WORTH THE PAIN
SURVIVAL STORY
Alumnus writes about deadly battle with meningitis
It was the end of April, 2004 when
Andy Marso frst felt sick.
Marso decided to rest, thinking
he would feel better afer sleeping.
However, Marso could not get out
of bed when he woke up the next
morning.
As it turned out, Marso was infect-
ed with bacterial meningitis, and
said that it got into his bloodstream
and released toxins that slice and
dice the blood vessels. It impairs
circulation, and prevents the in-
ternal organs and extremities from
getting the blood they need.
Now, nine years afer surviving
the rare form of bacterial menin-
gitis, Marso, a University graduate,
is working to provide others with
hope for overcoming difculties
through his book Worth the Pain.
I have a responsibility to make
the most of my life so that these
people see that their life can still be
good too, Marso said.
One way he hopes to do this is
through his book, which became
available on Amazon just a few
weeks ago. He said in addition to
educating others about meningitis
and the traumatic efects it can
have, he wanted to tell a good story,
and said theres a lot of pain in the
book, but theres also a lot of hope.
Before becoming infected with
the disease senior year, Marso said
he was enjoying his normal, busy
life as a Jayhawk. By senior year,
he was surrounded with great
friends, spent his free time playing
intramural sports, wrote for the
Kansan, was on his way to fnishing
his degree in journalism, and lived
in Pearson Scholarship Hall.
One of his friends, Clay Britton,
noticed that Marso had missed class
one morning. He lived in Pearson
with Marso and when he got home,
he went upstairs to Marsos room
and opened the door to check on
him and ask if he was okay.
Britton said Marso told him he
had chills but was also sweaty, and
had purple spots covering his arms,

THANKSGIVING DESSERTS PAGE 6A
As college students plan to go
home and celebrate Tanksgiving
Break with family and friends,
many international and out-of-
state students cannot do the same.
When the dorms become empty,
classes arent in session and silence
falls over the town, these students
stay put and spend their break in
Lawrence. It may not sound like
the most ideal situation but many
of these students are faced with
high-priced airfare and too short
of a time span to spend traveling.
For Alyssa Ong, a senior from
Malaysia, it takes 48 hours to fy
home. She is not familiar with the
American holiday, so for her it is
just like any other break. She will
spend the long weekend studying
and relaxing and has made plans
to get lunch with her international
friends on Tursday.
It will not be anything tradition-
al and I can assure you there wont
be any turkey, Ong said. Resi-
dence halls will be closed over the
break forcing students who cannot
go home to look for another place
to stay. McCollum Residence Hall
on Daisy Hill will be the only dorm
that will stay open. Te hall will
charge $85 for the fve-night break.
I know many international stu-
dents stress out about where they
are going to live because $85 may
not be a lot of money in America
but it is a lot of money in our coun-
try, says Ong.
For many students, staying with
family or friends during this oasis
in the fall semester provides an-
other option.
Katie Perryman, a senior from
Hawaii, recalls it being very dif-
cult her freshman year when she
realized she was not going to be
able to go home. She is grateful she
had family close by to spend her
holiday with, which also allowed
her to learn some new Tanksgiv-
ing traditions.
My freshman year my aunt
made like 40 pounds of turkey,
Perryman said, And until a few
years ago I never knew people had
turkey and stufng for Tanksgiv-
ing because we always eat Hawai-
ian food.
Some are returning home, some
are staying on campus and oth-
ers are spending the holiday at a
friend or roommates house. No
matter your plans or nationality,
we should be thankful for those
around us and make sure to make
the best of our long weekend.

Students spend Thanksgiving in Lawrence
In a show of support for the les-
bian, gay, bisexual and transgender
community, the U.S. Senate passed
the Employment Non-Discrimina-
tion Act, a bill that states employers
cant discriminate based on sexual
orientation or gender identity. Tis
bill, if passed by the house, would
mean a victory for those in the
LGBTQ community in their fght
toward equality.
When LGBTQ students leave
here they [would] no longer have
that fear of moving to a state that
will not support them in their em-
ployment based or gender expres-
sion, gender identity or sexual ori-
entation, LGBTQ Resource Center
Coordinator Michael Detmer said.
Its one less thing to worry about
as a gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans-
gender student when trying to fnd
a job because they know they will
be protected in every state.
Without the fear of being fred
based on self-expression, Detmer
feels that the workplace will be
more productive and efcient.
Tese laws impact the entire
population because we are seeing
federal support towards this group
of people, which helps break down
some of the barriers, Detmer said.
It will help us be more aware of in-
equality and we can take a stand for
human rights and social justice and
equality for people.
Tere are many groups on cam-
pus that work to make sure that
students dont have to face discrim-
ination, such as Queers and Allies.
Te LGBTQ Resource Center also
works to raise awareness and edu-
cation on campus so that students
feel safe.
Te biggest thing is having the
discussion and talking about it
and making it real and bringing a
humanistic viewpoint to the dis-
cussion so people will realize that
the bisexual sitting next to them
in class or the trans faculty person
teaching their classroom is a hu-
man being, Detmer said. Tere
might be diferences in terms of
how they express themselves or
who they have sex with, but that
doesnt impact how they do their
job or how they contribute to this
world.
Student Senate is also working
toward a more equal campus. Tey
recently passed a resolution that
would give the same benefts that
heterosexual couples have to same-
sex couples.
Its important to students because
if we cant attract openly gay facul-
ty, then gay students, open or not,
wont see themselves represented,
student body vice president Emma
Halling said. We want a diverse
perspective in the classroom be-
cause its an important part of the
liberal arts education.
With the work being done to
make a more inclusive environ-
ment for the LGBTQ community,
Detmer hopes that will mean a
move toward equality in other as-
pects of life.
Vice president for Delta Lambda
Phi, the progressive mens frater-
nity on campus, Tim Hewitt also
hopes that this will lead to more
equality.
Being able to have a stable job
and keep it, and being secure in
your life, thats pretty much all we
are asking, Hewitt said.

PERSON ON THE STREET
How do you feel about potential employers
seeing your social media?
Although your party photos
might not have prevented you
from being admitted into the
University of Kansas, they might
prevent you from landing your
dream job once you graduate.
Several universities across the
country are beginning to factor
social media into their admis-
sions process according to a 2013
Kaplan Test Prep survey of college
admission ofcers, and though
the University isnt one of those
schools, people are considering
your social media as a part of your
image.
Te University has very
straightforward admissions
requirements, said Director of
Admissions Lisa Pinamonti Kress.
Kress said that social media
does not afect undergraduate
admissions requirements for the
University, which are set by the
Kansas Board of Regents.
However, employers are looking.
Erin Wolfram, Assistant Director
of the University Career Center,
said students should know that
employers are Googling them. She
said its not enough to set your
privacy settings high and assume
employers wont fnd you, but just
because they are looking doesnt
mean they are looking for some-
thing negative.
Social media allows a student
to brand themselves, Wolfram
said, and positive social media
activity can make you stand out to
employers.
Wolfram recommends students
take the following fve steps
to clean up their social media
accounts and ensure their online
presence is positive.
1. Delete social media accounts
that you arent using anymore.
Tat old MySpace profle? Deac-
tivate it!
2. Clean up any active social me-
dia by removing unprofessional or
inappropriate photos, videos and
posts. Dont forget: Tis includes

and could not get up. Britton
asked him if he was able to come
downstairs and get something to
eat or drink.
I was thinking that sometimes
when youre not feeling well you
just have to get up and get mov-
ing, Britton said.
Britton decided to call Watkins
Memorial Health Center and
described Marsos symptoms, and
he was advised to bring Marso in.
Britton, along with the help of one
of his friends, got Marso dressed
and out of bed, and helped him
downstairs to Brittons car.
When they got to Watkins, Brit-
ton again asked if Marso was able
to walk by himself.
I thought maybe hed be feeling
a little better since he got some
fresh air, Britton said. But he
said, No. I dont think I can.
Te staf at Watkins quickly
identifed how sick Marso was.
In a matter of a few hours, Marso
was taken from Watkins in an
ambulance to Lawrence Memorial
Hospital, then fown to KU Med-
ical Center in Kansas City, and by
the end of the night his condition
was critical.
Marso said that for the frst few
weeks in the
hospital, the
doctors worked
to stabilize his
internal organs
as he was ba-
sically drugged
into oblivion.
It was basi-
cally 50-50 as
to whether I
would survive,
Marso said.
Because his limbs were without
blood for so long, all the fesh on
his fngers and toes was dying. He
had a choice: amputate his limbs
or try to save them by slicing and
scraping of all the dead tissue.
So every other day for the next
three months, he had treatments
through the KU Medical Center
burn clinic to try to get rid of the
dead tissue. During his time in
the hospital, he had eight total
surgeries for skin grafing and
amputations. His fngers and toes
were not able to be saved, and had
to be amputated.
Marso was in the hospital
until September of 2004, and was
completely helpless when hos-
pitalized. He had a strong support
system from his family, and said
his parents, grandma, and two
brothers moved to Kansas City
while he was hospitalized. His
friends also visited him ofen, in-
cluding friends from Minnesota,
where he grew up.
In the beginning, the visits were
all about [hoping that] maybe
Andy would wake up for a few
minutes and see that you were
there, rooting for him, Britton
said. Afer he was getting a little
bit better, you could talk to
Andy and he would sort of
whisper a sentence here and
there. It took quite a while
for him to have the energy to
engage in a regular conversation
again.
While Marso was in the hospital,
complete strangers came to visit
him and talk. He said a man who
had bacterial meningitis when he
was 17 and lost his feet came and
talked with Andy right before he
had his toes amputated; seeing
that the man had made it through
gave Marso hope.
Other visitors like these, who
could relate to Marso and let
him know that its possible to get
through it, motivated Marso to do
the same once he recovered.
Tere were so many days when
I thought, I cant take it. Im not
going to make it, Marso said. I
want to give people hope for the
days they think are unbearable.
Afer leaving the hospital, Marso
spent the next year in rehabilita-
tion, physical therapy and occu-
pational therapy, learning to walk
with leg braces and use his hands
to do everything that he had used
to be able to do without thinking.
I had to rethink everything,
Marso said. For the frst year of
rehabilitation, life became like a
constant physics lesson.
He said the
frst couple
of years were
difcult and
frustrating be-
cause he could
still remember
how easy things
used to be, but
by now hes for-
gotten what it
was like before;
this is the new normal.
Currently, approved bacterial
meningitis vaccines in the United
States protect against four out of
the fve main types, and Marso
was infected with the type that
is not protected by vaccines. He
hopes that since every college
student in the United States is
susceptible to becoming infect-
ed, they will raise their voices
and make themselves heard by
pushing for approval of a vaccine
that will protect against the other
main type.
Today, Marso works for the
Topeka Capital-Journal reporting
on state government news. He
doesnt let the changes in his body
caused by the meningitis hold him
back, and he does not dwell on it,
said Britton.
In some ways, afer a while I
didnt really see any changes,
Britton said. Hes the same Andy;
hes goofy, hes witty, he knows the
words to almost every song on the
radio. Tose things were still there
and came back. Hes learned to be
every bit the same person he was
before.

PROFILE PROBLEMS
Social media activity affects employment, admissions
ILLUSTRATION BY COLE ANNEBERG/KANSAN
Employers and universities use social media to prole applicants, according to a 2013 Kaplan Test Prep survey.

It kind of makes me uncomfortable

because I feel like thats a private
part of us, but at the same time if an
employer wants to see how you are
normally I wouldnt be offended if they
decided to look at my Facebook. If you
really care about it you can make your
stuff private, right?
ELLIOT YOCHIM

I see social media as marketing

yourself so you should never put
anything with red cups. Like I
never have solo cups, drinking. I
never cuss in my tweets because
honestly youre marketing yourself
on social media. Once youre
in college employers are going
to look at you once you start
applying. And internships too
they look at that. I know they look
at that.

not only what you post, but also
what your friends or followers post
on your social media accounts.
3. Update your settings so that
you can approve tags before they
are attached to your account and
make sure your privacy settings
are as high as possible.
4. Google yourself about once a
month. Google your name, your
phone number and your email to
ensure that you know what other
people are posting about you.
Pro tip: sign up for Google alerts
that way you get an email each
time your name, email address or
phone number are mentioned.
5. Post positive messages related
to your desired career feld. Share
articles, photos and interesting
facts that show employers you are
passionate about what you want
to do. Pro tip: Start a blog to share
things related to your career feld.
I would like to assume most
students would rather get the job,
than post an inappropriately funny
photo, Wolfram said.
Te University Career Center
gives presentations on social
media to student groups upon
requests. Individual students
can learn more by setting up an
appointment with a career coach

WEATHER
Storms lead to holiday ight cancellations
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A large storm already blamed for
at least eight deaths in the West
slogged through Oklahoma, Tex-
as, New Mexico and other parts of
the Southwest on Sunday, leading
to hundreds of fight cancellations
as it slowly churned east ahead of
Tanksgiving.
Afer the storm plows through
the Southwest, meteorologists
expect the Arctic mass to head
south and east, threatening plans
for Tuesday and Wednesday as
people hit the roads and airports
for some of the busiest travel days
of the year.
More than 300 fights were
cancelled at Dallas-Fort Worth In-
ternational Airport, representing
about one-third of the scheduled
departures, and a spokeswoman
said deicing equipment had been
prepared as ofcials planned for
the worst in a furry of conference
calls and meetings.
"It's certainly going to be a
travel impact as we see the frst
few people making their way for
Tanksgiving," National Weather
Service meteorologist Tom Brad-
shaw said.
Te National Weather Service
has issued a winter storm warning
for chunks of North Texas from
noon Sunday until midday Mon-
day. Parts of Oklahoma are also
under a winter storm warning,
while an advisory has been issued
for other parts of the state. A mix
of rain and sleet began falling
north of Dallas on Interstate 35
by midday Sunday, and areas of
southwestern Oklahoma woke up
to several inches of snow.
Some elevated overpasses had
icy surfaces, but Bradshaw said
the worst weather could be
expected between 3 a.m. and 9
a.m., possibly snarling morning
rush hour.
Several inches of snow fell over-
night in Altus in far southwestern
Oklahoma, said Damaris Macha-
bo, a receptionist at a Holiday Inn
motel.
"It looks great. I love the snow,"
Machabo said. Te snow and
freezing temperatures made driv-
ing in the area treacherous, but
Machabo said she had no prob-
lems getting to work early Sunday.
Forecasts called for more snow in
the area later in the day.
Portions of New Mexico
especially in some of the higher
elevations also had several
inches of snow, and near white out
conditions were reported along
stretches of Interstate 40 west of
Albuquerque.
Ten along the New Mexi-
co-Texas border, into the El Paso
area, a mix of snow, sleet and ice
forced some road closures and
created messy driving conditions.
Flagstaf in Arizona had 11
inches of snow by early Sunday,
and was expected to get another
inch by the end of the day before
the storm petered out. Metro
Phoenix and other parts of central
Arizona received between 1 to 2
inches of rain over the course of
the storm. Te storms caused can-
cellations of sporting events and
parades and damaged the roofs of
homes across Arizona.
In Tucson, frefghters on Friday
recovered the body of a man who
was swept away by high water
in the Santa Cruz River. Tucson
police said Sunday an autopsy
revealed signs of trauma, and
they were investigating the death
as a homicide. Tey did not say
whether they had ruled out the
storm as a cause of his death.
By early Sunday, the weather was
blamed for at least eight deaths
in several fatal trafc accidents.
Te storm also caused hundreds
of rollover accidents, including
one that injured three members of
singer Willie Nelson's band when
their bus hit a pillar on Interstate
30 near Sulphur Springs, about 75
miles northeast of Dallas.
Dallas prepared for the storm by
declaring "Ice Force Level 1," code
for sending 30 sanding trucks
to trouble shoot hazardous road
conditions.
At Dallas-Fort Worth Interna-
tional Airport, spokeswoman
Cynthia Vega said most of the
cancelled fights were in the
afernoon and evening hours and
were with American Airlines and
American Eagle. Te possibility of
ice on the runways led to a series
of conference calls and meetings
early Sunday, she added, noting
the airport had liquid and solid
deicers ready for use.
Te storm system, though,
was particularly hard to predict
because a couple of degrees here
or there with the temperature will
determine whether regions see
rain, sleet or snow, Bradshaw said.
"It's very difcult to pin those
down," Bradshaw said. "It's slow
moving and it's sort of bringing
its energy out in pieces so it's
kind of hard to time these as they
come across with a great deal of
accuracy."

Cars slide on Paseo del Norte Sunday, Nov.24, in Albuquerque, N.M., after a winter storm hit New Mexico over the weekend making driving difcult for drivers. A large storm already blamed for at least eight deaths
in the West slogged through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and other parts of the southwest Sunday as it slowly churned east ahead of Thanksgiving.
A
few weeks ago, in a
Michigan middle school,
a handful of students
were prevented from honoring
a classmate who they lost to leu-
kemia. In the name of protecting
the other children from grief, the
administrators banned t-shirts
with her name. It backfred spec-
tacularly.
From putting children on leash-
es (which Im convinced parents
do for the comedy more than
anything) to putting children on
vegan diets, a sizable chunk of the
population is convinced that the
world is out to eat their children
alive. Its an unfortunate attitude
of overprotecting kids from
themselves that Im convinced
will do more harm than good.
As a pre-teen, I ran with a
small pack of other neighbor-
hood hoodlums around a set
of ponds that ran through all
our backyards. In a slimy, scrap
metal-flled corner, we made our
base in a sewage drainage pipe.
Every day we could, wed climb
through an obstacle course of
thorns, muddy hills and huge
slabs of unstable rocks to reach
it. We came out with cuts, bruises
and a genuine sense of adventure.
While other kids played Nintendo
64 until their eyes bled, we fought
of geese while scooping up frogs
with our bare hands.
Tis little oasis of the un-
knowna small, 100-square foot
block of swampgave us stories
to tell about wildlife, nasty pieces
of algae we dared each other to
lick and a perfect platform to play
Vietnam in the mud.
If you so much as mention that
sort of place to some parents
these days, youd get slapped.
Tese sorts of dangerous places
are harder and harder to fnd.
And if you do fnd one, theres
not a kid in sight. Teir parents
have trapped them inside eating
apple slices and playing cheap
video games that teach arithme-
tic and vocabulary. If they ever
emerge from their cave, pale and
emaciated, they hide from the sun
like Gollum.
Why is Calvin and Hobbes so
wildly popular? Its the antith-
esis of that style of parenting.
Everyone in retrospect wishes
theyd built a tree house and raced
wagons down their street afer
reading a healthy dose of Bill
Watterson.
Its easy to cast aspersions on
parents from afar. Tese are all
people doing the hardest job of
their lives and improvising most
of the time. Its true that times are
changing. Schools are now battle-
grounds. Food is flled with lead
and toys with mercury. Paranoia
is becoming standard.
About a month ago, I watched
my mom pull out her cell phone
and puf up like a blowfsh. Shes
cussing again! she declared to
the car. Shed installed an app
that let her remotely monitor my
sisters text messaging like Big
Brother went 4G. It wasnt just
the creepiness of the spying that
confused me, it was the indignity
and disbelief that her child was
cursing. Heres a woman that
congratulated me when I caught a
bucket full of tadpoles and named
them all Chuck.
And thats what Im really wor-
ried about: that maybe the second
Im responsible for another hu-
man life, Ill grow a Castro beard
and start banning comic books.
Im terrifed that this new social
landscape has redefned parenting
to a totalitarian dictatorship.
Tese scrapes, broken bones
and fghts in the schoolyard build
character. Te cuts heal into scars
that eventually fade. But the sense
of independence and confdence
never leaves you. Without my
sewage-pipe fort, Id be half who I
am today.
With that in mind, all I ask is
that once you fnd yourself taking
care of a tiny human, you take
your kid out of his cage, put him
on the leash and take him for a
walk every once in a while. And
refll his water-bowl; the water
gets funky afer a day or so.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2013 PAGE 4A
E
arlier this week, as you
might have heard, some
University of Texas at
Austin students put up a Face-
book event for a game of Catch
an Illegal Immigrantotherwise
known as Catch a Racist in the
Act of Being Really, Really Racist.
Te media has rightfully decried
the bigotry of the Young Con-
servatives of Texas, the student
group that was organizing the
event originally. And the students
of UT Austin themselves by and
large were disgusted (thankfully)
at the actions of some of their
peersso much that they actually
managed to put on a counter-pro-
test pro-immigration rally that
drew over 500 participants. Tis
is rad, because racist actions need
to be shut down thoroughly and
succinctly. And Im glad to learn
that the public pressure not only
halted this dehumanizing game
in its tracks, but that the undoc-
umented students of UT Austin
had a legion of folks standing
up for their dignity. Warms the
cold cockles of my feminist heart,
really.
But, as I saw people on my news-
feed talking about the original
event Catch an Illegal Immi-
grant and the counter-protest
that sprang up alternately, as I
saw from some friends who go to
UT Austin, referred to as I Am
UndocumentedI realized that
many people I know are not aware
of the importance of using un-
documented rather than illegal
when talking about immigrants.
Which means probably a lot of
yall are uneducated as well. Luck-
ily, its a pretty simple lesson.
No human being is ever illegal.
Tats it. Point blank, no con-
testation, no argument, no Rush
Limbaugh demagoguery making
my ears bleed out slowlya
human being cannot be illegal
just by nature of existing. A
person might do an act, yes, that
might transgress the law. But that
doesnt transform the entirety of
that person their very person-
hood as something not allowed
within the bounds of the law.
But the diferentiation between
undocumented and illegal is
about more than just pure seman-
ticsthe latter is a term that tries
to make us consider people as not,
well, people.
As tons of activists (like un-
documented folks themselves)
have been saying for years, the
term illegal immigrant strips an
undocumented individual of their
voice, human dignity and basic
human rights, for Petes sake. It in-
culcates into our minds the notion
that undocumented individuals
bodies are, in their sheer presence,
some sort of violent crime upon
the United States, upon citizen-
ship, upon Uncle Sam and Lady
Liberty, and a whole bunch of
other bull. But thats what the
term says.
It doesnt just say you dont
belong here. It says you dont
deserve to be, at all.
Tankfully, more and more news
outlets, such as the AP News,
are using undocumented and
not illegal, when referring to
migrants without documenta-
tion. But illegal immigrant as
a term (and slur) still persists.
Which is why you can make a
huge diference in the civil rights
conversation for a whole slew of
folks, just by changing the way
you speak and correcting others.
By saying undocumented, and
never illegal.
Its such a simple change, and
yet one with a tremendous im-
pact. One that restores a sense of
humanity to a conversation and
persecution that harms so many.
Let me borrow some words
of wisdom from the eternally
glorious, brilliant, Latina feminist
(who maybe I am a slight fangirl
of) Gloria Anzaldua: Caminante,
no hay puentes, se hace puentes
al andar. Voyager, there are no
bridges, one builds them as one
walks.
So take those necessary steps
of extending humanity to your
fellow humans, beginning with
the language you use towards said
fellow humans and start building
those bridges already.

Quoth the raven, Nevermore.
Edgar Allen Poe may have writ-
ten about a raven rather than a
crow in his eerie poem Te Ra-
ven, but both birds have proven
their ability to send a chill down
your spine.
Recently, John Marzluf has
received attention for his most
recent work with crows. Marzluf
is a faculty member at the
University of Washington and
his current project is the Neu-
roecology of American Crow
Recognition of People. Tis
project is described in detail on
the University of Washingtons
website, stating that, research
has demonstrated that American
Crows recognize individual hu-
mans who have wronged them in
the past and that they retain this
information for over fve years.
Tey demonstrate individual
learning of this information and
their social learning by observa-
tion can also be inferred.
Marzluf designed an exper-
iment using masks to test the
birds aptitude toward revenge.
As the New York Times reports,
To test the birds recognition
of faces separately from that of
clothing, gait and other individ-
ual human characteristics, Dr.
Marzluf and two students wore
rubber masks. He designated a
caveman mask as dangerous
and, in a deliberate gesture of
civic generosity, a Dick Cheney
mask as neutral. Researchers
in the dangerous mask then
trapped and banded seven crows
on the universitys campus in
Seattle.
Afer this initial stage of the
experiment, in the following
months, the researchers wore the
same masks on campus but this
time did not interfere with the
crows.
Te crows, however, interfered
with them. Te New York Times
summarizes the results by stating
the crows scolded people in the
dangerous mask signifcantly
more than they did before they
were trapped, even when the
mask was disguised with a hat or
worn upside down. Te neutral
mask provoked little reaction.
Te efect has not only persisted,
but also multiplied over the past
two years.
If the efect has multiplied over
the past two years, the efect
cannot be limited to just a couple
of scorned crows. Te research-
ers hypothesize that crows learn
to recognize threatening humans
from both parents and others in
their fock, reported the New
York Times.
Although, I am far removed
from Marzlufs research team,
Lawrence has its very own
scorned crow. Prairie Park Na-
ture Center houses a crow aptly
named Edgar. As a volunteer
at the nature center, Ive learned
that Edgar is fond of very few
people. I originally assumed that
this was just part of his person-
ality and that all were equal in
Edgars mind, a source of food
and nothing more.
One Saturday, a previous
volunteer, who had been out of
the country for a couple of years,
walked in and asked if she could
see Edgar. She assured us that
she had spent plenty of time with
him and that they were on good
terms. I assumed that Edgar
would have forgotten his connec-
tion with her over this long gap.
To my surprise, she walked into
the cage and Edgar stood on her
hand and genuinely seemed to
enjoy her company.
While I dont have the research
to prove that crows remember
kindness as well as they do
cruelty, I think that animals
remember how we treat them
much like humans do. And also
like humans, Marzlufs research
reminds us that reputations can
be spread throughout families
and social groups, especially bad
reputations.
When interacting with anyone,
animal or human, remember
that kindness and respect go a
long way.

Youll be gaining condence this
week, naturally. New prots become
available, or at least more visible to
you. But dont assume you know more

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7
Your dedication, patience and

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8

MOVIE REVIEW
Latest Hunger Games
lm burns up box ofce
Catching Fire is arguably one
of the most anticipated movies of
the year. Tis second installment
in the insanely popular Hunger
Games series is just as gripping as
the frst maybe even more so
and twice as jarring.
Te Hunger Games trilogy
resumes with main character Kat-
niss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence)
dealing with the political and
emotional repercussions of her
Hunger Games victory (docu-
mented in the frst flm of the
series). Katniss and fellow District
12 inhabitant Peeta Mellark (Josh
Hutcherson) turned the entire
country of Panem on its head
when both were proclaimed as
winners of the annual games a
bloody reminder of a rebellion
more than half a century before.
As Katniss and Peeta tour the
country, they become a symbol for
a new revolution and, conse-
quently, a threat to the controlling
government.
Te plot is a credit to Hunger
Games author Suzanne Collins.
Collins is an expert at creating
plot twists and keeping audiences
guessing. Trough her ingenuity,
Collins is able to turn her series,
originally meant for teen audienc-
es, into something enticing and
exciting for all ages.
Tough everything about the
movie is excellent the plot is
wonderful and the cinematog-
raphy is perfect the one thing
Catching Fire does especially
well is reiterate Katniss value as a
female protagonist. Katniss stands
up for what she believes in, but, in
doing so, is still unsure of herself.
She has real feelings and emo-
tional complexity. Katniss is the
heroine young-adult literature and
flm has been missing for quite
some time. Troughout the series,
she has made herself worthy of
role-model status for everyone,
teenager or not.
Catching Fire keeps with the
trilogys tradition of engrossing
plots with realistic characters. It
is a worthy sequel to last years
Hunger Games and a successful
lead into the fnal movie, which
will be broken up into two parts.

MUSIC REVIEW
Death Grips release
samples old lyrics
Death Grips is an experimen-
tal hip-hop group based out of
Sacramento, Calif. Te group
consists of lead vocalist MC Ride,
drummer Zach Hill and producer
Andy Morin. Te group has
received much critical acclaim
throughout the last few years,
especially its 2012 album, Te
Money Store. A few weeks ago,
the group released Government
Plates seemingly out of nowhere
and completely for free.
Tere is no other group or band
that can be compared to Death
Grips. Its sound is pretty hard to
explain but to try and put it sim-
ply, its like hip-hop mixed with
punk rock and electronic music.
On paper this combination seems
like it would be awful, but it all
comes together incredibly.
If theres one word that describes
Death Grips music, its aggres-
sive. MC Ride is not like any oth-
er rapper out there. He screams
his lyrics, and is at times incom-
prehensible. On the surface, it
seems like hes just screaming
nonsense. But once you actually
fgure out his lyrics, you realize
that hes an incredible lyricist.
Te biggest downfall of Gov-
ernment Plates is that MC Ride
doesnt appear enough. Tis was
upsetting because on the opening
track, Ride gives an extreme-
ly intense vocal performance.
Sadly, throughout the album
instead of new verses from Ride,
the band chose to continuously
sample previous verses. Tis type
of sampling isnt new to Death
Grips, but it leaves the listener
unsatisfed.
Since MC Ride doesnt appear
as much as he does on previous
eforts, the production carries
this project. Zach Hill and Andy
Morin are geniuses. Every Death
Grips release has been fantastic
musically and Government
Plates is no exception. Every-
thing from the noisy synths to
the hard-hitting drums sounds
amazing. Te beats can get a
little repetitive at times, but quite
frankly theyre the best part about
the album.
If youve never given Death Grips
a shot, you should at least give
this project a listen. Its not good
as previous eforts, but its still
really good.

Pumpkin pie is a popular dessert served with
Tanksgiving dinner, but pumpkin treats can wear
out before then. Instead of the usual pie, try one of
these fall-inspired desserts with 10 ingredients or
less.
CINNAMON APPLE SWIRL CAKE:
Tis cinnamon apple swirl cake only uses fve
ingredients, which dont require intense preparation.
Te cake provides a rich treat that is low-fat but still
satisfes a sweet tooth. (Recipe courtesy of a family
recipe.)

Ingredients:
-3 eggs
-17 ounces applesauce
-1 box of yellow cake mix
- cup sugar
-3 tablespoons cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a
bundt pan with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Start
by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a small
bowl. Sprinkle two tablespoons of the mixture into
the greased bundt pan. Next, combine the eggs, ap-
plesauce and cake mix with a whisk in a medium-size
bowl. Scoop half the batter into the bundt pan and
sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on
top. Pour the remaining batter into the pan and bake
for 35 to 40 minutes. Let the cake cool for at least 15
minutes before fipping the pan to remove the cake.
APPLE CIDER CARAMEL COOKIES:
Cookies are a dessert that is easy to serve and can be
snacked on throughout the day. Tis recipe uses fa-
vors of caramel and cider to bring the essence of fall
to the dessert table. (Recipe courtesy of Six Sisters
Stuf blog.)

Ingredients:
-1 cup unsalted butter, nearly melted
-1 cup granulated sugar
- teaspoon salt
-1 box Alpine Spiced Apple Cider Instant
Original Drink Mix
-2 eggs
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon baking soda
- teaspoon baking powder
-3 cups all-purpose four
-1 (14 ounce) bag Kraf Caramels

Directions:
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Make
sure to line the baking sheets with parchment paper
to prevent a sticky mess. Combine butter, sugar, salt
and cider packets in a bowl and cream with a mixer
until batter is fufy. Add in the eggs and vanilla
extract, followed by the baking soda and baking
powder. Lastly, mix in the four until combined.
Form the dough into balls and place two inches apart
on the baking sheet. Make an indent in the center of
the cookie to place an unwrapped caramel and form
the dough around it. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until the
cookies are golden brown.
SIMPLE PUMPKIN PIE BARS:
If the pumpkin still needs to be in the Tanksgiving
meal somewhere, try these simple pumpkin pie bars.
It resembles pumpkin pie with a homemade crust
and flling, but ofers something with a little more
spice. (Recipe courtesy of Some the Wiser blog.)
Crust Ingredients:
-1 cup unbleached white four
- cup brown sugar
-1 stick of butter (sofened)
Filling Ingredients:
-8 ounces cream cheese (sofened)
- cup sugar
- cup pumpkin puree
-2 eggs (slightly beaten)
-1 teaspoons cinnamon
-1 teaspoon allspice
-1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Start the crust by
combining all crust ingredients into a food processor
and pulsing several times until crumbly. Measure
out cup of crust and set aside. Press the remaining
crust mixture into a 8x11 pan and bake for 15 min-
utes. Combine flling ingredients into a medium size
bowl and mix together with an electric mixer until
smooth. Pour the batter onto the cooled crust and
sprinkle the remaining crust on top. Bake for 30 to 35
minutes, or until frm.

HOLIDAYS TELEVISION
CHEPSTOW, Wales Te
myths, magic and monsters of
ancient Greek lore are coming to
life in the BBC's new fantasy-ad-
venture series "Atlantis" from
the unlikely setting of a former
frozen-food warehouse in Wales.
A vast space once stufed with
supermarket foodstufs has been
turned into a television studio,
flled with sets recreating the
fabled lost city, complete with
temples and terracotta-roofed
houses, ceremonial bull ring and
regal palace.
"Atlantis," which starts on BBC
America Saturday, is already a
sizable hit in Britain, where it flls
the family-viewing weekend slot
previously occupied by sword-
and-sorcery series "Merlin."
"Atlantis" was created by some
of the same team as "Merlin,"
and like that show takes age-old
stories and seasons them with
humor, thrills and a central
bromance.
Actor Mark Addy, who plays a
less-than-heroic version of Her-
cules in "Atlantis," says the recipe
involves "a lot of heart and a lot
of humor and a huge amount of
action and adventure."
"Tey wanted it to be epic in
scale and in feeling, and that's
what they've managed to do," he
said during a break on a busy
day's flming in August.
"We're doing stuf that you'd
only ever see in movies, because
it's difcult and it's expensive and
it's time consuming and it's chal-
lenging," Addy said of the 13-part
series, shot over nine months in
Wales and Morocco.
"Atlantis" opens with a young
man named Jason played by
the strapping, curly haired Jack
Donnelly washing up in the
city of Atlantis, disoriented but
somehow instantly at home.
Te Oracle there's always an
oracle hints at big secrets to be
revealed.
Jason soon meets brainy, kindly
Pythagoras. "Te triangle guy?"
asks Jason, and indeed it is the an-
cient philosopher and mathemati-
cian, here a young man played by
Robert Emms.
Te third side of the central
triangle is Hercules, in the
perhaps surprising form of
Addy, the burly actor who played
a steelworker-turned-stripper in
"Te Full Monty" and King Robert
Baratheon in "Game of Trones."
Te casting is a sign of the
show's fexible approach to the
Greek myths. Tis Hercules has
superhuman strength, but he's no
bronzed muscleman.
"He wasn't strong because he
went to the gym, he was strong
because he was Zeus's son," Addy
explained, reasonably. "Although
he was a demigod, I think he's
inherited most of his mother's
mortal traits. He drinks and gam-
bles and he's a womanizer."
Te cast includes Sarah Parish as
scheming queen Pasiphae, Aiysha
Hart as comely princess Ariadne,
and Jemima Rooper as Medusa
here a young woman who has
yet to become the snake-haired
gorgon of legend.
But the show rests on the three
main actors, referred to collec-
tively by their fellow actors as "the
boys."
For the 49-year-old Addy, being
one of the boys has been fun
even if hanging out with his
27-year-old co-stars makes him
feel "very old."
He recalled nipping out for
a cigarette during a meal with
Emms and hearing a woman at
the next table say "'Your dad's
being very polite.' And Rob of
course didn't disabuse her."
Such mix-ups probably ended
as soon as the frst episode of
"Atlantis" was broadcast in
September. Te show is watched
by seven million people a week
in Britain, and a second season
has already been announced. And
Donnelly has become something
of a heartthrob.
On set in August, Donnelly said
the feeling that his life was about
to change was "amazing and
daunting."
"It's the best thing that's ever
happened to me by a long, long
way," said the cheerful actor, look-
ing as bouncily indestructible as
his character, who is required to
battle bulls, baddies and Mino-
taurs on a weekly basis, clad in a
fetching jerkin.
"Te frst few weeks I was terri-
fed. I was just waiting to get fred.
... I mean, my last job before this
was in (comedy show) 'Misfts'
and I was wearing a white rabbit
mask and I had no lines and no
one saw my face.
"To go from that to this, I sud-
denly thought 'I'm not ready.' It
has got slightly easier since then."
Emms has a longer CV, in-
cluding major flm roles in "War
Horse" and opposite Julia Roberts
in "Mirror Mirror." But he said he
was also nervous although that
was ofset by his family's delight at
his new role.
"I've played ... some not very
nice people, some weirdos," he
said. "And my mum's like, 'I'm
so pleased you're playing a nice
person who doesn't kill anyone.'
She always just wanted me to play
a doctor."

WASHINGTON Dozens
of leading news organizations
protested to the White House on
Tursday against restrictions that
sometimes keep journalists from
taking pictures and video of Pres-
ident Barack Obama performing
ofcial duties. At the same time,
two press groups urged their
members to stop using ofcial
photos and video handed out by
the White House, dismissing them
as little more than "government
propaganda."
Te news organizations' letter
to White House press secretary
Jay Carney detailed a number
of recent examples in which
photographers weren't allowed to
cover presidential events that were
deemed "private" by adminis-
tration ofcials even though
the White House indicated their
newsworthiness by releasing its
own photos of the same events.
"As surely as if they were placing
a hand over a journalist's camera
lens, ofcials in this adminis-
tration are blocking the public
from having an independent view
of important functions of the
executive branch of government,"
the letter states, adding that
the restrictions imposed by the
Obama White House represent a
major break from the practices of
past administrations.
Te news organizations said the
White House limits on access raise
constitutional concerns about in-
fringement on First Amendment
press freedoms and have "a direct
and adverse impact on the public's
ability to independently monitor
and see what its government is
doing."
Te press coalition, which in-
cluded Te Associated Press, ma-
jor broadcast and cable networks,
wire services, online services and
newspapers, said the access limits
also undercut Obama's pledge to
create a more transparent govern-
ment, and impose "an arbitrary
restraint and unwarranted inter-
ference on legitimate newsgather-
ing activities."
Te groups requested an imme-
diate meeting with Carney on how
to restore full press access.
Simultaneously, the presidents
of the American Society of News
Editors and the Associated Press
Media Editors sent a letter to their
members urging them to stop
using handout photos and video
from the White House.
"We must accept that we, the
press, have been enablers,"
the ASNE-APME letter states.
"We urge those of you in news
organizations to immediately
refrain from publishing any of the
photographs or videos released
by the White House, just as you
would refuse to run verbatim a
press release from them."
Te AP has a policy against
using handout photos from the
White House unless they are of
signifcant news value and shot in
areas that the press doesn't expect
to have access to, such as the
Situation Room.
Obama spokesman Josh Earnest
cast the news organizations' pro-
tests as part of the natural tension
that exists between journalists and
those they cover.

SAN QUENTIN, Calif. Te
budding entrepreneurs wear blue
sweatpants labeled "prisoner" and
huge, fapping blue shirts. Teir
doors are triple locked, and lunch
is a stale peanut butter and jelly
sandwich. Complicating matters,
participants in this growing Silicon
Valley startup incubator are barred
from the Internet.
Nonetheless, the program,
launched by successful tech
entrepreneurs for inmates north of
San Francisco in the decaying San
Quentin State Prison, has expand-
ed, and a new session began this
month in the gritty, downtown Los
Angeles Twin Towers Correctional
Facility.
Te reason they're growing is
simple: Graduates, now trickling
out of the penal system, are land-
ing real jobs at real dot-coms.
Te rigorous, six-month training
teaches carefully selected inmates
the ins and outs of designing
and launching technology frms,
using local experts as volunteer
instructors.
"We believe that when incar-
cerated people are released into
the world, they need the tools
to function in today's high-tech,
wired world," says co-founder
Beverly Parenti, who with her hus-
band, Chris Redlitz, has launched
thriving companies, including
AdAuction, the frst online media
exchange.
Te pair were Silicon Valley
pioneers in the 1990s, and they tap
their many high-level connections
to help with the prison program
they started the program afer
Redlitz was invited into San Quen-
tin in 2011 for a guest lecture and
was overwhelmed by the inmates'
desire to learn.
"I fgured, 'We work with young
entrepreneurs every day. Why not
here?'" he recalled.
Afer discussions with prison
administrators, Parenti and Redlitz
decided to add a prison-based frm
to their portfolio, naming it for the
precarious journey from prison to
home: Te Last Mile.
Now, during twice-a-week
evening lessons, students many
locked up before smartphones
or Google practice tweeting,
brainstorm new companies and
discuss business books assigned
as homework. Banned from the In-
ternet to prevent networking with
other criminals, they take notes on
keyboard-like word processors or
with pencil on paper.
Te program is still "bootstrap-
ping," as its organizers say, with
just 12 graduates in its frst two
years and now a few dozen in
classes in San Quentin and Twin
Towers. But the fve graduates
released so far are working in the
tech sector.
Tey are guaranteed paid intern-
ships if they can fnish the rigorous
training program, which requires
prerequisite courses, proven social
skills and a lifetime oath to lead by
positive example.
In one recent class, while thou-
sands of inmates exercised or
played chess in San Quentin's pris-
on yard, students worked their way
through a business model, pitching
diferent technology concepts.
"What are the distribution chan-
nels?" challenged seminar leader
Andrew Kaplan, a product market-
ing manager at LinkedIn. "What
platforms or networks do we need
to think about? Who are we trying
to engage?"
Tommy Winfrey, 35, who is
serving 25 years to life for sec-
ond-degree murder and hopes to
be paroled in 2018, adjusted his
eyeglasses and raised a tattooed
arm. "I think an important part
of our brand is going to be to give
our customer a voice," he said,
suggesting they share ideas on
social media.
On a Silicon Valley-style Demo
Day, the startup students present
ideas to investors, a demonstration
that convinced former California
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation director Matthew
Cate he made the right decision to
approve the training course.
"Tis program will go a long way
to not only providing these guys
with jobs, but it is my hope that
they hire people like them who
have changed their lives and are
now ready to contribute to society,
pay taxes, follow the law, support
their families. All those things
contribute to the economy," he
told participants afer watching the
2012 Demo Day.
Inmates also learn the essen-
tial startup skills of blogging, in
part by answering questions on
Quora, a website that allows users
and experts to communicate,
by having volunteers input their
entries. Without real businesses
to discuss, thousands of readers
ask the inmates questions such as:
"What does it feel like to murder
someone?"
"Murdering someone was the
ultimate release for me," blogged
David Monroe, 30, who killed
a 16-year-old when he was 15.
Over the long term, he added, the
murder "has forever pitted my
heart with regret and covered it in
shame."
Writing publically about their
crimes, organizers say, helps the
inmates move forward once they
are released.
Just months afer serving 24 years
for repeat drug ofenses and weap-
ons possession, Chrisfno Kenyatta
Leal fed his cat and ironed his shirt
before hurrying of to catch a Bay
Area Rapid Transit train in to his
ofce in San Francisco.
"I always had an entrepreneurial
fre in my belly, I just used it in the
wrong way," said Leal, 45.
Like the other entrepreneurs
hurrying to meetings, tapping on
computers and talking on smart-
phones at startup RocketSpace,
Leal has a passion for technology
and the possibilities it holds.
He just acquired his skills in a
very diferent classroom.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. For
months, all eyes in the sky have
pointed at the comet that's zoom-
ing toward a blisteringly close
encounter with the sun.
Te moment of truth comes
Tursday Tanksgiving Day.
Te sun-grazing Comet ISON,
now thought to be less than a mile
wide, will either fry and shatter,
victim of the sun's incredible pow-
er, or endure and quite possibly
put on one fabulous celestial show.
Talk about an astronomical
clifanger.
Even the smartest scientists are
reluctant to lay odds.
Should it survive, ISON, pro-
nounced EYE'-sahn, would be
visible with the naked eye through
December, at least from the North-
ern Hemisphere. Discernible at
times in November with ordinary
binoculars and occasionally even
just the naked eye, it already has
dazzled observers and is consid-
ered the most scrutinized comet
ever by NASA. But the best is,
potentially, yet to come.
Detected more than a year ago,
the comet is passing through the
inner solar system for the frst
time. Still fresh, this comet is
thought to bear the pristine matter
of the beginning of our solar
system.
It's believed to be straight from
the Oort cloud on the fringes of
the solar system, home to count-
less icy bodies, most notably the
frozen balls of dust and gas in orbit
around the sun known as comets.
For whatever reason, ISON was
propelled out of this cloud and
drawn toward the heart of the
solar system by the sun's intense
gravitational pull.
Te closer the comet gets to the
sun, the faster it gets.
In January, it was clocked at
40,000 mph.
By last Tursday, with just a week
to go, it had accelerated to 150,000
mph.
Right around the time many
Americans will be feasting on
turkey, the comet will zip within
730,000 miles of the sun, less than
the actual solar diameter. In other
words, another sun wouldn't ft in
the missed distance.
By the time ISON slingshots
around the sun, it will be moving
at a mind-boggling 828,000 mph.
Whether it survives or is torn
apart, earthlings have nothing to
fear.
Te comet will venture no closer
to us than about 40 million miles,
less than half the distance between
Earth and the sun. Tat closest
approach to Earth will occur Dec.
26. Ten it will head away in the
opposite direction forever, given
its anticipated trajectory once it
fies by the sun.
ISON is named afer the Interna-
tional Scientifc Optical Network,
used by a pair of Russian astron-
omers to detect the comet in Sep-
tember last year. But it ofcially is
known as C/2012 S1, a designation
indicating when it was discovered.
Take heart: Te "C'' means it is
not expected here again.
NASA wasted no time jumping
on ISON. Te space agency's Deep
Impact spacecraf observed ISON
back in January from a distance of
about 500 million miles.
Since then, the observations have
stacked up.
Among NASA's space telescopes
taking a look: Swif, Hubble,
Spitzer, Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter, Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory or SOHO, Chandra,
Mercury-orbiting Messenger, and
the Stereo twin spacecraf.
"Every spacecraf that has a
camera, we're turning on it," said
John Grunsfeld, NASA's science
mission director.

Afer a cold night in Ames,
Iowa, Kansas once again fnds
itself in the cellar of the Big 12.
Te feld at Jack Trice Stadium
was icy, close to the second com-
ing of the frozen tundra: Lambeau
Field. Taking any misdirection on
the feld almost always resulted
into a stumble-fest, where getting
full traction on the feld was near
impossible.
Te temperature was frigid the
whole night, plummeting to a
wind chill of -7 degrees in the
second half, but a lot more things
went unfavorably for Kansas than
merely the feld conditions.
We lost 34-0, senior ofensive
linemen Gavin Howard said. Te
feld wasnt the reason we got
killed.
Head coach Charlie Weis cer-
tainly saw the feld as an obstacle,
but didnt see it ft for an excuse of
why Kansas got walloped 34-0 by
Iowa State.
I really didnt feel like the
weather itself was a factor, Weis
said. I thought the feld was a
factor. But both teams played on
the same feld, obviously Iowa
State did a much better job of
handling the feld.
Coupled with the scary cold
weather was the dangerously
futile Kansas ofense, which had
fve drives inside Iowa States
territory in the frst half but failed
to muster any points. Tis was
Kansas frst shutout on the wrong
end Texas defeated the Jayhawks
43-0 in 2011.
In Montell Cozarts frst road
start as a Jayhawk, he struggled
and had statistically his worst
game of the season. Cozart saw
some lanes open early on, but two
mistakes in the frst half spelled
out the freshman quarterbacks
rough night.
Kansas was driving inside of
Iowa States territory and had a
third down to push the ball into
the red zone. On a 3rd-and-10,
Cozart tucked it and dashed
toward the sidelines, but as he
neared the frst down marker, he
stepped out of bounds just a yard
short.
Cozart had an open cutback
lane, but never saw it. Weis chal-
lenged the spot and lost, and one
play later James Sims was stufed
on fourth down as Kansas again
failed to muster anything.
Te next blunder came when
Cozart overthrew his receiver
by a few yards at the end of the
half resulting in an interception.
Iowa State was only up 10-0 at the
break, but missed opportunities
defned the half.
Cozart fnished the game four
of 12 for 20 yards and afer Weis
fgured that running to the out-
side wasnt working partly due to
the feld conditions, Cozart was
yanked for Jake Heaps midway
through the third quarter.
Kansas totaled just 279 total
yards and was three-of-16 on
third downs as it saw itself fall in
last place in the Big 12 once again.
A win versus Kansas State next
weekend is the only thing that will
change that.
Iowa State, which didnt have
much impediments of moving
the ball, struck frst guided by a
58-yard pass from Grant Rohach
to ISU running back Aaron Wim-
bley who ran past an exposed Ben
Heeney pass coverage with no
help behind him.
Iowa State had its second largest
scoring output of the season
and compiled 502 yards of total
ofense.
Weis mentioned that this loss
will only be emotional blow for
one day and that it will be well
aware in preparing for the Sun-
fower Showdown.
Anytime youre playing your
arch rival, it shouldnt take much
to rally the troops, Weis said.
If it does then you really have a
problem.

High in section 21 of Allen
Fieldhouse the last few rows of
student seating the sign went
up.
Lobrence, KS. cut out in huge
white letters.
Te Jayhawks took the court at
the same time the sign debuted
and barely noticed, but the rest of
the crowd was enthralled.
It was either an ominous
warning for Towson, or someone
tipped those students of to the
Jayhawks game plan: Go up,
throw down and repeat.
For the frst 20 minutes thats
all Kansas seemed to do. A quick
pass from Naadir Tarpe, or a
dunk from Tarik Black, Wayne
Selden Jr. or Andrew Wiggins. It
was a pick your highlight type of
night as No. 2 Kansas defeated
Towson 88-58.
We were aggressive, ran the
foor, threw lobs and played hard,
Wiggins said afer a team leading
16-point performance. Its our
nature. We just always think
attack and drive. We play for each
other.
Kansas was on the cusp of an
explosive performance, espe-
cially afer clobbering Iona with
alley-oops in the second half last
Tuesday. In that game the Jay-
hawks outscored their opponent
by 20 points. Against Towson,
they upped that to 30 at one
point leading by 39.
Every other top fve team has
recorded a victory of 30 points or
more in this young season a bar
thats expected to be met against
lesser challengers.
None of which is to say that
Kansas hadnt played a good game
yet, only that it hadnt played a
complete game. Tat much was
quashed as the Jayhawks shoved
aside the Tigers. Bullied them out
of Lawrence like a group of kids
who wouldnt let anyone else play
with the toys in their clubhouse.
Tey were locked in tonight,
Towson coach Pat Skerry said.
If theres a better team in the
country Id like to fnd out who
they are, but I wouldnt like to
play them.
Kansas toyed with the rim, the
3-point line (7-16) and of course
the Tigers, whose plan of attack
blew up in the frst few minutes.
Te plan was to get into a half-
court defensive war and then try
to push it, Jerrelle Benimon said,
who led Towson with 21 points.
We werent making shots so we
couldnt really keep them out of
transition.
Which is what made the
Lobrence sign so timely. Afer
every missed Towson shot, and
every failed attempt by the Tigers
to crash the glass, Kansas started
running.
An outlet pass from Joel Embiid,
a dunk by Andrew Wiggins,
or Andrew White III, or Tarik
Black or Wayne Selden Jr. and
jump back on defense. It was like
watching a dog fall for the same
trick again and again.
Te Jayhawks combined for 19
assists while scoring 29 points on
the fast break. Towson mustered
just eight points in transition.
Id like to say Ive been working
with him, Kansas coach Bill Self
said of Embiids passing. Its in-
stinctive. Hes just smart like that.
He understands, hes got feel. He
was good at it tonight.
So the Jayhawks kept going up.
Soaring over the foor while their
opponents helplessly looked on
down below.
Maybe those kids holding up the
sign knew what was coming. Or
maybe they were just damn lucky.
We looked athletic, Self said. I
think thats the frst time all year.

KANSAS SHUT OUT PAGE 6B-7B

elcome to Kansas bas-
ketball, Tarik Black.
Weve been waiting to
see what you can do. Its not that
anyone thought you couldnt play.
Or that Lawrence wasnt the right
place for you. It just took a few
games to learn your new ground.
Tats understandable.
When a player is nearing 1000
points in college basketball, youre
supposed to give them the beneft
of the doubt. It was just expected
that Black would return the bene-
fts right from the start.
Blacks six points and four
rebounds against Towson looked
much more impressive in person
than they do on the stat sheet. His
thunderous dunks in the opening
minutes of the Kansas victory
sparked an onslaught of scoring
from above the rim.
Tis is what Jayhawks fans
envisioned when Black transferred
from Memphis afer last season.
Tis is the Tarik Black who Tigers
coach Josh Pastner raved about.
Te Tarik Black who fts perfectly
into Bill Self s high-low system.
Tis is what was supposed to
happen from day one. Black joins
the Jayhawks, opens up room to
score in the paint and grooms guys
like Joel Embiid and Jamari Tray-
lor to fll his spot next year.
It wasnt even shocking when in
training camp Self announced that
Black would have the chance to
play as much as he wanted. It was
almost expected.
Instead, the new rules got to
Black. Hard as he fought to clear
the paint, he couldnt stop drawing
calls. Black got into foul trouble
during the preseason, he got into
foul trouble during the Champions
Classic and he got into foul trouble
against Iona.
And this wasnt the type of
trouble you play through. Not
with how deep the bench is for the
Jayhawks.
You could sense the frustration
mounting for the big man. Game
afer game, he came out looking to
make a diference on the foor only
to end up on the bench by the frst
media timeout.
Tings get a little tougher when
your backup goes 7-7 from the
feld and picks up 13 rebounds like
Joel Embiid did against Iona.
So against Towson, Black fought
to show of what he transferred
to Kansas to do in the frst place:
share some of the spotlight.
As a basketball player I don't
plan on coming out there and
sitting on the side line, Black said
afer Kansas defeated Towson 88-
58. I was able to get on the court
and do what I needed to do."
What he needed to do was clog
up the paint on ofense and de-
fense. He accomplished that with
a thunderous dunk in the opening
minutes afer stealing the ball from
the Tigers Marcus Damas.
From there Black was ofcially
activated and he seemed to play
without over-thinking or worrying
for what was likely the frst time
all season.
"It got everything going, Black
said of his opening dunk. I feel
that's what sparked everything
because on the next play Wayne
(Selden) came down and had the
two-handed dunk. It got the ener-
gy fowing and gave us the fun we
want to have this year."
Edited by Paige Lytle
F
ree agency is a beautiful time. Lets be
honest, its also the coolest time of any
video game. Being able to throw mil-
lions of dollars at players to get them to join
your squad and win it all.
No money is thrown around more than in
the MLB.
Te Kansas City Royals were good last
year: solid ofense, and even more solid
pitching. It really does not matter how good
you are though if you do not make it to the
playofs.
Dayton Moore, the highly scrutinized gen-
eral manager of the Royals, made a few of
season moves last year to help them rope in
James Shields and Ervin Santana. Te two
made a substantial impact last season. Well
its that same time this year and the Royals
have some moves to make if they want to be
in the playofs next year, or even close in on
the same record as last season.
Te biggest thing they need to do is retain
Ervin Santana, which will likely not happen.
Posting a 3.24 ERA Santana is widely con-
sidered a top 3 free agent pitcher, so losing
him would be huge.
In order to combat that move, the Roy-
als signed Jason Vargas, a long time in-
nings-eater. Vargas, in terms of Royals his-
tory, is much like a Gil Meche, except for not
quite as good. Vargas is a guy who eats in-
nings and throw strikes and if you give him a
couple runs. Hes a decent number four staf
guy. Tis is a nice move but not fully what
they need.
Te Royals already missed out on the Josh
Johnson, Tim Hudson lottery, but
that doesnt mean all of the low-
risk-high-reward guys are gone.
Guys like Bartolo Colon and
Roy Halladay are long time vet-
erans with a lot of miles on them,
but are capable of adding the one
thing Kansas City desperately
needs: wins.
Te pitching staf is still the
strength of the team regardless
of Santanas return or not. Tat
doesnt mean they should be
done signing pitchers though.
Te ofense as well could use a pick-me-up.
Tough second base may still be the big-
gest gap in the ofense, the only available
free agent upgrade will be Omar Infante.
Infante, who is rumored to be interested in
KC, is a versatile guy who can play just about
anywhere other than catcher but his MO is
speed and average, not power.
Tere is one bopper the Royals would love
to have for one more go-round. Carlos Bel-
tran, the 36-year-old
now corner outfeld-
er, appears to be done
with the other Missou-
ri team afer they made
moves to grab Peter
Bourjos. Beltran helped
the Royals to a winning
record back in 03. Beltran
would be the perfect corner
outfelder and middle of the
lineup bat moving forward
into next year. If the Royals
swing and miss on Beltran,
a Nate McLouth-esque player
would complement the team quite well.
Te Royals may not strike gold this ofsea-
son. Te challenge will be if Dayton Moore
can get the mid-level type guys like Infante
and Colon who can lead the team to its frst
post season in years.

Kansas runner earns highest
NCAA nish in seven years
Saturdays climate did not lend itself
to a great cross-country race, but junior
Reid Buchanan didnt mind, or at least
thats what his nish time would sug-
gest. Even in strong wind, rain and the
bitter cold, Buchanan earned the best
NCAA Championship nish by a Jayhawk
in seven years.
Facing a saturated LaVern Gibson
Championship Cross Country course in
Terre Haute, Ind., with a wind chill in
the low 20s, Buchanan missed earning
All-American status on Saturday by less
than a minute.
I wasnt that nervous before the race,
Buchanan said. The mud and freezing
temperatures made conditions for the
race pretty difcult.
Buchanan, the only Jayhawk to
compete at the NCAA Cross Country
Championships, nished the 10k course
in 31:44.0, averaging 5:06 per mile. Had
he nished a few places higher, he would
have cemented his name in Jayhawk
history, becoming the programs 27th
All-American. But that is what next year
is all about: tying up loose ends and
accomplishing the goals that he and his
team missed out on this season.
I didnt get out very well at the start
of the race, but I thought I closed well
in the last 500 meters or so, Buchanan
said following his 142nd place nish .
I think having a team there to run with
and ght for when the conditions are
tough would have really helped today.
That will denitely be the goal for next
year.
The rest of the Kansas cross-country
team stayed at home while Buchanan
made the trip up north. Former Big 12
member Colorado took home its fourth
national title in school history on the
mens side. Providence took home the
championship on the womens side after
nishing as the runner-up in 2012.
With Buchanans NCAA Championship
experience, and a lot of other talent re-
turning next season, the Jayhawks could
qualify for the race as a team next year.
The Jayhawks now transition their focus
to the indoor track season. The team
will return to action at the Bob Timmons
Challenge on Saturday, Dec. 7, inside
the cozy connes of Anschutz Sports
Pavilion.

Te last time the 2014 senior class
and the No. 22 Jayhawks played in
Horejsi Athletic Center was Satur-
day, and Kansas beat Texas Tech
25-19,25-21,25-23.
Afer the win, coach Ray Bechard
said this years seniors are the most
successful class in program history.
In honor of redshirt senior
Caroline Jarmoc, who is a Calgary,
Canada native, a Canadian fag hung
in the rafers next to the American
fag, and O Canada played prior to
Te Star Spangled Banner for the
frst time all season.
It was awesome to hear, Jarmoc
said. Im far away from home and
its really nice that they showed their
appreciation for me and showed
respect to my country.
Senior day shows what the program
will be missing next season, but the
future looks bright for the Jayhawks.
Freshman middle blocker Tayler
Soucie came into Saturday three
blocks shy of the Kansas record for
the most blocks by a Jayhawk in a
debut season, which was set by none
other than Jarmoc with 115 total
blocks. Soucie blocked two balls in
the frst set to tie the record. In the
second set, she blocked her way into
Kansass volleyball history and ended
the game with six total blocks.
I feel Ive come a long way from
blocking, Soucie said. Just from
coming in early and working with
coach Byrd and Jar.
Soucie, who was named Big 12
Conference Rookie of the Week Nov.
18, didnt record an error until the
third set and ended the day with a
career-high 13 kills on 22 attempts.
Soucies .500 hitting percentage was
her seventh match with a .500 or
above hitting percentage.
She has been pretty good here
[from] day one, Bechard said.
Erin (McNorton) trusted her on
set point back-to-back times and
she delivered Shes competitive
and confdent and has a great future
ahead of her.
Soucies accomplishments went
unnoticed with all the focus on her
predecessors, but a feeling of a torch
being passed from Jarmoc to Soucie
was noticeable.
I can thank [Caroline] for every-
thing that Im accomplishing, Soucie
said. Watching the things she does
and the way she pushes me to get
better. She never says youre just a
freshman so thats ok, no she pushes
me to become just like her.
Te Jayhawks have one remaining
home match, but the match will be
played at Allen Fieldhouse for the
frst time since the 2012 NCAA tour-
nament matches. Te Jayhawks will
host Denver University on Tuesday
at 6:30 p.m.
You do it to promote the sport
frst and foremost, Bechard said
when asked about playing in the
Fieldhouse. We get more fans in
there and thats one of our criteria
as a program, how are we promote
the sport in this region Denver is
excited about that too.

REBOUNDS ASSISTS POINTS
Came off the bench to score 13 points and made
three of his four 3-point attempts. He was a major
part of the rst half surge as he contributed 10
points on a perfect 3-for-3 from the oor.
We saw what he can do in the Duke game when he
knocked down two jumpers in a short span in the
rst half. Against Towson, he played just six minutes
and had two points, two turnovers and two fouls.
This came after sitting the entire game against Iona.
After scoring 13 against Iona, Wiggins tallied 14
against Towson in the rst half alone. He ranked
second on the team with seven total rebounds, in-
cluding four offensive boards. His 16 points to nish
the game came on just eight shot attempts.

Kansas bench contributes to early success
KANSAS 88
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Freshman guard Wayne Selden Jr. drives around a Towson defender during Fridays game. Selden Jr. had 12 points and was one of four Jayhawks to score in double gures.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Sophomore guard Andrew White III lays the ball up for two of his 13 points on
Friday. White was 4-6 from the eld on the night.
One of Kansas most glaring
weaknesses last season has quickly
turned into one of its biggest
strengths.
Te Kansas bench has outscored
its opponent in every game so
far this season. For the year, the
Jayhawk reserves have scored 137
points compared to just 70 for the
opponents.
Te bench matched its total
against Iona and fnished with 39
points on 61-percent shooting
from the foor on Friday. Te 39
points was nine more than the 30
scored by the Towson starters.
Our bench was pretty good,
coach Bill Self said. Tey were
probably as good as our starters in
the frst half.
Towson forward Jerrelle Beni-
mon was caught of guard by the
amount of players that Self could
send into the ball game.
Tey have good depth, Ben-
imon said. I didnt realize they
played that many players.
Te Kansas bench has reached at
least 25 points in every game this
season.
Andrew White III played just
14 minutes but ended the night
in double fgures with 13 points
on 3-4 from 3-point range. He
checked in and quickly scored 10
points during Kansas explosive
frst half. White III leads the team
with seven 3-pointers for the
season.
I thought Andrew White came
in and gave us some good min-
utes, Self said.
Joel Embiid came of of his
double-double performance and
had another efcient outing as
he totaled eight points on 4-for-5
shooting. His most impressive stat
came on the defensive side as he
fnished with a game-high three
blocks.
Teyve got some good length
up front, Benimon said. Te
freshman kid blocked shots really
well, he runs pretty good, too.
Embiid said the coaches have
been working to help him become
the dynamic shot-blocker they
know he can be.
Tey have been showing me
what to work on along with show-
ing me flm of how Jef Withey did
it, Embiid said. Tey tell me to
stay on the ground and not to go
for it on shot fakes.
Frank Mason provided another
spark to the team and fnished
with a game-high six assists.
Last season, Kansas played with a
predominantly seven-man rotation
with Naadir Tarpe and Jamari
Traylor coming of the bench. Tis
year, Self has as many as 10 players
that could see signifcant minutes.
With Elijah Johnson struggling
last season, Tarpe proved to be
the only capable backup at the
guard spot. Traylor would be the
frst post player of the bench with
Perry Ellis receiving occasional
minutes. Self wouldnt go deeper
than eight players on most nights.
Tis year is a diferent story as
the Jayhawks have depth in the
entire lineup.
Embiid and Traylor have proved
to be reliable backups to Tarik
Black when he gets into foul
trouble. Many believe Embiid will
earn a spot in the starting fve by
mid-season. Traylor came up big
against Duke and will continue to
bring energy and athleticism of
the bench.
Self can now bring in up to four
guards from the bench. Mason
provides a solid backup to Tarpe
at the point guard position. White
III, Frankamp and Greene are
long-range shooters who have
shown promise.
When his starters get into foul
trouble this year, don't expect Self
to panic.

Game slips away as players slide on icy field
GLASS HALF FULL
Man, this one is tough. Not a whole lot of positives to extract from this game. Maybe, perhaps that the
Kansas receivers are doing a better job of getting open in space. Andrew Turzilli has shown some ability
to separate from defenders, but Cozart had Turzilli twice in the end zone for potential scores, but failed to
connect, leaving Kansas with zero points.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
Cozart, the defense and the drops. Cozart has an arm, that much is obvious. But his accuracy is far from
adequate as his multiple overthrows plagued the Kansas offense, which had chances having ve drives in
Iowa States territory in the rst half. The defense, which played in what looked like frozen tundra, didnt have
that extra step, getting burned on a several passes, including Ben Heeney on a 58-yard touchdown pass.
DEFENSE: F-
This is up there with Kansas worst defensive performance of the year. Kansas allowed 34 points, the second
most Iowa State has scored in a game this season. It was an especially embarrassing performance for the
Jayhawks considering how the defense has developed a reputation as somewhat of a strength for Kansas.
Kansas gave up 300 yards passing to a backup quarterback that went 15 for 20. Yikes.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C
From the way the rest of the Jayhawks units were playing, it really didnt matter how well this unit performed.
Not any spectacular kick returning, but they kept Iowa State to -1 yards gained on punt returns. But in all
actuality, special teams cant upend a performance like this from the rest of the Kansas team.
COACHING: F
It is almost bafing how Kansas gets blanked against the worst team in the Big 12. There was a clear lack
of preparation on the Kansas side of the eld and it led to quite an ugly result. That lack of preparation now
leaves Kansas right where it was before its win over West Virginia: in the dumps.
OFFENSE: F-
Is that a possible grade? Because the Jayhawks deserved it. Against the seventh worst rushing team in all of
college football, Kansas was blanked big fat zero. Kansas gained only 187 rushing yards against the same
Iowa State team that gave up more than 400 yards on the ground to Oklahoma just a week before. Not to
mention there was a resurgence of quarterback changes. Michael Cummings even played in the game. Iowa
State had given up over 20 points to every opponent it had played this season before Kansas. Kansas was
and should be embarrassed after this performance.

Thats not fog, it is the players breath. In the coldest game this season for the Jayhawks, both the offense and defense failed to
perform, and Kansas lost 34-0 to the Iowa State Cyclones in Ames, Iowa.

GOOD, BAD OR PLAIN STUPID
Freshman football players can tend to make mistakes, but when its a quarterback, problems can tend to get
magnied, fair or unfair. Kansas had a third-and-10 inside Iowa States territory and were pushing to get the
red zone. Cozart tucked the ball and dashed toward the sidelines and as he was close to the rst down and
had the angle, he stepped out of bounds, one yard short. The next play, Weis decided to go for it and James
Sims was stuffed short and the drive was over.
VERDICT: JUST PLAIN STUPID
DELAY OF GAME
Early in the third quarter, Montell Cozart had a wide-open Jimmay Mundine and all Cozart had to do was ease
it right to him, but instead misred. The ball ew way over Mundines head and was nowhere near catchable.
Cozart had some highlights, but they certainly didnt overshadow the lowlights.
GAMEBALL
James Sims rushed for 114 yards, most of them coming in the rst half when the Jayhawks successfully
moved the ball. Sims is the rst Kansas player to rush for 1,000 yard in back-to-back seasons. Sims was the
only hope for the Kansas offense, as the eld was like a mineeld, allowing for few cutbacks. The senior did
about all he could and has one nal game left until his college career is over.
FINAL THOUGHT
This was about as embarrassing of a loss as a program thats trying to turn the corner could have. Not only
did Kansas get blown out, but it just didnt seem to have the effort as was evident with the rampant amount
of drops later in the game. Luckily for Kansas, it can redeem itself with a win over Kansas State this weekend,
but the stakes are higher than ever to get this program lifted from the bottom.
LOOKING AHEAD
As far Charlie Weis signature wins at Kansas go, there probably hasnt been one, but this week provides
a great opportunity. Weis is in dire need of a win against Kansas State this Saturday. Winning would be an
encouraging sign, but losing would just churn the skepticism to another level heading into next year.
STAT OF THE DAY
219 yards gained by James Sims on Saturday. It was a career day for Sims, and with his career clock at
Kansas ticking down, it was an unforgettable performance.

IOWA STATE 34
EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN
Iowa State wide reciever Justin Coleman runs past Kansas defenders Saturday night. Iowa State threw the ball for 300 yards.
Te temperature was eight
degrees in Ames, Iowa., at the
kickof of Kansas 34-0 loss to
Iowa State, and ice seemed to play
a factor.
During the game it dropped as
low as 4 degrees. Before the game,
several Kansas players ran shirt-
less on the feld. But the Jayhawks
didnt handle the conditions as
confdently during the game.
You know, really it wasnt that
bad out there as far as tempera-
ture, Weis said. I mean it was
cold, but there was no wind. I
really didnt feel like the weather
itself was a factor.
On a play in the second quarter,
Iowa State quarterback Grant Ro-
hach was nearly within reach of
sophomore linebacker Jake Love
for a sack, until Rohach made
a move up feld to his right and
Love went sliding passed him on
the icy feld.
Rohach launched a 58-yard
touchdown pass to running back
Aaron Wimberly.
Afer the game Charlie Weis said
he didnt believe the feld was a
factor on that specifc play, but
said he wouldnt know for sure
until he watched the game on
tape.
It certainly wasnt the only play
that showed how slick the feld at
Jack Trice Stadium was Saturday
night.
I think that they did a much
better job of handling the feld
than we did, obviously, Weis said
afer the game. I felt like the feld
was a factor, but both teams are
playing on the same feld.
Both teams were playing on the
same feld, but the advantage Iowa
State had may have had some-
thing to do with the cleats they
were wearing.
I just think that their cleats
were a little bit more suitable for
the feld and the conditions, ju-
nior cornerback Jacorey Shepherd
said when asked why the Iowa
State players didnt seem to be
slipping on the feld as much.
Shepherd said it looked like a
lot of the players for Iowa State
had metal screw-in cleats on
their shoes, while the Kansas
players used the same cleats they
normally do.
Te feld conditions afected
Shepherd as much as anybody, as
he spent most of his time on the
worst parts of it as a cornerback.
Outside of the numbers it was
a lot more frozen, Shepherd
said. It was a lot more difcult
to come out of breaks. Really, for
me it was difcult to do just about
anything. If you didnt get your
feet wide enough then you were
going to end up slipping. Playing
corner, Im always on the num-
bers and out, so I was pretty much
on the frozen part of the feld the
whole game.
On ofense, the Jayhawks had
success running the ball with
senior James Sims inside, where
the feld wasnt so slick, but that
was in the frst half when score
was still just 10-0.
As Iowa State continued to
score, Kansas threw more passes,
and eventually Weis was forced
to bring junior quarterback Jake
Heaps in for freshman Montell
Cozart, as Cozart struggled to run
to the outside edge of the feld
and with accuracy.
Iowa State was more prepared
for the conditions than the Kan-
sas. Te feld wasnt an excuse for
losing, but it was a factor.
Its unfortunate, Weis said,
but you cant make it an excuse
because both teams were playing
on the same feld.

Sporting KC defeats Dynamo, advances to MLS Cup nal
BEN FELDERSTEIN
bfelderstein@kansan.com
Sporting Park will become the
frst stadium ever to host the MLS
All-Star Game, the U.S. Mens
National Team and the MLS cup
all in the same calendar year. Tis
was made possible by Sportings 2-1
victory over the Houston Dynamo
in Saturdays Eastern Conference
fnals matchup. Sporting won both
the match and the series aggregate
2-1. Sporting Park will host the
MLS Cup on Dec. 7.
Sporting Kansas City and the
Houston Dynamo went into Satur-
days matchup with the aggregate
tied at 0-0. Tis put Sporting in a
great position, only needing a one-
goal victory at home in Sporting
Park.
It wasnt an easy game to play in,
and we got a result, head coach
Peter Vermes said on the previous
matchup. Now, it doesnt mean
anything. Now, its just a fnal at
home.
Te Dynamo got of to a quick
start with a goal in the third minute
from midfelder Oscar Garca.
Garca took the pass from midfeld-
er Brad Davis and caught Sporting
goalie Jimmy Nielsen of guard.
Sporting was able to get their
equalizer in the 14th minute.
Forward C.J. Sapong was able to
fnish strong on a defection of the
Dynamo goalkeeper.
Sporting is undefeated this season
when Sapong scores. When Vermes
was asked about that statistic, he
said, I hadnt heard that stat before.
Im going to make sure to tell C.J. to
score [in the MLS Cup fnal] then.
In the 37th minute, Houstons
Garca received the frst yellow card
of the game for a hard challenge
on Kansas Citys defender Seth
Sinovic.
Te frst half ended with the score
tied at one goal apiece. Sporting led
possession 57 percent to 43 per-
cent. Kansas City was able to put
up seven shots on goal compared to
Houstons fve.
Both teams entered the second
half seeking that elusive go-
ahead score. Houston forward
Cam Weaver neutralized one of
Sportings strengths, which is balls
in the air. Weaver matched Kansas
Citys defender Aurelien Collin on
every opportunity. Te teams went
back and forth without any serious
scoring opportunities for the frst
15 minutes of the half.
Sporting broke through in the
63rd minute on a beautifully as-
sisted goal from midfelder Benny
Feilhaber to forward Dom Dwyer.
Dwyer was able to take the pass,
shake a defender and score.
Benny just chipped the ball
through, Dwyer said. I switched
from my right foot to lef and calm-
ly fnished.
Sporting quickly shifed to a
defensive mindset knowing that all
it had to do was pitch a shutout the
rest of the way to advance to the
MLS Cup.
Nielsen was able to make a terrifc
diving save in the 80th minute to
keep Sporting ahead. In the 83rd
minute, Feilhaber was subbed out
for defender Ike Opara. Opara
made his presence known quickly,
clearing the ball out of the box on
the very next Dynamo possession.
Defender Eric Brunner was given
Houstons second yellow card in
the 85th.
Sporting spent the last few min-
utes killing the clock and Dynamo
possessions. Nielsen sent the fnal
goal kick of the game across mid-
feld as the referee blew the fnal
whistle.
Te defense was as sharp as it had
been all year. In the end, Sporting
was able to defeat its rivals from
Houston. It was fnally Kansas
Citys turn to send the Dynamo
home early.
Houstons been a thorn in our
side, Vermes said. It seems like
everything between us two comes
down to not even a battle anymore.
Its a war, and we got the better of
them this time.
