Youll notice some changes in
The University Daily Kansan this
semester.
The most obvious may be the
redesign of the student papers
website, Kansan.com. The new
look is completely different, with
more interactive features includ-
ing the Free For All, which is now
online.
And, because more students are
getting their news online rather
than in print, the Kansan has
cut the Friday print edition and
Jayplay.
The Kansan will continue to
publish online and through social
media throughout the week, so
readers can expect new stories
every day. And to pick up the slack,
the Thursday print edition has
expanded to get students ready for
the weekend which everybody
knows starts on Thursday anyway.
Its no surprise that Fridays paper
has long been the least read of
the week. The Kansan is focus-
ing its efforts on the new media:
Facebook and Twitter.
And in print, Thursdays
paper will feature Larryville KU
Weekend, a special pull-out guide
with feature stories on the fun parts
of college life, as well as drink spe-
cials and an event calendar.
The redesigned website is a col-
laboration of web developers Tim
Shedor and Andres Cruz, along
with the Kansans advertising and
news staffs.
The Kansans online content
is available at Kansan.com, the
University Daily Kansan Facebook
page, and the Twitter accounts @
UDK_News, @UDK_Sports and @
UDK_Opinion.

Garrett rathbone, a senior from
McPherson, frontside fips over the transi-
tion at Centennial Park saturday afternoon.
L
ocated near the cor-
ner of Sixth Street
and Rockledge
Road, skateboard in hand and
friends lagging behind. He drops
his skateboard onto the ground,
places one foot on the board and
effortlessly glides around, greet-
ing a few of the two-dozen peo-
ple already at the park. Its a Sat-
urday morning, and Rathbone, a
senior from McPherson, is doing
what he usually does at this time
hes on his board, practicing.
Rathbones skateboarding ca-
reer began when he was 10 years
old and saw a halfpipe in his
uncles backyard. Twelve years
later, Rathbone is an amateur
skateboarder with three spon-
sors: Perfect Skateboards, Vox
Footwear and White Chocolate
Skate Shop. He has received first,
second or third place at more
than 30 competitions through-
out the U.S. Earlier this month,
Rathbone won the Alt Games
National College Skateboarding
Championship in Huntington
Beach, Calif., beating out 24
other collegiate skateboarders.
Rathbone qualified first in
preliminaries at the Alt Games
on Aug. 3, gaining the advantage
to skate last in the finals. Each
skater was allowed 10 attempts
to land tricks in the finals, and
the judges scored their five best
tries.
We got graded on consisten-
cy and the hardness of the tricks
landed, Rathbone said. Theres
this thing called a kickflip back-
side boardslide. Once I landed
that in the finals, I had it down.
Thats my trick that if I land it,
I know that Im skating fairly
well.
Rathbone credits his family,
especially his father, Gary, with
supporting his skateboarding
career. Rathbones hometown
did not have a skatepark when
he began skating, so Gary who
works in construction, built his
son a ramp. Now several ramps,
three handrails, two sets of stairs
and a pyramid consume the
Rathbones backyard. And it was
Gary who encouraged his son
to enter the national collegiate
competition.
I watched the competition
last year, and I knew he could
win. The other kids are college
kids who skateboard. Garrett is
a skateboarder who goes to col-
lege, Gary Rathbone said. He
lives for it. And I could tell. I
could tell he would win.
Rathbones roommate, Alec
Smith, a junior from Paola, met
Rathbone two years ago Centen-
nial Park. They have been skat-
ing together ever since.
We come nearly everyday,
Smith said. We try to, anyway.
Some days were not feeling it,
but most days we are. We come
even if we dont feel like it some-
times.
Even with a full-time job and
graduation in sight,he will con-
tinue to skate a few hours a day,
seven days a week.
Skateboarding is fun. Im go-
ing to skate until it doesnt get
fun anymore, he said. Skate-
boarding is independent, and
I like that. Its cool relying on
yourself and taking orders from
yourself. But its also very com-
munal, and sometimes its just
fun bombing hills, riding down
the street, skating as fast as pos-
sible with your friends, about to
eat crap if you hit a rock and not
caring.
Gary and Sharon Rathbone
still get nervous when they watch
their son compete. However,
Rathbones parents now watch
from their living room television
rather than the sidelines of a
skatepark. They said they would
continue to encourage their sons
skateboarding however long and
far he goes
I think he can go quite a
ways, Gary said. Its always
been the most important thing
in his life.

Te KU Social Media Triathlon
is challenging students to use Twit-
ter, Instagram and Foursquare to
promote Jayhawk pride and school
spirit from August 14 to 31. Partici-
pants are encouraged to complete
each leg of the triathlon and post
their contribution to Twitter using
the #exploreKU hashtag.
Te Twitter Hawku is the frst
leg of the triathalon. Students write
a three-line poem about their fa-
vorite place on campus. Once the
Hawku is completed, students take
an Instagram photo demonstrat-
ing what the University means to
them.
Rhiannon Rosas, a sophomore
from Overbrook, said she enjoyed
the Instagram aspect the most.
Im also a photographer and
campus is so gorgeous, so why not
take a bunch of pictures of it for ev-
eryone to see, Rosas said.
To cross the fnish line, students
must check in at a campus location
on Foursquare. Participants can
complete in one or all three legs. If
students fnish all three legs of the
triathlon, they will be entered into
a random drawing to win one of six
grand prizes including VIP tickets
to Late Night at the Phog, an iPad,
a tour of Allen Fieldhouse and An-
derson Family Football Complex
and more.
Justin Henning, the social media
manager for the Ofce of Market-
ing Communications, is oversee-
ing the competition, and the entire
marketing communications and
public afairs team helped organize
and bring this event to life.
We want students to make this
campus their own and fnd success
in the classroom, connect with stu-
dent groups that ft their interests
and make some friends, Henning
said. Really just have some fun as
they discover all that campus has to
ofer.
KU is ranked frst in social media
among universities by TrackSocial,
so this triathlon will further the
success and campus engagement.

TOPEKA, Kan. Kan-
sas Attorney General Derek
Schmidt launched an initia-
tive Wednesday aimed at edu-
cating the public about the
warning signs of gang activ-
ity.
During a statewide tour
with stops in Kansas City, To-
peka and Wichita, Schmidt
announced a new website and
partnership with law enforce-
ment to reduce the number of
gang members and curb crim-
inal activity.
The idea is really very sim-
ple. We know we have a gang
issue in Kansas, said Schmidt,
a Republican and former Sen-
ate majority leader. We also
know that most Kansans real-
ly dont understand the nature
of it, the extent of it, or even
the geography of it.
He said the problem isnt
confined to the states largest
cities or the suburbs that ring
it, noting that earlier this year
federal agents coordinated
with local authorities to arrest
and charge some 30 individu-
als on gang-related charges in
Dodge City in southwestern
Kansas.
Among the coalition of
partners joining the attorney
generals effort are the Kan-
sas Association of Chiefs of
Police, the Kansas Sheriffs
Association, Kansas Highway
Patrol, Kansas Bureau of In-
vestigation and the Kansas
District Attorneys Associa-
tion.
Topeka Police Chief Ron
Miller said his department was
aware of the gang problem in
the capital city and where they
often operated. But he said the
problem is difficult to tackle
and that gangs often have in-
terwoven associations because
of family relations or other
connections that can blur what
the public perceives to be gang
activity.
Miller said that the city had
hundreds of documented gang
members but it is a problem
most of the community doesnt
know how to define or address.
These kinds of things hap-
pen in a community, and peo-
ple make assumptions based on
what they know and what they
dont know, Miller said. The
idea is to get the word out and
draw attention to this issue,
bring it forward so people can
see that theres something being
done about it.
The materials include tips
about warning signs that a
youth might be involved with a
gang or recruited by one. Those
signs include tattoos, bruising,
using unusual hand signs or
language or a change in behav-
ior.
Schmidt said community
awareness and education can
help identify if gang activity is
occurring and how to contact
law enforcement for assistance.
The online materials are avail-
able in English, Spanish and
Vietnamese. He said the online
materials would continue to
expand as the members of the
coalition determined what was
appropriate and needed to in-
form the public.
This is not a law enforce-
ment problem. This is a com-
munity problem, he said.

Luke Ranker
DUShANBE, tajikistan
Tajikistan government troops
opened fire Wednesday on a crowd
protesting the unexplained killing
of an influential local leader in an
eastern town, local residents say.
Witnesses say two people were
reportedly injured after hundreds
gathered in front of Khorog re-
gional headquarters to demand
an explanation for the overnight
death of Imumnazar Imumnaz-
arov, a former warlord during the
countrys civil war in the 1990s.
Authorities would not comment
on the incident when contacted by
The Associated Press. While orga-
nized crime is known to be rife in
remote areas of Tajikistan, many
analysts believe the government
has launched a crackdown on
former warlords as a pretext for
stamping its authority on areas of
the country not entirely under its
control.
The renewed instability in the
remote Gorno-Badakhshan au-
tonomous province, which shares
a long border with Afghanistan,
comes weeks after armed clashes
between troops and local armed
groups left around 50 people
dead.
Danger of further conflict ap-
peared to have been forestalled
earlier this month by armed groups
agreeing to hand over hundreds of
weapons.
This impoverished ex-Soviet
nation still bears the scars of
the five-year civil war that is es-
timated to have killed more than
60,000 people. Tajikistans loca-
tion also makes it strategically
important to the U.S. war effort in
Afghanistan as an important sup-
plies route.
Imumnazarov one of four
former warlords active during
the civil war was sought with
the four others by authorities last
month on charges including drug
and tobacco smuggling. Two of
the men surrendered to authorities
earlier this month, but Imumnaz-
arov and another man remained
at large.
The hunt was ostensibly sparked
by last months murder of Abdullo
Nazarov, a general in Tajikistans
national intelligence service,
which authorities blamed on one
of the warlords, Tolib Ayombekov,
who has already surrendered.
Imumnazarovs brother and
other members of his entourage
were injured in the armed attack
on his home Tuesday night. Due to
injuries sustained during the war,
Imumnazarov was incapacitated
at the time, and also bed-ridden
with diabetes.
Residents in Khorog said hun-
dreds of mostly young people at-
tending his funeral gathered at
the regional administration build-
ing on Wednesday to allege the
governments involvement in the
killing.
Government forces opened fire
after some threw stones at the
building, wounding at least two
people in the legs, eyewitnesses
said.
Telephone connections to
Khorog were severed following the
events.
BERLIN German police say
at least 30 children have been in-
jured, some of them seriously, after a
bus they were traveling in overturned
on a southern highway.
A Bavarian police spokesman
says the driver appeared to have lost
control of the bus during a sudden
hailstorm near the town of Freising
on Wednesday afternoon.
Ulrich Poepsel said police sent
anything with a siren to the site
of the accident including several
helicopters that ferried the injured
children to nearby hospitals.
He says the bus was registered
in the German town of Dachau and
was taking children home from a
holiday trip.
Poepsel said the overturned bus
caused a second crash involving
several vehicles for which casualty
figures were still unclear.

Students look to help locals
Super Service Saturday is one
of many opportunities for stu-
dents to get involved with the
Lawrence community and con-
nect with other Kansas students
through volunteer work.
Center for Community
Outreach will be hosting Super
Service Saturday this weekend.
Students can sign up to volunteer
from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Big
12 room in the Kansas Union.
Free pizza and T-shirts will be
provided. At 1 p.m. students will
be shuttled to their desired volun-
teer locations and shuttled back to
the Union at 3 p.m.
We are in this community and
we are at KU but sometimes we
dont really feel Lawrence around
us, said Jill Wenderott, CCO
executive director. By volunteer-
ing with the CCO, you can really
reach out and connect with your
community. You get to see more
of the city and you get to interact
with a lot of people.
During Super Service Saturday,
students will also learn about
the 13 volunteer programs that
are coordinated by the Center
for Community Outreach. The
programs have their volunteer
services once or twice a week or
monthly. Students can also sign
up on the CCO website, www.
cco.ku.edu, or by showing up at
a volunteer site during the times
of service.
Each of the 13 programs has
different volunteer opportunities.
The jobs include working with
children in music, teaching, gar-
dening, working with the elderly,
helping the homeless and working
in health areas.
The retention of volunteers
is always a problem, Wenderott
said. The CCO doesnt require
people to RSVP, and you dont
have to be totally committed.
The CCO, located in the Kansas
Union, reaches out to about 3,000
volunteers a year. Along with its
ongoing programs, the CCO orga-
nizes service days, such as Super
Service Saturday. Other popular
service days make up Into the
Streets Week, which takes place
in the spring.
Making those connections
with people who have the same
interests as you and the same pas-
sion for giving back to the com-
munity gives you that personal
benefit, said Nikki Boggess, CCO
managing director. Seeing the
way you affect people with your
community service is amazing.
United Way Roger Hill
Volunteer Center, 2518 Ridge
Court, is another volunteer orga-
nization in Lawrence. It works
with more than 100 volunteer
agencies. A list of agency loca-
tions, volunteer needs and sign-
ups are available at www.volun-
teerdouglascounty.org.
United Way director Lori Johns
said the Boys and Girls Club
is a popular volunteer spot for
college students.
We get a lot of KU students
looking for volunteer opportuni-
ties to get involved with the com-
munity of where they are going
to school, or for a class, or maybe
they just want to check out a spe-
cific field of interest, Johns said.
Volunteering at a hospital
helped Eric Sparks, a senior from
Topeka, come to a realization.
It gave me appreciation for the
amount of work it takes to keep a
hospital going, Sparks said. Just
being there helped me figure out
that med school wasnt quite for
me.
Kelsey Corrigan, a junior from
Olathe, said she is passionate
about health and wellness for chil-
dren. She has volunteered with a
Kansas City organization, Girls in
the Run, for the past four seasons.
Last season she helped a girl who
wasnt physically active become
excited about running.
It has to do with what Im
studying in school, Corrigan
said. It gives me a good sense
of well-being because Im actu-
ally doing something to benefit
people. Philanthropy is huge. Its
important to give back. Weve
been given our talents for a rea-
son.

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

FRESNO, Calif. (AP)
The federal government and
McDonalds Corp. suspended
purchases of meat Wednesday
from a California slaughterhouse
under investigation for ani-
mal cruelty and possible health
issues.
The fast-food chain joined the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
in severing ties with Central
Valley Meat Co.
The suspensions occurred after
an animal welfare groups covert
video showed cows that appeared
to be sick or lame being beaten,
kicked, shot and shocked in an
attempt to get them to walk to
slaughter.
There are behaviors in the
video which appear to be unac-
ceptable and would not adhere
to the standards we demand of
our suppliers, McDonalds said
in release.
Federal officials say nothing
they have seen so far in the video
shows meat from cows that may
have been sick made it into the
food supply, but interviews with
employees were ongoing.
The video was shot in June and
July by an undercover operative
for the group Compassion Over
Killing who worked at the plant
and also gave a written statement
to the USDA about events not
on tape.
We do know that workers were
trying to make non-ambulatory
cows not eligible for slaughter go
to slaughter, said Erica Meier,
executive director of the animal
welfare organization. We believe
red flags are raised for sure with
our video, but its up to the USDA
to decide.
Its against the law to slaugh-
ter a non-ambulatory animal
for food out of concern that it
could be infected with bovine
spongiform encephalopathy, also
known as mad cow disease.
The Hanford slaughterhouse
is in the same city where a dairy
cow at a rendering plant was dis-
covered in April to have mad cow
disease. The USDA said earlier
this month it was an isolated case
and didnt pose a threat to the
food supply.
Central Valley Meat Co. pri-
marily slaughters dairy cows that
have lost their value as milk pro-
ducers.
The USDA bought 21 million
pounds of beef from the company
in 2011 for the national school
lunch and other federal food pro-
grams.
Records show the government
made five large-scale purchases of
ground and chunk beef, spending
more than $50 million of the total
$135 allocated by the government
for such acquisitions that year.
USDA spokesman Justin
DeJong said he did not know
to which government food pro-
grams the beef was allocated.
The meat generally goes to the
national school lunch program
and food distribution on Indian
reservations, and is available for
discount purchases by commu-
nity food banks.
The department works to
ensure that product purchased
for the federal feeding programs
meets stringent food safety stan-
dards and that processors comply
with humane handling regula-
tions, the USDA said in a state-
ment.
McDonalds also said it had
suspended purchases of meat
from the slaughterhouse. The
company did not immediately
say how much meat it had been
buying. But a spokesman for the
chain said the percentage of meat
purchased from the slaughter-
house was in the single digits.
Regional fast-food chain In-N-
Out Burger previously suspended
purchases after learning of the
allegations of inhumane treat-
ment.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture acted quickly to shut
down Central Valley Meat Co.
of Hanford on Monday after the
video documented the treatment
of dairy cows.
The video appears to show
workers bungling the slaughter
of cows struggling to walk and
even stand. Clips show workers
kicking and shocking cows to
get them to stand and walk to
slaughter.

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

At one time, movie themes
and genres were original but like
Carly Rae Jepsens song Call Me
Maybe, the plots are overplayed.
If you take away sequels, re-
makes, and movies adapted from
books, youre lef with animated
movies and not much else.
I dont mean to sound like
Randy from most of the Scream
movies, but I think there are cer-
tain rules writers should abide
by before making a sequel. Te
most important rule being that
unless you can provide viewers a
better experience than the origi-
nal and add to the plot, it isnt
worth our time or the studios
time.
Te same goes for remakes. I
recently saw the 2012 remake of
Total Recall and the best part
was the hot dog and nachos from
the concession stand. Tere were
some pretty important aspects
missing from the original movie.
For example, it took place on
Mars. Also, anyone who has
seen the original remembers the
reactor at the end that Arnold
Schwarzenegger activates with
his hand. So many of these little
details that were monumental
in movie-goers fondness of this
flm were overlooked and flled
with graphics and high-tech
chase scenes in the new Total
Recall. Movie studios see dollar
signs because the original was a
hit. It was a hit for a reason. You
cant expect to just flm a remake
and expect to hit gold.
I miss originality in flms. You
know, seeing a movie for the frst
time and knowing that Im liter-
ally seeing it for the frst time.
Inception was one of the flms.
It wasnt based of a book or part
of a vampire-sucking series, but
instead it was fresh and diferent.
It also made over $800 million,
so it seems a lot of people agreed.
Its one of those movies you could
watch again and again, mainly to
fgure out the ending.
Other classics that stand on
their own are Te Matrix,
Black Swan, and one of my
favorites, Good Will Hunting.
I dont think theres a science
behind having a successful flm
but I think it defnitely needs to
start with a good script, cast and
manageable budget.
Tere are just too many ex-
amples of greedy studios trying
to capitalize on the successes of
flms in a series that they just
keep going until they are so
far from the storyline of any of
the other flms. Case-in-point:
Indiana Jones. Talk about a
movie that has been ruined for
me. Granted this series was
started before I was born, but
its one of those classics you just
have to watch (or maybe its my
inner-archeologist inside of me
speaking). Nonetheless, the lat-
est installment Indiana Jones
and the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull that came out in 2008 was
just too far-fetched. One, they
waited too long to try and con-
tinue the story and two, there
was a bar set with the previous
flms.
Tis is where my rule comes
into efect. If you cant at least
raise the bar and bring some-
thing new to the flm, you should
just stop. Let audiences enjoy
what was and not ruin good
memories.

Te best part about college
also happens to be the worst part
about college: you dont have to
go to class if you dont want to.
I took advantage of this prac-
tice several times my freshman
year at the University of Kansas,
and my grades certainty showed
it. Afer my frst semester, I was
staring down academic proba-
tion with a 1.33 GPA, and risking
expulsion if I didnt pick up the
slack the following semester.
I want to tell everyone to learn
from my story. Go to class, I
tell them. Dont be like me.
But everyone has heard this over
and over, from his or her parents
to their ex-teachers from high
school. Tey all said the same
thing: study hard, or else youll
be back here asking if customers
want fries with their Big Mac.
Most of the new students at
Kansas this semester are fnally
free, independent from all the
shackles that a high school stu-
dent had to sufer through for
four years. Your mom cant tell
you when to be home on a school
night anymore, and if you want to
eat pizza at 3 a.m. on a Wednes-
day night, go right ahead.
But of course, there are always
consequences, and with more
freedom comes more responsi-
bility. You can go out every night
and party with all the other col-
lege kids that seem to think the
next four years are just for fun
instead of the frst step to your
career, but eventually reality will
set in, and you will have to make
up for lost time.
Tat reality set in for me over
winter break of my freshman
year. While staying at home with
my parents over the break, they
sat me down and had a serious
discussion with me over my
future, and whatever the hell I
just did in the recent past. Tey
had to remind me that if I wasnt
going to focus, Id be throwing
thousands of dollars away, and
would get nothing in return.
When I look back, its just
sad. Tere I was, a freshman
in college, not understanding
the gravity of my own situation.
Constantly telling myself I had
everything under control while
my transcript said the opposite.
Te following semester, I did
get my act together, but it still
wasnt great. Not until I changed
my major did I fnally feel like
I belonged at Kansas and had a
chance to graduate.
Tis past Monday was the
frst day of my senior year, and
many of my friends are shocked
that Im actually graduating on
time. Although in May, when I
walk away from Lawrence with a
degree, there will still be uncer-
tainty. As of right now, I have no
idea what Im actually doing with
my life. But Ill be a lot better of
with a degree in my hand than
sitting back at home in my par-
ents basement wondering what
could have been if I just would
have tried harder.
So, let this be a warning to
you. Im not your parent, or your
high school counselor, or even
that college drop-out your high
school principal brought in to try
to teach you a lesson. No, Im one
of your classmates thats been in
the exact spot youre in, and if
you dont want to listen to those
Ive already mentioned, at least
take it from a kid that has lived
through the situation.
Going to class and actually
trying is the only reason youre in
college. Lawrence is a great col-
lege town, but remember, youre
here for more than the nightlife.

In college, more
freedom means
more responsibility
I wonder how many FFas are the
result of someone giving out the FFa
number as their own? Disheartened
fratters must make for good material.
That awkward moment when youre
literally 10 steps behind the same
person all the way from Watson to
Learned.
I dont know what gigem means
but it sounds like something Id want
to do to everyone who uses the saying.
To the boy who was running past
Watson last night at about 6:15: you
look like Josh Hutcherson, and I want
your number.
If she dont remember the Mizzou
game shes too young for you bro.
The FFa is a place for hilarious
comments and witty remarks, not
PSas. Speak out, get help.
Hey dumb ass, aint nobody on
this campus wanna hear your self-
recorded rap music. Turn your Beats
down... bro
I heard someone being offered a
coupon book, and he said he had 8.
To that the one giving them out said,
well now you can have 9.
The amount of bro-science at the
rec is already reaching critical mass.
I can speak whale!!!
Ooohhhhwaahhhhhh. Oh maybe
a different dialect! I can speak
humpback! MUHOOUUHHaaaaa!
Nothing is more hilarious than
watching the newcomers chase after
a campus red... it comes every 5
minutes... wait or look dumb... the
choice is yours.
The smokers who light up while
walking on campus should have to
use underground tunnels instead of
the sidewalks.
If youre gonna hate on frat packs
in the FFa, at least learn how to spell
whale correctly. (Editors Note: That
was my bad. :( Sorry, everyone.)
To whoever had the oh god I
hope the last thing I was looking at
wasnt porn moment. Trust me, its
the worst.
If you are not a patient person, do
the rest of us a favor and refrain from
driving on campus twenty minutes
before and after the hour.
I think the reason were not a top
20 party school is our shit is way too
together. Start losing it, people!
My friend doesnt even go to KU
and he gets into the FFa more than
I do.
I missed the giant Sudoku. It
makes it all the more blatant to my
professor that I dont give a crap on
the third day.
That awkward moment when a
guy walks into you 8 a.m. class at
8:36 and he isnt even in the right
class. #Freshman
Sodas are more expensive this
year and I get one less sushi roll
than usual. KU Dining: Charge
more, eat less
My roommate bakes when she is
stressed the other roommate and
I eat when we are stressed. Kinda
works out.
To the guy who said, I have
secret spirit squad stuff to do Im
on to you Big Jay... Im on to you.
There needs to be two lanes on
the sidewalks. One for people that
mosey and another for people that
have seven minutes to get from
Malott to JRP.
I have managed to dodge both
fre alarms at McCollum so far. Im
like some sort of ninja.
I found a quiet bathroom with
two ply toilet paper. Its going to be
a good year.
Wait... there is a whale in Potter
Lake?!
I feel 168 MIPs issued last year
is the KU police force saying We
dont give a shit about underage
drinking not Were really cracking
down.
To the person in my human
sexuality class that reeks of pot--
lets be friends.

LOS ANGELES Avril Lavi-

Chad Kroeger arent just making

hitched.
A spokeswoman for Lavi-

the 27-year-old pop singer and
37-year-old rocker became en-
gaged earlier this month after
dating for six months.
The magazine says Lavigne
was introduced to Kroeger in
February when they met to co-
write a song for Lavignes up-
coming album.
It will be the first marriage for
Kroeger and the second for Lavi-
gne. She filed for divorce in 2009
from Sum 41 frontman Deryck
Whibley after three years of mar-
riage.
Lavigne surged to fame with
her 2002 album Lets Go.
Kroeger has served as lead vocal-
ist and guitarist for Nickelback
since the band formed in 1995.

Expendables 2 falls fat despite
star-studded cast.
Te Expendables franchise
was founded on a seemingly noble
desire to remind viewers of a time
when action heroes were free from
moral ambiguity, psychological
complexity or anything resembling
identifable human emotions. All
those Reagan-era supermen ever
needed were big guns, bigger explo-
sions, thick accents to compliment
their Charles Atlas physiques, and
an arsenal of one-liners to remind
the audience it was all in good
fun. Teir best movies were cheap,
cheerfully disposable entertain-
ment. So why does Simon Wests
Expendables 2 feel disposable?
Afer a lackluster debut, this was
supposed to be the big box ofce
hit, the cheesey equivalent of Te
Avengers, that would fnally unite
the entire pantheon, including the
oily trinity of Sylvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce
Willis, for a fnal shot at cinematic
glory. Te result is a ftfully plotted,
borderline-nonsensical exercise in
excess that is sure to please only
the most undemanding fans. When
the highlight of a movie is Chuck
Norris telling a Chuck Norris
joke, something has gone horribly
wrong.
Te story hinges, yet again, on
Barney Ross (Stallone), his right-
hand man Lee Christmas (Jason
Statham) and their merry band of
mercenaries, a revolving roster of
roustabouts including everyone
from UFC legend Randy Couture
to beloved Old Spice spokesman
Terry Crews. Te team is hired by
CIA slewfoot Mr. Church (Willis)
to hunt down a plutonium-pinch-
ing megalomaniac (Jean-Claude
Van Damme), whose surname
Vilain demonstrates the level of wit
on display here.
Perhaps the flms worst ofense
can be found in its marketing,
which promised a feature length
team-up instead of a series of in-
sipid, self-indulgent cameos. Blink
and youre apt to miss Jet Lis Wushu
master and Liam Hemsworth as the
teams resident whippersnapper.
Schwarzenegger is willing but wast-
ed in his role as a rival mercenary,
spouting recycled wisecracks be-
fore disappearing for long stretches
of the flm. Stallone, meanwhile,
seems nearly omnipresent, slurring
his way through indecipherable
speeches about honor and loyalty
that always seem to end with him
lighting an already-lit cigar.
West, a flmmaker whose career
got of to a promising start with
Con Air, knows how to stage an
action scene, yet fails to produce
anything memorable here, with
the possible exception of Jason
Stathams monastery knife fght
with several of Vilains henchmen.
Statham, the Cockney brawler who
previously starred in Wests enter-
taining remake of Te Mechanic,
is the only Expendable giving a
performance instead of an imper-
sonation. His one-sided banter
with Stallone marks an occasional
reprieve from a flm that otherwise
smacks of contempt and compro-
mise. Old-school action fans de-
serve better.

A back-to-school concert will
be held on the 9th floor terrace
of The Oread Friday night from 8
p.m. to 11 p.m. Quiet Corral and
The Noise FM will be featured.
The event is open to all ages and
tickets are $5.
This concert gives students an
opportunity to meet new friends
while enjoying the indie music.
I think itll be a good night.
Its the first big night back for
students. We have a lot of friends
coming and are definitely hop-
ing for a big turnout, said Isaac
Flynn, guitarist and singer of
Quiet Corral.
The 9th floor terrace of The
Oread, referred to as The Nest,
will allow attendees to experience
local music with a view of the
whole town. Itll be nice to play
somewhere in Lawrence thats
non-traditional. It means a lot to
us, especially for some of the guys
who havent been back on campus
in a few years, Flynn said.
Everyone is welcome and the
doors open at 7 p.m.
The kids are all right, even the
ones who talk to the dead.
On the surface, theres a lot
about ParaNorman that seems
familiar. Norman (Kodi Smit-
McPhee) is a timid, lonely kid
whose clairvoyant gifts have
made him a pariah at school and
a stranger in his own home. His
parents, already concerned over
his fondness for zombie movies,
cant help but worry when they
hear him conversing with his
recently deceased grandmother
(Elaine Stritch) and a host of
other transient spirits. Normans
only friend with a pulse is the
tubby, exuberant Neil (Tucker
Albrizzi), who accompanies
Norman on his quest to lift an
age-old curse after a wild-eyed
hobo (John Goodman) reveals a
dark secret involving the towns
infamous witch trials.
At first the story seems like
standard kiddy fare, where the
outsider becomes the hero after
realizing some great destiny. Yet
the spindly, careworn animation,
coupled with pitch-perfect voice
acting and a synth-heavy sound-
track worthy of John Carpenter,
transcend the deceptively sim-
ple narrative. ParaNorman
may lack the emotional heft
of Monster House or Laikas
previous effort Coraline, but
it more than makes up for it
in terms of style and vision.
The painstaking process of stop-
motion, this time coupled with
CGI augmentation, has certainly
never looked better.
Smit-McPhee, so memorable
in The Road and the supreme-
ly underrated Let Me In, voic-
es Norman with just the right
level of oddball tenacity. Anna
Kendrick channels bossy older
siblings everywhere as Normans
sister Courtney, whose indif-
ference toward her brother is
only rivaled by her affection for
neighborhood gym rat Mitch,
played by Casey Affleck in a
role that defines against-type
casting. Goodman, one of our
most valuable character actors,
brings his usual husky, guttur-
al gusto to the mysterious Mr.
Prenderghast.
In the end though, the films
real impact comes from its abil-
ity to evoke the viewers own
inner weird kid, that part of
us who still remembers what
its like to be alone, afraid or
unwanted. Compassion, it seems
to argue, is a two-way street.
At one point a character asks
Norman if he ever thinks about
getting revenge on his school-
yard tormentors. His answer:
Sure, but what good would that
do? For a movie so taken with
death, ParaNorman is often
strangely life-affirming.
FINAL RATING: 3 out of
4 stars

AUGUST 23
Because the stars
know things we dont.
aries (March 21-april 19)
Today is a 4
How you focus your energy will
change substantially. You suddenly will
concentrate on joint fnancial matters
and agreements. You might fnd that a
partner can be very diffcult. The good
news is that this, too, will pass. The
bad news is that you will have to put
up with it in the meantime. Tonight: A
discussion does not need to turn into
a fght.
Taurus (april 20-May 20)
Today is a 5
Your popularity seems to soar. Do not
question the moment; simply enjoy it. You
also discover that someone is on your
case, whether you feel this is fair or not.
Remember, there always are alternatives.
You will be able to move a diffcult situ-
ation in the right direction. Tonight: Who,
where and what?
gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 5
Your ability to do research and fnd
answers emerges, perhaps by necessity.
Confusion seems to surround a key ques-
tion. You might very well decide to fnd
your own solutions. Others who know your
abilities will be more relaxed, too. Tonight:
Take a walk by water, or choose some other
stressbuster.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 5
You have a big imagination. Often, that
can be a positive thing, and other times
this gift can be a double-edged sword. Use
your ingenuity to fgure out how to handle
a fnancial matter. Make sure you are not
walking through quicksand before you act.
Tonight: Let the fun begin.
Leo (July 23-aug. 22)
Today is a 3
Stress has a way of building if you are
not careful, especially if there is a mis-
understanding between you and someone
else. Stay centered by paying attention to
your general feelings toward that person.
If you can, avoid letting a diffcult situa-
tion become even more diffcult. Tonight:
Express your feriness.
Virgo (aug. 23-sept. 22)
Today is a 4
You might be more out of sorts than
you realize. Could you be misinterpret-
ing others words? Dont read too much
into what is being said. Remain caring,
and initiate a conversation to clear out a
problem later today. Tonight: Talks over
dinner.
Libra (sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 5
Keep expressing your feelings, but do
not be surprised if you get an odd reac-
tion midway. Be generous when dealing
with this person. Your compassion will
come back tenfold. Schedule time to do
some shopping ASAP. Tonight: Buy that
special item.
scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 5
You are in your element. You could be
confused by a boss or older friend. This
person not only is confusing you, but also
him- or herself, the more he or she talks.
Be diplomatic. Tonight: Whatever you do,
choose a physical activity. You need to let
off steam.
sagittarius (Nov. 22-dec.21)
Today is a 3
Know when to pull back. You might feel
as if you must do something, but in reality
you do not know what that is. You will fg-
ure it out if you can stay centered. A caring
gesture toward a loved one at a distance
draws an exciting response. Tonight: Take
some much-needed time.
Capricorn (dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 4
You know what you want, and you know
that you have no interest in stopping. You
will be more centered than you have been
in a while. A meeting proves to be most in-
strumental in helping you focus on a long-
term goal. Tonight: Where the crowds are.
aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 3
Note how much pressure builds to get
you to do certain things in a particular way.
Explain why you do what you do. The more
you are pushed, the more you push back.
That trait cannot help you in the long run.
Tonight: Try to be more reasonable.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 5
You want more information, and you
are determined to get it. An initial at-
tempt at being direct might not work,
and actually could backfre. Detach from
the immediate problem; the answers will
appear. Tonight: Let your mind wander to
good music.
hOrOsCOPEs
AUGUST 24
Today is a 3
You might be somewhat bothered by
a dream or premonition you have this
morning. Though you typically are cyni-
cal of intuition, especially your own,
you might try honoring it today. News or
an invitation could be instrumental to
a new start. Why not go for it? Tonight:
Wherever there is music.
Today is a 4
Work with a partner or loved one di-
rectly. You are far more powerful as a
team than you are separately. You might
want to resolve some confusion surround-
ing mixed messages. Move forward with a
strong sense of direction. Tonight: Find a
favorite person.
Today is a 4
Someone does not hesitate to question
your decisions, and others simply seem
challenging. Tension builds as a result.
A discussion with a respected authority
fgure centers you. You might want to fnd
out how this person would handle certain
situations. Tonight: Enjoy all the new faces
around you.
Today is a 3
Focus on what you need to do get done;
avoid getting sidetracked by others. You
can kick back when you fnish. A late lunch
could become an early dinner. Dont worry
-- just enjoy it. Reach out for someone at
a distance. Is it time for a mini-trip? To-
night: Join friends and/or associates.
Today is a 5
Your imagination adds to the fever
and enthusiasm surrounding a project, a
special friend or an activity with a child.
Where others trip up with confusion and
miss an opportunity, you will not. In fact,
youll create an exciting adventure out of
a boring happening. Tonight: Let the fun
begin.
Today is a 4
Stay close to what is familiar to you,
as right now there could be a sense of
confusion. You might want to rethink
your communication style. Confrm ap-
pointments. Do not get upset about a
partners or dear friends vagueness.
Tonight: Home is where the heart is.
Today is a 4
You might need to repeat yourself
in several different ways to make your
point or even just to be heard. You could
be frustrated by someones ambiguity.
Any attempts at communication could
be diffcult later today. Return calls and
schedule meetings. Tonight: Go to a fa-
vorite spot.
Today is a 5
Be aware of what someone has to of-
fer. You have the same versatility, but a
different set of skills. Together, you make
quite a team. A loved one or child needs
extra attention. Detach, and look at the
whole picture. Tonight: Be careful with
your fnances.
Today is a 5
Your actions make all the difference in
a domestic matter that goes from confus-
ing and disappointing to very pleasing.
Zero in on a long-term goal if you really
want it to happen. You might be surprised
at the results of one day. Tonight: What-
ever knocks your socks off!
Today is a 2
Take your time discerning what is hap-
pening around you. Slow down and clarify
facts -- doing so might be more important
than you realize. Ask questions to verify
what you think. Tonight: Not to be found.
Today is an 5
A meeting could go longer than you
intended. You might want to postpone
it until the end of the day. Your fnances
could seem strange at frst, whether it is
because of an offer or diffculty realizing
a momentary goal. Dont worry; you will be
able to clarify the situation. Tonight: Fa-
vorite spot, favorite people.
Today is a 3
Tension builds surrounding a supe-
rior or a community and/or business
situation. Your intentions might be well-
meaning, but others do not receive your
ideas clearly until you reiterate your rea-
soning several times. Tonight: A force to
be dealt with.
AUGUST 25
Today is a 4
Reach out for someone at a distance,
or make plans to visit this person. You
might have quite a few people you have
not spent time with in a while. Expect a
lot of activity, and understand that you
are the one who triggered it. A serious
partner seems to lighten up. Tonight:
Opt for adventure, not the same old
ho-hum thing.
Today is a 4
A partnership (and maybe not yours)
demands attention. Whether youre help-
ing a couple or actively relating to a
partner or loved one, you have your hands
happily full. You might not have the fery
get-up-and-go that others have, but you
more than make up for it today. Tonight:
How about dinner for two?
Today is a 5
Make it your pleasure to defer to a
friend, family member or loved one. You
could afford to be docile and supportive,
as you also demand a lot of support and
feedback at times. A child or loved one is
overserious. You know how to help this per-
son lighten up. Tonight: Go with an offer.
Today is a 4
Plunge into a project that you feel has
been on the back burner for too long. Your
ability to listen and honor others ideas is
high. Feel free to reject their ideas as well.
You have a strong sense of what works for
you. Let go of an uptight attitude. Tonight:
Choose only what you want to do.
Today is a 5
You certainly know how to take a day off
and enjoy yourself. Your choices vary ac-
cording to your age and lifestyle. Choose
something you absolutely love to do and
share it with someone else. Clearly, you
understand the benefts of give-and-take
on all levels. Tonight: Let the fun begin.
Today is a 3
Share more often with a roommate or
family member. You want the strength
and support of that bond to stay intact.
An opportunity arises surrounding a
responsibility, a superior and/or work.
Trust your abilities to balance these dif-
ferent factions in your life. Tonight: Time
for some relaxation.
Today is an 4
You continue to communicate as you
always have, but you discover that oth-
ers now immediately grasp what you
are saying. See the difference a day or
so makes? A call is packed with good
news, which puts a smile on your face
all day long! Tonight: Enjoy visiting over
dinner.
Today is a 4
Do some price comparison before
buying a big item. You still might go
overboard, but at least youll know why
you chose what you did. This realization
might eliminate any guilt. Do not let any
negativity or insecurity impact your mood.
Tonight: Treating again?
Today is a 4
You whiz by others with a smile and lots
of energy. Sure enough, certain people will
want to know more. Expect inquiries, calls
and tentative invitations. (The people do-
ing the inviting probably want to join you
in your good mood.) Tonight: Only what
makes you smile.
Today is a 3
Take a step back from the here and
now, especially if you have been negative
or judgmental as of late. Try to walk in
someone elses shoes in order to under-
stand where this person is coming from.
You will be more open-minded as a result.
Tonight: No crowds, please.
Today is a 5
Go where your friends are and where life
at times seems silly yet meaningful. Your
group of pals is one of the most important
parts of your life. Do not get into anything
that could prevent you from your primary
agenda. Tonight: Let the party continue.
Today is a 3
Visit with an older friend or relative.
This person enjoys your company and
values your presence far more than
you might realize. If you want to make
other plans, do so, but only after you
make this trip. Good news occurs on the
homefront. Tonight: Visible and loving
the moment.
AUGUST 26
Today is a 3
A responsibility requires your atten-
tion, though it could be quite pleasant.
Whether you are visiting with an older
friend or relative, or bringing others
together for an event, people naturally
seem to interact with you. Follow your
instincts; they probably are right-on.
Tonight: Plan out tomorrow.
Today is a 5
Keep reaching out for someone who
can be faky at times. A partner also could
be feisty; let it go for now. You clearly
see life from a different perspective, and
therefore are able to respond to a key
person in your own way. Tonight: Consider
taking an escape weekend.
Today is a 4
Make a point to connect with someone
important in your life on a one-on-one
level. Try to have a discussion that you
have been putting off, yet be willing to
hear and internalize the other side. You
might think you know why someone acts
in a certain manner, but you cannot know
for sure. Tonight: With a favorite person.
Today is a 4
You could be questioning your options.
You might want to mix together different
friends and loved ones from various walks
of life. Remember, they all have a common
denominator you and therefore do
have something in common. Tonight: Host
a spontaneous get-together.
Today is a 3
Pace yourself, as you might have a
lot to do. A roommate or family member
clearly wants you to help or pitch in. You
have little choice if you would like to keep
the peace. Youll change plans and adapt
to someones schedule. Tonight: Put your
feet up.
Today is a 5
Tap into your imagination, and know
what you would like to happen. Keeping
that in mind, try to think of different
paths to your goals. Share some of these
ideas with a friend you often can bounce
ideas off of. Tonight: Brainstorm away.
Today is a 3
Stay close to home; most of todays
action takes place where you live. You
also might need some extra R and R.
Curb a tendency to spend money when
you become upset. It might work in the
here and now, but not in the long run.
Try to avoid internalizing your anger. To-
night: Make it as easy as possible.
Today is a 5
Dont stand on ceremony; make a call
to a forlorn friend. You will feel much bet-
ter as a result. Accepting this person as
he or she is is important for both of you.
Adjust plans to accommodate a special
invitation that comes up. Tonight: Catch
up on emails.
Today is a 3
Be aware of others boundaries, as well
as your own. Honor them if you want to stay
out of trouble. If you become angry about
a situation, look at what you could have
done to prevent this issue. Take responsi-
bility. Tonight: Treat a friend or loved one
to dinner.
Today is a 5
You will do whatever you need to gain
the support of one person or several
people. For some, a smile is enough. For
others, you might have to prove something
important. Be willing to adapt your plans,
especially if a special invitation appears.
Tonight: It is your call.
Today is a 3
Be willing to claim your space, and try
not to respond to a demanding person. You
usually are there for him or her. It might
not have occurred to this person that he
or she is as demanding as it appears. Be
willing to gently approach the topic. To-
night: Not to be found.
Today is a 5
Follow your friends, and you cant go
wrong. You might think you wont enjoy
what the activity is, but the camara-
derie will be worth it. Make time for a
call to someone you treasure but who is
not often available. Tonight: Pursue your
goals.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 2012 PAGE 9A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
the UNIVeRSItY DAILY KANSAN thURSDAY, AUGUSt 23, 2012 PAGe 10A
Te last time the mens basket-
ball team took the foor in com-
petition as a team, the players
watched as streamers fell from the
ceiling as Kentucky celebrated its
victory in the national champion-
ship game.
Losing the last game of the sea-
son is always tough. It can eat away
at a team in the long stretch from
the end of a regular season until
practices resume in October. But
because the NCAA allows a team
to play exhibition games outside
the United States once every four
summers, the Jayhawks were able
to cut their wait-time short as
they packed their bags and head-
ed to Europe for a four-game set
against the Swiss national team
and the AMW French Pro team.
Te trip was from Aug. 5 to 14.
Just playing, wearing the Kan-
sas jersey, senior forward Kevin
Young said when asked what he
was most looking forward to
about the European trip. Because
our last game together ended in a
loss, so I think a lot of us return-
ing guys just wanted to get out
there and play again.
Te Jayhawks team that trav-
eled overseas looks diferent than
the one seen all last year. Gone
is All-American Tomas Robin-
son. Gone is the unpredictable
but nonetheless electric Tyshawn
Taylor.
But the new crop of freshmen
got an early jump on meshing
with the team and learning coach
Bill Self s system.
We got 10 practices before
we lef, senior center Jef Withey
said. So its good for them to get
that early start, just because ev-
erything is new to them, and the
more time they have to work on
the ofense is going to help them.
Tose games over there, they can
see how the competition is a lot
diferent from high school.
Afer experiencing some travel
mishaps, the Jayhawks arrived in
Switzerland a day late. It was re-
ally frustrating just because we
were so excited to be going to
Europe, and then to lose a day of
time over there, it just sucked,
Withey said. But it happens. We
made fun of the freshmen, saying
to them it was their fault because
they were new. But you couldnt
do anything about it.
Te change in travel plans also
forced the team to switch around
some of their tourist activities and
shorten their pregame prepara-
tions. But the Jayhawks still man-
aged to win both of their games
against the Swiss national team.
When we were in Zurich, we
would go sightsee in the morning
and then have to go right from
sightseeing to go and play, With-
ey said. Sometimes wed be late,
so wed only have 10, 15 minutes
to get ready. When were actually
playing real games over here, we
start preparing two hours in ad-
vance: were at the gym, getting
shots up and stuf. When we were
over there, we were thrown into
the fre.
In Paris, the team saw the sights
that draw tourists from around
the world to the city.
We were only on the second
level of the Eifel Tower, and we
were already over most of the
buildings, and theres an elevator
that takes you even higher, so it
was kind of crazy, Young said.
Te Jayhawks lost both games
against AMW, but in the second
game and the fnal of the trip,
Kansas had the lead at halfime
despite the fact that Self sat se-
niors Withey, Elijah Johnson
and Travis Releford, and gave the
freshmen extended playing time.
(Te freshmen) are not used
to a 40-minute game yet, Withey
said. In the college game, youre
always playing hard, you cant take
plays of, so by the fourth quarter
I feel like they got really tired, and
thats when the other team made
their run.
Te freshmen werent the only
ones who received more minutes.
Sophomore guard Naadir Tarpe
showed how much he improved
from his freshman season, dish-
ing nine assists in the Jayhawks
frst game against AMW. Despite
Tarpes efort, Kansas lost 74-73.
I think he is just a lot more
confdent, Withey said. His ball
handling is just a lot better than
last year, and just having a year
underneath your belt, you get a
lot better automatically.

Coming off an unfortunate
overtime loss against North-
western, the womens soccer
team prepares to host the Kan-
sas Invitational this weekend.
They refuse to let the loss stop
them as they want to push for-
ward and gain two more wins.
I think everyone was disap-
pointed after the game Sunday
because I think we did enough
to win, but our mentality is fine.
Were working hard, were trying
to regroup and win, head coach
Mark Francis said.
Kansas had no problem cre-
ating opportunities against
Northwestern but was only able
to capitalize on one opportu-
nity through freshman forward
Ashley Williams early second-
half goal. Their defensive unit
something the team has been

focusing on improving
will
be tested this weekend, as senior
defender Cassie Dickerson will
not be returning to the field be-
cause of an injury. Though her
absence will be noticed, Kansas
does not plan to let it hinder
their progress.
Mentally, we view this as
any other game, senior forward
Whitney Berry said. We plan to
win and keep it on the field. We
just have to play our game.
The team faces a very physical
Georgia Bulldogs squad Friday
night at the Jayhawk Complex.
The Bulldogs managed to knock
Kansas out of the first round
of the NCAA tournament last
year with a 2-0 victory. Kansas
will see a similar team take the
field as Georgia returns 23 play-
ers, including nine starters and
four seniors. The team will be
watching out for junior mid-
fielder Alexa Newfield, who is
returning after she led her team
in both assists and goals last
season. Georgia has started off
undefeated in the season with a
record of 2-0.
Obviously Georgia is a good
team. They ended our season
last year, so I think for us its a
great opportunity to play them
again and give them another
run. I think theyll give us a
good test, Francis said.
Kansas also brings weap-
ons of their own to the pitch,
despite having to do some re-
shuffling on the defensive line.
Senior forward Whitney Berry
made sure onlookers noticed
her, scoring a hat trick in the
exhibition game against East-
ern Illinois. Junior forward Car-
oline Kastor and Williams have
also made impressive starts to
the season.
We know we can handle
[Georgia]. We know how they
play, and we just gotta execute
our game plan, junior defender
Shannon Renner said.
Kansas will also face the
Rebels from UNLV in the Invi-
tational on Sunday. The Rebels
also recently played in a close
match, almost coming back af-
ter trailing three goals but ulti-
mately falling short to Hawaii,
5-4. The Rebels have a more
inexperienced team than Kan-
sas, only returning two seniors
compared to Kansas seven. The
Rebels share Kansas 1-1 start to
the season, but Kansas hopes to
use home field advantage, ex-
perience and chemistry of their
returners to lead them to a vic-
tory.
We want to defend our home
turf and get two wins, Renner
said.
Kansas will take on Georgia
Friday, Aug. 24 at 5 p.m. before
facing UNLV on Sunday at 1
p.m.
Y
our first week of syl-
labi and lectures are
almost over, freshmen,
but theres still more to learn. The
University of Kansas has some of
the best traditions in the country,
but theres always room for im-
provement. Reaching the upper-
classmen is useless at this point,
so its up to you, class of 2016.
Here are a few tips to make your
first year on campus better for ev-
eryone:
-Its not Home of the Chiefs.
Many of you will hear this for the
first time in a few weeks in Me-
morial Stadium, a version of The
Star-Spangled Banner praising a
pro football team in a different
state. Like the wave at a baseball
game, the Home of the Chiefs
chant is passed down annually
without question, purpose or in-
telligence. Before joining your
drunken cohorts before football
and basketball games this year,
ask yourself a simple question:
Why are they cheering a pro foot-
ball team in Missouri while at a
college game in Kansas? If you
come up with something other
than everyone else is doing it,
then by all means, continue. But
when you dont, and the urge is
still strong to belt out the other
version, just remember: You nev-
er had to watch a down of Turner
Gill football. The least you can do
in return is to slowly phase out
this chant.
-There is no Woooo in
the Rock Chalk Chant. Teddy
Roosevelt once called it the
greatest college chant he had
ever heard. When done right, its
nothing short of haunting. Then,
sometime in the past, fans started
wooing between verses of the song
like a bunch of 12-year-old girls at
a Justin Bieber concert. Dont act
like a bunch of 12-year-old girls
at a Justin Bieber concert.
-Dont leave at halftime of
football games. They have these
things now called refrigerators
that keep beverages cold, so you
can actually attend an entire foot-
ball game and come back to a cold
drink. Theres no excuse for fol-
lowing the herd of students out
of the stands and back to the tail-
gate at halftime. Unless the team
is down 24 points or something;
then all bets are off.
-Wear blue shirts to basketball
games, not red. Everyone owns
one or twelve blue Kansas shirts,
but theres always a handful of
people who cant conform and
throw on something blue. Con-
formity can be fun.
-Dont be afraid to call it red
and not crimson. Oklahoma is
crimson. Kansas is red. You might
get dirty looks from University
employees or rabid fans, but show
them a color wheel and youll win
every time.
-Kansas State is not suddenly
your biggest rival. Kansas never
fought Kansas State in a war. Un-
til then, your biggest rival is still
Missouri. A fierce rivalry is tough
to maintain without playing one
another, but the United States
and the Soviet Union did it for
decades. How hard can it be?

thuRSDAY, AuguSt 23, 2012
the UNIVeRSItY DAILY KANSAN thURSDAY, AUGUSt 23, 2012 PAGe 2B
Coming off of last years 2-10
record, the football team is look-
ing to improve in many areas this
season. Defensive coordinator
Dave Campo has emphasized the
importance of takeaways to his
players in practice everyday.
Kansas came away with only
18 turnovers all last season, eight
of them coming off interceptions.
This led to a minus five turnover
margin in the conference last year,
finishing seventh in the Big 12.
Sophomore linebacker Ben
Heeney and the linebacking corps
went into summer camp looking
to improve in takeaways to be bet-
ter prepared for the season. The
linebackers did not come up with
any turnovers during practices in
the spring. The group made head-
way in the summer by coming up
with 10 turnovers in practice.
Turnovers is where the games
are won, basically, Heeney said.
If you dont have any turnovers,
its hard to flip the field. That is
something weve really stressed
this summer during camp. Going
from zero in the spring and 10
in the summer is a big improve-
ment.
The Jayhawks can rely on senior
defensive end and captain Toben
Opurum to provide a strong pass
rush to help the defensive backs
come up with some interceptions.
Senior safety Bradley
McDougald, who co-lead the
team with two interceptions, said
the biggest difference from this
year to last year is the focus on the
small details, one of them being
takeaways.
McDougald and his team-
mates are being kept busy by their
coaches working on turnovers
before the season opener.
With a new defensive coordi-
nator, he comes in with the mind-
set of getting turnovers because
thats ultimately what wins games,
McDougald said. Coach Campo
and coach Bowen have done a
great job of implementing turn-
overs, getting interceptions, get-
ting the ball on the ground, pick-
ing it up and getting it to the end
zone.
With Campos NFL experience,
the Jayhawks look to flourish in
takeaways. Campo knows that
in a conference like the Big 12,
turnovers are very valuable and
can help Kansas finish better than
where they are expected to in the
conference this season.
If you can break serve a few
times, thats one of the ways to do
it and give your offense an extra
opportunity and take one away
from them, Campo said. Thats
a big advantage. Weve been work-
ing hard at it. That is something
we have been working on every-
day.
The Jayhawks offense has a new
look going into the season opener
and the defense knows that their
teammates on the other side of
the ball can score a lot of points if
they own possession. By winning
the time of possession, Campo has
stressed out to his team that they
must capitalize on coming away
with the football.
That is something thats
extremely important, Campo said.
Its probably the most important
stat, as far as winning and losing.
The team that wins the turnover
battle has a pretty good chance of
winning the game.

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

Q: When Moss signed with the 49ers,
he will become the third receiver in
NFL history to play at least one season
as a 49er and have 150 career receiv-
ing TDs. Name the other two?

tRIVIA of thE DAY
He is famous for his work ethic.

Adding him to our football team and
letting our guys see what he is like
will help everybody this season.

Carol-espn.com
Randy Moss played his college
football at Marshall University in West
Virginia.

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

NFL veterans look to elevate new teams
BASeBALL
Royals lose both the game
and the series to Tampa Bay
ASSocIAtED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
James Shields took a three-hitter
into the eighth inning, leading
Tampa Bay over the Kansas City
Royals 5-3 Wednesday for the
Rays 16th win in 21 games.
Shields (12-7) retired 12 in
a row after Alcides Escobars
two-out single in the third and
allowed three runs and five hits in
7 2-3 innings. The right-hander
struck out seven and walked one,
improving to 4-0 with a 2.15 ERA
in his last five starts.
Escobar ended Shields day
with a two-out RBI triple in the
eighth that pulled Kansas City to
4-2. Jake McGee allowed a run-
scoring single to Alex Gordon,
and Kyle Farnsworth retired Billy
Butler on a grounder.
Jose Labaton homered off
Aaron Crow leading off the bot-
tom half, and Fernando Rodney
pitched the ninth for his 39th save
in 41 chances.
Tampa Bay won two of three
in the series, limiting the Royals
to just five runs. Tampa Bay leads
the AL with a 3.27 ERA.
Kansas City manager Ned Yost
was ejected in the eighth by plate
umpire Scott Barry for arguing
after Eric Hosmer took a called
third strike.
Luis Mendoza (7-9) gave up
two runs, five hits and four walks
in 4 1-3 innings.
Jeff Francoeurs RBI single put
Kansas City ahead in the second,
but the Rays took a 2-1 lead in the
third on Ben Zobrists sacrifice fly
and Jeff Keppingers RBI single.
Ryan Roberts doubled in a run
in the sixth, and the Rays made it
4-1 in the seventh on an error at
second by Escobar, who couldnt
handle Francoeurs throw from
right on Zobrists double.

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

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars
know things we dont.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You have a lot of panache, and you
do not hesitate to display your pas-
sion and core feelings. By midday,
you might decide to focus on a proj-
ect, even if you are by yourself. Your
creativity emerges no matter what you
do. Tonight: Return calls and emails.
tAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You easily get sidetracked, no mat-
ter what you are doing. Honor your
priorities despite others inadvertently
breaking into your plans, in need of
your help. You juggle this burden with
sensitivity to others. A child or loved
one steals the scene. Tonight: Be re-
sponsive to a friend or family mem-
ber.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Focus on completion and getting
the job done. You could be overtired
or withdrawn. When you become in-
spired, you feel like anything is pos-
sible; however, it will be your tremen-
dous effort that makes a difference. It
is you who makes a situation change.
Tonight: Relax.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Understanding comes from getting
past a self-imposed restraint. Also, be
willing to verbalize your goals and de-
sires. An associate lets you know that
he or she has had a change of mind
about a detail, but not the whole idea.
Tonight: Express your naughty side.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
You could be far more possessive than
you think you are. Try to be more self-
aware, and listen to a partners feed-
back. You might want to break a bad
habit, especially if it encumbers your
interpersonal communication. To-
night: Curb a desire to go on a spend-
ing spree, if possible.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have a strong reaction, which is
unlike your normally logical stance.
You let others know if they cross you.
Someone close to you might not be
sure of what is going on, and could
test this newfound assertiveness.
Conrm meetings and any informa-
tion that does not sound correct. To-
night: The world is your oyster.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You denitely know what you want,
but getting someone to respond as
youd like could be a different story.
Once more, you are reminded that you
can control only yourself. Remain dip-
lomatic yet clear. This person needs
to know where you are coming from.
Tonight: Go shopping for that special
item.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You seem to be in your element; how-
ever, someone else might not be on the
same mental plane as you. You cannot
seem to get your point across. It is as
if this persons mind is impenetrable.
Demonstrate compassion, but dont
put all your eggs in one basket. To-
night: Choose a high-energy activity.
SAGIttARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Understand that you are in a reec-
tive stage right now that will not last
much longer. Gather all the informa-
tion you need in order to make a solid
decision about a project. You do not
always need to be ery when express-
ing your feelings. Subtlety works, too.
Tonight: Do not swallow your anger.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Aim for more of what you want, and
focus on the more social aspects of
your life. Be willing to verbalize more
of what you desire, and you will mani-
fest just that even more easily. Others
work with you. Tonight: A friend could
be too assertive.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
When you take charge, others step
back. You could have some difculty
sorting through a knot of confusion.
You might need to go past that point
to achieve the results you desire. You
are ery and direct in your word choice.
Tonight: A must appearance.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your ability to incorporate many dif-
ferent perspectives to resolve a prob-
lem comes forward right now. Listen
to your sixth sense about a misunder-
standing. There might not be a way
to sort it out immediately. Consider
letting it go. Tonight: How about some
blues?

action sequels a shot
in the arm for box ofce
ASSOCIAtED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Sylvester
Stallone and his beefy buddies have
muscled their way to the top of the
weekend box o ce.
Stallones action ick Te Ex-
pendables 2 debuted at No. 1 with
$28.8 million, according to studio
estimates Sunday. Tats down from
the $34.8 million start for Te Ex-
pendables two years ago.
Te Lionsgate sequel elbowed
out another action tale as Univer-
sals Te Bourne Legacy fell to
No. 2 in its second weekend with
$17 million. Tat was a steep 55
percent drop from its $38.1 mil-
lion opening weekend, though the
movies domestic total climbed to a
solid $69.6 million.
Other wide releases opened to
modest business, such as Focus
Features animated comedy Para-
Norman, about a boy leading the
ght against zombies, was No. 3
with $14 million.
Sonys music remake Sparkle,
featuring American Idol win-
ner Jordin Sparks and Whitney
Houston, was No. 5 with $12 mil-
lion. Te update of the 1976 movie
centers on three sisters who forma
singing group in the late 1960s.
Te newcomers and holdovers
combined to lif Hollywoods over-
all business. Domestic revenues
totaled $139 million, up 12 percent
from the same weekend last year,
when Te Help led with $20 mil-
lion, according to box-o ce tracker
Hollywood.com.
Business had been down the
previous three weekends this sum-
mer, which has fallen short of the
record-setting business many stu-
dio executives were predicting at
the start of the season.
Since the rst weekend of May,
revenues total $3.9 billion, down 5
percent from last summers, when
Hollywood nished with an all-
time high of $4.4 billion for the sea-
son, according to Hollywood.com.
Tis summer delivered huge hits
such as Te Avengers with $617.6
million domestically and Te Dark
Knight Rises, which took in $11.1
million this weekend to cross the
$400 million mark and edge past
Te Hunger Games to become
the years second-biggest hit.
But other releases such as Dark
Shadows, Battleship, Te
Watch and Total Recall were
duds that failed to live up to the
summers hype.
With only two weekends lef
in the season and no obvious hits
premiering, its unlikely that Hol-
lywood will break last summers
record.
Were winding down the sum-
mer and were in the dog days of
August. Teyre called that for a
reason, because were experienc-
ing the typical summer slowdown,
only it seems worse this year, said
Hollywood.com analyst Paul Der-
garabedian.
Te Expendables 2 also pulled
in $17.3 million overseas.
While the sequel drew smaller
crowds than the rst movie, dis-
tributor Lionsgate noted that busi-
ness held up better for the new one
in its second day. Revenues dipped
only 3 percent from Friday to Sat-
urday compared to 11 percent for
Te Expendables, according to
Lionsgate.
Tats a sign that more rst-night
fans may be talking up the sequel,
which also earned better reviews
than the original.
We believe with solid word of
mouth and even critical response
to the lm, that bodes well for the
playability, said David Spitz, Li-
onsgates head of distribution. Its
the old, its not a sprint, its a mara-
thon.

Jamie Bermel, the newly hired
mens golf coach, knows what it
takes to be a champion at the
NCAA level.
In his previous stops at Drake,
Iowa State and Colorado State,
he won two Mountain West
Conference titles, one Missouri
Valley Conference title and quali-
fied for 15 NCAA tournaments,
including two trips to the NCAA
finals.
Bermels Colorado State teams
won 18 tournaments and finished
in the top five more than 35 times.
He coached Masters winner Zach
Johnson while at Drake and PGA
Tour pro Martin Laird while at
Fort Collins.
Bermel is looking to change the
golf culture in his first season in
Lawrence. By focusing on tough-
ness, the Jayhawks new staff is
attempting to make adjustments
with the current players and future
recruits.
A focus on toughness paired
Bermel with Johnson at Drake in
1994.
At the time, Johnson was second
on most of the areas recruiting
lists.
We were the only Division 1
school to recruit him, Bermel said.
He came to Drake and imme-
diately showed he was an over-
achiever, a huge competitor, but a
little undersized.
Bermel said Johnson was an
average prospect coming out of
high school, but his toughness
and overachieving nature led to
his development and eventually his
professional career. This is the kind
of toughness that Bermel wants to
instill in his new team.
When you walk down the range,
you think, All right, all these guys
look about the same, Bermel said.
As a coach, you have to ask, Who
has that extra heart beat? Who can
excel under the most extreme con-
ditions? Because I take kids that
probably dont have the best swing
or best record. To me its about who
has the most upside.
One of the toughest tasks for any
incoming collegiate head coach is
to get the returning players to buy
into a new system. With two weeks
under their belt, the team is start-
ing to work through the process.
I think these kids need to feel
like somebody believes in them,
Bermel said. Ive told them from
day one, Im all in. I believe in all
of you guys. You didnt pick me,
and I didnt pick you, but we have
to get better here. In everything
Ive asked of them so far theyve
been great.
At this point, the focus is shift-
ing from forming a strong coach-
ing relationship to getting better in
every aspect on and off the course.
The program as a whole should
receive a boost in recruiting as
Bermel takes over. When looking
for recruits, the staff s focus lies in
three major points. Good recruits
hit the ball hard, are mentally
tough and show great upside.
I cant teach speed in a golf
swing. Bermel said. You get what
you get, but if you can hit it hard,
I can teach you to chip, putt and
manage the game. We want guys
that are tough as nails. You cant
come in here soft, thinking you
have all the answers and thinking
that it isnt hard work.
The staff s recruiting plan
emphasizes in-state recruiting as
well as international recruiting,
where Bermel has found some suc-
cess in the past.
Bermel and assistant coach Zach
Zaremba have one goal in mind for
their programs progression.
We want to win a champion-
ship, Bermel said. Were going
to start with the Big 12. We need
everybody, and at the end of the
day every practice we have to get
better.

In 2012 baylor welcomes
three four-star recruits, all
from texas: wide receiver
Corey Coleman, defensive
end Javonte Magee and line-
backer brian Nance. Magee
comes in as the number sev-
en defensive end in the na-
tion, with a chance to make
an impact on the bears
defense early in the year,
according to Rivals.com.
baylor did the majority of its
recruiting in-state with only
two of 28 freshman coming
from outside of texas.
OVERVIEw:
the bears are riding high
on last seasons success and
exposure. Sighting baylors
comeback against Kansas
as the launching point for
his campaign, quarterback
Robert Griffn III won the
2012 Heisman trophy and
was selected second overall
in the Nfl draft. but Griffn
wasnt the only bear to move
on to the next level. baylor
had fve players from 2011
taken in draft, and the team
will look to rebuild without
slowing down the progress
made last season.
StORY tO wAtch:
With the losses of their
starting quarterback, run-
ning back and number one
receiver, the bears will have
many spots to fll on offense.
Senior quarterback Nick
florence only made 12 pass
attempts last season, and
running back Jarred Salubi
averaged just 5.7 yards on
his 58 attempts. How will
head coach art briles con-
tinue the success of the
high-powered offense
which ranked fourth in the
nation both in passing yards
and points scored with-
out the men that got him
there? and how smoothly
will the transition be?
thEY SAID It:
How do you adjust not
having the best player of
football in the United States
of america last year at the
collegiate level? thats
inspiration, okay? thats
the thing that inspires us.
thats the thing that makes
our guys come together and
fght for each other and work

cause were in the proving

Milone ends streak
with a one-run gem
ASSOcIAtED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. Liam
Hendriks was lef to wait for his
frst major victory yet again.
He had had 13 tries spanning
two seasons as a starter.
A day afer being recalled
from Triple-A Rochester, for his
third big league stint of the year
with Minnesota, the 23-year-old
Aussie struggled along with the
Twins ofense in a 5-1 loss to the
Oakland Athletics on Wednes-
day.
It was another stumble on this
tough road trip.
It was just a bad day for us,
manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Its too bad we lost the series.
Coco Crisp homered, hit an
RBI double, and scored three
runs for the As, tinkering a bit
with his batting stance.
I felt like Cal Ripken over
there with so many batting
stances, Crisp said.
Yoenis Cespedes hit a go-
ahead two-run single in the third
inning that held up for Tommy
Milone, and Crisp also singled
and stole his 28th base to give the
As a much-needed boost only
a couple of hours afer right-
hander Bartolo Colon received
a 50-game suspension for a posi-
tive testosterone test. Te ban
came one day before he had been
scheduled to start the opener of a
series at Tampa Bay.
Milone (10-9) allowed one
run and two hits, struck out fve
and walked one in eight impres-
sive innings to end a fve-start
winless stretch in which he had
gone 0-3 since his last victory,
a 9-3 decision at Minnesota on
July 14. He lowered his ERA
to 3.87 from 4.03 and became
Oaklands second 10-game win-
ner afer Colon, the 2005 AL Cy
Young Award winner while with
the Angels.
Te As won despite four er-
rors behind Milone.
Typically, you dont win
games making four errors,
manager Bob Melvin said. Te
reason we did come back is Mi-
lone.
Josh Reddick added an RBI
single for the As (67-56), who
moved a season-high 11 games
over .500 their best since
fnishing the 2006 season at 93-
69. Tats the last year Oakland
reached the playofs, getting
swept in four games of the AL
championship series by the De-
troit Tigers.
Oakland began the day a half-
game out in the AL wild-card
race.
When Coco plays well, we
win, Melvin said.
