bschuster@kansan.com After three years of futility against the in-state rival, Kansas coach Charlie Weis needed to try something different if he wanted to give his team any chance in the 111th Sunflower Showdown. So Weis changed up his practices by making it full contact for everyone-even the quarterbacks. Everything was full

speed, including going against my own normal patterns, Weis said. The quarterbacks were live the whole week, too. They probably hit more last week than they hit any week this entire season. There were two reasons for the change. Most importantly, the coaches felt the players needed to get better at finishing on all levels tackles, quarters and games.

Bug-eyed photo becoming a hit


ASSOcIAtED PRESS
DENVER The manager of a Denver Chipotle restaurant has become an Internet celebrity thanks to the wide-eyed pose he struck alongside Mitt Romney when the Republican presidential candidate stopped by for lunch. Marty Arps, 20, posed for a group photo with Romney and Chipotle employees Tuesday afternoon. Arps is seen making a wide-eyed expression while pointing at Romney. The Associated Press photo is being shared extensively on Twitter and is making the rounds on websites. Its a facial expression I do when Im excited, Arps told The Daily. He told the online publication he made the same expression when he met singer Nicki Minaj. Its like, Ah, its them, right there in front of you! Theyre not from another world, he said. Arps was not at work Wednesday, according to a Chipotle employee who answered the telephone. Romney seemed unaware of Arps pose and the mood was jovial, said AP photographer Charles Dharapak, who snapped the picture. It didnt seem awkward. Everyone was having a good time, Dharapak said. Romney ordered a pork burrito bowl with guacamole during a break from preparations for Wednesdays debate with President Barack Obama in Denver. He was joined by his debate training partner, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman. Romney spent about five minutes greeting customers, and he also posed for a photo outside with a 3-year-old girl. Arps told The Daily he doesnt know yet who hell vote for. He said hes not too hip to elections and stuff.

New review exposes supplement labels as fraud


ASSOcIAtED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Dozens of weight loss and immune system supplements on the market are illegally labeled and lack the recommended type of scientific evidence to back up their purported health claims, government investigators warn in a new review of the $20 billion supplement industry. The report, released Wednesday by the Department of Health and Human Services inspector general, found that 20 percent of the 127 weight loss and immune-boosting supplements investigators purchased online and in retail stores across the country carried labels that made illegal claims to cure or treat disease. In addition, many of those and other supplements lacked the scientific studies recommended to support their suggested uses. Some products went so far as to state that the supplements could cure or prevent diabetes or cancer, or that they could help treat people with HIV or AIDS, which is strictcRYPtOqUIPS 9A OPINION 6A

ly prohibited under federal law. 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.

Need for Kansas-grown grapes increases


niKKi wEnTlinG
nwentling@kansan.com When most people think of big drivers of the Kansas economy, fields of wheat, pastures dotted with beef cattle and clumps of large factories pumping out airplanes, plastic and packed meat come to mind. However, the sites of an emerging market are tucked into small towns and hidden off country roads. Kansas wineries and vineyards, which now lag behind nearby states in acreage and production, are trying to make a comeback. Dominic Martin is an instructor of viticulture at Highland Community College. He manages the colleges vineyard, which lies on the outskirts of Wamego, 45 miles northwest of Topeka. The vineyard was created four years ago, and it produced its first crop of grapes last month. Students are able to work hands-on, stringing wire, pruning and picking, learning how to create and run a commercial winemaking business. Most of our students are thinking about being in this business, Martin said. Once theyre our students, they never go away. Were friends with these people. We want them to succeed. A century ago, Martin said, Kansas was one of the countrys leaders in winemaking. Prohibition, a cold climate, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl and World War II contributed to the demise of the market in Kansas. But now theres a real move all over the Midwest, he said. Theres a real curiosity about it, and people want to know what theyre drinking and where it comes from. They like the idea of a local product, whether its fruits and vegetables or a bottle of wine or a bottle of beer. The whole thing is returning to the local level. And we have a long way to go. Highlands site accounts for one acre of Kansas 400 acres of vineyard, a number Martin said needs to increase substantially before the state can compete with its neighbors. While there are about 30 wineries scattered around Kansas, Missouri lays claim to more than 100, according to travelthemidwest.com. Theres a real need for more Kansas grapes, Martin said. Were pushing hard to have more vineyards put in. This lack of grape production was a factor behind the creation of a provision that decreases the amount of Kansas-grown grapes that state wineries are required to use in their products. Before the law went into effect in May, 60 percent of ingredients in a Kansas winerys overall products had to be made in Kansas. House Bill 2689 cut this down to 30 percent. David Sollo, president of the Kansas Grape Growers and Winemakers Association (KGGWA) and owner of Grace Hill Winery in Whitewater, said this new law would make it easier for wineries to become profitable because they will not have to compete for the limited number of Kansas-grown grapes. As of January 2012, every grape in Kansas was spoken for. Even if you wanted to buy more grapes, you couldnt, because there were none available, Sollo said. So that really limits winery growth. Sollo thinks the new, lessened requirement will generate the creation of more wineries throughout Kansas, as he said it has done with neighboring states. Greg Shipe, owner of Davenport Orchard and Winery in Eudora, said this potential increase in the number of wineries would ruin Kansas reputation. Shipe has a 22-acre vineyard comprising 21 varieties of grapes. He has been growing grapes for more than 20 years, and strives to use 100 percent Kansas-grown grapes in his wine. Shipe said wineries that sell products made with imported grapes are deceiving to customers. Under this new requirement, he said, the quality of the wine would falter. Its important for wine to be grown where its made, Shipe said. You develop an identity for that wine from where its grown. Martins focus remains on the states economy. According to the U.S. Census, 77 of Kansas 105

Fisher, an 8-month-old border collie, shares his owners love for grapes grown at Davenport Orchards & Winery on Wednesday afternoon. 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

Associated Press ment was barring a gathering of right-wing groups that planned to attack the event. It also canceled several national league soccer matches in Belgrade on Saturday because they often are attended by hooligans aligned with the extremists. We believe that at this moment Serbia does not need clashes and victims, and thats why we banned the gatherings, said Dacic, who is also the national police chief. Opposition politicians said the ban showed that authorities are unable to protect freedom and human rights in Serbia. No democratic society has the right to retreat from the threats of violence against basic rights, said Liberal Party leader Cedomir Jovanovic. Meanwhile, some 2,000 riot policemen were deployed Wednesday in front of an art exhibit in Belgrade organized by gay activists that the extremists had threatened to disrupt. The reason? They claimed the photographs by a Swedish artist desecrated the image of Jesus Christ.

Gay Pride event banned by police again


ASSOCIAtED PRESS

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

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.

Santos earlier said doctors told him he has a 97 percent chance of being cured.

Violence increases in Syria


ASSOCIAtED PRESS
BEIRUT, Lebanon Three suicide bombers detonated cars packed with explosives in a government-controlled area of the battleground Syrian city of Aleppo on Wednesday, killing at least 34 people, leveling buildings and trapping survivors under the rubble, state TV said. More than 120 people were injured, the government said. A fourth explosion a few hundred meters (yards) away struck near the edge of the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site that has been heavily damaged during more than two months of fierce fighting between rebels and government forces for control of the Aleppo. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the government blamed its opponents and said the blasts were caused by suicide bombers. The technique is a signature style of al-Qaida-style jihadist groups, some of which are known to have entered Syrias civil war to fight against the regime. The transformation of Syrias conflict into an open war has given an opening to foreign fighters and extremists, analysts say. The Syrian government has always blamed the uprising on foreign terrorists, even though the revolt began as peaceful protests by ordinary citizens that turned violent after repeated attacks by security forces. The Syrian opposition denies any links to terrorists or any use of suicide attacks. A Sunni extremist group called Jabhat al-Nusra, or Victory Front, has claimed responsibility for previous bombings. Rebels last week announced a new concerted push to capture Aleppo, where they have been bat-

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.

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.

Happiest 5K on the planet takes stride Saturday


tARA bRYANt
tbryant@kansan.com University of Kansas students are ready for the happiest, craziest 5K run of their lives. The Color Run will paint Lawrence red and blue and yellow, orange, green and pink on Saturday, Oct. 6. The excitement surrounding The Color Run attracts experienced runners and amateurs alike, and it introduces more people to an active lifestyle. It appeals to anyone, whether theyre intense athletes or just looking for a good time, said Rachel Seitz, a sophomore from Hutchinson. I know girls who have expressed interest in the run even though they dont run or like running. Jackson Cozzens, a spokesperson for The Color Run, said The Color Run has motivated all types of runners. The Color Run has been an inspiration to a lot of people to get out and get active, Cozzens said. Although we do see a lot of serious runners come out to experience a non-timed event, the majority of people are lessexperienced runners. Participants will run five kilometers (slightly more than three miles,) and will be doused with colorful powdered paint at each of the four kilometers leading up to the finish. At the end of the race, runners enter a color explosion. The Color Runs video on YouTube explains the race best. The run gained popularity quickly through social networking sites. Pictures and videos of paint-splattered runners dressed in all white blew up on sites such as Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. This year, The Color Run became the fastest growing running event in history, according to a Color Run news release. Seitz and Rachel Volk, a freshman from Newton, both heard ening running event. Doing The Color Run is more about being social, a little more about the experience and mostly just about being, Snyder said. Its less about expectation; its just fun. Stephen Opskar, a junior from Derby, is a personal trainer at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center and plans to run in The Color Run next weekend. He said the social aspect of running helps to get people more involved. Especially with me, if I dont want to go run and I dont have someone else to go with me, then I wont go do it, Opskar said. If you have a partner, it holds you more accountable. A study by Gallup and Healthways supports what some students have already noticed: Americans are exercising more this year. Opskar said he sees more runners at the Ambler recreation center this year than last year. I know a lot of people that dont really run, but they want to do The Color Run, so they start running, Opskar said. I think people are realizing that they need to get out there and do something. More people have started running because of The Color Run, Volk said, and it appeals to a variety of runners. Its not your typical 5K, Volk said. Its more of a friendly gettogether 5K; an activity rather than a workout. Bob Sanner, the executive director of the Lawrence Sports Corporation, said more than 6,300 runners and walkers signed up to participate as of Sep. 24. The Color Run will be in Downtown Lawrence this Saturday at 4 p.m. Edited by Stphane Roque

common Book author visits campus for student forums


hANNAh bARLING
hbarling@kansan.com Eula Biss is the author of the KU Common Book and will be visiting campus today to discuss Note from No Mans Land: American Essays. The book addresses issues including race, place and identity. Biss said a lot of her essays come from experiences that left her unsettled, wondering and full of questions. Im trying to unravel the knot of experiences, to figure out why I feel uncomfortable, Biss said. Biss earned her BA in nonfiction writing from Hampshire College and her MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of Iowa. She now is an Artist in Residence at Northwestern University teaching writing. Notes from No Mans Land: American Essays was chosen as KUs first common book, described by the Office if Public Affairs as a campuswide initiative to engage first-year students in a discussion of important modern issues. Biss said being chosen was a tremendous honor for her. My work is so concerned with thinking about the community, and it is very meaningful to me that a whole community across a campus is engaging in my book, Biss said. As a writer, Biss said that its interesting to talk with readers, because most dont get that opportunity. Christina Kerns, program coordinator of Office of First-Year Experience, said it makes the whole experience more useful for students. Kerns said attending the event will be beneficial because it encourages critical thinking and dialogue that has already been happening but will now take place on an even higher level. It puts a face to a work the students have seen as academic, Kerns said. Its a unique opportunity. Some of the questions laid out in the book are some of the fundamental questions of identity that college students deal with. Biss wrote a lot of Notes from No Mans Land: American Essays while she was very young, just out of college. It is a coming-of-age story and took her seven to 10 years to complete. The book addresses the process of growing up and parallels it to Americas maturation from a young nation to a more adult nation. It explores how to come to terms with issues of our nations past. Im trying to reckon what it means to be a young white woman in this country and my responsibilities as that, Biss said. Student Union Activities Tea at Three will be hosting a casual conversation with Biss in the Traditions area on the fourth floor of the Union. Who, Then, is Ones Neighbor? will be a conversation with students about Biss book Notes from No Mans Land: American Essays at 5 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom. The Commons of Spooner Hall will be hosting Coffee and Conversation with Eula Biss on Friday at 9 a.m. Biss is currently working on a book about vaccination and its history and politics, a completely different subject. Shes discovered that some of the concerns are surprisingly similar. In the deepest sense, its kind of picking up where I left off, Biss said Edited by Sarah McCabe

when to turn your smart phone off


mericans said goodbye to flip phones a long time ago. Today we eagerly welcome smartphones into our hearts and into our hands. According to a study done this year by Edison Research, 44 percent of Americans own a smartphone; a figure that increased from 35 percent since May 2011. The divide is pretty even on men and women that own smartphones but the dominant age group isnt necessarily a group that brings in the most amount of money to afford these expensive phones. Chances are if youre reading this article, youre included in the 18 to 29-year-old age group known as millennials. If you dont believe that more young adults than any other age

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.

Late night at last


like a normal day. Personally, I am appalled when I hear someone say theyve never attended a basketball game. Its one of KUs biggest and most exciting traditions. Once you step into that building and feel the energy, your outlook on basketball will most likely change. It is really more than just a game. Being a Jayhawk creates so many bonds between strangers. Its great being able to walk down the street in some random town and saying Rock Chalk to a complete stranger. Because of that crimson and blue shirt with the Jayhawk on the front, you have just made an instant connection with an otherwise complete stranger. And theres no doubt that basketball is the driving force behind the camaraderie. Late Night in the Phog is approaching on Oct. 13, its a fun event for everyone. Late Night typically referred to as Midnight Madness at other schools, signifies the first official practice for the men and womens teams. It includes both teams singing, dancing, and performing skits. And of course, its always a great way to check out the years talent during the scrimmages. Late Night is one of the best forms of entertainment from some big campus names. It is unlike any other universitys Midnight Madness. Although, it is true that there are sports at Kansas other than basketball and all of them should get attention. Kansas should have the same attitude about other sports as it does about basketball. That positive outlook, the crazy student section, and forming simple bonds are all a part of the experience that should be carried onto other sports. Basketball, however, is just so full of tradition. The Rock Chalk Chant, singing the Alma Mater, and holding up the Kansan during the opponents starting lineup are just a few of many examples. Basketball is what many students live for at Kanas, and I dont see that ever changing. bickel is a sophomore majoring in journalism from harper. Follow her on Twitter @steph_bick.

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.

And Jesus did beseech His wife to let Him hang out with the apostles that evening: But honey, Ive got to go over and watch the game! The Saints are playing tonight! What in Your name has gotten into you? she replied. Its a Sunday night; You cant even bother to keep Your own day holy? And she did point to the twelve bottles of water that He was carrying, and said, And dont think I dont know what Youre going to do with those! I dont want You driving back here drunk!

And so it was that Jesuss wife besought Him: Honey, could You rustle up some grub?

Why cant you do it tonight? Look, Honey. Im not expecting the Last Supper here. Just do loaves and fish again. Thatll be fine.

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

Local activities help fight fall break boredom


Tickets can be purchased through the Crossroads KC website. Krista Jarboe, a freshman from Girard, will be attending the concert with her friend. They were planning on going to Chicago for break, but after seeing a flyer for the concert, they decided it was too good to miss. Im really looking forward to just seeing the bands performance, Jarboe said. Ive seen so many videos of them, and they really get into it. They seem so happy on stage, its contagious. Also because of Edward Sharpes beautiful voice. If youre wanting to improve your photography skills or showcase your talents, the first Photo Walk sponsored by the Lawrence Art Guild and the Lawrence Photo Alliance will be on Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. in downtown Lawrence. The walk will feature fun events like a mapped photo scavenger hunt, a mystery photo match quiz, a film swap as well as chances to take photos at different tech points in Lawrence. These venues will be set up around town and serve to give photographers opportunities to capture photos from different events such as the Color Run. Local photographers Roger Spohn and Robbin Loomas will also be there to discuss their experiences in shooting the architecture in the area. Its good networking for students if they want to meet local photographers, said Amanda Monaghan, president of the Lawrence Art Guild. Monaghan said the Photo Walk is open to people with all levels of experience. Photos taken during the walk will have the opportunity to be exhibited at the Watkins Community Museum of History during the Final Fridays Art Walks later in December. Registration for the Photo Walk will begin at 3 p.m. at the 1109 Gallery at 1109 Massachusetts St. The entrance fee is $10, and the walk is open to all ages. A night at the theater is a great way to mix up your stuck-in-a-rut dating routine. The last showings of Theatre Lawrences 9 to 5: The Musical are this weekend. The musical comedy, which is based on the 1980 movie, features music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. Its an exaggerated view of what the workplace was like in the 80s, said Kay Traver, director of sales and marketing for Theatre Lawrence. Its got friendship, revenge and a little bit of a romantic side. Performances are Oct. 4-6 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 7 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online through the Theatre Lawrence website, by visiting the box office at 1501 New Hampshire St., or by calling the box office at (785) 8437469 Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Calling all food fanatics: Saturday morning is one of the last days to visit the Farmers Market on Eighth and New Hampshire streets. Grab some breakfast while you check out the 95 vendors and listen to local musicians. The market starts at 8 a.m. and lasts until 11 a.m. After the Farmers Market, find your inner eclectic spirit and search the vendors at the Lawrence Flea Market for antiques, collectibles, furniture, vintage clothing and jewelry from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Eighth and Pennsylvania streets. Edited by Sarah McCabe

The Farmers market will have its last gathering this Saturday before going away for the fall season.

String-folk group to perform


LYNDSEY hAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com The Blackberry Bushes Stringband will be performing the release of their new EP At the Break in Lawrence on Oct. 7. Hailing from Olympia, Washington, the string-folk group incorporates styles of bluegrass, folk, indie, jazz and more into their Americana-rooted sound. Their music has often been compared to that of the Avett Brothers and the Dixie Chicks. The three-piece group consists of sister sirens Jes Raymond and Kendl Winter, along with Jakob Breitbach on the fiddle and mandolin. Jes and Kendl met at an open mic in Olympia and eventually started getting together to learn tunes, which eventually turned into songwriting. Jakob didnt join until later. The Blackberry Bushes debut studio album Little Bit of Grace was self-released in 2010. Over time the band has developed into a international act, adding shows in Europe to their tour schedule. However, this will be the groups last tour including Winter.

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

the core, so it is a big change. Even though its a big change, its also a time for a lot of new creativity, so were all looking forward to that, she said. The group already has a new member, Lawrence native Max Paley on mandolin. This will be the groups first show back in his hometown. The show starts at 7 p.m. at Americana Music Academy. Tickets are $15, and the show is open to all ages. Edited by Sarah McCabe

Bassnectar in town
RYAN wRIGht
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

Bassenectar is an electronic music artist, DJ and producer from Santa cruz, calif. and is influenced by metal and rock bands such as metallica, megadeth and nirvana. He will be preforming at Burchan Park on Oct. 5.

Folk duo sing social justice


LYNDSEY hAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com Sandy O. and Pat Humphries make up Emmas Revolution, a progressive folk duo. The two will be in Lawrence on Oct. 4 at the Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence to perform a release concert of their new album, Revolutions Per Minute. This will be the pairs first time playing in Kansas. Not sure what exactly progressive music is? When people hear about progressive music, they have all sorts of ideas that they project, Sandy O. said. We work hard to tell amazing stories because we hear amazing stories. We sing songs about a lot of important issues, but there is a lot of satire and irony, and we understand the importance as Emma Goldman did, of finding a balance. Emma, of Emmas Revolution, is no member of the group but rather a member of many social rights movements for which both Sandy O. and Humphries advocate. Emma Goldman (1869-1940) was an activist from Lithuania known for stating, If I cant dance, I dont want to be part of your revolution, a quote that Sandy O. and Humphries have adapted as a mantra of their own. Its a good way to sum up the kind of music that we write, Humphries said. We write about social justice, but are conscious of the fact that its important to lead our audience with a sense of hope and possibility to help fuel the work that is required to get people in a better world. When asked which cause Sandy O. felt most personally connected to, she answered, For myself, right

new Mumford & Sons album breaks record


mccLAtchY tRIbUNE
LOS ANGELES The music industry has been grappling with the following question for the last few years: Do streaming services such as Spotify, which allow users to listen to albums for free, cannibalize sales? Leave it to a banjo-wielding English folk-rock band to provide one very loud answer. Babel, the sophomore album from Mumford & Sons released on Glassnote Records last week, has had the biggest debut sales week of 2012, selling approximately 600,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. That number, revealed Tuesday, bests first-week totals from such A-list pop stars as Justin Bieber and Madonna and did so while being streamed more than 8 million times on Spotify. Before the release of Babel, the bestselling debut of 2012 belonged to Biebers Believe, which opened with 374,000 copies sold. Youre talking about a much different artist, said Dave Bakula, a senior executive for Nielsen. This is an album-driven artist. Theyre not going to have one single solitary hit that defines the album. People want everything they can get from this artist, and thats where you get large album sales. Babels 8 million-plus streams are more than three times that of the previous record holder, said Kenneth Parks, Spotifys chief content officer, although Parks refused to reveal the title. Our streaming numbers sit alongside a very healthy sales volume, said Parks, whose service boasts more than 15 million worldwide users. Spotify has been criticized for offering lower royalty payments than labels and artists would get from album sales. Other big name artists, such as Coldplay, have opted to withhold new albums from Spotify during the week of release, fearing that the ad-driven free service would hurt sales. Glassnote Records founder Daniel Glass said that Spotify is retraining people to buy music through streaming services. Could we be getting better compensation? Yes, but Im not going to hold it back from them. Thats old thinking. Mumford & Sons, which will headline a sold-out Hollywood Bowl show on Nov. 10, has been playing most, if not all, of the songs on Babel live for months. The fans can take the songs off YouTube, obviously, but they want the produced album. So theres still a record business, said Glass. For now.

New music yet to come for 2012


RYAN WRIGht
rwright@kansan.com 2012 has shaped up to be, for the most part, a superb year for music. Artists are really putting out solid projects. Now that the leaves are changing colors, heres what to look forward to for the rest of the year across all genres. Taylor Swift Red: Americas favorite country superstar is back this fall with the release of her fourth LP Red. The albums leading single We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together has topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts for the last several weeks. Swift looks to continue singing about her personal favorite subject, love, but shes taking a different direction with the music side by venturing out of country music a bit. Kendrick Lamar Good Kid, m.A.A.d city: If youre one of those people who still believe rap music lacks substance, you clearly arent familiar with Kendrick Lamar. Lamar is making his major label debut with Good Kid, m.A.A.d city under Dr. Dres Aftermath Entertainment. Lamar made it clear hes one of raps most promising emcees with his independently released album, Section.80. Ever since hes been making show-stealing guest features with everyone from Drake to Rick Ross. Even Lady Gaga is a fan, as shell be featured on this album. Ke$ha Warrior: Love her or hate her, Ke$ha is back in 2012 with her sophomore album, Warrior. Ke$ha had a great year in 2010, releasing her EP Cannibal and her debut album, Animal, which spawned the mega-hit Tik Tok. Ke$ha looks to continue her string of dance-pop hits with this album. The Weeknd Trilogy: Coming off an international tour and signing his first deal with Republic, the Weeknd is set to release his major labor debut. Trilogy is basically a mastered version of the three mixtapes he previously released for free last year. The reason many fans are looking forward to it is hes adding new tracks to it. The Weekend has received high praise from many outlets such as MTV, who called him the best musical talent since Michael Jackson. This fall, hell try to live up to the hype. Trash Talk 119: Californianative punk band Trash Talk is set to release their fourth studio album, 119, on Odd Future Records. Releasing wild videos directed by Tyler, the Creator with cameos from Wayne Brady, the groups album should be very interesting. Those are just a few of the hyped albums releases for the rest of the year. With these plus many more this falls selection of music is shaping up to make a strong finish for 2012. Edited by Sarah McCabe Dracula, voiced by Adam Sandler, and Jonathan, voiced by Andy Samberg, wear different expressions in this Sony Animation Studios still shot from the movie Hotel Translyvania. Selena Gomez also voices a main character in the film.

Dont bother checking into Hotel Transylvania


LANDoN McDoNALD
lmcdonald@kansan.com Halloween season is off to a ghastly start with Hotel Transylvania, a shambling monster mash where prosaic life lessons are imparted by a flatulent Frankenstein (Kevin James) and a break-dancing, Yiddish-sounding Count Dracula (Adam Sandler). No, this is not a joke. A joke requires preparation, general competence and the ability to occasionally produce laughter. At a time when films like ParaNorman and Rango are attracting younger viewers with heartfelt stories and thrilling visuals, focus-tested flotsam like Hotel Transylvania can come across as bland or even cynical in comparison. Nearly every aspect of this film, from its ready-made animation style to its voice-over talent, suggests the emphasis of broad appeal over a singular creative vision. The films main concept is interesting but poorly realized. In a world where monsters have been driven into hiding by angry human mobs, Dracula is no longer the debonair neck-nibbler weve come to know and fear. Hes a neurotic single dad who, in a bid to keep his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) safe from mortal clutches, builds the Hotel Transylvania as a sanctuary for his family and friends to gather every year for Mavis birthday. Trouble comes when a hapless human backpacker (Andy Samberg) stumbles into their midst and sets off Maviss118-year-old hormones. This doesnt sit well with the Count and his posse, which includes other notables from the Universal Monsters canon, each unceremoniously saddled with a celebrity voice and his or her worst shticky tendencies. Frankenstein and his Bride (Fran Drescher) are loud, obnoxious and obsessed with bodily fluids. The Invisible Man (David Spade) is a sardonic jackass, while the Mummy (Cee Lo Green) has a penchant for launching into blustery soul numbers. The only highlight is Steve Buscemis downtrodden Wayne the Wolf Man, cursed with a domineering wife (Molly Shannon) and their everexpanding litter of yippy, ravenous were-kids. Hotel Transylvania was last weekends box office champ, setting a new record for September releases and more than doubling the gross of the spectacular new time-travel flick Looper. So whos to blame? Start with audiences starved for spooky family entertainment, who should have been saving their money for the original Universal Monster boxed set that came out on Blu-ray this week. Then move on to the films five credited screenwriters, including Sandlers regular accomplice Robert Smigel, and finally its director, Genndy Tartakovsky. Tartakovskys involvement here is puzzling. As the Russian-American whiz kid behind Cartoon Networks Dexters Lab, Samurai Jack and the original Star Wars Clone Wars micro-series, one would expect his big screen debut to be a startlingly original vision, clear in content and assured in purpose, not a third-rate Adam Sandler kiddie flick abandoned by no less than five previous directors. Hopefully animations former boy wonder will choose his next project with fewer reservations.

idol judges off to rocky start


MccLAtchY tRIbUNE
LOS ANGELES American Idol has barely gotten underway and a purported feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj theyve both denied the beef has become a full-blown diva showdown, as seen in video leaked by TMZ on Tuesday eveCarey ning. In the clip, Minaj and Carey are in a heated argument that reportedly derailed auditions in Charlotte, N.C. Theres plenty of swearing and shouting in the clip, so its hard to fully decipher the argument. However, Minaj called the pop diva disMinaj respectful and the pop diva replied by calling her a word that rhymes with itch. Reports claim that the fight was over a contestants performance and that Minaj threatened she was going to knock out Carey. All while poor Keith Urban, who is seated between the two, Randy Jackson and Idol producers tried to calm the situation. I dont feel inadequate. Youre the insecure one sittin up there running down her resume every five minutes, Minaj yells at one point. If you gotta ... problem then handle it. I told them, Im not ... putting up with your ... highness over there ... figure it the ... out. Figure it out. On Idol host Ryan Seacrests radio show Wednesday morning, he confirmed the spat. There was a very heated, intense argument towards the end of the day after a contestant did a little bit of a performance in the room ... It did go too far, to the point where the producers said with just a few more contestants left, Lets call it a day, he said. Rumors that the two were clashing surfaced the second the ink dried on Minajs contract. It was reported that Carey hung up on Idol producers after they told her that Minaj was in negotiations to join the show, bringing the panel back to a four-person one. Tension? What tension? Carey joked with photographers when asked about the report of animosity between the two. While the Internet is busy reacting tweets, petitions to remove Minaj, etc. the brass at Fox (and Seacrest) must be high-fiving one another and hoping the ratingspumping drama continues. Its more fun to watch celebrity judges fight than contestants (just ask Paula Abdul and Kara Dioguardi). Idol, which is going into its 12th season in January, continues to stay a part of the conversation despite rival shows currently on the air. An episode of The Voice aired Tuesday as news of the fight broke online. The high-quality Carey/ Minaj video suspiciously surfaced soon after.

Making a classic outfit more personal


cALLAN REILLY
creilly@kansan.com There are few outfits in this everchanging world that never go out of style. Even I, a fashionista, look back on outfits of mine that were recently considered in and shake my head in horror at the thought of wearing it again. Fads will come and go, but an always and forever go-to look is the beloved white t-shirt and jeans. Now, now, dont be fooled by the simplicity of this outfit. You may think its as simple as, well, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, but this is where youre wrong. Clothes need to properly fit you, accessories need to shine and your shoes need to be perfect. Are you wearing this outfit during daytime, or at night? Whats the occasion? Where are you going? Luckily for you, sophomore Therese Diederich, a business major from St. Louis, is a perfect example for how to wear this timeless ensemble. For a casually cool day look, Diederich pairs her blue denim shorts with a white button-up top, a great look for warm weather. Simple sandals, a gold watch and aviator sunglasses complete her outfit. Her loose-fitting shirt creates a laidback essence, which is perfect for campus. Though her outfit may be casual, she still looks put together, and its obvious she put thought into what she was wearing. Theres a fine line between casual and sloppy, and Diederich is obviously knowledgeable. This stylish students outfit inspiration revolved around comfort. I didnt feel like wearing athletic clothes anymore, Diederich said. I had been for a lot of days, and I just felt like wearing something a little bit nicer, so I just picked out the most comfortable thing. A comfortable and cute look: What more could you possible want? Diederich also likes to customize this classic look with a scarf, cowboy boots or Converse. Adding your own personal touch to this look is a must. Taking this look from day to night can be as easy as 1-2-3. For girls high heels, a swipe of lipstick and a statement necklace are all you need. And for guys ironing your shirt, wearing darker shoes and actually brushing your hair can work wonders. Remembering these simple steps the next time youre stepping out in public can truly be cALLAN REILLY/KANSAN a huge help to society. Therese Diederich, a sophomore from St. louis, shows how she dresses a Edited by Laken Rapier little bit nicer, while still remaining comfortable in her white shirt and jeans.

The Beast, 1401 W. 13th Street in Kansas City, Mo., is one of the best haunted houses in the country. Its open every weekend in October, Thursday through Sunday.

jmitchell@kansan.com October has arrived and with it brings chilly mornings, pumpkinflavored everything and Halloween. Lucky for us, one of Americas top rated haunted houses is within our reach. The Beast, located in the West Bottoms of Kansas City, Mo., is one of four haunted houses owned by Full Moon Productions. Although it stands alongside The Edge of Hell, Macabre Cinema and The Chambers of Edgar Allen Poe, The Beast is the largest and one of the most terrifying haunted houses in America. Michelle Tucker, a senior from Wichita, is visiting the haunted houses this week with hopes that they live up to their reputation. I havent been [to The Beast] so its a little bit more exciting, and Ive heard good recommendations about it, Tucker said. I think it would be better than the ones in Topeka. Tim Diaz, 24, and Alicia Barrett, 23, travelled two hours for the beastly happenings. Diaz has walked through other Full Moon haunted houses but never experienced The Beast.

Orchestras canceling shows


ASSocIAtED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS The Minnesota Orchestra was called the worlds greatest not long ago, welcome recognition for musicians based outside a top cultural center. Now its members are locked out of Orchestra Hall, stuck in the same kind of labor-management battle recently afflicting teachers and football referees. Across the country, symphony and chamber orchestra executives have cited flat ticket sales and slumping private support as they seek major pay concessions from musicians, who warn of a loss of talent and reputation. In Minneapolis, the Minnesota Orchestra has already cancelled concerts through Nov. 25 as negotiators argue over a proposal to trim the performers average salary by $46,000 a year. A similar standoff is under way across the Mississippi River at the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has canceled the first month of its season due to a labor impasse, and similar troubles are rumbling at orchestras in Richmond, Va., Jacksonville, Fla., and San Antonio, Texas. It breaks my heart, said Christal Steele, a violinist and assistant concertmaster in Indianapolis, where she and fellow musicians have gone

without pay and benefits for almost a month. This is my 40th season, and in that time I have seen nothing but this orchestra rise in quality and in stature. 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.

sunflowEr showdown

Kansas takes advantage of bye week to prepare for in-state battle

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

nathan FoRdyce
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

Equally important is senior Collin Klein, K-States powerful, runheavy quarterback whom Kansas will have to stop for a chance at victory. Klein isnt an elusive runner, but hes strong enough to break away from defenders with ease. Kansas defensive coordinator Dave Campo compared Klein to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his ability to escape tackles and make plays. To prepare for a quarterback who breaks tackles, Campos defense needed to practice taking down the signal caller even if it meant hitting senior quarterback Dayne Crist. A lot of the guys on defense were excited, senior defensive end Toben Opurum said. Were used to pulling up and making sure to do anything possible to not touch the quarterback. It was better that we could let loose and tee off. But Crist wasnt opposed to the hitting. The change in jerseys not only helped Crist practice fullgame speed but also forced him to step up in the pocket under real pressure. Crist said the last two weeks were some of the best practices Kansas has had all year. Even though Crist was under duress, he didnt have the most pressure to perform in practice. That rested on the offensive linemen, who now had the responsibility of making sure their top quarterback didnt get injured. It really changes the offensive lines sense of urgency, Marongelli said. Were all out there making sure nothing comes close to the quarterbacks. If you lose your quarterback, thats your season right there. Campo said the return of the red jerseys is week-to-week, depending on what Kansas will practice to be successful on Saturdays. To be successful against K-State, it comes down to stopping the black-and-blue run game that has become synonymous with Klein and the Wildcats. This is not a trickery and deceit team, Weis said of K-State. They are going to smash it down your throat, and you better be ready to tackle both the quarterback and the running back, because they are going to have the ball in their hands a whole bunch of times. Defensive backs coach Clint Bowen said that Klein presents a lot of the same challenges that Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch posed two weeks ago. Lynch ended up gaining 372 total yards on the Jayhawks and leading Northern Illinois to a 17-point fourth quarter that wiped away a 10-point Kansas lead.

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. Thats part of teaching people how to finish, which has been one of our bigger problems, as is well documented, Weis said, And I think theres only one way of doing

Lakers complete massive overhaul in the offseason


he Los Angeles Lakers are locked and loaded for the upcoming NBA season and are serious NBA championship contenders. The Lakers traded Andrew Bynum to the Philadelphia 76ers and brought in arguably the leagues best center in Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic. The Howard drama lasted forever, but he is now ready to team up with Kobe Bryant and the newly-acquired point guard Steve Nash to form this dynamic trio. Nash, the future Hall of Fame point guard, will be in his 16th season in the league, and he is likely to retire after playing out his three-year contract worth $27 million in Los Angeles. Throughout Nashs career as the Phoenix Suns starting point guard, his many accolades include a two-time MVP award and eight All-Star appearances. The only crucial part missing on Nashs exclusive resume is an NBA championship. The projected starting lineup for the Lakers is the following: Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Metta World Peace, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard. These five projected starters for the Lakers combine for 33 All-Star appearances and eight championships (Kobe in the lead with 14 All-Stars and five championships). The Lakers bench is highlighted by Antawn Jamison, Jodie Meeks and Jordan Hill. The veteran Jamison will be able to come in and stretch defenses with his ability to shoot from the perimeter. Meeks is an explosive guard who can score in a variety of ways, and Hill is a center who can come in whenever Howard needs a breather or gets

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

Jayhawks focus on Klein


ASSOCIAtED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. In a league of high-powered offenses that love to air it out, Kansas State is a misfit. The No. 7 Wildcats would prefer, in the words of Kansas coach Charlie Weis, to ram it down your throat every single play. But an improved passing game has allowed the Wildcats to be more balanced, and thats made them even more difficult to stop than last season. Theyve already thrown for 758 yards through four games, an increase of nearly 50 percent over last year, and quarterback Collin Klein is completing about 70 percent of his throws. So far, hes connected on 15 plays of at least 20 years, more than double this point last season. You have to spend so much time trying to stop (Klein) as a runner, it obviously exposes you in the pass game, said Weis, whose job it will be on Saturday to find an answer when the Jayhawks visit the Wildcats for the first time in his tenure at Kansas. Sometimes they get some really easy money because you have to come up and stop him, Weis said. If you cant stop him, you dont have much of a chance to win the game. As long as Bill Snyder is at the helm, Kansas State isnt likely to abandon its steady, clock-eating approach in favor of a full-on shootout mentality, the kind that resulted in West Virginias 70-63 basketball-like final score last Saturday over Baylor. Still, it looks like the Wildcats goal of a more balanced offense is being realized. Klein is integral to the system, but credit is also due the group of offensive linemen who have protected the Heisman Trophy hopeful well despite injury problems. The Wildcats have been without right guard Boston Stiverson and left guard Nick Puetz most of the season. As a result, the lone returning starter is center

forward courtney Dickerson attempts to make a shot on the Denver goal. The Jayhawks lost to Denver by the score of 1-0.

Jayhawks to stay busy throughout fall break


NICOLE EVANS
nevans@kansan.com With a little luck and great timing, the soccer team managed a double-overtime victory over TCU on Sunday. Now Kansas will try to raise its intensity and improve its consistency as it faces some strong teams in the upcoming weeks. It was an interesting weekend, coach Mark Francis said. It was tough to play on Sunday. By the end of regulation, we were a little deflated, but we talked about it. We messed up, but the game was still there for the taking, and we were able to dominate the overtime periods. Kansas will host the West Virginia Mountaineers this Friday. The Mountaineers are 7-3-3 so far this year. West Virginia struggled early on in the season but persevered. The team now is riding a five-game win streak, which includes an eight-game unbeaten streak. West Virginia has only been shutout twice this year. On the other hand the Mountaineers have shut out five teams themselves. West Virginia allowed 13 goals so far this year, the same mark as Kansas. The Mountaineers have a versatile squad this year, with 11 different players finding the back of the net. They are led in scoring by junior forward Frances Silva, who 4-0, and are slotted to play Virginhas eight goals, and sophomore ia before welcoming the Jayhawks forward Kate Schwindel, who has on Sunday.

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.

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.

As complete comeback
assOcIaTed Press
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.

assOcIaTed Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Evan Longoria hit three home runs and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Baltimore 4-1 Wednesday, ending the Orioles bid to force a one-game tiebreaker for the AL East title. The loss on the final day of the regular season left the Orioles as a wild-card team. Theyll play Friday at Texas, with the winner advancing to the division series. Baltimore began the day one game behind the New York Yankees in the division. The Orioles needed a win, plus a loss by the Yankees to Boston, to pull even. Longoria finished the season with a bang for the second straight year, hitting solo shots off Chris Tillman in the first and fourth innings and adding another solo shot off Jake Arrieta in the sixth. With a chance to tie the major league record of four homers in a game, Longoria grounded out in the eighth. Longorias second career threehomer game came a year after the three-time All-Star hit two of them of the final night of last season, including a 12th-inning gameending shot that clinched a postseason berth. His bid for the first four-homer game in franchise history ended when he grounded out against Pedro Strop in the eighth. Ryan Roberts also homered for the Rays in the fourth against Tillman (9-3). Jeremy Hellickson (10-11) allowed one hit Adam Jones fourth-inning single in 5 1-3 innings. Jake McGee, Wade Davis, Joel Peralta and Fernando Rodney teamed to hold the Orioles to two hits J.J. Hardys double and Matt Wieters single, both in the ninth inning the rest of the way. Jones ruined Tampa Bays shot at a 16th shutout with a sacrifice fly off Peralta. After Wieters singled, Rodney was summoned to get the final out for his 48th save in 50 opportunities. Chris Davis, who tied an Orioles record when he homered for the sixth straight game on Tuesday night, went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts. Longoria is 6 for 12 with three homers lifetime against Tillman, who lasted five innings and allowed three runs and four hits in his first loss since Kansas City beat him on Aug. 11. The right-hander who had gone 3-0 with a 1.20 ERA over his previous five starts also allowed three homers in that game, matching his career high. The Rays won 12 of 14 down the stretch, remaining in contention for the second AL wild card until the 160th game and finished with at least 90 wins for the third season. Hellickson allowed three baserunners, two of them in the fourth inning when Jones singled to rightcenter after Davis struck out on a wild pitch that allowed the Orioles outfielder to reach first. The 2011 AL Rookie of the Year walked Manny Machado leading off the sixth and replaced by McGee after getting the next batter, Nate McLouth, to pop out.

Jayhawks make history with last nights win


geoFFrey caLVer
gcalvert@kansan.com Despite losing the opening set for only the second time this season, the No. 24 Kansas Jayhawks moved to 3-0 in conference play for the first time in school history with a 3-1 victory over West Virginia Wednesday night. In the first set, the Jayhawks appeared to lack focus in their first trip to Morgantown, W.Va., to play the Mountaineers in a Big 12 match. Nine attack errors by Kansas gave West Virginia a 25-15 first set victory. The Jayhawks admitted they came out passive in the first set, and it showed on the court. We just kind of sat back in the first set, and we didnt play our typical game, said Caroline Jarmoc, junior redshirt middle blocker. I think that could attest to not being totally focused. West Virginia entered the match with 92 service aces on the season, second in the Big 12. The Mountaineers scored three service aces in each of the first two sets, which Kansas coach Ray Bechard said stopped the Jayhawks from establishing an early offensive rhythm. They were serving tough, and that limited our options offensively, Bechard said. You can tell by the nine kills and nine errors (in the first set) that we just werent in sync offensively. The second set, however, went just as well for Kansas as the first set went badly for them. Two early kills by Sara McClinton, sophomore outside hitter, helped Kansas open an early 8-4 advantage. The Jayhawks found its offensive rhythm in the second set, only committing two attack errors. Jarmoc, McClinton and redshirt junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael each contributed three kills during the set, while senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree and junior setter Erin McNorton contributed two. Kansas won the set 25-16.

TraVIs youNg/KaNsaN
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

astros season finally over


assocIaTed press
CHICAGO The Houston Astros ended their National League tenure with a result thats become familiar: a loss. The Astros set a franchise record for losses in a season, finishing 2012 with a 5-4 defeat to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday as Bryan LaHair homered and hit a gamewinning single in the ninth inning. Houston went 55-107, one more loss than last year. The Astros split the final 30 games of their sorry season, winning five of their final seven. Thats the goal of a season where we didnt win as much as we wanted to, shortstop Jed Lowrie said. To finish strong gives everybody a good feeling going home. In the first series between 100game losers in the major leagues since 1962, LaHair homered in the second and broke a 4-all tie against Hector Ambriz (1-1). The Astros became the first team with 106 or more losses in consecutive seasons since the 1964-65 New York Mets. Houston finished its NL tenure with 3,999 regular-season wins and 4,134 losses with five ties. The Astros are moving to the AL West next season, creating three divisions of five teams in each league. Theres going to be some stiff competition, but itll be good for everybody, Lowrie said. Well prepare and see how it goes. The Astros were 16-25 under interim manager Tony DeFrancesco, who took over after Brad Mills was fired on Aug. 18. Washington third base coach Bo Porter already has been hired as Houstons manager for next season. I just went around to everybody and thanked them for everything they did, DeFrancesco said. I appreciate it. Theyre ready to go home. Its been a long season. DeFrancesco, previously Houstons Triple-A manager, hopes to remain on the Astros major league staff. I was comfortable in the clubhouse talking to the players and dealing with Jeff in the front office, DeFrancesco said, referring to general manager Jeff Luhnow. Everybodys been very warm to me. Im really proud to be a part of this. The Cubs, who havent won the World Series since 1908, went 61-101 for their most losses since dropping 103 games in 1966. A lot of hard work was put in this year, LaHair said. Unfortunately, the record didnt say that, but just to finish the season with a win, its always fun to do that. Carlos Marmol (3-3) pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the win. Justin Maxwell hit a tying, threerun homer for Houston in the eighth off Shawn Camp. It was Maxwells team-leading 18th home run. The way we finished, we knocked the Brewers out of playoff contention, we really played well these last few weeks, Maxwell said. If we individually work on the things we know we have to get better at, were going to be as a better team. Cubs starter Travis Wood allowed one run, three hits and five walks in 6 1-3 innings, giving up Carlos Corporans RBI single in the first. Wood also chased Astros starter Edgar Gonzalez with a two-run single. Gonzalez gave up four runs, five hits and four walks in 3 1-3 innings. Houston pitched 28 consecutive scoreless innings before LaHairs homer in the second. Most Cubs regulars were given the day off. The exception, Starlin Castro became the first player in franchise history to play shortstop in all 162 games, and the first major leaguer to do it since Jimmy Rollins in 2007. Castros 195 consecutive games played is the longest active streak in the NL.

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.

coAchING momENtUm
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.

PLAYER to WAtch
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.

Weis

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?

AShLEIGh LEE/KANSAN

BABY jAY WILL chEER IF ...


Kansas doesnt get blown out. The last two meetings have been abysmal for the Jayhawks. Charlie Weis said it himself, the Wildcats are succeeding with all of the same resources that Kansas has. Jayhawk fans are beyond tired of the embarrassing losses to their in-state rival.

fvousoughian@kansan.com

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.

Kansas State runing back John Hubert (33) fights off a tackle by Oklahoma defender Tony Jefferson (1) in the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game in Norman, Okla.

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.

Snyder

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.

baby jay WILL WeeP IF ...


If the Wildcats dominate the Jayhawks in all three phases of the game. Kansas State has done well in each facet of the game and has made very few errors. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has done a good job with his team and prepared them to play really well so far in four games.

Siblings support each other through season


NAthAN foRDYcE
nfordyce@kansan.com Whether its running distance for cross country or the 800-meter race for the track team, the Schneider family has it covered at the University of Kansas. Kaman, senior, runs cross country while his younger brother, Kellum, junior, runs the 800-meter for the track team, and for a trifecta their youngest sister Kennedy, freshman, runs for the cross country team as well. Even though all three Schneiders run some sort of race for the Jayhawks, they dont view it as a competition. Its hard making the cross-over between us, Kellum said. Since we dont run all the same event, its hard to really determine whos doing better. During their high school years, all three excelled both in sports and in the classroom in their hometown of Tribune, Kan. Kaman was a Class 1A 1600 meter champion as a junior and was academic All-State in 2007 and 2008 before graduating as class valedictorian in 2009. Kellum was a two-time state champion in the 800-meter race in 2009 and 2010. He was also named All-Academic for cross country in 2008 and 2009. And following in his older

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

Posey moves closer to chance at mVP


ASSocIAtED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Buster Posey has gone from missing most of last season after a violent collision at home plate to winning the NL batting title. And the San Francisco Giants are headed to the playoffs as NL West champions. The 25-year-old catcher went 0 for 2 in a 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, finishing with a .336 average to claim the title. Hes the first Giants player to win it since Barry Bonds in 2004 and the first Giants catcher to do so. The previous catcher to win the NL title was Bostons Ernie Lombardi, who hit .330 in 1942. I dont think its something that you ever think about doing, Posey said. Its such a long season, and from day one, you try to grind out at-bats no matter what the situation is. And if you can go up there and are able to make some adjustments, good things will happen. In May 2011, Posey broke a bone in his left leg and tore three ankle ligaments on a horrific collision at the plate with the Florida Marlins Scott Cousins. I give a lot of credit to our entire training staff for all the work they did in the offseason to get me back on the field, he said. Even though this is an individual accomplishment, theres other people who deserve credit. Posey credited the 29 starts he made at first base for helping him endure the 162-game season. That reprieve you get over there at first base does make a difference because it is a grind, he said. Youre going to take foul balls and just sitting back in the crouch for three hours every night wears on you. The Giants finished with a 94-68 record, including 46-35 on the road. We really didnt know how much we could play him, and he exceeded our expectations, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said about Posey. To do what he did this year and win a batting title after coming off that devastating injury, its truly amazing. It shows you what a talent he is and how hard he worked to get back into playing condition.

Phillies streak ends


assocIated Press
WASHINGTON Shortly after the Philadelphia Phillies streak of nine consecutive winning seasons came to a close, they started finding scapegoats. Philadelphia lost 5-1 to the NL East champion Washington Nationals on Wednesday to finish 81-81 and in third place, following five division titles in a row. Didnt take long for the fallout to begin: The Phillies fired first base coach Sam Perlozzo, bench coach Pete Mackanin and hitting coach Greg Gross. And expect more moves. Were definitely going to have some changes on our roster, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. How many or what, I dont really know. Perlozzo, former manager of the Baltimore Orioles, joined the Phillies as their third base coach for the 2009 season. He moved to first base in 2011. Gross was Philadelphias bench coach in 2001, then hitting coach from 2002-04 and from July 2010 until Wednesday. Mackanin arrived in Philadelphia in 2009. We dug ourself in a pretty hole pretty early, and ... it was almost too much to overcome. Next year, weve got to come in and start off better, said left-hander Cliff Lee (6-9), who allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings Wednesday and finished with a losing record for the first time since 2007. Injuries hurt us pretty bad this year, but the other teams in this division have gotten better. So nothing is going to come easy, Lee added. But if were healthy and guys are out there playing the we can, then we can beat anyone. Wasnt all that long ago in 2008 and 2009, actually that the Nationals were losing 100 games a season and finishing with the worst record in the majors. But their victory Wednesday gave them a majors-high 98th victory and home-field advantage throughout the postseason. Its quite an accomplishment, third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. Obviously winning the division was a goal and now weve done that and we have a chance to go do some stuff in the playoffs. This is a great season, a great team, a good group of guys, and we accomplished a lot that we should be proud of. He continued: But we have a lot more to accomplish, hopefully. Fitted for hats with postseason patches before the game, the Nationals will open the playoffs on the road Sunday at the winner of Fridays wild-card game between Atlanta and St. Louis. Game 2 will also be at the wild-card winners stadium, before the best-of-five series shifts to Washington. A team from the nations capital hasnt participated in Major League Baseball action beyond the regular season since the Senators lost the 1933 World Series.

Padres rally for victory


assocIated Press
MILWAUKEE Chase Headley drove in two runs, finishing the season with an NL-leading 115 RBIs, and the San Diego Padres beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-6 on Wednesday night. Headley doubled home a run in the fifth inning, moments after his drive down the right-field line was called foul and confirmed when the umpires looked at a video replay. Headley hit an RBI triple in the seventh and scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly by Yonder Alonso. Headley also drew two walks and finished with a .286 batting average. His previous RBIs high was 64 in 2009. San Diego improved by five wins this year and wound up with a 76-86 record. The Padres won only five of their last 15 games. Travis Ishikawa drove in four runs for Milwaukee, including three with a double in the third that made it 6-0. The Brewers went 83-79, a drop of 13 wins after reaching the NL championship series last year. Since Aug. 20, Milwaukees 29-13 record was tops in the majors. The Brewers got within 1 games of St. Louis in the chase for the second wild-card berth, but that was dashed with a 3-6 stretch in late September. Cameron Maybin hit a two-run homer for San Diego, and five relievers held Milwaukee hitless in the final six innings. Tommy Layne (2-0) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the victory and Luke Gregerson earned his ninth save. Jim Henderson (1-3) gave up two runs in the seventh. Brewers star Ryan Braun went 1 for 4. He led the NL with 41 homers and 108 runs, and also ranked first extra-base hits, slugging percentage and total bases. Braun was second in RBIs with 112 and third in batting at .319. Braun won the NL MVP last year when he hit .332 with 33 homers, 111 RBIs and 109 runs. He faced a 50-game suspension after testing positive for elevated testosterone, but the players union appealed and the test result was overturned by baseball arbitrator Shyam Das. San Diego SS Everth Cabrera finished with 44 stolen bases to become the first Padres player to lead the league in that category. ... 3B Aramis Ramirez, who joined Milwaukee in the offseason, was taken out before the start of the third inning. He went out for warmups and received a nice hand when he was replaced by Jeff Bianchi. Ramirez set a team record for most RBIs by a third baseman (103) when he drove in a run in the first. The Brewers are the first team to lead the NL in home runs and stolen bases since the 1996 Rockies.

Goodrich awarded preseason All-Big 12 team selection


NAthAN foRDYcE
nfordyce@kansan.com Senior guard Angel Goodrich was named to the preseason AllBig 12 team. Her teammate Carolyn Davis, senior forward, received the early-season accolade of honorable mention for the team on Wednesday. The preseason all-conference teams are voted on by the coaches in the league, and coaches cannot vote for their own players. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson understands what kind of honor it is for Goodrich to be named to the AllBig 12 team with many great athletes in the conference. Im really excited for Angel, and I have so much respect for the coaches in our league, and for them to tip their hat to her is quite an honor, Henrickson said in a press release. This league has such elite players, and for Angel to be recognized as one of the top-five players in our conference is a testament to the work she has put in and just how talented she is. After a run to the Sweet 16 a year ago, Henrickson and the Jayhawks will look to lean on the two senior leaders to get back to the same position again. Angel and Carolyn are special players, and we are excited about those two and the potential they have, Henrickson said. We look for them to have fantastic senior years and lead this program again. In 2011, Goodrich had an impressive year as point guard of the Jayhawks. She led the nation in assists per game at 7.4 and also scored 14 points per game. Goodrich was also named on the Nancy Lieberman award finalist list for being the top point guard in the nation. Goodrich broke both the University and Big 12 Conference record as she tallied 250 assists. Davis season was cut short last year when she went down with a knee injury. She still led the Jayhawks in scoring with 16.9 points per game despite only playing in 23 of the 34 contests last season. Besides being named to the AllBig 12 teams, Goodrich and Davis were among the 25 female basketball players named to the 20122013 State Farm Wade Trophy watch list.

Former nFl star faces new charges related to drug-dealing ring


ASSocIAtED PRESS
DALLAS Former NFL wide receiver Sam Hurd, whose young career was brought to a halt by accusations that he tried to set up a drug-dealing ring in the middle of a season, is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday on new charges. Arrested last December, Hurd is due in Dallas federal court Wednesday afternoon to plead on a new indictment with charges related to his time out on bail earlier this year. Hurd is accused of trying to have a cousin arrange a deal to buy 5 kilograms of cocaine and 200 pounds of marijuana. The 27-year-old Hurd is being held in federal prison near Dallas. His cousin, Jesse Tyrone Chavful, and his other alleged co-conspirator, Toby Lujan, have signed guilty plea agreements. Hurds arrest during last years NFL season shocked his teammates on the Chicago Bears. Authorities have accused him of trying to set up large-scale purchases of cocaine and marijuana and accepting 1 kilogram, or 2.2 pounds, of cocaine from an undercover officer at a Chicago-area steakhouse. Hurd allegedly told the officer he wanted to eventually buy 5 to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to distribute in the Chicago area. Agents were waiting outside the steakhouse to arrest him. Hurd pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. The Bears eventually cut him. The San Antonio native played at Northern Illinois University and spent five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before signing with the Bears in 2011. The deal was reportedly worth up to $5.15 million, including a $1.35 million signing bonus and base pay this season of $685,000. Hurd was living in Texas earlier this summer when he fell back into trouble. Authorities say he failed two drug tests and also tried to arrange another deal for cocaine and marijuana through Chavful. Chavful, in documents signed Monday as part of his plea agreement, said Hurd contacted him at his T-shirt shop in San Antonio and asked to get him cocaine and marijuana. Chavfuls attorney, Laura Harper, denied that Chavful was pleading guilty in a bid of leniency at sentencing.

Former Chicago bears wide receiver sam Hurd watches teammates practice during nFl football training camp in bourbonnais, Ill. a cousin of Hurd has agreed to plead guilty in a federal drug conspiracy case involving the former nFl receiver.

#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

#17 OklAhOmA 2-1 (0-1) AT TEXAS TECh 4-0 (1-0)


The Red Raiders enjoyed their first conference win of the season, propelling them to a 4-0 start. But they are getting started for a grueling five-game stretch. Texas Tech is playing a team ranked in the top 20 in each of the next five weeks, starting with the Oklahoma Sooners at home. The Sooners have a chip on their shoulder from two weeks ago when they suffered their first loss of the season at home to Kansas State. Quarterback Landry Jones has been quiet this year. This is his chance to make some noise and for Oklahoma to forget about its loss to the Wildcats. The biggest question surrounds Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege. Can he continue performing at a high level against more respected teams in the Big 12? Wide receivers Darrin Moore and Eric Ward each have caught four touchdowns on the year, which helped the Red Raiders score over 40 points in three of their four contests. Oklahoma Coach Bob Stoops has identified Texas Techs weak point to his players, setting them up for a win on the road. Oklahoma wins, 45-24

New Zealand trip a no-go


ASSOCIAtED PRESS
WELLINGTON, New Zealand New Zealand canceled a visa for Mike Tyson on Wednesday because of his rape conviction, saying it reversed its earlier approval because a charity that would have benefited from his appearance says it wants nothing to do with the former heavyweight boxing champion. Tyson had said he had been looking forward to meeting New Zealands indigenous Maori people, the inspiration for his notorious facial tattoo. But now his whole Downunder speaking tour, scheduled for next month, is threatening to fall apart: Australian immigration authorities said theyve yet to decide whether to let him in. Tysons 1992 rape conviction would normally prevent his entry in New Zealand and could be grounds for denial in Australia as well. New Zealands denial came days after Prime Minister John Key spoke out against the visit. Tyson was to speak at a November event in Auckland, the Day of the Champions, which is being promoted by Sydney agency Markson Sparks. On Wednesday the agency continued to promote tickets for appearances in New Zealand and five major Australian cities. New Zealands Associate Immigration Minister Kate Wilkinson said she initially granted entry because a childrens health charity would get some of the proceeds from Tysons speech. She said in a statement her decision was a finely balanced call but that the charity that would have benefited, the Life Education Trust, withdrew its support Tuesday. The charitys chief executive, John OConnell, however, said the charity long ago decided not to accept any money from the event due to its concerns over Tysons character, OConnell said a volunteer trustee mistakenly sent a letter to immigration authorities supporting Tysons plans. Promoter Max Markson said hes continuing to sell tickets at between 69 and 300 Australian dollars ($71 and $308) and will give refunds if Tyson cannot appear. He said he had been hoping it might be a smoother run, but remained confident Australia would grant Tyson a visa and that New Zealand would reverse its decision when he found another suitable charity. Hell only be in the country for 20 hours, I dont think hes a danger to anybody, and thousands of people want to see him, Markson said. Would-be visitors to Australia normally must pass a character test. Those who have a substantial criminal record including people who, like Tyson, have been sentenced to more than a year in prison fail the test. But the department can use its discretion to grant such people visas. Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison for the 1991 rape of an 18-year-old woman in an Indianapolis hotel room. He served three years before being released on parole.

cabrera wins triple crown


ASSOCIAtED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Miguel Cabrera became the first player in 45 years to achieve the Triple Crown in the AL Centralchampion Detroit Tigers 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night. Cabrera went 0 for 2 with a strikeout, then left in the fourth inning of the regular-season finale. He received a standing ovation from the opposing fans. He finished with an American League-leading .330 average, 44 homers and 139 RBIs, becoming just the 15th player to achieve the milestone and the first since Bostons Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Max Scherzer pitched four innings for Detroit to test his sore right shoulder ahead of the playoffs, which the Tigers will open Saturday at home against Oakland. The bullpen took over from there, with Luis Marte (1-0) picking up the win and Luke Putkonen his first career save. Austin Jackson drove in the only run off Royals starter Luis Mendoza (8-10). The outcome of the game was secondary to Cabreras historic accomplishment. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig offered his congratulations, calling the Triple Crown a remarkable achievement that places him amongst an elite few in all of baseball history. Miguel has long been one of the most accomplished hitters in the game, Selig said, and this recognition is one that he will be able to cherish for the rest of his career. The crowd at Kauffman Stadium gave Cabrera a standing ovation before he flied out in the first inning. He struck out in the fourth inning but remained in the game, allowing Tigers manager Jim Leyland to remove him with two outs to another standing ovation. Cabrera high-fived his teammates as he descended into the Detroit dugout, and then sheepishly walked to the top step and waved his helmet, almost as if hed been playing at home. I would say without question hes enjoyed it. How could you not enjoy what hes done if youre a baseball player? Leyland said before the game. I would also add to that I doubt very much, knowing him, that he necessarily enjoys all the extra attention. Its kind of out of his realm in personality, to be honest with you. Cabreras milestone wasnt official until the Yankees pinch hit for Curtis Granderson in their game against the Boston Red Sox. Granderson had homered twice to reach 43 for the year, tied with the Rangers Josh Hamilton and one shy of Cabrera. Cabrera finished four points better than the Angles Mike Trout, his biggest competition for MVP, to win his second straight batting title. Cabrera was the runaway leader with 139 RBIs. When hes over the plate, he can do anything. Hes the best hitter in the game, Trout said. I think his approach, the way he battles with two strikes you leave one pitch over the plate that at-bat and hes going to hit it. He had an unbelievable year. The year Yastrzemski won the Triple Crown, he was part of Bostons Impossible Dream Team, which won the AL title and reached the World Series for the first time in more than two decades. The Hall of Fame outfielder said in a statement, I am glad that (Cabrera) accomplished this while leading his team to the American League Central title.
