Officials look for KU alumnus thought missing in Colorado
ALAMOSA, Colo. — A search was under way Friday for a man who may be missing in the Great Sand Dunes National Monument, northeast of Alamosa.
The car of Jason Loving, 29, of Arapahoe County, has been in the monument's parking lot since at least Oct. 22, said Carol Sperling, chief of interpretation and visitor services at the monument.
License plates for the car were linked Oct. 24 to a missing persons report filed in Oskaloosa, Kan., where Loving's parents live, Sperling said.
Park rangers, dog teams and search and-rescue squads were working Friday with the Civil Air Patrol to look for Loving.
Sperling said Loving apparently had been at the campground Oct. 19 and this Sunday.
Loving received a bachelor's degree in engineering in 1997 and a master's degree in civil engineering in 2000 from the University of Kansas.

Robinson capital murder trial deliberations begin
OLATHE — Six men and six women began deliberations yesterday in the multiple-murder case against John E. Robinson Sr., 58, a man prosecutors described as placing no value on three women he is accused of killing.
Jurors were sequestered shortly before 11:30 a.m. to begin deliberations to decide if Robinson is guilty of capital murder for the deaths of two women found in 85-gallon barrels on his property in rural Linn County, 60 miles south of Kansas City.
Defense attorneys never admitted Robinson's guilt, but suggested that others may have been involved, citing the size of the barrels and complexity of the means used to conceal the crimes.
If convicted of capital murder, Robinson's trial moves to the sentencing phase, where the defense plans to present evidence that Robinson suffers from mental disease, including a bipolar mood disorder, characterized by pronounced mood swings.

University of Arizona student shoots three people, himself
TUCSON, Ariz. —A student flunking out of nursing school opened fire in a class at the University of Arizona on Monday, killing two professors and a third person before apparently killing himself, officials said.
The gunman was identified by university Vice Provost Elizabeth Irvin as Robert S. Flores, who had failed a pediatric nursing class and was struggling in a critical care class.
A university spokeswoman said the victims included two female professors. Police did not identify the victims, say how they died or describe their relationship to Flores.
The third victim was found by police later in another part of the building.
Flores, a Gulf War veteran, worked at the Southern Arizona Veterans Administration Health Care System as a licensed practical nurse, and was studying to become a registered nurse.

Four Guantanamo detainees pose no threat after release
KABUL, Afghanistan — The United States has released four al-Qaida and Taliban suspects from Guantanamo Bay, the first detainees to leave the island prison because they no longer pose a threat, officials said yesterday.
Three Afghan detainees were handed over Sunday to Afghan officials at Bagram Air Base, Red Cross and U.S. officials said. The fourth detainee, a Pakistani, was flown on to Pakistan.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld disclosed last week that the Pentagon was planning to release some prisoners after it was determined they were not candidates for prosecution, held no intelligence value and were not a threat to the United States and its allies.
The United States previously transferred an Afghan suffering from schizophrenia was sent back to Afghanistan and Yasser Esam Hamdi, 22, was flown to the United States in April after records showed he was an American citizen.
