Goodyear might be to blame for tire problems
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — It's impossible to be perfect, to always get everything right and never fail at all.
To listen to Goodyear officials, the company never, ever comes up short at the race track.
It sure sounded like Goodyear thought it was off the hook on Sunday after a tire problem caused Dale Earnhardt Jr. to hit the wall while leading at Kansas Speedway. Then Brad Keselowski suffered a similar fate, and Kasey Kahne also thought an issue with his tires sent him into the wall.
It dropped all three drivers into the bottom of the Chase for the Sprint Cup standings, in serious jeopardy of elimination from the championship race in two weeks.
So what happened? Good-year director of racing Greg Stucker didn't have a definitive answer during Sunday's race but sure seemed to be pointing the finger at the race teams.
"We're trying to figure out exactly what the issue is with the teams. Obviously, a race like this in the Chase, everybody is kind of up on the wheel and really pushing the envelope," said Stucker, who hinted that "adjustments"
made as the race progressed led to issues that didn't exist during the first green-flag run.
Once again, we are led to believe this was not a Goodyear issue, but a problem with teams pushing the limits of their tires in an effort to capitalize in an important Chase race. Really? In a race where the risk was far greater than any expected reward?
Shame on Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske if they were so aggressive that their drivers are now in danger of not advancing to the third round of the Chase. And poor Kevin Harvick, who took note of his rivals' problems and feared he was next when his car suddenly struggled to turn as he was running third with a shot at the win. Harvick made an unscheduled pit stop — forfeiting any chance at victory — to get the tires off his car before they completely detailed his season.
Only he was wrong, the problem wasn't with his tires, and his paranoia led to an unsatisfying 12th-place finish. But, hey, Harvick got off easy. Kahne finished 22nd, Earnhardt was 39th and Keselowski 36th in a race won by teammate Joey Logano.
to disparage Goodyear, NASCAR's exclusive tire provider. Much ado was made earlier this season when Jimmie Johnson crew chief Chad Knaus sarcastically quipped on the team radio that tire problems at Bristol were surely "something we did. I'm sure it's our fault."
Drivers are very careful not
It forced Johnson into a meeting with Goodyear officials where the tire manufacturer and the driver privately agreed to disagree on the cause of his failure.
It put Johnson in no mood to be politically correct come New Hampshire in July, when two tire problems in the first 11 laps of the race ended his day.
"I'm expecting people to quickly point back at the team and say it's our fault," the six-time and defending NASCAR champion said that day.
Enough is finally enough. Yes, Goodyear must deal with repaved race tracks and changing rules, but it's implausible to believe Goodyear is never to blame (the company did accept fault for the 2008 debacle at Indianapolis). What's closer to the truth is that Goodyear's tire development, at times, is simply not acceptable for the top motorsports series in the United States.

hopeful the court will rule in favor of the LGBTQ community in Kansas after similar rulings in Oklahoma and Utah.
"I just wanted it now so people who are advocates can start advocating for whatever comes next," he said.
Though he won't be getting married anytime soon, McMilian said he has friends planning on getting married when same-sex marriage is finally legalized.
"I think that anytime something as important as [same-sex] marriage is legalized, it makes the culture better for all gay people," he said. "I hope that campus becomes safer. I hope it becomes more comfortable, more tolerant. I hope that Kansas becomes safer and more comfortable and more tolerant, because it's not just a KU thing, obviously, it's a Kansas thing."
McMillian thinks that once same-sex marriage is legalized in Kansas, it will help point campus culture regarding same-sex marriage in a positive direction.
Charles Dedmon and Michael Nelson, a married same-sex couple and KU alumni living in Kansas, have a pending lawsuit with the Kansas Department of Revenue to recognize their marriage. Dedmon and Nelson were married in California, but chose to live in their native state of Kansas hoping to help legalize same-sex marriage. For them, hearing their marriage may soon be recognized in their home state was shocking and just what they've been fighting for.
Dedmon said Nelson broke the news to him after they'd received an email from their attorneyabout the Supreme Court's decision. At first, they weren't quite sure what it meant or how itwould affect their lawsuit. Once they processed the news, however, they were thrilled.
"It's a great non-decision by the Supreme Court. Sometimes they do as much by not acting as they can by acting." Dedmon said.
Dedmon is unsure how this will affect the couple's lawsuit since they filed both state and federal claims, saying the federal government doesn't like to get involved with state law decisions.
Dedmon said that the denial will likely speed up the process. Although Dedmon and Nelson are already married, if same-sex marriage is legalized
in Kansas, they will be thrilled to celebrate with same-sex couples here. Dedmon said that they'd likely go to Topeka to stand on the steps of the Capitol in victory.
"All the people that don't have the energy, the time, the money to get involved in this litigation, but they do have enough money to get married, and they can come to Topeka," Dedmon said.

As previously stated, the University's IT Department helps students who have a problem connected with their University account. The department also provides an anti-virus software, Sophos Anti-Virus, that all students can download to help make their personal computers more secure.

University responds to fire drills
The Office of Public Safety conducted fire drills in Allen Fieldhouse, Anschutz Sports Pavilion and Wagnon Student Athlete Center on Monday, Oct. 6. The fire drills are performed to not only help students know what to do in an emergency situation, but to help maintenance check and ensure that all the lights, monitors, alarms and doors are working correctly.
While conducting the fire drill in Allen Fieldhouse, the public safety office and administration noticed the alarms in a certain area didn't shut off at the end of the drill, which is actually a good thing. It means that this fire drill served its purpose for making sure that everything was working, or
the building in a short amount of time." Andrew Foster, emergency management specialist for the Office of Public Safety, said. "It's not really an objective measure but a way for us to practice as best as possible."
By indicating a problem with certain alarms, the public safety office will now be able to ensure that everything will be in working order come an actual emergency. Foster said all of the drills ran smoothly and students showed a quick response in leaving the building.
Foster said the problem will be recorded and maintenance will be sent to fix it.
