Consumers may not just be wasting their money on pills or tablets, but they could be endangering their health if they take a supplement in place of a drug thinking it will have the same effect, the report concluded. Consumers rely on a supplements claims to determine whether the product will provide a desired effect, such as weight loss or immune support, the report said. Supplements that make disease claims could mislead con-
sumers into using them as replacements for prescription drugs or other treatments for medical conditions, with potentially dangerous results. The market for dietary supplements which can include anything from vitamin C tablets to capsules of echinacea is a huge one with hundreds of products. The inspector generals investigation focused on one segment that officials said is booming. Federal law doesnt require supplements to go through rigorous
testing to prove they are safe or even that they work. The Food and Drug Administration can act only after consumers get sick or a safety issue comes to light. The Office of Inspector General found that in numerous cases, when companies did submit evidence to back up their health claims, it fell far short of government recommendations.

The winerys owners, Greg and Charlee, have a goal to make good wine from Kansas grown fruit. counties lost residents between 2000 and 2010. Kansas is losing its population, and the wine industry employs a lot of people, Martin said. Martin also said if the grapegrowing and winemaking industry were to grow, a boost in tourism would follow, which would lead to an establishment of more restaurants, bed and breakfasts and hotels. A lot of people cant afford to take a vacation in Europe, but they can afford to make a wine trail trip and spend two, three or four days away from home, Martin said. This can help revitalize the local economy. Both Martin and Sollo said there is more work to be done before there can be a booming winemaking market in Kansas. Sollo said that, along with further decreases in the Kansas-grown grapes requirement, there needs to be an established identity for Kansas wine something he and other viticulturists are searching for. Missouri has its Norton, Indiana has its Cabernet, Burgundy has its Pinot Noir, what does Kansas have? Were still searching, Sollo said. Were still young. Edited by Sarah McCabe

BELGRADE, Serbia Serbias police on Wednesday banned a Gay Pride march in Belgrade, citing security concerns but also complying with a request from Serbias Christian Orthodox church. Police said they were banning the march planned for Saturday because they feared a repeat of the violence in 2010, when right-wing groups attacked a Gay Pride event in Belgrade. That triggered day-long clashes with the police which left more than 100 people injured. Last years Gay Pride march also was banned by authorities. The current ban was announced after Patriarch Irinej, the head of Serbias Christian Orthodox church, urged the government to prevent Saturdays march. In a statement, he said such a parade of shame would cast a moral shadow on Serbia a conservative Balkan country whose gay population has faced threats and harassment. Allowing a Gay Pride march this year had been regarded by some as a test of Serbias pledge to respect human rights as it seeks European Union membership. That was clear

Secretary-General Thorbjoern Jagland of the Council of Europe, the continents main human rights body, said he was surprised and disappointed that the pride event has been banned again. Citizens should be able to exercise their rights of freedom of assembly and freedom of expression, he said. Serbia should be in a position to safeguard such an event, which is commonplace in modern democracies. Amnesty International said the ban puts Serbia in breach of its own laws. Serbias government is effectively going against its own legal and constitutional protections for basic rights such as freedom of expression

Syrian security officers gather at the scene in front of destroyed buildings where triple bombs exploded at the Saadallah al-Jabri square, in Aleppo city, Syria, on Wednesday, oct. 3. tling with regime troops since July. Syrias largest city and a major commercial hub, Aleppo was for a long time free of the violence that engulfed much of the rest of the country, but now has been devastated as rebels try to wrest a major strategic prize from the regime of President Bashar Assad. The bloodshed is increasingly spreading outside Syrias borders. On Wednesday, a shell fired from inside Syria landed on a home in neighboring Turkey, killing at least three people, including a 6-year-old boy, said Abdulhakim Ayhan, mayor of the Turkish town of Akcakale. Turkeys state-owned Anadolu Agency reported angry townspeople marched to the mayors office to protest the deaths. In Aleppo, footage broadcast on state-run Ikhbariya TV showed massive damage around Saadallah al-Jabri Square, which also houses a famous hotel and a coffee shop that had been popular with regime forces.

have been leveled to the ground. The facade of another was heavily damaged. Syrias state-run SANA news agency said the bombings early Wednesday killed at least 34 people and wounded 122, blaming the attack on terrorists. It was like a series of earthquakes, a shaken resident told The Associated Press by telephone. It was terrifying, terrifying. The resident said the officers club and the hotel were almost completely destroyed. His account could not be immediately verified. The resident declined to be identified for fear of reprisals. A Syrian government official said the number of deaths would likely increase because many of the wounded were in critical condition. Regime troops killed two more would-be suicide bombers before they could detonate their explosives, he said on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations. Syrian state TV showed the bodies of three men wearing army uniforms at the site of the explosions. One of them appeared to be wearing an explosive belt with a timer tied to his wrist. Aleppo-based activist Mohammad Saeed said the explosions went off minutes apart at one of the citys main squares. He said the blasts appeared to have been caused by car bombs and were followed by clashes and heavy gunfire. The area is heavily fortified by security and the presence of shabiha, he said, referring to pro-regime gunmen. It makes you wonder how car bombs could reach there. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said at least 40 people were killed and around 90 wounded in the four blasts, most of them members of the regime forces.

group own smartphones, then you probably arent in one of my classes this semester. The other day I looked over to my right and saw five girls all in a row on their smartphones. Nearly the entire row in front of them was doing the exact same thing. You would think they were all on a secret mission of the utmost urgency but in fact, they were probably just reading celebrity gossip or sports stats. Smartphones are addictive. They nag you to check your text messages, e-mails, browse the Internet, play Temple Run, glance at the time but really youre checking your text messages and the list goes on. That zombie look that we have when were engrossed in our favorite show or on our laptops is now an expression we have

when looking at smartphones. I often compare the mannerisms and habits of people around me with the people I encountered this summer while studying abroad in Paris. Sure there were people on their phones but most of them, and Im including millennials, were reading a book, enjoying a conversation face-to-face or soaking up the scenery. We may not have any world-famous
landmarks designed by Gustave Eiffel to gawk at, but it doesnt mean we need to be glued to our smartphones. The Internet is the number one source millennials go to for their news, so I understand how smartphones play a big role in our lives. Heck, I just received the new iPhone 5 in the mail, so I can be grouped with young adults who own smartphones, but when they distract us, their smart features make us dumb. I own a smartphone, and will probably always own one, because I like the ability to send an email, text and find information in a hurry, but when Im busy, I put my phone down. When a product that is meant to be helpful becomes a distraction, its time to
turn the phone off; not all the way of course, just the screen and join the world in front of your blinking, non-zombie eyes. I believe that just as there are smart features to a smartphone, there are dumb features too. These features are the ones companies dont advertise, ranging from texting while driving, talking on the phone in the library, and surfing the web during class. I can say that I carry a smartphone and have the ability to turn it off, but what about you? Montano is a senior majoring in journalism from Topeka. Follow him on Twitter @MikeMontanoMe.

couple of weeks ago, Harvard professor Karen L. King discovered a centuries-old scrap of parchment that mentions Jesuss wife, a find that is being hailed as the greatest feat of archaeology since an Oxford researcher recovered an enormous bar tab from a restaurant in Cairo last November. While King wrote in her paper that the discovery doesnt provide evidence of Jesus being married, Id be willing to bet that high-ranking clergymen are storming around the Vatican right now, cursing her name and shouting, Do you have any idea about the rewrites well have to do? I cant say for sure that theres going to be new Gospels about Jesus lounging around the house with his wife and kids, but I have taken the liberty to write three new texts from an upcoming Gospel of Mom.

he void in my heart has yet to be filled. Ive tried to ignore the fact that its gone, but Im still left empty every April through October. Ive rooted for the Jayhawk football team every Saturday and noted volleyball scores in the Kansan. And Monday Night Football is always good. But any University of Kansas student, especially the new freshman walking around campus, should know that there is no place like Allen Fieldhouse. Believe it or not, there are actually students that have never attended a game at the Fieldhouse. Allen Fieldhouses atmosphere is unlike any other stadium in the nation. Students spend weeks camping to get the best seats in the house. If that doesnt say something about the pure dedication and love the students have, then I dont know what does. The moment you walk in, you can feel the students excitement. From students ripping up paper confetti, to saying the eerie Rock Chalk Chant (theres no woo, by the way) theres never a dull moment. Once tipoff starts, the place is deafening. Oh, and dont even think about sitting down. Even if you arent a sports fan, youre missing out. I think every student should experience at least one basketball game, if not more. Being in Allen Fieldhouse, you feel so united with your fellow classmates. To see thousands of students go absolutely crazy for their team and be nationally recognized as one of the best student sections is a big deal. A day after a big win, the campus is always so full of joy. For me, I can just feel the positive energy radiate through Jayhawk Boulevard. For non-basketball fans, it may seem

The Blackberry Bushes Stringband are a bluegrass from Olympia, wash. They will be performing in lawrence on Oct. 7 at americana music academy. Jes spoke about how Blackberry Bushes is an ongoing project, and for an artist to leave the group is natural for them. I think that keeping one group together over the long haul is a really challenging thing to do, especially with one project, Jes said. We keep a core group, but the band kind of expands and contracts as it needs to. However, Kendl has always been a vital member, and her absence will be probably the biggest change that the band has faced so far, Jes said. Kendl and I have always been

rwright@kansan.com Lorin Ashton, otherwise known as Bassnectar is bringing his Fall 2012 tour here to Lawrence at Burcham Park this Friday, Oct. 5. Bassnectar is no stranger to Lawrence, as hes made stops here for the last few years. Fresh off releasing an album earlier this year and a recent five-week tour in Europe, Lawrence is the sixth stop on the fall tour. Ghostland Observatory, Gramatik and Gladkill will also perform at the concert. Bassnectar is a top artist in the breakbeat/dubstep community; through a series of album releases, EPs and remixes, hes built a large fanbase. The freeform DJ is known for his bright, high-energy live performances and his engagement with his fans (often replying to their questions on Twitter). This year has been busy for Ashton, who released his ninth solo album, a free mixtape featuring unreleased content, and embarked on two tours. Bassnectar is known for his considerable touring, playing hundreds of shows the last few years. His latest album, Vava Voom, has been his most experimental yet, collaborating with artists of other genres such as Lupe Fiasco. The DJ is also a supporter of free press and nonprofit organizations; he launched the Dollar per Bass Head campaign, which takes a dollar from every Bassnectar ticket sold and donates it to a nonprofit organization of the fans choice. Fans across campus are getting excited for Bassnectars performance. Bassnectar just gets the people going, you know? said Noah Benham, a freshman from Lawrence. I love music with a lot of contrast, and Bassnectar achieves that really well. Alicia Croci, a sophomore from Ottawa, Kan., enjoys Bassnectars originality. I like how Bassnectars music is so different from what you hear on the radio, Croci said. Its really close to dubstep, and Im into the black-light techno dance music. Doors open at 5 p.m., music starts at 6 p.m., and the show is expected to end by 11:15 p.m. The Granada will be hosting an afterparty. Edited by Sarah McCabe

Youll learn quickly for the next few days. Communications and negotiations are more challenging (and more rewarding). Acknowledge others, and yourself. Stay out of somebody elses argument.

Finally, you can get yourself a little treat. Household chores are more enjoyable these days. And for this next phase, you learn from the competition. Dont give up.

For about four months, it pays to be a team player. Reconsider your responsibilities. Complete those that no longer serve. Grow others. Balance with joy and love.
Stash as much as possible for later. Plan a transformation effort. It gets annoying and confusing to choose between friends and family. Wait and review data.

Now, in one fell swoop, theyre trying to erase the last 30 years. Last week, musicians and management at symphony orchestras in Chicago and Atlanta reached new contracts after contentious negotiations. Atlantas musicians went without pay for a month before accepting $5.2 million in compensation cuts over two years, plus reductions in their ranks. The Chicago deal came after a two-day strike that forced the cancellations of the seasons first Saturday night show.

COMMENTARY
By Kory Carpenter
ts a scene thats been duplicated for years. Football season starts, Kansas isnt any good, and rival fans recycle what I guess they consider to be a good oldfashioned zinger. Its OK, its almost basketball season, people say while pointing and laughing at the scoreboard or a Kansas fan with the win or lose, we still booze shirt still prevalent on Jayhawk Boulevard. Im just wondering why thats considered an insult from our friends at Kansas State or Missouri. I guess its all a matter of opinion, but does being average instead of awful really do much for a school or fan base? What advantages does Wisconsins 28th all-time ranked basketball team have over Pittsburghs team, ranked 60th in the same ESPN rankings? What about Iowa football, which is ranked 25th in the all-time AP rankings over Oklahoma State, which is 51st on the same list? There arent any major advantages, because in college football and basketball, you have a group of a dozen or so elite programs and then everyone else. The only school who could claim elite all-time status in both sports is probably Ohio State. And Kansas fans are supposed to be embarrassed that they arent on par with the Buckeyes? Dont run from your one-program dominance. Embrace it. For a lot of schools across the country, theyre stuck hoping for one of their sports to escape the prison of average for a season or two while only dreaming they had a top-five football or basketball program to follow. This probably reads like one of those columns that rivals love to point to while making those clever taunts. I dont care, and neither should you. Late Night in the Phog is eight days away, and Kansas basketball is a top-10 team once again. Bill Self just signed a contract extension that will likely keep him on the sidelines for another decade. Hell bring another national championship and a few more Final Four banners to the Fieldhouse in that span while rival programs hope to accomplish a tenth of what Self has already accomplished at Kansas. As for Kansas football, Charlie Weis may turn things around in a few years and guide Kansas to a few middling bowls before his contract is up. History tells us he wont, though. And so what? Its OK for fans to hope for better while expecting the same. Last time I checked, fans dont have a say in the outcome of games. If they did, Id be writing this column from Vegas. So when you hear those taunts from K-State fans as the Wildcats score another touchdown on Saturday afternoon in Manhattan, take it as a compliment. They know youre going to experience this winter what they only hope to experience in their lifetimes. Edited by Ryan McCarthy

nfordyce@kansan.com As if playing in-state rival Kansas State wasnt enough to get the Kansas Jayhawks fired up, the fact that the Wildcats are ranked No. 7 in the nation just adds fuel to the fire. When the in-state rival is one of top teams in the country and having a Heisman hopeful in Collin Klein, it just adds extra motivation. Kansas senior safety Bradley McDougald said that having
Klein as a potential Heisman candidate and the fact the Wildcats are the No. 7 team in country gives them all the extra reasons to be motivated. But Kansas State being ranked as highly as they are doesnt bother McDougald because its still the in-state rival that is 83 miles west of Lawrence. They really could be ranked last in the BCS and we really wouldnt care, its Kansas State and you have to come with it, McDougald said. Especially against your rival cause some-
thing special is going to happen. Coming into a big rivalry game, the Jayhawks have a defensive coordinator in Dave Campo that knows a thing or two about rivalries. While he was a member of the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff, Campo was part of some of the biggest rivalries in the NFL and even more so within the NFC East. One of the things that Campo said about the Cowboys and their rivalries was the fact that their was no love lost, and he would like to see that return to the
Kansas-Kansas State rivalry. Id like to see this one be like that one all the time. I dont think thats been the case over the years, Campo said. This is our rival and Im excited to be a part of this big game. And it should be a big game. And if our guys arent thinking that way, theyre making a serious mistake. Because I know Kansas State is thinking that way. Even though Campo might not see the love lost, based on the Jayhawks current recordof 0-3 and being outscored 135-38
over the past three years, it still doesnt mean the Jayhawks like the Wildcats any less. Rivalries speaks for themselves and guys understand the history behind it, senior defensive end Toben Opurum said. You know you have to realize that the team over there doesnt like us too much. And we dont really like them a whole lot either. Edited by Stphane Roque
senior quarterback dayne Crist scrambles up the middle for a positive gain during a game against northern Illinois. Which brings Charlie Weis to the other reason he took away the red jerseys: finishing. According to Weis, hitting in practice is just the remedy.

in foul trouble. Howard is battling a bad back and wasnt supposed to be ready to play until December, but it looks as if hell be able to play for the season opener. Although this team looks unreal on paper, it must develop chemistry if the team wants to get past some of the other elite Western conference teams (Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Suprs) in the playoffs. Kobe doesnt have to take 30 shots a game. The Lakers are more balanced and the ball will be in Nashs hands a good amount, too. Nash is one of the best pick-and-roll players in the league and will be able to keep opposing defenses off-balanced. When running the pick-and-roll, Nash will have multiple options such as being able to drive to the basket, throwing the alley-oop to Howard, pulling up for a jumper if his defender gives him too much space, kicking the ball out to Gasol for an 18-foot jumpshot (that will most likely be wide open) or kicking it out to an open three-point shooter.
The former Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson led the team to 5 NBA championships.

If none of these options are available, which is not likely unless they are facing a great defensive team, then Nash can give it to Bryant on a post-up and let him go oneon-one. Once the chemistry for this team is in-sync they will be very dangerous, and Nash will likely put up some gigantic assist numbers. This new Lakers team cannot be selfish in order to be great this season, and I dont think they will. Kobes scoring should decrease from the past few seasons because of the additions of Howard and Nash. Look for his shooting percentage to go up, however, because Kobe will not have to force contested shots or shoot over double teams as much. This year Kobe should be able to make more plays in the role of a facilitator when he gets the ball. Kobe has always and will always continue to be a scorer first, but he will have to give the ball up more and let the two other superstars and role players display their talent. Being a facilitator is something Kobe is not necessarily known for, but his adjustment to be more of a facilitator is crucial for the teams success. I think Kobe will accept his role and not care about how many points he ends up with each game as long as the team gets a win. Its also essential that the trio (Kobe, Howard and Nash) get the role players more involved. This will help the role players confidence and will play a huge factor in how much they produce when coming off the bench. If one of the stars is being doubleteamed, struggling in the game or in foul
trouble, a role player can come in off the bench and be able to step up and fill in what ever role is needed. The Miami Heat are the favorites to repeat and win the title in the 2012-2013 season. The Lakers are the favorites to play the Heat in the NBA Finals because of the off-season All-Star acquisitions. However, the Thunder are not just going to lay over for the Lakers. They are now dangerous because even though they are still a young team, getting to the Finals last year showed the potential this team has. Kevin Durant is the leagues best pure scorer, and the Thunder feature a talented trio in James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Durant. This season features three or four dominant teams, and fans are excited for the season to get underway. Edited by Stphane Roque

Kansas state kick returner Tramaine Thompson (86) jumps over oklahoma linebacker Tom Wort (21) in the fourth quarter of a football game in Norman, okla. Kansas state won 24-19. B.J. Finney. Senior Cornelius Lucas, redshirt freshman Cody Whitehair, junior college transfer Tavon Rooks and junior Keenan Taylor have been counted on to pick up the slack. They work together so well, Snyder said. Pass protection, so much of it is communication prior to and after the snap of the football, being able to adjust to a variety of different things that can take place. Besides providing competent pass protection, the offensive lines discipline is a major reason why Kansas State has been assessed just eight penalties for 66 yards over four games. The Wildcats are far and away the best in the Big 12 at avoiding yellow flags the next team in line is Kansas, which has racked up 18 penalties for 129 yards.
ASSOCIAtED PRESS
Another boon to the passing game has been Kleins chemistry with his pass catchers. While the senior quarterback has worked extensively on his delivery since the summer, his most important reason for newfound success could be his relationships with those on the other end of his passes: wide receivers Tramaine Thompson, Tyler Lockett, Curry Sexton and Chris Harper. Snyder said the feel between quarterback and receiver, the comfort and familiarity that comes only with many repetitions, has developed between Klein and his teammates. Its having that good understanding of whos going to where and when and how theyre going to get there and when the balls going to get there, Snyder said.

OAKLAND, Calif. Josh Hamilton made one thing clear: The Texas Rangers will forget their stunning season-ending sweep at Oakland and regroup as an American League wild card. Texas needed one win against the upstart Athletics in three games, and didnt get it. You guys have a hard time believing we can forget about it and move ahead, Hamilton said. But thats what we get paid to do. Well go home, regroup and go figure out what we have to do. The Athletics captured the AL West with another improbable rally in a season full of them, coming back from four runs down and a 13-game division deficit to stun the two-time defending league champion Rangers 12-5 on Wednesday. Hamilton dropped a fly ball in center field for a two-run error that put the As (94-68) ahead 7-5 in a six-run fourth inning. The As only added to Texas troubles the rest of the way. You can have all the experience as you want but when you run into a team thats hot, experience has nothing to do with it, Rangers manager Ron Washington said. While Texas (93-69) is headed to the new one-game, wild-card playoff, the As get some time off before opening the division series in their first postseason appearance since 2006. Both teams had to wait to learn their opponents from a pair of night games: Boston at New York, and Baltimore at Tampa Bay. The As would earn the ALs No. 1 seed if the Yankees lose, and open the division series at the winner of Fridays wild-card playoff featuring the Rangers. If New York wins, Oakland would be the No. 2 seed and begin at Detroit. Texas squandered a five-game division lead in the final nine days. We knew this is a beast of a team we would have to beat, and to be able to beat them three games in a row and win the division on top of it, really its a magical type thing, manager Bob Melvin said. Grant Balfour retired Michael Young on a fly to center for the final out, then raised his arms in the air as the As streamed out of the dugout and began bouncing up and down in the infield. Oakland pulled off another remarkable performance in a season defined by thrilling walkoffs, rallies and whipped-cream pie celebrations by a team that was never supposed to be here. The As trailed Texas by 13 games on June 30. Now, the Rangers have all the pressure as they try to make another run deep into October. These are the same Rangers who twice came within one strike of the franchises first World Series championship before losing Games 6 and 7 to the wildcard St. Louis Cardinals. It was Texas second near miss in as many years after losing the 2010 World Series to the Giants. We have to go win that playoff game, Napoli said. We didnt come here to lose. They got it done and we didnt, plain and simple. Its going to be a tough road.

Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc spikes the ball during the second set against Iowa State Wednesday night Sept 26. Kansas won the second set 25-19.
Carmichael led the Jayhawks with 15 kills in the match, and Jarmoc finished with 14 kills and no attack errors. I was trying to get up early, Jarmoc said. I was just being really conscious of getting up in transition and telling Erin to feed me the ball. Kansas continued its strong offensive play in the third set,
and the defense joined in. The Jayhawks allowed zero service aces in the third set while scoring two aces of their own, eliminating the only area of the match where the Mountaineers could have an advantage against Kansas. They drive the ball deep, Jarmoc said. First contact is the name of the game in volleyball, because you cant do much without
having a good first contact. After winning the third set 25-14, Kansas used a 6-0 run to secure a 17-8 lead in the fourth set, effectively ending the Mountaineers hopes of forcing a fifth set. The Jayhawks defense notched four of its 12 blocks during the final set, including the final block of the match by Tolefree and McClinton to give the Jayhawks a 25-17 fourth
set victory. Despite hitting a dismal .000 in the first set, Kansas still outhit West Virginia .252 to .107. The victory advanced Kansas to 15-2 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12. Every season since 1996, Kansas has faced at least one ranked conference foe in the first three matches of conference play. This year, however, Kansas defeated that
ranked foe, which was No. 19 Iowa State. Its a really good feeling, said Jaime Mathieu, junior defensive specialist. Obviously now we have a big target on our back, but were ready to handle it and I think we can. Its exciting. Edited by Laken Rapier

DEFENSE
The Jayhawks defense has improved from allowing 43.75 points per game last year to giving up 23 points per game this season. But that improvement may begin to vanish this week. Kansas States offense is averaging 432 yards this season. That doesnt bode well for a Kansas team that allowed 403 yards against Rice.
After an injury scare with running back Taylor Cox during Kansas loss to Northern Illinois, Charlie Weis is reporting that all players are healthy and ready to go for Saturday. Cox was held out of the NIU game after getting hit in the first quarter. The Jayhawks well get a second opportunity to see what a healthy and full backfield can produce for them. Pos.

The Jayhawks continually get closer to gaining momentum, but then have to play the fourth quarter. Add Northern Illinois to the list of games Kansas should have won. The Jayhawks inability to close out games has cost them two wins this season and is hurting any chance of changing their status quo. Charlie Weis flat out said that Bill Snyder is a better coach than he, so we can rule out any decisive schematic advantage there. What Weis does have, however, is a few new plays that he has worked into the arsenal for this week. Weis said Kansas State has a very specific game plan he compared them to Navy, Air Force and Army and that you have to prepare strictly for it. Saturday well find out if Weis is ready.

Christian Matthews found his way into the NIU game and showed off his proficiency on the ground. The wide receiver recorded 43 yards on five carries while running the wildcat offense for Kansas. Weis hasnt said hell use the wildcat formation against Kansas State, but after the success against the Huskies there arent many reasons not to run it again.
At A GLANcE
With Missouri no longer a regular on the Jayhawks schedule, Kansas State becomes the premier game for Kansas. The Wildcats have toyed with their I-70 neighbors recently, scoring 59 points in each of their last two meetings. Charlie Weis has stressed the importance of this game to his players over the last two weeks including a history lesson on the series and is looking to make the hype around this game as big as when Kansas played Missouri.

Matthews
SPEcIAL tEAmS
The Jayhawks are entering their fifth game of the season and have yet to find any upgrade on kickoffs. Kansas has recorded only one touchback on kickoffs this year, while on the other side of the ball is averaging 17 yards per return. Not only is Kansas allowing good field position, its struggling to find any.
qUEStIoN mARKS
Kansas was able to use the wildcat formation effectively against Northern Illinois, how much of it will Weis use this weekend? And if Weis does return to Christian Matthews as the signal caller, will Weis allow him to throw? Matthews completed a three-yard pass against the Huskies, yet the wide receiver was originally recruited as a quarterback. Speaking of quarterbacks, how will the defense slow down Collin Klein? The senior has already gained 100 yards by using the ground and air this season, and he played a major role in taking down Oklahoma on the road. Will the Jayhawks be able to contain him?

Kansas State has a high-powered offense that opened up its first two games with over 50 points of scoring and are running strong all season. Charlie Weis said in his press conference earlier this week that quarterback Collin Klein reminds him a little bit of Tim Tebow. Klein is responsible for 10 touchdowns this year with five of them through the air and the other five on the ground. The Wildcats also have a reliable running back in John Hubert, who has rushed for 426 yards and four touchdowns this season. Both Klein and Hubert present a threat to the Jayhawks and their run defense. Pos.

deFeNse
Kansas State brings in a strong 4-3 defensive line full of veterans. Most notably, Kansas must contain Adam Davis, who leads the team in sacks with three and has four tackles for a loss of yards. Justin Tuggle has played well at linebacker lately, accumulating 1.5 tackles for a loss and a sack to limit Oklahomas offensive prowess. The player who Kansas State rallies around is middle linebacker Arthur Brown. Brown is third in the conference in tackles with 36. Coach Charlie Weis said in his press conference that it all starts with him on defense. Kansas State has given up 62 points in four games so far and hope to keep that total close to where it is now after Saturday.

Starting Lineup
cOachING
Bill Snyder is in his fourth season of his second tenure as the coach at Kansas State. He first started with the team in 1989 and coached the team to a 136-68-1 record before retiring in November 2005. Since his return, the Wildcats record has improved each season and they are the current favorites to win the conference, something they havent done since 2003.

PLayer TO WaTch
Receiver and kick returner Tramaine Thompson: Kansas State has not been identified for being a scary passing team this season. But with the holes Kansas has, Thompson is poised to have a field day against the Jayhawks. Thompson has a chance to light up the scoreboard on special teams and offense. He has returned Thompson one punt for a touchdown this season while being the top receiver for the Wildcats. With how the Jayhawks played in their non-conference schedule, they wont have it any easier when having to go up against Thompson.
mOmeNTum
Kansas State is coming off a bye week after a big road win against an Oklahoma team that was ranked No. 5 at the time. Since Bill Snyders second stint with the Wildcats, Kansas State has won all three meetings against Kansas, scoring 59 points in the last two games. Charlie Weis admitted that Kansas State has all the advantage, from coaching to personnel.
aT a GLaNce
Kansas States offense is sound and solid and made a lot of noise last week during their fourth quarter rally against Oklahoma. Coach Bill Snyder coaches his team in a balanced manner, looking to succeed in all three phases of the game and the Wildcats currently sit as the favorites to win the Big 12.

sPecIaL Teams
Anthony Cantele is a reliable kicker for Kansas State. Hes connected on five of his six field goal tries this year. The Wildcats are also pleased with their punter, Ryan Doerr, who managed to pin five of his eight punts inside the 20-yard line. But its the return game that gives their special teams a good name. Tyler Lockett helped Kansas State get on the scoreboard with a 96-yard kick return for a touchdown against North Texas.
quesTION marKs
Can the Wildcats utilize their passing game? Through four games, Kansas States run game looks very strong. Collin Klein leads the team in rushing touchdowns and John Hubert has ran for more than 400 rushing yards and four touchdowns. The Wildcats are 14th in the nation in rushing, and their passing game has not been bad. They just havent used it much and will need it later in the conference season. This would be a good time for Klein to be more active in the passing department. His season high of pass attempts came in week one against Missouri State where he threw 28 times.

Kaman Schneider
Kellum Schneider
Kennedy Schneider
brothers footsteps, Kellum graduated as valedictorian in 2010. As for the youngest Schneider, Kennedy won back-to-back state cross country titles her junior and senior seasons. Despite all the success the family has brought to the University,
they also look at the education and what it can do for them. We have a bar we want to reach, and its not just a bar for ourselves. We still have to apply to graduate schools, too, Kaman said. Theres an external expectation and a internal expectation from the family
and what we have for ourselves. Academically, its more encouraging than competitive. Growing up in Tribune, a small town near the Colorado border that is heavily focused on the agricultural career fields, the three had choices but selected Kansas because of the academic side. We all liked CU (University of Colorado) but its out of state, so its expensive. But the main reason we chose (the University) was because they have a really strong medicine department, Kaman said. I wanted to get away from agriculture. Its a better academic opportunity than K-State or somewhere else.
And since Kaman led the way to the University, Kellum followed and that made it easier for Kennedy to become a Jayhawk. This trio of siblings has more in common than running: They also enjoy all the same academic subjects. Kaman and Kellum are both majoring in genetics. Kennedy is undecided at the moment but is leaning toward the medicinal field. Weve always liked the exact same things, Kellum said. Kaman can come along and make the first decision, and we can learn from him. Edited by Laken Rapier

#8 WEST VIRGINIA 4-0 (1-0) AT #11 TEXAS 4-0 (1-0) IOWA STATE 3-1 (0-1) AT #15 TCU 4-0 (1-0)
TCU got its first dose of Big 12 play earlier this year. Now theyre prepped to host a conference match against Iowa State, a team that lost its first game of the season at home against Texas Tech last weekend. Iowa State Quarterback Steele Jantz threw for a season-high three interceptions and a season low of just 10 completed passes for 73 yards. Going up against Gary Pattersons TCU defense, Jantz will have trouble moving the football against the Horned Frogs. TCU is ranked second in the nation for fewest points given up, as its allowed 7.3 points per game this season. But the Horned Frogs also have a challenge ahead of them. Iowa States defense has given up only 14 points per game while impressing many teams in the process. If TCU quarterback Casey Pachall cant make plays on the Cyclones defense, this game could be closer than projected. In the end, Pattersons defense will try to use the home field to its advantage to pull out a win. TCU wins, 20-12 West Virginias Geno Smith played the game of his life last week in an insane shootout against Baylor after throwing for a schoolrecord eight touchdown passes and 656 passing yards. It is no secret to anyone that West Virginia will want to go pass-heavy with Smith against Texas. The Longhorns defense has to play mistake-free, which will be difficult against Smith, who has yet to throw an interception this season. Despite being undefeated, Texas has allowed more than 30 points in its last two games against Ole Miss and Oklahoma State. Texas quarterback David Ash earned the confidence of his teammates, and his offense wants to try and take advantage of West Virginias holes on defense after it gave up 63 points last week. Ash has thrown only one interception this season, but the Longhorns offense is ranked ninth in the nation in scoring. The Mountaineers defense has to prepare to not allow another offense burn up the scoreboard. Smith may throw his first interception of the season against Texas this week, but with wide receivers Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin on his side, West Virginia will survive on the road with another conference win. West Virginia wins, 38-31
