the job when responding to your parents and "Peace" works great when signing off an email to your group project members, but when it comes to emailing your professors, things get a little bit tricky.
Some professors make it clear from day one that you should call them by their first name and even text them, while others outline specific instructions for how and when to contact them.
Has it come to a time when classic etiquette and common sense gets shoved aside, and we're given instructions on how to interact with others on every medium?
Stephanie Glassberg, a junior from Buffalo Grove, Ill. doesn't think so.
"I'm not sure that I've ever had a professor who has outlined specifically how I should be emailing them,
but if I did, I would feel that it would be extremely demeaning," Glassberg said. "I am a college student, and I am very aware of what is an appropriate way to end an email to a professor and what is not."
On the other hand, Julia Trechak, a junior from Wichita, thinks having a professor spell it out for you can ease some of the stress when correspond-
"I always fret about emailing my professors, because it's like they could judge me based on how I represent myself in regards to formality and for what reason I am emailing them," Trechak said.
"I think that being friends with your professor is actually a gateway into
appropriate. If they're not, I always use 'Doctor' or 'Professor', depending of course on how their name rings," she said.
Glassberg agrees, adding that when professors tell students to call them by their first names, it creates a more open, relaxed environment.
But when professors don't outline it, what then?
But if the professor or GTA doesn't mention what to call them, it usually
getting more involved on campus."
Trechak said it depends on whether or not the course is taught by a GTA or a professor.
"If they're GTAs, first names seem
STEPHANIE GLASSBERG junior
indicates that they prefer "professor" when being addressed.
While Arvin Agah, a professor in the electrical engineering and computer science department, doesn't outline a
correspondence style in his syllabus, he said common, proper communication standards apply.
He also said students should be "specific and efficient" in their emails.
"The students are expected to be
formal or semi-formal in their communications." Agah said.
"Too informal is not acceptable. If it does happen, I will speak to the student in person, suggesting a change in their approach."
While etiquette guru Emily Post has touched on the topic, Facebook friendling your professor has yet to be considered a definite do or don't.
Email is one thing, but what about Facebook?
In fact, it gets stickier when your professor creates a class Facebook group.
Glassberg, Trechak and Agah all agree on one aspect of the Facebook rule for the most part.
Glassberg said friending a professor during the semester may be a murky issue, but friendting them after can actually come in handy.
"I agree with the "friend them after the semester" approach that I think is standard by now," Trechak said. "At least for me, and I've noticed some professors actually enforce this at the beginning of the semester."
"I am friends with my poetry teacher, and it is helpful to be friends with her, because she gives suggestions on what poetry books are coming out," Glassberg said.
Agah said while he thinks the faculty and students should share in a friendly rapport, he doesn't think it's appropriate to friend your professor.
"I think that being friends with your professor is actually a gateway into getting more involved on and around campus."
Though etiquette can be "case specific," it's always a good rule of thumb to cross-reference your manners when it comes to different mediums, especially technology.
However, she said it should always be the student who initiates the friendship on Facebook.
Would you say this to them in person or on the phone? Would you talk to your grandmother that way?
As always, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Parking tickets are often issued to students who park in the wrong place. Tickets can for a variety of prices.

Parking tickets are common occurrences for students who misunderstand the parking restrictions on campus. Tickets can paid online through the Kyou Portal.

Emily Fiore has had her fair share of parking tickets. One time, she parked in a lot she thought she was allowed to park in because it was the weekend, but she came back to a $20 dollar ticket waiting on her windshield.
"I've had Saturday labs a lot at 7 a.m. and got ticketed because I accidentally parked in a lot that was restricted 24/7." Fiore, a junior from Overland Park said.
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking and Transit Department, said some new students have different levels of expectations about parking on campus because they are used to the
availability of parking they had in high school, and the crowded lots at the University surprise them. The University has parking rules students need to be aware of, as well as different parking options to fit students' preferences.
Students who have evening activities on campus can buy a parking permit for the east parking garage next to the Kansas Union that's valid until 7 a.m.

The permit costs $5 if a student already has a valid permit and $45 if a student does not. "Instead of paying $1.50 an hour it will quickly add up to the same cost," Hultine said. The cost of parking in both campus garages rose from $1.25 to $1.50.

If you are someone who comes and goes during the day, Hultine said to get the yellow zone permit, which is valid in multiple lots around campus, because you are more in control of your situation.
Lauren Shelly, a senior from Oak Park, Calif., originally had a yellow permit, but switched to Park and Ride because it was more convenient.
"No buses seem to stop where the yellow passes are so you have to walk really far," Shelly said, "and there's not always spots in the yellow lots."
If a student gets a ticket that doesn't seem fair and can be fixed, such as getting a ticket for having a valid permit in the wrong spot, Hultine said it could be considered a "fit it ticket." Students have two business days to go to the Parking and Transit Department and have the department take care of the ticket.
Students can purchase parking permits for the 2012-2013 academic year by going to the services tab in the Kyou portal.

Inmates claim assault, sue for $20 million
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. — Jail inmates who claim they were sexually assaulted by a deputy are seeking $20 million from Sedgwick County, alleging the sheriff did not heed warnings about the deputy's behavior.
Former jail deputy David Kendall, 21, faces 12 charges — 11 of them involving accusations of sex crimes that occurred between April and June. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday on charges that include sexual battery, criminal solicitation to commit unlawful sexual relations, aggravated criminal sodomy and misdemeanor sexual battery.
Attorneys for the inmates filed two notices of claims with the
county, which The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/M8apQJ ) obtained Monday after filing an open records request. Prosecutors say six inmates were assaulted, but it's not clear how many of the inmates are included in the claims because the names were redacted by the county.
The notices of claim with the county are a first step toward a possible lawsuit, the Eagle reported.
In the claims, the inmates accuse Sheriff Robert Hinshaw of negligence in hiring and retaining Kendall. They say Kendall was "permitted to work late at night as a roving deputy, where he was left alone with inmates, even after numerous sexual crimes against inmates and notice had been given to the sheriff that Kendall had engaged in illicit sexual conduct with an inmate."
Hinshaw said he couldn't comment because of the pending litigation and the ongoing criminal case.
In a court hearing in early July, Kendall's attorney, Chris O'Hara, attacked the inmates' credibility, saying they have been charged with or convicted of serious crimes and could be motivated by the potential to acquire money.
Kendall, who resigned in June,
is being held in a jail outside
Sedgwick County.

Enjoy fall events around town
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Football fans will head to Memorial Stadium on Sept. 1 at 6 p.m. to cheer on the Jayhawks as they begin the 2012 football season against South Dakota State. The first game is also the first game for new coach Charlie Wies.
MEGAN SOLLENBERG editor@kansan.com
School is back in session, but that doesn't mean your social life has to end. Lawrence plays host to dozens of fall events that are guaranteed to get your butt off the couch and slap the Pizza Shuttle right out of your hands. So grab a few friends and ditch your homework for a few hours this semester. Here are ten not-to-miss events in Lawrence this fall:
Lawrence Busker Festival
Hawk Hundred
Kristin Dierks, a senior from Prairie Village, couldn't believe she'd never heard of the Busker festival.
Circus freaks of the world unite at the fifth annual Busker Festival. Sword swallowers, contortion acts, fire dancers, street musicians and more will be stationed in downtown Lawrence from Aug. 24 to 26 at no cost to the public.
"I've lived here for four years and never been," Dierks said. "It sounds really weird and crazy, which is something my friends and I would totally like."
Performance schedules can be found at lawrencebukerkest.com.
Parker Reynolds, a senior from Olathe, said the marathon would be unlike anything he'd been a part of in Lawrence.
"I like to run around campus for fun, but the marathon at the lake sounds way more interesting." Reynolds said. "And an excuse for new pair of running shoes wouldn't hurt."
Put on your running shoes and jog down to Clinton Lake on Sept. 8 to participate in the first ever Hawk Marathon. You have the opportunity to participate in a 26.2., 50- or 100-mile trail race, and all are set on a 25 mile loop.
The races begin at 6 a.m. and will last a maximum of 32 hours. You can register online at ultrasignup.com with prices ranging from $70 to $140.
Lawrence Ghost Tours
Grab your diapers and head to the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Mass St., in downtown Lawrence to experience a supernatural side of the city. Haunted frat houses and cemeteries are just a few of the hot spots to be found on this two hour tour
beginning Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. for $17 a person. For a more detailed schedule, visit ghosttoursofkansas.com.
Take a break from Mrs. E's and hit up the oldest farmers market in Kansas. Open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays through mid-November, there is no reason to miss out on the freshest produce Lawrence has to offer. Another
Musical: 9 to 5
Theatre Lawrence, located at the intersection of 15th and New Hampshire streets, will be tackling Dolly Parton's hysterical musical, 9 to 5, on Sept. 21 through Oct. 7. Based on the 1980 movie of the same title, this tale of three women and their quest for control and romance is worth the $14 admission and a must-see this autumn. Purchase tickets online at thetrealrewrence.com.
33rd Annual Fall Arts and Crafts Festival
perk: they now accept debit cards.
Laura Smith, a junior from Minneapolis, is an avid Farmers Market attendee. "I try to go every Saturday. I love buying from local farmers," Smith said. "It's fun to just walk around and see what new things are being sold each week."
Hundreds of local vendors will set up in South Park for this Lawrence gem. Handmade goodies, art and more will be sold from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on September 9. Coupled with live music and plenty of food, this free event is the perfect reason to leave the dorms and explore the city.
Farmers Market
The market opens on Tuesdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Vermont St. between 10th and 11th streets, Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on 1121 Wakarusa Dr. and Saturds from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on New Hampshire between 8th & 9th.
9th Annual Light the Night
Help raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by creating a team and participating
in an evening walk at South Park,
1141 Mass St., on Oct. 6. Supporters,
survivors and those honoring
lost loved ones carry illuminated
balloons to "light the night." Festivities begin at 6 p.m. Visit lightthenight.org to register.
John Lithgow, Stories by Heart
Get up close and personal with "3rd Rock from the Sun" star, John Lithgow, in this one-man show at the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Ave. Lithgow's heartfelt and humorous memoir plays one night only, on Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for students run for $24 and can be purchased online at liedku.edu.

Many students don't realize they can receive discounts at retail stores, restaurants and recreational activities.
"I only know of the SUA student discounts, not much else," Tori Schmuz, a sophomore from Milwaukee said.
Ammara Siddiqi, a junior from Wichita, said she dines out three to five times a week, but didn't know about any student discounts. Saving a few extra dollars at restaurants might influence her dining habits.
"I'd probably frequent them more often," Siddiqi said.
Domino's, 832 Iowa St., offers a variety of deals and is a part of CampusSpecials.com.
Manager Andrew Bartlow said Domino's offers a special during the first two weeks of schools where students can get a medium pizza for $2.99.
Sam Thoenen, a junior from Jefferson City, Mo., enjoys eating at Dempsey's but didn't know they had specials.
"I have eaten there a decent
amount of times but wasn't aware they had half price burgers on Tuesday's." Theoenen said.
Theoen said he was more inclined to go now that he knows about the deal.
Charlotte Russe, a clothing store, gives 10 percent off all regular priced items if you have a student ID.
Other retail stores that offer discounts with a student ID include J. Crew, Ann Taylor Loft and Banana Republic.
There are also student discounts for recreational activities.
Alvamar Golf Course, 1800 Crossgate Drive, offers a student discount during the week on their 18-hole course.
With a valid student ID, students can play for $35, a discount of $10.
The website features coupons and a listing of local student discounts.
Robert Maupin, a junior from Lawrence, started FlavorsofLawrence.com with his wife, Heidi.
Maupin encourages fellow students to follow Flavors of Lawrence on Twitter (@flavolawrence), where specials are posted hourly.

For many students who had just graduated and use prescription medication may no longer be under their parents health insurance. This comes from President Obama's Affordable Health Care Act which was passed back in June.
How health care is changing in Kansas
25,000 young adults under 26 gained insurance coverage
313,085 people with Medicare received free preventative service or annual wellness visits
394 people previously denied coverage because of existing conditions are now insured

Obama's new health care plan might be controversial, but it could also be beneficial for students struggling to get health insurance.
VICTORIA PITCHER editor@kansan.com
Students often have troubles working out the details when it comes to getting various medical needs covered by insurance. The first week of July, not even two months after graduation, Stephanie Schremmer, recent grad from Cardwell, Mo., went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription. When she got to the pharmacy, they told her she wasn't able to buy the prescription on her dad's insurance
"It was frustrating; Schremmer said.
The full price of the prescription was only $11, fortunately.
While she was kicked off her parents' insurance
plan, a new federal mandate allowed her to get back on it, which has been helpful during her job hunt.
Schremmer said the mandate is positive in that students have more time on their parents' insurance, but she doesn't think it should be pushed on those who can't afford it.
"This is a news pullquote, it can be from 2 to 6 lines. This is a pullquote,it can be from 2 to 6 lines."
"We should regulate insurance companies instead of people," Schremmer said.
determining that the fine was actually a "tax," meaning the federal government has the power to enact it.
Individual mandate is considered to be the big fuss of President Obama's Affordable Health Care Act, which was upheld June 28 by the Supreme Court. For students, the mandate means they can stay on their parents' insurance until they are 26.
Richard Levey, a University professor in constitutional law, said that various provisions in the law also make health insurance more available and less costly.
"It's a massive, big, big deal."
Levee said.
Ashley Jimerson, a senior from Lawrence, is currently on her parents' policy. She said she thinks it's a good thing that the individual mandate was passed.
"Everyone should have the chance to have health care," Jimerson said. Jimerson graduates in December at the age of 22. If she is unable to find a job with health benefits, she can stay on her parent's insurance for another four years.
Individual mandate requires that everybody has health insurance, and if they choose not to have insurance, they are fined. The individual mandate was passed after
Ryan Neuhofel, doctor and owner of NeuCare Family Medicine, 346 Main St. in Lawrence, said the
SOMEBODY SOMEONE this is a job
health care reform,
which is 1,000 pages of provisions
and statues, is more about health insurance than it is about health care. Neuhofel's office does not go through third party insurance to bill
patients because he thinks dealing with insurance companies lowers the quality of care.
"I saw both doctors and patients were losing." Neuhofel said. About 60 to 70 percent of the patients Neuhofel treats are uninsured.
Neuhofel said doctors can build lasting relationships with patients when they don't have to worry about a patient's insurance changing and are no longer being covered.
Another provision in the mandate will prevent insurance companies from denying people with preexisting conditions.
Levey said the argument people had with the mandate was never a constitutional issue, but about the government moving toward a welfare state.
"This issue goes to heart on what kind of a society we live in," Levey said. On one side of the issue, society should take care of its individuals; on the other side, the individuals should take care of themselves.
Parts of the mandate will not go into effect for a couple of years. However, some of it, like the age 26 rule, will change immediately.

You're enjoying an evening hike in the woods. The sun is setting and the air is cool. You hear a soft rumble. You stop for a second, trying to remember tonight's weather forecast. You shrug it off as thunder, a distant storm. Hiking further, the rumble becomes louder, like it's headed directly towards you. Then the rumble becomes more like a roar. You hear voices. There is shouting, even snarling. Then, a group of nine or 10 people emerges, running and shouting. You duck behind a nearby tree. The light is low, but you can see capes, shields, and swords.
Yes, swords.
No. this isn't a hallucination.
You've just witnessed a LARP gathering and the running, shouting, shields and swords are all part of this intricate game that takes imagination to a whole new level.
"I like to describe it as King Arthur in the woods with a plastic sword," said Joe Bearden, KU alum and chapter director of Heroic Central, a LARP organization located in the Kansas City and Lawrence areas.
LARP is an acronym for "Live Action Role Play." It's a style of interactive gaming that can trace its origins to the late 1970s. Fans of tabletop role-playing games and fantasy films such as "Logan's Run" desired to take their appreciation of those imaginary worlds and recreate them in real life.
Its popularity has grown ever since, especially within the last decade and the release of "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy.
The oldest recorded LARP group is the United States-based organization, Dagorhir, founded in 1977. Its name originates from J.R.R Tolkien's Sindarin Elven language and translates as "Battle Lords." According to its official website, "To experience Dagorhir is to grasp at the unobtainable."
Some LARPs are historical, some are fantastical, and some are set in dystopian worlds of the future controlled by androids. There is clearly an appeal to every nook and cranny of the human imagination.
For Bearden, it's become a full-time job and passion. He began LARPing in 1992 and is currently
"For some people, it's just as simple as liking to fight. For other people, it's creating the character and seeing their character develop over time."
Bearden says participants are mostly college age, but can range anywhere from as young as 4 to working adults. He says its appeal can be different for everyone.
working on developing a LARP camp at a site near LaCygne, Kansas. He founded a local chapter of Heroic, a national LARP organization, in 2009.
Hines has been in involved with local LARP organizations for eight years. She maintains two full-time jobs that can sometimes conflict with weekend-long LARP events.
"LARPing is like my little Las Vegas. What happens in game, stays in game," said Hines.
For participants like Larisa Hines, LARP is a creative outlet and temporary escape from reality.
"I just tell people that I'm going camping with some friends if I don't think they'd understand it," Hines said.
Both Bearden and Hines are passionate about their characters, the land they inhabit, and the game. To those who don't know about it, LARP may sound strange. For them, however, it adds excitement and imagination when real life sometimes lacks.
"It's not something I'm afraid to tell people about," said Bearden.
For students who would like to experience LARPing firsthand, there are plenty of events in the upcoming months for them to attend.
"I'm a LARPer for life."
The swords, by the way, were made of foam.
A group from Shawnee known as the Kansas City Sword Fighting LARP has weekly meet-ups every Saturday at Antioch Park, 6501 Antioch Rd., Merriam, Kan. They encourage anyone interested to attend and gear is provided.
The next meet-up will be Saturday, August 18 at 1 p.m. A full schedule can be found online at: http://www.meetup.com/KC-Sword-Fighting-LARP-Amtgard/

Online tool helps students figure out how to handle loans
Student loan statements may seem like a hodgepodge of interest and principal numbers, but the U.S. Department of Education has launched a tool to help students manage loan debt.
Known as the Financial Awareness Counseling Tool, the online interactive website provides tutorials and resources on topics like FAFSA, loans and aid programs.
U. S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a news release that managing student loan debt is difficult and not easy to understand, which is why the Obama Administration has worked to find a way to not only educate students and parents, but also assist them along the way with the interactive site.
"This new tool will help bring
new transparency to the process of debt management on the front end and empower students to keep their school loan payments on track and on time after graduation," Duncan said.
-Roya Ibrahimi
Students can get to the site by going to http://studentloans.gov.
The Obama Administration will continue to enhance the site by releasing a model financial aid shopping sheet, which can help students keep track of scholarship, grant and loan money.

Board of Regents accepts tuition increase
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
editor@kansan.com
Freshman and super seniors will once again have to pay more tuition this fall.
Comparable Costs of Big 12 Conference
School In-State Tuition and Fees Out-of-state Tuition and Fees
Texas Christian University $34,590 $34,590
Baylor University $33,716 $33,716
University of Texas $9,792 $32,379
University of Kansas $9,222 $22,608

Iowa State University $7,486 $19,358
Oklahoma State University $7,418 $18,765
West Virginia University $5,674 $17,844
The Kansas Board of Regents, the state organization that oversees all Kansas public universities, approved the University's proposal to increase tuition and assign new standards for admission. Although current students in the tuition compact won't be affected by the increase, those going into a fifth year and incoming freshman will have to pay the increased amount. Standard tuition rates are set to rise by 4.9 percent for in-state students and 6.7 percent for out-of-state. Required fees for all students will also increase by 3.5 percent, which will come to $440.
Graphic by Dylan Derryberry Information from Collegeboard.com
"Tutition increases can be prohibitive for students who want to come to school, especially with the economy as it is, but we're also seeing cuts in state funding, so it's understandable," said Emma Halling, a junior from Marian. "We keep talking about how we want to bring business and economies to Kansas, so if we want that to be something other than manual labor, you have to invest in education."
"It has happened so many years in a row because we haven't seen
Student's voices are being heard though; this year's proposal was the lowest increase since 1999. The pitch to raise tuition was created by the Tuition Advisory Committee, which is made up of students, faculty and administrators at the University. Former Student Body President Libby Johnson, who picked the students on the committee, said that increased tuition is a necessity to continue to offer students the best services possible.
According to the proposal, the funds created by the increase in tuition will be used to enhance various areas of the University. Included in the proposal's list was a $1.1 million KU Tuition Grant to help students in financial need, provide funds to retain faculty and staff, and continue to improve technology on campus.
Tuition Advisory Committee member and recent KU graduate Julia Barnard said that a common trend among institutions is a 3 to 7 percent tuition increase each year, but the committee found this
"Those who are unhappy with the tuition increase should get involved not only with Student Senate, but also in local and state elections and vote
for candidates who will fund public education," Barnard said. "Tuition increases are direct responses to the budget cuts coming from the state."
yearly increase to be unsustainable. Barnard understood the financial burden tunen can have, but encouraged students to get involved with government to make a change.
The Regents also approved new, tougher standards for admission for incoming freshman. For automatic acceptance, students must have an ACT score of 24 (1090 SAT) with a
minimum 3.0 high school GPA or a score of 21 (980 SAT) with a 3.25 GPA. The current requirements for admission are a 21 on the ACT, rank in the top third of their class, or have a 2.0 GPA.

Most of us have a set routine when we arrive on campus. Perhaps it's a morning stop at Wescoe Beach, a coffee break at Watson, and lunch at the Underground. From there, you bid campus farewell and are on your way.
"Honestly, I can't really think of many places that aren't already known," said Zach Helmstead, a senior from Marion, Kansas. "We're not really told much."
The next time you're ready to head home, consider visiting some of these lesser-known places on campus. You might be surprised what you find there.
Danforth Chapel: Located on a grassy knoll between Fraser and Spooner Halls, this chapel on Lilac Lane has been the centerpiece of almost 5,000 weddings since its formal dedication on April 2, 1946.
T According to the KU History Project, German WWII POWs were used to construct the chapel.
When classes are in session, students are welcome to stop by for "individual meditation" from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
"The Shack": This small limestone building located on 11th St just east of the Triangle Fraternity, is more affectionately known as "the Shack" to those who have worked in it.
It has housed everything from the campus radio station, KJHK, to Jayhawkers hiding from Quantrill's Raiders in 1863. They burned down the house that went with it, said Mike Reid, director of the KU History Project.
"That shack is one of the oldest buildings in the region, not just the campus,' Reid said. "Not a lot of people know that."
Butterfly Garden: If you've ever had a class on West Campus, you may be familiar with Foley Hall's butterfly garden, 2021 Constant Avenue.
Open to the public Monday-Friday, the butterfly garden is the brainchild of Chip Taylor, a professor with the departments of ecology and evolutionary biology.
Weaver Courtyard: Located on the south side of Spooner Hall, this small courtyard usually stands behind Spooner's gates, invisible to
passersby.
Spooner Hall is the oldest campus building still in use, Reid said.
Named for Arthur D. Weaver, of Weaver Department Store fame, this courtyard contains four sculptures created by Kansas City sculptor Richard M. Hollander.
Have a seat on one of the shaded benches and check out the view from the top of 14th Street.
Malott Plaza and Memorial Garden: Have you ever taken a look at the garden and trees you pass by on a quick stroll between Wescoe and Anschutz? Though known as a gathering spot for many students during the fall and spring, few are aware of what is planted there.
The plaza is dedicated in honor of Chancellor Deane Mallott's wife Eleanor. She had a love of crabtrees, and at her urging, the Class of 1945 dedicated 1,000 of them to the campus, some in this plaza. The garden also includes sage, barberry, peonies, daffodils, chrysanthemums, and spirea trees.
Vietnam Memorial: In May 1986, KU became the first university in the country to erect an on-campus memorial to students killed or missing in the Vietnam War. The memorial is on Memorial Drive. The memorial contains 57 names of former students and alumni.
This sculpture was designed by Richard Hollander in 1970 and
Interstate Highway 70 Sculpture: Check out this sculpture, located in Marvin Grove between Bailey Hall and the Spencer Art Museum, and come to some conclusions about your commute on I-70.
Pioneer Cemetery: You may have stumbled upon this cemetery walking from the Lied Center to Daisy Hill. Many don't know about it, though it's hiding in plain sight, and has graves from before the Raid, Reid said...
The University purchased the land it sits on in 1953. Throughout the years it has fallen in and out of disrepair, but a project in 2009 included repairs to some of the ironwork and graves.
With summer making some afternoons under the sun unbearable, visit the cemetery at night for full enjoyment.
purchased by the University in 1981. It's very shady, perfect for a picnic.
Audio-Reader Sensory Garden: Located on the grounds of the Baehr Audio-Reader Center at 1120 11th Street, this off-campus space is designed to be enjoyed by all, including the blind and handicapped.
The Owl on Spooner Hall:
Take a stroll by Spooner Hall and try to find this owl, engraved in a small niche on the gable of the building. Its origins aren't clear, but it's believed to have been a touch of Spooner's architect, Henry van Brunt. Known as a symbol of wisdom, the owl complements the statement on the building's portico, "Whoso findeth wisdom findeth life." Remember that when you're walking up 14th Street.
Edited by Megan Hinman
Maintained completely by volunteers, the garden is free and open to the public. Don't forget to feel the Lamb's Ear, the plant.
"It's not just a beautiful garden. We have wind chimes, babbling brooks, it's meant to be a sensory experience," said Brenda Berg-Dyck, director of the garden.

Shortcuts: Keep comfortable on campus
ROYA IBRAHIMI editor@kansan.com
Have you ever caught yourself wishing for a shortcut to get to class on time, or some way to walk in an air-conditioned building in the summer or a heated building in the winter to class? Well, there are two places on campus that are often overlooked, but worth the discovery during your college career.
If you are taking classes in Malott and Haworth, you do not need to walk outside of onebuilding to get to the other. There is a walkway that connects the two buildings together, saving you time and keeping you cool or warm, depending on the season.
Recent graduate Kanwar Singh, from Leawood, says it is not only convenient for him time-wise, it's also relaxing at times.
"I would take the elevator up to the fourth floor of Haworth and walk across the bridge towards Malott in a matter of minutes; I could get to any of my classes in those buildings without having to step outside, which is extremely convenient when it is very cold or very hot on campus;" Singh said. "I enjoy my bridgewalk every time because it has a very nice view of campus."
This tunnel leads to the Kansas Union, Spencer Art Museum and Mississippi Street. It is located on the north side of Spencer Art Museum.
If you do not have classes in either of those buildings then get ready for the shortcut that many have overlooked: The Kansas Union Tunnel.
Wichita senior Ammara Siddiqi says she heard about it only because she had a class at Spencer.
Students who have discovered the tunnel have walked through it out of curiosity while others try and avoid weather and beat the clock.
"I heard about it after I transferred to KU and had a class my first semester at KU in Spencer," Siddiqi said. "I opted to use it during January as a way to avoid the snow. The tunnel was cool, damp and dark and since discovering it, I would say I've been through it at least 20 times or more."
While some use these shortcuts for ways to dodge weather and get to class on time, others look at it as an adventure.
Fairfield, Iowa senior Maria Juarez was on a walk when she came across the tunnel, but remembered feeling disappointment at the end of
The entrance to the parking lot.
"I remember feeling a strong sense of adventure," Juarez said. "Even though I had deduced that I wasn't discovering this tunnel for the first time, the cleverness of its location excited me. Once I reached the Union, I reflected on its purpose. Did they put this here because they were lazy? Was somebody trolling us? Who built this? Why did they build it? I felt confused. It didn't lead to a trove of Kansas-related treasure—only the Union. In the end, my emotions went from excitement to wonder to contemplation to confusion to disappointment."
When classes begin and you are running a bit behind schedule, check out these quick and adventurous shortcuts that will help get you to class on time and acquaint you to your buildings architecture. So next time a friend is complaining about weather, being late to class or just plain bored, tell them about the overlooked jewels:Shortcuts.
Students can take the walkway located between The Spencer Museum and The Union to save some time while also staying indoors.

The initiative kicked off Thursday with about a hundred volunteers from six fraternities canvassing the Oread neighborhood with welcome bags. Volunteers, paired with city representatives, placed 2,000 bags on doorsteps with city ordinance information ranging from bike parking and house party protocol.

Beak 'Em Bucks valuable off campus
DYLAN DERRYBERRY editor@kansan.com
The University monetary system Beak Em' Bucks may not exist in an actual paper currency, but the ID card-based financial account can be used around campus and at more than 45 off-campus vendors including Dominios Pizza, CVS Pharmacy and Bigg's BBQ.
"We see a lot of students use their ID cards to pay throughout the school year," said Tim Drinnen, manager of Bigg's BBQ. "It helps the students out and gets them to eat here, so it's a great program to be a part of."
For some, Beak 'Em Bucks offer a quick way to easily purchase food and services on and off campus, but others see them as a necessity. Kate Sutphen, a junior graphic design student from Ankney, Iowa said that she has to have Beak 'Em Bucks to print in the art and design building labs, so her ID card constantly needs to be stocked up.
Jeinny Venzor, a recent graduate from Shawnee, said that Beak Em' Bucks were useful when she was a little short on cash.
"The money on my card my dad pays for with my tuition," Venzor said. "So he doesn't really know he's buying me Chipotle and Pizza Shuttle, among
others."
While Venzor's sneakiness may have gone unchecked, graduate student Bryan Morgan, from Wichita, said he uses Beak Em' Bucks, but his parents can sleep easier knowing that their son isn't getting into trouble with their money.
"I use them to buy lunch on campus because it's cheaper and you can't just show your student ID, you have to use the Bucks," Morgan said. "It's also a way for parents to make sure their kids don't buy booze or cigarettes, or drugs with the money they send."
"I've talked to a lot of parents and I think that the biggest thing they like about it is it's not a credit card, so they can control how much money is going in and see where the money is being spent," Miles said. "It gives parents confidence and reassurance that their student isn't going to get into financial trouble."
This parental control is a reason why many parents choose to send money via Beak 'Em Bucks versus another bank account. Director of the KU Card Services Nancy Miles said that the declining balance account protects from overdraft fees and is a good way to get students started with finances.

Credit cards can cause some confusion
VICTORIA PITCHER
editor@kansan.com
Two years ago Meagan Patryzkont, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., got her first, and only credit card to buy a MacBook, because her previous computer crashed.
"The thought of a credit card scared me." Patryzkont said.
Many students, however, are not as responsible with credit
cards. Leticia Gradington, program director for student money management services located on the third floor of the Kansas Union, said most freshman students come into college with two or three credit cards already.
Calvin Froggate, a senior peer educator for student money management, said students don't know how to manage debt, and credit card companies know they can make money off of them.
"They are easy targets, because they want free shirts and free sunglasses to get cards," Froggate said.
Patryzkont was offered no interest for a year and the minimum payments were only $15 per month, what Patryzkont said was doable for her. Patryzkont said she always pays more than the minimum, which is why she is almost done paying the credit card off. The laptop was the only charge she has put on the card since she opened it.
In 2010, new credit card laws went into effect that made credit card companies unable to flood campuses handing out credit cards to students. Graddington said it's good to establish credit while in college, but that students need to use it wisely.
to myself that I can pay this thing off, I'm not going to swipe that card," Patryzkont said.
"You have to understand what a
"Until I pay it off, until I prove
credit card is," Gradington said.
Gradington said students need to understand what they are signing up for and have a plan on how to pay it off. Student money management services offer credit debt counseling for students. Services are free for students and are confidential.

Credit cards are sometimes intimidating to students and attract an negative image. In 2010 a new law went into effect where credit card companies could not hand out cards to students on campuses.

Obama may have link to first slaves in U.S.
SALT LAKE CITY — A team of genealogists has found evidence that President Barack Obama could be a descendant of an African slave but not through the lineage of his black father, the most likely route researchers had followed and exhausted.
The link, genealogists with Ancestry.com said Monday, is, in fact, through an examination of his white mother's family history.
"We were surprised and excited to make that connection," said Joseph
Obama's father was from Kenya and his mother was from Kansas. It had been generally assumed that the president had no slave ancestors because researchers couldn't find it through the lineage of his father. However, no one had yet performed any exhaustive research into the lineage of his white mother, who turns out to have a mixed-raced family history.
Shumway of Ancestry.com.
Ancestry.com now said the maternal line traces back to one of the first documented African slaves in the U.S.

KANSAS ROAD TRIP
These 10 prairie places might surprise you.
ROYA IBRAHIMI editor@kansan.com
Lucas Toilets
Garden of Eden
After taking a pit stop to look at the artsy public toiletts, check out the Garden of Eden, also in Lucas. The sculptor, Samuel Perry Dinsmoor built this log cabin in the 1900s and created sculptures that represented and reflected his religious and political beliefs.
Lucas Toilets
Rarely is taking a road trip rest stop as interesting as when it's in Lucas. This town of less than 500 is known for its artsy public toiletts. The men's toiletts are made up of toy cars and other knick-knacks. So next time you're on a road trip and need to take care of business, stop by Lucas, KS and be entertained.
Center of the U.S.
Most people know that Kansas is the heart of the states, but do you know where the precise center-point of the U.S. is? It's a small town called Lebanon, Kan. Its population, according to the 2010 census, is 218. Take a trip there and boast later to friends and family that you were at the center of the U.S.
Rocks and Castle Rock
You can see rocks anywhere in Kansas, but Gove County's rocks are unique because they form a castle-like structure. This place is a National Natural Landmark. Not only will you see these rocks, but you may even notice fossils or run into wild animals, like a black-tailed jackrabbit.
Greensburg’s Big Well
Many people travel far and long to see magnificent architecture and places built by man. Did you know that you could witness the world's largest hand dug well here in Kansas? Drive down to Greensburg, KS to get a tour of the 109 feet deep and 32 feet wide hand dug well.
The Flint Hills
Next time you head towards Manhattan, take a detour and check out the not-so-flat prairie. The Flint Hills are nationally known for their wildflowers and scenery. Fun fact: The Flint Hills were in the April Underground Tunnel
Stop by Ellinwood to tour the underground tunnel. This tunnel is known as the "late-19th century man cave" because of what it held and whom it catered to. Places like a harness shop, a barbershop and a bathhouse where women known as "soiled doves" entertained male travelers as they cleansed themselves and their clothes line the streets of the untouched tunnel.

Largest Ball of Twine
If you've ever wanted to see something that continues to grow, take a trip to Cawker City and check out the World's Largest Ball of Twine. When you visit the small town and the large attraction, make sure to ask the shop owner for twine so you can add to the ball. The ball is more than 50 years old and still growing.
Tallgrass Brewing Co.
If you're in Manhattan and you're looking for a beverage, try Tallgrass Brewing Co. The brewery offers a selection of beers, all in cans. They don't bottle their beers in an effort to be more environmentally friendly. The company also finds canning to be better for the flavor of the beer, v...ich they believe can be tainted by bottling.
The Starlight Theatre
The Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, Mo. is known for hosting theatrical shows, concerts, educational shows and much more. Niralee Parikh, a senior from Overland Park, says good plays are hard to find in the Midwest, especially in Kansas. "When good plays come by, I suggest people go check out the Starlight Theater for its open setting under the stars," Parikh said. "It's a really cool experience." On the Kansas side of the border, watch a play in Shawnee at Theatre in the Park. Upcoming shows include "Urinetown" and "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."

Adrenaline-inducing sports available here
Drop Zone Extreme Sports
PAINTBALL
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Drop Zone Extreme Sports Paintball is a favorite for many people who are looking for a different type of sport to play. The store has a number of paintball clothing and supplies.
JESSICA TIERNEY editor@kansan.com
Some students need more than a ball to keep a sport interesting. The adrenaline rush can only be realized with paintball guns, water-skis, or dropping out of an airplane 30,000 feet high.
Luckily, Lawrence and the metro area have plenty of options for these adrenaline junkies.
"Gliding on water with skis as shoes is much more exciting and requires more focus than running on the ground," said Mitch Favrow, a senior from Overland Park.
Favrow has been involved with waterskiing since he was a kid. He practiced at a family friend's lake house.
Although he is not involved with the KU Waterski Club, Favrow suggests that students interested in getting involved with the sport should consider joining the club team.
"Club sports are a great way to get to know other people with common interests," Favrow said.
KU Recreation Services currently
offers a wide variety of club teams for students to participate in. The offerings range from the standard baseball, swimming, and tennis to the more unusual, like Quidditch, scuba diving, and waterskiing.
"We get a pretty steady amount of young adults and college-age kids, and we offer a graduation special," Spade said.
The clubs typically have a fee to cover the costs of participation for one semester. Some clubs have tryouts while others are open to all skill levels.
For those looking for something outside of the University, there are local businesses that offer unconventional sports as well. Drop Zone Extreme Sports has a paintball park located just outside of Lawrence near I-70. The park is situated on 89 acres of various tournament fields and wooded ravines.
Scott Spade, sales manager at Drop Zone, says his clientele includes all ages, but college students make up a large portion of business.
For a rush of an entirely different sort, there is also the Lawrence chapter of CrossFit, started by two brothers. Thomas and Kyle Thatcher.
CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program that's used by police academies, martial artists, and the military to train its members into supreme shape. The program has become so popular within the last few years that many devotees have started their own chapters, like the Thatcher brothers.
"It gets a lot of the blood flowing in good places, sheds fat, and builds muscle. It's a test of how hard you push yourself," said Thomas.
Their CrossFit facility is located at 701 E.22nd Street. The introduction class is free and participants can then decide what kind of workout package they would like to buy.
For Favrow, the more extreme the sport, the better.
"Extreme sports are unique because the environment is typically natural," he said. "Things can change very quickly, requiring added skill and technique to stay safe."

FRESH FACES
VIRAJ AMIN

While the men's basketball team has a few familiar faces returning to the court, freshman will play a bigger role this season. Anrio Adams, Milton Doyle, and Andrew White discuss how they became Jayhawks and what they expect from their first season in Lawrence.
Anrio Adams
The decision for Anrio Adams to play basketball at the University of Kansas was easy for the freshmen from Seattle. The difficult part for Adams was becoming academically eligible in the last six months.
The 6-foot-3-inch guard attended three different high schools in Washington, and at one point was supposed to join St. Patricks (N.J.) his senior year but ended up finishing his high school career at Rainer Beach in Seattle.
"Hard work and dedication," Adams said. "It was on me if I wanted to be here or not. So I worked as hard as I could.
"The toughest part for me was politics. A lot of people that shake your hand you don't know are working against you. I didn't realize it until I went back home."
Adams, who prefers to be called 'Rio, is the godson of Bull Stewart, who is the father of former Kansas guard Rodrick Stewart.
Adams said Rodrick told him
about the family atmosphere at Kansas, how tradition rich the school was and, of course, about the passion of the fans in Lawrence.
"You can't really beat it," Adams said. "It's a basketball state, and this is where I wanted to be."
Rainer Beach has a long history of producing basketball talent, not only at the collegiate level but also in the NBA. Players such as Ryan Anderson, Doug Christie, Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson, Lodrick Stewart, Rodrick Stewart and C.J. Giles all came from Rainer Beach.
Kansas head coach Bill Self said Adams has a chance to be special.
"I really think Anrio, based on what we've been told and what we've seen, has a chance to be one of the very best ones to come out of there." Self said. "He's capable of being an elite guard."
Last season, Adams was named the Associated Press 3A state player of the year in Washington. Adams had offers from Arizona, Washington and Washington St. among other schools but committed to Kansas on Nov. 19.
"A lot of schools were involved in the Pac-12," Adams said. "I felt like I was a little bigger than the Pac-12. I mean, I didn't really want to stay home."
Adams will add depth to the Kansas backcourt and looks to be a prototypical combo guard in Self's offense.
"I think he can handle like a one, and he can score like a two," Self
Adams said all the hard work he has done off the court will only help him going forward.
said.
"I put a lot of emotion in the game because this is what I want," Adams said. "I love this game. It's gotten me this far. I'm hoping it continues to let me go further from here."
Milton Doyle
Incoming freshman guard, Milton Doyle, knew he wanted to play for Kansas.
Doyle, who de-committed from Florida International University after coach Isaiah Thomas was fired, re-opened his recruitment in the spring, but knew he wanted to play basketball in Lawrence even before taking an official visit.
"Basically I was sold before I came, knowing the history of Kansas." Doyle said. "Finally being here, I was able to put it together."
Doyle, a 6-foot-4-inch, 175 pound guard from Chicago, mainly played point guard in high school, but Coach Bill Self sees Doyle as a combo guard.
"I do think he can play some point," Self said. "I think there's a difference in being a point guard and being able to play some point. The way we play, whoever gets it brings it. Tyshawn (Taylor) wasn't a true point, at least the way we played. Elijah (Johnson) is not a true point. We've got a lot of combo guards. He'll be one of those combo guards."

Self said Doyle, who averaged 19 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals per game his senior season, could earn playing time this season.
"He is a good athlete, has great length," Self said. "He has to get stronger, which is natural for all freshmen. He probably has to get where his stroke is a little more consistent. We have minutes to be earned back there from a depth standpoint. He should provide us extra depth, no question."
Doyle said he was happy to be settling in Lawrence when he arrive in late June.
"It feels good to be here," Doyle said. "It feels good to finally workout, be around the team and be around the guys. They welcomed me in good. It felt like I was already a part of the team from the beginning."
Andrew White
Freshman Andrew White prides himself on shooting the ball. From Paul Pierce to Brandon Rush and more recently Xavier Henry, the 6-foot-6-inch small forward from Virginia looks to continue the lineage of great shooters in the small forward position.
While White says his strength is shooting the ball, he understands he still needs to work on parts of his game.
"I still need to work on creating my own shot, getting better footwork and just getting stronger for the next level," White said.
Senior Travis Releford will likely retain his starting spot at small forward, and freshman Ben McLemore could also see playing time at the 3. White says he will have to earn playing time heading into next season.
"I would hope I have an opportunity to earn some minutes; I don't want to make any promises," White said.
"I'm going to have to earn playing time in practice"
As the summer has heated up, so has the competition on the court. White says the upperclassmen have been pushing the young Hawks to get better every day.
"The competition during practice has been very intense, high speed and high energy." White said. "I think I have been handling it very well.
"The older guys don't take it easy on us and I wouldn't want it any other way because I want to progress and continue to get better."

DIAMOND FOR GOLD
KU track star Diamond Dixon achieved a dream running in the Olympics
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Diamond Dixon,donning U.S. Olympic team apparel and a gold medal draped around her neck spoke to reporters at the Anderson Family Football Complex on Wednesday about her experience in London.
Dixon ran in the semifinal heat of the 4x400-meter relay and received a gold medal for her team's first place finish in the final at the London 2012 Summer Olympics. She is the first female track runner in University of Kansas history to compete at the Olympics and is now the first female from the university to win gold. Dixon is also the only NCAA athlete who won a gold medal in a track event at the London Games.
At the press conference Wednesday, her blue Ralph Lauren jacket featured a patch over her heart that read "United States Olympic Team" circling an
American flag and the Olympic rings.
"It was nothing but an honor," Dixon said of representing her country in London. "There's so many people in the world that probably dream to go to the Olympics and me being one of the people to go and actually come out with a gold medal is amazing. It's a great feeling."
That feeling was something thatDixon had always dreamed of, and she worked hard to make it a reality. Dixon said she remembered a day of training when she ran up and down hills in the rain and wondered, "Why am I running track? I could pick any sport but this."
Through it all, Dixon stuck with track and achieved one of her goals. However, her dream of standing on the podium and singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" did not come true. Her gold medal was not available immediately after the event in London; it was not
given to her until she was back in the U.S.
Kansas track and field coach Stanley Redwine drove Dixon to Kansas City International Airport to get her medal from Tim Weaver, the relay manager for Team USA, who was on his way back from London. It was coach Redwine who finally placed the medal around Dixon's neck.
"It was a great moment for both of us," Dixon said. "It was something that we both accomplished."
personal record, she had hoped for a time under 50 seconds. But Redwine said he was proud of her for running a smart race.
Dixon said there is a love-hate relationship between she and Redwine because of the way he pushes her to always train harder. Redwine is never satisfied and believes Dixon can keep improving. However, Dixon said that after placing the gold medal around her neck, her coach showed a rare smile.
"He said I did awesome," Dixon said. "He said he was proud of me, and I love those words when he says them."
This time, it was Dixon who was not satisfied after the 50.15 second split time she ran in the semifinal relay. Although the time was a
As the only NCAA athlete in London to win gold in track, there is reason to believe that Dixon could qualify for the 2016 Olympics for her individual open event, the 400-meter, which Dixon said is her goal. She will also be a favorite at the NCAA Championship this year in the event.
"I just basically ran my heart out." Dixon said. "That's just how I run."
HAWK WEEK
There is still room for improvement, though. Redwine is never satisfied and neither is Dixon. But for now, she is happy.

Friday kicked off the first night of Hawk Week festivities for students. The night began with the SUA Rock Chalk Block Party at the Kansas Union where students could enjoy free food, bowling and check out the different clubs and organizations on campus.
For new KU students, Hawk Week is their first chance to adjust to college life.
"My first reaction when I walked into the Union was that there was a lot more people than I expected," sald Elizabeth Chaney, a freshman from Brownville, Tex. "I thought it was going to be lame, but it was actually really cool."
Friday Night Live followed the block party and gave students an opportunity to watch performances by student organizations.
Brittany Sawtelle, a freshman from Olathe said attending all of the weekend's events was tiring, but ultimately worth the effort.
"My roommate and I made a couple new friends, which was exciting." Sawtelle said. "It was a little overwhelming, but also really fun."
Saturday night was Traditions Night at Memorial Stadium. Students were taught the University's traditions such as Waving the Wheat, the Rock Chalk Chant and the Alma Mater.
"I've been really excited about all the events," said Michael Tahmasian, a freshman from Lenexa. "I feel welcome already after Traditions Night. I feel part of a community, a family"
Hawk Week is designed to allow
students to meet other incoming freshman and have a memorable first experience at the University. The events are run by several organizations, including SUA and the Office of First Year Experience.
"It's the first time students are introduced to the Union and SUA and what we do," Jenna Oltitsky, special events coordinator for SAU said.
Hawk Week continues until Sunday, Aug. 26. Weekend events include Super Service Saturday, an event that students can attend to volunteer in the community as well as on campus, and a religious organizations fair on Sunday.

Students learn to be 'good neighbors'
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
Maintaining a healthy coexistence with neighbors can be a challenge, especially between University of Kansas students and permanent Lawrence residents.
The initiative kicked off Thursday with about a hundred volunteers from six fraternities canvassing the Oread neighborhood with welcome bags. Volunteers, paired with city representatives, placed 2,000 bags on doorsteps with city ordinance information ranging from bike parking and house party protocol.
The Good Neighbor program, created in unison by the University and the city, aims to strengthen relations between students and residents by providing students with information about good citizenship.
"A big part of going to school is learning how to live on your own," said Joe Monaco, a spokesperson for the event. "We are providing just some basic information about how
to be polite, courteous, productive citizens in a community"
"This is the first in a set of many steps," said Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs at the University and a Good Neighbor co-creator. "We are extending an olive branch today, but it does not end here.
Brad Hess, a freshman from Wichita and Delta Upsilon Fraternity program volunteer, said he was impressed by the University's initiative.
"People really care more here," Hess said. "It makes me feel good. It just makes me feel safer and it feels nice to be joining that community."
Students can easily assume Lawrence has similar ordinances and policies as their hometowns, Monaco said.
The Good Neighbor program is the first to fortify the University's connection with the city.
While no immediate events are planned for the future, Monaco said the University will continue the initiative throughout the year

Candidates criticize Medicare policies
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney stops to talk with voters before attending a fundraising event on Saturday in Nantucket. Mass.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TREASURE ISLAND, Fla. — Showing no signs of letting up, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are doubling down on claims the other would threaten seniors' golden years.
Both campaigns sharpened their critique of the other's Medicare policies in recent days and planned to intensify them yet again on Sunday, as the already acrimonious race for the White House reached a new level. Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, on Saturday told seniors here on Florida's western coast that he sees parallels with Europe's debt crisis that cut seniors' benefits. He warned the same could happen right here at home.
Ryan has stood out in Washington for laying out tough spending choices that many lawmakers in both parties avoid. So it was almost inevitable that his selection as running mate would vault Medicare to the top of the campaign debate. But it isn't clear it will remain the top priority in an election that, to this point, has been a contest between Romney and Obama over who would be best for jobs and the economy.
Campaigning in New Hampshire, Obama said it is a sure thing that Romney would tear apart Medicare.
Medicare, the popular — though costly — health program for seniors, has become a flashpoint in the presidential race in the frenzied week since Romney picked Ryan as his vice presidential pick. Ryan, a deficit hawk and the House Republicans' chief budget writer, brought buzz to the ticket but also left Romney trying to explain to seniors that he would not take a wrecking ball to the program seniors see as a right.
Obama wasted no time reaching for the upper-hand on Medicare and his spokespeople were ready to take to the Sunday talk shows to plant doubts about what Ryan would do to seniors' programs in the name of balancing budgets. Romney's and Ryan's were at the ready, too, to point out Obama had shifted billions from the program to pay for Democrats' health care law.
"They've been trying to sell this trickle-down snake oil before," Obama told his audience in Windham. N.H. "It did not work then. It will not work now. It will not reduce the deficit, it will not create jobs. It's the wrong direction for America."
It's a familiar charge already,
On Saturday, Ryan accused
Obama of raiding the Medicare
"piggybank" to pay for his health care overhaul.
Ryan's proposal in Congress would encourage future retirees to consider private coverage that the government would help pay for through a voucher-like system, while keeping the traditional program as an option.
According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Medicare over time would spend thousands less per senior under the Ryan plan than under current policy. Critics say that would shift heavy costs to individual retirees. The government could always spend more than anticipated to meet changing realities, but at the cost of deeper deficits.
Obama countered that seniors shouldn't trust their golden years to Romney.
Speaking to donors who paid as much as $50,000 to have dinner with him, Ryan compared the United States with Europe, where a financial crisis has led to cuts in benefits for retirees.

Helicopter slams into mountain in Sudan, killing 32
KHARTOUM, Sudan --- A Sudanese helicopter carrying a government delegation crashed in a mountainous southern region on Sunday, killing all 32 people on board including a Cabinet minister, a former presidential adviser, two generals and a TV crew.
The delegation was travelling aboard a chartered helicopter to the volatile South Kordofan state to attend prayers on the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
The helicopter went down "due to harsh weather conditions" near Talodi, a small town about 650 kilometers (406 miles) southwest of the capital, Khartoum, state-run news agency SUNA said.
A Sudanese official said the aircraft slammed into a mountain just before it was to land in Talodi, as seasonal heavy rains in the region left the pilots with "zero visibility". The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to the media.
He said a search team that reached the site of the crash was having trouble identifying the victims as many bodies had been charred and torn to pieces.
The office of Sudan's President Oman al-Bashir released a list of all 26 passengers and six crew members who perished in the crash.
Minister of Endowment Ghadi al-Sadeq and a former adviser to al-Bashir, Makki Balayela, were on the list, as were the two generals and other officials. A four-member TV crew from Sudan's state television also died in the crash.
Sudan has a poor aviation safety record. In late 2010, a plane carrying 36 people crashed on landing in Sudan's western Darfur region, killing at least two people.
And in May 2008 — before South Sudan became a separate country — a plane crash in a remote area in the south killed 24 people.
Five years earlier, a Sudan Airways Boeing 737 en route from Port Sudan to Khartoum crashed soon after takeoff, killing all 115 people on board.

Somalian parliament to vote for new president
MOGADISHU, Somalia Members of Somalia's new parliament hold a vote to name a new president of the fledgling government on Monday, which marks the end of eight years of rule by a U.N.-backed leadership structure known as the Transitional Federal Government.
A committee tasked with the selection of the new parliament members released a list of the new 215-member parliament Sunday. The parliament will eventually have 275 members, but it currently has enough members to hold a vote for president by secret ballot.
Security has been tightened across the capital ahead of the vote with police and military troops patrolling the streets
The U.N. and other international partners helping the political process said Sunday that Somalia faces an unprecedented opportunity for greater peace and stability.
GLOBE
"The conclu-sion of
the Transition should mark the beginning of more representative government in Somalia," a statement from international partners, including the U.S. and EU, said. "Whilst Parliament remains a selected rather than elected body, it is essential that it cuts its ties with the past of self-interest and warlordism, and is populated by a new generation of Somali politicians, including the proper representation of Somali women."
Somalia devolved into anarchy in 1991 and hasn't had a fully functioning government since. But life has improved remarkably in Mogadishu over the last year, and the international community — if not Somali themselves — hold out hope that the new government will expand its powers and provide services to the country.

Hooliganism sentence spurs controversy
MOSCOW — Three punk rock-style activists who briefly took over a cathedral in a raucous prayer for deliverance from Vladimir Putin were sentenced to two years in prison for
hooliganism on Friday, a decision that drew protests around the world as it highlighted the Russian president's intensifying crackdown on dissent.
SHE'S SO NICE!
Madonna
condemned the prosecution of the three women, members of a band called Pussy Riot. Several countries, including the U.S., and even some Kremlin loyalists descried the verdict.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alekhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, were arrested in March after performing a "punk prayer" in
Christ the Savior Cathedral, dancing and high-kicking as they called on the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Putin, who was elected to a third term as Russia's president two weeks later.
Judge Marina Syrova ruled Friday that the band members had "committed hooliganism driven by religious hatred." She rejected the women's arguments that they were protesting the Russian Orthodox Church's support for Putin and didn't intend to offend religious believers.
Putin himself had said the band members shouldn't be judged too harshly, creating expectations that they could be sentenced to time served and freed in the courtroom. This, however, would have left the impression that Putin had bowed to public pressure, something he has resisted throughout his 12 years in power.

Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks makes a statement from a balcony of the Equador Embassy in London on Sunday. Assange called on United States President Barack Obama to end a "witch hunt" against the secret-spilling Wikileks organization.
WikiLeaks founder safeguarded in Ecuador, future unknown
LONDON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange urged President Barack Obama to end a so-called "witch hunt" against his secret-spilling website, appearing in public Sunday for the first time since he took refuge two months ago inside Ecuador's Embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden on sex crimes allegations.
The 41-year-old Australian, who has fought for two years against efforts to send him to Sweden for questioning over alleged sexual misconduct against two women, addressed several hundred supporters and reporters as he spoke from the small balcony of Ecuador's mission, watched by dozens of British police.
Praising Correa, Assange said "a courageous Latin American nation took a stand for justice," in offering him sanctuary, but did not refer to the Swedish allegations against him. Instead, he attempted to shift attention to what he claims are preparations in the U.S. to punish him for the publication by WikiLeaks of a trove of American diplomatic and military secrets — including 250,000 U.S. Embassy cables that highlight sometimes embarrassing
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa on Thursday granted Assange asylum and he remains out of reach of British authorities while he is inside the country's embassy. Britain insists that if he steps outside, he will be detained and sent to Sweden, by as law it must meet the obligations of a European arrest warrant.
"The United States must dissolve its FBI investigation. The United States must vow that it will not seek to prosecute our staff or our supporters," he said, wearing a formal blue shirt and red tie.
"I ask President Obama to do the right thing. The United States must renounce its witch hunt against WikiLeaks." Assange said, speaking from a first-floor balcony decorated with an Ecuadorian flag, standing just yards (meters) away from British police officers.
Assange and his supporters claim the Swedish case is merely the opening gambit in a Washington-orchestrated plot to make him stand trial in the U.S.
backroom dealings.
— something disputed by both Swedish authorities and the women involved.
A Virginia grand jury is studying evidence that might link Assange to Pfc. Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier who is awaiting trial on charges of aiding the enemy by passing the secret files to WikiLeaks. No action against Assange has yet been taken.
In purportedly targeting WikLeaks, the U.S. risks "dragging us all into a dark, repressive world in which journalists live under fear of prosecution," Assange said.
The White House declined comment Sunday, but on Saturday it said Assange's fate is an issue for Sweden, Britain and Ecuador to resolve.
Assange also urged the U.S. to release
"I think these allegations are just a way of getting to him," said Laura Matttson, a 29-year-old supporter from London who joined a raucous crowd outside the embassy. "Is it about the charges or is it about silencing Wikileaks?"
Manning, but said: "If Bradley Manning really did as he is accused, he is a hero, an example to us all, and one of the world's foremost political prisoners."
The WikieLeaks founder give no indication of how he believes the stalemate over his future may be resolved, though he said he hoped to be "reunited soon" with his two children.
South America's foreign ministers were to meet in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on Sunday at the host nation's request to discuss the case. On Friday, foreign ministers of the Organization of American states are to convene in Washington to discuss the standoff.
Assange claimed to have won support from a host of other Latin American, Central American and South American nations — including Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Argentina. However, Brazil and Colombia both insisted they haven't endorsed Ecuador's decision.
Former Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon, who is representing Assange, said Sunday that Ecuador could consider making an appeal to the International Court of Justice in the Hague to compel Britain to grant Assange safe passage out of the country.

Program pairs graduates with high-demand jobs

"The most important part of our program is that we're trying to stop the drain of essential services," said Program Manager Denton Zeeman. "We're trying to promote growth. The ultimate goal is to create jobs."
It started when RedTire director Wally Meyer met with economic development advisers in Goodland. As they explained the issue of how closing small-town businesses eliminate important services for people who live in the area, Meyer began to think of a solution. He and his team developed the program in 2009, tweaking it to perfection before releasing it this year.
The School of Business launched a new program to keep Kansas businesses running after their owners retire. The Redefining Retirement program matches companies in need of new management with graduates of Kansas universities looking to run their own business.
The long-term goal of the program is to expand the Kansas economy as another way for the University to give back to the state.
The RedTire has garnered national buzz, being the first program of its kind; more than a dozen businesses inquired during the first month alone. However, not every inquiry is accepted as the program has specific guidelines businesses must meet.
Specifically, RedTire looks for small or medium-sized businesses with annual sales of at least $750,000. The program also focuses on jobs in pharmacy, medicine agriculture and business industries. The board of advisers supervising the program then match interested candidates with businesses. The idea will create a management team consisting of the graduate in the needed field of study with a business student to create a financially successful business.
"This is really geared toward people in high-demand positions that are hard to replace," said Austin Falley, the school's Business Communications Coordinator.
"If you've graduated from a Kansas region institution and you want to run a small or medium-sized business, this is the program for you," Falley said.
In an effort to reallocate funding for the Bold Aspirations strategic plan, the University offered early retirement buyouts to some employees.

Coalition wants smoke-free casino
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City health advocates have started a new push to get smoking banned at area casinos, but it's not going to be an easy fight in a competitive industry with lots of financial clout.
Clean Air Metro KC, a loose coalition of groups that include the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association of Kansas City and county health departments, wants all of metropolitan Kansas City to be smoke free.
The Kansas City Star reported group members have been meeting with casino representatives and elected officials to urge them to support changes to state laws that allow smoking to continue on casino floors.
"I don't think people realize casinos still allow smoking. We want to get it on the radar," said Joyce Morrison, spokeswoman for Clean Air Metro KC. "Our message to casinos: Smoke-free casinos are inevitable. We want to be able to have a conversation with you instead of fighting it out in legislative hearings."
The casino companies, however have waged a furious fight to make their facilities one of the last bastions for public smoking in the Kansas City area.
2
Local health advocates said some of the biggest victims of smoking in casinos are employees who are exposed to secondhand smokers every day.
Some casino workers have sued their employers, alleging that secondhand smoke was causing sore throats, dizziness, tightness in the chest and other symptoms.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sylvester Stallone and his beefy buddies have muscled their way to the top of the weekend box office.
Stallone's action hero roundup "The Expendables 2" debuted at No.1 with $28.8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That's down from the $34.8 million start for "The Expendables" two years ago.
The Lionsgate sequel elbowed out another action tale as Universals "The Bourne Legacy" fell to No. 2 in its second weekend with
$17 million. That was a steep 55 percent drop from its $38.1 million opening weekend, though the movie's domestic total climbed to a solid $69.6 million.
Focus Features' animated comedy "ParaNorman," about a boy leading the fight against zombies that rise from the grave, was No. 3 with $14 million.
Since the first weekend of May, revenues total $3.9 billion, down 5 percent from last summer's, when Hollywood finished with an all-time high of $4.4 billion.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Arlene (married 21-4-7) You know how to work well with others, yet you prefer to remain the dominating influence. You might believe a situation is evolving in this same manner. Don't be surprised if the other party follows through on his or her need to assume control. Tonight: Sort through the possibilities, then decide.
Taurus (Apri 20-May 20)
Pace yourself, and try not to react to a somewhat surprising event or piece of news. Give yourself time to adjust and internalize the information at hand. Schedule a stressbuster if possible. You will want to indulge a loved one. Tonight: Your treat.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Allow your imagination to infuse relationships and events with more excitement or intrigue. You tend to add interest and a new dimension to any project. Others appreciate your originality and will ask for your feedback. Tonight: Add more fun to a situation.
You could see a personal matter quite differently from others -- so much so that you might feel unsure of certain past judgments. In the next few weeks, you could revisit past decisions and choose to change them. It is important to remain confident. Tonight: Happily head home.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Listen well, and understand what is going on behind someone's words. You grasp more than you are willing to deal with right now; however, it does serve you well to get to the root of an issue. Much more caring flows between you and someone else as a result. Tonight: Talk up a storm.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Be sensitive to your budget. You might want to deal with a loved one differently. You do not always have to say "thank you" in a materialistic manner. Consider your other options. You might want to see where a friend is coming from. Listening does not necessarily mean you agree. Tonight: Maintain your budget.
You are all smiles. The unexpected excitement that a quirky friend generates helps keep your interest. Understand what is going on behind this person's erratic behavior. Listen to your inner voice and let it guide you. Avoid a difficult family member. Tonight: As you like.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Realize what is going on behind the scenes. What is being expressed openly might be hiding a different agenda or problem. Also, evaluate your own actions in a difficult situation. Are you being as clear as possible? Tonight: Not to be found.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
You are in a position to transform or walk away from a difficult situation. A meeting could prove to be instrumental. Excellent communication, combined with high energy and drive, allows you to start down the path to realizing a certain desire. Tonight: Find your pals.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Take charge, and understand that others might be slightly resentful or envious of your leadership abilities; they wish they could handle problems as effectively as you do. Be gracious, and do not cop an attitude. Still, don't indulge others too much. Tonight: In the limelim.
Aguarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Reach out for someone at a distance. The unexpected plays a role in your plans. There could be miscommunication out of the blue. Curb a tendency to go to extremes or be reactive. Listen to news with a grain of salt. Tonight: Act on some fun idea that has been on the back burner.
A partnership or several key relationships dominate your plans and ideas. You could be overwhelmed by everything you have to do. Share some of the burden by asking for help. Let others pitch in. You will be much happier with a lighter load. Tonight: Indulge a roommate or family member.

Men vie for top model ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — After more than 40 continuous years on the air, "The Price Is Right" is ready for a major change. It's starting a search for its first ever male showcase model.
That's right men finally will have a chance to wear tight clothing and display floor waxes, pool tables and Jet Skis alongside women.
As in the rest of the competition shows on the air, the contestants will have to participate in a series of modeling related challenges and in each episode one will be eliminated by the panel of judges. Who can showcase that refrigerator best?
The hunt for the show's first male model will take the form of a competition Web series that will run on PriceisRight.com and the show's YouTube channel in late September.
Instead of leaving just one winner, the Web series will produce six finalists. Then it's up to viewers to determine the winner. The winner of that online vote will earn a weeklong stint modeling on the game show starting Oct. 15.
Currently, the show has four female models showing off the prizes for host Drew Carev.

Did you know there's a part of the brain named after Mizzou? It's the hippocampus.
This university needs a Hyphy Club
Apparently, there were 92 reasons not to vote in student elections last April. But you, the student, are losing because of it.
Campus politics rely on students
Compared to 20 percent in 2011, only 8 percent of the student body voted for this year's Student Senate. The result was a sweep for one student coalition last April. KUnited.
But that's not the problem. The problem is that KUnited's flawless victory came with no serious opposition or discussion.
ways that promote your organization in Senate affairs and use the tools that Senate provides organizations. Recently, the Senate helped set up advertising and graphic design services. The more senators help you, the more they get to know you.
You may not care about Student Senate. But with the election of a one-party government, the effect of students' inaction at the polls could have a profound impact in the student services you enjoy on campus.
That senate controls SafeBus routes, whether your student fees increase next year, if your extracurricular club or organization gets any funding and so much
more. Unlike anytime before, there will be no organized coalition pushing back against KUnited to be accountable to students. Now, Senate is KUnited.
The Kansan believes that KUNited is diverse and will be honest and steadfast in its goal to represent all students, protect their rights and improve their lives on campus. But the Senate has lost the partisanship that sparks discussion and new ideas that would have helped better serve those duties.
It's not KUnited's fault. Many members of last year's RenewkU coalition members merged with KUnited, creating a super-coalition. And Senatus Populus Qua Remenus, a five-member toga clad coalition running for Senate seats in April, focused more on exposing the flaws of government and poking fun at KUnited instead of seriously helping students.
FORM A NEW COALITION
The lack of competition is a main reason why the Kansan didn't endorse any coalition for the election. For the sake of the Senate, there needs to be another voice in student policy besides KUnited, and this is how it happens.
VOICE YOUR CONCERNS
If you think something on campus is unsatisfactory, unfair or doesn't work to the student body's benefit, talk to your student senator. Better yet, go to one or more bi-weekly Senate committee meetings and help the Senate understand your perspective. The 8 percent of students that voted does not give the senators a mandate to make decisions without reaching out to you. But you have to help them. Talk—they do listen.
INVOLVE YOUR ORGANIZATION
Factions will form, and may have already formed within KUnited. As the fall semester continues, KUnited members who share common visions for the future should find ideas that differ from the mainstream coalition and promote them by preparing to run for the 2013-14 Senate on a separate ticket. We don't suggest this as a directive to unseat KUnited, but rather to restore debate and renew the importance of Senate for the student body.
Whether you're a part of a student club, residence group or academic association, Senate decisions affect you. Find

Tips for freshmen
I am not a therapist. I have no experience in therapy or counseling. Please use the links below for more information about my practice.
By Katherine Gwynn kgwynn@kansan.com
To all the freshmen currently floundering about campus trying to figure out how to get to your 500 plus person lecture or how to navigate the buses or how to attempt making friends with the other equally confused freshmen around you—I've been there.
Just a year ago, actually, which is a short enough span of time that my arrival at KU is still fresh in my mind. I was a freshman who knew basically nothing. You are a freshman who knows basically nothing. However, you have the benefit of having someone who's been through their freshman year (that would be me) to give you a few pointers. Because honestly, I think you need some advice, and I'm just narcissistic enough to believe my advice is pretty spoton. Here's what you, a brand-shiny new freshman, attending the wonderful University of Kansas, should know:
DON'T JUST HANG OUT WITH
YOUR FRIENDS FROM HIGH
SCHOOL
It's going to happen and there's nothing you can do to stop it. It's OK, you'll be sharing an experience with all students at the University who have a class in this strange, parking garage style-esque building.
Some of you will have come knowing no one. Some of you will come with the majority of your graduating class. To the latter—meet some new people. I know you might be super close with your high school buds or just ever so slightly terrified at the concept of trying to engage in conversation with people who are basically strangers on a campus of a few thousand and so. But there are pretty awesome people outside of the world of high school, so you really owe it to yourself to, you know, meet those people.
YOU WILL GET LOST IN WESCOE AT SOME POINT
YOUR MAJOR WILL PROBABLY CHANGE. PLEASE STOP PANICKING ABOUT THIS FACT
Did you know the average college student changes their major three times? Did you know that this statistic actually doesn't stop most people from going through a quarter-life
crisis when they want to change the major that they most likely picked because it either sounded cool, or their parents wanted them to, or it's one that supposedly makes money. Here's the thing—when you actually get to take the classes that your major requires, sometimes you find you don't like those classes. Which means you might not like your major. Which means you most likely won't like the career path that major will lead you to. So don't feel bad about not being 100 percent certain about what you want to study. Better to question and change now than get stuck with a degree and job you'll hate.
AT SOME POINT, YOU MIGHT NEED TO SIT IN CLASS OR EAT IN THE DINING HALL ALONE.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE WORLD,
LEARN HOW TO DO YOUR OWN LAUNDRY
Young adults have some serious issues with the idea of being solitary in public locals even for short periods of time. You may think that when you grab a salad from Mrs. E's without someone attached to your hip, the world stops and says, "Oh my god, why are you alone, do you have no friends?" The reality is that the world doesn't care. So neither should you. Get comfortable doing things by yourself.
If you came to college not knowing this basic life skill, call a parent or a great-aunt or a half-sister and ask. Google some step-by-step videos. Ask your roommate. Ask Dan the Bus Driver. I don't care how, just learn to do it already.
GO TO A BASKETBALL GAME AT SOME POINT THIS YEAR
I shouldn't even have to mention this—but seriously. Even if you think you don't like basketball, not liking a KU Basketball game is like not liking kittens. Kittens that can dunk basketballs.
I stole this line from a professor here at the University who I got to know very well last year. And while I don't want to encourage plagiarism, I think she'd be okay with this instance as she's all about helping students. And you are a student now. You made it this far, so you're doing something right. Take a minute to appreciate that See? It'll be fine.

Paul Ryan heading for policy criticism
In choosing his running mate, a presidential hopeful seeks to find someone that fits their campaign message.
However, they must also work well with the candidate and compliment the candidate without taking the attention away from "the talent" – which in this case is the name at the top of the ticket. By picking Paul Ryan as his running mate, it is clear that Mitt Romney is committed to making this an election about the economy, jobs and the nation's budget. However, by picking someone so derisive, it's a gamble that will either pay dividends or will likely throw the balance toward President Obama.
For most Americans, Paul Ryan is known as the chair of the House Budget Committee who introduced his fiscal policy in an April 2011 plan called "The Path to Prosperity." With this budget plan, the representative from Wisconsin, who now in his seventh term, put himself on the American political map as a staunch fiscal conservative.
In that plan, Representative Ryan proposed privatizing Social Security, replacing Medicare with a voucher program for those now under the age of 55 and turning Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps) into block grants to the states. By privatizing Social Security, Ryan's plan provides
workers now under the age of 55 a choice of private plans competing alongside the traditional fee for service option on a newly created Medicare Exchange. Medicare would provide a premium payment to either pay for or offset the premium of the plan chosen by the senior citizen.
Immediately after its release, the Ryan plan was criticized by the usual suspects. According to a New York Times/CBS poll conducted in April 2011, 61 percent of Americans thought Medicare was "worth the cost" making it politically risky to implement the plan. As with any potential change to America's transfer payment programs, the Ryan budget met with stamina opposition from the elderly. But therein lies the problem. Social Security is a careening locomotive, about to fall off a cliff. The status quo will soon become an untenable fiscal outlay for our nation's budget.
If we don't take action akin to the Ryan plan, we'll be left without any sort of elderly or low income assistance. Instead of putting off the problem, as so many other politicians have, it took personal fortitude by Romney's new vice president candidate to reach some sort of potential solution. However, you can bet on the fact that in the coming weeks and months, President Obama and democrats will paint Paul Ryan as a ideo-
By Billy McCroy

And this is why Romney's pick is one that will either make him or break him. A vice president usually doesn't win many undecided votes, but the wrong pick can sure sink the campaign. Look at Governor Palin four years ago as an example.
logue; Ryan will be vilified as an uncompromising, heartless conservative who sought to take away granny and grandpa's money.
But isn't Obama an ideologue? Weren't American voters well-aware of his plan to pass the largest overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system since Medicare and Medicaid were created in 1965? It's a fair bit of hypocrisy when people criticize Romney for his tendency to switch positions, calling him a flip-flopper, while at the same time calling Paul Ryan an ideologue for taking a firm stand on his policy positions.

Royals continue hot streak
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeremy Guthrie flirted with a no-hitter, Salvador Perez drove in three runs and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2 on Sunday to complete a three-game series sweep of the AL Central leaders.
Paul Konerko reached on an infield single with two out in the seventh for Chicago's first hit. Shortstop Alcides Escobar fielded Konerko's grounder on the outfield grass and his one-hop throw was dropped by first baseman Eric Hosmer.
Official scorer Del Black ruled it a hit and the Kauffman Stadium crowd of 22,401 loudly booed when the "H" was flashed on the scoreboard.
"The shortstop was on the grass," said Black, who has been scoring Royals games since 1975. "He had to make a backhanded stop and he was off balance. It's a tough play from that deep. He makes that play a lot, but it's a tough play."
Both runners scored when Wise's hard grounder went between the legs of Hosmer and rolled to the right-field corner, tying it at 2.
The White Sox collected two clean hits off Guthrie in the eighth when Dayan Victoire and Ray Olmedo singled with two outs. Manager Ned Yost then summoned left-hander Tim Collins to face Dewayne Wise.

runs in 7 2-3 innings, allowing three singles, walking one and striking out four.
The Royals regained the lead with three runs in the bottom half. Billy Butler led off with a walk and was replaced by Jarrod Dyson, who swiped second for his 23rd stolen base in 26 attempts and scored on Perez's single to center off Jesse Crain (2-2).
Mike Moustakas walked and scored on a throwing error by catcher A.J. Pierzynski. Lorenzo Cain's two-out single scored Hosmer, who reached on a walk.

Greg Holland (6-3) retired the final four batters to pick up the victory.
Guthrie retired the first 14 batters he faced before walking Pierzynski on a full-count offering
The Royals had four hits in the second inning and failed to score. Butler led off with a single, but Perez grounded into a double play. Moustakas, Jeff Francoeur and Hosmer hit consecutive singles, but Moustakas was thrown out at the plate when he attempted to score on Hosmer's hit.
The Royals swept a three-game series from the White Sox for the first time since 2003.

Rays sweep Angels, rough up Greinke
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM. Calif. — Matt Moore shrugged off home runs by Mike Trout and Albert Pujols to win his fourth straight decision, and the Tampa Bay Rays completed a four-game sweep of the fading Los Angeles Angels with an 8-3
victory on Sunday.
Tampa Bay tagged Zack Greinke (1-2) and outscored the Angels 37-14 in the series — the Rays set a team record for runs in a fourgame set, erupting right after Seattle's Felix Hernandez pitched a perfect game against them.
Ryan Roberts hit a two-run
homer and Matt Joyce and Carlos Pena also drove in two runs each for the Rays.

Tampa Bay won the season series 9-1, its best showing against the Angels in the club's 15-year history.

Greinke gave up six runs, seven hits and four walks in six innings and struck out eight in his fifth start for the Angels, who acquired the 2009 AL Cy Young winner from Milwaukee for three prospects.
Moore beat the Angels 3-0 on July 28 at Anaheim to begin his winning streak.
The 28-year-old right-hander has allowed at least four earned runs in four consecutive starts for the first time in his nine-year career. He also dropped a 2-0 decision to the Rays on July 29 in his Angels debut.
Pujols hit his 28th homer and 473rd of his career in the sixth, putting him two away from tying Stan Musial and Willie Stargell for 28th place all-time.

Injuries plague Chiefs again
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs' depth in the defensive backfield is already being tested.
Starting safety Kendrick Lewis is out with a right shoulder injury he sustained early in the Chiefs' preseason loss to the St. Louis Rams on Saturday night. Lewis was helping to make a tackle when he appeared to hurt his shoulder, and he immediately left the game.
His right arm was in a sling after the Chiefs' 31-17 loss.
Lewis is expected to wear a sling for several more days before starting a rehab program, but Crennel said the two-year starter is not considered a candidate for injured reserve.
Kansas City coach Romeo Crennel said Sunday that Lewis will miss "a bit of time," but did not provide details on the injury or a more definitive timetable.
"He has to have no surgery or anything like that," Crennel said, "but he has to rest that shoulder and immobilize it a little bit before we can start movement."
Lewis was clearly frustrated with the injury, spiking his helmet into the sideline turf at the Edward Jones Dome after leaving the field. He had surgery in the offseason to repair a torn pectoral, which ultimately limited him during the Chiefs' offseason program.
Lewis was the Chiefs' fifth-round draft pick two years ago, but has developed into a reliable playmaker in the defensive backfield. He started 10 of 12 games as a rookie, and all 16 last year, when he made 47 tackles and intercepted three passes.
The Chiefs are already without cornerback Brandon Flowers, who hasn't practice since July 31 because
of a bruised heel. The injury was initially considered minor, but it has kept the team's top cornerback off the field far longer than Crennel had anticipated.
The Chiefs struggled in the defensive backfield last season after losing ProBowl safety Eric Berry to a torn left ACL in the opener. Veteran safety Jon McGraw was hurt much of the season, and the guys behind them on the depth chart were routinely beaten for long pass plays.
"We're not good enough, but we've got enough people, let's put it that way," Crennel said, when asked whether depth was becoming an issue.
General manager Scott Pioli worked to shore up the depth problem in the offseason, bringing in free-agent safety Abram Elam and drafting DeQuan Menzie in the fifth round. But Menzie has been out with a hip injury — and is also transitioning from safety to cornerback — which leaves Elam as the best option should Lewis end up missing significant time.
Elam started all 16 games last season with Dallas, making 50 tackles, and has started 64 of the 92 games he's played in the NFL. He has 278 tackles and five sacks in his career.
"I'm glad we got him, definitely because he's an experienced guy," Crennel said. "He has some maturity level about him. He's able to grasp the system and I think he'll do a good job."
Travis Daniels can play both cornerback and safety, but he's been dealing with nagging injuries of his own.
"You always got guys who get banged up a little bit," he said.

From Michael Phelps's remarkable career-ending record of 22 Olympic medals to the clutch performances from Team USA's "Fab Five" in gymnastics, this year's Summer Olympics produced countless stunning moments and lasting memories for the world's spectators.
My favorite moment, however, did not come from a United States athlete, but rather South Africa's Oscar Pistorius.
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
I knew nothing about Pistorius prior to this year's games, and as far as I knew, he was just another ordinary runner from South Africa.
All of that changed when I first saw him step on the track. This 6-foot-1-inch sprinter looked and ran with the same elegance and ease as all of the other competitors. It was when he set up at the starting blocks that I noticed both of his legs had been amputated, and in their place were two prosthetic
At that moment, I knew two things: He's a fighter who doesn't let anything hold him back, and he's fast...very fast. At first, I simply hoped he could finish the race, but as soon as that gun went off, I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about. He not only completed the 400-meter qualifying race, but he nearly smoked every runner in it, finishing with a second place time of 45.44 seconds, the best time of his season.
legs.
Unbelievable.
His gutty performance earned him a spot in the semifinals, but a last place finish in that race left him out of the finals for medal contention. I didn't care, because as far as I was concerned, Pistorius already won the gold metal. He showed the world that even though he doesn't have his legs, this wasn't going to stop him from waking up in the morning, putting in countless hours of training and wearing his country's uniform with pride as he sprinted his way around London's Olympic Stadium.
Seeing Pistorius perform in the Games this year reminded me why I am so fortunate to be living the life I have today.
I have Cerebral Palsy. Yes, I use a walker to help me walk, but just like Pistorius, I too see my situation as one that can hopefully make an impact on others. While watching Pistorius compete, I noticed the Nike swoosh on the bottom of his prosthetics, and it got me

thinking. With Nike's help, maybe I can work with them toward making custom walkers out there for kids just like me who need them, since anyone who uses a walker knows very well that there is nothing out there for active and mobile kids. I wrote a letter to the company about the idea, but regardless of what they think, I will be able to look back and know that Oscar Pistorius played a big role in me taking the initiative to do something about the quality of walkers out there for kids.
Pistorius will return to London in just more than a week to participate in the 2012 Paralympics. This time, all eyes will be on him.

Jayhawks beat UC Santa Barbara in opening game
TYLER CONOVER
tconover@kansan.com
After having the go-ahead goal waived off, the rest of the 90 minutes ticked away, and neither side was able to score.
With the game tied at 1-1 in the 81st minute, freshman Ashley Williams put a deflected ball in the back of the net, but was called offside, preventing the Jayhawks from winning in regulation on Friday against UC Santa Barbara.
Then, in 97th minute, when given a second opportunity to score, Williams was able to bury the game-winning shot giving the jayhawks the first win of the season. Williams was able to make the play after the UC Santa Barbara goalkeeper misplayed a shot by sophomore forward Haley Yearout.
Early in the match, Kansas was on the offensive and had two shots bounce off the goal posts, which would have given the Jahayhs a comfortable lead. UCSB battled back with good defensive play and was able to score off of a header by sophomore defender Miranda Cornejo following a free kick.
"It was a great shot from Haley, and I just hoped that the goalie would bobble it or it would hit off the post or the side bar," Williams said. "I was in the right spot at the right time, I guess."
The Jayhawks outshot the Gauchos 19-6 which put them in position to score, but Santa Barbara goalkeeper Mikkenna Henry played a good game.
"Their keeper, I thought, played really, really well today," coach Mark Francis said. "We probably had five really good chances to score that we couldn't finish, but the good thing is we created those opportunities."
Friday's game was the first regular season game for both teams; however, both teams appeared to be in good condition..
As the game wore on, neither side seemed to slow down..
"The kids showed a lot of guts, I thought, because it was hot and they were starting to get tired and sometimes there is a tendency to make mental mistakes, but the kids showed a lot of focus today," Francis said.
Francis wanted to keep his team organized on defense. Limiting the Gauchos to only nine shots in the game was a big part of the win on Friday.
"I think we did a good job containing them and not letting them get too many clear shot opportunities," Francis said.

Thousands of passionate Jayhawk supporters gathered in Corinth Square in Prairie Village Friday evening for the annual KU Kickoff event.
Kansas Athletics and the KU Alumni Association hosted the event. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, athletic director Sheahon Zenger, football coach Charlie Weis, women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson and men's basketball coach Bill Self addressed the crowd.
The three coaches discussed the football program extensively as they praised the job Weis has done so far and the importance of going to Memorial Stadium to support the team.
Men's basketball coach Bill Self takes the stage to speak during the annual Kansas Football Kickoff rally in Prairie Village on Friday evening.
Weis was the first coach to address the crowd, and he focused on getting the crowd excited for the beginning of the season.
"We open the season with three home games: September 1, September 8 and September 15," Weis said. "Let's see if we can pack this place and start making a home field at Memorial Stadium feel like Allen Fieldhouse for a
game."
Weis ended his address with a lighthearted jab against fans who plan on leaving football games

early.
"And if you leaving at halftime, you and I are going to get into a fist fight," Weis said.
Henrickson also reiterated the importance of supporting the football team to the crowd.
"Nothing sets the year off like a
great football season and a good crowd," Henrickson said.
The speakers also mentioned the athletic success for Kansas
over the past year, with the men's basketball team going to the national championship game, the women's basketball team going to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament and several student-athletes competing in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Self and Henrickson are also looking forward to basketball season after both teams made deep runs in the NCAA Tournament last season.
"It's hard to believe that it's already here," Henrickson said. "We have been doing a lot of good work this summer. We got some kids healthy and they are excited as I am, which is good for everyone."
FOOTBALL
After returning from their European trip where the Jayhawks took on teams from Switzerland and France, Self acknowledged what will be ahead for his squad.
"They are talented, they are fun, they are athletic," Self said. "I believe that if we stick together and everybody's on the same page, we are going to shock a lot of people come March."

vying to win as a lawynhawk.
"Injuries are injuries." Ragone said. "I've had some bad luck with that, but I'm moving forward and I'm here playing football. I just want to be part of something special and win a lot of games."
Tight ends coach Jeff Blasko said he was impressed with the progress Ragone has made since injuring his knee in the third game of the 2011 season. Blasko is not only impressed with Ragone's ability as a player, but also how he works with his teammates.
While coaches were away in July, Ragone spent time with tight ends

"If I don't get the ball in my hands and if we win every game, then I'm happy," he said. "I just want to win."
Ragone is looking forward to his first game as a Jayhawk. And like any player, he wants to succeed. But as far as how Kansas picks up their wins this season, Ragone does not mind how they come.

COMMENTARY
Tradition hard to break
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
CLEVELAND
There's this tradition that goes along with Kansas football.
It's simple, really. Fans — primarily students — show up to Memorial Stadium around kickoff, or sometime in the first quarter, and they leave Kansas football games at halftime.
Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc attacks the ball for the Blue team during the Crismon and blue match Saturday afternoon at the Horeksi Family Athletics Center. Jarmoc had 11 kills in the match.
But that's a big "if." More likely than not, Weis is about to learn traditions are hard to make and harder to break.
See, it's an easy one to learn.
This is no smattering of student exiting the stadium, either. This tradition involves herds of students migrating out of the stands and back to their houses, bars or wherever they came from.
—Edited by Nikki Wentling
They do this for multiple reasons. Some want to return to the drinking culture that envelops college football. Some are simply done with the game and want to go home. Others leave because of the futile performance on the field that they've seen the last few years from the program.
Sure, if Kansas can keep it close most fans will stay, cheer and be normal college football fans.
You see, not too long ago Kansas football was competitive. The players were in games. They even won games. And the student section would fill around kickoff time.
The tradition of leaving early was still alive a few years back when Kansas was competing, but it was much younger and weaker than it is now. The bleachers were full at the beginning, and when fans would leave there would still be a decent amount of butts in seats.
During these past two seasons, the student section stopped filling up. Really, it didn't get close to filling up. So lately, when the students that do come to games leave at halftime, the bleachers have crater-sized holes in them.
It will be the same for the second game against Rice as well.

To be fair, Charlie Weis is a far better coach than Gill, and the result on the field will be improved from the previous two seasons. But that still isn't saving muc. 1.
Now Charlie Weis, the new face of Kansas football, desperately wants to change this. Keep in mind that Turner Gill did, too.
When it's 7:30 p.m. on Saturday night on Sept. 1 and Kansas is beating up on South Dakota State at halftime, the students won't hang around for the second half. And if it's a close game, maybe some will stay, but others will be upset because of the same poor product and return to their watering holes.
The first chance for Weis to change this Kansas tradition is a slim one, and it comes in Kansas' third game of the season against TCU. The Horned Frogs are going to be juiced for their first game in Big 12 play, and, to be honest, teams are not normally described as "juiced" to play Kansas.

FRIENDLY FIGHT
GEOFFREY CALVERT
BASKETBALL
gcalvert@kansan.com
The Blue team beat the Crimson team three sets to one in the Kansas Jayhawks intrasquad scrimmage Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, which was open to fans and reunited volleyball alumni.
Some players rotated teams between sets, which coach Ray Bechard said was done to give hitters the chance to play with each setter. Every team member played, and teams were not divided up in any particular order.
"A lot of good rallies, so that's a sign of good effort," Bechard said. "The execution part of it will come if the effort and the enthusiasm is there each and every time out, and I thought that was very, very solid today."
Throughout the four-set match, both teams sustained rallies, and the team that jumped out to the lead usually kept it. The score was tied 20 times during the four sets, but the lead changed sides only seven times.
The layhawks were excited to play a match in front of fans after doing two-a-day practices for almost two weeks. Before the beginning of the fourth set, some players on the floor playfully sang and swayed to Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe."
Redshirt junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael had 16 kills and six digs for the Crimson team, along with a kill and a block during a brief appearance for the Blue team.
"We were all very excited to get in here and actually play and compete today," Carmichael said.
"I think the last two weeks has been rough, and it's been stressful, but I think it's been extremely helpful for us as well."
Before the third set, almost 20 former Jayhawk volleyball players and coaches were recognized, including former outside hitter Allison Mayfield, a 2012 graduate who will soon begin playing volleyball professionally in Paris.
had one of the more impressive afternoons, recording 11 assists and six digs for the Crimson team and 33 assists and 10 digs for the Blue team. Offensively, redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc's 11 kills and sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton's 13 kills complemented Carmichael's team high 16 kills.
Junior setter Erin McNorton
"For myself, I need to work on out of system balls and be sure
that I hit out-of-system and make sure I know where I'm at because we're going to have a lot of people playing right side and outside," Carmichael said.
Four Jayhawks got their first experience in a Kansas uniform. Freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery, middle blocker Janae Hall and setter Maggie Anderson combined for 12 kills, nine digs and 11 assists.
Bechard said the freshmen played fairly well while also showing some freshmen nerves, but that he's seen them display more confidence in practice. Dockery said she noticed how much faster the college game is than high school.
"I was a little nervous at the beginning, but all the girls made me feel a lot better, made it feel like home pretty much," Dockery said.
The fourth new Jayhawk, graduate student outside hitter Sylvia Bullock, a transfer from the University of Miami who played basketball for four years for the Hurricanes, recorded seven kills. Although this was her first organized match since high school, Bullock showcased her impressive athletic ability that helped convince the Kansas coaching staff she could help the Jayhawks. Bechard said most of her five attack errors came from four years away from the game.
The Jayhawks' season opener is Friday at 4:30 p.m. against Northwestern State in the Arkansas Tournament in Fayetteville, Ark.

According to several reports, freshman Milton Doyle will not be attending Kansas on basketball scholarship this season.
Doyle was originally a Florida International recruit, but opened up his options last spring when Florida International coach Isaiah Thomas was fired.
After getting through the NCAA Clearinghouse, he was cleared to play in late July and able to join the Layhawks.
His mother Lisa Green confirmed to the Lawrence Journal-World and the Kansas City Star about Doyle's decision to leave Kansas a day before classes started.
She did not comment further on the situation.
Kansas coach Bill Self is said to comment further on Doyle's departure today.
Doyle recently made the trip on the European tour and played in all four games averaging 2.3 points per contest.

amorris@kansan.com
The Kansas soccer team ended the opening weekend with a 2-1 overtime loss to Northwestern on Sunday. Freshman forward Ashley Williams scored her second goal of the season, but the jayhawks could not overcome the Wildcats' Georgia Waddle's golden goal in the 95th minute.
Despite creating a majority of the chances, Kansas just couldn't seem to find the back of the net. The Jayhawks felt unlucky after seeing two shots hit the post, including one late in the second half. Despite the loss, the Jayhawks know they had chances capable of creating goals.
"I thought we had a lot of opportunities, just unlucky," Williams said. "Just ready to bounce back for the next game, that's all we can do, and learn from our mistakes."
The Jayhawks fell behind early when Kate Allen got on the end of K.K. Barr's cross to put the visitors ahead. Barr got around the right side of Kansas' defense before cutting back to Allen on the edge of the six-yard box, who coolly slotted home the goal for the early advantage.

One minute later, the Kansas pressure finally paid off when Williams netted the team's lone goal. The Kansas attacking duo of Williams and Caroline Kastor combined on the edge of the penalty box to open up space for Williams' shot to creep just inside the post and into the back of the net to tie the game.
Shortly after the Kansas goal, senior defender and former Ohio State star, Cassie Dickerson was injured after a crunching tackle and never returned to the field.
The game slowed down after the injury stoppage, but Kansas almost found a wining goal in the 82nd minute when senior defender Shelby Williamson received a short corner kick, but saw her shot bounce off the inside of the post.
Despite having an advantage in shots, Kansas couldn't find the back of the net, and they would soon regret the lack of clinical finishing when Northwestern midfielder Georgia Waddle scored off a corner kick in overtime.

High-tech labs now open to students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
The Measurement, Materials and Sustainable Environment Center (M2SEC) located south of Learned Hall will utilize experimental architecture, enhance the educational experience for students and allow the University to pursue cutting edge research.
Besides freshmen, the University will welcome a new addition to campus: a state of the art engineering research facility.
"This new building and its laboratories will be a major draw to new students because we'll be able to do things we've never done been able to do before," said Sarah
The new facilities include an anechoic chamber, which allows Seguin and students to test electronics at an industry level - both in and out of the classroom.
"Now that we have this resource, we'll be able to make students more marketable and expand the employment options for them," Seguin said. "It will give students practical experience, and be a facility for world class research."
Seguin hopes to expand the number of student research assistants in the future with the addition of the building. Brian Cordill, a graduate student from Olathe is one of six students currently

Cordill said he is excited to begin work in the building and that no other facility compares with it in the state.
working with Seguin and expects to begin testing electronic equipment in the new building as early as next week.
"There's no chamber of this size within 800 miles," Cordill said. "It's a big deal for the work I'm going to be doing."
"We have many undergraduates interested in more possibilities for
research, and the new building will enable students to be a part of these interdisciplinary research efforts," Dhar said.
Dhar pointed to the M2SEC's strength as being built on the concept of interdisciplinary research. Although Dhar focuses of nano imaging, but she said working with professors of different fields on collaborative work will be easier. Currently 10 students work with Dhar, which she only expects to increase with the addition of the facility.
"Students will have access to one of the best facilities on campus." Dhar said.

College costs reach high
MAGGIE YOUNG

Back-to-school shopping is getting more expensive for students with each year, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight.
According to the National Retail Federation, college students and their families will spend an average of $907.22 on school shopping this year on things like books, pens and pencils as well as everything a student needs to outfit their home. Last year students were paying around $808.
The future doesn't look much brighter, with a total spending for back-to-college expenses expected to reach $53.5 billion nationally.
The rise in spending can be attributed to many reasons, including the economy, textbooks and housing.
Nate Bryson, a senior from Leawood, said the inflation has a lot to do with the spending increase.
"Manufacturers are starting to take shortcuts, so you have to buy more to compensate," Bryson said. "And students really aren't making any more money."
Most students pinpoint text-books as being their primary cost when heading back to school. Denise Keating is the co-owner and manager of the
Amanda Shaw, a senior majoring in education, agrees that textbooks take a toll on the budget, but said the cost of housing also plays a part in back-to-school spending. For many students, housing costs include furnishing and rent at the beginning of the semester. Like the cost of books, housing costs are also increasing each year.
"At the end of the day, the one thing that all students have to worry about no matter what is textbook shopping." Shaw said. "It is a necessary expense."

"Save money by shopping early, so that you can rent books instead of buying them," Keating said. "We try to make the prices better, but do your part by shopping for textbooks early and being smart about it."

Keating said that campus bookstores try to make it more affordable for students by offering more rental options and selling as many used books as possible.
She said book prices are increasing every year because publishers are charging book-stores more and that price increase is reflected when students buy the books. It's a chain effect, and unfortunately students are paying the price.

In this Oct. 6, 2010 file photo, Kevin Voder participates in a debate in Overland Park, Kan. The conservative Republican congressman, unopposed for re-election in Kansas' 3rd District, has apologized for any offense caused by his naked swim in the Sea of Galilee last summer.
"I't an embarrassing situation, and I regret it." Yoder said during an interview on public radio station KCUR-FM in Kansas City, Mo. "I know that many constituents out there are sort of scrapping their heads, saying, 'What is this guy up to? What was he doing? What was he thinking?'
Nude swim haunts Yoder
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — The Kansas Democratic Party's chairwoman is calling on a Republican congressman to resign following the disclosure that he briefly swam naked at the Sea of Galilee during an official trip to Israel last year.
"I jumped in, was in for 10 seconds, jumped back out," Yoder said during his radio interview. "Just in and out — just to have the experience, really."
Democratic Party Chairwoman Joan Wagnon said Monday that freshman Congressman Kevin Yoder had embarrassed the state, and his actions raise questions about whether he's fit to serve in Congress.
The incident occurred in August 2011 when he and about 20 other lawmakers and staff members jumped into the water. Politico reported Sunday that he was the only one among them who wore no clothes.
Yoder apologized publicly for the incident, saying he regrets it. He said he was only in the water for about 10 seconds.
"If someone walks around the beach naked, that's an offense," Rosenfeld said in Jerusalem. He said no official complaint had been made against Yoder, but it was possible he could still be charged even a year later.
Yoder said it was dark and he was in the water for only about 10 seconds. He said his wife was with him but did not go into the water. He said members of the party jumped in individually, not as a group, and not everyone did.
The Aug. 13-21 trip was sponsored by the American Israel Education Foundation, a charity whose mission is to provide grants for educational programs and conferences, and to educate politicians and influential people about the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
"If that kind of incident takes place and someone makes an official compliant, we'll investigate," Rosenfeld said Monday.
Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman Joan Wagonn called Yoder's behavior "inexcusable" and said if the incident had occurred in Kansas, he would be forced to resign. She later issued a statement calling for him to step down.
"At the time, it seemed very spontaneous," Yoder said. "Somewhat afterwards, maybe the next day, I started thinking that maybe that wasn't the smartest decision."
"I'm astonished these people think they can go on these junkets like this and no one will know what they do." Wagton said.
POLITICS
Ryan's record key to both presidential campaigns
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKEWOOD, Colo. — Since Mitt Romney selected Paul Ryan as his running mate, the presidential campaign's focus has largely centered on the Wisconsin congressman's ambitious plan to transform Medicare and slash government spending.
But President Barack Obama's re-election team and its allies have also been highlightting the congressman's staunchly anti-abortion stance, hoping to buttress its argument that the Republican ticket is hostile to women's rights.
Ryan has earned a perfect rating from the National Right to Life Committee for his votes during his 14 years in Congress. The National Abortion Rights Action League tallied 59 votes that Ryan took on abortion-related bills. On each measure, he voted against abortion rights.
"I'm as pro-life as a person gets," Ryan told The Weekly Standard, a conservative magazine, in 2010.
Shortly after the formal announcement of Ryan's selection on Aug. 11, Obama's team tweeted that Ryan would ban abortions even in cases of rape and incest and had sponsored a bill that would outlaw some forms of birth control. The Democratic campaign emailed female supporters to stress Ryan's record on women's issues, including his
vote against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the first bill Obama signed when he took office.
When Ryan made his Colorado debut Tuesday, a liberal activist group flew a banner above the high school where he was speaking. The banner read, in part, "Choose me, lose choice." On Friday, the Obama campaign launched a television ad blasting Ryan's abortion record.
Romney's campaign contends that Democrats are trying to confuse voters by attacking Ryan on women's issues. "This is a desperate attempt by President Obama's allies to distract from his failed economic policies, which have been particularly devastating to women," said Brendan Buck, a spokesman for the vice presidential candidate.
In a statement, the Obama campaign said, "American women know they can't trust a Romney/Ryan ticket to stand up for them."
Both campaigns are aggressively targeting suburban women, and the election has already featured an unusual amount of debate over reproductive rights. The entry of Ryan into the race only heightens the polarization over the issue.
"There are lots of things that the pro-abortion community will throw at Paul Ryan because there's lots of ammunition, since he has such a solid pro-life record," said former GOP Rep. Marlin Musgrave, now vice president for governmental affairs of the anti- abortion Susan B. Anthony List.
In a 2010 essay for a conservative think tank, Ryan compared the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion to the infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision, in which the court ruled that black slaves were not legally people. "After America has won the last century's hard-fought struggles against unequal human rights in the forms of totalitarianism abroad and segregation at home, I cannot believe any official or citizen can still defend the notion that an unborn human being has no rights," Ryan wrote.
When he first won election to Congress in 1998, Ryan vowed to oppose all abortions unless they were needed to save the life of the mother. He voted for a bill requiring that women who receive abortions first undergo an ultrasound, and another barring anyone besides parents from transporting minors across state lines for abortions. He also voted against a measure to allow women in the military to receive abortions in military hospitals.
Ryan was also one of several dozen Republican co-sponsors last year of a bill called the Sanctity of Human Life Act. The measure, which never made it to the House floor, would give a fertilized egg the same legal rights as a person.

Supporters of Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez gather for a rally in Buenos Aires, Argentina. President Cristina Fernandez's legislative powerbrokers are proposing radical changes to the country's electoral laws that would allow both foreigners and 16-year-olds vote to determine who should run the country.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina —
Argentina is rethinking what it means to be a citizen, proposing radical changes that would have both foreigners and 16-year-olds vote to determine who should run the country.
President Cristina Fernandez's legislative powerbrokers say the proposed electoral laws will enhance democracy and challenge the world to treat voting as a universal human right. Opponents call it a naked attempt to prolong the power of a decade-old government that has showered public money on migrants and young people.
With approval likely in a Congress controlled by the president's allies, the laws would expand Argentina's electorate by 3 million voters, or roughly 10 percent, and make it among the world's most permissive countries in terms of voting rights, allowing foreigners with two years of permanent residency to cast ballots.
"I've very important — there are so many of us here in Buenos Aires," said thrilled migrant Karen Gonzalez, a 48-year-old nanny whose family now includes two
grandchildren in her adopted city,
"I've been here for more than 20
years and I love Argentina. I'm Paraguayan and I love my country, too,
but I owe so much to Argentina, so
I want to vote."
Very few nations trust people still in their adolescence to help choose their nation's leaders. Austria, Brazil, Cuba and Nicaragua also start voting at age 16.
When Mauro Eichmann looks around at his fellow 16-year-olds in his suburban Buenos Aires high school, he doesn't see anyone responsible enough to vote for president.

Ivory Coast troops patrol in the Cocody area of Abidjan, Ivory Coast. More than a year after 3,000 people died in political violence in ivory Coast, the nation is being rocked by brazen attacks on military forces by shadow gunmen.
Unknown shooters target military
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast More than a year after 3,000 people died in political violence in Ivory Coast, the nation is being rocked by brazen attacks on military forces by shadowy gunmen. In a country awash in weapons and grudges, the list of suspects includes loyalists of a disgraced president and former rebel fighters who supported the new president and haven't received anything in return.
The unidentified gunmen struck twice just last week, storming checkpoints near the Liberian border and then security posts and a prison in a town 30 miles west of Abidjan, the commercial capital. On Aug. 6, gunmen struck a military base right in Abidan, killing six soldiers and stealing
an untold number of weapons including rocket propelled grenades and AK-47 assault rifles. In total, six attacks targeting Ivory Coast's military have been reported in less than two weeks. At least 11 soldiers and one civilian have been killed. The attacks threaten to unleash chaos in a country once hailed as a model of stability in West Africa
for trial before the International Criminal Court in The Hague and the internationally recognized election winner, Alassane Ouattara, was sworn in as president.
They are seen as a direct result of a post-election crisis that was triggered by former President Laurent Gbagbo's refusal to admit defeat in the November 2010 election. The post-election violence stretched from December 2010 to May 2011, continuing even after Gbagbo was captured in a bunker in the presidential palace in April. Gbagbo was later hauled away
Interior Minister Hamed Baakayoko blames the new attacks on Gbagbo's supporters working in partnership with rogue soldiers. But observers say that while the attacks are likely being directed by pro-Gbabgo elements who have opposed Uattara for years — and who would continue to oppose him regardless of how he governed
—the violence is being abetted by the proliferation of arms throughout the country, a failure to reintegrate and disarm tens of thousands of ex-combatants.

was rebuilt because of a fire.
Throughout the years, it became notorious for being "the dirty Dillon's."
Ida Greenwell, a junior from Lawrence said some people didn't like the old Dillon's because it was dirty and lacked the selection of other stores.
"I went there and saw some funky people sometimes," said Greenwell.
The Dillon's was designed to reach a high level of energy efficiency and sustainability.
"We have one of our greenest and most sustainable Kroger stores sitting here in Lawrence," said Scott Roorks, Dillon's energy engineer. "A lot of the values we get out of lowering the utility costs get translated into lower prices"
Steve Birchfield, the store's manager, said that students are important to the new store, both as customers and employees.
The new Dillon's employs over 200 people, including students. Birchfield said clerk positions are still being filled.
"This is going to be the student store," Birchfield said. "It's close to campus. It's a quick trip down off the hill."
Nic Wilson, produce manager back-up and senior from Topeka, said he works at Dillon's full-time, has a second job, goes to classes full-time and still manages a social life. He has worked at Dillon's stores
since he was 15. Wilson plans to graduate without any student loan debt.
"My policy is if you stick with one company, you will be able to build rapport with them," Wilson said. "I have references from all over Topeka and Lawrence. I know district managers and most of the higher-up people."
Tyshawn Taylor, Brooklyn Nets NBA basketball player and former KU basketball player, will be signing autographs at the Dillon's on Monday. August 27 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. to celebrate the grand opening.

Handcuffed man shoots himself in police car
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man police say shot himself in the head while his hands were cuffed behind him in the back of an Arkansas patrol car tested positive for methamphetamine, anti-anxiety medication and other drugs, according to an autopsy report released Monday that listed his death as a suicide.
The state crime lab report said the muzzle of a handgun that Chavis Carter apparently concealed from arresting officers was placed against his right temple when it was fired. The report, signed by three medical examiners, included a drug analysis showing Carter's urine and blood indicated methamphetamine and other drug use.
The report, released to The Associated Press and other news organizations under a Freedom of Information Act request, said Carter's blood also tested positive for at least trace amounts of the anti-anxiety medication diazepam and the painkiller oxycodone. His urine test also returned a positive result for marijuana.
The report said Carter's death was ruled a suicide based on autopsy findings and investigative conclusions from the Jonesboro Police Department, which has faced questions from Carter's family and community members about the circumstances surrounding the July 28 shooting.

As a measure to prioritize funding for the University's Bold Aspirations strategic plan, The Voluntary Separation Incentives Program approved 97 university faculty and support staff for early retirement. Those who took the buyout received a lump sum of cash equivalent to their annual salary up to $100,000. Alltogether the payments cost $4.9 million.

Facilities Planning and Management will be losing 30 employees, the most of any department. Carol Cooper, human resource manager, said it's too early in the year to tell whether or not the loss of employees will affect a department.
Communications Coordinator, said the provost's office will be working with all departments to determine the best use of the funding normally allocated to those 97 salaries. He said positions will be open for a year and then reviewed to determine how they can best be used to meet the University's goals.
Cooper said retirements began July 24 and will run through December 31.
Edited by Hannah Wise
Young said the applications were individually reviewed at the department level and then again by the Provost's office to avoid having a negative impact on the University.
"The most important factor in the decision was creating a benefit for KU," he said.
"We may find we need or don't need those positions," she said.

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) Your ability to understand that which is nearly unexplainable might be more important than you initially realize. Take action once you grasp the whole situation. Avoid taking your frustration out on someone.
Taurus (Apri 20-May 20)
Y EN D CLE
You might be feeling sore and/or tired if you have been pushing too hard. Nothing bad will happen if you slow down a bit. Do not forget to schedule a checkup or dentist appointment. The message is to take better care of yourself.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your creativity flourishes and others respond, though perhaps not as enthusiastically as you might. A child or new friend could act up when you least expect it. You might want to squeeze in a physical activity together to let off some steam.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You are anchored and settled to a point of being rigid. Instead of sticking with a blunt “no” response, explain your comfort level and why you would prefer to go with the status quo. Still, this might not work and could provoke a difficult situation.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22)
Speak your mind, but be ready to field some strong reactions. You might want to hold back or postpone part of a volatile conversation. Put your energy where it counts. Understand what is happening with a loved one.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Speak your mind, but be ready to field some strong reactions. You might want to hold back or postpone part of a volatile conversation. Put your energy where it counts. Understand what is happening with a loved one.
Tension builds. You still have a tendency to be negative at present, which only creates more negativity. Be direct with a male friend or someone who is extremely assertive. You might need to say what you feel and clear your mind and energy.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Listen to someone who often gives you excellent advice. You might be more negative than you realize. Be careful with suppressing your anger -- it can explode when you least expect it. Take a walk or an extended break if you find that your temper is close to the surface.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Look for more involvement within your circle of friends. You enjoy their support as well as their ideas. You could discover how fiery a pal is in the process. This person will not leave you alone until you agree with his or her views. Find a diplomatic way out.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Tension builds. You still have a tendency to be negative at present, which only creates more negativity. Be direct with a male friend or someone who is extremely assertive. You might need to say what you feel and clear your mind and energy.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
**K aquarius** (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Keep reaching out for novel ideas and different approaches. You often need newness in your life. The more you learn, the more open you become, and the more likely there will be a perpetual kaleidoscope of new information.
Videos (from 10-30 March 20)
You continue to have a discussion with a partner. This person could be stern and even angry at times.
You might need to listen in order to find out the source of his or her anger, especially if it involves you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tony Scott, director of such Hollywood hits as "Top Gun," "Days of Thunder" and "Beverly Hills Cop II," died Sunday after jumping from a towering suspension bridge spanning Los Angeles harbor and leaving behind several notes to loved ones, authorities said.

TRAGEDY
The 68-year-old Scott's death was being investigated as a suicide, Los Angeles County Coroner's Lt. ioe Bale said.
"I can confirm that Tony Scott has passed away. The family asks that their privacy is respected at this time," Scott's spokesman, Simon Halls, said in a statement.
PETER J. MORGAN
An autopsy is scheduled for Monday, coroner's Chief of Operations Craig Harvey said. He said investigators located several notes to loved ones that Scott left in his car and at another location, but that they were not described in initial reports as suicide notes.
He said Scott parked his car at the crest of the bridge, which is

The British-born Scott, who lived in Beverly Hills, was producer and director Ridley Scott's younger brother. Distinct visual styles mark both siblings' films — Ridley Scott mastering the creation of entire worlds with such films as "Gladiator," "Blade Runner," "Alien" and this year's "Prometheus," Tony Scott known for hyper-kinetic action and editing on such films as his most recent, the runaway train thriller "Unstoppable," starring regular collaborator Denzel Washington.
Tony was the first of the Scott brothers to enjoy blockbuster success with "Top Gun" starring Tom Cruise, the top-grossing film of 1986 at $176 million. Scott teamed with Cruise again four years later on the hit "Days of Thunder." He also had a sequel to "Top Gun" in development.
In this Oct. 26, 2010 file photo, director Tony Scott arrives at the premiere of "Unstoppable" in Los Angeles.
Several people called 911 around 12:35 p.m. to report that someone had jumped from the Vincent Thomas Bridge spanning San Pedro and Terminal Island in Los Angeles Harbor, according to police Lt. Tim Nordquist.
"The biggest edge I live on is directing." Scott said in an interview.
A dive team with Los Angeles Port Police pulled the body from the murky water several hours later, Norquid said. Scott's body was taken to a dock in Wilmington and turned over to the county coroner's office.
185 feet above water, before leaping to his death.
Scott was a thrill-seeker himself in his personal life, an avid rock climber who also liked driving fast cars and motorcycles. Still, filmmaking was his real thrill.
One lane of the eastbound side of the bridge was closed to traffic during the investigation. Cargo vessels moved at reduced speeds through the east side of the port's main channel during the search, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.
"Gladiator" won the best-picture Academy Award for 2000 and earned Ridley Scott one of his three best-director nominations; Tony Scott never was in the running for an Oscar, and critics often slammed his movies for emphasizing style over substance.

STATE ELECTIONS ALSO IMPORTANT
STATE POLITICS
As (hopefully) virtually every University of Kansas student already knows, it's an election season. Discussions of President Barack Obama's and former Massachusetts Governor (R) Mitt Romney's policies, personal lives, and polling data dominate the news, and will continue to do so until the first Tuesday in November. These dialogues are valuable; however, they distract from other, equally important contests that will be decided on Election Day.
It's easy for voters to become apathetic, as demonstrated by data on voting registration and turnout released by the United States Census. Nationally, roughly 65% of voting-age Americans are registered to vote, and 60% vote in typical presidential elections. In between, during the Congressional election cycle, that number falls to about 40%. In Kansas, those statistics seem to follow the national trends—although the percent casting
votes for members of the U.S. House of Representatives has been slightly higher over the past three elections.
Why do we care more about presidential elections than who represents us in either the national or statewide Congress? Exposure to national media coverage may play a factor, as voters who primarily turn to a large network or publication may miss out on the details of their own statewide politics. It's also possible that these national debates hash out the big questions for voters, who decide which party they support and then vote for all of its candidates, regardless of office.
If voters feel their ballot doesn't affect the election, it's unlikely they'll feel a pressing need to vote. Unfortunately, we've chosen to frame our national political identity in terms of the contest in which the most people participate. As the Electoral College system determines who wins the presidency, the race will be decided by how swing states

vote—and I haven't seen a single article, model, or political analyst who describes Kansas as a swing state. Kansas hasn't voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon B. Johnson won the presidency in 1964. Nate Silver, the New York Time's polling guru, currently gives Romney a 99.8% chance of winning Kansas's six electoral votes.
This doesn't mean casting your ballot is just a formality. However, we should reevaluate how we approach an election season. Rather than focusing only on the most recent presidential attack ads, we should prepare ourselves for elections closer to home. To
begin, voters have to know what they'll be asked to vote for once they step inside a ballot box. The easiest way to do this is to visit www.voteks.org, a website run by the office of the Kansas Secretary of State. Once you've registered to vote (an online process that takes about five minutes), you'll be able to see every district you belong to and use that information to determine upcoming election questions. If you're not a Kansas resident, you can either register to vote in your home state or in Kansas, using your current address. Voters registering in other states should determine what the deadlines for registration as soon as possible, as they vary.
It can be difficult to find information about localized elections, but an amazing resource is www. ballotpedia.org, a Wikipedia-like website that collects information on local politics to encourage civic engagement. In-state newspapers like The Wichita Eagle or Topeka Capital-Journal also
"Rather than focusing only on the most recent presidential attack ads, we should prepare ourselves for elections closer to home."
cover state politics. Candidates may also have websites, Facebook pages, or Twitter accounts where they share information with prospective voters.
State primaries concluded earlier this month, and The Wichita Eagle reports that less than a quarter of registered Kansas voters participated. As the national debate grows more polarized, voters should take the time to understand the local impact of Election Day.

CAMPUS
Set your new goals
The school year is here again. Bring on the homework, the exams, the labs and the endless supply of things to do.
My fellow layhawks, it's time to gear up and get ready. It's game-time. Now is the time to decide just how good of a semester this is going to be.
Set your goals. Aim for the grades you know you can achieve and put in the work to get them. It'll be hard. That illusive A isn't going to appear on its own, but you can make it work.
Then again, there's the issue of TAs, GTAs and professors you may have heard bad things about or already have an issue with. But don't count them out yet. Give everyone an equal opportunity and learn from them nonetheless. The truth is, working to build a good relationship, even if it doesn't extend past the classroom, can make a difference in your learning experience.
Then there are the projects and exams that are all scheduled within a week of each other. Your stress level may proceed to rise, but it's up to you to keep your cool and work through it.

dependent on you.
It's common sense if you think about it. Do you think that the Kansas Basketball team won five championships without working for it? Do you think they waited for it to come to them? I think not. They put in the time and made the tough decisions required of a team determined to be number one.
And that, my friends, is how Jayhawks rise to the top of the pack. We make the tough plays and just get through it.
There's going to be times that the goal seems unattainable. It'll melt into the distance, but in reality, it's still alive. One loss isn't cause for the destruction of dreams. It's up to you to keep it alive.
Work hard, Jayhawks. You can do it if you never lose sight of your goals.

into life at the university, whether that be Greek life or one outside the community. And when it comes to dating, some students are dead-set on not mixing Greek and non-Greeks.
Four years ago this month, I sat in the Kansas Union's ballroom and quickly tore open an invitation from the sorority I was hoping to be offered a bid to join. My mother and I were thrilled that I got into one of the KU's "top sororities," but once I settled into the reality of being in it, I felt like it was not for me.
this month, I turned my pin and membership certificate into the sorority's headquarters and bid my house and the institution of Panhellenic life good riddle. In the end I was disappointed that Greek life left me unimpressed, but I knew I made the right decision for myself.
When I left my sorority, though, I didn't cut my ties with a cute friend who was fiercely devoted to his own fraternity. We went out a few times when I was Greek and continued to do so even after I left my house and became a "God-damned Independent," a common term for non-Greeks in the Panehillen dictionary.

blowing me off for his house, having him in my life again was hardly a holiday. He certainly gave more tricks than treats, so by the first week of every November, I was glad it was over.
Finally in 2010 we were supposed to go another date, but he canceled last minute to do something for his frit. He didn't offer to take a rain check but promised he was still into me. I figured he could save it for someone who would believe it and moved on. I never heard from him again, so I'm glad I didn't wait up. That
As fate would have it though, my current boyfriend would overhear me complaining in class to a friend about being blown off for the date. He then pounced on the opportunity to invite me to his 21st birthday party instead, which was that night.
I said I couldn't make it because I had to work (disclaimer. I wasn't lying. I had to work in the dorms at midnight). But he maintained interest anyway, and I fell for him shortly after, not realizing that he himself was Greek like Michael. I assumed it wouldn't work, but nearly two years later, we talk of getting married.
Whether we are Greek or GDIIs, it is acceptable for us to consider being one or the other a major turn-off, but we shouldn't consider it a deal breaker until it becomes a problem like it did
for Michael and me. While there are negative stereotypes about the Greek community, there are definitely some diamonds in the rough.
There are people on both sides of the line we would consider desirable or not, but we shouldn't necessarily discount them for being one or the other. If we try it and it doesn't work, however, we shouldn't feel pressured to keep it alive. Sometimes relationships just need perish.

David Murphy had two RBI singles for the Rangers, who opened a 10-game homestand. All nine Texas starters had a hit.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Ryan Dempster pitched eight innings, his longest outing in more than two months and his best since being traded to Texas, and the AL West-leading Rangers beat the surprising Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Monday night.
Dempster was pitching on extra rest after missing the weekend series in his native Canada for personal reasons. While he wasn't with the Rangers for the three games in Toronto and missed his scheduled start Saturday, he threw a bullpen session over the weekend.
Dempster (2-1 in Texas, 7-6 overall) retired the last 11 batters he faced. The right-hander acquired from the Chicago Cubs on July 31 allowed one run and four hits.
Joe Nathan struck out the side in the ninth.
Miguel Gonzalez (5-3), who had won his previous three decisions, gave up four runs in five innings.
The Orioles have still won 11 of their last 16 games.
In his 16 starts for the Cubs before the trade, Dempster had a 2.25 ERA and pitched eight innings twice. The last time was June 10 at Minnesota.
After giving up eight runs twice, Dempster had an 8.31 ERA in his first three starts for Texas.
Dempster needed only three pitches to get the first two Baltimore batters out before Nate McLouth doubled and scored on Adam Jones' soft single. That was the only run the Orioles got.
Only two runners reached second base against Dempster after that, and the last Baltimore batter to reach was Nick Markakis with a one-out single in the fifth. Dempster struck out six and walked two while throwing 111 pitches.
The Rangers took the lead for good with three runs in the fourth.
Gonzalez, who had won three consecutive decisions, gave up hits to the first two batters he faced. But the right-hander couldn't get out of a similar jam in the fourth.
Adrian Beltre had a leadoff single before Nelson Cruz walked. Murphy blooped a one-out single to left to tie the game at 1. Geovany Soto followed with an RBI single before Mitch Moreland reached on an infield single. Ian Kinsler hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-1.
Kinsler walked twice and was 1 for 2, but still had only six hits in 48 at-bats over his last 13 games.
Josh Hamilton led off the fifth with a single and scored on a double by Cruz.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — John Mayberry Jr. hit a two-run homer and Ryan Howard and Erik Kratz had solo shots to back Roy Halladay, helping the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cincinnati Reds 12-5 on Monday night.
Halladay (7-7) wasn't sharp, allowing five runs and 10 hits in seven innings. But the offense bailed out the two-time Cy Young Award winner.
Domicic Brown hit a go-ahead two-run double off Mike Leake (5-8) in a four-run fifth. Mayberry had three hits and three RBIs, Chase Uitley, Howard and Kratz each drove in two and Juan Pierre had three hits and three runs.
The Phillies have won seven straight over the Reds and 12 of 13, dating to 2010. This was their first meeting this season.
The NL-Central leading Reds lost for just the third time in 11 games.
The five-time defending NL East champions have won three straight, but are eight games under .500.

Royals stumble against Rays
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Kansas City Royals opened a seven-game road trip on a high note before Jeremy Hellickson put a quick stop to i Monday night.
Hellickson pitched seven strong innings for his first home win in three months and the Tampa Bay Rays won 5-1, handing the Royals only their fourth loss in 13 games.
"We're playing well, but it's a tough place to play and they're playing very, very well," said Royals manager Ned Yost of the Rays, who have won five straight.
"Their starting pitching's outstanding, and we come in and face Hellickson and (David) Price and (James) Shields. That's a tough go of it, and coming into this park, it takes you a game to kind of get used to the surroundings and see the ball."
That was particularly true of Alex Gordon, who had two of the Royals' six hits. Gordon came into the game hitting 2 for 53 at Tropicana Field.
"We knew (Hellickson) had a good changeup and that's what we were looking for and he mixed it up, kept us off-balance," said Gordon, who drove in Kansas City's only run with a single in the third inning.
Hellickson (8-8) allowed one run and six hits in ending a stretch of seven consecutive winless starts at home, dating to a 2-1 victory over Boston on May 16.
The Rays went ahead 4-1 in the fourth on Jose Labaton's RB1 single and a run-scorning double from Desmond Jennings off Will Smith (4-5).
Smith lasted just 3 2-3 innings, giving up four runs and eight hits. The left-hander had won his previous two starts, allowing two runs over seven innings in games against both Baltimore and Oakland.
"After the first inning, I was just bad," Smith said. "No location, no breaking ball today, which really hurt. I was falling behind too much. You have those days but you hate having 'em."
Hellickson worked out of a two-on, no-out jam in the sixth. The right-hander appeared to have adouced a double-play grounder from Billy Butler, but second baseman Ryan Roberts' throw after recording an out at second looked as if it broke through the webbing on first baseman Jeff Keppinger's glove and wound up behind the bag.
Unfazed, Hellickson then got an inning-ending double-play from Salvador Perez.
Hellickson was the losing pitcher in his last start — despite allowing one run over seven innings — last Wednesday against Seattle when Felix Hernandez threw the Mariners' first perfect game.
"I thought I was really good," Hellickson said. "Got ahead of guys, curveball was pretty good. Just threw strikes for the most part."
Tampa Bay reliever J.P. Howell worked a scoreless eighth to extend his team-record scoreless streak to 25-2-3 innings. Kyle Farnsworth got the final three outs in a nonsave situation.
Elliot Johnson put the Rays ahead 1-0 on a run-scoring single in the second. Jennings hit a third-inning triple and scored on Smith's wild pitch as Tampa Bay took a 2-1 lead.
Keppinger extended the Rays' advantage to 5-1 with a fifth-inning solo homer.
Kansas City tied it 1-all on Gordon's RBI infield single. The Royals completed a 5-1 homestand Sunday, which included a three-game sweep over the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox this past weekend.

Vick injured in game against Patriots
FOXBOROUGH. Mass. — Michael Vick keeps taking his lumps. His Philadelphia Eagles keep winning.
The star quarterback was leveled after throwing a long pass in the first quarter and underwent X-rays for the second straight game — negative again. Then backup Nick Foles led the Eagles to a 27-17 preseason victory over the New England Patriots on Monday night.
Vick had X-rays on his ribs after being knocked down by linebacker Jermaine Cunningham. Eleven days earlier, in a 24-23 win over Pittsburgh, he had X-rays on his left thumb after hitting it on center Jason Kelce's helmet.
Tom Brady sat out the game for the Patriots (No. 2)
Foles threw two touchdown passes for the second straight game for the Eagles (No. 8 in the AP Pro32).

THE MORNING BREW Chiefs line-up set with Bowe contract
T
The Kansas City Chiefs have it all coming together this year. After a season riddled with injuries to critical players, each piece of the team puzzle seems to be falling in place for the upcoming year. While some players like Jamal Chalres, Tony Moeaki and Eric Barry missed nearly the entire last season. One key piece of the puzzle was absent in during the length of the off-season.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
welcome back Dwyane Bowe.
Bowe signed his franchise tender
Friday Aug. 17 in a one-year deal for
around $9.5 million after holding out on
signing for the entire off-season.
That means two things. One, Bowe will be paid handsomely for what many believe is his final year in Kansas City. Two, Bowe will be on the field for what many believe is his final year in Kansas City.
Before signing on Friday, many thought Bowe could continue this hold out into the regular season schedule. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike
Wallace still hasn't signed his franchise tender and is a strong candidate for doing just that.
What does this means for Chiefs fans? The front office and the medical staff have secured the successful return of nearly all important players. Excluding the loss of cornerback Brandon Carr, the Chiefs have found upgrades and depth through the NFL draft and free agency.
Carr's hole was filled with the signing of ex-Raider corner Stanford Routt. Eric Winston is a gigantic pick up at right tackle and the bull dog that is running back Peyton Hillis could bring back the
bone-crushing running game that took the Chiefs to the playoffs two years ago.
Signing Dwayne Bowe is the final mark in a complete offseason from the Chiefs. Bowe topped 1,000 yards receiving for the second straight year and the third in his last four seasons.
Here's the scary thing: half of the games were started by either Kyle Orton or Tyler Palko. That's your NFL equivalent of taking the doorman at the Hawk and throwing on the field at Memorial Stadium on Saturdays. Bowe simply didn't have a quality quarterback throwing him the ball much and no running game to take the pressure off him. Take a look at the numbers.
Despite being targeted less in 2010, Bowe amassed more 1,162 yards and 15 touchdowns. The Chief's offense depends on all of its parts to be tough to defend. The Chiefs are not the Patriots or Packers who can sling the rock 50 times a game and get away with it. In 2011, with an offense absent of a running game, the Chiefs became one-dimensional and
KU
scored just 20 touchdowns. With a complete and healthy team in 2010, Bowe and company tallied up 44 touchdowns.
This Kansas City team is good and the running game is the driving force behind it. However, that doesn't happen without having a guy like Bowe. He keeps safeties out of the box and demands attention in the secondary. Hills and Charles will get theirs, its inevitable. But as they do, they open the doors for Bowe. He has the strength and size to run in the middle and the speed to burn corners deep. Bowe is a perfect fit for what the Chiefs want to do.
G get excited Chiefs fans. Bowe is bringing the swagger back to Arrowhead. And hopefully the touchdowns too.

Miami graduate joins Jayhawks

GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Graduate student outside hitter Sylvia Bullock and junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc of the Blue team get ready for their opponents attack from the Crimson队 during the Crimson and Blue match Saturday afternoon at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. Bullock is a transfer student who has spent the past four years playing basketball at Miami.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
An already veteran Kansas volleyball team deepened with the addition of a former Miami basketball player.
Sylvia Bullock, a graduate student transferred from University of Miami where she played played four years on the Hurricanes' basketball team. As captain at Miami in 2011 Bullock helped lead them to a No. 8 ranking in the AP poll and a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. Bullock, who started playing volleyball so one of her friends would have someone to hit with, hasn't played the sport competitively since high school, but coach Ray Bechard said Bullock can still contribute immediately because of her athletic experience.
Although Bullock will be a graduate student, she is eligible to play volleyball at Kansas because of an NCAA rule that allows a graduate student-athlete to play immediately
"She was their team captain a couple of years," Bechard said. I think she knows what leadership's about, she knows work ethic, she knows what it takes to be a high level athlete."
at his or her new school if that student is pursuing a graduate degree in a program not offered at the student's original school.
Bullock is pursuing a Master's degree in English, and according to the athletics department, she has one year left in her eligibility.
"I'd go to the Miami volleyball games and I was like 'I can do that,'" Bullock said. "I'm competitive, and I just like getting out there and seeing that I'm able to do this."
Bullock said playing basketball helped her quickness and jumping ability, which are also important volleyball skills.
Bullock averaged 1.4 blocks per game for the Hurricanes as a senior, which was fifth place in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
She said that the biggest adjustment for her right now is picking volleyball terminology back up and knowing where to be on the court.
Bullock said her new teammates have helped her in practice so far by talking to her on the court and telling her where she needs to be.
Bechard said Bullock's volleyball ability will come back to her with practice.
"In volleyball there's a lot of fine motor skills involved with handling
the ball and getting hand contact on the ball and just hand-eye coordination," Bechard said. "All of those things are going to come back to her, hopefully sooner rather than later."
To get back into volleyball rhythm, Bullock has been working with Kansas assistant coach Laura "Bird" Kuhn, who was a volleyball coach at Miami during Bullock's time on the basketball team.
"I had known Coach Bird previously," Bullock said. "She's close with my basketball coaches at Miami. I told them I wanted to play volleyball and they were like, 'Oh, well coach Bird, you should look at her.'"
Even though Miami is far from her hometown of Anchorage, Alaska, Bullock said she chose Miami because she felt a family atmosphere, and it was a smaller, private school with a coaching staff that was willing to give one-on-one
instruction.
During her sophomore year at Miami, Bullock said the Hurricanes suffered through a number of close losses. In 2011, the Jayhawks had a 3-13 conference record and lost 42 sets, but 16 of those set losses were by three points or fewer. Bullock said she can immediately contribute to the Jayhawks by helping the team push through close matches.
One of her new teammates,
redshirt junior Caroline jarmoc,
said Bullock is already pushing the Jayhawks through her dedication.
"Sylvia's super athletic and she gets at me at the weight room all the time," said Jarmoc. "She's so strong."

TOP NEWCOMERS
Devonte Robinson, Ford Childress and Christian Brown each earned three stars from Rivals.com, and while quarterback Childress will sit and watch Geno Smith operate this season, Brown and Robinson will have a chance to make an impact on the Mountaineers. Brown ranked 38th in the nation at defensive tackle on Rivals after recording 35 tackles (14 solo) and two sacks his senior year in high school. Robinson started at wide out for three years at Village Academy High
School in Florida, collecting 950 yards on 31receptions. Ford Childress threw for over 3000 yards and 40 touchdowns during his senior season in high school and will certainly benefit from Dana Holgorsen's spread offense.
OVERVIEW
West Virginia has been winning championships in the Big East but head coach Dana Holgorsen is no stranger to the Big 12. Holgorsen spent time as an assistant coach with Texas Tech and Oklahoma State before taking over the Mountaineers last season. And in his first season Holgorsen delivered a 10-3 record, Big East championship and dominated Clemson in the Orange Bowl 70-33 earning himself a six-year extension. His pass heavy offense notched 63 touchdowns last season and will look to continue its staggering ascent as one of the best scoring teams in the nation.
STORY TO WATCH
One of the fastest rising stocks in college football, Geno Smith will be the Mountaineers main attraction. The Heisman hopeful obliterated defenses last season with 4385 passing yards and 31 touchdowns in his first year under center at West Virginia. If Smith progresses the way most analysts are expecting West Virginia could be headed back to a BCS bowl. Of course, opposing Big 12 defenses will have a say in that. Holgorsen's experience at Texas Tech and Oklahoma State will be invaluable for the senior quarterback.
THEY SAID IT
"We'll probably put something new out there. I'm not going to tell you what it is. But it's evolved. I mean, obviously eight years in Lubbock working for Coach Leach, the offense was kind of set. I'd like to say we put our own spin on it."

TOP NEWCOMERS
The Horned Frogs freshman class boasts a bevy of nationally ranked talent, yet McPherson native quarterback Tyler Matthews, tight end Griffin Gilbert and defensive end Devonte Fields top the list. Each a four-star rated recruit by Rivals, com, the trio give TCU's 36th ranked recruiting class some flare. Matthews is coming off 24 touchdown, 2836-season that saw Rivals name him the top football prospect in the state of Kansas. On the opposite side of the line
of scrimimage Fields comes to TCU as the 12th ranked defensive end in the country after registering 73 tackles and 13 sacks his senior season in Arlington, Texas.
OVERVIEW
TCU enters the Big 12 with four straight 11-win seasons, and three straight conference championships in the Mountain West. Their dual-threat offense features a stout run game with a productive quarterback in Casey Pachall. Last season Pachall threw for 2921 yards with 25 touchdowns, to complement his backfield's 2712 yards and 38 scores. Even with the departure of running back Ed Wesley (726-yards in 2011) the Horned Frogs still have two 700-plus yard backs in Matthew Tucker and Waymon James. The Horned Frogs offense does most of the heavy lifting for head coach Gary Patterson averaging 40 points a game last season.
STORY TO WATCH
TCU has had a successful run since Gary Patterson took over in 2000, but they have never had to go against the top tier teams week after week playing in the WAC, C-USA and Mountain West like they will see in the Big 12. Although Patterson has 6-4 record against the Big 12 since 2002 half of those wins came against Baylor, and this season he will have to face Texas, West Virginia and Oklahoma State on the road. It will be intriguing to see how TCU faces a consistently tough schedule in the Big 12.
THEY SAID IT
"People said: You're not going to be playing New Mexico anymore. You're not going to be playing Vegas anymore. Yeah, but those were 50-point ball games. What's reality? Because all you have to do is win by one point to get where you need to get to."

Mets drop to third in loss to Rockies
NEW YORK — Tyler Colvin hit a tying homer off R.A. Dickey in the fifth inning then made a diving play in the eighth to preserve the lead, and the Colorado Rockies beat the New York Mets 3-1 on Monday night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Colvin's first home run. in 105 at-bats, denied the knuckleballer a chance at his 16th win and helped the Rockies to their sixth victory in eight games.
With Michael Cuddyer the latest Colorado player to go on the disabled list, Colvin was playing first base. He made a lunging stop on pinch-hitter Jordany Valdespin's sharp hitter just inside the bag with the bases loaded and his toss to reliever Matt Belisle just beat a diving Valdespin to the bag. Valdespin jumped up, waving his arms in disbelief, and manager Terry Collins engaged first base umpire Lance Barksdale in a prolonged discussion.
The loss dropped the Mets (57-65) into a third-place tie with Philadelphia in the NL East, 18-1-2 games behind first-place Washington.
Rafael Betancourt, the Rockies' fifth pitcher, put two runners on before getting Mike Baxter to fly out to center finishing his 24th save.
The team could go back to a five-man rotation soon. Jhoulys Chacin (pectoral nerve irritation) is scheduled to make his first start since May 1 on Tuesday and Drew Pomeranz will make his next start Friday, Tracy said. Depending on how Chacin does, all five could remain.
Guillermo Moscoso gave up a hit in 2 1-3 innings, Rex Brothers (7-2) allowed a hit in 1 1-3 innings and Belisle got one big out for the Rockies.
Alex White was done after four wild, but effective innings under manager Jim Tracy's four-man rotation. He allowed three hits and two walks on 83 pitches - 46 strikes. Tracy has been limiting his pitches to about 75 tosses a game.
Dickey was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning, and Herrera led off the eighth with a push a bunt toward first base. Rebel Josch Adam (1-1) tried to shovel the ball with his glove to first baseman Ike Davis but the toss went way off line and Herrera raced to second on the Mets' first error in 10 games.

COMMENTARY
But for Kansas sophomore running back Tony Piper, that opportunity is now.
Back in April, junior running back James Sims was suspended for the first three games of the 2012 season after he violated team rules. Sims was Kansas' leading rusher in 2011. He rushed for 727 yards on 182 carries and scoring nine touchdowns.
In football, it's all about opportunity. Athletes enter the program as freshmen and hope for the chance to prove themselves on the playing field in little time as possible.
Kansas' second leading rusher running back Darrian Miller transferred after an excellent freshman season, rushing for 559 yards and scoring four times.
Pierson can earn top spot
Some wait for three to four years and earn their place during their senior campaign. Others are lucky enough to start as freshmen.
With both running backs out of the picture, Pierson's electric play has a chance to shine and earn him the feature role in the Kansas offense.
By Pat Strathman pstrathman@kansan.com
Sure, at first glance it would seem that Pierson's numbers are a bit low. Pierson only rushed for 396 yards and scored three times. But, Pierson only carried the ball 71 times and played in one fewer game than Sims.
Pierson was rarely used last year. It's hard to tell what he can truly do when only showing his talents in such short, electric bursts.
Even with the big question mark surrounding him, Pierson has a chance to rise to the occasion. South Dakota State and Rice may not be the best competition, but the opponents will be a measuring stick of what Pierson can do.
The biggest game though has to be against new Big 12 member TCU. If Pierson does well against TCU, expect him to receive 15 carries a game with Sims back in the lineup.
The road to become the feature running back may be long and strange, but with these opportunities, Pierson can earn his spot as number one.
Edited by Vikaas Shanker
Sims and Miller both finished the 2011 season averaging four yards a carry. Not bad, but Pierson shattered that, averaging 5.6 yards. Also, Sims and Miller both had 10 or more carries in all but one game. Pierson on the other hand only reached double-digits once last season with 11 carries against Missouri in the final Border Showdown game.
Pierson's speed and ability to make big plays make him a great option as the feature running back, but consistency will be the biggest question mark.
Pierson showcased his speed last year in numerous games by gaining big chunks of yards with fewer attempts. He didn't have the longest carry last year, but in seven of the 11 games, his longest carry was 10 or more yards. And in four of the games his longest carry was 20 or more yards.

When a team's best player goes down with an injury, the team has two choices. One, they can go through the motions and act like he was the whole reason they were good. Or two, they can strive to be better and make up for the loss.
"With him last year, the team could have been much better, but without him, it made the team much better," assistant coach Michael Whitleysey said. "Because his leadership wasn't out there and the younger athletes had to step forward and learn on their own."
The latter of the two is what the men's cross country team decided to do when they lost then junior Donny Wasinger to a pulled achilles tendon last season.
Now Wasinger is a senior and the returning corps will be pushing him to be the number one guy to lead the Jayhawks.
"It's the strongest team we've had in a number of years. It's not just from a talent basis, but also a commitment basis," Whittlesey said.
Whittlese also said that anyone on the team can push to be in the front five even if they are the 10th runner. The top five runners in each race make up the team score, so competition is always good. The commitment to be in the top five is visible by the summer training.
"We've had a lot of guys that were committed and putting in a lot of miles," Wasinger said. "Multiple guys putting in 100-mile weeks throughout the summer."
The men's cross country team brings back 15 letterwinners and six Big 12 scorers. Redshirt freshman Gabe Gonzalez, junior Josh Munsch and senior Josh Baden will look to join Wasinger in the top five.
Gonzalez is expected, along with Wasinger as the top two runners for the Jayhawks. Munsch competed in the NCAA Championships with track and field last year and Whittlesey believes the experience he had there will have a positive reaction for the cross country season.
Baden has had to work hard to get where he isafter barely making the cut his freshmen year, but is now in a place to be one of the top three runners for the lajhwakes.
In order for a successful season, the cross country team will have to rely on everyone to make a commitment to the team.
"The returners this year have really stepped up." Whittlsey said. "The commitment that our sophomores and freshmen from last year that they have put forth the last 12 months have been tremendous. They've really stepped up their game."

FOOTBALL
Campo settles in as college coach
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fyousoughian@kansan.com
One of the biggest transitions in football is when a player leaves college and begins playing professionally. Dave Campo, Kansas defensive coordinator, is making the jump from coaching in the NFL to coaching in the Big 12.
Campo's biggest challenge during the transition has been switching his style of coaching defense and making sure that his players can get a good grasp of the system.
Campo said the Big 12 is different from other athletic conferences in many ways.
"When you talk about the SEC or the PAC 12, they are almost more NFL-type leagues from the standpoint that they are all like what Texas is doing." Campo said, explaining how the Big 12 is more fast-paced with a spread offense.
For the past 22 years, Campo has coached with the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars while serving different roles throughout his
professional coaching career including the head coach of the Cowboys from 2000-02.
His most triumphant run in the NFL came during the 1992-93 season through 1995-96 season where Campo was the secondary coach and defensive coordinator while helping
ers through teaching is a new, enjoyable learning experience.
PETER POWELL
"It's a breath of fresh air for me." Campo said. "You don't do quite as much technique stuff when
the Cowboys win three Super Bowl titles in the span of four seasons.
Campo is learning that coaching players in college is not like coaching players in the pros. For him, leading college football play-
Campo
you've got guys that have been in your system for seven or eight years. I feel good about that. I think we're making progress in those areas."
Despite having a new defensive coordinator, Toben
Opurum, senior defensive end and captain, said that he has been able to pick up Campo's defense. His shift with a new coach is not something that is setting him back, but rather helping him sharpen and elevate his game.
"He's been able to coach guy who have been in the same position as I have," Opurum said. "I know the technique he wants me to use and I know what he expects out of me and he has helped me get better."
As Opurum and his teammates prepare for the season to kickoff in less than two weeks, he knows that his team will be ready against South Dakota State.
"Come September 1 we get a new opponent," he said. "I think we'll really be able to see what we're capable of. I'm confident in what we're doing and I really like what coach Campo has us doing out there."
At the start of fall camp, Campo made it clear that his Kansas defense won't be one-dimensional, but it'll more versatile. "Right now South Dakota State has no idea what we are going to do, because I have been in about five different
defenses in the last three or four years," Campo said. "I think you would have to say we are a multiple defense. We are capable of doing a lot of things, if the personnel fits."
After giving up 393 points in the conference last year, Campo is working on implementing a sound defense in hopes that the Jayhawks can improve. Campo has no set expectations in his first year with the Jayhawks, but he sees a better football team going into a new season.
"I think fundamentally, we're a better football team than we were when I came in here," he said. "I think eventually that will pay dividends."

BASKETBALL
After reports surfaced late Sunday, men's basketball coach Billy Self officially announced Monday that freshman guard Milton Doyle would not return for the 2012 season.
"We spoke to Milt at length Sunday on what we thought his role would be within our program," Self said in a statement. "We discussed his options and the first option was welcoming him back for the fail. His leaving is entirely his own choice, one that he felt was best for his future."
On June 18, Doyle signed a grant-in-aid agreement and took classes over the summer in Lawrence. Doyle then went through workouts with team before they traveled to Switzerland and France. Doyle was originally a Florida International recruit, but opened up his options last spring when Florida International coach Isaiah Thomas was fired.
In high school Doyle averaged 19 points, seven rebounds, five assists and five steals a game while Marshall High School in Chicago.
Dyle recently made the trip on the European tour and played in all four games averaging 2.3 points.
Self said Doyle decided to find a program where he can make an impact early in his career.

A fake I.D. wall at Cork and Barrel shows students the consequences of using a fake I.D. when trying to buy alcohol.
BIG BOOZE BUST
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
Lots of college students like to think alcohol is easily accessible and at their fingertips around Lawrence.
But for students hosting parties or those who aren't yet part of the 21 club, there are numerous law enforcement agencies and a task force directed towards keeping alcohol out of underage hands.
The Lawrence Police Department wanted to send that message early, and conducted alcohol enforcement in the Oread neighborhood and areas close to downtown Friday and Saturday.
"When the students get back, we try to pull our resources and set some boundaries," said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police spokesman. "Lots of times, it's their first time away from home and they want it to be a big party."
Officers made arrests or issued citations for 58 alcohol violations,
including minor in possession of alcohol, driving under the influence, consuming alcohol in public and use of false identification
But the Lawrence Police Department is just one entity trying to prevent underage drinking. Lawrence police, along with the KU Public Safety Office, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control are all part of the Fake ID 101 task force, which will target any area where alcohol may be consumed this semester.
"They are out in every different place you can think of that sells or provides alcohol," said Jen Jordan, the director of prevention at Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism.
The task force will patrol for underage drinking and check for fake or false identification at bars, liquor stores, house parties and on game days.
For Curtis Yingling, a junior from Andover, a major concern is the consequence for those hosting house parties.
COSTS OF BEING CAUGHT
"I'll go to them, but I'd never have one." Yingling said. "The risk is just too big. People who aren't 21 will come and then you've got the fine."
—Edited by Emma McElhaney
The task force started in 2010 with grant funding, and began patrolling house parties last spring when it issued two citations for social hosting. Last school year, the task force administered 168 minor-in-possession charges and 126 fake identification charges.
"It can follow you into your career," Witt said. "We want students leaving with degrees, not criminal records."
Captain Mark Witt, a KU Public Safety Office coordinator for the task force, said students may be eligible for a diversion on their first alcohol violation in Kansas, but second offenses will stay on their record.

WEATHER
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
Droughts have hit Kansas hard this summer. Now farmers will lose crops and food prices can go up. This is Clinton Lake shown with a very low water level and dry surroundings.
'Death ridge' brings drought
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Drought conditions mean warmer temperatures, drier weather, and higher food and alcohol prices for students.
Because of heat and lack of moisture this summer, any food product derived from grain will see a rise in prices, said Kevin Nelson, an atmospheric science graduate student from Prior Lake, Minn. This includes beef, bread and alcohol.
"Higher grain prices might mean a drought for drink specials," Nelson said. "Drier weather makes for a drier Lawrence."
Although drought conditions have hurt grain production this year, Nelson did not expect to see the effect on food prices until next year. Drought conditions are also responsible for the algae bloom in the Lawrence water supply, Nelson said.
The unusual drought conditions are the result of a weather pattern known as the "death ridge," said Prescott Bishop, an atmospheric science graduate student from San
Antonio, Texas. "It stretches from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast," Bishop said. "It's even larger than last summer's."
Bishop said the death ridge is a warm, high pressure weather system that has covered the Great Plains since April.
"High pressure makes the weather warmer and drier, which makes the high pressure stronger, causing even more warmth and dryness," said Garrett Black, an atmospheric science from Hutchinson.
So far, no other weather pattern has broken the death ridge, which is unusual, Black said. Black did have hope that weather systems moving into the region this week could begin to curb the drought conditions.
"This weekend we have a chance for rain, which could be a good start to a series of low pressure systems to break the death ridge," Black said.

TRANSPORTATION
SafeBus expands routes includes Clinton Parkway
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
A new route and additional downtown pick-up times have been added to SafeBus services this year because of demand.
Red and Yellow routes running between 14th and Tennessee streets have also been reworked to allow for pick-ups every 10 minutes, as opposed to the every 15 minutes offered last year.
The new route, known as number 55, runs from downtown to Clinton Parkway and loops along Wakarusa and Inverness drives.
"Changes are purely demand-based," said Marcus Tetwiler, a junior from Paola and the KU on Wheels transportation coordinator.
and 2008 school year as an additional and more cost-effective option to SafeRide, Tetwiler said.
SafeBus started during the 2007
During the first year, SafeBus was 10,377 riders. Last year, that number rose to more than 76,000.
"It made more economical sense to put that area on fixed route." Tetwiler said. "It's more convenient for the students and it's the best use of their money."
Tanner Brunhoeber, a sophomore from Augusta, has lived in an apartment along the route for the past two years.
Tetwiler said last year the majority of SafeRide calls came from the new route 55 area.
"I knew people who drank and drove back here last year, so I think it'll help a lot." Brunhoeber said.
While quantity is important, Tetwiler said he hopes the addi-
trational stops along 14th and Tennessee streets will also increase the quality of service.
"I'ts not meant to be a packed drunk tank," Tetwiler said. "We want it to be less crowded and a safe place for everyone. People who aren't drinking and need a safe ride home should be able to get that."
Both SafeBus and SafeRide operate on a semester student fee of $16.30 or "two cab rides home," as Tetwiler said.
It's money Andy MacKay, a junior from Seattle, doesn't mind paying.
"Not having to rely on as many people makes it worth it," MacKay said. "You can just be liable for yourself."

The drills will be conducted in residence halls, scholarship halls and lahwaker Towers.
There will be unannounced fire drills for on-campus housing sometime during the first 10 days of the semester, according to a statement from Diana Robertson, student housing director.
Evacuation routes are posted on the back of each student's room door, and assembly areas are designated. KU Public Safety and the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical services will give the "all clear" for students to return
to their residences. With an un-
planned alarm, vehicles from both
agencies are dispatched to the
building.
The University is performing the drills to comply with regulations from the Kansas State Fire Marshall and the International Fire Code, which requires two fire drills per building per semester.
Drills are held to allow residents and staff to practice the evacuation process, reinforce the urgency of following safety procedures and offer an opportunity to test fire safety equipment.

The Princeton Review ranks Universities across the country in a wide variety of categories, from academics to the quality of student life.
Penn State's Daily Collegiate topped the list at No.1. Student papers at UNC, Chapel Hill,
The University Daily Kansan is the sixth-best college newspaper in the country, according to this year's Princeton Review surveys.
Yale, Brown, and University of Wisconsin-Madison followed. Student papers at major journalism schools like the University of Missouri, Columbia University, and University of Southern California were missing entirely from the list.
The University also made the top 20 for its college radio and its sports.
KJHK, the University's student-run radio, ranked at No.16, and the University was listed at the No. 12 "Jock School," in the country, topping Kansas State, which was listed at No.14.
The Princeton Review lists don't say much about why the schools were chosen, but the Daily Collegian at Penn State was reporting from the center of a huge controversy last year over the firing of former football coach Joe Paterno and the prosecution of former coach Jerry Sandusky for sexual abuse.
As for the University Daily Kansan, it unveiled a redesigned website, Kansan.com, this year.
Rep. Akin remains in race for Senate
Edited by Luke Ranker
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri Rep. Todd Akin renewed his vow to carry on with his embattled Senate campaign Tuesday, even as a key deadline loomed to withdraw from the race over his comments that women's bodies can prevent pregnancies in cases of "legitimate rape."
In an effort to salvage his bid against incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill, Akin insisted the uproar regarding his remarks was an overreaction to misusing "one word in one sentence on one day"
For the second time in two days, Akin appeared on former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's radio show to say he planned to stay in the race, despite constant urging from members of his own party to step aside.
But the damage had been done. His comments drew a sharp rebuke from fellow Republicans, including presumptive presidential nominee
"I guess my question is: Is there a matter of some justice here?" Akin asked. After his original statement, "all of a sudden, overnight, everybody decides, 'Well, Akin can't possibly win.' Well, I don't agree with that."
Mitt Romney and his vice presidential choice, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
President Barack Obama said Monday that Akin's comments underscore why politicians — most of whom are men — should not make health decisions on behalf of women.
One anti-abortion group expressed support for Akin, while another called on him to step aside.
"Rape is rape," Obama said. And the idea of distinguishing among types of rape "doesn't make sense to the American people and certainly doesn't make sense to me."
Missouri Right to Life, which opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest, said Akin's "consistent defense of innocent unborn human life clearly contrasts" with McCaskill's position.
If Akin were to leave, state law gives the Republican state committee two weeks to name a replacement. The new candidate must file within 28 days of Akin's exit.
But the Christian Defense Coalition called on him to withdraw.

Volcanic rock floats to New Zealand coast
In this Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012 photo released by New Zealand Defence Force, pumice rocks are shown at an unidentified location after the rocks were collected from an area of floating pumice southwest of Raoul island, off New Zealand's coast.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand A mass of small volcanic rocks nearly the size of Belgium has been discovered floating off the coast of New Zealand.
Associated Press
The stretch of golf ball-sized pumice rocks was first spotted this week by a Royal New Zealand Air Force plane about 1,000 kilometers (about 620 miles) northeast of Auckland. The rocks stretch for about 26,000 square kilometers, or about 10,000 square miles.
A Navy船 took scientists to the rocks Thursday night. Naval Lt. Tim Oscar said the rocks appeared a brilliant white under a spotlight, like a giant ice shelf.
Pumice is made from lava and water and is very lightweight, so it poses no danger to ships. Pumice has a variety of uses. It is an in-

Scientists said the rocks likely spewed up in an eruption by an underwater volcano. They don't believe the eruption is connected to the onshore ash eruption this week of another volcano, Mount Tongariro.
The New Zealand Defence Force said the mass of rocks stretches 250 nautical miles by 30 nautical miles.

Woman strangles neighbor with brassiere
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian investigators say a woman in eastern Siberia strangled an elderly neighbor to death with her bra.
The Investigative Committee in Buryatia said in a statement on Tuesday that the 26-year-old woman from the town of Zaka-
mensk, just miles north of the border with Mongolia, has been charged with murder.
Investigators say the woman was drunk on a July evening when she and her boyfriend called on their 65-year-old neighbor for money to buy drinks. Angry that he refused to lend them money,
the woman punched him in the face and tried to strangle him with her hands before taking off her bra and strangling him with it, they said.
The woman is now in custody awaiting the end of the inquiry, investigators said. Her name was not released.

Villages evacuate near volcanic activity
QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuadorian authorities say 110 families have been evacuated from the vicinity of the Tungurahua volcano, which has been spewing molten rock, ash and lava since the weekend.
Spokeswoman Mercedes Taipei of Ecuador's Geophysics Institute says a column of vapor and ash to 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) high has characterized the moderate-to-strong eruption.
She said Tuesday that a half-dozen villages are being showered in ash. She had no immediate estimate on economic damage to local farming.
The 16,480-foot (5,023-meter) volcano 84 miles (135 kilometers) southeast of Quito has been active since 1999.
In July and August of 2006, eruptions of Tungurahua killed at least four people, left two missing and forced the evacuation of thousands.

The University Theatre program will host auditions this week for the Fall 2012 season.
Open Call auditions began Aug.
20 and were held in Crafton-Preyer
Theater in Murphy Hall. They
will continue at 7 p.m. tonight.
Callbacks will then be held
Wednesday and Thursday with
the official cast lists posted Friday.
The auditions will be for the productions of "The 39 Steps," "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead," "Into the Woods" and "If the Whole Body Dies."
The Theatre Rally, which gave students information about the department and its shows, kicked off auditions week on Aug. 19. More than 80 students attended the rally, said Katherine Pryor, managing director of the theater.
Pryor said the University Theatre Committee began mapping out the full 2012-2013 season in May.
"Some of the faculty directors had already begun thinking about it around mid-March," she said.
Pryor said there were criteria for the shows chosen for the upcoming season. The committee considered the research needs of the faculty directors as well as undergraduate and design needs.
"We also take into account what the audience will enjoy, of course," Prvor said.
Auditions are open to undergraduate and graduate students of all majors.
"People think that because they're not a theater major they won't get in, but they do quite often."
"Last season I was a student representative (on the committee) so I actually got to vote," said Thom Browne, a senior from Topeka. "Overall I think we put together a fun season. We definitely have the talent to flesh it out so we can expect a lot of talent from them."
Students associated with theater department also contributed to the season's line up of productions.
browne, now a member of the Tech Crew after acting in past shows, said publicity plays a large
role in enticing audience members.
"We do a lot of publicity for every show to draw students and faculty, as well as the Lawrence community," he said. "Also, it's the high expectation of quality the audience has from us."
Jenny Curatola, a senior from Lansing, said the layout of the season will keep audiences interested.
"They're really covering all the bases this year," she said. "We have a lot of new students coming and lots of big casts to fill."
Curatola said the theater department's loyal fan base provides for a unique experience.
"For students, it's an escape from the academic world" and gives them a chance to support their friends, she said. "We have a large theater following to keep the tradition alive."

PETA to file lawsuit
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHTA. Kan. — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is threatening a free speech lawsuit against the Kansas State Fair over restrictions on the organization's booth.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri and a Kansas City law firm have agreed to represent PETA in a potential federal suit.
Attorneys have given fair officials until Thursday to rescind a demand that PETA shield passersby from any videos or pictures depicting animal slaughter.
ACLU legal director Doug Bonney said this is an obvious ACLU case because the state fair is imposing a content-based restriction on PETA's speech that is blatantly unconstitutional.

Eagle killer confesses

WICHITA, Kan. - A central Kansas man has pleaded guilty to killing a golden eagle while he was hunting coyote near Cedar Bluff Reservoir earlier this year.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 35-year-old Chad Irva, of La Crose, entered the plea Tuesday in federal court in Wichita. He was sentenced to 50 hours of community service and assessed $8,000 in fines and restitution.

Ivin admitted firing at the eagle twice after spotting it Jan. 9 in Trego County.
The injured bird was recovered and sent to the Great Bend Zoo for veterinary care. Officials said the eagle's legs were paralyzed from the shooting, and it had to be euthanized.
Irvin's sentence also includes three years of probation, during which he's barred from hunting, fishing, trapping and guiding.

Lost audio interview of King Jr. surfaces
CIVIL RIGHTS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Stephon Tull was looking through dusty old boxes in his father's attic in Chattanooga a few months ago when he stumbled onto something startling; an audio reel labeled, "Dr. King interview, Dec. 21, 1960."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But one historian said the newly discovered interview is unusual because audio of King discussing his activities in Africa is rare, while two of King's contemporaries said it's exciting to hear a little-known recording of their friend for the first time.
He wasn't sure what he had found until he borrowed a friend's reel-to-reel player and listened to the recording of his father interviewing Martin Luther King Jr for a book project that never came to fruition. In clear audio, King discusses the importance of the civil rights movement, his definition of nonviolence and how a recent trip of his to Africa informed his views. Tull said the recording had been in the attic for years, and he wasn't sure who other than his father may have heard it.
Tull plans to offer the recording at a private sale arranged by a New York broker and collector later this month.
"No words can describe. I couldn't believe it," he told The Associated Press this week in a phone interview from his home in Chattanooga. "I found ... a lost part of history."
Many recordings of King are known to exist among hundreds of thousands of documents related to his life that have been catalogued and archived.
Tull said his father, an insurance salesman, had planned to write a book about the racism he encountered both growing up in Chattanooga and later as an adult. He said his dad interviewed King when he visited the city but never completed the book and simply stored the recording with other interviews he had done. Tull's father is now in his early 80s and under hospice care.
During part of the 51-year-old interview, King defines nonviolence and justifies its practice.
"I would ... say that it is a method which seeks to secure a moral end through moral means," he said. "And it grows out of the whole concept of love, because if one is truly nonviolent, that person has a loving spirit; he refuses to inflict injury upon the opponent because he loves the opponent."
The interview took place four years before the Civil Rights Act became law, three years before King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech, and eight years before his assassination. At one point in the interview, King predicts the impact
of the civil rights movement.
"I am convinced that when the history books are written in future years, historians will have to record this movement as one of the greatest epics of our heritage," he said.
King had visited Africa about a month before the interview, and he discusses with Tull's father how leaders there viewed the racial unrest in the United States.
"I had the opportunity to talk with most of the major leaders of the new independent countries of Africa, and also leaders in countries that are moving toward independence," he said. "And I think all of them agree that in the United States we must solve this problem of racial injustice if we expect to maintain our leadership in the world."

The broker, Keya Morgan, said he believes that unpublished reel-to-reel audio of King is extremely rare and said he's confident of the authenticity of the recording based on extensive interviews with Tull, his examination of the tape and his knowledge of King. He's collected many of the civil rights icon's letters and photos.
Tull is working with a New York-based collector and expert on historical artifacts to arrange a sale.
A spokeswoman for King's daughter Bernice, head of The King Center in Atlanta, said she was traveling and couldn't comment on the audio.
"I can't think of anything better to try," Lowery said of nonviolence. "What we're doing now is not working. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Matching violence with violence. We've got more guns than we've ever had, and more ammunition to go with it. And yet, the situation worsens."
"I wish people all over America, all over the world, can hear this message over and over again," he said.
Rev. Joseph Lowery, who worked with Kirg g while a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, agreed.
U. S. Rep. John Lewis, a Freedom Rider who organized Tennessee's first lunch counter sit-in at age 19 in Nashville, said hearing King talk about the sit-ins took him back to the period when more than 100 restaurant counters were desegregated over several months.
"To ... hear his voice and listen to his words was so moving, so powerful," said Lewis, adding that King's principles of nonviolence are still relevant today.
"That to me is what's remarkable about the tape."
THE NORTH FACE
"Its clear that in this tape when he's talking ... about Africa, he saw this as a global human rights movement that would inspire other organizations, other nations, other groups around the world," said Winbush, who is also a psychologist and historian.
"I was like, wow! To hear him that crisp and clear," Morgan said. "But beyond that, for him to speak of nonviolence, which is what he represented."

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
GFMINI (Mav 21-June 20)
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You have a lot of panache, and you do not hesitate to display your passion and core feelings. By midday, you might decide to focus on a project, even if you are by yourself. Your creativity emerges no matter what you do. Tonight: Return calls and emails.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Focus on completion and getting the job done. You could be overtired or withdrawn. When you become inspired, you feel like anything is possible, however, it will be your tremendous effort that makes a difference. It is you who makes a situation change. Tonight. Relax.
You easily get sidetracked, no matter what you are doing. Honor your priorities despite others inadvertently breaking into your plans, in need of your help. You juggle this burden with sensitivity to others. A child or loved one steals the scene. Tonight: Be responsive to a friend or family member.
Understanding comes from getting past a self-imposed restraint. Also, be willing to verbalize your goals and desires. An associate lets you know that he or she has had a change of mind about a detail, but not the whole idea. Tonight: Express your naughty side.
LEQ (July 23-Aug. 22)
You could be far more possessive than you think you are. Try to be more self-aware, and listen to a partner's feedback. You might want to break a bad habit, especially if it encumbers your interpersonal communication. Tonight: Curb a desire to go on a spending spree, if possible.
VIRGD (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
You have a strong reaction, which is unlike your normally logical stance. You let others close if they cross you. Someone close to you might not be sure of what is going on, and could test this newfound assertiveness. Confirm meetings and any information that does not sound correct. Tonight: The world is your oyster.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You definitely know what you want, but getting someone to respond as you'd like could be a different story. Once more, you are reminded that you can control only yourself. Remain diplomatic yet clear. This person needs to know where you are coming from. Tonight: Go shopping for that special item.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You seem to be in your element; however, someone else might not be on the same mental plane as you. You cannot seem to get your point across. It is as if this person's mind is impenetrable. Demonstrate compassion, but don't put all your eggs in one basket. Tonight: Choose a high-energy activity.
SABITTARIS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Understand that you are in a reflective stage right now that will not last much longer. Gather all the information you need in order to make a solid decision about a project. You do not always need to be fiery when expressing your feelings. Subtle works, too. Tonight: Do not swallow your anger.
SAGITTARIIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
AIM for more of what you want, and focus on the more social aspects of your life. Be willing to verbalize more of what you desire, and you will manifest just that even more easily. Others work with you. Tonight: A friend could be too assertive.
RUBRIANDA DALI. 2014
When you take charge, others step back. You could have some difficulty sorting through a knot of confusion. You might need to go past that point to achieve the results you desire. You are freney and direct in your word choice.
Tonight. A must appearance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your ability to incorporate many different perspectives to resolve a problem comes forward right now. Listen to your sixth sense about a misunderstanding. There might not be a way to sort it out immediately. Consider letting it go. Tonight: How about some blues?

Action sequels a shot in the arm for box office
LOS ANGELES — Sylvester Stallone and his beefy buddies have muscled their way to the top of the weekend box office.
Stallone's action flick "The Expendables 2" debuted at No.1 with $28.8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That's down from the $34.8 million start for "The Expendables" two years ago.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Other wide releases opened to modest business, such as Focus Features' animated comedy "Para-Norman," about a boy leading the fight against zombies, was No. 3 with $14 million.
The Lionsgate sequel elbowed out another action tale as Universal's "The Bourne Legacy" fell to No. 2 in its second weekend with $17 million. That was a steep 55 percent drop from its $38.1 million opening weekend, though the movie's domestic total climbed to a solid $69.6 million.
minton domestically and "The Dark Knight Rises," which took in $11.1 million this weekend to cross the $400 million mark and edge past "The Hunger Games" to become the year's second-biggest hit.
But other releases such as "Dark Shadows," "Battleship," "The Watch" and "Total Recall" were duds that failed to live up to the summer's hype.
With only two weekends left in the season and no obvious hits premiering, it's unlikely that Hollywood will break last summer's record.
"Were winding down the summer and we're in the dog days of August. They're called that for a reason, because we're experiencing the typical summer slowdown, only it seems worse this year," said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Der-
garabedian.
"The Expendables 2" also pulled in $17.3 million overseas.
While the sequel drew smaller crowds than the first movie, distributor Lionsgate noted that business held up better for the new one in its second day. Revenues dipped only 3 percent from Friday to Saturday compared to 11 percent for "The Expendables," according to Lionsgate.
That's a sign that more first-night fans may be talking up the sequel, which also earned better reviews than the original.
"We believe with solid word of mouth and even critical response to the film, that bodies well for the playability," said David Spitz, Lionsgate's head of distribution. "It's the old, it's not a sprint, it's a marathon."

The presidential race is about to heat up, and with it the onslaught of negative attack ads from both sides. It is inevitable that out of the millions of dollars allocated toward the election, the attacks will pour in through advertising and the media. What is also inevitable is we will find it annoying. These attacks are not in new.

The first few weeks during the start of a new school year brings a lot of stress for everyone. It is the time to get a good start to the semester, get organized, and get into a routine. Don't let the stress overtake you and relieve the pressure by sitting down and relaxing.
Relieve stress with comedies
The best way to relax and relieve stress is to laugh a lot—and I mean a lot. It will get your mind off of those stress triggers and will improve your mood. So I have a suggestion for you: go watch a funny movie.
"The Campaign," which is currently showing in theaters starring comedian Will Ferrell, who in my opinion is one of the funniest comedic actors of our time. Ferrell plays the role of a North Carolina congressman Cam Brady. Brady is running opposed to the character Marty Huggins, played by Zach Galifianakis, who most of you all know as Alan from "The Hangover."

Huggins is not the favorite to win the campaign but as the movie progresses and the plot unfolds the race becomes much more heated and the oddball candidate is right on the tail of
Cam Brady, Brady and Huggins butt heads during the entire movie making it one of funniest movies Ferrell has done (behind "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy" of course).
With this duo of comedians, you can almost guarantee that this movie will be worth the outrageous movie theater prices. The gritty comedy will keep you laughing all 85 minutes of the film. Shawn Harwell, who is famous for writing the hit HBO comedy series "East Bound & Down," wrote the storyline, and Zach Galifianakis is turning into one of the top-rated comedians. When you combine his dumb guy character with Will Ferrell's classic comedy you are guaranteed to get a lot of laughs.
If you don't want to go to the theater you can rent or stream
the movie "Superbad." This was Jonah Hill's first big role, playing a high school kid who wants to go to a party with a friend and get popular before they go off to college. And don't forget this movie features the oh-so-famous McLovin fake ID. "Superbad" helped jumpstart Jonah Hill's acting career and is a must watch if you haven't seen it yet.
If that movie doesn't seem up to your liking, how about watching a classic comedy like "Dumb and Dumber." This movie stars a young Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels. They play the role of two poor guys who travel to Colorado to return a briefcase to Jim Carey's love interest, but their stupidity is only slowing things down and getting them into danger along the way. Jim Carey's comedies never fail to make me laugh.
So before the semester really gets tough and studying time comes, get all that bad stress out of your body and go watch a funny movie. It really will make you feel better.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Instagram: instantly annoying when abused
By AJ Barbosa
abarbosa@kansan.com
THOMAS KING
Every year or so, a new app or online start-up comes along and gives everyone from 13-year-old middle school drama queens to 55-year-old noms mothers a chance to share every detail of their mundane, regular lives with the rest of the world. The ever-powerful Facebook seems to be slowly losing out to social networking apps that are more readily available on iPhones and Android phones. Case in point: Instagram. It's been around for a while, and unless you still use Photobucket, you have it.
Instagram's pretty cool. If your friends have it and you've built a solid base of people to follow and follow you, it can get addictive. Is your buddy face down on the floor at 11 p.m. next to empty bottles of Listerine and Vodka? You better Instagram that shit. you're sitting at Kauffman Stadium and the sun is setting behind the outfield fountains? Instagram it—that girl from your COMS 130 class who you haven't talked to since finals week will probably like it. If that makes you feel better about yourself, Instagram has you covered.
Unfortunately, though, it's starting to get out of control. Just like every other social network, more users generally means more morons. Once you've made the mistake of following these clowns, your feed will get clogged with their daily idolry.
I like to think I'm somewhat of a social media connoisseur, and I'm also a natural complainer. There are a lot of ways to piss me off with your Instagram posts, but for the sake of brevity, I narrow them down to the three big, universal no-nos when it comes to posting a sub-picture in Sepia coloring.
OVER-HASHTAGGING. Technically, Instagram has the
INSTAGRAM-ING YOUR FOOD.
If you're a "like" fiend, this is a sure-fire way to score a lot of likes and comments, especially if you're the kind of jerk who posts this around lunch and dinner. It's worth noting that the only people who give you "likes" for this are either starving or compulsive binge-eaters. You wouldn't show a delicious, juicy filet mignon to a starving person, would you? I didn't think so. Don't do it on Instagram.
same hashtag system as Twitter. You can hashtag any word and once the post is live, you can click it and see any other posts in the world which share the same hashtag. With Twitter, though, hashtags are mostly used for humor (i.e. #drunk, #MizzouBasketball). Over-hashtagging on Instagram invites all sorts of weirdos from all over the world to check out your new trashy belly-button ring and give you a like and a follow. Sure, this can make you "#Instafamous," but really, being famous on Instagram is no better than being famous on a computer game message board. It sure as hell isn't going to get you laid.

STUPID #CRAFTING
SELFIES.
HOW COOL. You follow a few instructions and made something you found on Pinterest. Now you should go outside and do something with your life.
Using your phone to take a picture of your skimpy outfit or "huge" muscles in the mirror hasn't been cool since Xanga. When I see someone post a selfie, I don't they're trying to show off their outfit or fitness dedication. I think one thing: "Someone has some self-esteem issues." If that's the image you're trying to convey, go for it. Just know that the only girls who comment and say "Ur so hot!" with the Emoji flame symbols next to it have self-esteem issues, too. Nothing says "romance" like two-way compliment fishing.

NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Unlike the men's cross country team, the women don't have a clear coat. No.1 runner to lead the pack.
This year's team has a disadvantage from an elite talent level since they don't have a front runner they can rely for each race.
"It's cliche for our sport that we need a strong front five, but we don't have a clear cut No. 1," assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said. "We don't have a standout runner that we've had the last three or four years."
Not having a standout No. 1 runner isn't necessarily a bad thing. Whittlesey said it could benefit the team because it forces others to step up each race.
"When you don't have the clear cut, now everyone is pushing to try to be that No. 1 runner" Whittlesey said. "Everyone starts to realize that they have to work together to have a really tight one-two-three."
This year, the team's goal is to have a tighter top five who will push one another every day. Whittlese says
Senior Tessa Turcote, from Albuquerque, N.M., leads the group of jaywhacks, who bring back 12 letter winners and five Big 12 scorers from last season. Turcote said the team can push one another to be a No.1 runner.
"It helps us more because there isn't that clear cut and your not settling," Turcotte said. "We all want to be in that spot."
The women's cross country team has both youth and experience. The four seniors are Kyra Kilwein, Kathleen Thompson, Devin Wiegers and Turcotte. In addition, there are four redshirt freshmen, six true freshmen, three sophomores and one junior. Since the team is young, Whittlesey said he is expecting great leadership from the senior class.
Whittlesey said that any of the six true freshmen could make an immediate impact on the team.
"Everyone has put in a lot of work," Turcotte said. "Our freshmen have really stepped up and know what it means to come into a D-1 program."

Intramurals available for fall
RECREATION

As the semester begins, students return to campus to attend early morning classes, purchase overpriced textbooks and renew competitive spirit for a new season of intramural sports. The Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center will offer a variety of intramural activities this season, said intramural supervisor Usman Wajid.
The list includes basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, floor hockey, kickball and hard court volleyball. Flag football sign up started Aug. 21 and ends next Tuesday. Sign ups for dodgeball begin Oct. 16..
"I played basketball all through out high school and I just love to play," said William Nelson, a senior from Kansas City. "So to be able to play in a structured league is great and it gives me an opportunity to showcase my competitive nature."
Nelson said he played with a student from New York two years ago who didn't know anyone. By the end of the intramural season, Nelson's teammate was hanging out with several guys from the team outside of games.
Noble Stegall-Bey, a senior from Kansas City, has participated in
basketball and flag football intramurals. He said his experience offered more than typical recreation center activities.
"I loved playing in the basketball leagues because the competition level [is higher] than the normal pickup games at the Rec and I like to test my skill against higher level players."
For many students, intramurals provide both a social and competitive outlet.
Both Nelson and Stegall-Bey said they would like to try some of the different sports available at the recreation center.

K-State strives to repeat past success
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State didn't have much trouble dealing with complacency last season.
Just about every week the Wildcats were the underdogs.
cats were the underdogs.
That won't be the case after a masterful job by coach Bill Snyder resulted in a season that far exceeded expectations — 10 regular-season wins, a surprising trip to the Cotton Bowl and the emergence of quarterback Collin Klein as a Heisman Trophy candidate.
Interested students can sign up on ku.athleague.com. For more information, call 864-0787 or email imsports@mail.ku.edu.
Now, pundits are expecting No. 22 Kansas State to succeed, and for the first time since Snyder returned to the sideline, complacency could become an issue.
"The consequences sometimes are pretty astonishing." Snyder said recently. "It's kind of a bad habit to get into because it's a bad habit to break once you have gotten into it. There's a lot of trouble. As far as on the football field is concerned, we've got a lot of examples."
The Wildcats were coming off another 11-win season, which included a stunning upset of heavy favorite Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game. They went 4-7 the next year.
Kansas State was coming off an 11-3 season capped by a 35-21 victory over Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl. The Wildcats scuffed to six wins the following season.
Start with the 2000 season.
The case that might resonate most with this group, however, occurred much more recently — last season's opener against Eastern Kentucky. It's the kind of game scheduled to provide a team with

"We called it taking your performance level for granted," Snyder said, "and we did that, as you recall. It was obvious."
an easy, confidence-building win, and it would have turned into a brutal, confidence-sapping loss for Kansas State if not for a 33-yard touchdown pass with 1:33 left in the game.
Kansas State was outgained by an average of 106.8 yards in Big 12 play and ranked sixth in the league in pass defense, allowing more than 263 yards through the air.
The Wildcats return more starters this season than any since 2006, but Snyder is quick to warn that nothing should be taken for granted — remember that whole complacency issue?
"Last year people really just started tightening down their defense, giving us some very unusual looks because they weren't as concerned about our passing," co-offensive coordinator Dana Dimel said. "Now we're hoping that with the way (Klein) has improved his passing, it will create a lot more problems for people defensively."
The Wildcats probably won't be outscoring everyone this season, either, but Kansas State does intend to employ a more diverse offense. Last season it was a steady dose of Klein on the ground, with a few pass plays thrown in to keep defenses off balance.
The Wildcats learned from the scare, putting together a season that left most outside observers scratching their heads. But the Wildcats still have room for improvement.
"Consequently, the reverse effect is you have to be better on pass defense unless you decide you will line up and outscore people, which are not our kids."
Using a deep stable of running backs should help take the load off Klein, who had more rush attempts than pass attempts last season — and nearly as many yards, 1,141 on the ground to 1,918 through the air. And it should also open up the pass, particularly down the field.
It appears that the veteran team has taken Snyder's preaching to heart, too.
"just because we finished in some close games doesn't mean we're there," Klein said. "We were a better team at the end of last season than we were at the beginning, a better team at the end of spring than we were at the beginning of spring, and we've just got to make sure we're a better team at the end of camp than we were at the beginning of camp."
"We can all talk about it," Snyer said. "It's what we do about it that makes a difference."
Still, the Wildcats know that talk is cheap, and it won't be until they play Missouri State in their season opener Sept. 1 that people will start to draw conclusions about the team.
Those are the kinds of numbers that a 10-win team isn't supposed to yield.
"Most people would look at statistics and say we need to improve against the pass, which we do," Snyder said, before providing a caveat. "In this league, statistics throwing the football are going to be significantly higher than they might normally be in most conferences.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What year did the Royals go to the World Series for the first time?
A: 1980

funtrivia.com
THE MORNING BREW Royals owner cheap; inhibits success
As another Major League Baseball regular season winds down, most teams know where they stand as either pretenders, or contenders.
For my favorite team, the Kansas City Royals, they have been labeled as a pretender yet again.
After coming off an encouraging sweep of the first place Chicago White Sox over the weekend, the Royals are still 11 games out of first place, and looking to cap off yet another losing season, their ninth in a row.
By Andrew Ruszczyk
www.koson.com
So the question is why? Why have the Royals only had one winning season since 1995? Why have people under the age of 26 never seen the Royals in a playoff game? Most importantly, why aren't the Royals competitive anymore?
The answer is simple. The Royals can't compete because they don't have an owner that is willing to spend money.
By Andrew Ruszczyk
aruszczyk@kansan.com
Baseball is unlike most other sports in that there is no salary cap. This means that as long as a team is willing to spend money on high quality players, high quality players the team will get.
This is why year after year the Royals and their fans are sitting at home watching teams like the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox compete for World Series rings, something the Royals haven't achieved since 1985.
The main problem is that David Glass, the Royals owner, is cheap.
In 2000, Glass bought the Royals for the minor cost of $96 million. Now the franchises estimated value is around $354 million, according to Forbes magazine.
But despite all the money that Glass is sitting on, he refuses to increase payroll and spend money to make his team competitive. No matter how much young talent the Royals may have, you have to have money to keep these players.
In the past, the Royals have not been able to keep their star players because they simply don't have the money to pay him.
Glass is also distant from Kansas City and the fanbase. With almost no media or fan interaction, he doesn't have to answer as to why the team has been this bad for this long under his watch.
In contrast, if you drive thirty minutes west on I-70 from Kaufmann Stadium to Livestrong
Sporting Park, you will find Sporting Kansas City, Kansas City's professional soccer franchise, is making headlines for unprecedented fan support and championship performances.
KU
Sporting Kansas City is currently in first place in the Eastern conference, and they have also recently won the Lamar Hunt US Open cup.
The Kansas City based OnGoal LLC owns Sporting Kansas City. The ownership group, led by Robb Heineman, has built a world class soccer stadium that has attracted numerous sellout crowds for MLS and USA men's national team matches, and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. It has also hosted several concert events.
Heineman's twitter account is full of fan and player interaction. He cares about the team because his
company is located right here in the city Sporting's fans live in. If he fails, he understands how much it can hurt the fans, unlike Glass, who has no connection to Kansas City other than the Royals.
Now I understand that the MLS and MLB are two totally different markets, with the MLB being far more of a cash cow than the MLS. But all I want is an owner who cares enough about the city and the fans to put a competitive product on the field, so that maybe once in my life I can witness the Royals where they use to be — as a contender.

Hochevar leads Royals to defeat Tampa Bay Rays
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eric Hosmer's two-out single in the 10th inning drove in the only run in Kansas City's 1-0 Tuesday victory over Tampa Bay in a classic pitcher's duel between the Royals' Luke Hochevar and the Rays' David Price.
The run off Joel Peralta (1-5) was unearned after an error on Tampa Bay shortstop Ben Zobrist. Jeff Francour scored the run after his single preceding Zobrist's throwing error.
four hits.
Price and Hochevar both pitched eight innings, giving up a total of
Kelvin Herrera (1-1) got the win and Greg Holland pitched the 10th inning for his sixth save.
Hochevar, the first overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft, gave up one hit and struck out 10.
Price, the first overall draft pick in 2007, gave up three hits and struck out eight. It was the second time this month Price pitched eight shutout innings without getting a win to show for it.
The loss snapped the Rays' five game winning streak.
Through the first seven innings, the only player to get as far as second base was Luke Scott, who led off the Rays third with a double and advanced to third on a fly ball. It was the only hit off Hochevar.
The only other Ray to reach base in five innings was Matt Joyce, who walked and was picked first off base by catcher Salvador Perez.
The only Kansas City runner to reach second base against Price was Hosmer on a stolen base in the eighth inning.
Price, who gave up seven earned runs to the New York Mets in his most recent loss on June 13, has given up only 15 runs in 12 starts since. Those 12 starts include a franchise-record eight straight wins and a 1.56 ERA, dropping his major league-leading ERA to 2.28.
Hochevar shut out the Rays in Kansas City on June 25, but in his first three career starts at Tropicana Field he was 0-2 with an 11.20 ERA. In 10 starts since his shutout of the Rays he is 2-4.

TOP NEWCOMERS:
Texas enters the 2012 season with the No. 2 ranked signing class in the nation according to Rivals.com. This is in large part because of the commitments of two five-star's, one a stopper, the other a speedster. Running back Jonathan Gray clocked a 4.4 second 40-yard dash while defensive tackle Malcolm Brown sports a 6-feet 2-inch 280 pound frame that registered 125 tackles,
24 sacks and nine forced fumbles during his three years starting at Brenham High School in Texas. Even with 15 four-star ranked prospects this year, Gray and Brown will be intriguing players as the Longhorns look to climb back up the rankings.
OVERVIEW:
After falling to Alabama in the 2010 BCS National Championship, Texas has entered each season with high hopes of another BCS bowl and found itself outside of the final AP Top 25. The biggest issue has been the inability to lock down a solid starting quarterback since the departure of Colt McCoy. Garet Gilbert was a total disappointment (2744 yards, 10 TD, 17 INT) in his only full year at the helm of the Longhorns offense in 2010 as Texas missed a bowl game for the first time since 1997. Gilbert lost his starting job two games into last season and has since transferred to Southern Methodist University, while Texas still searches for its answer behind center.
STORY TO WATCH:
When Gilbert was pulled two games into the 2011 season, the spotlight opened up for backup quarterbacks David Ash or Case McCoy to grab, but so far neither has. The duo shared time running Texas' offense but didn't put on the spectacular showing Mack Brown was looking for. Ash went 3-3 (1,068 yards, 4 TD, 8 INT). McCoy ended up 3-2 (1034 yards, 7 TD, 4 INT). Brown will continue to split snaps between Ash and McCoy until one solidifies himself as the quarterback Brown's team needs to get back on top of the Big 12.
THEY SAID IT:
"I've got 37 years that says it will probably happen, one way or the other. And usually the players will choose them for you if not."

TOP NEWCOMERS:
The Sooners put an emphasis on offensive recruits while gathering their 2012 signees. Out of their top ten recruits ranked by Rivals, com only one plays defense — four-star linebacker Eric Striker. At the top of the class is wide receiver Trey Metoyer, a five-star recruit out of Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va. In his senior school at Whitehouse High School, Metoyer gobbled 108
passes for 1540 yards and 23 touchdowns. Scout.com named Metoyer the second best wide receiver recruit in the nation, and he could become a favorite target of Landry Jones early on.
OVERVIEW:
Oklahoma enters the 2012 season ranked fourth by the AP and rightfully so. Aside from Ryan Broyles, who graduated, all of the big guns are returning on offense starting with quarterback Landry Jones and wide receiver Kenny Stills. As the number two wideout, Jones hooked up with Stills for 61 catches, 849 yards and eight touchdowns while Oklahoma's offense ranked 10th best in the nation in scoring and fifth in passing. Even with three current conference champions in the Big 12 (TCU, Oklahoma State, West Virginia) the preseason polls opened up with the Sooners grabbing the 2012 title.
STORY TO WATCH:
Three weeks after setting the FBS record for receptions (349) in Lawrence last season, Ryan Broyles had his season end in agon when he tore his ACL against Texas A&M. Broyles had been a pillar of Sooner football and his injury jarred the Oklahoma offense. The Sooners went 2-2 over their remaining four games after only losing one in their previous eight. The losses included a 45-38 heartbreak at Baylor and a 44-10 blowout at Oklahoma in the season finale. Oklahoma will need to be able to competently replace Broyles if they hope to capture a 44th conference title
THEY SAID IT:
"I didn't ask him to have to improve on anything. I asked about ten guys around him to improve."

Williams is honored as soccer newcomer
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com
On Tuesday, freshman soccer player Ashley Williams was named the Big 12 Soccer Newcomer of the Week. This was determined from the Albuquerque native's success in the matches played on Aug. 17 and 19. Williams scored two goals in two starts in the opening games of the season. Those two goals put her tied for the Big 12 distinction entering this weekend. Williams' first goal came as the game winner in the 97th minute against University of California, Santa Barbara on Aug. 17. Her second goal came as an equalizer early in the second
half on Aug. 19, tying the game. However, Kansas gave up a late goal to Northwestern University in a 2-1 overtime loss.
Williams came to Kansas with various accolades, including New Mexico State player of the year as a high school senior

Jellyfish burn swim record hopes
Endurance swimmer Diana Nyad waves to her team after swimming a short distance from a support boat to shore in Key West, Fl., Tuesday, Aug. 21.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KEY WEST, Fla. — Diana Nyad ended her fourth attempt to swim across the Straits of Florida on Tuesday, her decades-old dream thwarted, more than anything else, by jellyfish.
Storms brewing around her and repeated jellyfish stings forced her out of the water at 12:55 a.m., her crew said. She traveled by boat close to a rocky shoreline in Key West on Tuesday afternoon, just over 72 hours after setting out from Cuba. She made a final short swim to a waiting crowd.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I've been dreaming of this crossing for 35 years now and tried it four times. And should I say that there no disappointment? No," she said. "I'm not going to get that moment of for so long."
Nyad turns 63 on Wednesday and, all told, logged 41 hours and 45 minutes of swim time. Her team acknowledged at 8 a.m., that she had to be pulled from the water, but said it had been about 20 minutes earlier, not nearly seven hours earlier as was the case. She also

stings, she appeared weary as she was helped up from the water at her arrival in Key West.
"I'm not a quitter, but the sport and this particular ocean are different than they used to be," she said. "These jellyfish are prolific. And, you know what? To me, there's no joy in that."

COMMENTARY
Outlook of wide receivers
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
There are a lot of changes surrounding the Kansas football team. New coaching staff. New approach in practice. New commercials on television motivating people to show up at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
It's a fresh start for the Javhawke
But even with all the changes, there's also veteran players who will lead the team, especially in the large group of wide receivers.
Kansas is relying on three senior wide receivers to lead the way — all with different skill sets.
Daymond Patterson desperately wants to make the most out of his senior season after a groin injury sidelined him last fall.
Patterson made all kinds of changes in his time in Lawrence. He's switched from cornerback to receiver, had three different coaches and now he is in his peak physical condition to make an impact.
Then there's Kale Pick, a player who came to Kansas hoping to compete for quarterback position. He's had some injuries, but now he is a senior and one of the more consistent workers at practice.
During training camp, coach Charlie Weis said Pick performed the best out of all the players.
Pick is never going to wow you, but he's sure-handed and reliable, something that is always needed at the receiver position.
The third senior is D.J. Beshears, the man whose speed separates him from the rest of the talented group.
He's mainly known for leading the Big 12 with 1,014 kick return yards, but he also always a threat to break a play open on the offensive side.
Edited by Lauren Shelly
Junior Christian Matthews has shown sparks of good play during spring games, but never put together a complete season.
With the receivers, it's a lot like the rest of the Kansas squad: a lot of old and a lot of new, but in the end results are what people will be happy with.
Kansas also has sophomore Andrew Turzilu and junior Chris Omigie, who are both tall players that will contend for playing time.
There are so many options that it will be hard for anyone to keep track this year.
These are a handful of the returning players that have an opportunity to make an impact, but there are new faces moving up the ranks as well.
Junior Josh Ford, a transfer from Arizona Western Community College, looks to be a down field threat for the jayhawks. He has speed to stretch the field but must fine-tune the basic skills in order to fight for playing time.
Finally there's freshman Tre Parmalee, who's had an impressive spring and now might be vying for snaps on the field.
The roster has 13 wide receivers listed on it, but at this point it's anyone's guess at who will receive the majority of the touches.
This could be a problem, but it could also make difference when opponents have to prepare for Kansas.
NABBING NO.1
PIERSON FRONT RUNNER
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
One by one, the players ran through warm-ups.
First Tony Pierson, then Taylor Cox, Brandon Bourbon and James Sims. Sidestepping through agility drills and taking turns pushing a sled 40 yards, each running back looked to outwork the man in front of him.
But the warm-ups can't change the playing time, and it's being doled out in the aforementioned order.
Even though Charlie Weis said Tuesday that most position battles have been settled, the running back core poses a different scenario than most players being jugged on the depth chart. While Tony Pierson has the number one spot locked up — until James Sims returns from his three-game suspension and looks to yank it back — Bourbon and Cox offer a different breed of running back than Pierson has to offer.
"I think with Coach Weis being big into personnel groupings, he wants a guy for a certain type of personnel" running back coach Reggie Mitchell said at the start of camp. "It's fortunate that we have those types of guys in the program. Right now, Tony (Pierson) is the only smaller (back) we have, but that's kind of how (Weis) wants it."
Pierson stands 5-foot-10, 170 lbs. and his sled pushing ability in practice Tuesday proves that he's here to be the Jayhawk's speedster, not a bruiser. The black-and-blue distinction is being fought over by the 6-foot-1, 218 lbs. Bourbon and 5-foot-11, 210 lbs. Cox while Sims is serving his suspension for violating team rules last April.
But even with Sims missing game time, he's still practicing with the team, creating a tricky situation for the coaching staff
as the jayhawks prepare to face South Dakota State, Rice University and Texas Christian University without last season's leading rusher. So while Bourbon burgers to replace Sims, he is doing so with limited practice.
"The hard thing is we have a bunch of guys who we need to give reps to," Mitchell said. "He's got to make an impact with the five or six carries he gets in practice."
And it's no different for Cox, who Weis had above Bourbon on the depth chart Tuesday.
"He's a smash-mouth football player," starting center Trevor Marronegelli said of Cox. "He caught on to the offense pretty quickly and that usually takes guys a year to learn."

Last season, before he transferred to Kansas, Cox was selected as an All-American after rushing for 1.507 yards with 14 touchdowns for the College of Siskiyou Eagles. However, he should be far from those numbers this season as a back up to Pierson, and eventually Sims.
Weis is looking for Pierson to get 10-15 carries a game — up from an average around five last season. His partner in the backfield will have to pick up significant plays, most likely in short-yardage situations, and doing so with limited reps in practice. Pierson will be getting the most, followed by Cox, Bourbon and Sims.
According to Weis, it won't be changing anytime soon.
"I see it going that way until (Sims) gets back into the action, but that is not until week four." Weis said. "As we go into this week, it will be pretty much the same. All of them will probably get reps, but in that order."

In football, every play in practice, scrimmages and games is accompanied by multiple collisions between athletes in great shape on each side of the ball. However, injuries happen even with protection. Hamstrings pull, ACLs tear and bones fracture.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
No team can avoid injuries, but the Jayhawks prepare their top backup offensive linemen to play multiple positions in case they need to step up later in the season.
"You don't always have 10 guys you can play a game with at offensive line," coach Charlie Weis said. "Sometimes to get the best players, people are going to have to be a swing tackle."
Having the offensive linemen know more than just their role on each play not only helps in an emergency but also allows them to work as a unit to protect the quarterback or create a hole for the running back to slip through.
"You can't be five individuals on the offensive line," offensive line coach Tim Grunhard said. "You need to come together and be a fist. And so everyone needs to know the role, the technique, the fundamentals and the assignments of everybody else."
Yet, blocking in one position on the offensive line can be different from another position one spot over.
"There's obviously some different things you have to do if you're a left tackle and you've
been playing guard." Grunhard said. "There's some different angles and kicks, but the basic fundamentals of getting your hands inside and getting your head back, keeping your feet in good position. You pass block with
your feet; some people think you pass block with your hands, and obviously you use your hands, but your feet get you in the best position."
Senior center Trevor Marrongelh played both guard positions before moving to his current position. Maronglielli said by learning to pass block either way, he can set up what the offense needs of him.
In Weis's pro-style offense, players need to be able to play multiple positions. For example, each receiver might have a different route, but Weis expects all of his receivers to know each receiving position and step into that role when called upon.
"The biggest part is the pass set," Marrengelli said. "It's tweaked a little bit, moving from right to left."
"When you're rotating, the defense can't key into what you're doing and bracket you and try and double you or know the tendencies of the route you run," senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson said. "So it makes it a lot harder for them."
This also allows the lajahaws to get the best 11 healthy players on the field at all times, "If one guy goes down, you don't have to actually put the next guy that's behind him in." Patterson said, "You can move somebody else from another position over there if the other guy is a better fit to go in."

Kansan makes change
IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
You'll notice some changes in The University Daily Kansan this semester.
The most obvious may be the redesign of the student paper's website, Kansan.com. The new look is completely different, with more interactive features — including the Free For All, which is now online.
And, because more students are getting their news online rather than in print, the Kansan has cut the Friday print edition and Javolay.
The redesigned website is a collaboration of web developers Tim Shedor and Andres Cruz, along with the Kansan's advertising and news staffs.
The Kansan will continue to publish online and through social media throughout the week, so readers can expect new stories every day. And to pick up the slack, the Thursday print edition has expanded to get students ready for the weekend — which everybody knows starts on Thursday anyway. It's no surprise that Friday's paper has long been the least read of the week. The Kansan is focusing its efforts on the new media: Facebook and Twitter.
And in print, Thursday's paper will feature Larryville KU Weekend, a special pull-out guide with feature stories on the fun parts of college life, as well as drink specials and an event calendar.

Garrett Rathbone casually strolls onto the pavement at Centennial Park's skatepark...

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Garrett Rathbone, a senior from McPherson, won the All Games National College Skateboarding Championships this summer. Rathbone skates at Centennial Park.
Chasey
Located near the corner of Sixth Street and Rockledge Road, skateboard in hand and friends lagging behind. He drops his skateboard onto the ground, places one foot on the board and effortlessly glides around, greeting a few of the two-dozen people already at the park. It's a Saturday morning, and Rathbone, a senior from McPherson, is doing what he usually does at this time
- he's on his board, practicing.
Rathbone's skateboarding career began when he was a 10 years old and saw a halfpipe in his uncle's backyard. Twelve years later, Rathbone is an amateur skateboarder with three sponsors: Perfect Skateboards, Vox Footwear and White Chocolate Skate Shop. He has received first, second or third place at more than 30 competitions throughout the U.S. Earlier this month, Rathbone won the Alt Games National College Skateboarding Championship in Huntington Beach, Calif., beating out 24 other collegiate skateboards.
Rathbone qualified first in preliminaries at the Alt Games on Aug. 3, gaining the advantage to skate last in the finals. Each skater was allowed 10 attempts to land tricks in the finals, and the judges scored their five best tries.
"We got grad on consistency and the hardness of the tricks landed," Rathbone said. "There's this thing called a 'kickflip backside boardslide'. Once I landed that in the finals, I had it down. That's my trick that if I land it, I know that I'm skating fairly well."
Rathbone credits his family, especially his father, Gary, with supporting his skateboarding career. Rathbone's hometown did not have a skatepark when he began skating, so Gary who works in construction, built his son a ramp. Now several ramps, three handrails, two sets of stairs and a pyramid consume the Rathbone's backyard. And it was Gary who encouraged his son to enter the national collegiate competition.
"I watched the competition last year, and I knew he could win. The other kids are college kids who skateboard. Garrett is a skateboarder who goes to college," Gary Rathbone said. "He lives for it. And I could tell. I could tell he would win."
Rathbone's roommate, Alec Smith, a junior from Paola, met Rathbone two years ago Centennial Park. They have been skating together ever since.
"We come nearly everyday," Smith said. "We try to, anyway. Some days we're not feeling it.
but most days we are. We come even if we don't feel like it sometimes."
Even with a full-time job and graduation in sight,he will continue to skate a few hours a day, seven days a week.
"Skateboarding is fun. I'm going to skate until it doesn't get fun anymore," he said. "Skateboarding is independent, and I like that. It's cool relying on yourself and taking orders from yourself. But it's also very communal, and sometimes it's just fun bombing hills, riding down the street, skating as fast as possible with your friends, about to eat crap if you hit a rock and not caring."
Gary and Sharon Rathbone still get nervous when they watch their son compete. However, Rathbone's parents now watch from their living room television rather than the sidelines of a skatepark. They said they would continue to encourage their son's skateboarding however long and far he goes
"I think he can go quite a ways," Gary said. "It's always been the most important thing in his life."

Students continue triathalon
MAGGIE YOUNG
The KU Social Media Triathlon is challenging students to use Twitter, Instagram and Foursquare to promote Jayhawk pride and school spirit from August 14 to 31. Participants are encouraged to complete each "leg" of the triathlon and post their contribution to Twitter using the #exploreKU hashtag.
SOCIAL MEDIA
myoung@kansan.com
The Twitter Hawku is the first leg of the triathalon. Students write a three-line poem about their favorite place on campus. Once the Hawku is completed, students take an Instagram photo demonstrating what the University means to them.
--from Overbrook, said she enjoyed the Instagram aspect the most.
Rhiannon Rosas, a sophomore
To cross the finish line, students must check in at a campus location on Foursquare. Participants can complete in one or all three legs. If students finish all three legs of the triathlon, they will be entered into a random drawing to win one of six grand prizes including VIP tickets to Late Night at the Phog, an iPad, a tour of Allen Fieldhouse and Anderson Family Football Complex and more.
Justin Henning, the social media manager for the Office of Marketing Communications, is overseeing the competition, and the entire marketing communications and public affairs team helped organize and bring this event to life.
"I'm also a photographer and campus is so gorgeous, so why not take a bunch of pictures of it for everyone to see." Rosas said.
KU is ranked first in social media among universities by TrackSocial, so this triathlon will further the success and campus engagement.
"We want students to make this campus their own and find success in the classroom, connect with student groups that fit their interests and make some friends," Henning said. "Really just have some fun as they discover all that campus has to offer."

Schmidt tries to stop gang violence
GANG FREE
GANGS
KANSAS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt launched an initiative Wednesday aimed at educating the public about the warning signs of gang activity.
During a statewide tour with stops in Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita, Schmidt announced a new website and partnership with law enforcement to reduce the number of gang members and curb criminal activity.
"The idea is really very simple. We know we have a gang issue in Kansas," said Schmidt, a Republican and former Senate majority leader. "We also know that most Kansans really don't understand the nature of it, the extent of it, or even the geography of it."
PETER MORRIS
He said the problem isn't confined to the state's largest cities or the suburbs that ring it, noting that earlier this year federal agents coordinated with local authorities to arrest and charge some 30 individuals on gang-related charges in Dodge City in southwestern Kansas.
During a news conference at the Law Enforcement Center in Topeka on Wednesday, Aug. 22, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced a new initiative to combat gang activity in Kansas. "Gang Free Kansas is a new educational initiative led by the Kansas Attorney General's Office, Kansas Bureau of Investigation and law enforcement officials from across the state to combat the growth of criminal gangs," Schmidt said.
Among the coalition of partners joining the attorney general's effort are the Kansas Association of Chiefs of Police, the Kansas Sheriffs Association, Kansas Highway Patrol, Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Kansas District Attorneys Association.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Topeka Police Chief Ron Miller said his department was aware of the gang problem in the capital city and where they often operated. But he said the problem is difficult to tackle and that gangs often have interwoven associations because of family relations or other connections that can blur what the public perceives to be gang activity.
Miller said that the city had

The materials include tips about warning signs that a youth might be involved with a gang or recruited by one. Those signs include tattoos, bruising, using unusual hand signs or
Schmidt said community awareness and education can help identify if gang activity is occurring and how to contact law enforcement for assistance. The online materials are available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. He said the online
materials would continue to expand as the members of the coalition determined what was appropriate and needed to inform the public.
"This is not a law enforcement problem. This is a community problem," he said.

Killing of a warlord leads to protest and creates instability in Tajikistan
DUSHANBE, Tajikistan— Tajikistan government troops opened fire Wednesday on a crowd protesting the unexplained killing of an influential local leader in an eastern town, local residents say.
This impoverished ex-Soviet nation still bears the scars of the five-year civil war that is estimated to have killed more than 60,000 people. Tajikistan's location also makes it strategically
Witnesses say two people were reportedly injured after hundreds gathered in front of Khorog regional headquarters to demand an explanation for the overnight death of Imumnazar Imumnazarov, a former warlord during the country's civil war in the 1990s.
Danger of further conflict appeared to have been forestalled earlier this month by armed groups agreeing to hand over hundreds of weapons.
Authorities would not comment on the incident when contacted by The Associated Press. While organized crime is known to be rife in remote areas of Tajikistan, many analysts believe the government has launched a crackdown on former warlords as a pretext for stamping its authority on areas of the country not entirely under its control.
The renewed instability in the remote Gorno-Badakhshan autonomous province, which shares a long border with Afghanistan, comes weeks after armed clashes between troops and local armed groups left around 50 people dead.
important to the U.S. war effort in Afghanistan as an important supplies route.
Immunnazarov — one of four former warlords active during the civil war — was sought with the four others by authorities last month on charges including drug and tobacco smuggling. Two of the men surrendered to authorities earlier this month, but Immunnazarov and another man remained at large.
Government forces opened fire after some threw stones at the building, wounding at least two people in the legs, eyewitnesses said.
The hunt was ostensibly sparked by last month's murder of Abdullo Nazarov, a general in Tajikistan's national intelligence service, which authorities blamed on one of the warlords, Tolib Ayombekov, who has already surrendered.
Telephone connections to Khorog were severed following the events.
Immunmazarov's brother and other members of his entourage were injured in the armed attack on his home Tuesday night. Due to injuries sustained during the war, Immunmazarov was incapacitated at the time, and also bed-ridden with diabetes.
Residents in Khorog said hundreds of mostly young people attending his funeral gathered at the regional administration building on Wednesday to allege the government's involvement in the killing.

Marriage fraud case falls through
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The cousin of a Kansas soldier testified Wednesday that she introduced him to a Jamaican woman and helped arrange the couple's wedding so that the soldier could receive extra money from the military and the woman could get legal immigration status.
Tawanna Priest-Stewart told jurors in the trial of Shannakay Hunter that she paid $70 for the couple's marriage license and helped make the travel plans for Hunter to travel from New York to Kansas in May 2010 to marry Joshua Priest, who was then an Army private stationed at Fort Riley. The couple had not met before then.
"I am not saying I didn't know it was wrong at the time, but it seemed like a good idea even though everybody in the situation knew it was wrong," Priest-Stewart said.
Hunter, 28, faces federal charges of conspiracy to commit marriage fraud, marriage fraud and lying to the government. Priest, 23, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit marriage fraud in a deal with prosecutors, who agreed to leniency in exchange for Priest's testimony against his wife.
Two of Priest's former girlfriends and another friend also took the
stand to testify that Priest had told them the marriage was not real.
"He told me it was a contract marriage. He told me he did it because she wanted her green card and he wanted to move off post," said Arlycia Bowden, an Army specialist who had lived with Priest in Junction City for four months in while he was married to Hunter.
Priest's superiors at Fort Riley detailed for the jury a meeting they had with Hunter when she came to the base asking that they order him to go to New York for her immigration hearing. They told jurors Priest later acknowledged to them that he had been defrauding the government with the false marriage.
Sgt. David Gentz testified he called immigration authorities and the Department of Homeland Security to report the suspected fraud. He told jurors he just "didn't feel that it was right" so he needed to intervene.
The defense opened its case by putting on the stand a domestic abuse victim advocate who testified about a January domestic abuse incident that sent Hunter to the hospital with chest contusions after Priest punched her in the chest.

Students look to help locals
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
Super Service Saturday is one of many opportunities for students to get involved with the Lawrence community and connect with other Kansas students through volunteer work.
Center for Community Outreach will be hosting Super Service Saturday this weekend. Students can sign up to volunteer from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Big 12 room in the Kansas Union. Free pizza and T-shirts will be provided. At 1 p.m. students will be shuttled to their desired volunteer locations and shuttled back to the Union at 3 p.m.
"We are in this community and we are at KU but sometimes we don't really feel Lawrence around us," said Jill Wendorott, CCO executive director. "By volunteer-ing with the CCO, you can really reach out and connect with your community. You get to see more of the city and you get to interact with a lot of people."
During Super Service Saturday, students will also learn about the 13 volunteer programs that are coordinated by the Center for Community Outreach. The programs have their volunteer services once or twice a week or monthly. Students can also sign up on the CCO website, www.cco.ku.edu, or by showing up at a volunteer site during the times of service.
Each of the 13 programs has different volunteer opportunities. The jobs include working with children in music, teaching, gardening, working with the elderly, helping the homeless and working in health areas.
"The retention of volunteers is always a problem." Wenderott said. "The CCO doesn't require people to RSVP, and you don't have to be totally committed."
The CCO, located in the Kansas Union, reaches out to about 3,000 volunteers a year. Along with its ongoing programs, the CCO organizes service days, such as Super Service Saturday. Other popular service days make up Into The Streets Week, which takes place in the spring.
"Making those connections with people who have the same interests as you and the same passion for giving back to the community gives you that personal benefit," said Nikki Boggess, CCO managing director. "Seeing the way you affect people with your community service is amazing."
United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center, 2518 Ridge Court, is another volunteer organization in Lawrence. It works with more than 100 volunteer agencies. A list of agency locations, volunteer needs and sign-ups are available at www.volunteerdouglascounty.org.
United Way director Lori Johns said the Boys and Girls Club is a popular volunteer spot for
college students.
"We get a lot of KU students looking for volunteer opportunities to get involved with the community of where they are going to school, or for a class, or maybe they just want to check out a specific field of interest," Johns said.
Volunteering at a hospital helped Eric Sparks, a senior from Topeka, come to a realization.
"It gave me appreciation for the amount of work it takes to keep a hospital going." Sparks said. "Just being there helped me figure out that med school wasn't quite for me."
Kelsey Corrigan, a junior from Olathe, said she is passionate about health and wellness for children. She has volunteered with a Kansas City organization. Girls in the Run, for the past four seasons. Last season she helped a girl who wasn't physically active become excited about running.
"It has to do with what I'm studying in school," Corrigan said. "It gives me a good sense of well-being because I'm actually doing something to benefit people. Philanthropy is huge. It's important to give back. We've been given our talents for a reason."

Judge closes off pretrial hearing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KINGMAN, Kan. (AP) — A southern Kansas judge said he closed a pretrial hearing in a first-degree murder case against a former law enforcement instructor because he didn't want to taint the jury pool in a county with just more than 7,800 residents.
With a county jury pool of less than 5,000 people, Kingman County Judge Larry Solomon said he didn't want to risk any of them being exposed to inadmissible evidence that could prevent Brett Seacat from getting a fair trial.
Seacat, 36, of Kingman is accused of intentional murder in the shooting death of his wife, Vashi Seacat, in their home on April 30, 2011. Investigators found Vashi Seacat's body among the charred remains of the home where the couple lived
with their two sons, ages 2 and 4, The Wichita Eagle reports.
Solomon said Wednesday that it's the first time in his 23 years on the bench that he excluded the news media and public from what is normally an open proceeding.
Seacat has pleaded not guilty. His defense team has suggested Vashi Seacat committed suicide, based on a coroner's inability to rule her death a homicide due to severe heat damage to her body.
"I have an extremely small county and an extremely小 jury pool" compared to other counties where high-profile cases have been heard, Solomon said in court. He said he expects 12 to 15 percent of the jury pool will be called to fill out juror questionnaires, which is "unheard of in this county."

Federal officials say nothing they have seen so far in the video shows meat from cows that may have been sick made it into the food supply, but interviews with employees were ongoing.
Slaughterhouse under investigation
The suspensions occurred after an animal welfare group's covert video showed cows that appeared to be sick or lame being beaten, kicked, shot and shocked in an attempt to get them to walk to slaughter.
"There are behaviors in the video which appear to be unacceptable and would not adhere to the standards we demand of our suppliers." McDonald's said in release.
FRENSO, Calif. (AP) — The federal government and McDonald's Corp. suspended purchases of meat Wednesday from a California slaughterhouse under investigation for animal cruelty and possible health issues.
The video was shot in June and July by an undercover operative for the group Compassion Over Killing who worked at the plant and also gave a written statement to the USDA about events not

on tape.
The Hanford slaughterhouse is in the same city where a dairy cow at a rendering plant was discovered in April to have mad cow disease. The USDA said earlier this month it was an isolated case and didn't pose a threat to the food supply.
It's against the law to slaughter a non-ambulatory animal for food out of concern that it could be infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease.
Central Valley Meat Co. primarily slaughters dairy cows that have lost their value as milk producers.
The USDA bought 21 million pounds of beef from the company in 2011 for the national school lunch and other federal food programs.
Records show the government made five large-scale purchases of ground and chunk beef, spending more than $50 million of the total $135 allocated by the government for such acquisitions that year.
This still image made from video provided by Compassion Over Killing, appears to show workers at a Central California slaughterhouse bungling the slaughter of cows. Federal regulators shut down the slaughterhouse Tuesday, Aug. 21,
USDA spokesman Justin DeJong said he did not know to which government food programs the beef was allocated. The meat generally goes to the national school lunch program and food distribution on Indian reservations, and is available for discount purchases by community food banks.
"The department works to ensure that product purchased for the federal feeding programs meets stringent food safety standards and that processors comply with humane handling regulations;" the USDA said in a statement.
The video appears to show workers bungling the slaughter of cows struggling to walk and even stand. Clips show workers kicking and shocking cows to get them to stand and walk to slaughter.
McDonald's also said it had suspended purchases of meat from the slaughterhouse. The company did not immediately say how much meat it had been buying. But a spokesman for the
chain said the percentage of meat purchased from the slaughterhouse was in the single digits.
Regional fast-food chain In-N- Out Burger previously suspended purchases after learning of the allegations of inhumane treatment.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture acted quickly to shut down Central Valley Meat Co. of Hanford on Monday after the video documented the treatment of dairy cows.

WICHITA, Kan. — A southeast Kansas couple who operate a joint beauty salon and gun shop are facing federal firearms charges.
Joint beauty, gun shop face firearms charges
The U.S. Attorney's office says 50-year-old lefrey Eberhart was charged Wednesday with unlawful possession of a firearm and dealing firesarms without a license. Forty-one-year-old Tracey Hart is charged with aiding a felon in possessing firearms and providing firearms to a convicted felon.
The Eberharts run Traceys Dream Weavers Salon and Sporting Goods in Augusta, which marketed guns to women.
Investigators said Tracey Eebert failed to mention her husband — a convicted felon — when she sought a federal license to sell firearms. Agents reported seeing Jeffrey Eebert selling guns at Dream Weavers' booth at a January gun show in Topeka.
Neither Eberhart has an attorney. A call to their shop was unanswered.

EDITORIAL
before and after the hour.
At one time, movie themes and genres were original but like Carly Rae jepson's song "Call Me Maybe," the plots are overplayed. If you take away sequels, remakes, and movies adapted from books, you're left with animated movies and not much else.
I think the reason we're not a top 20 party school is our shirt is way too together. Start losing it, people!
If you are not a patient person, do the rest of us a favor and refrain from driving on campus twenty minutes before and after the hour.
I don't mean to sound like Randy from most of the "Scream" movies, but I think there are certain rules writers should abide by before making a sequel. The most important rule being that unless you can provide viewers a better experience than the original and add to the plot, it isn't worth our time or the studio's time.
The same goes for remakes. I recently saw the 2012 remake of "Total Recall" and the best part

was the hot dog and nachos from the concession stand. There were some pretty important aspects missing from the original movie. For example, it took place on Mars. Also, anyone who has seen the original remembers the reactor at the end that Arnold Schwarzenegger activates with his hand. So many of these little details that were monumental in movie-goers' fondness of this film were overlooked and filled with graphics and high-tech chase scenes in the new "Total Recall." Movie studios see dollar signs because the original was a hit. It was a hit for a reason. You can't expect to just film a remake and expect to hit gold.

This is where my rule comes into effect. If you can't at least raise the bar and bring something new to the film, you should just stop. Let audiences enjoy what was and not ruin good memories.
There are just too many examples of greedy studios trying to capitalize on the successes of films in a series that they just keep going until they are so far from the storyline of any of the other films. Case-in-point: Indiana Jones. Talk about a movie that has been ruined for me.

It wasn't based off a book or part of a vampire-sucking series, but instead it was fresh and different. It also made over $800 million, so it seems a lot of people agreed. It's one of those movies you could watch again and again, mainly to figure out the ending.

In college, more freedom means more responsibility
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
The best part about college also happens to be the worst part about college; you don't have to go to class if you don't want to.
I took advantage of this practice several times my freshman year at the University of Kansas, and my grades certainty showed it. After my first semester, I was staring down academic probation with a 1.33 GPA, and risking expulsion if I didn't pick up the slack the following semester.
I want to tell everyone to learn from my story. "Go to class," I tell them. "Don't be like me." But everyone has heard this over and over, from his or her parents to their ex-teachers from high school. They all said the same thing: study hard, or else you'll be back here asking if customers want fries with their Big Mac.
Most of the new students at Kansas this semester are finally free, independent from all the shackles that a high school student had to suffer through for four years. Your mom can't tell you when to be on home a school night anymore, and if you want to eat pizza at 3 a.m. on a Wednesday night, go right ahead.
But of course, there are always consequences, and with more freedom comes more responsibility. You can go out every night and party with all the other college kids that seem to think the next four years are just for fun instead of the first step to your career, but eventually reality will set in, and you will have to make up for lost time.
That reality set in for me over winter break of my freshman year. While staying at home with
my parents over the break, they sat me down and had a "serious discussion" with me over my future, and whatever the hell I just did in the recent past. They had to remind me that if I wasn't going to focus, I'd be throwing thousands of dollars away, and would get nothing in return.
When I look back, it's just sad. There I was, a freshman in college, not understanding the gravity of my own situation. Constantly telling myself I had everything under control while my transcript said the opposite.
The following semester, I did get my act together, but it still wasn't great. Not until I changed my major did I finally feel like I belonged at Kansas and had a chance to graduate.
This past Monday was the first day of my senior year, and many of my friends are shocked that I'm actually graduation on time. Although in May, when I walk away from Lawrence with a degree, there will still be uncertainty. As of right now, I have no idea what I'm actually doing with my life. But I'll be a lot better off with a degree in my hand than sitting back at home in my parents basement wondering what could have been if I just would have tried harder.
So, let this be a warning to you. I'm not your parent, or your high school counselor, or even that college drop-out your high school principal brought in to try to teach you a lesson. No, I'm one of your classmates that's been in the exact spot you're in, and if you don't want to listen to those I've already mentioned, at least take it from a kid that has lived through the situation.
Going to class and actually trying is the only reason you're in college. Lawrence is a great college town, but remember, you're here for more than the nightlife.

Prince Harry in the flesh
entertainment
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Photographs of a naked Prince Harry in a Las Vegas hotel room have popped up online.
Celebrity gossip site TMZ.com published two pictures of the 27-year-old royal cavorting with what they called a mystery woman in a VIP suite.
Harry appeared nude. It wasn't clear if the woman was naked.
TMZ said Prince Harry disrobed Friday during a game of strip billiards in his VIP suite. The pictures show a pool table but it wasn't clear whether there were others in the room.
The celebrity website said the
prince and a large entourage had gone down to a hotel bar and invited some women up to his room.
Prince Harry's office confirmed Wednesday that the photos were of the prince but declined to make any further comment.

This concert gives students an opportunity to meet new friends while enjoing the indie music.
Flynn, guitarist and singer of Quiet Corral.
"I think it'll be a good night. It's the first big night back for students. We have a lot of friends coming and are definitely hoping for a big turnout," said Isaac
The 9th floor terrace of The Oread, referred to as The Nest, will allow attendees to experience local music with a view of the whole town.

Everyone is welcome and the doors open at 7 p.m.

FILM REVIEW
A Sixth Sense
LANDON MCDONALD
moviegeek57@gmail.com
The kids are all right, even the ones who talk to the dead.
On the surface, there's a lot about "ParaNorman" that seems familiar. Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a timid, lonely kid whose clairvoyant gifts have made him a pariah at school and a stranger in his own home. His parents, already concerned over his fondness for zombie movies, can't help but worry when they hear him conversing with his recently deceased grandmother (Elaine Stritch) and a host of other transient spirits. Norman's only friend with a pulse is the tubby, exuberant Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), who accompanies Norman on his quest to lift an age-old curse after a wild-eyed hobo (John Goodman) reveals a dark secret involving the town's infamous witch trials.
At first the story seems like standard kiddy fare, where the outsider becomes the hero after realizing some great destiny. Yet the spindly, careworn animation, coupled with pitch-perfect voice acting and a synth-heavy sound-track worthy of John Carpenter, transcend the deceptively simple narrative. "ParaNorman" may lack the emotional heft of "Monster House" or Laika's previous effort "Coraline," but it more than makes up for it in terms of style and vision. The painstaking process of stop-
motion, this time coupled with CGI augmentation, has certainly never looked better.
Smit-McPhee, so memorable in "The Road" and the supremely underrated "Let Me In," voices Norman with just the right level of oddball tenacity. Anna Kendrick channels bossy older siblings everywhere as Norman's sister Courtney, whose indifference toward her brother is only rivaled by her affection for neighborhood gym rat Mitch, played by Casey Affleck in a role that defines against-type casting. Goodman, one of our most valuable character actors, brings his usual husky, guttural gusto to the mysterious Mr. Prenderghast.
In the end though, the film's real impact comes from its ability to evoke the viewer's own inner weird kid, that part of us who still remembers what it's like to be alone, afraid or unwanted. Compassion, it seems to argue, is a two-way street. At one point a character asks Norman if he ever thinks about getting revenge on his schoolyard tormentors. His answer: "Sure, but what good would that do?" For a movie so taken with death, "ParaNorman" is often strangely life-affirming.

MOVIES
A Chuck Norris joke too many
LANDON MCDONALD
moviegeek57@gmail.com
Expendables 2 falls flat despite star-studded cast.
The "Expendables" franchise was founded on a seemingly noble desire to remind viewers of a time when action heroes were free from moral ambiguity, psychological complexity or anything resembling identifiable human emotions. All those Reagan-era supermen ever needed were big guns, bigger explosions, thick accents to compliment their Charles Atlas physiques, and an arsenal of one-liners to remind the audience it was all in good fun. Their best movies were cheap, cheerfully disposable entertainment. So why does Simon West's "Expendables" 2 feel disposable?
After a lackluster debut, this was supposed to be the big box office hit, the cheesey equivalent of "The Avengers", that would finally unite the entire pantheon, including the oily trinity of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis, for a final shot at cinematic glory. The result is a fitfully plotted, borderline-nonsensical exercise in excess that is sure to please only the most undemanding fans. When the highlight of a movie is Chuck Norris telling a Chuck Norris joke, something has gone horribly wrong.
The story hinges, yet again, on Barney Ross (Stallone), his right-hand man Lee Christmas (Jason Statham) and their merry band of mercenaries, a revolving roster of roustabouts including everyone from UFC legend Randy Couture to beloved Old Spice spokesman Terry Crews. The team is hired by CIA slewfoot Mr. Church (Willis) to hunt down a plutonium-pinching megalomaniac (Jean-Claude Van Damme), whose surname Vilain demonstrates the level of wit on display here.
Perhaps the film's worst offense can be found in its marketing, which promised a feature length team-up instead of a series of insipid, self-indulgent cameos. Blink and you're apt to miss Jet Li's Wushu master and Liam Hemsworth as the teams resident whippersnapper. Schwarzenegger is willing but wasted in his role as a rival mercenary, spouting recycled wirescrack before disappearing for long stretches of the film. Stallone, meanwhile, seems nearly omnipresent, slurring his way through indecipherable speeches about honor and loyalty that always seem to end with him
lighting an already-lit cigar.
West, a filmmaker whose career got off to a promising start with "Con Air," knows how to stage an action scene, yet fails to produce anything memorable here, with the possible exception of Jason Statham's monastery knife fight with several of Vilain's henchmen. Statham, the Cockney brawler who previously starred in West's entertaining remake of "The Mechanic," is the only Expendable giving a performance instead of an impersonation. His one-sided banter with Stallone marks an occasional reprieve from a film that otherwise smacks of contempt and compromise. Old-school action fans deserve better.

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
AUGUST 23
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 4
How you focus your energy will change substantially. You suddenly will concentrate on joint financial matters and agreements. You might find that a partner can be very difficult. The good news is that this, too, will pass. The bad news is that you will have to put up with it in the meantime. Tonight: A discussion does not need to turn into a fight.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is in F
Today is a 5
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 5
Your popularity seems to soar. Do not question the moment; simply enjoy it. You also discover that someone is on your case, whether you feel this is fair or not. Remember, there always are alternatives. You will be able to move a difficult situation in the right direction. Tonight: Who, where and what?
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 5
Today is a 5
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 5
Your ability to do research and find answers emerges, perhaps by necessity. Confusion seems to surround a key question. You might very well decide to find your own solutions. Others who know your abilities will be more relaxed, too. Tonight; Take a walk by water, or choose some other stressbuster.
Keep expressing your feelings, but do not be surprised if you get an odd reaction midway. Be generous when dealing with this person. Your compassion will come back tenfold. Schedule time to do some shopping ASAP. Tonight: Buy that special item.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is o.2
You have a big imagination. Often, that can be a positive thing, and other times this gift can be a double-edged sword. Use your ingenuity to figure out how to handle a financial matter. Make sure you are not walking through quicksand before you act. Tonight: Let the fun begin.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 4
Today is a 3
Stress has a way of building if you are not careful, especially if there is a misunderstanding between you and someone else. Stay centered by paying attention to your general feelings toward that person. If you can, avoid letting a difficult situation become even more difficult. Tonight: Express your fieriness.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 5
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
Today is a 3
You might be more out of sorts than you realize. Could you be misinterpreting others' words? Don't read too much into what is being said. Remain caring, and initiate a conversation to clear out a problem later today. Tonight. Talks over dinner.
You are in your element. You could be confused by a boss or older friend. This person not only is confusing you, but also him- or herself, the more he or she talks.
Be diplomatic. Tonight: Whatever you do, choose a physical activity. You need to let off steam.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 4
Know when to pull back. You might feel as if you must do something, but in reality you do not know what that is. You will figure it out if you can stay centered. A caring gesture toward a loved one at a distance draws an exciting response. Tonight. Take some much-needed time.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 3
You know what you want, and you know that you have no interest in stopping. You will be more centered than you have been in a while. A meeting proves to be most instrumental in helping you focus on a long-term goal. Tonight: Where the crowds are.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 5
Note how much pressure builds to get you to do certain things in a particular way. Explain why you do what you do. The more you are pushed, the more you push back. That trait cannot help you in the long run. Tonight: Try to be more reasonable.
AUGUST 24
You want more information, and you are determined to get it. An initial attempt at being direct might not work, and actually could backfire. Detach from the immediate problem; the answers will appear. Tonight: Let your mind wander to good music.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 3
You might be somewhat bothered by a dream or premonition you have this morning. Though you typically are cynical of intuition, especially your own, you might try honoring it today. News or an invitation could be instrumental to a new start. Why not go for it? Tonight: Wherever there is music.

Focus on what you need to do get done; avoid getting sidetracked by others. You can kick back when you finish. A late lunch could become an early dinner. Don't worry
-- just enjoy it. Reach out for someone at a distance. Is time for a mini-trip? Tonight: Join friends and/or associates.
You might need to repeat yourself in several different ways to make your point or even just to be heard. You could be frustrated by someone's ambiguity. Any attempts at communication could be difficult later today. Return calls and schedule meetings. Tonight. Go to a favorite spot.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today is a 5
Leo (July 23-Aug.22)
Today is a 5
Be aware of what someone has to offer. You have the same versatility, but a different set of skills. Together, you make quite a team. A loved one or child needs extra attention. Detach, and look at the whole picture. Tonight. Be careful with your finances.
Your actions make all the difference in a domestic matter that goes from confusing and disappointing to very pleasing. Zero in on a long-term goal if you really want it to happen. You might be surprised at the results of one day. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Stay close to what is familiar to you, as right now there could be a sense of confusion. You might want to rethink your communication style. Confirm appointments. Do not get upset about a partner's or dear friend's vagueness. Tonight: Home is where the heart is.
A meeting could go longer than you intended. You might want to postpone it until the end of the day. Your finances could seem strange at first, whether it is because of an offer or difficulty realizing a momentary goal. Don't worry, you will be able to clarify the situation. Tonight: Favorite spot, favorite people.

AUGUST 25
Aries (March 21-April 19)

tension builds surrounding a superior or a community and/or business situation. Your intentions might be well-meaning, but others do not receive your ideas clearly until you reiterate your reasoning several times. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 4
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 5

Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 4
A partnership (and maybe not yours) demands attention. Whether you're helping a couple or actively relating to a partner or loved one, you have your hands happily full. You might not have the fiery get-up-and-go that others have, but you more than make up for it today. Tonight. How about dinner for two?
Make it your pleasure to defer to a friend, family member or loved one. You could afford to be docile and supportive, as you also demand a lot of support and feedback at times. A child or loved one is overscious. You know how to help this person lighten up. Tonight: Go with an offer.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 5
Plunge into a project that you feel has been on the back burner for too long. Your ability to listen and honor others' ideas is high. Feel free to reject their ideas as well. You have a strong sense of what works for you. Let go of an upright attitude. Tonight. Choose only what you want to do.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 4
You continue to communicate as you always have, but you discover that others now immediately grasp what you are saying. See the difference a day or so makes? A call is packed with good news, which puts a smile on your face all day long! Tonight: Enjoy visiting over dinner.
You certainly know how to take a day off and enjoy yourself. Your choices vary according to your age and lifestyle. Choose something you absolutely love to do and share it with someone else. Clearly, you understand the benefits of give-and-take on all levels. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 3
Do some price comparison before buying a big item. You still might go overboard, but at least you'll know why you chose what you did. This realization might eliminate any guilt. Do not let any negativity or insecurity impact your mood. Tonight: Treating again?
AUGUST 26
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 3
You whiz by others with a smile and lots of energy. Sure enough, certain people will want to know more. Expect inquiries, calls and tentative invitations. (The people doing the inviting probably want to join you in your good mood.) Tonight: Only what makes you smile.
Take a step back from the here and now, especially if you have been negative or judgmental as of late. Try to walk in someone else's shoes in order to understand where this person is coming from. You will be more open-minded as a result. Tonight: No crowds, please.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 5
A responsibility requires your attention, though it could be quite pleasant. Whether you are visiting with an older friend or relative, or bringing others together for an event, people naturally seem to interact with you. Follow your instincts; they probably are right-on. Tonight. Tip out tomorrow.
Go where your friends are and where life at times seems silly yet meaningful. Your group of pals is one of the most important parts of your life. Do not get into anything that could prevent you from your primary agenda. Tonight: Let the party continue.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 3
Today is a 3
Stay close to home; most of today's action takes place where you live. You also might need some extra R and R. Curb a tendency to spend money when you become upset. It might work in the here and now, but not in the long run. Try to avoid internalizing your anger. Tonight: Make it as easy as possible.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 5
Keep reaching out for someone who can be flaky at times. A partner also could be feisty; let it go for now. You clearly see life from a different perspective, and therefore are able to respond to a key person in your own way. Tonight: Consider taking an "escape" weekend.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 5
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 4

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 3
Make a point to connect with someone important in your life on a one-on-one level. Try to have a discussion that you have been putting off, yet be willing to hear and internalize the other side. You might think you know why someone acts in a certain manner, but you cannot know for sure. Tonight: With a favorite person.
Be aware of others' boundaries, as well as your own. Honor them if you want to stay out of trouble. If you become angry about a situation, look at what you could have done to prevent this issue. Take responsibility. Tonight: Treat a friend or loved one to dinner.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 4
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
Today is a 3
You could be questioning your options. You might want to mix together different friends and loved ones from various walks of life. Remember, they all have a common denominator — you — and therefore do have something in common. Tonight: Host a spontaneous get-together.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5
You will do whatever you need to gain the support of one person or several people. For some, a smile is enough. For others, you might have to prove something important. Be willing to adapt your plans, especially if a special invitation appears. Tonight: It is your call.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22)
Today is a 3
Pace yourself, as you might have a lot to do. A roommate or family member clearly wants you to help or pitch in. You have little choice if you would like to keep the peace. You'll change plans and adapt to someone's schedule. Tonight: Put your feet up.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is a 3
Visit with an older friend or relative. This person enjoys your company and values your presence far more than you might realize. If you want to make other plans, do so, but only, after you make this trip. Good news occurs on the homefront. Tonight: Visible and loving the moment.
Be willing to claim your space, and try not to respond to a demanding person. You usually are there for him or her. It might not have occurred to this person that he or she is as demanding as it appears. Be willing to gently approach the topic. Tonight: Not to be found.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 5
Tap into your imagination, and know what you would like to happen. Keeping that in mind, try to think of different paths to your goals. Share some of these ideas with a friend you can often bounce ideas off of. Tonight: Brainstorm away.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 5
Follow your friends, and you can't go wrong. You might think you won't enjoy what the activity is, but the camaraderie will be worth it. Make time for a call to someone you treasure but who is not often available. Tonight: Pursue your goals.

Students need to change
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Your first week of syllabi and lectures are almost over, freshmen.
almost over, freshmen,
but there's still more to learn. The
University of Kansas has some of
the best traditions in the country,
but there's always room for
improvement. Reaching the upper-
classman is useless at this point,
so it's up to you, class of 2016.
Here are a few tips to make your
first year on campus better for everyone:
-It's not "Home of the Chiefs." Many of you will hear this for the first time in a few weeks in Memorial Stadium, a version of The Star-Spangled Banner praising a pro football team in a different state. Like the wave at a baseball game, the "Home of the Chiefs" chant is passed down annually without question, purpose or intelligence. Before joining your drunken cohorts before football and basketball games this year, ask yourself a simple question: Why are they cheering a pro football team in Missouri while at a college game in Kansas? If you come up with something other than "everyone else is doing it," then by all means, continue. But when you don't, and the urge is still strong to belt out the other version, just remember. You never had to watch a down of Turner Gill football. The least you can do in return is to slowly phase out this chant.
There is no "Wooo" in the Rock Chalk Chant. Teddy Roosevelt once called it the greatest college chant he had ever heard. When done right, it's nothing short of haunting. Then, sometime in the past, fans started wooing between verses of the song like a bunch of 12-year-old girls at a Justin Bieber concert. Don't act like a bunch of 12-year-old girls at a Justin Bieber concert.
Don't leave at halftime of football games. They have these things now called refrigerators that keep beverages cold, so you can actually attend an entire football game and come back to a cold drink. There's no excuse for following the herd of students out of the stands and back to the tailgate at halftime. Unless the team is down 24 points or something; then all bets are off.
- Wear blue shirts to basketball games, not red. Everyone owns one or twelve blue Kansas shirts, but there's always a handful of people who can't conform and throw on something blue. Conformity can be fun.

-Don't be afraid to call it red and not crimson. Oklahoma is crimson. Kansas is red. You might get dirty looks from University employees or raid fans, but show them a color wheel and you'll win every time.
Kansas State is not suddenly your biggest rival. Kansas never fought Kansas State in a war. Until then, your biggest rival is still Missouri. A fierce rivalry is tough to maintain without playing one another, but the United States and the Soviet Union did it for decades. How hard can it be?

The last time the men's basketball team took the floor in competition as a team, the players watched as streamers fell from the ceiling as Kentucky celebrated its victory in the national championship ga.ne.
Losing the last game of the season is always tough. It can eat away at a team in the long stretch from the end of a regular season until practices resume in October. But because the NCAA allows a team to play exhibition games outside the United States once every four summers, the Jayhawks were able to cut their wait-time short as they packed their bags and headed to Europe for a four-game set against the Swiss national team and the AMW French Pro team. The trip was from Aug. 5 to 14.
"Just playing, wearing the Kansas jersey," senior forward Kevin Young said when asked what he was most looking forward to about the European trip. "Because our last game together ended in a loss, so I think a lot of us returning guys just wanted to get out there and play again."
The Jayhawks team that traveled overseas looks different than the one seen all last year. Gone is All-American Thomas Robinson. Gone is the unpredictable but nonetheless electric Tyshawn Taylor.
But the new crop of freshmen got an early jump on meshing with the team and learning coach Bill Self's system.
"We got 10 practices before we left," senior center Jeff Withey said. "So it's good for them to get that early start, just because everything is new to them, and the
more time they have to work on the offense is going to help them. Those games over there, they can see how the competition is a lot different from high school."
The change in travel plans also forced the team to switch around some of their tourist activities and shorten their pregame preparations. But the lajahawks still managed to win both of their games against the Swiss national team.
After experiencing some travel mishaps, the jayhawks arrived in Switzerland a day late. "It was really frustrating just because we were so excited to be going to Europe, and then to lose a day of time over there, it just sucked," Withey said. "But it happens. We made fun of the freshmen, saying
to them it was their fault because they were new. But you couldn't do anything about it."
"When we were in Zurich, we would go sightseein in the morning and then have to go right from sightseeing to go and play." With-
ey said. "Sometimes wed be late, so wed only have 10, 15 minutes to get ready. When we're actually playing real games over here, we start preparing two hours in advance: we're at the gym, getting shots up and stuff. When we were over there, we were thrown into the fire."
In Paris, the team saw the sights that draw tourists from around the world to the city.
"We were only on the second level of the Eifel Tower, and we
were already over most of the buildings, and there's an elevator that takes you even higher, so it was kind of crazy." Young said.
The Jayhawks lost both games against AMW, but in the second game and the final of the trip, Kansas had the lead at halftime despite the fact that Self sat seniors Withey, Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford, and gave the freshmen extended playing time.
("The freshmen) are not used to a 40-minute game yet," Withey said. "In the college game, you're always playing hard, you can't take plays off, so by the fourth quarter I feel like they got really tired, and that's when the other team made their run."
The freshmen weren't the only ones who received more minutes: Sophomore guard Nadir Tharpe showed how much he improved from his freshman season, dishing nine assists in the Jayhawks' first game against AMW. Despite Tharpe's effort, Kansas lost 74-23.
"I think he is just a lot more confident," Withey said. "His ball handling is just a lot better than last year, and just having a year underneath your belt, you get a lot better automatically."

Coming off an unfortunate overtime loss against Northwestern, the women's soccer team prepares to host the Kansas Invitational this weekend. They refuse to let the loss stop them as they want to push forward and gain two more wins.
"I think everyone was disappointed after the game Sunday because I think we did enough to win, but our mentality is fine. We're working hard, we're trying to regroup and win," head coach Mark Francis said.
Senior forward Whitney Berry attempts to recover the ball during a game against Northwestern University.
Kansas had no problem creating opportunities against Northwestern but was only able to capitalize on one opportunity through freshman forward Ashley Williams' early second-half goal. Their defensive unit — something the team has been focusing on improving — will be tested this weekend, as senior defender Cassie Dickerson not be returning to the field because of an injury. Though her absence will be noticed, Kansas does not plan to let it hinder their progress.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
"Mentally, we view this as any other game," senior forward Whitney Berry said. "We plan to win and keep it on the field. We have just to play our game."
Georgia Bulldogs squad Friday night at the Jayhawk Complex. The Bulldogs managed to knock Kansas out of the first round of the NCAA tournament last year with a 2-0 victory. Kansas will see a similar team take the field as Georgia returns 23 players, including nine starters and four seniors. The team will be watching out for junior midfielder Alexa Newfield, who is returning after she led her team in both assists and goals last season. Georgia has started off undefeated in the season with a record of 2-0.
"Obviously Georgia is a good team. They ended our season last year, so I think for us it's a great opportunity to play them again and give them another run. I think they'll give us a good test," Francis said.
The team faces a very physical
Kansas also brings weapons of their own to the pitch, despite having to do some reshuffling on the defensive line. Senior forward Whitney Berry made sure onlookers noticed her, scoring a hat trick in the exhibition game against Eastern Illinois. Junior forward Caroline Kastor and Williams have also made impressive starts to the season.
"We know we can handle [Georgia]. We know how they play, and we just gotta execute our game plan," junior defender
Shannon Renner said.
Kansas will also face the Rebels from UNLV in the Invitational on Sunday. The Rebels also recently played in a close match, almost coming back after trailing three goals but ultimately falling short to Hawaii, 5-4. The Rebels have a more
mexexperienced team than Kansas, only returning two seniors compared to Kansas' seven. The Rebels share Kansas' 1-1 start to the season, but Kansas hopes to use home field advantage, experience and chemistry of their returners to lead them to a victory.
"We want to defend our home turf and get two wins," Renner said.
Kansas will take on Georgia Friday, Aug. 24 at 5 p.m. before facing UNLV on Sunday at 1 p.m.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Bronson Arroyo allowed three, hits, and Jay Bruce homed to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.
Arroyo (10-7), who gave up both runs, retired the first 14 batters before Domonic Brown's two-out homer in the fifth. Brown doubled off the wall in right-center with one out in the eighth and pinch-hitter Kevin Fransden reached on an infield single leading off the ninth for the other hits off Arroyo.
Arroyo was 0-6 with a 9.46 ERA in his last seven regular-season starts against the Phillies. But Arroyo has been hot lately, improving to 6-1 with a 3.50 ERA in his last seven starts.
Aroldis Chapman relieved Arroyo after Fransden's hit.
erandenden went to second on Chapman's wild pitch and scored on pinch-hitter Ty Wigginton's one-out single to right. Chapman then got Chase Utlley to fly out and Ryan Howard to line out sharply to left for his 31st save in 35 chances.
Run-scoring singles by Drew Stubbs and Ryan Ludwick in the fifth inning off Philadelphia starter Vance Worley staked Cincinnati to a 2-0 lead.
Worley (6-9) allowed two runs and eight hits in six innings. It was Worley's third straight loss but the longest outing in four starts for the righty, who has one win in his last seven starts.
Brown launched Arroyo's first pitch deep into the seats in right field for his first homer of the season.
Bruce gave the Reds a 3-1 lead with a homer off right-handed reliever Josh Lindblom.
Brown lost Bruce's pop fly in the fourth inning, leading to a triple. But the right fielder made two strong defensive plays, a full-out sprinting dive to his right to rob Arroyo of extra bases in the second and an excellent throw to nail Bruce at the plate trying to score on Todd Frazier's medium fly ball in the fourth.
Philadelphia got two runners on base in the eighth when Pacido Polanco followed Brown's double by reaching on third baseman Scott Rolen's fielding error. But the Reds ended the inning with a sensational double play on Brian Schneider's grounder up the middle. Shortstop Zack Cozart ranged behind the bag at second, fielded with his glove and flipped to Brandon Phillips. Phillips jumped and caught the ball, then spun in one motion for a one-hop throw to first that was cleanly picked by Frazier.

Takeaways are key
FOOTBALL
24
Coming off of last year's 2-10 record, the football team is looking to improve in many areas this season. Defensive coordinator Dave Campo has emphasized the importance of takeaways to his players in practice everyday.

Junior safety Bradley McDougald tackles his opponent, quarterback Riley Dodge from McNeese State, at Memorial Stadium.
"If you can break serve a few times, that's one of the ways to do it and give your offense an extra opportunity and take one away from them," Campo said. "That's a big advantage. We've been working hard at it. That is something we have been working on everyday."
Kansas came away with only 18 turnovers all last season, eight of them coming off interceptions. This led to a minus five turnover margin in the conference last year, finishing seventh in the Big 12.
"That is something that's extremely important," Campo said. "It's probably the most important stat, as far as winning and losing." "The team that wins the turnover battle has a pretty good chance of winning the game."
Sophomore linebacker Ben Heeney and the linebacking corps went into summer camp looking to improve in takeaways to be better prepared for the season. The linebackers did not come up with any turnovers during practices in the spring. The group made headway in the summer by coming up with 10 turnovers in practice.
The layhawks offense has a new look going into the season opener and the defense knows that their teammates on the other side of the ball can score a lot of points if they own possession. By winning the time of possession, Campo has stressed out to his team that they must capitalize on coming away with the football.
where they are expected to in the conference this season.
"With a new defensive coordinator, he comes in with the mindset of getting turnovers because that's ultimately what wins games," McDougald said. "Coach Campo and coach Bowen have done a great job of implementing turnovers, getting interceptions, getting the ball on the ground, picking it up and getting it to the end zone."
"Turnovers is where the games are won, basically;" Heeney said. "If you don't have any turnovers, it's hard to flip the field. That is something we've really stressed this summer during camp. Going from zero in the spring and 10 in the summer is a big improvement."

McDougald and his teammates are being kept busy by their coaches working on turnovers before the season opener.
With Campo's NFL experience, the Jayhawks look to flourish in takeaways. Campo knows that in a conference like the Big 12, turnovers are very valuable and can help Kansas finish better than
Senior safety Bradley McDougald, who co-lead the team with two interceptions, said the biggest difference from this year to last year is the focus on the small details, one of them being takeaways.
The la/hawks can rely on senior defensive end and captain Toben Opurum to provide a strong pass rush to help the defensive backs come up with some interceptions.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When Moss signed with the 49ers, he will become the third receiver in NFL history to play at least one season as a 49er and have 150 career receiving TDs. Name the other two?
A: Terrell Owens (153) and Jerry Rice (197)
Source: NFL.com
THE MORNING BREW NFL veterans look to elevate new teams
Terrell Owens and Randy Moss are two of the most prolific wide receivers in NFL history. Like them or not, they're back, and both are looking to make their mark on their new teams.
Owens came into the league in 1996 and has played for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, and now he looks to make an impact with his new team, the Seattle Seahawks.
One of the most memorable Owens moments is when he was playing for the 49ers. After catching a touchdown pass, Owens proceeded to pull a sharpie out of his sock and sign the football, which was then handed to a fan. Ten years later Owens is back, and he's playing for the team he did that against: the Seahawks.
The Seahawks signed the 38-year-old Owens to a one-year deal earlier this month with high expectations. The Seahawks and
Coach Pete Carol hope Owens will be able to contribute while also being able to mentor their young receiving core. Owens has had his ups and downs throughout his career.
Randy Moss is one of the best wide receivers the NFL has ever seen, and arguably the best deep threat to every play. Moss came into the league in 1998 and has played for the Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee Titans, Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots, and now he looks to contribute to a loaded San Francisco 49ers roster in 2012. Moss is a seven-time pro bowler, holds the NFL single-season touchdown reception record for a rookie with 17 (set in 1998 with the Vikings), and also holds the overall NFL single-season touchdown record with 23 (set in 2007 with the Patriots). But similar to Owens, he's had his share of problems.
By Drew Harms
dharms@kansan.com
One of Moss' on-field flaws is the lack of effort he sometimes
shows. Moss has been known for jogging, not running precise routes and not always putting much effort into blocking. He has also tested positive for marijuana two times in the early 2000s.
In 2010 Moss was shuffled around for a majority of the season. He played for three different NFL teams that year, the Titans, Vikings and Patriots. Two years later, on March 12, 2012, the 49ers signed Moss.
The 49ers are coming off a great season in 2011 where they went 14-4, including the post-season. The 49ers already have one
of the best defenses in the league and have a plethora of weapons on offense. Along with Frank Gore, Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, the 49ers also picked up running back LaMichael James from
KU
the University of Oregon in the 2012 NFL draft. The 49ers also
picked up a big physical running back in Brandon Jacobs from free-agency this off-season. There are plenty of weapons on the 49ers this year, and I believe Moss will put forth a decent effort, because in the past he's played hard for the good teams he's been on. The opposing teams will not know what defenses to run if Moss can make plays downfield because of the power that running backs Frank Gore and Brandon Jacobs will provide in the running game.
I believe Owens feels like he has something to prove and doesn't want to be remembered as a diva.
Owens arrived to the Seahawks camp in excellent shape and ran precise routs. Moss is back and on a great team in the 49ers. Although the 49ers have numerous options on offense I believe Moss will still be able to make an impact with his big-play potential and be a threat to defenses in the red zone. I believe both Owens and Moss willshow their worth with their new teams, and when comparing the two, I look for Owens to have more receptions and yards, and for Moss to have more touchdown receptions.

Royals lose both the game and the series to Tampa Bay
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — James Shields took a three-hitter into the eight inning, leading Tampa Bay over the Kansas City Royals 5-3 Wednesday for the Rays' 16th win in 21 games.
Shields (12-7) retired 12 in a row after Alcides Escobar's two-out single in the third and allowed three runs and five hits in 7 2-3 innings. The right-hander struck out seven and walked one, improving to 4-0 with a 2.15 ERA in his last five starts.
Escobar ended Shields' day
with a two-out RBI triple in the eighth that pulled Kansas City to 4-2. Jake McGee allowed a run-scoring single to Alex Gordon, and Kyle Farnsworth retired Billy Butler on a grounder.
Jose Labaton homered off Aaron Crow leading off the bottom half, and Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 39th save in 41 chances.
Tampa Bay won two of three in the series, limiting the Royals to just five runs. Tampa Bay leads the AL with a 3.27 ERA.
Kansas City manager Ned Yost was ejected in the eighth by plate
umpire Scott Barry for arguing after Eric Hosmer took a called third strike.
Luis Mendoza (7-9) gave up two runs, five hits and four walks in 4 1-3 innings.
Jeff Francoeur's RBI single put Kansas City ahead in the second, but the Bays took a 2-1 lead in the third on Ben Zobrist's sacrifice fly and Jeff Keppinger's RBI single. Ryan Roberts doubled in a run in the sixth, and the Raws made 4-1 in the seventh on an error at second by Escobar, who couldn't handle Francoeur's throw from right on Zobrist's double.

ASHLEIGH LEE /KANSAN
The Kansas volleyball team starts its season this Friday at the Arkansas Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., the first of four tournaments the team will compete in this season.
The Jawhaws begin the tournament Friday at 4:30 p.m. against Northwestern State. The tournament continues on Saturday with two games, the first against Tennessee-Martin at 1:30 p.m., followed by the second and final tournament game against Arkansas at 7:00 p.m..
"Typically for me, I think you see more progress from the beginning of this tournament to the end than any other weekend you'll play in," coach Ray Bechard said. "You take care of your side of the net, and as you get into the tournament a little deeper, by the time you play Saturday, then you can begin to feel a little bit more comfortable with what's going on your side of the net, and you can begin to develop a little bit of a game plan for your opponent."
This is the first time the Jayhawks will play Northwestern State or Tennessee-Martin under coach Ray Bechard. Bechard is entering his 15th season with the program.
Junior setter Kara Wehsr said the Jayhawks aren't concerned about being unfamiliar with their opponents; rather, they are focused on their own execution.
"We've only played Arkansas, so not being able to scout the other two teams, I don't think it really matters that much in the fact that we need to concentrate on what's on our side and work on what Kansas has to offer," Kara said.
The Northwestern State Lady
Demons finished the 2011 season
10-20, but return every starter.
The Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks went 19-14 last season and return with three starters. The Arkansas Razorbacks ended the 2011 season with a 18-13 record, and are predicted to finish third in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference. They return five starters, including senior outside hitter Jasmine Norton, who earned first team All-SEC honors last year.
The Jayhawks return five starters; sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers, senior defensive specialist Morgan Boub, junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree and Kara Wehrs. Junior libero Brianne Riley also returns.
Junior outside hitter and defensive specialist Amy Wehrs said the lajahwaks cohesiveness gives them confidence, even though they open the season against two unfamiliar opponents.
"I feel like we have so much depth and experience on this team, and we have a lot of returners that if they give us some type of adversity or anything like that we'll be able to adjust to that and just play KU volleyball." Amy said.
Beachard said opening the season with three straight matches is beneficial for his team because they will be able to make quick adjustments during the tournament, instead of having to wait a few days for one match.
This will be the layhawks' first official match of the season, but they did play the Crimson and Blue match last Saturday in front of fans. The Crimson and Blue match is when the roster is split into two opposing teams for a scrimmage. Returning junior libero Brianne Riley said that
Crimson and Blue match was good because they were able to release some energy from preseason practices but also get settled into the season.
Every year, Kansas plays in tournaments during the non-
conference season, so fatigue shouldn't be a factor during Saturday's games. Amy said they are excited to begin the season with tournaments because it lets them measure the progress they made during preseason practices.
"I'm glad we're playing three matches," Amy said. "We've had so many days of two-a-days and practice that we're just ready to get out there and show everyone what we got and start the season off right."

TOP NEWCOMERS:
In 2012 Baylor welcomes three four-star recruits, all from Texas; wide receiver Corey Coleman, defensive end Javonte Magee and linebacker Brian Nance. Magee comes in as the number seven defensive end in the nation, with a chance to make an impact on the Bear's defense early in the year, according to Rivals.com. Baylor did the majority of its
recruiting in-state with only two of 28 freshman coming from outside of Texas.
OVERVIEW:
the bears are riding high on last season's success and exposure. Sighting Baylor's comeback against Kansas as the launching point for his campaign, quarterback Robert Griffin III won the 2012 Heisman Trophy and was selected second overall in the NFL draft. But Griffin wasn't the only Bear to move on to the next level. Baylor had five players from 2011 taken in draft, and the team will look to rebuild without slowing down the progress made last season.
STORY TO WATCH:
With the losses of their starting quarterback, running back and number one receiver, the Bears will have many spots to fill on offense. Senior quarterback Nick Florence only made 12 pass attempts last season, and
running back Jarred Salubi averaged just 5.7 yards on his 18 attempts. How will head coach Art Briles continue the success of the high-powered offense — which ranked fourth in the nation both in passing yards and points scored — without the men that got him there? And how smoothly will the transition be?
THEY SAID IT:
"How do you adjust not having the best player of football in the United States of America last year at the collegiate level? That's inspiration, okay? That's the thing that inspires us. That's the thing that makes our guys come together and fight for each other and work to prove themselves, because we're in the proving business."

Milone ends streak with a one-run gem
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. — Liam Hendriks was left to wait for his first major victory yet again.
He had had 13 tries spanning two seasons as a starter.
A day after being recalled from Triple-A Rochester, for his third big league stint of the year with Minnesota, the 23-year-old Aussie struggled along with the Twins offense in a 5-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.
It was another stumble on this tough road trip.
"I felt like Cal Ripken over there with so many batting
"It was just a bad day for us," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It's too bad we lost the series."
stances." Crisp said.
Coco Crisp homered, hit an RBI double, and scored three runs for the As, tinkering a bit with his batting stance.
Yoenis Cespedes hit a go-ahead two-run single in the third inning that held up for Tommy Milone, and Crisp also singled and stole his 28th base to give the As a much-needed boost only a couple of hours after right-hander Bartolo Colon received a 50-game suspension for a positive testosterone test. The ban came one day before he had been scheduled to start the opener of a series at Tampa Bay.
Milone (10-9) allowed one run and two hits, struck out five and walked one in eight impressive innings to end a five-start winless stretch in which he had gone 0-3 since his last victory, a 9-3 decision at Minnesota on July 14. He lowered his ERA to 3.87 from 4.03 and became Oakland's second 10-game winner after Colon, the 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner while with
the Angels.
The As won despite four errors behind Milone.
“Typically, you don't win games making four errors," manager Bob Melvin said. "The reason we did come back is Milone."
Josh Reddick added an RBI single for the As (67-56), who moved a season-high 11 games over 500 — their best since finishing the 2006 season at 93-69. That's the last year Oakland reached the playoffs, getting swept in four games of the AL championship series by the Detroit Tigers.
Oakland began the day a half-game out in the AL wild-card race.
"When Coco plays well, we win." Melvin said.

GOLF
New coach is a proven winner
In his previous stops at Drake, Iowa State and Colorado State, he won two Mountain West Conference titles, one Missouri Valley Conference title and qualified for 15 NCAA tournaments, including two trips to the NCAA finals.
Bermel's Colorado State teams won 18 tournament and finished in the top five more than 35 times. He coached Masters winner Zach Johnson while at Drake and PGA Tour pro Martin Laird while at Fort Collins.
Jamie Bermel, the newly hired men's golf coach, knows what it takes to be a champion at the NCAA level.
Bermel is looking to change the golf culture in his first season in Lawrence. By focusing on toughness; the Jayhawks' new staff is attempting to make adjustments with the current players and future recruits.
TREVOR GRAFF
teraff@kansan.com
A focus on toughness paired Bermel with Johnson at Drake in 1994.
"We were the only Division 1 school to recruit him," Bermel said. "He came to Drake and immediately showed he was an overachiever, a huge competitor, but a little undersized."
Bermel said Johnson was an average prospect coming out of high school, but his toughness and overachieving nature led to his development and eventually his professional career. This is the kind of toughness that Bermel wants to instill in his new team.
At the time, Johnson was second on most of the area's recruiting lists.

you think, 'All right, all these guys look about the same,' Bermel said. "As a coach, you have to ask, 'Who has that extra heart beat? Who can excel under the most extreme conditions?' Because I take kids that probably don't have the best swing or best record. To me it's about who has the most upside."
"I think these kids need to feel like somebody believes in them," Bermel said. "I've told them from day one, I'm all in. I believe in all of you guys. You didn't pick me, and I didn't pick you, we have to get better here." In everything I've asked of them so far they've been great."
One of the toughest tasks for any incoming collegiate head coach is to get the returning players to buy into a new system. With two weeks under their belt, the team is starting to work through the process.
At this point, the focus is shifting from forming a strong coaching relationship to getting better in every aspect on and off the course.
The program as a whole should receive a boost in recruiting as Bermel takes over. When looking for recruits, the staff's focus lies in three major points. Good recruits hit the ball hard, are mentally tough and show great upside.
"I can't teach speed in a golf swing." Bermel said. "You get what you get, but if you can hit it hard, I can teach you to chip, putt and manage the game. We want guys that are tough as nails. You can't come in here soft, thinking you have all the answers and thinking that it isn't hard work."
The staff's recruiting plan emphasizes in-state recruiting as well as international recruiting, where Bermel has found some success in the past.
Bermel and assistant coach Zach Zaremba have one goal in mind for their program's progression.
"We want to win a championship," Bermel said. "We're going to start with the Big 12. We need everybody, and at the end of the day every practice we have to get better."

By Dylan Derryberry
dderryberry@kansan.com
Early on in my collegiate career, amidst numerous required classes that had nothing to do with my major, I learned something much more important than the Quadratic Equation: I learned how to have fun. I'm Dylan Derryberry, an aspiring journalist, thrift store shopper and uncoordinated (yet highly entertaining) dancer. My goal: to get everyone to have some fun.
Whether you're new to the University or wrapping up your super-senior year, there's always something new to check out around
town, and through this column I hope to offer some options. If you don't like my suggestions, well, that's OK because there are a dozen other options Lawrence has to offer.
For this weekend, head to Massachusetts Street and check out the Lawrence Busker Festival. The fifth annual downtown event features dozens of oddball street performers doing anything from eating fire to comedic juggling all weekend long. It's free, it's open to all ages and it's totally weird — the good kind of weird, like a Tim Burton movie with natural lighting.
For more info, check out http://lawrencebuskerfest.com.
Check back here every Thursday to see what's going on around town, and remember: Class may be for education, but college is for experience.

Busker set to start Friday
Five years ago, Richard Renner, a graduate of the University of Kansas theater department, founded the Lawrence Busker Festival with the intent of opening up the streets of downtown to performers of all kinds, from all over.
The festival, a free event that highlights the talents of street performers, or "buskers," will be held along Massachusetts Street this weekend, Aug. 24 to 26. The buskers — performers who entertain in public places for gratuity — will line the streets, attracting crowds with their unusual acts.
"You can walk within the space of two blocks and see four shows all for free, and however much you want to put in the hat is entirely up to you," Renner said. "This is the purest form of business. These people know they are only going to get paid what they're worth."
Renner said about 15,000 people go to the festival each year to see the musicians, sword swallows, fire breathers, jugglers, aerial acrobats, mimes and dancers who come to entertain.
When the festival was introduced in 2008, Renner called various performers, asking them to be a part of the event. He was able to schedule 20 acts on three stages. This year, Renner received about 60 applications from entertainers throughout the U.S. and overseas. He cut that number down to 25 acts on four stages.
In addition to the scheduled acts, Renner said some street performers just show up and choose a spot to set up and perform.
"Those are the unscheduled entertainers, and I have no idea who they are or where they will be," he said. "Anybody could show up and play, and many do."
In 2008, one of the unscheduled acts was Sarah Glass, a University graduate. Glass, who now performs under the name Miss Conception, went to the first festival in 2008 to hulahoop on the street. As she performed her solo act, Glass was inspired by the other busker acts all around her.
"I wanted to do more and work harder with more people. Instead of just me out hula-hoping in the street, I wanted it to be more choreography, more magical things happening." Glass said.
Glass evolved her hula-hooping into a larger performance. She, as Miss Conception, along with the KC Tribe of Vibe, mix hip-hop with dance, poetry, singing, dancing and juggling. The act will be the finale on Saturday at 10:15 p.m. on the Plaza Stage at the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts Street. This will be Glass' first year performing on
"I'm super excited. I love the idea of artists being out on the street doing what they love and ideally making somewhat of a living off of it," she said. "I like what it means to busk: It's interaction, not just a passive show, and that's one thing that I really strive to bring. As a whole we want to break that line between audience and performer and empower everybody." Glass said. Renner said that the festival has been successful, and he hopes to further promote an atmosphere for more out-of-town performers to stop in Lawrence.
"If word gets out that Lawrence is OK with street performers, we'll get more people just stopping by," Renner said. "It will add to the unique culture we have downtown."
Renner said the festival is targeted toward a family crowd

"These are all major projects that we have been working on since day one," said Senate Outreach Director Alek Joyce. "They each present their own obstacles, but thanks to collaboration across KU's campus, with a number of administrative offices, we are advancing toward completing our platform goals."
Some platforms include creating a student resources website so students can find useful information in one location, stabilizing grading within departments, renovating Wescoe Beach and adding a Spanish minor for students. One proposal, Responsible Refreshments, has already received attention, from several local bars that have agreed to provide non-alcoholic beverages to designated drivers.
A tew construction projects are also being discussed, including building cell phone charging kiosks on campus so students can recharge their phones between classes. Student Senate is collaborating with KU InformationTechnology to find a practical way to implement the idea, and right now they are coming up with visuals for what the kiosks will look like. Other projects are more long term and may take more than a year before they can be carried out.

FROM BRAZIL TO KANSAS
Senior Sarah Stern celebrated the launch of her book "Favela da Rochinha, Brazil" Saturday. The book feature photograhs and an essay about her experience in Rio de Janeiro.

Sarah Stern takes a few moments to walk around the room, greet guests, answer questions and point out her favorite of the photographs lying on one of the tables. Then, she returns to the chair next to Gary Mark Smith and continues selling and signing books.
Stern, a senior from Lawrence celebrated the debut of "Favela da Rocinha, Brazil," a book of photographs and essays that illustrate everyday life in Rio
de Janeiro's largest favela, or slum, with a launch party at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire Street, on Saturday. Stern and Smith, a street photographer and University alumnus, co-authored the book, which was put together after the duo's June 2011 trip to Rocinha.
"I wanted to show everyday Rocinha: what it was like if you went there and weren't in a tourist group and lived day-to-day," Stern said. "It's such a bizarre and unique place."
Stern and Smith travelled to Rocinha when it was under
gang control, before pacification efforts later that year by the Brazilian government to gain authority as the country emerges with cultural significance before the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics.
Stern and Smith lived with residents of the favela and taught a few photography classes during their three-week stay. Proceeds from the book will go toward funding art classes for youth in the favela that Smith or Stern will go back to Brazil to teach.
"Everyone was so welcoming and loving," Stern said. "We
weren't there to profit off of it; we just wanted the experience. Our way of giving back to them for their hospitality is the book."
Sixty of the book's 130 photographs are Stern's. She also wrote an essay about her experience that is included in the work. "Favela de Rocinha, Brazil" can be purchased at rocinhathebook.com, around the Lawrence community and in Rio de Janeiro.
"He (Smith) took the book back to Ricinha and they loved it," Stern said. "That means we did our jobs. It's a really cool feeling to hold it in your hands
and say, this was my experience."
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, director of the University's honors program, attended the book launch on Saturday. McCluskey-Fawcett is Stern's advisor, and she nominated Stern for 'Glamour' list of the top 10 college women of 2012, for which Stern appeared in the magazine.
"She's fabulous," McCluskey Fawcett said. "It's pretty amazing to be going into your senior year as a published author."
Stern is unsure of her plans after graduation.. However, she
does know that another trip to Brazil is in her future.
"I need to find out how I can make it back to Brazil," she said. "It's chaos. I got out of the taxi and I had to take a few moments to soak it all in. There was music blasting, kids running around, there were vendors, cars and motos weaving in and out of every corner. It's a beautiful chaos and it all comes together to create this unique place."

After KUInited swept elections last spring, Student Body President Hannah Bolton and Vice President Brandon Woodard worked over the summer to bring the platforms they ran on to fruition. Their hope is that students can already see the effects of their work and will continue to see progress as the year continues.
"These are all major projects that we have been working on since day one," said Senate Outreach Director Alek Joyce. "They each present their own obstacles, but thanks to collaboration across KU's campus, with a number of administrative offices, we are advancing toward completing our platform goals."
PETER SMITH
Bolton
Some platforms include creating a student resources website so students can find useful information in one location, stabilizing grading within departments, renovating Wescoe Beach and adding a Spanish minor for students. One proposal, Responsible Refreshments, has already received attention, from several local bars that have agreed to provide non-alcoholic beverages to designated drivers.
Woodard
"There has been a lot of support from the Lawrence community," Joyce said. "For every single one of these platforms, we have made some headway."
A few construction projects are also being discussed, including building cell phone charging kiosks on campus so students can recharge their phones between classes. Student Senate is collaborating with KU Information technology to find a practical way to implement the idea, and right now they are coming up with visuals for what the kiosks will look like. Other projects are more long term and may take more than a year before they can be carried out.
For example, Bolton and Woodard have plans to create Student Entrepreneurship Centers, which according to the Boltan-Woodard administration will

A court order — or an agreement produced under the threat of a potential order — would spell out in writing what violations occurred and how they could be avoided.
Shawne County District Attorney Chad Taylor concluded last week that legislators violated the law during seven private dinners with Brownback in January at Cedar Brownt, the governor's residence. He scolded lawmakers publicly and admonished them to become better informed about the law's requirements. But Taylor is not pursuing further action, saying he could prove only "technical" violations.

Brownback verdict sparks criticism
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — A Kansas prosecutor's investigation into private dinners Gov. Sam Brownback hosted for legislators demonstrates that a public shaming often is the only consequence faced by officials who violate the state's open meetings law.
The Kansas Open Meetings Act's enforcement depends upon prosecutors having an appetite for going to court or individuals and groups who have the money to pursue their own lawsuits. Also, an individual — like Brownback — can schedule gatherings but then face no legal repercussions over violations that occur at them.
The Open Meetings Act generally prohibits a majority of a legislative body from meeting without giving the public notice and access to the event. A gathering of a committee's majority is a meeting if public business is discussed and lawmakers interact.
More than 90 lawnmakers attended the dinners, almost all Republicans. Brownback's office still doesn't concede that the Cedar Crest events were meetings, and many legislators view them as purely social gatherings.
"When Taylor backs down and takes a powder on the thing, they think it's perfectly OK what they did," said Mike Merriam, an attorney for The Topeka Capital Journal and the Kansas Press Association, who filed the formal complaint that led to Taylor's investigation.
Officials who knowingly violate the law can be fined up to $500 per incident.

Patent ruling follows trend
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Jurors ruled in favor of Apple Inc. Friday, awarding $1.05 billion to the company after a patent trial declaring Samsung Electronics Co. copied Apple's patented technology for the iPhone and iPad.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers reported that 182 lawsuits were filed between 2006 and 2010 involving patents in "computer hardware/electronics, software and telecommunications." That was an increase from 77 filed during the previous five years.
The case is part of a trend that has accompanied an explosion in the number of patent infringement cases, especially in the technology sector.
That has companies on the receiving end of successful patient infringement lawsuits calling for reform in the patent system.
Increasingly, these highly complex disputes are being decided by juries, rather than judges, and the juries tend to issue more generous awards for patent violations.
"This case is unmanageable for a jury," Robin Feldman, an intellectual property professor at the University of California Hastings Law School, said before the verdict. "There are more than 100 pages of jury instructions. I don't give that much reading to my law students. They can't possible digest it."
but it also has some legal experts questioning whether ordinary citizens should be rendering verdicts and fixing damages in such high-stake cases.
Steven Zipperstein, the chief legal officer of Research in Motion Ltd., argued that patient lawsuits like Samsung's and Apple's often result in new problems.
"The purpose of the patent system is to encourage innovation, but the system is still too often exploited in pursuit of other goals," he said in a statement earlier this month. "This case clearly highlights the significant need for continuing policy reform to help reduce the amount of resources wasted on unwarranted patent litigation."
Chris Elles, assistant professor of chemistry, has been awarded a research and education grant from the National Science Foundation, according to a KU press release.
Chemistry instructor to receive $650,000 grant
Worth $650,000 over five years, the grant funds Elles's research on photochemical reactions while including undergraduates in the UKanTeach program. This will allow future high school teachers to include research concepts into their curriculum.
Elles also said in the release that the grant will fund a project meant to observe molecular behavior, which could be applied to the next generation of DVD technology.

New student center will house basketball rules
Plans are underway for a new student center to be built near Allen Fieldhouse. The building will include an exhibit displaying James Naismith's original rules of basketball, recently donated to the University by investor Dr. Booth.
"Housing this document on our campus gives the KU community tangible evidence of our rich basketball history," said Sarah Morris, President of the Student Endowment Board.
David Mucci, director of the KU Memorial Unions, said the building plans are still in the early stages. An architect has yet to be determined, as well as the full functions of the building. The project will be paid for by KU Endowment and private donors.

Female opposition leader Isabelle Ameganvie calls on Togo's women to observe a one-week sex strike beginning Monday, in Lome, Togo. The female wing of a civil rights group is urging women in Togo to stage a week-long sex strike to demand the resignation of the country's president.

A
Togo female leader stages sex strike
LOME, Togo — The female wing of a civil rights group is urging women in Togo to stage a week-long sex strike to demand the resignation of the country's president.
Women are being asked to start withholding sex from their husbands or partners as of Monday, said Isabelle Ameganvi, leader of the women's wing of the group Let's Save Togo. She said the strike will put pressure on Tongo's men to take action against President Faure Gnassingbe.
Ameganvi, a lawyer, told The Associated Press that her group is following the example of Liberia's women, who used a sex strike in 2003 to campaign for peace.
The sex strike was announced at a rally Saturday of several thousand in Lome. The demonstration was organized by a coalition that is protesting recent electoral reforms which they say will make it easier for Gnassingbe to win reelection in the polls set for October.
"We have many means to oblige men to understand what women want in Togo," Ameganvi said.
Gnassingbe came to power in 2005, following the death of his father, Gnassingbe Eyadema, who ruled the West African country for 38 years. Gnassingbe has not commented on the sex strike, nor has his wife. Earlier this month, two anti-Gnassingbe protests were dispersed by police using tear gas and more than 100 people were arrested.
At Saturday's rally, which ended peacefully, Jean-Pierre
Others were skeptical of Isabelle Ameganvi's call.
"It is easy for her to say because she is not married herself. She does not live with a man at home," said Ekoue Blame, a Togosole journalist.
"Does she think women who live with their husband will be able to observe that? By the way, who controls what couples do behind closed doors?"
When asked if her husband would agree, Tamekloe said: "It is easy for me to observe it. I am used to it, but I am not sure my husband will accept, but I have to explain to him."
Fabre, leader of the National Alliance for Change opposition party, called for Gnassingbe's resignation. Other opposition leaders called for civil disobedience.
But it is the sex strike that has people talking in this small country of 7 million people.
"It's a good thing for us women to observe this sex strike as long as our children are in jail now. I believe that by observing this, we will get them released," Abla Tamekloe said. "For me, it's like fasting, and unless you fast, you will not get what you want from God."

Afghan militants raid anti-Taliban post
KHAR, Pakistan — Dozens of militants from Afghanistan attacked an anti-Taliban militia post in northwest Pakistan for the third day Sunday, sparking fighting that killed one soldier and 20 militants, a Pakistani official said.
In addition to the dead, four soldiers and four militiamen were wounded in Sunday's attack in the Pajur tribal area, said Jahangir Azam Wazir, a local government administrator.
Pakistan has criticized Afghan and U.S.-led coalition forces for not doing enough to stop the rising number of cross-border attacks by Pakistan Taliban militants holed up in the Afghan provinces of Kunar and Nuristan, across the border from Bajur.
That criticism could soften after the coalition killed a senior Pakistan Taliban commander in an airstrike in Kunar on Friday.
Mullah Daduillah, was the leader of the Pakistani Taliban in Bajur. He was killed along with 11 others, including his deputy.
Four soldiers, six militiamen and 38 militants died during the cross-border attacks in the Salarzai area of bajr on Friday and Saturday, Wazir said.
The airstrike that killed Dadullah followed the cross-border attack on Friday, but the NATO coalition said there was no coordination with Pakistan during the attack.
The U.S. and Afghan governments have long criticized Pakistan for failing to prevent militants using sanctuaries inside the country from attacking targets inside Afghanistan. The main focus has been on Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal area, the main militant sanctuary in the country and home to the Haqqani network, considered one of the most dangerous insurgent
groups fighting in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan's intelligence agency said Sunday that its operatives have confirmed that the son of the founder of the Haqqani network was killed in Pakistan, even as the Taliban vowed that he was alive and in Afghanistan.
Shafiquallh Tahiri, the spokesman for Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security, said Badruddin Haqqani was killed in an airstrike in Pakistan last week. He did not provide further details, and he would not say on what information the agency's operatives were basing their conclusion or whether they had seen the body.
Pakistani military officials have said privately that they plan to increase the pressure against militants in North Waziristan slowly, not conduct a sweeping offensive as they have done in the other parts of the tribal region.

Pakistani officials said Saturday that it is investigating whether the son of the founder of the powerful Haqqi militant network, Badruddin Haqqi, was killed in a U.S. drone strike this week.

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Sometimes you must play a role to some extent. Usually, this does not present a conflict. Today, you really want to date on a family member or loved one, yet where you are and what you are doing will not permit that spontaneity. Tonight. To the wee hours. 3 Stars
Taurus (Apri 20-May 20)
The smartest thing you can do right now is not take any action. A situation might encourage you to actively reach out for a child or loved one. Sometimes it is better to hold off and allow this person to work through the issue on his or her own. Tonight: How about some exotic cuisine? 5 Stars
A partnership naturally brings a lot of benefits with it, if you are willing to receive them. Follow your intuition and zero in on a long-term goal. Ask yourself honestly whether an associate or partner would have made a difference. Listen to your answer. Tonight. Chat about this issue over dinner. 5 Stars
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You have your opinions, yet it seems as though a partner, boss or associate has opinions that appear to be more relevant. Remember, this person's attitude is natural, as he or she is responsible for this particular venture. Later, he or she will express appreciation for your efforts. Tonight. Do not be alone. 5 Stars
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You could have difficulty focusing on what you need to do, especially since present distractions are so enticing. Do not judge yourself for being so whimsical. Vearing off track is not only refreshing for you, but for some of your observers as well. No one is perfect all the time tonight. Take the dog for a walk. 4 Stars

Your creativity meets each situation and conversation you encounter, yet you might not want to share everything that comes to your mind. This ever-present ingenuity adds to the delight you are experiencing. Tonight: Play and games! You choose what. 5 Stars
Be happy without having to add more excitement than need be. Actually, if you can stay close to home, do. You need to mellow out some. A child or romantic interest keeps coming to mind. Curb a tendency to be self-destructive. Tonight: Order in. 4 Stars
Lihra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Speak your mind, although you could be surprised by others' reactions. Someone draws you in, and the serious "I mean business" attitude seems to dissolve. Before you realize it, the two of you are off sharing a special experience. Tonight: Return calls and emails. 5 Stars
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You might not have thought you would let go and enjoy your day as much as you are. You might want to rethink a situation, but there is an element of fun and affection that could weave through your day and distract you. Tonight: Indulge a little. 3 Stars
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Someone clearly is doing everything he or she can to get your attention. You could be tired and wondering what is necessary to complete. Be more spontaneous, and you'll discover that networking reinvigorates the Goat. Tonight: Be available. 4 Stars
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Keep reaching out for novel ideas and different approaches. You often need newness in your life. The more you learn, the more open you become, and the more likely there will be a perpetual kaleidoscope of new information. 3 Stars
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Zeroning in on priorities might be a great idea, but at the same time, you find distractions rather alluring. Schedule a late lunch if you need some time to mix work with your social life. Let your creativity flow. Tonight: Use your imagination.

NEW YORK  —  "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi early Sunday gave birth to her first child, a boy.
MTV reality show star gives birth to baby boy
TELEVISION
The reality TV star and her fiance, Joni LaValle, welcomed 6-pound, 5-ounce Lorenzo Denovo LaValle into the world at just before 3 a.m. Sunday at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J., MTV said.
"We couldn't be happier for Nicole and Jionni on the healthy delivery of their baby," MTV said in a statement. "We look forward to Lorenzo's first trip to the Jersey Shore and can't wait to see his first animal print nosie."
MTV has said it's bringing "Jersey Shore" back for a sixth season, with the 24-year-old Snooki as part of the action, but has declined to offer specifics on how big a part Snooki will play in the show about hard-pairing Italian-American friends.
MTV congratulated Polizi and her fiance and looked toward the newborn's possible appearance on "Jersey Shore."

Lawrence festival entertains students
The festival featured four different stages along downtown Lawrence; an Eighth Street Stage, a Musicians Pitch Stage at 815 Massachusetts Street, a Plaza Stage at the intersection of Ninth and Massachusetts streets and a 10th Street Stage, as well as performances held at The Lawrence Art Center. Each day had scheduled acts in addition to face painters, human statues and balloon artists. Specific times were set up for bigger performances, like sword swallowing and other interactive shows.

"What makes [The Busker Festival] a festival is that there's a lot more performers, but also there's a lot more people; people come downtown specifically to see the street performers," said Busker Festival event organizer Richard Renner in an interview with Kansas Public Radio.
The festival was free, but attendees were asked to tip performers. In addition to the shows, a Busker Ball was held Friday at The Lawrence Art Center, 940 New Hampshire, where Lawrence residents previewed the festival. After the ball, there was an informal meet-and-greet with the performers. Aaron Farish, a magician from Kansas City, said one of the best things about street performing is getting paid to practice.

"I like having the ability to draw in a big crowd, make them laugh and make them stick around to watch the show," Farish said.

Fire-eaters, jugglers, musicians, dancers and magicians were the main features of the fifth annual Lawrence Busker Festival, a three-day event held last weekend in Downtown Lawrence. Massachusetts Street was filled with students, families and Lawrence residents who could experience the excitement of the various performers at designated "stages" throughout the weekend.

["The Pogo Dudes] were pretty sick; it was terrifying to watch, but in a good way," Hawkins said.
The Busker Festival offered workshops for children on Saturday at The Lawrence Art Center from 9:30 a.m. until noon. The cost was $10 per child, and workshops included tips in balloon making, juggling and magic. The event concluded Sunday afternoon after final performances.
"I love seeing live music encouraged by the general public and seeing parents bringing their children out to the shows," Williams said.
besides the entertainment shows, the Busker Festival featured a wide variety of live music, ranging from guitar and vocal performances to human organic music, inspired by nature. Amanda Williams, a 2004 alumna from Topeka, not only attended the Busker Festival, but participated in it as well, saying the live music was one of the most important aspects of the event.
Students and alumni flooded the streets of Downtown Lawrence with friends and significant others to join in the excitement of the festival. Brandon Daley, a senior from Wichita, said he originally came to Massachusetts Street to eat, but decided to stay and watch some of the entertainment.

"Anybody can do it with enough practice," Farish said.

Just like 80 percent of 18-to-24 year olds, I sleep next to my phone. I follow the same morning ritual every day: reach for my iPhone, open my Facebook app and mindlessly scroll down the newsfeed—Cara herocially stands against Chick-fil-A. Brett valiantly makes it to work despite one too many $1 PBRs the night before and Trey proudly posts pictures from his 5K run an hour earlier.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Establishing boundaries in a virtual world
I read these rather mundane posts every day. They offer little color to my life, yet I am still compelled to read them every morning. For some unexplained reason, I am consumed with my virtual world. A world that's mostly surface, rarely substantive and filled with too many people I hardly know.
That awkward moment when you take a ninja shot of Withey and your flash goes off...
I was drinking a juice box and walked past Elijah Johnson. He gave me a weird look. Pretty sure he was jealous.
This past Saturday was different, however. As I scrolled, I saw a post from my aunt that read:
Two girls walking on campus together holding hands is a beautiful site to behold! LGBT rocks!
If she doesn't know what Joe College is, she's too young for you, bro!

A jarring experience to say the least. My uncle was dead. Chick-fil-A, $1 PBRs, 5K, and my uncle Doug is dead. And I learned about it on Facebook.
I know this speaks as much to our social media culture as it does the poor communication of my family. To my Aunt her credit, she had just lost her brother. She was grieving and whether the information trickled down to me understandably was not in the forefront of her mind. She was mourning her brother—her best friend.
My uncle Doug passed away late last week at the age of 43. For some in my family, his death came
as no surprise He struggled. A year ago, he lost his 5-year-old son Austin suddenly to a rare virus. Unable to fully cope with his sons untimely and tragic death, Doug chose destructive means to alleviate his suffering—something that many people choose to do despite that fact that help is often not too far away.

outstretched hands. He tried to fix something that he alone could not fix.
His death did not stem from lack of support from my family. His mother and others tried to help the best they could. The problem was Doug never grabbed ahold of their
His death forced me to pause and reflect. The paradox of our social media world is fairly clear. Despite our amazingly interconnected world, a virtual world is very alienating when one seeks empathy through a computer screen Facebook and Twitter provide a social benefit, but they can never offer the same compassion as an eye-to-eye chat, or the simple touch of a hand.
The college life is fun and exciting, as well as stressful and difficult at times. There is always someone to talk to face-to-face, or over the phone. If you feel like no one is available when you need to talk, the university offers confidential counseling and psychological services at Watkins Memorial Health Center. To make an appointment, call 785-864-CAPS.
In an ever-encoaching digital world, it's important to establish boundaries and to know what belongs in the virtual world and what should be said in the real world. A quick IM should not replace a discussion that should be had over lunch at the Underground.

RELATIONSHIPS
Marriage doesn't mean happiness
RACHEL KEITH
rkeith@kansan.com
With many of us starting to talk "happily ever after" with our significant others, it's fairly common to see updates on Facebook and Twitter about our friends becoming engaged. For some of us, monogamy is right around the corner. But for a lot of us, walking down the aisle isn't happening anytime soon.
When we dream of having blipped on our left ring fingers, seeing others do it first can send us reeling. However, despite where we are in our relationships (or lack there of), it's important to keep in mind that flashy ring or not, what matters more is understanding that marriage isn't the solution to having what we really desire.
A friend of mine from sixth grade tied the knot this past summer, and for awhile it made me ask, "When's my turn?" Literally a quarter of all of my friends online are married or engaged, and now that my class and I have graduated, it seems like I never need to wait long for news that another person I know is set to wed.
Harvard University professor Daniel Gilbert, who holds a doctorate degree in social psychology, says that generally, married people are happier than those who are not, not because they are married, but because the biggest indication of happiness in one's life is whether or not he has good relationships with people around him. In that same way, people who were once unhappily married often have spikes of happiness once the divorce finalizes.
According to a marriage study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, marriage is not the key to happiness and should not be viewed as such. It sounds simple enough, but when culture and instincts combine to suggest that not tying the knot means something is wrong with us and that we're therefore being weeded out by evolution, it can be a difficult concept to process, especially for us women.
So rather than walking down the aisle, what generally makes people happiest is when they're engaging in some kind of positive social interaction from chatting on Facebook to lounging at The Java Break to having sex.
tells us that happiness is relative. My relationship with my own long-term boyfriend is a good one, but I do get bored and become frustrated with it. As long as that's addressed, though, it's okay and to be expected.
When he and I engage in new and exciting things, our happiness as a couple spikes but regresses to its normal point with time. And that's not a warning that our relationship is doomed to crumble out of boredom. All it means is that we're like everyone else, including my old newlywed friend.
Therefore, as long as our happiness doesn't fall below our normal level and stay there, whether my boyfriend throws a proposal into the equation is irrelevant. I may dream of weddings on Pinterest, but because what I have with my beau is good, we're happy with where we are, even against the backdrop of our peers saying "I do." In the end, I'm really just pinning links of dresses, finger desserts and flowers, not actual marriages.
Despite many of us having desires for our future relationship endavours, we must first be satisfied with the here and now. Not reaching that point sooner can wreak havoc on our nunitals later.
We need to be satisfied with our single lives because betting on our happiness can come at a terrible price, namely of a marriage, half of our stuff, and $500 an hour. In the end, it's a gamble no one should take lightly.
Earlier this month when I became a redhead, I thought about my old friend and told my hair stylist about my plans to move in with my boyfriend next August and start a life together. I expressed my excitement but also told her about my anxiety about such a major life change. She just kept dying my hair and said, "There's plenty of time to play house." It was so simple yet some of the best advice I'd ever heard.
Further, basic psychology
When I left the salon I got in my car, and as I took a picture of my new hair, I looked at my left hand. There was no ring. But I had love.
I was in a good place.

OVERLY OBSESSIVE GIRLFRIEND
In a previous edition of the University Daily Kansan on August 15, there was a column titled "Don't Facebook yourself out of a job." While employers may think you're not hirable, friends may just think you're a complete idiot. Admit it, there's a person you know who simply should not be allowed to use social media. Here are a few examples of constant posts about things that you just can't even pretend to care about.
There's always some girl who posts constantly about her boyfriend. Please, if you want to tell your boyfriend how amazing he is, call him instead of posting four paragraphs on his wall every day. Seriously, I don't know how anyone would not get annoyed by that. Heck, there are even some guys who do that. Simply said, don't obsessively post about your significant other.
MIRROR PICTURE A DAY
By Stephanie Bickel
sbickel@kansan.com
I do not see how some people can post a mirror picture of themselves (also known as "selfies") nearly every day and still get likes on it. Have you really changed that much in a 24-hour span that you need to show all of your 847 friends a new picture? Even worse are people who take
pictures with an iPad in the mirror. You look like you're posing with a small cookie sheet.
EXCESSIVELY SHARING PICTURES
"Like if you remember this from the 90!!" "Share this if you agree!" "There's always that one best friend who you can tell everything!" I really do not want to see all of these pictures because it's like chain mail. Go back onto AOL or MSN mail if you insist on doing this.
BRAGGING
Everyone does it and I think it's okay to an extent. Posting about your fabulous new internship or getting accepted into medical school is understandable. But when you check into the gym on your phone a few times a week or post pictures of yourself doing a keg-stand, everyone gets it, you think you're cool. Chances are, not many people think the same.
THE ACTIVIST
This one is pretty simple. Posting about how much the other political party is, or how stupid another religion is, really won't really change much. Everyone has their opinion, but by constantly putting a negative opinion about the other party or religion does not necessarily convert the world of Facebook to your view.
WANNABE NEWSCASTER
It's raining outside? How fascinating. Angry Griffith just died? Better post five videos of him and tell Facebook all about it as if they have no ways of finding on their own. Facebook isn't "Good Morning America."
If these types of Facebook users truly are unbearable, there is the option to block their posts from appearing on your newsfeed. Either that, or just continue to use the annoying posts as a form of entertainment.

In this July 20, 2009, photo, Buzz Aldrin, left, Michael Collins, center, and Neil Armstrong stand in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, on the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Neil Armstrong was a quiet self-described nerdy engineer who became a global hero when as a steely-nerved pilot he made "one giant leap for mankind" with a small step on to the moon. The modest man who had people on Earth entranced and awed from almost a quarter million miles away has died, according to his family, on Saturday. He was 82.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
When Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon, on July 20, 1969, he uttered a phrase that has been carved in stone and quoted across the planet: "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind."
The grainy black-and-white television images of him taking his first lunar stroll were watched by an estimated 600 million people worldwide _ and firmly established him as one of the great heroes of the 20th century.
Armstrong, who had heart surgery in early August, died Saturday in Cincinnati at 82, said NASA spokesman Bob Jacobs. The cause was complications from cardiovascular procedures, his family announced.
For the usually taciturn Armstrong, the poetic statement was a rare burst of eloquence, a sound bite for the ages that only increased his fame. He was never comfortable with celebrity he saw as an accident of fate, for stepping on the moon ahead of fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. The reticent, self-effacing Armstrong would shun the spotlight for much of the rest of his life.
In a rare public appearance, in 2000, Armstrong cast himself in another light: "I am, and ever will be, a white-sock, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer."
History would beg to disagree.
In a statement, President Barack Obama said that when Armstrong stepped on the moon, "he delivered a moment of human achievement that will never be forgotten."
His biographer, James R. Hansen, called Armstrong "one of the best-known and least-understood people on the planet."
When asked to describe the astronaut in just a few words, Hansen told Ohio's Columbus Dispatch in 2005 that Armstrong was "stoic, self-controlled, dedicated, earnest, hardworking and honest."
Neil Alden Armstrong was born Aug. 5, 1930, on his grandfather's farm near Wapakoneta, Ohio, and had a happy and conventional upbringing.
His civil servant father, Stephen Armstrong, audited county records in Oho and later served as assistant director of the Ohio Mental Hygiene and Corrections Department. The family of his mother, Viola, owned the farm.
For more than a decade, his family moved around Ohio to accommodate his father's job before settling down in Wapakoneta.
A good student, Armstrong was a much-decorated Boy Scout and played the baritone horn in a school band. But aviation always came first.
driver's license.
In 1945, he started taking flying lessons, paying for them by working as a stock clerk at a drugstore. On his 16th birthday, he got his pilot's license but didn't yet have a
After flight training, Armstrong was assigned to the carrier Essex, flying combat missions over North Korea. Although one of the Panther jets he flew off the carrier was crippled by enemy fire, he nursed the plane back over South Korea before bailing out safely.
By 1963, NASA was striving to fulfill President John F. Kennedy's goal of beating the Soviet Union in the space race and putting an American on the moon before the end of the decade. Kennedy wanted some civilian astronauts, and Armstrong was one of the first.
In 1966, he made his first space flight, with fellow astronaut David R. Scott. Their ship, Gemini 8, was docking with an unmanned Agena rocket when a malfunctioning thruster sent the interlocked space vehicles tumbling uncontrollably.
Unperturbed, Armstrong disconnected the two vehicles, brought Gemini 8 back under control and made a safe emergency landing in the Pacific. NASA officials cited his "extraordinary piloting skill" and took note of his calm.
Two years later, a lunar landing training vehicle Armstrong was piloting suffered control failure just 200 feet off the ground. Armstrong ejected, parachuting to safety.
On Jan. 1, 1969, he was named commander of Apollo 11, the first manned spaceship scheduled to land on the moon. His crewmates were fellow space veterans Aldrin
and Michael Collins.
Five months later, the massive Apollo 11 spaceship was nudged carefully onto the launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Fla., at Kennedy Space Center.
On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 blasted off. Two and a half hours later, after an orbit and a half around the Earth, onboard rockets fired to send the spaceship on its three-day trip to the moon. Once in lunar orbit, Armstrong and Aldrin clambered into the Eagle and descended toward the lunar surface, leaving Collins to circle above them.
Six hours and 52 minutes later, as an onboard television camera sent grainy but stunning images back for the world to see, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on lunar soil.
On July 20, 1969, at 1:04:40 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, the small spacecraft came to rest gently near the moon's dry Sea of Tranquillity.
His famous quote that would reverberate through time was actually missing a word, Armstrong said soon after returning to Earth.
As he gazed down at his footprint, the first made by a human on the moon, Armstrong said that he intended to say "one small step for a man" and thought that was what he had said. In a rare 1999 interview, he admitted he could not hear the "a" when he listened to the radio transmission as it traveled almost a quarter million miles back to Earth.

A steady line of cars moved north Saturday along the Overseas Highway, the only road linking the Florida Keys. Residents boarded up windows, laid down sandbags and shuttered businesses ahead of the approaching storm. Even Duval Street, Key West's storied main drag, was subdued for a weekend, though not enough to stop music from playing or drinks from being poured.
On Key West, locals followed time-worn storm preparedness rituals while awaiting the storm after Isaac swamped the Caribbean and shuffled plans for the Republican National Convention. Forecasters said the storm was expected to reach the archipelago sometime Sunday at or near hurricane strength.

KEY WEST, Fla. — Tropical Storm Isaac gained fresh muscle Sunday as it bore down on the Florida Keys, with forecasters warning it could grow into a dangerous Category 2 hurricane as it nears the northern Gulf Coast.
Isaac drew new strength early Sunday during a warm-water crossing of the Florida Straits after causing weekend havoc in Cuba, where it downed trees and power lines. Before that, Isaac was blamed for four deaths in Haiti.

In baseball, you won't find a single clock or buzzer. Games can last two, four or even seven hours. It's up to the players on the field to determine how long a game will last. As soon as the pitcher steps foot on the mound, it's up to him and his catcher to figure out how to get that ball from his hand, past the batter and into the catcher's mitt for a strike.
If they're able to do that consistently.
they'll most likely come out on top. Meanwhile, the batter is doing everything he can to prevent that from happening by getting inside the pitcher's mind and looking for a pitch he can hit.
It's also no secret that hitting a baseball is one of the toughest things to do in sports, if not the toughest.
Imagine trying to hit a 95 mph fastball. In order to successfully make good contact with the ball, you only have a fraction of time to put the barrel of the bat to the球. If you're even a
millimeter off, it can be the difference between a foul ball and a home run. That's why in baseball, a good batting average is around .300, which means getting three hits for every ten at-bats.
For those who say the game is boring, I say this: Just because there aren't at least 10 runs every single game doesn't mean it's not worth watching.
If batters are striking out and no one is hitting the ball, people might find the game boring. However, if they just watch the other half of the game, they'd see that there's a good reason why they can't hit the ball: The pitcher for the opposing team is having a great game. So in reality, there's never a bad game.

While the players on the field maneuver strategies in each inning to drive runners in, the atmosphere in the stadium only adds to the beauty of the game. There's something special about seeing a game in front of a packed crowd. For three hours, fans from all around the country come together and put whatever distractions they might
have in their lives to the side and lose themselves in the game. That's because, for those three hours, nothing else matters. All that matters is that their team comes out on top.
If you take the time to look around the stadium, you will find something new that you didn't notice before. From the freshly cut grass, to the smell of grilled hot dogs to seeing a father and son enjoy their first game together, it really doesn't get any better.

Jayhawks redeem themselves after defeating Bulldogs
TYLER CONOVER

On Friday, the Kansas soccer team did something it hadn't done in almost three years: beat a top 25 team. To make the win even better, it was against the Georgia Bulldogs, the team that knocked the Jayhawks out of the NCAA tournament last year.
The freshmen on the team were not a part of last season's loss to the Bulldogs, but for
returning players, this game had a little more meaning than most regular season matches.
"I think that everyone had that in the back of their mind," said junior forward Caroline Kastor. "I mean, they ended our season last year. This year, we didn't want them to come away with a win."
The match ended in a shutout as senior Kat Liebetrau and the rest of the team played a great game defensively. Despite
missing starting left back senior Cassie Dickerson, who was injured against Northwestern last Sunday.
Sophomore Haley Yearout got the nod to start in place of the injured Jayhawk, and coach Mark Francis said she took the opportunity by the horns.
"Haley was unbelievable today," Francis said. "That is the first game she has ever played left back. Today, she was great, and we expect that out of
her now, knowing what she is capable of."
It was a defensive struggle throughout the match, with the lone goal coming in the 22nd minute as Kastor was able to bury a rebound after a corner kick was mishandled by Georgia's keeper.
The goal didn't come easy for Kastor, but she doesn't mind working for her shot.
"I just saw it as an opportunity to fight for the ball and something
good is always going to come from fighting for the ball as you can see from the outcome of the game," Kastor said.
the lajahwks were able to keep possession of the ball for most of the game, but the opportunity to score did not present itself very clearly with only three shots on goal. However, they were able to grind out the win on the defensive side of the ball, and that is fine with Francis.
"I think today, we had to
defend a little bit more today than in the previous two games," Francis said. "If we don't bring the fight that we brought for 90 minutes today, then we don't win that game."

KEY RETURNERS:

RB Aaron Crawford, WR Adam James, WR Jacoby Franks, C Justin Keown, DE Scott Smith, NT Donald Langley
TOP NEWCOMERS:
The Red Raiders roped in two four-star wide receivers who could complement leading receiver Eric Ward. Reginald Davis and Dominic Wheeler, native Texans, lead Texas Tech's 2012 class along with defensive end Michael Starts. Davis and Wheeler both stand 6-foot-1-inch, and while Davis has a slightly faster 40-yard dash, Wheeler makes up for it with a few extra pounds. Of the receivers, only Ward broke the 800-yard mark, so any help downfield will make life easier for senior Seth Doege.
Texas Tech isn't in the same boat as Kansas, but it's certainly sharing the same ocean. The Red Raiders have finished one place above Kansas each of the last two seasons. The disconnect with the Raiders begins on defense. In 2011, they ranked 117th in the nation for points against. To stop the bleeding, Texas Tech brought in former University of North Carolina defensive coordinator Art Kaufman. In Chapel Hill, Kaufman implemented a system that helped the Tar Heels rank 48th in total defense. He is Texas Tech's fourth defensive coordinator in as many years.
STORY TO WATCH:
Can the Red Raiders finally
get their defense together?
Art Kaufman was Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville's defensive coordinator at Ole Miss in the late 1990s—will the two be able to recreate their chemistry? And can Kaufman make it to that elusive second season as the Raiders defensive coach?
With Doege's ability to throw more than 4,000 yards, it all comes back to the defense.
THEY SAID IT:
"Just being here a couple of years, everybody said: You're on the hot seat. I'd like to coach a few of these guys I recruited. So hopefully, we can get this thing going a little bit better each year. We're not there yet. I'll be the first to tell you, but we're much closer than we were three years ago."

Senior quarterback Dayne Crist has a second chance. His time playing in Notre Dame did
not go how he thought it would; he stepped onto the gridiron in nine games in 2010 and four games in 2011.
However, barring injury, Crist will be the starting quarterback this season for the layhawks, and he has

coach Charlie Weis' support.
"This could be a wonderful story, and I'd like to be writing it." Weis said. "Not for me, but for him, because I'm a very, very big fan of the young man."
"I'm a huge fan of Dayne,"
Quinn said that Crist, who has one year of eligibility left, would be an asset to the Jayhawks.
Although Crist is a transfer student, he is familiar with Weis. Crist asked for advice from Brady Quinn, who played football in Notre Dame when Weis was the coach. Crist and Quinn met in Lawrence before Quinn signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in March.
Crist
is going to get that this season. I think with coach Weis, hopefully it's where he is going to flourish."
Crist has made a smooth transition into a new school and football program because of his familiarity with Weis
and the Notre Dame football pro- program.
"He really likes it here," Weis said. "Remember now, the kid hasn't had the best few years. Just when he's getting ready to be the man, the head coach gets canned. You come in, new system, you don't fit and it didn't go so well."
Crist is now part of an offense with a veteran offensive line, with whom he has established a rapport. In his career, Crist has completed 58 percent of his passes, and has thrown for 2,327 yards, 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
FOOTBALL NOTES
Edited by Nikki Wentling
- Coach Charlie Weis announced that junior long snapper Justin Carnes has been suspended for the first three games of the 2012 season for violating a team rule. "As I have previously stated, every player on our队 knows and understands our rules and regulations," Weis said. "They also know the consequences for violations of those rules and regulations."
- Carnes was the long snapper for the Jayhawks in 10 games last season. He was listed at the top of the depth chart and was projected to be the team's starting long snapper going into the September 1 game against South Dakota State.
- Former Jayhawk tight end Tim Biere was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, along with 13 other players. The Chiefs now have 75 players on the roster.

KANSAS SOCCER INVITATIONAL
COMMENTARY Offensive line must function
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
If the Jayhawks have any shot at improving those numbers, it all starts and ends with the big guys up front. With the leadership and experience in the trenches, the offensive line should be primed and ready to be the cornerstones of the Jayhawk offensives.
Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk
There are many determining factors that will decide how successful this Kansas football team can be.
Many perceive senior quarterback Dayne Crist as the missing piece to the Kansas offense. The wide receiver core has plenty of talent with three seniors in D.J. Beshears, Kale Pick and Dayne Patterson. Even the backfield features three solid running backs, which include junior James Sims and sophomores Tony Pierson and Brandon Bourbon.
These elements, however, are not the answer to the Jayawks' problems. The answer lies in the trenches, and it starts with the offensive line.
Yes, the big guys up front may not receive all the glory, but offensive linemen are extremely crucial to a team's success. Their ability to protect the quarterback are two main attributes that many programs look for.
The Jayhawks have experience with tackle and team captain Tanner Hawkinson, guard Duane Zlatik and center Trevor Marrengelli. All three of these linemen are fifth-year seniors, with Zlatik and Hawkinson starting the last 20 games together. This unit will rely on that experience to help protect Crist.
Now for the bad. Protecting the quarterback has been a struggle at Kansas. Last year, the offensive line failed to provide any sort of protection, allowing former quarterback Jordan Webb to be sacked 31 times.
The 2011 offense must improve after averaging a dismal 167 passing yards, good for 101st in the nation. The layhawks also need to score more points, only averaging 22 points per game last season, 95th in the nation.
Webb was tied for 13th in the nation for getting sacked the most, and sadly, the numbers get worse. Last season, the Kansas offensive line allowed 2.58 sacks per game, a mark that tied with Indiana for 96th in the country in sacks allowed.
At the University of Notre Dame, quarterback Dayne Crist had his moments, but battled injuries back in 2009 and 2010. The line should be motivated to protect a vital part of the offense that has batted injuries in the past. If the line allows 30 or more sacks like last season, Crist won't be able to stand or succeed for his one year to shine.
Those are alarming numbers, but maybe the line will be extra motivated this season to turn things around.

"We fought hard all weekend, we were able to get two wins in one weekend," Berry said.
The Kansas soccer team beat the UNLV Rebels 3-0 on Sunday in the final game of the Kansas Invitational. Senior forward/midfielder Whitney Berry had a goal and two assists, while freshman forward Courtney Dickerson scored her first goal as a Jayhawk.
Dickerson.
The Jayhawks did not look back and took over the game in the second half. Dickerson and sophomore forward Jamie Fletcher each scored on assists from Berry as the Jayhawks improved their record to 4-1 on the season. The team ended the weekend with two wins — both shutouts — despite the absence of senior defender Cassie
Kansas started the game slowly and struggled to possess the ball during the opening half hour before Berry opened the scoring. She received the ball from a UNLV clearance and curled a right-footed shot into the upper corner, leaving the goalie rooted to the ground.
UNLV struggled to create scoring chances as the Kansas defense got its second straight shutout. Senior goalie Kat Liebetrau made four saves.
Last weekend, the Jayhawks dropped the second game of the tournament to Northwestern, but this time, there was no letdown after beating No. 24 Georgia on Friday night.
Fletcher and Berry caused UNLV problems all day and Dickerson had the best game of her young career as the three combined for 15 of the Jayhawks 23 shots.
"She is now confident about coming out," Francis said when discussing her command of the box.
"For us to achieve the goals the kids set at the beginning of the year, we can't split on weekends," coach Mark Francis said.
Among the great performances
for the layhawks was sophomore defender Caroline Van Slambrouck, who got forward from her left back position to contribute to the layhawks offense all afternoon.
Senior forward/midfielder Haley Yearout, who started the game, left in the 33rd minute after suffering a slight tweak in her leg during the first half.
"She probably could have played her if we had to," Francis said. "We decided to keep her out rather than making it worse, let her get better and that way by Tuesday and Wednesday she will be back at it."
The Jayhawks will play Creighton on Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex before a Sunday afternoon game against Arizona State.
"The standard is winning for us," Berry said. "I think overall, mentally and physically, everyone is here and going to come out and do their best no matter what."

Kansas defeated at Arkansas Invitational
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
The volleyball team played three solid games statistically at the Arkansas Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., during the weekend. However, costly errors during the title match against Arkansas left the Jayhawks with a 2-1 record as a result.
The Jayhawks defeated the Northwestern State Lady Demons in their first match Friday night 3-0, and defeated the Tennessee Martin Skyhawks also 3-0.
They took the first set against Arkansas 25-18 and had set in front in the second set after an ace by junior middle blocker Marianne Beal. Yet a 5-1 run by the Razorbacks lost them the set, which set the tone for the rest of the night. Arkansas won the close match 3-1, despite a statistical advantage for the Jayhawks in hitting percentage.
service aces, blocks and digs.
"There were times tonight where we were dominant," coach Ray Bechard said. "We were in a great position a couple of times, but this is a very good Arkansas队."
The third set was similar to the second, as the Jayhawks saw a 23-19 advantage end up in a 26-24 set loss. The Razorbacks used their momentum to build a comfortable lead in the fourth set before withstanding a desperate Kansas rally. Senior outside hitter Jasmine Norton paced Arkansas with a game-high of 20 kills against the Jayhawks.
Serving was key during the Arkansas match. The Jayhawks had four aces and 11 service errors, while Arkansas had one ace and eight errors. Although Kansas had a better ratio, Bechard said the timing of the Jayhawks' errors hurt them.
"Obviously, I think we had one at set point," Bechard said.
"That's a big no-no. I'm not that disappointed in the number as I am maybe the timing of them."
During the tournament,
Bechard varied his starting line-ups — 14 jayhawks played — and most players had a significant effect. Redshirt junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael had 29 kills during the tournament, including a career-high 14 kills against Arkansas. Carmichael had 37 kills last season. Sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton contributed 35 kills as well, including a career-high of 16 kills against the Razbards. Defensively, junior defensive specialist Brianne Riley recorded 66 digs, which earned her the tournament's outstanding libero honor.
Junior setter Erin McNorton may have had the most impressive tournament for Kansas. She entered the tournament with 129 career assists, but set a new career-high in each of the three matches, notching 131 assists for the tournament. McNorton said she was able to get that many assists because the Jayahwaks made solid contact on almost all of their hits.
"I think our passes were really good," McNorton said. "Our first contact is something that we always work on."
Senior middle blocker Tayler Toilefre also starred in the Northwestern State match, recording seven kills and a .700 hitting percentage, leading the team to a .364 overall hitting percentage, easily outdistancing Northwestern State's .019 percentage. She followed that up with another hitting percentage — .412 against Tennessee-Martin — and had a .368 percentage against Arkansas to go with eight blocks
Redshirt junior Caroline Jarmoc, a preseason All-Big 12 team selection, had 34 kills, 11 digs and 12 blocks. She spearheaded a strong team offensive
performance throughout the tournament, as she, McClinton, sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers, Toleflee and Carmichael all had at least one match with nine blocks. Jarmoc said the Jayhawks' court positioning keyed their strong offensive performance.
"I think maintaining spacing from the net and getting our feet to the ball was a huge thing, obviously," Jarmcad sme.
The Jayhawks begin a seven-match home stand this Friday at 11:30 a.m. when they host Sam Houston State in the Kansas Volleyball Invitational at the Horeksi Family Athletics Center. Kansas will also host Tulsa and Arkansas State during the tournament.

"I would rather be in debt and come here than go to a school in Texas and not like it," Marshall said.
In the past few years, the KU Office of Admissions has increased its efforts to bring in non-residential students. Matt Melvin, associate vice provost of enrollment management, said the primary market for recruitment is Kansas students, however, the number of high school graduates in Kansas is declining. Furthermore, according to the ACT profile report, about 36 percent of Kansas high school students with ACT scores between 28 and 36 are interested in leaving the state to attend college.
Recruitment efforts to focus on out-of-state
As a high school student, KU sophomore Chloe Marshall remembers long car rides from her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, to Lawrence. Her parents, both University of Kansas alumni, would bring her on these trips to attend Kansas football and basketball games. One of her older sisters, Sydney, attends the University, and when it was time for Chloe to choose a school, she followed suit.

Chloe is the type of student the University is looking to recruit. She had an interest in the school and the ability and financial resources to attend an out-of-state university.
the state. According to the Kansas Board of Regents' 2012 data book, non-residential undergraduate students at the University pay about $6,000 more per semester than students who are Kansas residents.
In order to enroll more nonresidential students, Melvin said the Office of Admissions is targeting specific areas where students are likely to travel out of their home state for higher education. The University also has an alumni recruitment group; members of the group will attend college fairs in areas where the University is not as visible.
"We pull students largely from the central part of the country," Melvin said. States like Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, and Texas are "historically strong feeder states."
Enrolling more out-of-state students may have long-term benefits, too. Melvin said it is a common belief that these students will stay, work and live in Kansas after graduating.
"We are also doing more in California as well as exploring testing some markets in the southeast part of the country," he said.
Marshall may fall right in line with this assumption. She plans to stay in Kansas for at least four years after she graduates in 2015, as a stipulation for a scholarship she received.
"Recruiting out-of-state students has the potential to serve as an economic engine for the state," he said.
"I have to teach four years in Kansas at a low-income school," Marshall said. "I don't know if I'll stay here my whole life, but I would like to stay longer after I'm out of school."

Students should be relieved to discover something new on campus this fall: higher quality toilet paper. The University is rolling out two-ply toilet paper across campus after student complaints about the campus's quality of toilet paper surfaced last November. An article published in the Kansan detailed students' frustration with the one-ply paper. After garnering attention from students, the alumni magazine, and The

Green said the toilet paper vendor was able to supply the two-ply tissue at no additional cost to students. For fiscal year 2012, Green ordered 103,584 rolls of the two-ply product at a cost of $33,000, which means each student is expected to wipe out three and a half rolls at a cost of $3.10.
shot," Jensen said.
"It wasn't my number one concern, but I am pleased that they switched," Franik said. "I like that they listened to what the students have to say and that they followed through."
Sami Franiku, a junior from Tonganoxie, has already noticed a difference, after finding the oneply paper to be low quality and uncomfortable.
This is not the first time the University has seen higher quality toilet paper. Don Steeple, former senior vice provost for the University, recalls a vendor supplying higher quality paper nearly 10 years ago. But the supply did not last long after students began to steal it, he said.
"There was quite a bit of grassroots action on the issue," said Steve Green of KU Facility Services. "We tried a pilot program and decided to go campus wide with the two-ply product."
Andrew Jensen, a senior from Everest, would sometimes "hold it" until he left campus to avoid the one-ply toilet paper.
"Now that there's a better product, I'm willing to give it another
"The fact that you would go into a stall and somebody had stolen the roll of toilet paper can be a real disappointment." Steeples said. "Once the supply was used up then everything after that had chunks of wood still in it."
Lawrence Journal World, KU Facility Services have now adopted two-ply toilet paper campus wide.
Cole Bittel, a junior from Basehor, hopes the two-ply product is here to stay, as he too was frustrated with the one-ply toilet paper.
Bittel also wants students to keep their eyes open for any toilet paper thieves.
"I was always worried about getting turd on my hand because it would break," Bittel said.
"You would have to be really flaky to steal toilet paper, just like how the one-ply paper was," Bittel said.

Several years ago, two men attacked former KU student Kenna Gates and her roommate as they walked home from a local bar. The attackers, who Gates said had been watching her roommate throughout the night, followed the two women, striking Gates and attempting to force her friend into a vehicle. What their attackers did not anticipate was that Gates and her friend would fight back.
Gates, a 2005 graduate, participated in a free self-defense class at PUNCH Boxing + Fitness this Saturday. She said she wanted to participate because she knows
Free class promotes safety awareness
ACCIDENT
Student pinned in between two SUVs
PUNCH Boxing + Fitness manager John Heleniak assisted with the class, and said his interest in self-defense came from his experience owning a bar. Heleniak owned The Jayhawk Cafe for 12 years, as well as managing several other drinking establishments. He said one of his biggest concerns during that time was keeping his employees safe at night.

Instructor Mike McAtee of the Lawrence Police Department began the class by telling the group of women that, statistically, 25 percent of them would be a victim of a violent crime. He said that, although victims may not be able to "out muscle" their attackers, they can escape by preparing mentally.
"You can do that in the bus going to class. You can do that driving to work," he said. "So when it happens, you have a plan. You've been there in your mind at least 500 times."

how easy it is for students to become victims if they are naive about their chances of being attacked.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, a spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, said Lawrence has a feeling of community, and that can lead to residents being unaware of their surroundings. He added that Lawrence being a college town leads to a false feeling of safety, especially among incoming freshmen.
"There's a newfound feeling of freedom and independence," McKinley said. "And at times that's something that's euphoric that people get caught up in and go a little bit overboard."
incidents loosely grouped along Massachusetts Street and around the intersection of 14th and Ohio Streets. Several local bars are in these areas. McKinley said alcohol was a factor in the majority of situations involving students.
The Lawrence Police Department reported 889 simple assaults and 132 aggravated assaults for the first six months of this year. A 48-hour tracking of police dispatches shows
An 18-year-old University student was struck by a SUV and critically injured Sunday morning on the 1600 block of Tennessee Street after attending a house party.
Colby Listen, a freshman from Derby, was getting a ride from the party when he was pinned between two SUVs at about 1:26 a.m. He was attempting to get into a rear-car door of a 1999 Ford Explorer, according to a Lawrence
Police Department press release.
Others climbed into the back of the vehicle before him, which was parked on the right lane of Tennessee Street, a one-way street. While trying to enter the SUV, a 2005 Ford Explorer heading southbound hit him, pinning Liston between both vehicles.
According to the release, a 21-year-old University student was driving the SUV that hit Liston.
Nick Rondo, a Washburn University student, was standing in the yard of the house hosting
the party and saw the accident.
"I saw the second car coming and realized it wasn't stopping," Rondo said. "I saw him pinned between the cars and then he fell down. Everyone started running toward him and calling 911."
Liston was taken to the University of Kansas Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition Monday. Others involved in the accident were treated for minor injuries, according to the release.
people were at the party, but said there were a lot of people in and outside the house that night.
"It was pretty dark out." Rondo said. "There weren't a lot of lights, but it was awful."
Police did not issue tickets at the scene, but "intoxicants were present in the involved parties and blood test results are pending," the release said. The results will be sent to the district attorney's office.
Rondo was not sure how many

Students discuss
Pussy Riot over Skype
Mariya Omelicheva, chair of the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, estimated that around 45 people had stopped by the Big 12 Room of the Kansas Union on Monday to listen in and ask questions via Skype with Moscow based journalist Kirill Mikhailov. The Skype session focused on the imprisonment of Russian based female punk band Pussy Riot and the political uprisings currently taking place in Moscow. The protestors are speaking out against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Two members of the band are facing two years in prison for 'hooliganism' after performing an anti-Putin song in an orthodox church. Kirill explained the church is also a popular tourist attraction
Political science professor Erik Herron started the hour-long discussion by telling the audience about Kirill's background as both a journalist and activist. Herron invited the audience to ask questions. The questions ranged from politics, justice, media, freedom of speech and more.
Kirill first talked about the band members.
"These three girls are artists, they are not criminals,"Kirill said. "This was the point of no return. This was the point where the Pussy Riot trial is showing that Putin and his team will do anything to make people love their country."
When asked by a member of the audience if the band's actions have raised any skepticism of a publicity stunt, Kirill confidently answered, "This was the only thing the girls had in mind - that singing their song in the church would get the attention of the media and society."

Law School receives scholarship donation
A couple donated $800,000 in scholarship funds to the University of Kansas School of Law.
David and Debbi Elkouri established a $500,000 Elkouri Family Scholarship Fund through the KU Endowment Association. A renewable $16,000 scholarship will be awarded for the next 12 years to a Kansas resident at the School of Law and $9,000 will be awarded to deserving students by Stephen Mazza, law school dean.
"The area of biggest need at the law school is for scholarships to enhance the quality of the student body and keep in-state Kansas kids at the University of Kansas," said David Elkouri in a KU news release. "We are losing very qualified Kansas applicants to other law schools, many of which are out of state. We need to do what we can to get them to enroll at KU Law."
David Elkouri received a bachelor's degree in accounting and business administration from KU. He also received a juries doctorate in 1978 from the KU School of Law. His wife, Debbi, graduated from the University of Oklahoma. The Elkouri's three children received bachelor's degrees at KU. One of them, Justin Elkouri, received a law degree KU School of Law.
Storm blamed for police force at RNC

TAMPA. Fla. — Protesters blamed Tropical Storm Isaac and a massive police presence Monday for their weak showing at the Republican National Convention. Only a fraction of the 5,000 expected demonstrators actually turned out to criticize the GOP's economic and social policies.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hundreds of police officers and heavily armed members of the Florida National Guard patrolled the streets of downtown Tampa. The protesters were required to conduct their rallies and parades in designated areas and along specified routes, none closer than about a half-mile from where Republicans would be gathering.
"They've militarized Tampa.
The chilling effect has succeeded," said Cara Jennings, a voter outreach organizer from Palm Beach County.
About 200 people marched as part of the Coalition to March on the RNC's rally in an empty lot near the arena where the Republicans will be nominating Mitt Romney as their candidate for president. Sporadic heavy rain lashed the city and winds were gusting at 35 mph as Isaac passed to the west of Tampa in the Gulf of Mexico. The Republicans themselves had canceled most of their Monday activities because of the storm.
A breakoff group later marched against the wars that are ongoing overseas. Tampa police blocked traffic for the unplanned march and arrested

Kenyan gunmen kill cleric, spark riots
2013
Members of the public gather at the scene where Aboud Rogo was shot and killed in a beach area of Mombasa, Kenya, Monday, Aug. 27., according to local sources.
NAIROBI, Kenya — Gunmen in Kenya's coastal city of Mombasa killed a Muslim cleric accused by Washington and the United Nations of supporting al-Qaida-linked militants in Somalia, sparking rioting by youths in which one person died and at least one police car was burned.
The killing on Monday of Aboud Rogo fits into a pattern of extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances of suspected terrorists that is allegy, lily being orchestrated by Kenyan police, say Kenyan human rights groups.
Rogo was shot dead as he drove with his family in Mombasa, Rogo's lawyer, Mbugua Murethi, told The Associated Press. Rogo's wife was wounded in the leg, said Rogo's father who was also in the car along with Rogo's 5-year-old daughter. He said he and the girl weren't injured.
At the scene of the killing, Rogo's wife angrily accused police of the murder.
"It is you policemen who have killed him, we don't want a post-mortem or any help from you," said Khaniya Said Sagar to police who came to assist her.
Khaniya said that she was being taken to hospital for a backup after she had miscarriage two weeks ago.
Rogo's killing quickly sparked off protests by hundreds of Muslim youths who went on the rampage on the streets of Mombasa, as his body was being taken for burial, in line with Muslim customs of burying the dead on the same day they died.
The Muslim Human Rights Forum condemned Rogos murder, calling it an "extrajudicial killing" and calling for an "an end to targeted killings and enforced disappearances of terrorism suspects."
MHRF Chairman Al-Amin Kimathi said that last month Rogo and Abubakar Shariff Ahmed, who were both suspects in a terror-related case, survived an abduction attempt by gunmen they claimed were state agents who accosted them as they arrived in the capital city.
The abduction attempt was foiled by members of the public
who came to their aid when the two shouted for help as they resisted the heavily armed men, Kimisha said.
Fearing for their lives they sought an adjournment and a transfer of the case from the Nairobi courts to another town, he said.

Afghan insurgents behead 17 after celebration
KABUL, Afghanistan — Insurgents attacked a large party in a Taliban-controlled area of southern Afghanistan and beheaded 17 people, officials said on Monday.
A local government official initially said the victims were civilians at a celebration late Sunday involving music and dancing in the Musa Qala district of Helmand province. The official, Neyamatullah Khan, said the Taliban killed the party-goers for flouting the extreme brand of Islam embraced by the militants.
However, provincial government spokesman Daoud Ahdoumadi said later that those killed were caught up in a fight between two Taliban commanders over two women,
who were among the dead. Ahmadi said shooting broke out during the fight but it was unclear whether the music and dancing triggered the violence, and whether the dead were all civilians or possibly included some fighters.
All of the bodies were decapitated, but it was not clear if they had been shot first, he said.
In other violence, two American soldiers were shot and killed by one of their Afghan colleagues in the east — bringing the number of Americans killed this month by Afghan allies to 12. Afghan officials said the killings appeared to be accidental. NATO would not comment on whether the killings were
intentional or accidental, but a U.S. Defense Department official said there were indications that it was an intentional killing.
The Taliban has controlled large parts of Musa Qala, a district encompassing more than 100 villages, since 2001. They enforce the same strict interpretation of Islamic law that was imposed on all of Afghanistan during Taliban rule from 1996-2001.
U. S. Marines have battled the Taliban for years in Musa Qala, but the insurgent group still wields significant power in the area as international forces across the country draw down and hand over control to Afghan forces. Helmand province, where Musa Qala is located, is one of the areas that has seen the largest reduction in U.S. troops. The U.S. started reducing forces from a peak of nearly 103,000 last year, and plans to have 68,000 troops by October.
Many Afghans and international observers have expressed concerns that the Taliban will try to re-impose strict Islamic justice as international forces withdraw. Under the Taliban, all music and film was banned as un-Islamic, and women were barred from leaving their homes without a male relative as an escort.

Venezuela refinery fire kills 48 as fire spreads
PUNTO FIJO, Venezuela — The death toll rose to 48 at Venezuela's biggest oil refinery, where fires were still raking on Monday nearly three days after a powerful explosion.
The higher toll was announced by Falcon State Gov. Stella Lugo in remarks to the Venezuelan radio station Union Radio.
Residents in a neighborhood next to the refinery say they had no warning before the explosion hit at about 1 a.m. on Saturday.
"What bothers us is that there was no sign of an alarm. I would have liked for an alarm to have gone off or something," said Luis Suarez, a bank employee in the neighborhood. "Many of us woke up thinking it was an earthquake."
People who live next to the refinery said they smelled strong fumes coming from the refinery starting between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Friday, hours before the blast, but many said they weren't worried because
The blast knocked down walls, shattered windows and left streets littered with rubble.
they had smelled such odors before.
Then, a cloud of gas ignited in an area of fuel storage tanks and exploded. Some of the tanks were still burning on Monday, billowing black smoke.
President Hugo Chavez visited the refinery on Sunday and said investigators haven't yet determined what caused the disaster.
In a televised conversation with Chavez, one state oil company official said workers had made their rounds after 9 p.m. and hadn't noticed anything unusual. The official said that at about midnight officials detected the gas leak and "went out to the street to block traffic."
Energy analyst Jorge Pinon said the accounts of the hours leading up the explosion raise concerns.
"The fact that the gas leak went undetected for a number of hours and that there was no evacuation alarm (or) order indicates to me that there is a lack of safety related planning and behaviors throughout the complex, and most important in nearby communities", Pinon said.
BLOOD BOMB.
Fires continue to burn at the Amuay refinery near Punto Fijo, Venezuela, Monday. Aug. 27. A huge explosion rocked Venezuela's biggest oil refinery early Saturday killing at least 39 people and injuring more than 80 in Venezuela's deadliest refinery blast ever.

GENEVA — George Clooney headlined a fundraiser Monday that took in more than a half-million dollars for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, the second dinner this year where the actor has turned his A-list magnetism into political gold.
Clooney raised almost $15 million for Obama's campaign at Clooney's Los Angeles home in May. This time he turned to Geneva, the European hub of the United Nations and a global center for international organizations, governance and business, to pull in a more

Organizers said they had taken in at least $625,000 from U.S. donors for Obama's campaign, including many who were flying in to Geneva for the one-night event from around the world.

WASHINGTON — U.S. officials said Monday that they are reviewing a copy of a soon-to-beb published account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, checking for leaks of classified information.
The book, "No Easy Day," is scheduled for publication on Sept. 11.
The author, a former Navy SEAL who participated in the raid, did not submit the book for prepublication review that is required by the military secrecy agreements officials say he signed.
Pentagon regulations stipulate that retired personnel, former employees and non-active duty members of the Reserves"shall use the DoD security review process to ensure that information they submit for public release does not compromise national security."

Succeed in college without really trying
KU offers a lot of different and unique resources to its students. Basically, if you want a piece of information and are willing to look for it, you'll be able to find it. For the past week, Hawk Week Leaders have been a major source of information. However, there are a few tricks that the good leaders of Hawk Week probably didn't share. Thankfully, I'm willing to let you in on my secrets to success as a fellow student at KU.
TIP: EAT ALL THE TIME
Why: Frequent eating keeps your body from getting as hungry and therefore allows you to stay focused on tasks that you need to do for classes.
Yep, that's right. Instead of the standard three meals per day, I recommend eating small snack items throughout the day as you start to develop feelings of hunger.
The quality of food is up to you. Eat healthy if that's your style or junk food if that's what you prefer.
At some point during the semester you'll be up way past nightfall. Food will look as disgusting as the half-finished project you have due in the morning.
TIP: CHEW GUM AND GET STUFF DONE
By Angela Hawkins
ahawkins@kansan.com
Instead of looking at an empty screen for hours and before you consume gallons of caffeine, try popping in a piece of gum.
Why: Chewing gum gives your brain the illusion of eating. Simply by chewing something I'm able to focus on my projects a little while longer than I could have without the little boost. Also, this trick can be helpful when you have a lot to remember for a test. According to an article on CNN Health, chewing gum can help you perform slightly better.
Seriously, this is important. The college experience is important, but so is getting that piece
TIP: BE A ONE-PERSON BALANCING ACT
of paper that will make you marketable for certain jobs. So while it may sound like more fun to spend night after night after night with your friends and exploring all of the social aspects KU and Lawrence have to offer, restrain yourself.
Know how much time you need to study and create those boundaries for yourself. Set aside specific blocks of time to accomplish the majority of your homework. Likewise, give yourself time to experience life here as opposed to home. The time given to each category may not be equal, but it should allow you to succeed in both avenues.
Why: What does it matter that you had the college experience if you don't come away
from it with a degree that allows you to get a job? Too much fun could send your GPA to the gutters and either aid your trip to academic probation or even convince you to drop out. On the other hand, being in college offers unique experiences that shouldn't be overlooked. It's a chance to search for your adult identity. Balancing the two is a necessary part of collegiate success.
TIP: PUT IT ON THE LIST
What was that little piece of homework you needed to do for tomorrow's class? It's not on Blackboard and the professor didn't send out a reminder. You said to yourself, "I'll remember that. That's easy." What now? You don't remember.
Always write things down. And not just that there's work to do. I like to keep a sticky note to-do list. On it I keep assignments, quizzes and exams for all of my classes. The list allows me to see which assignment is due next and which test is coming up first.
Why: Sure, you have a great memory. But at some point, you'll forget. And even if you don't forget, even if you remember it all, the due dates can get all mumbled and jumbled together. Make it easy on yourself and just write it all down. Using a planner, calendar, bulletin board or system similar to mine allows you to prioritize much easier than just going off of the top of your head. Prioritizing can condense the amount of time you spend studying so you can get back to the whole socializing thing.
I hope that in some way this list helps you cut part of the learning curve that comes with a new way of life. As the year goes on, you'll develop your own tricks and your own way of getting things done. Don't be afraid of that unknown because no matter where you are in your Jayhawk journey, there'll always be positivity in that unknown.

ADVICE
Reject norms explore more
In an old interview that can be found in the archives of the Silicon Valley Historical Association, Steve Jobs says that there is a single secret that could change anyone's life altogether. It sure changed my way to approach life when I first heard it. I suggest you pay close attention to it also.
On the simple, unprofessional-looking footage, Steve Jobs talks about the typical lifestyle advice we tend to hear from our families and society. The one we are all used to, which says that we should all go to college, have a nice job, save a little money.
His argument is that just doing this would be an extremely limited life, and that life can be much more broad and complete, once we realize a neat little fact: everything we see in life (the institutions, the ideas, the products) were created by other regular people, no smarter than ourselves.
The implications of that, according to him, are amazing. It means we can create our own lifestyles, and mold our lives however we like. The decision is up to us, and there is no need to follow old norms.
By Arnobio Morelix amorelix@kansan.com
With that in mind, we developed 2 ways you can use to start following Steve Jobs advice today:
TAKE ADVICE, BUT NOT ORDERS
Obedience is highly prized in our species. We are supposed to follow a set of rules and norms to be considered respectable members in our society. But the problem with following orders is that if we do what everyone has done before we will get the same results. Orders seize directly on our freedom, and limit our potential. Although learning from advices can be a great learning opportunity, just following orders turns us into robots. To influence life around us, like Steve Jobs did, we have to do much more than we are told to.
EXPLORE COLLEGE BEYOND
COLLEGE CLASSES
College is an amazing experience. And, as most students would agree, classes are not necessarily the best part of it. Experimenting with all college has to offer beyond classes, such as joining student clubs, looking for professional opportunities and enjoying the social life, is a great way to live beyond academics.
This entire story reminds me of an old Brazilian piece of advice I have heard from my dad since I was a little bit. It states that "what we take from life (to afterlife, if you are into that) is the kind of life we undertake." The saying essentially means that the only really important thing in life is how we decide to live it.
The result is powerful when we pair Steve Jobs' advice to the Brazilian saying: It does not matter what we are told to do, or how people think our life is supposed to be like. There is no need to follow the norms, or do as we are told. We have the power to mold life, in whatever way we desire to, and there is no better way to live.

SOCIAL
Take the time to meet your neighbors
By Noah Ottinger nottinger@kansan.com
We, as humans, are social beings. We thrive on the conversation and the camaraderie that our friends and neighbors provide. Those baristas who make you your decaf-soy-whatever: you need them. Your classmates in the local gym's kick boxing class: you need them. Your fellow bar flies at the tavern down the street: you definitely need them.
Now the question is, do you have that?
With the rise of the suburbs in the post-WWII era, America saw a fall of the community. Most of the neighborhood meeting places: the mom and pop shops, the local restaurants, cafs', bars were swallowed up by the miles of sprawl. What eventually replaced these little gems were the generic hubs like CVS, Perkins, and Starbucks. What replaced our next-door-neighbors were our Facebook friends.
Mr. Rogers preached being neighborly to many of us as
young viewers, but have we really taken that to heart? How many of us know the guy next door who plays the cello? Or who knows the cat lady across the street? I fear that we may have become too closed off from our neighbors, and allowed suburbia to become too vast and social media to replace true friendship.
People need to see and interact with others for healthy lives. However, the opportunity for socializing depends highly on the venue. In his book, "The Great Good Place," Ray Oldenburg describes the perfect middle ground between home and work.
He writes, "In order for the city and its neighborhoods to offer the rich and varied association that is their promise and their potential, there must be neutral ground upon which people may gather." This neutral ground that Oldenburg coins the "third place", offers visitors a place to come and go as they please, and eases the pressure that some might have when hosting a party at their own home.
In these days of Facebook, Starbucks, and fast food chains, there might be little room left for the third place. We seem to live in a much busier, higher-energy society than before. Such stressful lifestyles hardly allow much room for the lazy yet playful conversation that one might have seen in "Cheers."
With the school year starting and homework beginning to pile up, it is important to keep oneself grounded. Don't let Facebook distract you from actual human interaction, and don't let the easiness of Taco Bell tempt you away from the great food that Lawrence has to offer.
To combat these trends, join a student club or give you and your friends a comfortable place to meet and hangout (a restaurant, a cafe, etc.), and then make this a tradition. Seeing more of your friends without the scope of a profile picture is a lot nicer. I promise you. And please, introduce yourself to your neighbor.

Lawrence Police Officer Mike McAtee assists juniors Lilly Maggiortrott, left, and Kathryn Langhofer, right, with a self-defense tactic. McAtee, who has more than 20 years of experience in law enforcement, taught a free self-defense class held at PUNCH Boxing + Fitness last Saturday.
Although only women took the class, Heleniak said men need to be just as prepared to defend themselves as women. He said one of his male employees was mugged on his way home from work.
"Men have bigger egos," Heleniak said. "It's all right to not know something; you just have to admit it. You need to learn. You need to make sure you're safe."
Gates said that she participated in the class partially because of her experience being assaulted, but also to learn what more she could do to protect herself. Luckily for her, when she and her friend were attacked walking home that night, they were able to fight their assailants until two passersby intervened. They escaped that night by what she called "random chance," but not every victim is as fortunate.
McAtee ended the class by playing the surveillance video of the abduction of Kelsey Smith. Smith was an Overland Park teen who was taken from the parking lot of a Target store and murdered later that evening.
One woman asked how Smith's abductor was able to force her into a car in the middle of the day in such a highly trafficked area.
"I don't think she had a plan," McAtee replied. "What is your
plan going to be?"
Heleniak said PUNCH Boxing + Fitness plans to hold self-defense classes about every two months. Both he and McAtee, however, teach weekly boxing classes at their Lawrence location. McAtee teaches class Mondays at 5:30 a.m. and Saturdays at 8:15 a.m. Heleniak teaches Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m.

Shawn Lewis leaned against the corral paneling of the indoor arena talking with fellow horsemen about the unique traits of a breed that took over his life. He watched the horses in front of him, fresh from the range, with rapt attention and a pride that only Mustang owners can describe.

Lewis, who co-founded the sanctuary one year ago, is a retired engineer. At the sanctuary, the training process begins with 90 days of training. After the horse completes that training, Lewis pairs horses with owners based on the characteristics of both. Once a match is made, Lewis requires owners to go through a 20-hour training session.
Lewis, owner of the Legendary Mustang Sanctuary in Illinois, trains horses for private ownership. He and his wife Kathy drove five hours from Alhambra, III., to this weekends U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management National Wild Horse and Burro Program adoption event at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Although training the horses is the goal, maintaining the heritage of the American Mustang gives that goal a larger purpose.
O
"Once you bond with a Mustang and they give you their heart and choose you as their leader, you better be ready to step up, because it's a lot like raising a child," Lewis said.
Dexter Hedrick, director of the Hutchinson Correctional Facility Wild Horse and Burro Program, understands the love affair with the Mustang. The program matches 12 to 15 inmates with Mustangs for training and later adoption by private owners. Hedrick has seen firsthand how the animals bond with convicted criminals.
Shawn Lewis planned to leave Lawrence with at least two new members of the Legendary Mustang stable. As a member of the BLM's Trainer Incentive Program that promotes Mustang training facilities in many different regions of the country, the Lewises continue to promote the breed that provides their inspiration. The Trainer Incentive Program provides homes for the horses that don't get adopted at adoption events.
"They're different because they value family and relationships a little more," Branham said. "They're struggling to survive out in the wild. I believe we need to have some in the wild, but they're struggling. They're surviving. They're looking for their meals, water and shelter, but they're also looking for a relationship, and I want to show with the right training these animals can make great partners."
"It isn't, Oh, this is just another horse." Lewis said. "This is my Mustang,' and they're proud of their Mustang."
With Mustangs, the relationship between owner and animal is unique. Cindy Branham, certified horse trainer and clinician from Topeka, trains several Mustangs for adoption.
With the wild horse population doubling every four years, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is hosting 40 events this year in locations throughout the country. When the Wild Horse and Burro Program determines that public lands cannot support the number of animals, horses are removed from the range for adoption. The horses that don't get adopted are returned to the nearest BLM holding center to be adopted at a later event.
around animals," Hedrick said. "These guys are learning how to build relationships with the animals, and this is directly transferable from the animals to people. They're learning a lot in life that they may have not experienced before. They have something to care about that cares about them."
"Mustangs are all we work with." Lewis said. "So far we've successfully placed 12 horses. Everyone we've worked with is in love with their Mustangs."
— Edited by Emma McElhaney
"Most of the guys that come to work for us have never been
"A lot of people have the misunderstanding that this event is a rescue," said Paul McGuire, U.S. Bureau of Land Management
For Lewis, the rewards of adopting a Mustang outweigh those of owning a standard breed.
The BLM brought more than 50 horses from across the western U.S. to the event in Lawrence. Adoption candidates are vetted thoroughly by the agency. Requirements for adoption include being 18 years old with no record of animal abuse, the ability to provide a 400-square-foot corral with access to food, water and shelter. The adoption fee is $125.
McGuire said the nationwide program is ongoing and aims to prevent the overgrazing and damage of public lands.
Public Affairs Specialist, "We don't have a situation where there's a shortage of horses or the horses are in peril. The issue is one of management."
THE HORSE OF THE WEEK

Two Mustangs roam the pastures of the Legendary Mustang Sanctuary in Alhambra, III. Shawn Lewis, owner of the sanctuary, said that it's very stressful for a captured horse to ride in a trailer for a long time, so he lets them run free on the pasture grounds to let them calm down and get settled.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What year did Armstrong win his first Tour De France?
A: 1999.

THE MORNING BREW Armstrong's doping has wider effects
Renowned cyclist Lance Armstrong issued a statement Thursday evening, Aug. 23, saying he would no longer contest the doping charges facing him from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
"There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, 'Enough is enough.' For me, that time is now," Armstrong said. "I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999."

World Anti-Doping Agency President, John Fahey, said Armstrong no longer contesting charges likens to an admission. "The simple fact is that his refusal to examine the evidence means the charges had substance in them. Under the rules, penalties can now be imposed."
But, does the stripping of titles taint his legacy?
After surviving cancer, Armstrong rocketed to the top of his sport. It was a miracle story. However, there may have been some steroids used to help that miracle. The judgment is up to you, but his inspiration to many may lose a little luster after Thursday's doping allegations. Armstrong
courageously fought cancer that should have beaten him, and that should be his legacy to the cancer community.
The sport of cycling was forever changed by his repeated dominance in the Tour de France, a race that is considered the Super Bowl of the cycling world. Cycling captured worldwide attention and gained interest as Armstrong powered through the Pyrenees Mountains in southern France year after year to claim his seven Tour de France titles. Now stripped of his Tour wins and banned from the sport, cycling loses its biggest name.
However, his impact extends beyond the
sport. Armstrong is a prominent figure in the battle against cancer and the face of the his own foundation, LIVESTRONG. The LIVESTRONG foundation works to unite, inspire, and empower people affected by cancer. And after the recent doping charges, many thought donations would take a hit. But, oddly that was not the case.
In wake of Thursday's shocking news, Friday donations to LIVESTRONG totaled to more than $75,000. An amount much greater than the $3,200 donated Thursday. While the donations may have survived, the reputation may suffer in the coming days.
Some may remember the Mizzou project, the construction of Paige Sports Arena. Originally named after the granddaughter of Bud Walton, co-founder of Wal-Mart, the name was later changed after she was accused of cheating her way through college at the University of Southern California.
Could a similar fate be in store for Sporting KC's LIVESTRONG Sporting Park? While it is a wonderful sports venue, some question the integrity of letting the stadium name remain. It will be up to moral judgment to determine if we view
KU
LIVESTRONG as a beneficial cancer foundation or a group led by a man accused of cheating his way to fame and success.
Tough questions will be asked and difficult conversations will take place, but Lance Armstrong's impact on the world goes unquestioned.
Armstrong is a courageous cancer survivor and an inspiration for many. His work with LIVESTRONG has benefited countless lives. I think it's best we take the attention off his cycling career and focus it on his positive impact on the cancer community.

Sporting KC loses Bunbury to injury
The team announced the extent of the injury Monday, one day after Bunbury was hurt while leaping to make a pass to Kei Kamara for Sporting KC's only goal of the game. Bunbury crashed to the turf
KANSAS CITY, Kan.
sporting Kansas City will have to chase an Eastern Conference championship without forward Teal Bunbury, who will miss the remainder of the season after tearing ligaments in his left knee during a draw with the New York Red Bulls.
and held his knee, but played several more minutes before he was substituted out.
The team initially called the injury a sprain, but coach Peter Vermes said that Bunbury would undergo an MRI exam on Monday. That's when the extent of the injury was revealed.
Bunbury tore the ACL and damaged the LCL in his knee. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Scott Luallin is scheduled to perform surgery on Friday, and Bunbury is expected to miss six to eight months.
"The injury is extremely unfortunate, but Teal has a great attitude and he will be back stronger than ever," Vermes said in a statement issued by the team.
Bunbury is a big reason why Sporting KC (14-7-5) leads the East by two points over the Red Bulls with eight games remaining in the regular season.
The former fourth overall draft pick is tied with C.J. Sapong for second on the team with five goals, and he also has one assist in 22 regular season games. He trails only Kamara, the team's leading scorer, and Graham Zusi for the most shots on goal.
Bunbury led Sporting KC with 11 goals in MLS competition last season.
The knee injury will also rule Bunbury out of potential international duty. He debursted for the U.S. men's national team in November 2010, and has played several games since, assisting on Zusil's winning goal in a game against Panama in January.
The U.S. resumes World Cup qualifying at Jamaica on Sept. 7, and is scheduled to play at Sporting KC's Livestrong Sporting Park against Guatemala on Oct. 16.

COMMENTARY
KU sports more than basketball
Sports fans are constantly checking these two teams on the Internet throughout the average day for the latest news and updates.
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
Paying attention to football and men's basketball is easy for this campus.
These two sports get most of our attention, but there are two other sports in season already that are playing well, and you have a chance to see them live for an extended period of time.
The soccer team just finished an impressive weekend where it knocked off Georgia and UNLV to win the Jayhawk Invitational, and improved their record to 3-1.
Soccer and volleyball are both off to impressive starts.
The Georgia win was huge for the team considering the Bulldogs knocked the Jayhawks out of the NCAA Tournament last November.
It was a big step for Kansas after an early season loss to Northwestern, but now they seem to be gaining some positive momentum.
Although the crowds aren't as big as Memorial Stadium or Allen Fieldhouse, the passion is still there from the players and the fans that are there in support.
So before you pile on your touch to watch some football this weekend, or check out Charlie Weis and the new-look football team, remember there are other great athletes right in our own backyard.
The lajahwaks know this is a crucial part of their schedule. Very few teams get 10 straight home games to start a season, and the team wants to take advantage of every one to stack up some victories. Especially when the teeth of the Big 12 road schedule comes calling.
Edited b-y Andrew Ruszczyk
We've all been anxiously awaiting the start to the football season, but remember there are other sports that will have a chance to make a run at NCAA tournament berths this season as well.
Like the soccer team, volleyball has a golden opportunity at home early in the year. With seven straight home matches, it's the perfect time to capitalize on the momentum built up from last weekends performance.
Volleyball had a solid start to the season in Fayetteville, Ark., last weekend winning the first seven sets they played. However, the home team Arkansas Razorbacks proved to be too much to overcome in the end.
In college soccer, there's a lot of training and a lot of preparation, but only a few chances to capitalize on all of those factors.
the same can be for the volleyball team. This group of girls has a loyal following of dozens of students and hundreds of locals. Horseji Family Athletics Center is not the biggest venue on campus, but it has a passionate fanbase who makes a lot of noise in the 1:300-seat arena.
With the combination of experience, a push of youthful attackers and some incredible depth, this team has a chance to open some eyes around campus.

READY TO TACKLE Hawkinson eager to start season with new coaches

Oklahoma State's senior defensive end Jamie Blatnick gets tackled by KU offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson after intercepting KU quarterback Jordan Webb's pass at the line of scrimmage.
When former Kansas coach Turner Gill was relieved of his duties following the regular season finale, players were unsure of what the future had in store for not only the program, but also themselves.
For Tanner Hawkinson, senior offensive tackle and captain, he was eager, but also nervous to find out who would

Hawkinson
carry on as the new coach of the lavhawks.
When Charlie Weis was named coach in December, Hawkinson and his teammates were optimistic and motivated for the upcoming season.
"I'm pretty sure all of the players were following the coaching search pretty closely for a couple of weeks," Hawkinson said. "His name never really came up and when it did and he got hired, everybody got really excited because everyone knew what he was about."
Hawkinson said he is excited to have the rare opportunity to play for Weis and also be under the guidance of a strong offensive line coach, Tim Grunhard. Playing under a strong coaching staff, Hawkinson said he feels that Weis has assembled a team will help turn the football program around for the 2012 season.
"When he got in and when some of the other coaches got hired, we knew we had the coaches in place." Hawkinson
said. "We knew that they were going to put us in a good position to win."
Grunhard brings 11 years of professional playing experience with the Kansas City Chiefs where he started 155 games and earned one Pro Bowl honor. Following his playing career, Grunhard was named the head coach of Bishop Miege High School for six years. There he led the Stags to five consecutive district titles and helped them win the 2009 4A state title.
Grunhard is now taking his coaching career to the college level as an offensive line coach, and Hawkinson knows he is improving with Grunhard as his position coach.
"I think I've improved in many facets of the game," Hawkinson said.
He said moving over to the left side has turned him into a better blocker overall.
Hawkinson is taking in Grunard's advice to better prepare himself before the season opener.
Grunhard could not have asked for a better group of offensive linemen in his first year with his new gig. Having Hawkinson as the leader of the line makes Grunhard's job easier, and he is looking forward to seeing him play on Saturdays.
I think he is another guy that is ready to go and play," Grunhard said. "We put in the work in the winter. We put in the work in the spring. It's been a long, hot summer. Now let's Gon play football. I think Tanner feels that."

be ready on game day and it is up to the players on the field to play hard and do what it takes to win.
Hawkinson is feeling good about all of the hard work that has been put in the off-season because of the new coaching staff. He said the coaches will

Bowlsby ready to right the Big 12

Bob Bowley is here to right the Big 12 ship after two years of sailing in turbulent waters. Over the past two years the conference saw four of its founding schools leave to join other conferences. Other member schools took wandering glances at other conferences and it seemed that the Big 12 conference was close to dismantling itself,
The conference stabilized by replacing former commissioner Dan Beebe with interim commissioner Chuck Neins and adding two strong football programs in Texas Christian University and West Virginia. And then last spring the conference brought in Bowlys, former Stanford athletic director, as the permanent Big 12 commissioner.
In this July 13, 2012, file photo, Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby speaks during the NCAA college football Big 12 Media Davs in Dallas.
Bowlsbay said he is aware that some people may feel uncertain about the future of the Big 12 because of the events of the past two years.
"I think everyone is forward looking, everyone is mutually committed." Bowlsy said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bowlsy's first task is negotiating a new television deal — something that he's done in the past as an athletic director in the Pac-12 and Big Ten conferences, but this time
He said he came into the job with some apprehension, but he found a conference that was much more stable and unified than many people thought.
around his role in negotiating has expanded.
Although the deal is not yet signed, Bowsby is full of optimism.
"The exposure for our football programs, for our men's and women's basketball and for the Olympic sports will be unprecedented," Bowlsy said.
When the first round of schools decided to leave the Big 12 in the summer of 2010, the Big 12 institutions rallied the wagons. They defended their decision not to expand the conference by singing the praises of a 10-team conference — where every team plays each other in a round-robin football schedule, and a double round-robin basketball schedule.
The new schedule led to eight of the ten members being invited to a bowl game last season.
Bowlby compared the new conference schedule to those in conferences that grew over the last two years. He said he's sure that those conferences are wondering if the expansion was really worth it because it makes scheduling more complicated.
"In the ACC and the SEC, there are some institutions that have had hundred year histories of playing each other that aren't going to be playing each other every year," Bowlsby said. "I think the reality of that and the reality of the larger number have kind of sunk in."
After Texas A&M and Missouri left the Big 12, the conference could
not feasibly remain a BGS conference without taking in new blood. So they welcomed TCU and West Virginia to the family.
But even though they stay persistent in the strengths having a 10-team conference gives them, the rumors of expansion still swirl around
the ever unsettled college football landscape.
"Will we continue to keep expansion on our horizon, in our dashboard? Sure we will, we have to," Bowlsby said. "It gets talked about at every conference meeting in every conference and we'll have to talk
about it too, but I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with 10, and I think it's going to be a very high bar if we going to take anybody else in."

SOCIAL INSECURITY
WEKNOWYOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
Obtaining a social security number may be as simple as a pattern.
Earl Glynn, a researcher for Watchdog Labs, said that for Kansans born between 1989 and 2011, he can accurately guess the first five or six digits of someone's Social Security number.
"It's so easy to find someone's birthday online," Glynn said. "A scary part is that if you really wanted to, once you have the first five or six, you can get the others through guess and check."
Glynn said he found the pattern after buying a copy of the SocialSecurity Administration's Death Master File, which has nearly 90 million names, Social Security numbers, date of birth and state of residence of the deceased.
He created the pattern by making a chart comparing
Kansans' Social Security numbers with their birthdays.
"Basically what I've done is found the Socials of people that are living through people that are dead," Glynn said.
Kansas Watchdog reported that anyone can purchase the file for $1,825.
Using the chart provided to The University Daily Kansan by Kansas Watchdog, University students tested their own Social Security numbers and discovered they were no exception to the pattern.
"It's a little concerning that it's so easy to break down, especially by your birthday," said Laci Colvin, a senior from Topeka. "It's so common and easy to get. You put it on social media and then anyone can have it."
Jane Rosenthal, the director of the KU Privacy Office, said it's important for students to realize they are just as at risk as anybody for identity theft.
"There will always be threats to our identity and private information as long as someone sees a financial gain for using it," Rosenthal said.
Rosenthal said she had heard that Social Security numbers could be obtained through a pattern, but stopping people from obtaining the pattern wouldn't solve the problem.
"The main issue is whether you are paying attention to your records and credit so that you are aware if it occurs," Rosenthal said.
According to 2011 data from the KU Office of Institutional Research and Planning, 18,930 Kansans attended the University. Other data showed that 15,918 University 3students are 23 years old or younger.
Glynn said the pattern works for students of that age because up until 2011, states issued Social Security numbers systematically by date of birth.

Students' designs win award
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
Last year, the junior design student from Olathe drafted a design for the KU Office of Public Safety's police cars. The office was receiving a new fleet of Dodge Chargers.
"It was kind of ironic, actually," Meier said. "I love fast cars and going fast, and there I was designing a cop car."
Andrew Meier has an affinity for swanky-looking speedsters.
Meier's design was selected and combined with George Ressler's, another University student at
The University of Kansas Police Department asked Jeremy Shellhorn, associate professor of design, if any of his students could contribute their drafts for the design contest.

Lawrence campus.
The judges favored Meier's design above the 17 other entries in the category.
"Part of our job is to connect with our community and with our students, and it's hard to do
because there are a lot of departments and entities on campus vying for their attention," Oliver sald. "Our service is more in the area of trying to educate our students in personal safety and the types of services that the public safety office supplies."
Neither KUPD nor the student designers received prizes for winning the category, but that doesn't bother Meier.
"I'm a car nerd." Meier said. "It's awesome just to see it driving around, but knowing that it won the contest is just cool for the bragging rights."

The ARC, or Academic Resource Center, in the Templin Residence Hall has been renovated into a classroom to accommodate more classes. Other ARCs in student housing have been cut.
ARCs updated for students
NIKKI WENTLING
nwentling@kansan.com
"We were finding it difficult to effectively maintain non-production printers in these fairly high-use environments," wrote Diana Robertson, director of student housing, in an email. "There are several goals associated with this decision, the most important of which is to provide students with increased service levels."
Residents of Oliver, Gertrude Sellards Pearson (GSP) and Templin may have noticed something missing from the Academic Resource Centers (ARCs) when they returned to campus this semester.
The old printers were removed and new production printers were installed in the residence hall lobbies. Production printers have the capability to serve as a printer, copier, scanner and fax machine. They provide options like making color copies, two-sided printing and collating, all features that were unavailable before.
Students living in any residence hall, scholarship halls or Jayhawker Towers are required to provide their own paper to use the ARC printers. Now, residents of Oliver,
"I pretty much used all of my free printing." Her said. "It's hard on money; not everyone can afford it. I just wish that Oliver would have free printing again."
Her said she thinks the University should increase the budget for free printing for residents in Oliver, GSP and Templin in order to offset the newly enacted fee.
GSP and Templin must also pay a fee per page. For colored printing, the fee is 48 cents per page, and the charge for black-and-white printing is 8 cents per page.
However, Robertson said that any savings from reducing the number of non-production printers in those dorms has been invested in updating computers in the ARCs, which Robertson said would be replaced on a two-year cycle.
Ashley Her, a junior from Wichita, returned to Oliver for a second year. Since the beginning of the semester, she has used $6 of her $8 allotted for free printing.

This semester, all ARCs are equipped with new Dell 990s. Also, a 60-inch LCD was installed in GSP for instructional use, and Templin will receive a 60-inch screen with SMART interactive overlay.
STUDENT SENATE
Student Senate will offer five freshmen an opportunity to get involved early in working on campus initiatives. Ballots will be posted on the KU website on Tuesday, Sept. 4 and Wednesday, Sept. 5. Freshmen interested in running must turn in a declaration of candidacy today, along with the required petition of 50 student signatures. Also, a mandatory meeting for all candidates will be held today in Alderson Auditorium at 5 p.m. This will give them an opportunity to meet each other and go over the rules of the election before campaigning begins.
Unlike other senate positions, freshman candidates are not selected based on their professional school or housing location. "You can be in any school or college; just as long as you're a freshman, you can run," said Student Senate chief of staff Thomas Plummer. "Usually we get about 20 to 25 people who run. It's pretty hefty for freshman."
Candidates can start campaigning as soon as they turn in the required paperwork. Students can expect to see chalking, fliers and creative promotions over the next week. Another alternative for freshmen involves interming with the Jayhawk Leadership, Education and Development Program (JayLEAD). The 12 students selected will work with the Senate Executive Staff by helping with several tasks including researching and drafting legislation, and working with campus administrators. "That's what I did as a freshman, and I thought it was phonomenal," Plummer said. Applications are due Wednesday, Sept. 12, giving students who don't receive a position in Senate an opportunity to run for JayLEAD instead.
Returning students can run as replacement senators. Several openings are available for graduate students. The deadline for applications is Friday, Sept. 14, and must be turned in to the Student Senate Office in the Kansas Union.

Republicans OK party platform at convention
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Republicans emphatically approved a toughly worded party platform at their national convention Tuesday that would ban all abortions and gay marriages, reshape Medicare into a voucher-like program and reject federal spending as an antidote for the nation's ailing job market.
The document opens by warning that while the American Dream has long been of equal opportunity for everyone, "Today that American Dream is at risk."
It pledges that the GOP will "begin anew, with profound changes in the way government operates; the way it budgets, taxes and regulates."
Even so, a poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center found more people interested in the GOP platform than in the upcoming acceptance speeches by presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan.
The survey found that 52 percent said they were interested in learning about the Republican platform, compared to 44 percent
interested in Romney's speech and 46 percent interested in Ryan's.
Here are key elements of the Republican platform:
JOB CREATION:
It states that the best jobs program is economic growth. "We do not offer yet another made-in-Washington package of subsidies and spending to create temporary or artificial jobs."
SMALL BUSINESS:
The GOP pledges to reform the tax code to make it easier for businesses to generate more capital and create more jobs.
TAXES:
"We reject the use of taxation to redistribute income, fund unnecessary or ineffective programs or foster the crony capitalism that corrupts both politicians and corporations."
It says the party would strive to eliminate taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains altogether for lower- and middle-income
It says a Republican administration would extend the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, pending reform of the tax code.
taxpayers. It also would work to repeal the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax.
MARRIAGE:
The platform affirms the rights of states and the federal government not to recognize same-sex marriage. It backs a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
VOTER INTEGRITY:
"Voter fraud is a political poison," the platform says.
It praises legislation to require photo identification for voting and to prevent election fraud.
GUN CONTROL:
The party says it opposes legislation intended to restrict Second Amendment rights by limiting the capacity of clips or magazines or otherwise restoring the assault weapons ban passed during the Clinton presidency.
ABORTION:
The party states that "the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed."

Afandi killed, tension persists
MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) — Thousands of mourners converged on a cemetery in Russia's republic of Dagestan on Tuesday night for the burial of a top Muslim religious leader who was killed in a suicide bombing hours earlier. Russian news agencies said.
Said Afandi, a leader of Sufi Muslims in the region, and five of his followers were killed by a female suicide bomber in an attack at Afandi's home in the village of Chirkei, said Dagestan Interior Ministry spokesman, Vyachelav Gasanov.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility or identification of the bomber, but the attack could be linked to tensions between Sufis and the Wahhabi sect that is the core of the insurgency in the republic. Afandi was a frequent public critic of Wahhabism.
In July, a top Muslim cleric in the Volga River republic of Tatarstan was gunned down and the republic's chief mufti was wounded when a bomb ripped through his car. Both victims had been vocal critics of radical groups that advocate a strict and puritan version of Islam known as Salafism.
In a visit to Tatarstan on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin presented state awards to the wounded mufti, Ildus Faizov, and relatives of the slain cleric Valiullah Yakunov.
Putin called for interethnic harmony and said of extremists:
attacks on police occur almost daily in Dagestan.
Also Tuesday in Dagestan, a border guard opened fire on colleagues at a barracks, killing seven before being shot to death himself, Gasanov said. There was no indication of motivation.
The Interfax and RIA Novosti news agencies said witnesses reported tens of thousands of mourners came to Afandi's burial.
"You cannot defeat a unified, multinational, strong Russian nation because on the side of truth and justice are millions of people who fear nothing, who cannot be intimidated and know the price of peace."
The killing of Afandi highlighted the violent tensions that persist in Dagestan, even as neighboring Chechnya has become relatively pacified and orderly after two wars in the last 20 years between separatists and Russian forces.
AFRICA
Clashes with militants and
Riots continue in Mombasa
MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) — Rioting in Kenya's second-largest city over the killing of a radical Islamic cleric extended into a second day Tuesday as police fought running battles with youths and one man died when a grenade was hurled into a truck carrying security forces.
Adoli said police were forced to keep violent protests from spreading after they led on Monday to the death of one person and the vandalism of two Christian churches and businesses.
Several people were seriously injured in Tuesday's clashes in Mombasa, police and human rights officials said.
The rioting was in response to the killing Monday of Aboud Rogo Mohammed, a man linked to a terrorist group by Washington who was shot to death as he drove in his car with his family. Human rights groups say the killing fits a pattern of extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances of suspected terrorists that are allegedly being orchestrated by Kenyan police. But police Commissioner Matthew Iteere said that no police officers were involved in Mohammed's death.
A prison guard was killed when a hand grenade was hurled into a truck carrying security forces sent to quell the riots, said regional police chief Aggrey Adoli. At least 13 police and security officials were seriously wounded, he said.
It has brought to the surface tensions in this port city established centuries ago by Muslim traders from the Arabian peninsula, now home to hundreds of thousands of people of Arab descent and a large Somali population.
"We are trying to contain them so that we don't create more deaths. Deaths and destruction of property will not help with anything." Adoli
said.
Hussein Khalid of the Muslim for Human Rights group said police were using tear gas against stone-throwing protesters. Khalid said one person was stabbed and hospitalized on Tuesday. Police have asked Muslim elders and religious leaders to urge the young protesters to stop the violence, Adolli said.
The violence prompted Australia to issue an advisory asking its citizens in Mombasa to avoid public gatherings and monitor the media, saying the civil unrest is likely to continue: "We continue to advise Australians to exercise a high degree of caution in Kenya overall at this time due to the high risk of terrorist attack, civil unrest and high crime levels in the country."
Keriako Tobiko, Kenya's Director of Public Prosecutions, has formed a team to investigate the murder of Mohammed made up of members of the police, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Lawyers Society of Kenya and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority.
The team is expected to "conduct comprehensive, independent and expeditious investigation into the murder with a view of apprehending and bringing to justice the perpetrators of the crime," Keriako said. It is expected to finish its work in 14 days.
Mohammed was recently sanctioned by the U.S. government and the U.N. for his alleged connection to an al-Qaida-linked Somali militant group, Al-Shabab. He is the fifth alleged Muslim extremist who has been killed or who disappeared in the last four months, according to human rights campaigners. One corpse was found mutilated and the other four men vanished.
Mohammed was shot dead as he drove with his family in Mombasa. His wife was wounded in the leg, and Mohammed's father and 5-year-old daughter, who were also in the car, weren't injured.

Following close on Winfrey's heels is Michael Bay. Thanks to "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" $1.1 billion in box office worldwide (and Bay's great deal for that film) as well as a cut of all Transformers toy sales, Bay took in an estimated $160 million last year.

'Keep Lawrence weird' phenomenon
One of the things I love most about Lawrence is its eccentricity. It's a true college town, complete with t-shirt shops, late night pizza deliveries and local dive bars. But at the same time, Lawrence is a highly unique, liberal, hole-in-the-wall town where residents are just as likely to sport a full Uncle Sam costume as jeans and Sperrys.
A Lawrence gem I recently discovered was the "Keep Lawrence Weird" campaign. Though I know firsthand that Texas diehards find it a far cry from their own "Keep Austin Weird," this Kansas girl loves living in a place that so fully embraces its non conformity.
The "Keep Lawrence Weird" phenomenon has its own T-shirts, Tumblr website and a mention in the Lawrence Journal-World, but
I am just as guilty of this at anyone. I've already professed my love for Lawrence oddities, but when my friends and I are hungry, we debate over McDonalds or Chipotle, not Biggs BBQ or Local Burger. When we shop, we head to Gap or Urban Outfitters, not Shark's Surf Shop or Wildman Vintage. We when were bored, we hit up Hollywood Theatres or Redbox, not Liberty Hall or the Brits store's British movie rentals.
I've found that, unfortunately, the slogan is sometimes present in words only.

Don't get me wrong; anyone who knows me understands I enjoy McNuggets, Gap sales and Mad Men more than is probably healthy. But one of the great things about living in a town like Lawrence is the opportunity to explore events, restaurants and
shops that are decidedly local.
It's not always the most convenient, and it will likely cost more than a trip to somewhere more mainstream, but exploring some of the nooks and crannies of this city can be much more satisfying – and potentially eye-opening – than an umpteenth trip to your favorite chain store or restaurant.
Not all Lawrence originals are neglected, however. Certain establishments can boast great
popularity as well as local roots. I rarely wait less than an hour for a late night Pyramid Pizza delivery, and local pubs like 23rd Street Brewery and Free State Breweries are always hopping. Many students make it a point to visit Jefferson's with its famous dollar bill wall décor. Others, such as Zen Zero and Pachamamas, can be relatively obscure.
Lawrence's many unusual events, however, are even less frequented than the local stores and restaurants. For instance, Lawrence features an outdoor labyrinth for meditation; "Scary Larry Kansas bike polo," free Argentine tango classes and a knitting group called "Stitch N' Bitch." And that's in just the next seven days.
So, if your closest encounter with the Java Break coffee shop was through your car window
(they're open 24 hours and have a cereal bar; what are you waiting for? or you've never seen the stray cat that permanently resides in The Dusty Bookshelf (the original store was in Manhattan, but we'll let that slide), you're missing out.
And if you happened to find yourself in the middle of the downtown Busker Festival of magicians, gymmasts, and general freaks, don't be alarmed. Rather, sit back and enjoy the quirks of a place that most only experience for four years. Oh, and try not to bump into the sword swallower, will you?

'Breaking Bad' plot careening to a close
Editor's note: This column may contain spoilers
What is Walt's master plan regarding the stolen methylamine? Will the growing conflict between Mike and Walt result in a good old-fashioned western duel? These questions and many more are at the center of the saga that is AMC's hit show "Breaking Bad." There is little doubt that Vince Gilligan's story about a chemistry teacher turned methamphetamine dealer will finish strong in this fifth and final season.
By Stéphane Rogue
sroque@kansan.com
The August 19 episode, appropriately titled "Buyout", took viewers down an uncomfortable path with the show's biggest players. Jesse appears to have evolved into a caring and empathic character, a drastic change from where he started in season one. Jesse's newfound compassion for people, especially children, appears to have created a divide between he and Walt. It's as if Walt and Jesse have completely swapped personalities over the course of the show, with Walt becoming more selfish and indulgent while Jesse shows a softer and more humane side.
With "Buyout," Gilligan gave his viewers an eerie look (with this show, that's saying something) into how refined Walt has
become in disposing of people/things that need to be disposed of in order to secure his drug empire. Always the chemist, Walt has now perfected the art of using hydrofluoric acid in a polyethylene bin to turn evidential liabilities into slush. Disgusting and appalling? It sure is, but with Walt there are no loose ends, hence why he's made it as far in the business as he has. Unfortunately for Jesse and Walt, the latest form of chemical disincorpractory deals with a 14-year-old boy who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The progressive loss of life takes a serious toll on Jesse, and the final straw was listening to the nonchalant whistling of Walt while he prepares to make the next batch of meth. Now Jesse and Mike want out of the business, but Walt isn't budging. Now it become a chess game between Walt and Mike, with Jesse sitting back and letting the big boys duke it out for the final say. At the center of this feud is 1,000 gallons of methylamine, worth an estimated $15 million street value as we discover in Mike's dealings with a few unsavory characters. Between Walt's smarts and Mike's toughness, it's difficult to dissect how this situation will diffuse itself. The average "Breaking Bad" viewer would assume that one of these men has to go, but with these two characters something bigger might be in play here.
The unpredictability of the drug dealing business is paralleled to the unpredictability of "Breaking Bad's" plot-line over the course of the next few months until the series concludes. Gilligan is doing an excellent job of keeping viewers on the edge of their seats while continuing an intricate and complex tale that seemed to simple and stress-free in season one. With each Sunday that passes we get that much closer to the final chapter, one that promises to deliver an emphatic ending to a once-in-a-lifetime story.

Sororities hold key to saving the world
@pearsonaaronj
By AJ Barbosa
abarbosa@kansan.com
Well, let me rephrase that: I think that the whole sorority recruitment process could save the planet. I've lived in a fraternity for over two years and I've always marveled at how different the pledge process is for men and women. Things differ with each fraternity - some have it tougher than others at first - but you won't find a single fraternity in the nation that gives its new members gifts adorned with the house's letters every freaking day for months. You won't find one that bakes cookies for its pledges. To be honest, I would have been weared out if it worked like that for dudes.
Before you read the next paragraph of this column, I encourage you to swallow anything you may be eating, make sure your coffee has a lid on it and is securely placed in the middle of your desk. I'm about to drop a bold statement that - depending on who you are - will either make you gasp, make you cringe, or make you high-five all the girls sitting around you.
I may be crazy, but I think sorority girls could potentially save the planet.
At some point in history, it became customary for sororites to shower their new members with Vineyard Vines tote bags adorned with house letters and bright pink Nalgene bottles. Older members started spending every waking second complimenting and adoring each new pledge on Facebook. Social chairs started to load each week with functions and "bid day" parties so all the new "babies" could meet all the horny, beer-soaked Greek men. You can't forget to teach the pledges your house's hand-sign, either (some of which could likely be mistaken for gang signs in rougher neighborhoods, so I'd encourage their use only within Lawrence city limits).
@UOK_Opinion heck yes. It saves the environment and makes my bottom happy. #gogreen
I, along with 99.9 percent of all men, couldn't care less that we weren't given pink water bottles
This is all just the tip of the iceberg. Sure, people would probably get a lot more judgmental about petty things such as clothes and shoes, but it's not like that's something we don't already have a problem with. Whether you're in a sorority or you hate sororities, it's hard to deny that the world would be an obnoxiously happier place if we were all treated as sorority pledges. Wed all be smiling cheek-tocheek while singing songs and sharing clothes and twisting our fingers around to form obscure Greek alphabet letters.
and Lily Pulitzer bags. Most of us look back at our pledgeship as the "best time we never want to have again," but if companies and governments throughout the world adopted certain tenets of the average sorority new member process, maybe we could all be as annoyingly cheery and spirited as all the Greek women.
What if, instead of sitting through boring job interviews and printing off hundreds of resumes, we applied for jobs like freshmen girls rush? Instead of bragging about past endeavors just to impress employers, what if they tried to impress us? I'm not a huge fan of singing songs and clapping hands, but if the board of directors broke into song in the middle of my interview, I'd be just as entertained as confused and creeped out.
And wed eat cookies. Lots of warm, chocolate cookies. Show me the problem with that.
Many of us are going to start our lives in different cities after we graduate and not everyone is going to have friends once they get there. That's where serenades come in. There'd be no need for singing songs, dancing and giving out roses, but what would happen if all the companies in your industry took turns renting out a bar during the week and forced its new members into slightly-awkward mingle sessions? If that ever happens, I pray to God there's a Cosmopolitan magazine bureau in my town. I'd be more than happy to "mingle" with their newly-hired sex columnist.

P
Robber turns self in to Topeka police
This image from a surveillance camera, released by the Williston (ND) Police Department, shows Kent Clemens after he allegedly robbed Gate City Bank, in Williston, ND, on July 18. Authorities say Clemens called 911 in Topeka three days later telling officers that he had made a mistake and to arrest him.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BISMARCK, N.D. — Kent Anthony Clemens returned home to Kansas after a short stay in North Dakota's booming oil patch with a stack of crisp $50 bills, sharing what authorities say was ill-gotten booty with his sister.
Then, apparently. guilt set in.
Three days after Clemens allegedly held up a bank in the western North Dakota town of Williston, the 53-year-old called 911 and asked police in his hometown of Topeka, Kan., to arrest him "for making a mistake," according to an FBI affidavit filed in federal court.
and then call 911 in an attack of conscience."
When police arrived at Clemens' home last month, he was sitting on the front porch, "wearing what appeared to be the same blue polo shirt he was wearing when he committed the Gates City Bank robbery," the FBI affidavit said. He "put both of his hands out to police and told them to arrest him for making a mistake" court papers said.
"People have an attack of conscience all the time — like returning stolen items to a store." Topeka Police Chief Ron Miller said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "But it is unusual to rob a bank
Clemens is being held in North Dakota. He appeared in federal court in Bismarck on Aug. 17 and waived his right to a preliminary hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Volk said. Federal public defender Heather Mitchell said no other court hearings have been scheduled.
Neither attorney would comment on specifics of the case.

New office educates on harassment
ERICA STAAB
estaab@kansan.com
When it comes to sexual harassment, what you don't know can still hurt you. Recently, a brand-new office was integrated here on campus to help students and faculty better understand sexual harassment and discrimination.
The Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access is now serving all KU campuses and is currently working on launching an interactive online harassment training.
"On Sept. 4, all faculty, staff and students will be able to log on with their KU IDs and participate in the training," executive director Jane McQueeny said. "The training will only take about 20 minutes."
McQueeny said that studies
show 1 out of 4 women are sexually harassed at some point during their college careers. She said 48 percent of women who have been sexually harassed don't even realize it because they don't know exactly what defines rape or sexual harassment.
"The statistics are very compelling, and that is why KU is taking an active role in helping students understand their rights and responsibilities," McQueeny said.
So do these statistics apply to our campus? It may, McQueney said, because students may not even realize they are being harassed.
"Sexual harassment might be a big deal here on campus because there are a lot of hormonal people," said Cecilia Strunk, a sophomore from Overland Park. "Little things, such as a drunk friend grabbing
someone's butt at party that might not seem like a big deal at the time, could maybe be considered harassment."
All students will be getting an e-mail detailing the specifics of the training and outlining how and when they can participate in the short training session.
The idea of the training is to inform students and give them the knowledge of exactly what sexual harassment is and the repercussions it can have.
"I think the training will be a good thing to get the word out there so people know about sexual harassment," said Jordan Brown a sophomore from Overland Park. "It could have a positive effect on the campus."
Sexual harassment isn't the only thing the new office focusing on.
They are also working hard to make the campus more disability-accessible. Currently, they are working with Coca-Cola to get disability-accessible vending machines installed around campus.
Along with the vending machines, they will work to provide accommodations to students with disabilities in many different areas.
The office is also in charge of discrimination investigations and is already out on the streets doing work, McQueeny said.
"The online training is a really great step on KU's part to ensure a safe campus and educate everyone on his or her rights and responsibilities when it comes to sexual harassment," she said.

COURT
PETA continues state fair lawsuit
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is suing to block the Kansas State Fair from forcing the group to shield fairgears who pass by its booth from images depicting animal slaughter, saying the fair's action violates free speech rights.
PETA filed a federal lawsuit Monday that names the Kansas Fair Board, the state and the fair's general manager, Denny Stoecklein, as defendants. The group also filed a motion Tuesday asking the court to block the restrictions imposed on PETA's booth for this year's fair, which starts Sept. 7.
The American Civil Liberties Union is representing PETA for free along with Kansas City, Mo., law firm Copilevitz & Canter.
PETA has screened a graphic new documentary, "Glass Walls," at state fairs in Colorado and Iowa. It shows animals being slaughtered and instances of animal abuse at factory farms.
Kansas fair organizers say the restrictions will still allow PETA to show graphic images, but fairgoers will have to consciously choose to view them and to look behind partitions shielding the images from the general public.
"Ive never seen anything like this. This is a classic content-based restriction on what the speaker can say, which I think is unconstitutional," said Doug Bonney, legal director for the ACLU Foundation of Kansas and Western Missouri.
Stoecklein referred any comments on the lawsuit to the Kansas attorney general's office.

THE MORNING BREW NHL salary fight dampens offseason buzz
As a die-hard Minnesota Wild fan, this offseason has provided me with excitement I haven't felt in
A
A this offseason has provided me with excitement I haven't felt in years about an upcoming season. The Wild signed the two most coveted free agents on the market, Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, to identical 13-year, $98 million contracts.
However, my enthusiasm about these signings and the upcoming National Hockey League season has been tarnished by the current labor unrest in the NHL. The main factor for the unrest between the owners and the players is player salaries. Players like Ilya Kovalchuk, Alex Ovechkin and Henrik Zetterberg are getting ridiculous contracts up to 17 years long.
Not to say that these athletes aren't quality players, but for the owners and the fans, the length of these contracts is a cause for concern.
By Chris Schaeder
cshaeder@kansan.com
To prevent a possible lockout, the owners want to pay the players less money and get rid of these absurdly long contracts for superstar players.
The talk about reducing pay to the players obviously isn't sitting well with the NHL Players Association, and the growing distance between the two parties is increasing the chances of a lockout this upcoming season. Although the current collective bargaining agreement has seen the NHL go from a $2.1 billion industry to bringing in $3.3 billion annually, the same issues are preventing the league from establishing itself as a consistent factor in the North American sports market.
A lockout would crush the hope and
excitement I have for this upcoming season. The Wild hasn't made the playoffs since the 2007-2008 season, but with the signings of Parise and Suter, and arguably the best group of prospects in the NHL, the future seems bright for the Wild.
At the same time, the contracts given to Parise and Suter this offseason are a significant part of the animosity between the owners and players. As much as I loved the Wild signing these two quality players this summer, it's a bit disheartening to see these signings described as a factor of discourse for the owners.
The NHL, more than any other league, has had these disastrous labor issues during the last decade. The entire 2004-2005 season was canceled because of a lockout, which was devastating to its fans and drastically hurt the popularity of the league among casual fans. That canceled season drove the NHL to change some rules, which has made the game much better than the pre-lockout hockey played before. The
KU
increase in revenue for the league was also a direct result of the NHL improving itself after the lockout.
At this point it remains to be seen whether this year's season will actually begin as scheduled. Ideally, the NHL owners and players will come together and resolve the various issues threatening the upcoming season. An NHL lockout won't affect casual fans, but to a die-hard hockey fan like myself, it would be a crushing blow to the 2012-2013 sports year.

Taylor returns to Lawrence
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Every August for the past four years, former Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor was in Lawrence, starting a new school year and preparing for a run at the Big 12 title in the upcoming basketball season.
"It's a weird feeling" Taylor said. "It feels good to be back. I love Lawrence of course, but to not have my same schedule, coming back, going to school, working out with the team, it feels a little
bit weird."
Now a guard for the Brooklyn Nets, Taylor found himself back in town, except this time he was at the new Dillons on Massachusetts Street, chatting, smiling and posting for pictures with his fans before his return to New Jersey, where he will prepare for his first season in the NBA.
In Brooklyn, Taylor shares a bond with the player Deron Williams, whom he will back-up this season, as both guards played their college career under coach Bill Self, Williams at Illinois and Taylor at Kansas.
When the two first met, Williams asked Taylor how he liked playing for Self. Taylor responded: "I love coach Self, man. He's crazy, but I love him."
Taylor said Williams understood what Taylor was talking about, and the players had a long conversation about Self and the respect the two men share for the coach.
In his four years at Kansas, Taylor earned a reputation as a frequent Twitter user. He uses the social media site to interact with his more than 37,000 followers.
"I use it for fun," Taylor said. "I never take it too serious. I don't try
to get in trouble anymore. I just talk, I'm just myself. I think people get to see us, who they think are super stars, as just being normal people."
As Taylor transitions to life in the NBA, his team is undergoing a transition of its own. The Nets are moving from New Jersey to their new home in Brooklyn this season.
"This is kind of new for them too," Taylor said. "Starting a new organization, everything is starting from scratch, a new arena. Some of the same players, but kind of a whole new team as well. It's cool because I don't feel like I'm going through change by myself, I've got other people going through it with me, so it just helps, makes it a little easier."
Taylor, a Hoboken, N.J. native, grew up watching the Nets in New Jersey. He said it's an interesting
change for the team to move to Brooklyn.
I'm in New York — that's like the mecca of basketball — so I'm excited and just really looking forward to the opportunity," Taylor said.
Although the team is moving to a neighboring state, the practice facility is still located in the Garden State, allowing Taylor to live in Hoboken, a halfway point between where he practices and where he plays.
While Taylor is excited for the chance to play in the new Barclays Center this season, he knows where his true home court will always be.
"There's just no comparing anything to the Fieldhouse," Taylor said. "There's never going to be anything like that."

Former Jayhawk
visits Lawrence
Kansas coach Charlie Weis' greatest asset on the recruiting trail is his connections to the NFL. That will be the key to turning this program around.
Instead, he chose to go to a school that has only won one conference game over the past two seasons. And he did it because of the coach.
Weis and Crist will benefit each other this season. First, Crist will use Weis' offensive game plan, one in which he will run a pro-style offense and get to throw the ball to demonstrate his skills as a quarterback and a leader to NFL scouts.
Then, Crist will use Weis' connections to get himself drafted in April.
Weis will, in turn, use Crist as a model for how he can help recruits enter the NFL. He'll walk into the living rooms of recruits across the nation and flaunt his four Super Bowl rings. His connections will entice them and his tales of coaching Tom Brady will have them chomping at the bit.
Senior quarterback Dayne Crist could've gone to a bowl game this season. Had he chosen to join defending Big Ten champion Wisconsin Badgers, he would've been virtually guaranteed to play in the Poinsettia-Fight The War Against Childhood Obesity Bowl sponsored by a KenTacHut.
He didn't.

Given the quality of the opponents he'll come up against this season, Crist could find his team facing a deficit frequently, which will give him plenty of opportunities to sling the rock around and spark the fire that ignites the program's turnaround.
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com
If Crist wins the games he should, keeps Kansas competitive in their Big 12 games, and sparks an upset here and an almost-upset there, he will draw the attention of NFSC nouts.
But the commitment will be sealed because of the solid evidence offered by Crist.
If Crist succeeds, Weis can point to him and say not only that it happened under his watch, but that it happened under his watch at Kansas.
Crist will be the foundation for future success. And as the stories pile up, the quality of recruits coming into Kansas will continually improve.
And those recruits will lay the groundwork for the future of the program: a future where the Jayhawks are a competitive team on a yearly basis, not just a flash in the pan, with a once-in-a-generation trip to a BCS bow.
Holding the entire fate of a college football program might be a lot to ask of a 22-year-old. But in order to succeed, Crist won't have to win a national championship, because at Kansas the expectations are low. Kansas was picked at Big 12 Media Days to finish in last place in the conference.
He can show them how he got the most out of a very talented quarterback.
BONDED SET
DOUBLE TROUBLE
Twins Amy and Kara Wehrs bring positivity and athleticism to the Jayhawks for a third year
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Identical twins Kara Wehrs, a junior setter on the volleyball team, and Amy Wehrs, an outside hitter and defensive specialist, said people have come up with many ways throughout the years to tell them apart, from a freckle on Amy's chin to Kara's round face.
However, the Hampshire, Ill. natives said those who should know better still have trouble telling them apart at times.
"There was one time in high school where I went up to Kara's boyfriend and gave him a hug, and so he thought it was her," Amy said. "But then he was trying to hold my hand and I was like, 'No, I'm sorry, it's Amy. I'm sorry.'"
Occasional mix-ups aside, the twins insist their personalities are anything but identical.
"I'll joke and laugh and cheer when the time's right, but I'd say I'm more serious, and she's more bubbly" Kara said.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard discovered the twins when they were playing for Club Fusion outside of Chicago during their junior year of high school. He said he liked them because of their high volleyball IQ and versatility on the court.
"Amy always brings that positive attitude," Riley said. "She's always someone I can look at to practice to give me a thumbs-up or keep me going during practice. Kara is more aggressive at practice. She's always there to get me in check, telling me to get my head back in the game."
Junior defensive specialist Branne Riley met the Wehrs in high school when she played for a club volleyball team in the same league as the twins. Riley said that despite their different personalities, Kara and Amy both contribute energy and confidence to the team.

The twins, who live in a house with some of their teammates, said they share the close sister bond that
one might expect between twins. The bond is especially evident when the girls say the same thing simultaneously or end up wearing matching outfits, Amy said.
Like many siblings, the two don't always get along, but use their shared sense of humor to defuse disagreements.
"We'll get mad at each other; we'll have our little sisy fights." Kara said. "We'll say some mean words but literally two seconds later we're over it and we're laughing. Usually our fights end in laughter. We get over things pretty quickly."
The twins also have different roles on the team. Bechard described Kara as the team's quarterback, because she will direct the Jayhawks' offense from the setter position and make many of the offensive decisions. Amy is a multifaceted player who will receive playing time this year at both outside hitter and defensive specialist after being solely an outside hitter last year. Bechard said Amy will be effective for the Jayhawks with her pass, serve and dig, which is why she will transition more to the defensive side of the game this year.
Last season, playing time was a difference between the sisters. Kara started 18 matches at setter in 2011, splitting time with Nicole Tate, who graduated last year. Kara played in 71 sets last season, recording 563 assists and 135 dips.

Amy Wehr (left) and her identical twin, Kara, play on the volleyball team for their third year. However, the dynamic duo play different positions; Kara is the team's setter, and Amy is both an outside hitter and defensive specialist.
Amy, one of seven outside hitters vying for playing time in 2011, appeared in four matches. Kara said that Amy still had a vital role on the team in 2011 because her personality on the bench and in practice helped the team stay calm in tense situations.
"If someone's down," shed pick them up, "Kara said. 'She was always there to tell people what shots to make, where to hit, what spots are open on the court.'

Weis'toughness impresses
Coach Charlie Weis looks over some plays during the spring game at Memorial Stadium in April.

BLAKE SCHUSTER

Six days out of the week, coach Charlie Weis will berate his players. He'll get in their face, in their heads, argue — and ultimately win the argument — push their buttons and coach until his schemes are mastered and substitutions are flawless.
On the seventh day, he'll call the plays with a positive and energetic demeanor.
Weis said that if one of his players made a "boneheaded mistake" — an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, for example — his wrath would return. However, the attitude switch isn't a hoax, or trap, to later punish his players for saying something in a comfortable setting. It's genuine Charlie Weis.
"Most of my yelling on game days is for officials," Weis said. "Because they deserve it."
Despite how intense the Jayhawk's coach can be, the kicking and screaming routine has no place in his Saturday approach.
"I coach them hard in practice so when the time comes, the games are easier." Weis said.
The philosophy is rather simple:
Weis has all week to get his players ready for game day. There's nothing more he can, should or will do once the opening kickoff takes place. So he won't.
Weis will call the offensive plays, encourage his players, pat them on the back, and allow his team to enjoy the game, but raising his voice will depend on the sound level at Memorial Stadium — and the officiating and "bonehead" plays.
"On game day, it's about the players," senior quaterback Dayne Crist said. "It isn't about him yelling at us or trying to get us motivated, because if you're not motivated at that point, there's nothing he can do on the sideline to adjust that."
Crist and senior tight end Mike Ragone have already seen Weis' philosophy first hand during their time at Notre Dame. The result,
Ragone said, is a team in which the players hold themselves accountable on the field and are ready to compete by kickoff.
"It's like letting the dogs out," Ragone said. "He's hard on us, hard on us, hard on us and then on Saturday it's our time to step up."
The players said the pace hasn't changed in practice since camp opened on Aug. 1. Making the players sick of playing against their own in scrimmages is part of the process of building a team.
But Crist says the shouting in practice isn't for nothing, it's to coach up players, get his point across and search out the best in the team.

I'm usually very calm and cool and even if they are nervous," Weis said. "They usually follow your lead."
"He's preparing us to be relaxed when we go out there and play," Ragone said.
On the seventh day, Charlie Weis will be composed and comfortable; he's got the other six to get himself worked up.
ROWING
The Kansas rowing team is holding two informational meetings this week for female students interested in joining the team and participating in competitive Division I athletics.
The meetings will take place Wednesday and Thursday from 5 to 6 p.m. at Wagnon Student-Athlete Center in Hadl Auditorium, located next to Allen Fieldhouse.

At the meetings, rowing coaching staff will discuss tryouts and the benefits of being a student athlete at the University. Rowing experience is not required.
"This is an outlet or an opportunity for them to join another team in which they may have even greater success," coach Rob Catloth said of newcomers to the sport. "They just never had rowing wherever they're from."
Catloth said this meeting is for anyone who has the desire to be a Division 1 athlete, who's athletic and has the drive to compete.

A recent study finds binge drinking can lead to not only increased social satisfaction, but also long-term health concerns.
Students discuss binge drinking study
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschilchting@kansan.com
Binge drinking students may be happy and satisfied with their social experience in college, but the long-term effects are not as satisfying.
A recent study suggested students who binge drink feel they are more socially accepted than students who do not binge drink. The study was conducted by Landon Reid, a former Colgate University faculty member, and Carolyn Hsu, associate professor of sociology at Colgate University. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention defines binge drinking as four or more drinks for women and five or more drinks for men in one occasion. The findings were presented at the 107th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association on Aug. 20.
"If you're binge drinking, you stay out longer than everyone else and you meet more people, and the next time you are out, there are more people asking you to go hang out," said Liz Smith, a junior from Augusta, Kan. "So you meet new people and go to more parties"
Julia Patterson, a freshman from Lawrence, said she doesn't drink, and if she attends a party, she doesn't fit in.
The study found that students of a higher social status were more likely to consume alcohol than their less social peers. It also found that white, wealthy, heterosexual male members of the Greek community who didn't binge drink weren't as happy with their social lives as the binge drinkers from the same group.
Hsu said students of lower social status can access the same social benefits as the high status by binge drinking.
"It's easier to be more outgoing and easier to talk to people while binging," said Taylor Gaston, a junior from Augusta, Kan.
"If you aren't drinking, you aren't going to have as much fun, and you are not going to want to go talk to people at a party," Patterson said.
Edited by Laken Rapier
Christian Crandall, a social psychology professor at the University of Kansas, said young adults binge because they are interested in fitting in, finding out who they are and finding a group to belong to. He said binging is a way to blend in and stand out at the same time.
"Binging is only going to get you to fit in when the group likes it," Crandall said. "The important, unspoken issue is that binge drinking isn't going to work all of the time or everywhere. It only works in special places at particular times."
Brandon Huddleston, a sophomore from Harper, Kan., said he doesn't binge drink because he doesn't want drinking to get in the way of his studies. Instead, he is an active runner, has a film project and is involved with the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows Program (SELF).
"Social exception shouldn't be down to how much you can drink," Huddleton said. "I meet a lot of amazing people around campus, and I don't need to drink to be friends with them."
Long-term health effects including high-blood pressure, liver disease and poor control for diabetics are also increased by binging. Nelson said. "It's important to encourage an alcohol abuser to go get help." Nelson said. "Also, be cognizant and make sure they aren't driving."
According to the University's Alcohol and Drug Policy, students who are caught drinking on campus are penalized by expulsion, suspension, probation, or by a disciplinary warning or completion of an approved rehabilitation program.
Lore Nelson, pediatrics associate professor at University of Kansas Medical Center, said binge drinking is associated with numerous unintentional injuries, including car crashes, falls and drowning. There can also be increased incidents of sexual activities, which increase the risk of transmitting STDs and pregnancies.

Sean Gutzwiller, a fifth-year senior from Topeka, tailgates for every home football game.
He's excited for the first game Saturday to start the tradition again. The game starts at 6 p.m., but he and his friends will start drinking and socializing about 11:00 a.m.
"It can make for a long day" Gutzwiller said. "You've got to pace yourself."

It's a lesson he learned the hard way. Laughing, he remembers spending one game night on the bathroom floor of a friend's house.
Gutzwiller will be joined by hordes of students in crimson and blue celebrating before the game, and efforts by the University and the Lawrence Police Department aim to ensure it's done safely.
"Our No. 1 goal is always to keep students out of the backs of police cars and ambulances," said Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student affairs.
KII ATHLETICS
Desalvo helps oversee the KU Buddy System, which is starting a new game day safety initiative.
Game attendees will see a 45-second promotional video at every home game, which DeSalvo said is known to be a high incident day. To tailgate safely, DeSalvo said to simply look out for your friends and for yourself.
"We know that if you have ten students, nine out of the ten are doing OK," DeSalvo said. "It's the one that's not, and all of those ten are capable of being the one on any given night."
For the students that aren't celebrating safely or legally, both the KU Office of Public Safety and the Lawrence Police Department will be out.

"We hope to have a presence everywhere," said Schuyler Bailey, a university police captain. "We know there's going to be a lot of people, a lot of tailgating, and we just want to have fun and do it
There are designated tailgating areas surrounding the stadium where legal drinking is permitted three hours before the game but must stop at kickoff.
Trent McKinley, an LPD spokesman, said that for the first time the department will have an additional shift of officers dedicated to policing the areas surrounding the game.
He wanted to remind students they couldn't have any open containers in public, which includes sidewalks, streets and the areas in between the two.

Labyrinth provides peaceful escape
EMILY DONOVAN editor@kansan.com
The hum of bugs and the quiet shifting of dirt underfoot replace the urban roar of campus life. In a drive just under 30 minutes west of campus rests a simple, natural break from the stress of daily life.
Luna Bella Labyrinth is a 100-foot in diameter circular path which spirals into a meditation area in an 11-circuit medieval design. Guests follow the 0.75 mile trail, consider their worries or stress, meditate, sing, pray or chat in the path's center. Then they can retrace their steps to exit the labyrinth.
"You walk the labyrinth and you release anything that you no longer want to carry with you," said
Joan Clark, the labyrinth's creator.
Clark is a local aromatherapist and traveling educator. She and her husband David Bartholomew were inspired by the famous labyrinth in the Chartres Cathedral in France. Clark felt complete clarity after walking the labyrinth and hoped to offer that sense of peace and balance to the public at home.
"Every time you take a curve or turn, it balances the right brain and the left brain so that this peace comes over you," Clark said. "You're bringing yourself back into alignment basically."
Clark said the labyrinth is a non-denominational sacred walk, a pilgrimage of inner joy.
Public feedback has been overwellingly positive. A visitor's log at the path's display case lists
Cole Eisenmenger is a sophomore from Norfolk, Neb., studying Music Therapy. He is interested in meditation methods and in walking the Luna Bella Labyrinth.
short, thankful messages. Visitors have often knocked on Clark's front door to thank her for the experience. People have left stones, notes, bracelets and necklaces at the labyrinth's center.
"Ive always loved meditating when I've had the time to, or just sitting down to relax," Eisenmenger said. "I would love to try a new method and just clear my mind and basically let enlightenment come in."
Luna Bella Labyrinth is open to the public free of charge from sun-up until 8 p.m. on weekdays and until 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. It is located at 1661 E.1

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Security keeping protesters at bay

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — They seem to be on every street corner. Police officers riding bicycles, horses and golf carts that look like baby Humvee. Metal barricades surround all of Tampa's government buildings. State police, FBI, the Secret Service — some in riot gear — throng the city's streets surrounding the Republican National Convention.
Some, from visitors to downtown business owners, wonder if the convention security is all a little too much.
"I think it's overwhelming," said Ellen Brown, the owner of a bookstore in downtown Tampa. "It seems oppressive to me."
Soldiers patrol, Tuesday, Aug. 28, in Tampa, Fla. Here's what tenes of thousands of visitors in Tampa during the Republican National Convention will see this week: police. Lots of them. They're seemingly on every street corner. Officers riding bicycles, horses and golf carts that look like baby Humvee.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It's overdone," said Tom Neal, a guest of the Texas GOP delegation. "Once you go this far, you're only a step away from becoming a police state."
During a normal August, downtown Tampa is a bit sleepy. Workers shuffle from air-conditioned offices into the steamy outdoors, past palm trees that sag under the oppressive humidity and through the city's lush green parks.
But with the convention in town, the city looks somewhat like it's under siege. Helicopters飞 almost constantly overhead and packs of police cruise by on bicycles. Fast boats whiz by the region's three bridges, looking for unseen threats. Tall chain-link fences shield the pretty parks along the Hillsborough River from view. The main library is closed.
what democracy looks like?"
Brown said she spoke with one protester who spotted the fences and long green tarps blocking the view of the city's waterfront. He was carrying a sign that said, "Is this
"Welcome to Tampa," sighed Brown.
City officials maintain the massive show of force — more than 3,000 officers — is needed to ward off possibly violent protests, pointing to several clashes with police at the 2008 Republican convention in St. Paul, Minn.
Civil liberties advocates have worried about the amping up of security at political events, where dissenters are kept in so-called "protest zones," fenced enclosures often far from the actual event. In Tampa, the protesters and city-sanctioned parade routes are blocks away from the RNC and the nearby media center. The installation of surveillance cameras on public streets (a few dozen are in place in Tampa) also give some free speech advocates pause.
Ron Krotoszynski, a professor of law at the University of Alabama, said that security at conventions has grown since 1988, when more than 300 anti-abortion protesters were arrested after blocking clinics during the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta that year. Since 9/11, "measures have become even more draconian," he said. "Organized dissent has been banished from downtown areas."
The American Civil Liberties Union expressed concern about Tampa's ban of poles, posts and rope from the so-called "event zone." The items can be used to hang banners, prop up signs and hang puppets (mostly protesters have used hand and sock puppets, but larger ones are made of papier mache and held together with planks or 2 X as).
"Some of these restrictions make sense from a security standpoint."
said Baylor Johnson, a spokesman for the Florida ACLU. "But who are you keeping safe by telling someone they can't bring in a puppet?"
In the months leading up to the convention, city officials and police estimated that more than 10,000 protesters could descend on the city. They studied what happened during prior conventions — especially the 2008 RNC in St. Paul, where thousands of protesters demonstrated and a few smashed cars, punctured tires and threw bottles in a confrontation with pepper-spray wielding police. Hundreds were arrested over a few days, including dozens of
journalists.
Seeking to avoid that kind of violence, city officials planned to bring in more than 3,000 officers from 59 state law enforcement agencies, along with Florida National Guard troops. A $50 million grant from Congress allowed Tampa police to buy everything from armored vehicles to radios.
Brown said it all might be worth it if there were actually protesters or problems. But, as she points out, the streets are largely empty and only a few hundred protesters gather at a time — likely due to Hurricane Isaac, which was a tropical storm
when it brushed past Florida on its way to hitting the Gulf Coast.
Even police have acknowledged that there have been few problems; a public safety news briefing was canceled on Tuesday because there was no news to report. During some of the actual protests, the number of law enforcement officers has rivaled the number of demonstrators.
"So far, the groups we have dealt with have been very reasonable," Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor said.

Hospital tech accused of exposing patients to hepatitis C
HAYS, Kan. — Kansas health officials say nine more patients at Hays Medical Center have tested negative for hepatitis C in cases linked to a traveling hospital technician.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says 474 people were potentially exposed to hepatitis C when David Kwiatkowski (kwiht-KOW'-skeez) worked at the Hays hospital from May to September 2010. Fifty-eight of those patients died from other causes before being tested.
THE
Kwiatkowski has denied allegations that he stole drugs from a New Hampshire hospital, injected himself and contaminated syringes later used on patients.

The Hays Daily News reports as of Monday, 357 of the remaining 416 patients had been tested. Three tested positive for a strain of hepatitis C similar to one carried by Kwiat-kwoski. Not all the test results have been returned.

TOPEKA, Kan. — A panel of Kansas judges said it may be months before it rules on whether the state's method of funding public schools is constitutional.
Ruling on public school funding to take months
The three-judge panel heard final arguments Wednesday in Shawnee County District Court in the trial of a 2010 lawsuit challenging the system.
Attorneys for the plaintiff parents and school districts argue the state has failed to live up to its promises to increase K-12 funding as ordered by the Kansas Supreme Court in 2006.

Taliban attacks Pakistanis
A Pakistani army soldier arranges weapons reportedly recovered from hideouts of militants in tribal areas, as they are displayed in Peshawar, Pakistan on Wednesday.
...
ISLAMADAD — Taliban militants ambushed a Pakistani army post near the Afghan border before dawn Wednesday, killing eight soldiers, in a reminder of the threat posed by insurgents despite numerous military offensives against them.
ered the toll to eight.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack on the post. The group's spokesman, Ahsanullah Ahsan, claimed they killed 12 soldiers and beheaded some of them.
The attack occurred in the South Waziristan tribal area, once the main stronghold for the Pakistani Taliban, a military official said. The military launched a large offensive against militants there in 2009, but insurgents still operate in the area and periodically stage attacks.
In addition to the eight soldiers killed, six others were wounded in the ambush near Ghatbadr village in the Shakai Valley, the official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. The attack started around midnight and lasted for several hours, he said.
The assault followed the start of a new army operation to rout militants from the area, the official said. During the operation over the last
two days, soldiers killed 18 militants and destroyed seven of their hideouts. Another 21 militants were wounded, according to the official.
The official initially said nine soldiers were killed but later low-
The differing accounts could not be independently verified.
The military has conducted offensives against the Pakistani Taliban in six of the seven areas that make up Pakistan's semiautonomous tribal region along the Afghan border.
The U.S. said recently that Islamabad plans to launch an operation against the Pakistani Taliban in the last major militant sanctuary in the region, North Waziristan. But Pakistan military officials have downplayed the comments, saying they intend to slowly ratchet up the pressure on militants in North Waziristan rather than launch a sweeping offensive.
Many Pakistani Taliban fighters fled to North Waziristan and other parts of the tribal region following the 2009 army operation in South Waziristan.
The U.S. has criticized Pakistan for refusing to target militants who use North Waziristan as a base to attack coalition forces in Afghanistan.

Wandering stray dogs kill 4 kangaroos in zoo
SARAJIEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Officials say stray dogs entered the Sarajevo zoo, killed four kangaroos and injured another before guards could chase them away.
Zoo veterinarian Vedad Skapulj told The Associated Press that the dogs entered the kangaroo habitat in early Wednesday morning.
The canines apparently came from the forest searching for water, which is in short supply because a months-long drought has dried up
local creeks.
The guards were able to save the life of the fifth kangaroo, which is now recovering. It is the last kangaroo at the zoo, which is located on Sarajevo's outskirts.
Skapulj叫 the incident a "tragedy." He says the zoo's management has wanted to get rid of some fences and modernize the facility but that stray dogs in the area have complicated those plans.

Explosives discovered near Egyptian college
EL-ARISH, Egypt — An Egyptian security official says authorities have discovered a bag packed with explosives planted next to a university in the Sinai Peninsula.
The official says the explosives were found Wednesday next to Sinai University in the northern city of el-Arish near Egypt's border with Gaza and Israel. Bomb experts defused the device, which included land mines and gasoline and was
wired to explode.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
The discovery highlights the continuing challenges facing Egyptian authorities in the largely lawless Sinai, where several villages and towns have turned into strongholds of Islamist extremists and those who adhere to an al-Qaida-like ideology.

Argentina tops tango world again

Argentina's Jose Luis Medina and Maria Natalia Liendo Jimenez, top, compete during the 2012 Tango Dance World Cup stage finals in Buenos Aires.
BUENOS AIRES — Argentine couples recovered their dominance of the world's top tango dancing competition, sweeping both the Salon Tango and Stage Tango categories as the annual festival drew to a close.
Cristian Sosa and Maria Sciuto won Tuesday night's stage final with a score of 8.42, followed by four other Argentine couples at the top of an international field. Five Argentine couples also came out on top in the Salon competition the night before, besting a total of 487 couples from 32 countries.
Couples from Japan and Russia, Colombia and the United States have frequently wowed the judges in previous finals, but this year none managed to impress the panel as much as the hometown couples who danced before thousands of fans in the Luna Park stadium in the Argentine capital.
To the rhythm of *El Gordo Triste* (The Sad Fat Man), the
champions swirled across the floor, smoothly nailing the genre's classic formis — untranslatable moves such as the "boleos," "ganchos" and the passionate embrace known as the "abrazo milonguo."
As with the winners of Monday night's Salon Tango final, Sosa and Sciuta left the stage with $8,600 and two tickets to Paris to perform there.
The much anticipated final was dedicated to two of the best-known ambassadors of the genre: bandoneonista and composor Aster Piazzolla, who died 20 years earlier, and dancer Nieves.
Drummer Daniel "Pipi" Piazzolla, Astor's grandson, interpreted along with several other young musicians two songs first performed by the Electronic Octet, a fusion of tango and rock led by the elder Piazzolla in the 1970s, and Nieves shared a dance with the champions of nine previous world tango competitions.

ELECTION
Ballot mix-up results in special election
TOPEKA, Kan. — Local officials aren't expecting an unusual special election in Topeka to result in a lawsuit because it didn't reverse the outcome of a Republican primary for the Kansas House after they certified results Wednesday from a single polling place.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shawnee County had the limited election Tuesday because some voters at the Light of the World Christian Center received the wrong ballots during the state's Aug. 7 primary election. The church is the voting site for two precincts, one in the 52nd Kansas House District, and the other in the 56th District.
Only the Republican primary in the 52nd District remained in doubt, and the official tally approved by the Shawnee County Commission showed Shanti Gandhi, a Topeka physician, winning by 46 votes over Dick Jones, a retired naval and U.S. State Department officer. Gandhi led the race before the special election, limited to 432 voters who had participated in the Aug. 7 vote at the church.
The results will be reviewed Friday by the State Board of Canvassers, but Gandhi would be declared the winner of the GOP primary in the 52nd District whether votes from the special election are counted or not. The state board comprises the governor, attorney general and secretary of state, and election results aren't official statewide until it certifies them.
"This one, since the results didn't change, it's more than likely not going to court," said Shawnee County Counselor Rich Eckert.
The GOP race in the 52nd House District was one of two unsettled legislative primaries. The other, for the Democratic nomination in the 65th District in the Junction City area, is tied to 206 votes each for candidates Tom Brungardt, of Milford, and Melody Saxton, of Junction City. The State Board of Canvassers must break the tie.
The Topeka ballot mix-up is even less common than a race ending in a tie. Also, Eckert said that while his legal research shows courts have ordered special elections in the past, he could find no case in which county
officials have
But he also noted that state law says county election canvassers must do "what is necessary" to ensure an accurate vote count. County commissioners concluded that certifying the original Aug. 7 results, knowing they were inaccurate, or not counting any ballots from the site of the ballot mix-up, wouldn't be as fair as holding a special election.
"I'm sure state lawmakers will be looking at this," said county Election Commissioner Elizabeth Ensley Deiter.
The county said 243 voters cast ballots in the special election, including some in the 56th District. The final tally in the GOP race in the 52nd District showed Gandhi with 1,529 votes to 1,483 for Jones and 1,117 for a third candidate, Topea attorney Scott Hesse. Results from Aug. 7 had Gandhi 41 votes ahead; without votes from the site of the ballot mix-up, he led by 45 votes.
Gandhi would face Democrat Ted Ensley, a Shawnee County commissioner who didn't participate in decisions about the special election.
Eckert said he's hoping the State Board of Canvassers gives local officials some guidance on whether calling a special election was proper but acknowledged that such legal issues are usually left to the courts.
None of the candidates or their supporters attended the county commission's meeting Wednesday.
"We're probably not going to get our answer to that question," Eckert. "It hardly ever occurs in nature."
Mother enters guilty plea
ARKANSAS CITY, KAN. — A south-central Kansas woman has pleaded guilty in the death of a toddler who drank rust remover in her home.
Two-year-old Davin Manly became fatally ill last October at the Arkansas (ar-KAN-Zuhs) city home of baby sister Jennifer Bowman. Authorities said the rust removed was in a plastic beverage bottle.

Past vendor Jennifer Ananda said the flea market is perfect for students wanting to find good deals.
"We have some vendors who scour houses that students have moved out of and other locations where they can find really cheap vintage and unique items that would be great for apartments," she said.

The prices at the market are negotiable, and Longhurst said they are geared towards a college student's budget.
Annie Matheis, a freshman from Overland Park and a thrift store shopper, said a flea market would make student living more
"A flea market would have everything you would need but for a much more reasonable price," she said.
Longhurst said by being able to interact with the vendors face-toface, buyers can learn more about the history of an object.
"It is a great environment for talking with them about the history of something," she said. "You can ask a person where they got it from or what they know about it. Everyone really loves to sit and chat about things like that."

Hurricane Isaac slams Gulf
COASTAL DEPARTMENT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tropical storm Isaac stalled for several hours before resuming its slow trek inland, and forecasters said that was in keeping with its erratic history. The slow motion over land means Isaac could be a major soaker, dumping up to 20 inches of rain in some areas.

Research students from the the University of Alabama measure wind speeds as Hurricane Isaac makes landfall. Wednesday, in New Orleans, La. Isaac was packing 80 mph winds, making it a Category 1 hurricane. It came ashore early Tuesday near the mouth of the Mississippi River, driving a wall of water nearly 11 feet high inland and soaking a neck of land that stretches into the Gulf.

NEW ORLEANS—Newly down-graded Tropical Storm Isaac plowed its way across Louisiana on the seventh anniversary of Katrina, with officials weighing whether to bust a hole in a levee to relieve some of the water that was spilling over a wall in a rural part of the state Wednesday.
Rescuies were carried out there while in New Orleans, the levee system was holding, though power lines were downed and debris littered the streets, prompting officials to impose a dusk-to-dawn curfew.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said officials may cut a hole in a levee on the east bank of Plaquemines Parish to relieve pressure on the structure. At a news conference in Baton Rouge, Jindal there was no estimate on when that might occur.
He said as many as 40 people are reportedly in need of rescue in the area.
Plaquemines Parish has also ordered a mandatory evacuation for the west bank of the Mississippi River below Belle Chasse, worried about a storm surge. The order affects about 3,000 people in the area, including a nursing home with 112 residents.
Joshua Brockhaus, an electrician who lives in the flooded area, helped rescue neighbors in his boat.
Officials said the evacuation was ordered out of concern that more storm surge from Isaac would be pushed into the area and levees might be overtopped.
The hurricane's impact was a surprise for him.
"I'm getting text messages from all over asking for help," he said. "I'm dropping my dogs off and I'm going back out there."
"We didn't think it was going to be like that," he said. "The storm stayed over the top of us. For Katrina, we got 8 inches of water. Now we have 13 feet."
Alvin Sylve, a disabled former long-distance truck driver, was preparing to evacuate. He lived on street with rows of doube- and single-wide trailers in Jesuit Bend in Plaquemines Parish, an area outside the federal levee system where people were ordered to evacuate Wednesday as conditions worsened.
"We've never seen it this bad" he said. "The way this wind is shifting."
He was hunkering down at a friend's double-wide with leaks springing in the ceiling.
"This double-wide is shaking, even though it's anchored down. You see another piece came off the roof," he said, pointing to a flying piece of roof tile. "It's falling apart!"
Meanwhile in New Orleans, Mayor Mitch Landrieu issued a curfew for the city as Hurricane Isaac lashed the city on the seven-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's destructive arrival. The curfew was issued to prevent looting and to make it easier for utility crews to restore electricity. So far, there had been only sporadic arrests for looting.
Police cars had been patrolling the nearly empty streets since Isaac began bringing fierce winds and heavy rains to the city Tuesday night. The curfew was set to start Wednesday night and would last until further notice.
In Vermilion Parish, Sheriff Mike Couvillon had a 36-year-old man
had gone to help two friends move a vehicle from under a tree to prepare for Isaac on Tuesday evening, and fell to his death after climbing 18 feet up a tree. Deputies don't know why the man climbed the tree.
Rescuers in boats and trucks plucked a handful of people who became stranded by floodwaters in thinly populated areas of southeast Louisiana. Authorities feared many more could need help after a night of slashing rain and fierce winds that knocked out power to more than 600,000 households and businesses.
Although Isaac was much weaker than Katrina, which crippled the city in 2005, the threat of dangerous storm surges and flooding from heavy rain was expected to last all day and into the night as the immense comma-shaped storm crawled across Louisiana.
Army Corps spokeswoman Rachel Rodi said the city's bigger, stronger levees were withstand the assault.
"The system is performing as intended, as we expected," she said. "We don't see any issues with the hurricane system at this point."
There were initial problems with pumps not working at the 17th Street Canal, the site of a breach on the day Katrina struck, but those pumps had been fixed, Rodi said.
In Plaquemines Parish, a fishing community south of New Orleans, about two dozen people who stayed behind despite evacuation orders needed to be rescued.
Two police officers had to be rescued by boat after their car became stuck. Rescuers were waiting for the strong winds to die down before moving out to search for other people.
As Isaac's eye Isaac passed overhead, authorities in armored vehicles saved a family whose roof was ripped off, Larpenter said.
"I think a lot of people were caught with their pants down," said Jerry Larpenter, sheriff in nearby Terrebonne Parish. "This storm was never predicted right since it entered the Gulf. It was supposed to go to Florida, Panama City, Biloxi, New Orleans. We hope it loses its punch once it comes in all the way."
rain too strong;" Plaquemines Parish spokeswoman Caitlin Campbell said.
"The winds are too strong and the
Water driven by the large and powerful storm flooded over an 18-mile stretch of one levee in Plaquemines Parish. The levee, one of many across the low-lying coastal zone, is not part of the new defenses constructed in New Orleans after Katrina.
After maintaining hurricane strength through the morning, Isaac weakened to a tropical storm Wednesday afternoon with 70 mph winds and was expected to continue losing strength. It came ashore at 7:45 p.m. EDT Tuesday with 80 mph winds near the mouth of the Mississippi River, driving a wall of water nearly 11 feet high inland and soaking a neck of land that stretches into the Gulf.
The storm stalled for several hours before resuming a slow trek inland, and forecasters said that was in keeping with the its erratic history. The slow motion over land means Isaac could be a major soaker, dumping up to 20 inches of rain in some areas. But every system is different.

Trade secret stealer sentenced four years

Chinese-born American Hanjuan Jin was sentenced to four years in prison Wednesday for stealing top trade secrets from Motorola.
CHICAGO — A federal judge sentenced a Chinese-born American Wednesday to four years in prison for stealing millions of dollars in trade secrets from Motorola, describing her as a soft-spoken, unassuming woman who carried out a "very purposeful raid" on the company in the dead of night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In a barely audible voice and heavily accented English, 41-year-old Hanjuan Jin told the judge she was "so sorry for what happened" and pleaded for a second chance. Her lawyers had argued that she took the files merely to refresh her knowledge after a long absence from work and was not spying for China. They appealed for leniency and asked that Jin receive probation, in part because of her poor health.
But U.S. District Judge Ruben Castillo said it was important to send a message that would deter others with access to trade secrets from siphoning off vital information.
"In today's world, the most valuable thing that anyone has is technology. ... The most important thing this country can do is protect
At Wednesday's sentencing, however, Castillo noted that Jin had also possessed confidential Chinese military documents and was identified as an employee of China-based Sun Kaisens, a telecommunications firm that U.S. government attorneys say develops products for China's military.
Castillo found Jin guilty in February of stealing trade secrets but acquitted her of more serious charges of economic espionage. The judge said the evidence fell short of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that she stole the information to ultimately benefit the Chinese military, as prosecutors alleged.
Jin must report to prison on Oct. 25. She also has to pay a $20,000 fine.
jm, who worked as a software engineer for Motorola Inc. for nine years, was stopped during a random security search at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Feb. 28, 2007, before she could board a flight to China. Prosecutors say she was carrying $31,000 and more than 1,000 confidential Motorola documents, many stored on a laptop, four external hard drives, thumb drives and other devices.
Typical symptoms are fever, headache and body aches, and most people get better on their own in a few days. Less than 1 percent develops neurological symptoms such as stiff necks and even coma and
About half of the cases are serious illnesses, and the CDC considers those the best indicator of West Nile activity because many mild cases do not get reported and their symptoms may not even be recognized.
West Nile virus cases are up 40 percent since last week and may rival the record years of 2002 and 2003, federal health officials said Wednesday.
So far this year,1,590 cases of the mosquito-borne disease have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and 66 deaths.

Based on reports of West Nile so far this year, "we think the numbers may come close" to those of 2002 and 2003, when nearly 3,000 severe illnesses and more than 260 deaths occurred each year, said the CDC's top expert on the disease, Dr. Lyle Petersen.
The disease first appeared in the United States in 1999. Officials say this year's early spring and hot summer may have contributed to the current boom in cases.

College nightlife is a strange world unto itself, full of stumbling side-walk sojourns, carpe diem being somehow related to peeing in the bushes, and a lot of people wanting to perform or in the act of the horizontal square dance (square dance because it's awkward, much like college students' sex lives). College nightlife can be pretty sweet. You have freedom from home, flexible schedules and cool people to hang out with. It can also be all kinds of messed up, however, especially when we try to tackle one little word and its apparent absence from college nightlife
culture: consent.

Now, I'm not saying you can't go out and have fun, or even go out with the sole purpose of finding someone to sleep with. If you and another person both agree to do stuff together, that's cool. Do that stuff. Do all the stuff you want, however you want, wherever you want, in whatever orifice you want. But see, both (big emphasis on the both), of you have got to be consenting in this theoretical sex times situation. And this doesn't apply to just intercourse as most people seem to think it does. It applies with
any behavior that involves another person's physical being. Meaning, if you want to dance with someone, you need to get permission from them. And if they say yes, awesome, greyful with it. If not, you best be backing off.
It doesn't matter if they just don't wish to dance with you, or if they just don't want to dance at all, or if they're hoping to dance with someone else—if the person you approach is all "Nah, bro," you have to respect that. You don't get to be pissed, or even worse, you definitely don't get to try to persist in a physical manner. If you do, you're a douche. Actually, you're worse than a douche in the case of the latter, you're an assaulter. You're physically, sexually assaulting someone else.
You might be feeling real uncomfortable right now. Guess what—the discomfort of the person you're grinding up against that doesn't want you to do that? It's way worse.

Now, what this means for those who use various clients like Echofon, Tweetdeck and Ubersonal is quite a bit of headaches and clinched fists. According to a separate article from arstechnica.com, these new guidelines will restrict developers like the men and women who created Echofon that "mimic or reproduce the mainstream Twitter consumer client experience."
According to a report put out by mashable.com, "Twitter is squeezing the knot around the neck of third-party Twitter apps that mimic Twitter.com with a more stringent set of API rules." These changes are designed to foster a more "consistent Twitter experience."
But it gets much worse for the developers and us as fans of
T
these third-party applications: If the developers in question do not adhere to these new rules and regulations, the third-party client risk having their application key revoked, and in turn, not existing.
What does this mean for all of the users of these applications, then? Simply put, if they do not follow these new rules set forth by Twitter, then hundreds of thousands of users will be without their favorite third-party applications.
I could not be more disappointed with what Twitter has put forward. It is not like the third-party applications have been doing anything wrong or not following the previous API. On the contrary, these third-party apps
What this new API really does is take away the creativity of these developers. By forcing them to stick to this new set of rules and regulations, Twitter is forcing them to rework how they do everything. And above all else, it makes Twitter look pretty bad. It makes them look like they are no longer embracing the platforms and applications that helped shape the Twitter culture in the early stages.
have been following everything in what Twitter laid out for them.
My call to Twitter is plain and simple, if you're not going to drop the new restrictions, that's fine, but the least you could do is loosen them a little. All these third-party applications want to do is make the overall Twitter experience much more enjoyable. If you loosen the restrictions, everyone in the social media universe, and the "Twittersphere" in general, can live in a technological harmony.
And, in the end, isn't that what we all want?

COLLEGE
Organization key to good semester
The second week of classes is about to come to an end and you've stuck to your new semester resolutions. That's awesome, but let's be honest, how long will that last?
Like an infomercial playing around 1 a.m., you are probably thinking, “there's got to be a better way.” There is, and it's easier than you may think. Almost any study on the prevention of stress cites the importance of "unplugging" yourself—even if it's just for 10 minutes. Put away your cell phone, close your laptop, step away from the television and make a to-do list for the day. If you have a clear list of what you need to get done for the day, it makes it difficult to forget.
A week or two later, stress begins to consume your life. An assignment that requires a good amount of time, boyfriend, girlfriend or single problems, long hours at work and staying out late and forgetting to finish homework are just a few things that contribute to the daily stresses of a typical college student. Before you know it, you are a week behind in everything and finals are coming up.
In my experience, I have realized it's not a matter of setting high expectations. After all, how hard is it to make sure you go to school when we have been doing it for nearly 15 years? What messes up our perfect semester? We promise ourselves that this is the semester; it's going to be perfect. "No, I really mean it this time," you say to yourself before your first class begins.
It is important to put away those gadgets and not just put them on silent because if they are out, we are likely to get distracted by thinking we are about to receive a text or a phone call. This dependency to our gadgets is a trend worldwide that contributes to stress.
Another factor of stress is peer pressure. Your friends are going
My personal way to relieve stress is to run. I consider it free therapy and it helps me sort out my thoughts and gives me energy to finish my to-do list. Everyone is different and handles stress differently but if you can do your best to prevent it then it will be one of the most valuable tools in life.
Just remember when things start to pile up to slow-down, unplug and take care of yourself. It's not too late to keep your resolution of having a perfect semester; two weeks down and only 14 more to go.
out tonight but you have a paper to finish for class tomorrow. After some serious thought and ten minutes later, you are at a bar on Mass. Street taking shots and making friends with strangers. This is college and there will always be time to go out, but when it interferes with your studies — the reason we're here — then it's time to say "no" and go out the next evening. There is no better feeling than going out, knowing you have nothing to worry about and that you'll be getting some McDonald's breakfast on your way home. The last thing you want to do while barely being able to keep your eyes open is write a paper or stress about it all evening.

Final Fridays brings art-lovers together
ALLISON KOHN
akohn@kansan.com

The sidewalks of downtown Lawrence will be abuzz this Friday night for the second anniversary of Final Fridays. The monthly event, coordinated by the Lawrence Arts Center and Downtown Lawrence Incorporated, showcases hundreds of local artists, musicians
and other performers.
"There were a lot of separate art events throughout every month," said Molly Murphy, the Final Fridays coordinator. "We wanted something that would be a culminating event to bring these events to the public."
Murphy said although each month features different exhibits, this Friday will include two after-parties beginning at 9 p.m.
to celebrate the event's anniversary. DJ Wake will perform for the 21-and-over crowd at Frank's North Star Tavern, 508 Locust St. SeedCo Studios, located at 826 Pennsylvania St., will also offer an after-party for all ages featuring local musicians produced by Whatever Forever.
vary each month and include musical and theater performances, literature readings and an array of visual art.
Murphy said the event is a culmination of the creative minds of Lawrence. The arts displayed
"I think it's giving artists a lot of opportunity to show work and strengthen the quality of artwork," Murphy said. "We're creating a community that enables the arts to flourish. The arts in Lawrence are becoming a much greater focus for surrounding
communities as well"
Many restaurants, coffee shops and other vendors offer specials on Final Fridays. For more information on participating locations as well as art exhibits and performances, visit http://finalfridayslawrence.worldpress.com.

Movies you must see
ALEX LAMB

Pulp Fiction - Quentin Tarantino's magnum opus is a frenzy of insanely quotable dialogue, engrossing characters and wild violence. Three stories involving two hit men, a mob boss's wife and a boxer on the run intertwine to create one of the coolest films ever made. Depending upon your surroundings, you will likely encounter "Pulp Fiction" references anywhere from once a week to once a day.
Some movies are so ingrained into the pop culture of college, it's almost as embarrassing for a college kid to have not seen them as it is for a Kansas student to not know the Rock Chalk Chant. So if you take your college experience seriously, here are five films you need to be familiar with.
Fight Club - You probably know that I'm not supposed to talk about "Fight Club", but I'll tell you anyway: this psychological thriller has the potential to change your life. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton give the performances of their careers in a tale of friendship, violence and escaping the bonds of society. Thought-provoking and full of razor-sharp wit, this movie is about much more than fighting.
The Big Lebowski - For all you slackers out there, Jeff Bridges' iconic character of The Dude is the ultimate
role model. This cult favorite comedy about an unemployed, pot-smoking bowling enthusiast on a quest to replace his rug takes the shape of a noir mystery as the story twists and turns, wrapped in an abundance of oddball characters and a uniquely offbeat sense of humor. Just remember: The Dude abides.
The Boondock Saints - If you're looking for a little more spirituality in your life, place your faith in the McManus brothers. In this stylish yet savagely funny shoot-um-up film, two Irish Catholic twins become vigilantes who smite the wicked criminals of the streets, while the eccentric FBI agent on the case (Willem Dafoe, in one of his most entertaining performances) can't decide whether to catch them or join them.
Memento - Before The Dark Knight trilogy, Christopher Nolan was known for one of the most unique narratives in cinema: the story of a man (Guy Pearce) with short-term memory loss tracking down his wife's killer – told in reverse chronological order. This has the effect of leaving the viewer never knowing no more about what's going on than the memory-deficient protagonist, which makes for absolutely mesmerizing storytelling.

"He was really inspired by several artists like Robert Rauschberg, Jackson Pollack and Andy Warhol," said Von Hansen, a second year doctoral student in percussion performance. "Their art really inspired his music."
"We'll be displaying a painting by Cage that will be displayed in the Teaching Gallery to connect to all of his other artistic endeav
Along with honoring Cage's birthday, the concert date also coincides with the museum's display of one of his other works of art, a print titled "On the Surface #31."
Hansen added that because of the nature of Cage's music, much of it is considered non-traditional and would use some unusual instruments such as pennies with the piano works to change the sound of Cage's music scores.
ors," said Celka Straughn, the museum's Director of Academic Programs.
The group's music will mainly be focused on percussion instrumentation.
"He wrote a lot of percussion ensemble music early on," said Luke Dull, a second year doctoral student in percussion performance. "This concert is really about honoring Cage. It'll definitely be a fairly informal concert, especially with it being during the summer concerts hours."
The concert has been in the planning stages for several months, Straughn said.
"It's something we're really excited to have, especially with the students in the music department and the crossing over of different arts and disciplines," she said. "Like with the case of John Cage, he defied boundaries in several ways, and bringing the sound elements is a big contribution to helping the museum move forward."

Jackson film bought by ABC
The acclaimed filmmaker, who had previously collaborated with Jackson, has been prepping "Bad25," a documentary tracing the late king of pop's creative vision during the making of "Bad," the follow-up to his groundbreaking "Thriller." It is one of two major projects pegged to the 25th anniversary of the 1987 hit-filled album.
LOS ANGELES — ABC has acquired the television rights to Spike Lee's upcoming Michael Jackson documentary, the network announced Tuesday.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
"This will be a very special Thanksgiving for all families to enjoy the genius of Michael Jackson." Lee said in a statement. "Big thanks to ABC for allowing people to witness the making of Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album."
their archives for never-before-seen footage, including some shot by Jackson himself. The director also conducted interviews with some of Jackson's confidants, choreographers, musicians and collaborators, including Martin Scorsese, Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow, L.A. Reid and Kanye West.
Ranje West.
Before Lee's documentary "Bad 25" airs on Thanksgiving, the film will premiere next month at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Lee teamed with Jackson's estate and Legacy/Epic Records to search
"Bad," the third and final album collaboration between Jackson and Quincy Jones, made history with five consecutive No.1 singles.
To commemorate the anniversary, Jackson's estate, in collaboration with Epic/Elegacy Recordings, will reissue the disc _ the first re-release of an album from Jackson's catalog since his 2009 death.
Dubbed "Bad 25," the deluxe package will feature three CDs, two collectible booklets and the first-
ever authorized DVD release of a concert from his record-breaking Bad tour.
Of the three CDs, one is a remastered version of "Bad," another features demos and songs recorded in Jackson's studio that didn't make the cut, as well as remixes, and the third will feature audio from the soundtrack recordings of the accompanying DVD, making it Jackson's first live album. The album will hit stores Sept. 18.

MINNEAPOLIS — Warning:
This is a story about online cat videos. If you're among the seemingly tiny minority of the general population not interested in watching a 1-minute clip of a cat in a T-shirt pounding on a keyboard, then move along.
$ \textcircled{2} 0 1 2 $ Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
"It is a cultural phenomenon that raises some interesting questions," said Katie Hill, the Walker program associate who first suggested the festival.
For everyone else, a new measure of respectability is looming for an Internet pleasure that is both massively popular and, for some people, a bit embarrassing. The Walker Art Center, a well-regarded museum of modern art in Napleawe, on Thursday is presenting its first "Internet Cat Video Film Festival" to showcase the best in filmed feline hikinks.
With about 70 videos over 60 minutes, the Walker is mounting a social experiment as much as a film festival. At issue is whether cat video lovers used to goring on the clips in the privacy of their homes will do so in public — an online community of fellow aficionados interacting face to face for the first time.
But Hill, a self-described "art historian and cat lady," was quick to add: "I'm not a behavioral psychologist, I'm not a sociologist. I just think they're funny and cute, and I think a lot of other people do too."
The numbers bear it out. Some of the classics of the form have racked up tens of millions of YouTube page views. The aforementioned "Keyboard Cat" posted 26.3 million page views since it was posted in 2007. A 30-second clip titled "Very Angry Cat" — can you guess the plot? — has 78.5 million page views since 2006.
"Some you just watch over and over and over again," said Angie Bailey, a cat blogger and owner from Chisago City, Minn., covering the film festival for the website Catster.com. "When you want to laugh and feel good it's sort of an escape from what happens in the real world."
Walker programmers got about 10,000 submissions for the festival after initially expecting several hundred. They whittled that down to the 70 videos to be shown on an outdoor screen on the museum's grounds.
Afterward, festivalgoers will be able to vote online for a "Best in Show" award. In addition, the Walker programmers picked a "Golden Kitty Award" to be bestowed at the end of the night.

WEEKEND MOVIE REVIEWS
MOVIE REVIEW
"Killer Joe" is sure to shock
LANDON MCDONALD
lmcdonald@kansan.com
William Friedkin's gleefully amoral "Killer Joe" is a film designed to elicit both delight and disgust from its audience.
Some viewers, perhaps failing to heed the well-earned NC-17 rating, will emerge from the theater angry or repulsed, especially by the grotesque final scene. Others will marvel at star Matthew McConaughey's long-suppressed acting talents and celebrate the film's off-kilter performances and perversely comic tone.
Adapted by Tracy Letts from his own play, "Killer Joe" centers on the increasingly poor decisions of the Darwin award-worthy Smith family. Desperate to pay off his debt to a vicious Texas drug lord, Chris (Emile Hirsch) enlists the help of his dim-witted father Ansel (Thomas Haden Church) and stepmother Sharla (Gina Gershon) in a scheme to dispose of his real mother and collect on her life insurance. Unwilling to get their hands dirty, the Smiths approach Joe Cooper
(McConaughey), a Dallas police detective who moonlightes as a contract killer. Joe agrees on one condition: He wants Chris's virgin sister Dottie (Juno Temple) as a retainer until the job is done.
An alternate title for "Killer Joe" could have been "The Dumb and the Desperate." The majority of the characters are aggressively ignorant and unlikeable, yet the experience of watching them is never less than wholly absorbing. Every act of degradation and betrayal carries with it the queasy mesmerism of a real-time car crash. Think of the Coen Brothers' "Fargo" without the reassuring balance of the Frances McDormand character and you'd be in the right ballpark.
The success of last year's "The Lincoln Lawyer" appears to have jolted McConaughey out of the career-stalling stupor brought on by years of romantic comedies. Since then he's been turning in the rich, nuanced work of a veteran character actor in films like this summer's "Bernie" and "Magic Mike." His performance as Joe is a knowing riff on his good ol' boy
image;— his charm and unfailing civility now the mask of a seasoned apex predator.
Hirsch and Church both excel as slack-jawed losers, when Gersonchows the scenery with gusto as the connivance, perpetually bottomless Sharla. The film's only weak link is Temple, an actress whose entire career seems geared towards starring in a remake of "Lolita," and who amplifies Dotty's space-waif persona to the point where it becomes grating.
FINAL RATING:
3 OUT OF 4 STARS
Friedkin, the renowned director of "The Exorcist" and "The French Connection" seems to have reached a creative resurgence that started with the adaptation of Letts' surveillance thriller "Bug" back in 2006. This new film is the work of a tireless master whose capacity to shock and disturb remains undaunted, even nearly four decades after Linda Blair's head spinning.

MOVIE REVIEW
In "Lawless," the outlaws rule
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
Life is cheaper than liquor to the backwater desperados of "Lawless," director John Hillcoat's latest meditation on the evil that men do in the name of honor and family.
Although purportedly based on the real-life exploits of a Virginia bootleger clan known as the Bondurant Brothers, much of the film unfolds as a blood-drenched folk tale, packed to the rafters with larger-than-life characters and sudden, shuddering bursts of operatic brutality. It also features the great Gary Oldman wielding a Tommy gun in a scene that recalls Albert Finney's infamous house call in "Miller's Crossing."
The story, adapted from Matt Bondurant's novel "The Wettest County in the World," is told through the eyes of Jack (Shia LaBeouf), the youngest of the three Bondurants and the least likely to survive the family business because of his sensitive nature and general impulsiveness. His brothers Forrest (Tom Hardy) and Howard (Jason Clarke) are both hardened
men of violence. Hardy's character in particular seems not to possess a fear of death even when it comes in the eyebrowless, dandified form of Special Deputy Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce), a Chicago investigator who's been sent down south to break up the moonshine racket led by exiled gangster Floyd Banner (Gary Oldman).
LaBeouf is a capable enough performer when he's not having to hold his own against Oldman or Pearce. His courtship of a local preacher's daughter, played with understated grace by the lovely Mia Wasikowska, serves as a nice respite from all the bullet holes and sliced jugulars. Young Dane DeHaan, whose star has been on the rise since starring in last winter's sleeper hit "Chronicle," could have used some more screen time as Jack's crippled friend Cricket, who the brothers unwisely enlist to help run their moonshine still.
Hardy, meanwhile, continues to earn those early Brando comparisons with his mumbling, brooding take on the corn-fed alpha male, while Jessica Chastain channels hidden fire as the woman who dares
to love him. In the end, though,
it's Pearce's impeccably dressed,
hilbilly-hating lawman who nearly
steals the show. Who knew shaved
eyebrows could be so damn intimidating?
The film was written and scored by post-punk Aussie rocker Nick Cave, who also collaborated with Hillcoat and Pearce on "The Road" and "The Proposition," the latter of which remains my all-time favorite western despite the fact that it takes place entirely in the parched badlands of colonial Australia. His "Lawless" script never reaches the verbal or visual poetry of that earlier work, and the meandering, fanciful ending closes the film on a note of forced sentimentality. But as any good moonshiner will tell you, even watered-down brilliance is something worth drinking to.

PITTSBURGH — Duran Duran is canceling several concerts because of the illness of keyboard player Nick Rhodes.
The band had already called off concerts over the past week in Pittsburgh; in Kettering, Ohio; outside Chicago; and in Atlantic City, N.J.
The band had hoped to reschedule some of the shows, but decided to cancel the final half-dozen shows on its North American tour. That includes the four U.S. concerts and two shows in Orillia, Ontario.
The band has said Rhodes is suffering from exhaustion or a possible viral infection.

Kardsahian settles with Old Navy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Kim Kardashian has settled a lawsuit against Old Navy claiming the clothing retailer violated her publicity rights by retailers like a lookalike in an ad.
Kardashian sued over the spot in July 2011, claiming the company's use of a model who looked like her might confuse consumers about her actual endorsements, which include a clothing store and shoe line.
No details about the settlement were filed with the court.
"The lawsuit was resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties," said the reality TV starlet's attorney Gary Hecker, who declined to elaborate.
A spokesperson for Old Navy parent company The Gap Inc. was not immediately available.
The lawsuit was over the commercial title "Super C-U-T-E." The ad began airing in February 2011 and was still being used in some of the company's promotions months later. Kardashian's lawsuit stated.
It featured Canadian singer-model Melissa Molinaro, who an attorney for Old Navy said at a January hearing was famous in her own right. Her appearance in the ad wasn't intended to draw similarities to Kardashian, the retailer maintained.
Hecker contended that some news outlets and Twitter users noted similarities in the women's appearances.
Kardashian, 31, was seeking unspecified damages and an order barring Old Navy from using a lookalike model again.

Tough schedule ahead

Good times appear to be coming, but a schedule with that many tanked players spells trouble for Kansas in 2012.

KANSAS VS. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
Jimmy Johnson, former University of Miami and Dallas Cowboys coach, had a saving.
"It's about the Jimmy's and Joe's, not the X's and O's."
TEXAS 14 KANSAS 35
While coaches are hired and fired, the formula for great teams remains the same: talent, all over the field.
This isn't about the upgraded Kansas coaching staff or the improved roster that fans will see for the first time in action against South Dakota State on Saturday in Memorial Stadium at 6 p.m.
It's about the schedule.
Coming off one of the worst seasons in decades, the Jayhawks are rewarded with games against six pre-season ranked teams this fall. Underachievers Missouri and Texas A&M were replaced with perennial bowl game winners TCU and West Virginia. Both teams are ranked heading into this season.
After two apparent layups to open the season at home against South Dakota State and Rice, here what Kansas is looking at the following seven weeks: No. 15 TCU, No. 22 Kansas State, No. 19 Oklahoma State, No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 15 Texas.
But for a team that has one conference victory the last two seasons, this year's schedule is a wake-up call for any fans getting a little too excited about the positive changes surrounding the football program this offseason.
It's no surprise that playing football in the Big 12 is tough, though. Ranked teams are not a rare thing, and Heisman hopefuls come and go nearly every season.
READY FOR THE START
Northern Illinois, one of three non-BCS schools in the non-conference schedule, has won 11 games each of the last two seasons. The Jayhawks travel to Dekalb, III., for the matchup on Sept. 22.
The Jayhawks are 1-10 all-time on the road against Texas Tech and Baylor and have just one road victory over K-State (2007) in Big 12 play.
The games one might consider possible conference wins heading into the season are Iowa State, K-State, Texas Tech and Baylor. Iowa State is the only home game for Kansas.
The Jayhawk defense, which was last in the country in points per game last season with 43.8, faces two Heisman trophy frontrunners in quarterbacks Landry Jones of Oklahoma and Geno Smith of West Virginia (both at 8/1 odds to win). Both games are on the road.
Two years removed from an embarrassing opening game, Jayhawks look to beat Jackrabbits
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Charlie Weis only has fond thoughts of South Dakota State University. The Jackrabbits are, after all, responsible for two of Weis' feated Super Bowl rings. Former South Dakota State kicker Adam Vinatier made the blue and yellow quite proud when he became the only NFL player to be the deciding factor in multiple championship games.
Teams from the Dakotas have caused trouble for Kansas in the past — particularly to its new coaches — and Weis would like to keep his affectionate attitude intact.
"I think that bringing back moments from the past, both good and bad, are always good teaching points." Weis said of the loss to North Dakota State in 2010. "Especially how that 6-3 game turned out. That's not too far in their distant past."
Senior defensive end Toben Opurum remembers North Dakota State all too well. Opurum had just switched from running back to defense under then coach Turner Gill, but Gill decided not to use Opurum when the game got rough. Opurum instead watched helplessly from the sidelines.
"It was not a fun game to even watch," Opurum said. "I felt like I could have helped on defense, I felt like I could have helped on offense, but I just couldn't do anything."
"I remember getting the score and being pretty shocked," Bowen said. "I didn't see it until afterwards but when I was the score I thought it was the first quarter. Then I realized how late it was and that it had to be the final."
Defensive backs and special teams coach Clint Bowen remembers the monstrosity too. Bowen was the defensive coordinator for Western Kentucky at the time, but as a former Jayhawk defensive back, he kept tabs on his alma mater.
The game and coach are long gone, but not forgotten. The
current Jayhawks are using it as a lesson in coming out strong. Opurum said the players and coaches have talked about making sure they don't get off to a slow start, but that it also serves another purpose: motivation.
As Opurum puts it, just as Kansas has prepared all summer
for South Dakota State the opposite is just as true.
"We've got to make sure we bring the energy and treat them like any other team." Opurum said. "We can't act like we're anyone special because we are a Division I team."
Unlike the last time a Dakota
team visited Lawrence, Opurum will not only be playing in the game, he'll do so as a captain. Where his eyes were trying to hide from the poor play on the field in 2010, this time they'll be as wide as can be, looking to direct him toward his next big play. In 2010 Opurum could only
pray for a different outcome.
"This time I'll be on the field." Opurum said. "Making the plays that my team needs me to make."

nevans@kansan.com
Starting senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau has already made her presence known early this season, making other teams pay through her dominating, goal-preventing talent and relentless effort.
Liebetrau, a native of Centennial, Colo., has the team's two shutouts of the season after playing only four games. She earned both wins back-to-back this past weekend in the Kansas Invitational, when the team played against Georgia and University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Kansas won both matches, beating Georgia 1-0 and UNLV 3-0. Liebetrau reflected how playing Georgia was a redemption game for the team and a great win for them after losing to the Bulldogs in the first round of the NCAA tournament last year, but she didn't keep all the credit to herself.
"Beating Georgia was amazing." Liebetrau said. "While getting the win was huge, getting the shutout was the cherry on top of a great win.
The entire team did a tremendous job on defense."
Before this season began, Liebetrau already had 197 saves and 16 wins in her career. She can tack on another 10 saves and an additional three victories so far this season; good enough to have her ranked fourth all-time at Kansas in both categories. She also had the team's only shut-out last season against Purdue. Playing all four years for Kansas after being red-shirted her freshman year, she has learned a lot about playing such a crucial position at an intense and competitive level.
"While I'm in the goal, I really
I would tell any aspiring athlete to just continue to work hard and push yourself even when things might get rough," Liebetrau said. "Playing at such a high level and having such great teammates is the best reward any athlete can ask for."
She plans to keep working hard and rolling up that stat count as the season progresses, concentrating on staying focused and always being an active presence on the field.
focus on staying engaged with the game, constantly communicating with my teammates and moving." Liebetrau said. "It's important to stay focused 100 percent. I always have to stay alert and aware of where the next play might end up"
Liebetrau is graduating in December after majoring in liberal arts and plans to go to a culinary arts institution next fall.
"Outside of school and soccer, I love cooking, particularly baking." Liebretrau said. "I love meking cakes and pastries and trying new things in the kitchen."
Another fact fans may not know is that while Liebetrau's favorite movie is a classic that deals with another sport entirely; baseball.
"My favorite movie is 'The Sandlot.' I fell in love with the movie when I was a kid and still love it today," Liebertrau said.
Keep an eye on Liebetrau as she may get two more chances to continue her shutout streak this weekend.

Jayhawks not underestimating opponents
NICOLE EVANS
UCSB 31 KANSAS 7
As the Jayhawks host two more games this weekend, they hope to continue their winning trend at home after earning two victories at the Kansas Invitational last weekend.
Forward Whitney Berry charges downfield past University of California Santa Barbara defenders in the Jayhawks opening game Friday night. The Jayhawks won the game in overtime 2-1, setting off a good start to the regular season.
Kansas will first battle the Creighton Blue Jays this Friday night at 5 p.m. The Jays are 1-2-1 on the season, earning their first victory of the year last Tuesday on the road against South Dakota. The Jayhawks plan to end the win streak on the road in Lawrence and improve on their own two-game win streak that started at home.
"I think winning at home both days is really important. This weekend is not only important to get the results but also to play on the same level [as last weekend] both games," junior forward/mid-fielder Caroline Kaski said.
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
The squads share more similarities than just the three first letters of their mascots' names. The Jays were eliminated last year in the opening round of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
The Jayhawks had the same misfortune in the NCAA tournament, but both teams are looking to redeem themselves this year. Kansas is off to a better start in accomplishing that, coming off two shut-outs last weekend to bring their record to a 4-1.
Both squads are also missing players because of international recognition for their talent. Kansas senior midtieder Sarah Robbins has been representing her home country of Canada in Under-20 World Cup, which is being hosted in Japan. Jays senior Gabriela Guillen will be absent from
the game against Kansas, as she is playing for the Costa Rica National Team in a friendly against Team USA.
Kansas senior defender Cassie Dickerson is still absent from the field because of an injury and is expected to be gone between four to six weeks.
"Cassie has a really good attitude, and once she is healthy, we'll get her back out there," coach Mark Francis said.
On Sunday, the lajahawks will face a young and relatively inexperienced squad in the Arizona State University Sun Devils, with 11 freshmen and two transfer students making up over half of ASU's team. ASU is 1-2 on the season, earning their first win in their most recent game against Northern Arizona University. They face the University of Missouri Tigers this Friday at 6:30 p.m.
Freshmen Devin Marshall and Cali Fargulharson had led ASU offensive, scoring two goals each in the team's only victory.
Kansas has a strong offensive front this year with a plethora of players to choose from — already having five different player scores this season — for both setting up plays and capitalizing on opportunities to create goals.
"You can't just key in on one or two people, making it difficult for other teams to play against us," Francis said.
Senior forward/midfielder Whitney Berry continues to be a machine, scoring the first goal for Kansas against UNLV and assisting the other two. Freshmen forward Courtney Dickerson and Ashley Williams have made the
most of their debuds. Dickerson scored her first career goal against UNLV to ensure the victory over the Rebels. Williams has already started receiving honors, earning the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week award following a strong opening weekend.
Kansas may have the homefield advantage and a better record, but the Jays and Sun Devils present different challenges. The team plans to use every game as a chance to learn and grow as a team, using every game as an opportunity to prove that they
deserve the winning record they currently boast.
"We can't get caught in the monotony of a routine, but keep each game fresh and exciting, in order to keep winning games," Kastor said.
The Jayhawks will play against
Creighton this Friday at 5 p.m. before taking on the Sun Devils on Sunday at 1 p.m. Both games will be held at the Jayhawks Sports Complex.

Team to focus on passing, setting for upcoming weekend tournament

"It's difficult to go back to endgame situations where there's a crazy band hollering at you, and there's a big old razorback walking around the gym, and there's a certain level of anxiety," coach Ray Beard said.
After dropping a close match against Arkansas in the title game of the Arkansas Invitational, the Kansas volleyball team is working on recreating endgame situations in preparation for this weekend's Kansas Volleyball Invitational.
This weekend in the Kansas Volleyball Invitational, the Jayhawks will play more quality opponents who might battle them later for NCAA Tournament bids.
Kansas begins Friday morning at 11:30 a.m. against Sam Houston State in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Bearkats went 18-13 in 2011, and they already have pushed one BCS conference foe to five sets.
"Sam Houston State's coming in I think probably feeling pretty good about themselves," Beachard said. "They were up 2-0 against Colorado and lost in five."
The lajayhaws face the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes from Conference USA on Friday at 7 p.m. Tulsa went 28-7 in 2011 and won their conference. They reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
In the final match of the invitational, the Jayhawks play Arkansas State at 2 p.m., Saturday. Bechard said he expects Arkansas State to win at least 20 matches this season.
"I think that match keys for us are always pass and serve." Carmichael said. "Once you have a good pass and you have a good serve, then you can have a good set and
Junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael said the Jayhawks must be more consistent with their serving and passing, especially late in sets. Inconsistent serving hurt the Jayhawks against Arkansas, when they had 11 service errors, some coming at crucial times in sets.
you can have a good swing as well."
Although service errors were a problem last weekend, the Jayhawks offense overall was very good. Bechard used 14 players, and five of them recorded at least nine kills in a match. Bechard said he plans on using the Jayhawks' depth again this weekend.
"Last year we were a little topheavy on the outside." Bechard said. "We have some goals as to what percentage of balls should go to the middles and outside. It's great to see the score sheet when there's four or five players with eight or nine kills or better, and that's going to serve you well deep into your future schedule."
Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefle said the Jayhawks' depth allows them to have strong offensive performances, because the opposition's defense can't focus on a specific attacker. This lets the Jayhawks' setter pick how to penetrate the opposing defense.
"When your passers put you in system it's hard to defend against, when you have three attackers up
there and the setter has all three options available," Tolefree said.
Junior Erin McNorton earned the most playing time at setter last weekend, but Bechard said her and junior Kara Wehrs would be called upon this weekend, depending on the match situation.
Bechard said freshman Maggie Anderson, who was unavailable last weekend because of a family wedding, has practiced well and could be in the mix for playing time this weekend. The team's goal for setters is to be able to correctly identify where balls need to go to keep the offense balanced.
Tolefree also said the Jayhawks focused on defensive intensity during practice this week to reinforce the necessity of winning late game points and keeping concentration through the end of a set.
"You can hang with a team and beat them out statistically," Toflefree said. "Over the course of the match, you might be good, and then those few points, those last few points, are when you really have to stick it because it's end game."

THE MORNING BREW Baseball continues battle with young, old
In the baseball world it's an ongoing struggle between baseball purists and those
The purists are losing.
Throughout the past two seasons, MLB has implemented instant replay on home runs, expanded the number of teams that make the playoffs each year by adding an additional Wild Card to the National and American Leagues, and announced plans to move the Houston Astros from the National League Central to the American League West. The Astros' move will mean that interleague play will be necessary throughout the season rather than just the few weeks at the beginning of the year.
These sweeping changes mirror the subtle shift that has permeated baseball circles over the past decade. Teams have moved away from traditional scouting and player evaluation that rely
on firsthand observation and basic statistical analysis toward sabermetrics and advanced scouting.
While I am of the belief that tradition, history and purity are the most important aspects of the game of baseball, these changes are good for the sport and its fans.
The beginning and end of the MLB season coincide with some of the most important dates in the yearly sports cycle. The pennant chase and postseason in September and October overlap with the beginning of the NFL season, while the beginning of the MLB season overlaps with March Madness. The MLB must compete with the most popular sports in the nation for view-hip and attendance.
That's why MLB is trying to come up with new ways to keep fans interested, like year-long interleague games that heighten entertainment value and import-

tance of baseball. Fans will be able to see their teams face off against historic franchises in storied ballparks they normally have little opportunity to see. This can create added interest for fans of teams in poor seasons as they anticipate games in classic ballparks such as Fenway Park, Wrigley Field or Camden Yards.
But replay is still what drives most controversy for the game of baseball. While I tend to favor less replay and believe that human error is an integral part of baseball, there are certain instances in which replay is absolutely necessary.
Replay on home runs is one of those instances, as home runs are usually dramatically game-changing and easy to see on replay. Another instance is on trapped versus caught balls in the outfield. Again, it is very
KU
easy to see with replay whether a catch was made or not, and there are many times where these calls greatly affect the outcome of a game.
There is understandable opposition to replay and other changes, often claiming that baseball is a game of history and tradition, and these changes take away some of the fundamental aspects that make the sport so entertaining.
For me, at its best replay can be something that ensures that the history and tradition of the game is fairly and properly earned while moving the game along more quickly. At its worst, it is
a necessary evil that encumbers the flow of the baseball game but makes sure that something like the Jim Joyce blown call in 2009 that took a perfect game away from then Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Gallaraga doesn't happen.
Purists may not like it, but the game of baseball is changing and should continue to change. The fans and league benefit from an evolving game that can compete against the likes of football and basketball for the attention of sports fans.

Yankees, Sabathia struggle against Orioles in 8-5 loss
NEW YORK—CC Sabathia took the blame. Manager Joe Girardi spread it around.
No matter whose mistakes cost the Yankees in their sixth loss in nine games, they need to straighten things out: the quickly closing Baltimore Orioles are coming to the Bronx for three games starting Friday.
Sabathia failed to hold two leads,
and New York made three errors and went homerless at Yankee Stadium in consecutive games for the first time this season. It all added up to an 8-5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday.
"We didn't play well, that's the bottom line." Girardi said. "We had chances offensively: didn't get it done. We had chances defensively: didn't get it done."
The Yankees' inability to win back-to-back games for the first
time since beating Texas three in a row Aug. 13-15 has hurt them in the standings. New York's lead in the AL East would dwind to 2 1/2 half games if Baltimore wins later Wednesday. June 24 was the last time anyone was that close.
The Yankees went 3 for 17 with runners in scoring position, even though they had six doubles for the first time since July 30, 2011.
"Things like this happen every once in a while. You just have to
shake it off", Russell Martin said. "We've got to bring it against the Orioles this weekend, for sure. It's a big one."
Yunel Escocbar had the big day for Toronto. The shortstop hit a two-run home, three doubles and drove in five runs. He had a go-ahead RBI double in the third. His homer against Sabathia in the sixth gave the Blue Jays the lead again and his two-run double off Joba Chamberlain in the ninth helped secure Toronto's
first series win since July 27-29. The five RBIs matched a career high for Escobar.
"He feels like anything positive that happens to the club is going to be welcome right now," injured slugger Jose Bautista said, translating for Escobar. "He feels like winning a series on the road against a club like the Yankees that's definitely a positive and he hopes it can help bring up team morale a little bit."
J. A. Happ (3-1) overcame a season-high five walks, including an intentional pass of Derek Jeter to load the bases with one out in the fourth inning, for the Blue Jays' second win in 10 games.
Four Blue Jays relievers combined to hold New York to a run and four doubles over four innings. Brandon Lyon opened the eighth by giving up consecutive doubles to pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez and Martin, whose grounder bounced high off third base to make it 6-5.

BIG 12 RANKINGS
OU team to beat
In the first Kansan Big 12 power poll of the season, the Kansan staff selected seven-time Big 12 champion Oklahoma as the conference favorite.
1) Oklahoma
Why in a league with three reigning conference champions — none of them residing in Norman, Okla. — are the Sooners the team to beat? Quarterback Landry Jones, running back Dominique Whaley and wide receiver Kenny Stills are the answer. As junior们 they put together the fifth best scoring team in the nation and the 10th best passing offense. Expectations are even higher in 2012.
2) West Virginia
Seniors Geno Smith and Tawon Austin look to make a lot of noise, despite being conference newcomers. Coming off as Big East champions and a lopsided 70-33 Orange Bowl win over Clemson, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen wants his team to duplicate that success in the Big 12.
3) TCU
It's been five years since Gary Patterson finished a season with less than 11 victories. Although the Big 12 offers a tougher schedule, TCU looks to continue on tearing through opponents. Road games at West Virginia, Texas and Oklahoma State will provide proving grounds for the Horned Frogs. The season finale at home against the Sooners will show just how far TCU has come.
4) Texas
After Garrett Gilbert's struggles at quarterback made him leave the program, coach Mack Brown has retooled his offense around David Ash and Case McCoy. Bolstered by a returning secondary that helped keep opponents to 22 points per game, the Longhorns will have a speedy return to Big 12 prominence.
Kansas State kicked off the 2011 season eighth in the Big 12, but finished second by the time the season was over. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder wants his team to make strides and climb up the conference ladder like they did last season.

6) Oklahoma State
The Cowboys start over with a new and young offense in the works with the departure of a couple of key offensive players. On defense, look for defensive backs Justin Gilbert and Brodrick Brown as keys for Oklahoma State's success this season.
7) Baylor
No Robert Griffin III, no Kendall Wright and no Terrance Ganaway equals no top three finish in 2012. Art Bries still has weapons in his receiving corps with Terrance Williams and Trein Reeuse, but quarterback Nick Florence made only 12 pass attempts last season.

Kansas coach Charlie vents begins a new chapter in his life and is looking to turn around a struggling football team. The lajhawks have not won a conference game since Nov. 6, 2010, going 1-16 in confer ence games in the last two years.
Iowa State has a lot of work to do this season. Coach Paul Rhoads is relying on linebackers A.J. Klein and Jake Knott, who are the top notable players on the Cyclones. Iowa State hopes to find some positive consistency after encouraging wins last season against Iowa and Oklahoma State.
8) Iowa State
They've gone through four defensive coordinators in four years and have yet to climb out from the Big 12 basement. It will take more than one season for the Red Raiders defense to match the productivity of their offense.

The Kansas cross country team runs for a meet in September 2011. The team will compete in the Bob Timmons Classic on Saturday.

MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com
The cross country teams will take to Rim Rock, the jayhawks home course, on Saturday focused on what this race can potentially build for the future of the program.
The captains of the teams will not be running. The Bob Timmons Classic will not involve
MARY HARRIS
Richardson
a list of Division I programs, but it is a race that has importance for assistant coach Michael Whittlesey.
"We're trying to get the team used to competitive experience again, and get our team understanding how to run together as a pack and start focusing on that pack running." Whittlesey said of the team's first meet of the season.
Hannah Richardson, from Kirkwood, Mo., will be the only freshman running for the Kansas women's team at the Timmons Classic, though the other freshmen will run unattached. She said that coach Whittlesey has talked about running as a pack with every run she has had so far as a Jayhawk.
The pack has not slowed down at all for Richardson to keep up; rather, Whittlesey wants Richardson to push herself to a faster pace to run with the pack.
Richardson said she has heard of Bob Timmons, the former Kansas coach who the meet was named for, but she does not know much about his accomplishments. Timmons recorded four national championships and 31 league titles from 1966-1988. Saturday Richardson will run along the course at Rim Rock Farm, her feet trampling over land that was once owned by Timmons himself. It was Timmons who made the choice of making a cross country course out of his farmland northwest of Lawrence, where the layhawks have ran home meets since 1974. In 2004, Timmons donated the land to the University.
"He encourages you to try to stay with them instead of them leaving you." Richardson said.
Whittlesey thinks the freshmen class, for both men's and women's teams, is strong this year. On the women's team, he said there could be some freshmen who push their way into the front five runners this year, which is rare. Gabe Gonzalez, a redshirt freshman on the men's team, has been consistently running near the front of the pack throughout training.
"The ultimate goal for every coach should be, it is for me, to win a national title", Whittlesey said. "We're not there yet, but the goal is to get the program to be one of the top programs in the country, and I think were at the doorstep of that right now."
In coaching the distance runners, Whittlesey is focused on one goal: a national championship. After a year in which neither of his teams finished in the top five of the Midwest region, that goal may sound difficult to accomplish, but Whittlesey is thinking long-term.
He is hoping to restore the Kansas distance program to the tradition of glory that is still taught to the runners who were born long after that tradition had faded.
"Its amazing how much from one year to the next the dynamic can change" Whittlesey said.

FOOTBALL GAMEDAY PREVIEW
KANSAS 2-10 IN 2011
OFFENSE
Kansas fans finally get a much anticipated look at highly touted quarterback Dayne Crist, and coach Charlie Weis' esteemed play-calling. Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox will offer a speedy and powerful backfield that is sure to pick up yards if the offensive line can hold up its share of the bargain, but all eyes will be on Crist's every move.

QUESTION MARKS
Can the new-look Jayhawks put it all together?
The players are bigger, the talent is better and the coaches are experienced, but how will it look on the field? The defense has an experienced leader in Dave Campo but is relatively the same as last year. Will the coaching be the difference?
BY THE NUMBERS

26
Amount of teams Charlie Weis and Dave Campo have coached on.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Dayne Crist made only 24 pass attempts last season with Notre Dame, but in a starting role at Kansas he'll most likely exceed that total on Saturday. With Daymond Patterson, Kale Pick and D.J. Beshears starting at wide receiver, Christ will have enough weapons to make plays, but how consistently and effectively he can run the offense remains to be seen.
AT A GLANCE
MOMENTUM
Former Kansas coach Turner Gill began his Jayhawk tenure with a 6-3 loss at home to North Dakota State. Current coach Weis won't allow the same fate to happen to him. With a jam-packed schedule, this should be one of the easier matchups for Kansas all season, and one they can't let go floating by.
With Charlie Weis comes hope, and hope has brought excitement back to a program that hasn't had any since the 2008 Insight Bowl. After two lackluster seasons under Turner Gill, any improvement will add to the increasing optimism around Memorial Stadium.
COACHING
Charlie Weis enters his first season as a Jayhawk and first as a head coach since getting booted from Notre Dame in 2009. Weis came to Kansas to build up a program in Lawrence along with a shot at personal redemption. He has famously succeeded as an offensive coordinator at every level but has yet to make his mark as a head coach.
STARTING LINEUP
DEFENSE
The Jayhawk defenders have returned to Lawrence noticeably much bigger and stronger. Led by senior captain Toben Opurum, and spurred on by defensive coordinator Dave Campo, they shouldn't be the lowest ranked defense in the FBS anymore, but holding off a barrage of scoring will still be a concern. Look for junior college transfer Jordan Tavai to make an impact right away on the defensive line at nose tackle.

SPECIAL TEAMS
After leading the nation in net punting last season, kicker Ron Doherty returns to pick up he left off, hopefully with less required work on his behalf. On the other side of the ball, D.J. Beshears looks to build on his speedy return game from last season and give the Jayhawks every chance to pack on the points.

With Austin Summer doubtful, freshman quarterback Eric Kline has two seniors he can rely on in Kool and Rollin along with tight end Seth Daughters. Expect the Jackrabbits to try and contain Toben Opurum and go pass heavy against the Jayhawks with their 10 returning starters.

QUESTION MARKS
Can South Dakota State put up an impressive showing against Kansas?
South Dakota State is 0-4 against Football Bowl Subdivision (former Division 1) opponents since moving to the FCS in 2004. A win against Kansas would give the Jackrabbits some bragging rights in their conference. This Saturday marks the Jackrabbits first chance to avenge their 85-6 loss to Kansas 65 years ago. That is also the only meeting between the teams, and the last time the Jayhawks scored 80 points in a game.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Number of touchdowns South Dakota State allowed the last time these two teams met, an 86-6 Jayhawk victory in 1947.
Senior tight end Seth Daughters looks to bounce back this year after catching three passes for 19 yards in last year's season opener against Southern Utah before suffering a season knee ending injury. Daughters is one of five captains on the team and has high expectations.
Number of wins the Jackrabbits have in season openers under John Stiegelmeier
AT A GLANCE
The Jackrabbits are more of a passing team and have not found much success on the ground. Last season, the Jackrabbits had two receivers with more than 900 yards receiving. One of the two, Aaron Rollin, will return with the Jackrabbits. The former Lee's Summit West high school player led the team in receiving touchdowns with seven and looks to establish himself as the clear number one receiver this season.
MOMENTUM
Despite losing four of their first five games to start the 2011 season, the Jackrabbits finished the season on a strong note, winning their final three games to finish the season with a 5-6 record. The Jackrabbits hope to continue that streak into 2012.
COACHING
Josh Stiegelmeier enters his 15th year as the head coach of his alma mater, South Dakota State. He served nine seasons as an assistant with the Jackrabbits before being promoted to head coach. In his 15 years at the helm, Stiegelmeir has posted a 93-72 record, and led the team to their first playoff appearance in 30 years in 2009.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Sophomore kicker Justin Syrovatka connected on only six of 10 field goals last season. The Jackrabbits offense may consider going for it on fourth down rather than punt the football if they are in Jayhawks territory and the game is still close. Aaron Rollin and Dom Wright, both products of Lee's Summit, Mo., will be the primary returners on special teams. Wright returned 10 kicks and four punts last year as the backup retainer. He is replacing Zach Zenner, who returned kicks for the Jayhawks last season but will focus more on his role as the starting running back this year.
STARTING LINEUP
DEFENSE
Senior defensive back Bo Helm and junior defensive back Winston Wright are both captains and leaders of the defense. Helm tied for second on the team in pass breakups with four and sixth in tackles with 55. Wright led the team with three interceptions and seven pass breakups and earned second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference honors last season. The Jackrabbits will run a standard 4-3 defense to counter the Jayhawks pro-style offense attack.

TOP NEWCOMERS:
The 2012 recruiting class will be noticeable on both sides of the line of scrimgime. Three-star recruits defensive end Pierre Aka and offensive lineman Daniel Burton lead the Cyclones rookies. Two factors will determine their playing time. Iowa State has most of last year's starters returning which would put Burton and Aka on the bench, but if the
Cyclones have a repeat of their poor play in 2011 the two could jump up the depth chart sooner than expected.
Iowa State rocked the BCS when they became the only team to beat Brandon Weeden, Justin Blackmon and Oklahoma State last year, but that's where the accolades begin to cease. A failed attempt to capture the 2011 Pinstripe Bowl has seemingly put the Cyclones back to square one. Coach Paul Rhoads continues to try to figure out how to get his team to work as consistently well as they did against the Cowboys, and with a vast majority of last year's starters returning he should have a better grasp on how to jump up the Big 12 Standings.
OVERVIEW:
After getting pulled in week seven last season, Steele Jantz is back under center, but for how long this time? His replacement in 2011, Jared Barnett returns to the Cyclones for his sophomore season and will look to win over coach Rhodes. If Jantz can't get it done in his senior season, look for Iowa State to go all in on Barnett to increase his experience and leadership skills.
THEY SAID IT:
"You go into living rooms and you go into schools and on the practice fields this spring and the Iowa State brand is recognized on a national level probably more so than it's ever been."

PARALYMPICS
Physical limitations take backseat
Edited by Sarah McCabe
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — "Enlightenment" was the theme, physicist Stephen Hawking the guide and Olympic Stadium the venue Wednesday night as London welcomed 4,200 athletes from more than 161 nations to the 2012 Paralympic Games.
Who better to greet Paralympians than a scientist who has shown the world that physical disabilities do not limit human potential?
"The Paralympic Games is about transforming our perception of the world. We are all different, there is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same human spirit," said Hawking, who was given two years to live in 1963 after he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
"What is important is that we have the ability to create ... however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at," he added.
The extravaganza, directed by Bradley Hemmings and Jenny Sealey, was billed as a voyage across "a sea of ideas" — including Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, the force that all Earth-bound athletes strive against. The show included 73 deaf and disabled professional performers and 68 disabled people among its 3,250 volunteers.
The gala opened with a look at the Big Bang — considered the beginning of the universe — as a glowing sphere turned the stadium into a giant nebula.
In a nod to the famously erratic British weather, umbrellas were a central theme. Seeing performers with no legs beneath the knee doing an aerial flips carrying umbrellas could inspire the most ardent couch potato.
"Sport is about what you can do, what you can achieve, the limits you can reach, the barriers you can break. Sport shows what is possible. Sport refuses to take no for an answer." Coe told the audience of 60,000.
Sebastian Coe, chief of the London organizing committee, issued a big welcome home "to a movement that shows what sport is all about."
The London event is on track to be the most-watched Paralympics ever, with 2.5 million tickets expected to be sold by the time it ends Sept. 9.
As the athletes paraded in under a full moon, a huge roar filled the stadium for South African flag-bearer Oscar Pistorius, the spinner who is making history by running in both the Olympics and the Paralympics this year. Glittery ticker tape and a standing ovation then greeted the enormous British
team as they entered to the David Bowie song "Heroes."
The parade took nearly an hour longer than expected, with athletes arriving in dozens of ways. Some came in motorized carts, others wheeled themselves in, still others were pushed by coaches or volunteers. They walked in with canes or crutches, eye patches and sunglasses, prosthetic limbs and walking sticks, determined to make it
around the imposing stadium, welcomed by a global music mash-up by local DJs.
Blind soprano Denise Leigh then sang the tribute song "Spirit in Motion" and several Paralympians took flight in an elegant aerial display.
And of course, this being Britain, the words of Shakespeare once again made an appearance, with Miranda of "The Tempest."

TOP NEWCOMERS:
OVERVIEW:
The Oklahoma State Cowbirds are excited to see what tight end Blake Jackson can bring to their program. Transferring from Scottsdale Community College, Jackson pulled in 62 catches for 934 yards and 16 touchdowns. Coach Mike Gundy is excited to see how Jackson and returning wide receiver Tracy Moore do with Freshman quarterback Wes Lunt. Lunt could be the most intriguing newcomer to keep an eye on this season as he fills in for Brandon Weeden.
Oklahoma State, like Kansas, will have some new faces on offense this season. The Cowboys offense finished second in the nation in passing yards and points last season. Without Weeden and Justin Blackmon, the Cowboys know those numbers are not as attainable with a new and young quarterback.
Defensively, the Cowboys have a lot to look forward to with cornerbacks Justin Gilbert and Brodrick Brown returning. Gilbert and Brown tied for the second most interceptions in the conference with five. Bill Young, Oklahoma State defensive coordinator, knows that his defense can make some noise in the Big 12 with big plays by the cornerbacks and strong fight for turnovers this season.
STORY TO WATCH:
Since Gundy took over as the coach of Oklahoma State, the Cowboys have won at least seven games a season since 2006
and at least nine a season since 2008. The only year the team went under a 500 winning percentage was in his first year, 2005, with a 4-7 record. With new quarterback Lunt taking over, how will the Cowboys be successful, and can they continue to put up a large sum of wins?
THEY SAID IT:
"Wes has to understand his role and that he's got a number of players that can really help him get the ball to those guys, not try to do too much. He can't put a lot of pressure on himself. You can't perform well in any sport playing under pressure. And our defense has to pick up where they left off last year. There's a number of those guys that are back and they understand the importance of forcing turnovers."

TOP NEWCOMERS:
Notre Dame transfers quarterback Dayne Crist and quarter end Mike Ragone will be impact players right away for first year head coach
Charlie Weis, but they won't be the only first-year Jayhawks to ignite the offense. Running back Taylor Cox has moved up to number two on the depth chart and will look to provide a complementary bruiser to starter Tony
Pierson's burner.
OVERVIEW:
With its third coach in five years, Kansas and coach Charlie Weis look to build a program that can sustain success long after Weis' five-year contract expires. Weis has brought
in a bevy of transfers and junior college players in hopes of jolting the
Jayhawks on all sides of the ball, but the real challenge will be to bring in top recruits to fit the NFL-style coaching scheme that Weis, and defensive coordinator Dave Campo, brought to Lawrence.

Backups coming through for 'Skins
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANDOVER, Md. — On his first full day on the job as the kicker for the Washington Redskins, Billy Cundiff made three of four field goal attempts — and was booed for the one he missed — making him the only first-stringer to do something noteworthy in Wednesday night's 30-3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"We'll look at it one more time."
The second-, third- and fourthteamers were vying for roster spots
Cundiff, signed Tuesday after the Redskins cut Graham Gano, converted from 39, 27 and 22 yards and got some grief from the crowd when he sliced one wide right from 46. The 2010 All-Pro, who joined Washington just two days after being released by the Baltimore Ravens, launched five of his six kickoffs for touchbacks.
With head coaches Mike Shanahan and Greg Schiano resting nearly all of their offensive and defensive starters, the teams gathered before a modest crowd and proved that the backups from one consensus last-place team can beat the backups from another consensus last-place team, for whatever that's worth.
"We'll look at time."

ahead of Friday's mandatory cuts, while the starters are already looking ahead to the regular season openers on Sept. 9.
Roy Helu Jr and Evan Royster, who both might have a shot as the Redskins' starting running back job because of injuries, returned from alliments of their own to account for all three of Washington's touchdowns. Helu ran for 90 yards and two scores after missing two games with sore Achilles, while Royster ran for 44 yards and a TD after missing last week's game with a right knee.
No. 2 overall draft pick Robert Griffin III was declared the Redskins starting quarterback before training camp, so the Heisman Trophy-winner ran with the other first-treamers on the field before the game. He then watched fourth-round selection Kirk Cousins play into the third quarter and complete
Meanwhile, first-year coach Schiano took the backup theme to the extreme by using his reserve long snapper, a decision that became apparent when Zack Pianato sent a bouncer to the punter at the end of Tampa Bay's first offensive series. Pianato had two other low snaps, showing he's no threat to unset regular snapper Andrew Economos.
The Redskins decided to go with Cundiff before he had even practiced with the team, judging him off his body of work with the Ravens and figuring it to be an upgrade over Gano, who missed an NFL-high 10 field goal attempts last year — five of them blocked. However, Cundiff struggled with long-distance kicks last year, going 1 for 6 on 50-plus.

of 17 passes for 222 yards and an interception. Jonathan Crompton, signed earlier in the day after being cut Monday, finished the game.
Brett Rattliff, third on the depth chart behind Josh Freeman and Dan Orlovsky, played the entire game for the Buccaneers and was sacked five times. He completed 14 of 30 passes for 164 yards and three interceptions.
The game had other moments that showed why these players won't likely be featured when the games count for real. Cousins and Ratliff threw interceptions on consecutive plays. Washington receiver Brandon Banks lined up as running back on a fourth-down play and dropped the handoff. Tampa Bay had just 6 yards rushing through three quarters.
Replacement referee Jim Core contributed to the theme by checking a replay, announcing the call was upheld, then telling the crowd: "We'll look at it one more time."
Redskins running back Tristan Davis and cornerback Richard Crawford both left the game with right knee injuries.

Pittsburgh Pirates' Pedro Alvarez, left, rounds the bases past St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Dare Freese (23) after hitting a two-run homer in the third inning of the baseball game on Tuesday, in Pittsburgh.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Pedro Alvarez stayed hot, blasting his 26th homer of the season and driving in three runs as the Pittsburgh Pirates rolled to a 5-0 victory over St. Louis on Wednesday night.
The third baseman — who hit two homers on Tuesday — continued his season-long dominance of the Cardinals. His three-run shot in the third gave him seven home runs and 23 RBI in 15 games against St. Louis this year as Pittsburgh moved within one game of the NL's second wild card spot.
Wandy Rodriguez (9-13) worked six tidy innings for Pittsburgh to pick up his first victory as a starter since being acquired in a trade last month. Rodriguez walked three and struck out three while helping the Pirates shut out the Cardinals for the second straight night.
If the two clubs are tied for the second wild card spot at the end of the regular season, the Pirates would have host the play-in game.
Joe Kelly (4-6) battled control problems during five rocky innings, giving up five runs on eight hits.
The victory helped the Pirates take the season series from St. Louis 8-7, not an insignificant number with both teams battling for a postseason berth.
PAGE 9B
There's still a long way to go before the first week of October, particularly for Pittsburgh. Still, the Pirates will head into September still in the mix, something they haven't done in 20 years.
The former first-round pick has finally developed into the lineup-anchoring power hitter the team envisioned when it drafted him four years ago. He's certainly feasted on St. Louis pitching this season, going 23-
Pittsburgh appeared to be teering on the edge of collapse following a 4-3 loss on Monday that dropped the Pirates three games back. They responded with a pair of convincing wins being the streaky Alvarez.

for-58 (.396).
The blast gave the Pirates a 4-0 lead and Alvarez made it 5-0 in the fifth when he doubled with two outs and scored on a single by Josh Harrison.
Rodriguez took advantage of
the cushion. He came in 0-4 as a starter with the Pirates after being acquired from Houston on July 24. His only victory came in two relief injuries during Pittsburgh's 19-inning victory in St. Louis on Aug. 19.
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle blamed part of Rodriguez's problems on the pressure of trying to validate the trade. Hurdle urged the veteran lefthander to relax, and Rodriguez looked at ease playing with a sizable lead for the first time as a Pirate.

Rays over Rangers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Evan Longoria homered twice, Tampa Bay roughed up Matt Harrison and the Rays beat the Texas Rangers 8-4 Wednesday night to snap a four-game losing streak.
After dropping the last two against the AL-West leading Rangers by one run, the Rays avoided the three-game sweep.
Harrison (15-8) allowed seven runs and 12 hits in 5 1-3 innings. He took a no-hitter into the seventh and permitted two hits in eight shutout innings in his last outing Friday night against Minnesota.
Tampa Bay had scored only 11 runs during their losing skid before breaking out for 16 hits against Texas.
Longoria hit a two-run homer in the first and a solo shot in the ninth. B.J. Upton had a three-run home run and Elliot Johnson added a solo blast.
jeff Keppinger went 4 for 5 and Ben Zobrist had three hits for the Rays.
Jake McGee (5-2) pitched a perfect sixth and five Tampa Bay relievers combined for 4 1-3 scoreless innings.
Josh Hamilton hit his 36th home run for Texas, a solo shot that brought Texas within 6-4 in the fifth.
The Rangers wrapped up a 10-game homestand with a 7-3 record.
Harrison gave up seven runs and a career-high 14 hits in an 8-4 loss to the Rays on April 27.
Zobrist's RBI double in the first snapped a 13-inning scoreless drought.
Longoria drove a 3-1 fastball from Harrison 409 feet to center. The two-run shot extended Tampa Bay's lead to 3-0. Longoria is 6 for 9 with three home runs against Harrison in the regular season.
In the second inning, Sam Fuld tripled with one out and Desmond Jennings walked to set the stage for Upton.
After Texas pitching coach Mike Maddux visited Harrison. Upton lined a fastball into the seats in left for his 16th home run of the season.
Johnson led off the sixth with a home run and Harrison was chased out of the game two batters later.
It was the first time Harrison allowed three home runs in a game since April 21, 2010 against Boston.
BASEBALL
Texas' Mitch Moreland hit a two-run homer in the second, his 15th of the season. Nelson Cruz's RBI groundout got the Rangers to within 6-3.
Hamilton's 424-foot shot landed in the upper deck in right and gave him 112 RBIs, which leads the maiors.
Rays starter Alex Cobb allowed eight hits and four runs in 4 2-3 innings.
Brewers edge out Cubs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Mike Fiers tossed 7-1-3 solid innings to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-1 win over the Cubs on Wednesday night, their eighth straight victory against Chicago.
Fiers (8-6) held the Cubs to four hits and struck out six, helping Milwaukee beat its division rival for the 13th time in 16 games this season. The Brewers have won eight of their last nine overall and moved within five games of .500 for the first time since July 21.
Fiers sent down 14 straight batters at one point and won his second straight start, but Milwaukee's streak of eight straight games with at least 10 strikeouts came to an end. It was the longest such streak since 1900.
John Axford finished up for his 22nd save in 30 chances.
Jeff Samardzija (8-12) gave up seven hits and three runs — two earned — in seven innings for the Cubs. He struck out 10 for his third double-digit strikeout game of the season.
Jean Segura stroked a go-ahead single in the seventh and scored an insurance run when Chicago committed two errors after Segura's steal of second base.
Norichika Aoki and Ryan Braun had two hits apiece for Milwaukee.
Bryan LaHair singled and scored on Darwin Barney's fielder's choice in the second for the Cubs' only run. Chicago has dropped 22 of 28 and has scored two runs or less 11 times in August.
Samardzija has received two runs or fewer of support while on the mound in nine of his last 10 starts, but has lasted at least seven innings in eight of those outings.
The bumbling Cubs fell to 31 games under .500, their worst mark since Sept. 30, 2006, and looked the part during Milwaukee's two-run rally in the seventh that was aided by three errors.
Nyjer Morgan reached on a bunt single and went to second when Samardzija's throw sailed up the right field line. He went to third when Samardzija uncorked a wild pitch, and scored on Segura's solid single to left.
Segura stole second and dashed for third when Wellington Castillo's throw bounced past Starlin Castro. Barney backed up the play and threw to third, but Luis Valbuena missed the ball, allowing Segura to score.
Barney was initially charged
with the second error on the play, but after the inning the official scorer gave the miscue to Valbuena.
That allowed Barney to extend his streak of consecutive errorless games at second base to 114 games, breaking the National League record of 113 games set by San Diego's David Eckstein in 2010. The major league record is 141 games, established by Detroit's Placido Polanco in 2007.
NOTES: The Cubs named Brandon Hyde the club's director of player development, promoting him from his role as minor league field coordinator. Hyde, 38, joined the Cubs during the offseason after spending nine years in the Marlins organization. He will assume the duties of former vice president of player development Oneri Fleita, who was fired on Aug. 15. ... Former Cubs reliever Scott Maine was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. Maine was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Monday. ... LaHair entered the game hitting just .164 (12 for 73) since making the NL All-Star team for the first time. LaHair had a streak of reaching base 32 straight games from April 8 to May 15 earlier this season.

WEEKEND WARRIOR DERRYBERRY
By Dylan Derryberry
dderryberry@kansan.com
In case you don't have Facebook friends literally counting down the days until college football begins via CAPITALIZED and Exclaimed! posts, this weekend marks the first home game for the jayhawks. While many will go for at least half of the game, not all will make it out to Memorial Stadium to cheer on the team, and for good reason: tailgating is a lot of fun.
Now tailgating doesn't have to be in some random person's backyard with lawn golf and beer pong (although that scenario is common), but it can pretty much take place anywhere. Get your friends together and go to one of many locations that are offering specials on food, drinks (for those of age) and a good time.
I'll be checking out The Wheel
on 507 West 14th St. This is one of Lawrence's oldest bars and perhaps the most well-known. Many Kansas alumni have graced this establishment, and Saturday Night Live even featured The Wheel in a skit with Jack Black a few years ago. The place is sure to be packed, so get there early for a good time. Also, don't forget to stop by an ATM, because this place is cash-only.
Whether you're an avid football fan or someone who couldn't care less about sports, tailgating offers the chance for everyone to unite and celebrate the glory of our fine university. Have pride in our school; we're paying enough money to be here.
However, The Wheel does ride a fine line between students and alumni, so if you're looking for something a little less intense, check out Saints on 2329 Iowa Street. The non-downtown location offers 50 cent wings all day and 42 flat-screen TVs for all your viewing pleasure.
It's also Labor Day weekend, which of course means last minute trips to the lake, grilling out and, of course, no school on Monday. For me, though, it means nearly drowning in a pit of foam with
hundreds of other semi-clothed people Sunday night. It's kind of a tradition for me.
Yes, this Sunday marks the annual UV Bubble Bath at The Hawk, and based on the past two years that I have attended, it's definitely an experience worth checking out. Despite some older students' opinions of the bar, this event offers a unique chance to get out and meet new people all while knee deep in foam. The doors open at 9 p.m., and two dollar drink specials will run all night long, a better deal than most weekend bars. Come out, wear your swimsuit, pack your money and ID in a plastic bag and enjoy a Sunday night of partying.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Sure we're only two weeks into the school year, but with everything that's going on this weekend we'll all need the Monday off to recuperate. Take the chance this weekend to get out, have some fun and build relationships with the people around you. There's a reason your parents tell you college is the best time of your life: They're really jealous of you.

The University of Kansas Core Transition Committee met Tuesday to discuss revisions to the general education requirements for undergraduate students, including potentially removing Western Civilization I and II courses.
The committee spoke about the new interdisciplinary goals for general education, that will help students enroll in courses that better suit their major. This multi-year process will reevaluate several core classes to determine whether or not they meet specific criteria. Among the courses most likely to change are Western Civilization 1 and II and Humanities courses, which are required for all Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of General Studies and Bachelor of Science seeking students.
---
"There are certain skills we want students to have, and this process will determine if a class can be improved or changed to teach those skills," Zimdars-Swartz said.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN PHOTO ILLUSTRATION
However, the possibility of removing Humanities and Western Civilization from the curriculum requirements has left students like Michael Engelken, a junior from Olathe, wondering how the changes could affect students who have previously completed these courses.
"If they change the requirement I will feel a little cheated," Engelken said. "Those six credit hours could have been well spent elsewhere."
A detailed criteria was developed by members of the Core Transition Committee and other campus faculty during the spring 2012 semester. The six educational goals, determined by KU Core, outline the necessary skills and knowledge that the University's core classes should encompass.
ered to students, whether to use large or small class sizes, and the necessity of requirement itself," said Professor Sandra Zimdars-Swartz, director of the Humanities and Western Civilization program. "This gives us a chance to establish the curriculum for these two courses in relation to the University's new educational goals."
Humanities and Western Civilization I and II, which
are principle course requirements, critically examine literary masterpieces ranging from Aristotle and Geoffrey Chaucer to Charles Darwin. The courses aim to bridge vast periods of history through popular themes in Western literature.
"Over the next year we will
Though the future of these courses remains uncertain, no changes will be made to the general education requirements until fall 2013.
