DURABILITY OR BUST: ENGINEERS STUDY HOW TO IMPROVE HIGH-

SPEED RAIL TIES AGAINST FREEZ-ING, THAWING

CONDITIONS

MANHATTAN -- A Kansas State University-led research project is helping high-speed rail systems handle the stress of freezing and thawing weather conditions.

The university's Kyle Riding, assistant professor of civil engineering, is leading a three-year study that looks at the freeze-thaw durability of concrete railroad ties. The research is essential to developing safe and durable high-speed rail systems.

Riding is collaborating with Mohammed Al-bahttiti, civil engineering doctoral candidate from the United Arab Emirates; the univer-sity's Institute of Environmental Research; as well as a colleague at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and commer-cial partners Canadian National Railroad and CXT Concrete Ties Inc. The Federal Railroad Association recently awarded Riding more than $1.2 million to study the materials and fabrication process, and to develop quality control tests that ensure safe freeze-thaw durable concrete railroad ties.

"Freeze-thaw is a stressor that happens in pretty much all concrete when it is exposed to water and then freezing and thawing tem-peratures," Riding said.

When water freezes it grows in size by roughly 9 percent, Riding said. These in-creases, coupled with the decreases when the ice melts, cause stress on the container the ice forms in. When too much stress occurs the container can break -- similar to what happens when a full soda bottle is left in the freezer.

In concrete rail ties water collects and freezes in the pores of the concrete. As

the liquid freezes it creates stress in the railroad tie, which can crack the ties. High-speed rail systems are more sensitive to these

problems because of the high speed at which the trains travel on the tracks.

As high-speed rail systems become more widely adopted around the world, it becomes essential to keep passengers safe and main-tain the rail system infrastructure against freezing and thawing conditions, Riding said.

To study the freeze-thaw conditions in concrete rail ties, researchers will add sur-factants to the concrete as it is being mixed in the laboratory. These compounds pro-duce millions of microscopic bubbles in the concrete that act as pressure release valves to help protect the concrete against damage.

One of the challenges will be to ensure that the bubbles are evenly dispersed through the concrete rail ties and small enough to protect the concrete from damage.

Researchers will evaluate the vibration condi-tions and air voids created by the bubbles in rail ties produced from various other materials, including surrogate clear materi-als, cement paste and mortars before scaling up to concrete. The ties will also be studied to determine if they get wet enough on the tracks to cause damage.

Additionally, the team is developing evalu-ation methods that will help railroad tie manufacturers determine the freeze-thaw resistance of concrete rail ties once they are produced.

"This is a good way to take fundamental sci-ence and apply it to a real-world application that will affect our transportation infrastruc-ture and our communities," Riding said. "Plus, who doesn't like trains?"

WAMEGO CITY HOSPITAL RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY AS THE BEST PLACE TO WORK IN HEALTH-

CARE WAMEGO, Kan. (Oct. 29, 2012) – According to Modern Healthcare Magazine, Wamego City Hospital is the best place work in healthcare in the U.S. The nationwide 100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare awards program recognizes employers for creat-ing workplaces in healthcare that enable employees to perform at their optimum level to provide patients and customers with the best possible patient care and services. This 18-bed, 82-employee hospital also was the highest-ranked company in the small employer category. The organizations, which made the list had to not only show that they are financially fit organizations, but also that they have positive leadership that empowers their employees to succeed.

Assessment FactorsThis year’s recognition program had 340 ap-plications from healthcare companies across the nation. So what factors were assessed be-fore naming Wamego City Hospital the Best Place to Work in Healthcare for 2012? Not only does the hospital offer fitness opportuni-ties, leadership development classes, employ-ee recognition programs and fun celebrations such as a hospital Olympics, but they also

ranked highly within each assessment cat-egory. Wamego City Hospital was reviewed based on the following: work environment, overall employee engagement, role satisfac-tion, relationship with supervisor, corporate culture and communication, leadership and planning, pay and benefits, and training and development. Measureable factors included: annual salary, annual training hours, internal hires, orientation hours, paid holidays, paid time off and voluntary turnover. Shannan Flach, CEO, Wamego City Hospital states, “We are a tight-knit family that puts values first. We work hard and have a lot of high expectations, but we also enjoy rewarding that hard work. It was the greatest honor to walk on stage and accept the award on behalf of the dedicated and compassionate staff that works at Wamego City Hospital.”

What Employees Enjoy MostThe ranking results, based on survey analy-sis, highlighted what employees love most about Wamego City Hospital. At Wamego City Hospital, employees have the opportu-nity to partake in unique celebratory events, receive emergency benefits, and are encour-aged to support community initiatives. What employees love most are the annual employ-ee parties (e.g. spring fling, family picnics, and potluck dinners), birthday lunches with the CEO, anniversary gifts and certificates, the employee emergency fund, paid time off to volunteer in the community and free tickets to attend plays at the local theater. "I always tell people that it's a fun place to work," says Angie Barber, performance im-provement manager. "We work hard, but we play hard. We have a lot of expectations, we have a lot of personal accountability-but we reward that accountability." What does this mean for the future of Kansas

healthcare?“Being named to Modern Healthcare’s list of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2012 demonstrates that Wamego City Hospital has built a culture where employees are supported and engaged, which benefits not only patients and customers but the em-ployer’s financial performance as well, ” said Fawn Lopez, vice president and publisher of Modern Healthcare. Lopez continues, "These healthcare employers are models for others who are seeking to build a successful culture, resulting in optimum performance levels and benefits for their organization.” For Kansas, this means that the future of rural healthcare is bright. Flach states, "At Wamego City Hospital, we are determined to provide residents the health services they

need locally, so they don't have to commute far distances to seek healthcare elsewhere. In addition, we hope that our ability to create a positive professional atmosphere and our willingness to reward hard work will con-tinue to attract talented physicians, nurses and area specialists to join our team or trust sending their patients our way."

About the Award ProgramModern Healthcare partnered with Best Companies Group, a PA-based firm that ad-ministers “best places to work” programs na-tionwide. Modern Healthcare conducted this program to recognize outstanding employers in the healthcare industry on a national level. From economic development to employee retention, being named one of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare benefits individuals, organizations and the healthcare industry. The program collected information from both the employers and employees and was open to all healthcare companies in the United States with at least 25 employees. The Best Places to Work in Healthcare award has four main categories: All Participating Companies – A comprehensive ranking of all winning organizations; Small Companies – Honors organizations with 25-99 employees; Medium Companies – Honors organizations with 100-999 employees; Large Companies – Honors organizations with 1,000 or more employees. Modern Healthcare revealed the ranked order of 100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2012 at a recent banquet in Nashville.

About Modern HealthcareModern Healthcare is the industry’s most trusted, credible and relied-upon news source. Modern Healthcare examines the most pressing healthcare issues and provides executives with the information they need to make the most informed business decisions and lead their organizations to success. It’s for this reason Modern Healthcare is deemed a “must-read publication” by the who’s who in healthcare.

“My friend Rita has a theory. When a woman says she wants new shoes, she really means she wants a new job. When she says she wants a new house, she really means she wants a new husband, and when she says she wants a new car, she really means she wants a new life.”

Becky Foster wants a new life. Work-ing as an office manager for a mega-sized car dealership, the wife of a roofer for almost thirty years, and the mother of a post-pubescent gradu-ate student who is still living in her basement, is enough to make anyone want a new life. When a good-looking stranger enters her office after hours and expresses a flattering interest in her, Becky’s life is turned upside down.

When director Kim Riley saw Becky’s New Car performed for the first time, he knew that this was a show for the Manhattan Arts Center. “I went down to Wichita to see the show a friend I used to work with was in and it was Becky’s New Car. I just thought that it was such a fun show I had a ball with it and I could just see it better in the space we have here than the place it was performed in Wichita. We have a better capacity for it.” Riley said that because the show was so interactive and draws the audience into Becky’s world that the Black Box setup of the Manhattan Arts Center was the perfect choice for performances.

“The first thing this play does is make you feel like you know Becky and that she’s your friend. Then you become

more involved in her story whether you approve or not, you’re still wanting ev-erything to pull out for her alright. It gets hectic for her and it’s just fun to watch.”

After arriving on the set and seeing the cast move in the space, I definitely agree. Half the time, the audience feels they are sitting in the living room with Becky as she talk with them like a trusted confidant about what is going on in her life and you are so close to her that you feel the anxiety and joy of her situations right along with her. This is definitely by design as well as the minimalist nature of the set.

Riley has seen several productions of Becky’s New Car and in other perfor-mances, the sets had been full of realistic

furniture, lamps that turned on and off, etc.

“We tossed a lot of that because I just thought it got in their way. I kept seeing the actors have to move for it and adjust for where one piece was over and over. The performance also calls for four dis-tinct play areas (Becky’s living room, her office, the balcony of a rich man’s home, and in Becky’s car). So you’re into shared space no matter what you do. Instead of fighting that, we decided to expand what was shared space. We have a designated area to begin in and then it expands into shared space.” This approach works to tremendous effect giving the actors miles of freedom to express their characters and interact without being hampered by

the space. You might think this could be confusing to the audience but the lighting for the show is so well done, that it frames each area and moves the audience’s at-tention with the actors, keeping the focus of the performance on what’s happening rather than a boxed in area of the stage.

The cast comes from a variety of back-grounds making an eclectic mix that re-ally bring together the varied personalities and depth of character needed to make this bold and interactive show to life. There were some challenges for the cast.

“We have a 27 year old playing a 47 year old,” Riley said, “it was difficult to find people in the right age range to audi-tion for the show.” In the end, Riley cast

simply outstand-ing actors and actresses who simply became the role they needed to fill.

“The ultimate goal of any actor is to completely lose themselves in their role, to disappear into it and become the character they’re portraying.” Riley said.

This is some-thing the cast for Becky’s New Car has definitely done. It was even

odd for me to interact with them after the show because I was so involved with the performance that I half expected there to be hostility and tension between several of the actors because their characters had been in conflict during the show.

This was Riley’s goal in directing; to make the audience so involved with the charac-ters and the story that they forget they’re watching a play and feel like they’re in someone’s life. The actors own their char-acters and their performance so much and are so open in sharing it with the audience that the audience feels like they own it too.

“If they (the actors) own the show and the audience owns it,” Riley said with a final smile, “you can take me off the program because I will have successfully disap-peared behind it.”.

Becky’s New Car opens this weekend on November 2nd with performances on Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2pm and closes next weekend with performances on Thursday through Saturday at 7:30pm and a final matinee on Sunday at 2pm.

This is definitely not a ride you want to miss.

True Nature:Where Fangs meet Flesh

This summer, like many breezy nights, I was tearing through the woodpile in my backyard. Throwing a change of pace from the previous heat, that night was cool, and the grass was damp from much-needed rain that fell earlier that day. And, living miles from town, I keep fire fuel on hand for whenever the need for a cozy atmosphere should arise.

My woodpile remained mostly dry thanks to a tarp covering the stack, but, starting the fire from scratch, I still needed flammable kindling. Looking back, digging into the bottom of a wood stack with bare hands at night probably was not a clever undertaking … and I found out why. Almost instantly I felt a sharp bite on my right thumb. I jerked back and cursed under my breath, real-izing the mistake I’d made. (After all, after giving tens of talks on the dangers

of native creatures, you’d think I would have known better.)

The wound was bleeding immediately, proving to be a considerable bite. A bite that could have only come from a rat or a snake. (Ask me in person for the lengthy, biologist version as to why.) The latter was a truth that I feared because if it was a snakebite, it was likely from a venomous one.

The wound started pulsing and swell-ing within the first minute. Luckily I was not alone, and told my friends of the situation. Next my quick-thinking cronies grabbed flashlights and went to identify the species – an important piece of information for the hospital,

which has to adminis-ter the correct type of antivenin (AKA anti-venom).

Within 10 minutes my thumb had swol-len considerably and I was light headed as my body reacted to the foreign substance in my blood stream. Feel-ing faint, I began tak-ing deep, slow breaths and was whisked to the car. Later, I was told that my skin had turned pale, my reac-tion time was slow, if not incoherent, and going to the hospital was not my ideal plan of action.

Even with the venom taking its course, some part of me thought the snake had barely nipped me or possibly

given me a dry bite – I thought I’d be fine after 30 minutes and another beer. But my friends made the right call and took me to get medical help, which is the first line of action for any possible venomous snakebite. These bites can be deadly – not usually, but it is a possibil-ity.

The ER visit led to a frustrating, near three-day stay at the hospital. I was given three doses of the CroFab anti-venom as my thumb, hand, and arm continued to swell, throb, and ache. My vitals were also monitored closely for any dangerous reactions to the anti-venom, which I was told could be even more dangerous than the bite itself.

Another of my main hospital require-ments was receiving pain medication; the bite hurt constantly. For sev-eral days my hand throbbed like I had smashed it with a hammer, and there was often a sudden blood rush to areas that had fallen asleep. Pins and needles and discomfort.

However, it wasn’t the worst thing I have ever experienced, and I never feared for much more than an inconve-nience, used sick leave, and an expen-sive hospital stay.

As for the snake, it was identified as a copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix). A full-grown adult, it was reacting defen-sively to my pillaging in its hunting ter-ritory. While venomous snakes have no intention of using their venom on much

larger creatures (in general, as venom works to immobilize prey so snakes don’t have to fight or race), this one was probably caught off guard when hunting for mice. I simply popped into its heat signature and reached toward it; wrong place, wrong time. In fact, producing more venom is an energy expensive task that can takedays, affecting a snake’s ability to hunt and eat.

Another important factor to note is that I was lucky the snake was an adult; juvenile snakes can be more danger-ous due to their inability to control the amount of venom used in each bite. I also was only punctured by one fang, which resulted in a partial dose.

Copperheads, one of Kansas’s most populous venomous snakes, are native to the Flint Hills. The plentiful native stone mixed with hardwood timber is perfect habitat for the species, and serve an important role in controlling small mammal populations by preying on rodents. I was angry at the snake at first, but that emotion has passed; I would react the same if I was in such an unlikely situation as my reptilian friend. Instead of choosing fear, I wish to respect these snakes and will defi-nitely think twice before rummaging through their possible dwelling at night. Nature is not tame and we shouldn’t expect it to be. The few dangers we still face add an uncertainty and beauty to the land around us.

Agkistrodon contortrix AKA Bitey McGee.

While usually not lethal, all snake bites should be treated immediately

FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY the legendary late night live theatre spectacular returns home to the The Purple Masque Theatre. Come join us. Make some noise. Help us revive this beloved KSU Theatre tradition- and all for a great cause.

Recently, Erin Hartnett- a member of our KSU Theatre family- was diagnosed with Borreliosis. This bacterial infection of the brain has since spread to her heart, ovaries, liver and muscle tissue. Each day is a struggle with constant, excruciating pain. Rising health care costs, issues with insurance and the inability to function enough to hold down a job have made it nearly impossible for her to sustain the $2000 a month cost for her health care alone.

We can’t think of a better way to raise money and awareness for Erin’s condition than by coming together once again (as we did so many times before) over Midnite Madness.

THIS WEEK IN MHK...

Ongoing AttractionsMonday Through Friday9AM-5PM

Weekend Hours May Vary

AnimaliaStrecker-Nelson GalleryAn exhibit of paintings and sculpture which looks at the animalistic nature in us all. The exhibit features paintings by Aaron Morgan Brown and Ann Piper. Sculptures by Connie Ernatt and many more to dazzle your senses.

Goodnight Moon: Selections from the Permanent Collection Marianna Kistler Beach Museum Of ArtFrom starlit staircases and moon glow to glowing sparklers and carnival lights, this exhibition explores the many facets of night. The exhibition topic was chosen to compliment “Dream Big,” the theme for the Kansas Library Association summer reading program. The selections include idyllic moonlit scenes by beloved Kansas artists Birger Sandzen and John Steuart Curry and more conceptual pieces like Jeff Mongrain’s “An Evening’s Breath,” a clay pillow which holds exactly the amount of moisture exhaled during a night’s sleep. Contemporary images of night include views of porches, airports and highways lit by lights.

Wrap It Up 2012: Art Exhibit and Sale Manhattan Arts CenterWrap It Up includes dozens of participat-ing artists; most arefrom the Manhattan area, with several coming from various locations all over the Midwest. Wrap It Up features work ranging from masks, jewelry glass, silver, beaded, stained glass, prints, watercolors and drawings, to knitted items, functional pottery, ceramic sculp-ture, baskets, scarves, glass, photographs, turned wooden sculpture, bowls, tiles, and more. All of the artwork is for sale. The exhibit showcases high quality, affordable art for the gift-giving season under $500 price range.

FORCES: The Shaping of Man-hattan, Fort Riley and Kansas State University Flint Hills Discovery CenterThis exhibit is a partnership between the Riley County Historical Museum; the U.S. Cavalry Museum, Fort Riley; Conserva-tion and Restoration Branch, Fort Riley; the Costume and Textile Museum, KSU; and the KSU archives. The exhibit explores the period between 1853 and 1914: our pioneer beginnings, the transition to building a community, and growth into the 20th century.

Inadvertent Arson: Paintings and Drawings by Patrick Duegaw Beach Museum of ArtPatrick Duegaw, K-State alumnus and founding member of Wichita’s Fisch Haus artist cooperative, presents the latest installment of his ongoing “Painted Theater Project.” Conceived as a theatrical performance, Duegaw’s “Inadvertent Ar-son” incorporates painted portraits, props, and sets as surrogates for living actors, three-dimensional objects, and a stage. Action is implied instead of performed, and a dialogue appears in the form of artist-generated text that accompanies each portrait.

How much do I love being a Wild-cat?! Number two in the nation!! It seems we have some more celebrat-ing to do!

To start us off, So Long Saloon & Taco Lucha are hosting their first ever Dia de los Muertos party on October 31st & November 1st. The places have been spiffed up with a dose of color from south of the bor-der, and you can find great food and

drink specials both days!

Firkin Friday’s @ Auntie Mae’s!Unique Beers So Good They Make Normal Beers Run Home and Cry To MommaBy Jimbo IvyTallgrass Brewery has been upping the ante on craft beers in Manhattan since they dashed onto the scene in 2003. Their spirit, humor, and beer-craft-iness is nowhere better represented than in their Firkin Friday events, which occur all over the state, but in Manhattan happen every first Friday at Auntie Mae’s Parlor.

What’s a Firkin, you say? A firkin is a special hand-tapped keg that in Tall-grass’s instances are variants of their mainline beers, usually with crazy add-ins and aged to perfection under the careful eyes of TG’s master brew-ers. We’ve had everything from cocoa to crazy hops from far-flung corners in our Firkins, but the favorites always seem to be the sweet varietals usually paired with the Buffalo Sweat Stout.

This week’s Firkin we have named ChoVa Swirl, as it’s Buffalo Sweat Stout with Chocolate and Vanilla add-ed in. The tappings occur with much ceremony (and sometimes a spray of beer) at 7pm and the keg is usually dry by 7:45pm. That’s how good they are. Auntie Mae’s is usually near capacity downstairs as thirsty beer aficionados

line up to get their pint of the good stuff. Tallgrass staff are on hand, giv-ing out promos and answering questions from the fans and a lovely time is had by all.

Get your pint of the Firkin this Friday and as we said, get there early or you may end up licking the stoppers instead of savoring the fine Tallgrass uniqueness that is our monthly Firkin.

Tallgrass Firkin Fridays happen

every first Friday at Auntie Mae’s Parlor, 616 N. 12th Street in

Aggieville.

Aggie Station

Kyle Park will take the stage Thursday November 1st at Aggie Station, 1115 Moro, Manhattan KS at 10:30pm. Advance tickets are $10 and $12 day of show. Park’s originals are built on smart, soulful and personal lyrics and a melodic style that features fresh, powerful lead guitar. “... There’s a me-lodic thrust to Park’s songs, delivered with a twang often lacking in others of the so-called ‘Red Dirt’ country scene of Texas and Oklahoma. ...” says the Austin American-Statesman.

MAW11/6/12

9pmAuntie Mae’s Parlor

The old-timey band from Lawrence, KS, singing songs of murder, mules, mining, morphine, mayhem, menno-

nites, pirates, and chewing gum.Biography

MAW began as 3 of the wives, (Katie, Julie and Jeanie) of The Midday Ram-

blers getting together to make their own music and quickly added their 2 long-time friends Kit and Tracy. They took the stage for the first time in late 2006 and have been playing shows all over the Midwest ever since. Whether they are playing at a big party, a bar

or a festival, it is clear that these women really have fun playing music

together!

Shawn Bruce and The Horsebite Tears11/9/12

9pmAuntie Mae’s Parlor

With a name taken from the embar-rassing effects of an old childhood

prank, the Horsebite Tears began as an acoustic trio, playing their Win-

field campfire classics of old. Like old country music itself, electricity and

drums crept into the Horsebite Tears sound, now dubbed “Twango” music.

With three-fourths of the 80’s rock group Xenon now on board, the HBT

set out to bring any music suitable for the “Twango” label to the public. Charlie Daniels and Lionel Ritchie

rub shoulders under this banner, as do Buck Owens and the Goose Creek

Symphony.

D.L. Marble11/14/12

10pmPat’s Blue Rib’n

D.L. Marble Americana/Roots/Red Dirt singer with a Rock and Roll Soul, D.L. is truly a working man who has lived, loved, lost and found, D.L. Marble is a true artist, singer, songwriter and poet. His lyrics tell stories of comedy, tragedy, and everything in between without losing the ability to laugh at himself.

Together with his band, The Amazing Hip-pies, a soulful voice has emerged which reaches across genres, demographics, and generations, artfully flipping the switch between twangy modern roots rock ‘n roll and folksy country ballads... leaving audi-ences buzzing and blown away.

Big XII Preview:Week 10

Chris hancockAnother week, another K-State victory. However, OU losing puts a serious damper on the Big XII on the whole. Their loss to a strong, non-conference op-ponent makes the entire Big XII seem a little weaker, thus weakening the national perspective of the confer-ence. Now, to determine the games:

OSU(5-2) @ KSU(8-0) – Another week, another likely KSU victory. The faith in their ability to win grows stronger by the week, and the pres-sure mounts every week. The benefit of this week’s game is that this is

the last team with only one conference loss left in the league. A KSU victory in this game would give the ‘Cats essentially a two game advantage with three games to play. This game could be the one to essentially seal the conference title, and I can’t see K-State faltering on that opportunity. Final Score – KSU wins 45-34 Texas(6-2) @ Texas Tech(6-2) – The likely game of the week in the Big XII features two teams with a slim chance at the conference title fighting to remain alive another week. Texas Tech faltered last year after a bad loss and just suffered one last week at the hands of KSU. Texas was appearing to get stronger until they almost lost to a vastly inferior KU team last week. The question of this game is who bounces back better from embarrassment. I feel Texas Tech is better equipped this year than last year. Final Score – Texas Tech wins 34-28

TCU(5-3) @ WVU (5-2) – After a week away and a week further removed from the KSU loss, I believe WVU will begin to rebuild to make a statement in the second half of the season. I believe that Geno Smith can

make a statement against a TCU team that got embar-rassed by OSU last week and appears to be on the downturn and in over their head in their new confer-ence. Final Score – WVU wins 45-21

OU(5-2) @ ISU(5-3) – While the records may indicate this could be close game, further examination will tell you that OU’s two losses were to top 5 opponents, while only one of ISU’s was. That being said, the psychological dam-age that was done by Notre Dame may be difficult to overcome by an OU team facing a confident ISU team looking for bowl eligibility. However, OU is much more physically talented and looking to take out some aggravation on someone, and ISU is next in line. Final Score – OU wins 35-21

KU(1-7) @ Baylor(3-4) – This battle between the last two teams without a Big XII victory still seems like a mismatch, as Baylor’s offense has shown signs of hope this season but doesn’t seem capable of overcoming it’s defensive shortcomings. KU, how-

ever, seemed lifeless most of the year but shows signs of life against Texas last week. That said, I still believe Baylor has more talent top to bottom and will leave KU as the last team without a Big XII victory. Final Score – Baylor wins 44-35

Another Big XII week brings us closer to a settled sea-son, but the madness shall continue at least one more

week in the muddled middle.

Last week’s record – 3-2Season Record – 10-5

Yay! Sportsball!Yea, that’s what happens when you quit for a few weeks, george, you lose your custom graphics. :P

*insert apology for not writing an article for the past couple of weeks here*

Boy, it’s been a while, let’s see if I can remember how to do this whole sports writing thing. Now if I were a real sports writer, then I would be writing about the World Series, but as you all know, I don’t care for baseball. I could write about the Big 12 and Kansas State’s to date unde-feated season, but we have another writer who is covering all of that. I could write about the NFL, but the closest team is the Chiefs, and well, there’s not much to write about there. So I will fall back on what has been bizarrely fascinating me for the past couple of months, Lance Armstrong’s fall from grace in the world of cycling. Oh, and basketball, cause the NBA is back and I love me some hot NBA action.

Lance Armstrong, the man who defeated cancer, and made seven

years of cycling disappear.

On Monday, the International Cycling Union (UCI) officially stripped Lance Armstrong of his record seven consecu-tive Tour de France victories. As I have discussed in previous columns, on August 24th the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made the rather bold and curious announcement that it was both banning Armstrong for life from cycling and stripping him of all his titles dating back to 1999 (including his Tour de France wins). The decision was curious in that it is the UCI, not the USADA, who has the power to award and/or strip Tour de France titles. In the weeks following the USADA’s announcement, both this writer and more importantly the UCI be-gan to lose their patience with the USADA and to question the validity of their ac-cusations.

Finally, on October 10th, the USADA released its nearly 200 page report on Armstrong’s doping activities. Whereas the report did not contain any direct evidence of Armstrong’s doping (there

were no syringes containing traces of his blood and doping agents) it did contain enough circumstantial evidence (namely sworn testi-mony from 26 people, including 11 former teammates against him) to convince the UCI to go along with the USADA’s recommenda-tion of stripping him of all his titles and banning him for life from cycling.

Less than a week after the release of the USADA’s report all of Armstrong’s endorsers (Nike, Oakley, and Anheuser-Busch just to name a few) had terminated their contracts with Armstrong.

Lance was even forced to step down as the chairman of the Livestrong charity that he created to raise money to fight cancer (I’m sure you’ve seen their yellow rubber bracelets, they were all the rage a couple of years ago). The UCI has de-cided that Armstrong’s titles will remain unclaimed, as far as they are concerned, based on the information in the USADA’s report, doping was so rampant during the years that Armstrong was winning that the entire seven year period should be stricken from the record books.

It is as though Armstrong, and all those who rode with him, never even existed.

Basketball is Back, Baby!

The 2012-13 NBA season officially starts Tuesday October 30th, and for this writer, it can’t come soon enough. My disdain for baseball is perhaps equaled only by my undying love for professional basketball (in particular the San Anto-nio Spurs). It has been a tumultuous off season, which has seen some blockbuster

trades. Dwight Howard and Steve Nash leaving Orlando and Phoenix respectively to go to the LA Lakers, Andre Iguodala leaving Philly for Denver, and Ray Allen leaving Boston for longtime rival Miami just to name a few. An entire state (New Jersey) even lost its basketball team when the Nets, moved to Brooklyn, giving that borough its first professional sports team since the Dodgers left for LA in ’57.

Just when I thought all the action had come to an end, this past Saturday, James Harden, the sparkplug that helped the Oklahoma City Thunder reach the finals last year, was traded to Houston for guards Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb and a handful of future draft picks. In short if the off season is any indication, this year’s NBA season should be excit-ing, to say the least (which I am, cause that is probably the shortest paragraph I could write concerning the off season and upcoming NBA season, but I am running out of room in this article).

Go Spurs Go!

“Please Kansas State in Title game”aka a response to the miami herald’s embarrasing whine-fest titled “Please no Kansas state in the tile game”

An article was written by Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald entitled “Please No Kansas State in Title Game” on Thursday, October 25th that has elicited a negative response from some of the Kansas State University Wildcat faithful. In the article, Mr. Good-man implies that the Kansas State University Football team being in the national title game would be negative for a multitude of reasons, first and foremost being, in his opinion, nobody wants to see KSU there “except for maybe a few crusty sportswriters and a hand-ful of people in the Middle of Nowhere, Kan.”

This was the comment that first fired me as I am one of said “crusty sportswriters”. This is the type of national disrespect that not only fuels the underdog mentality that the Wild-cats fire burns. It also reminds us that, despite great amounts of success, the national view of this team and this region may never change in the minds of the ignorant.

Also implied in this article is that the city of Miami, host of this year’s national title game,

would not be interested in hosting Kansas State University as the Wildcats beat the University of Miami handily earlier this year. What I believe was neglected in this inference is that Kansas State University has one of the best traveling fan bases in the country, and there is no shortage of Widcat fans to fill the stadium and the city.

Beyond these points, the overrid-ing viewpoint of the article was focused on our coach and his methodical (and extremely suc-cessful) approach to football. Ac-cording to Mr. Goodman, Bill Snyder is not only “cadaverous” but the style of football played by schools such as Kansas State University and Alabama is a reflection of their coaches “thorny disposi-tions”. I find this comment to be particularly irritating as Bill Snyder is not only regarded as one of the most accommodating individu-als in college football, but honestly a patri-arch to our region and has never been known to speak ill of anyone, yet is suddenly accused

of having a “thorny disposition” by the Miami Herald.

In my opinion, if the idea of an Alabama-KSU national title game does not interest you, then you are hardly even a college football fan. If flashy is what you want, and the most efficient offense in the college game can’t do it for you (according to the UPS offensive efficiency index), then I’m not sure what it is that would interest you. I also am bothered by the fact that many football fans, as is suggested, are not interested in watching two defense-first teams compete, whereas I believe it would be

wonderful both for the fans and the games.

I acknowledge that everybody is entitled to their opinion on personalities and prefer-ences, but I would not be so proud to say that they are the views of America, nor speak poorly of some of the nicest people in the field, such as Snyder, or people doing their job to the best of their abilities, such as us “Crusty Sportswriters in Middle of Nowhere, Kan.”

After Creation, Before EvolutionCan flaming bushes and differently-beaked finches truly co-exist?

In 1859 Charles Darwin published his then controversial book “Origin of Spe-cies”, but it would take many decades for science to develop enough to prove his theory plausible. But in the 1940’s and 1950’s evolution became accepted world wide, turning the creationist world upside down. In a nutshell, Darwin’s theory was that all manner of species descended over time from common ancestors through a natural selection process. If the climate was cold, the furriest of the species would survive and breeding would produce fur-rier offspring each generation until stay-ing warm was not an issue, if the trees were tall, the species would develop an elongated neck to reach food, and so on.

I do not claim to be a naturalist, scientist or a theologian, and I will never be one of the most influ-ential people of all of human history as Charles Darwin was, but I do like to mess with subjects or topics I have taken for granted my whole life. Just because something was taught to me by someone who had it taught to them doesn’t make it right to me.

Since early man ap-peared on earth, the need for a higher power to explain the unknown has helped mankind cope with the fears of immor-tality. I personally believe God exists, but I don’t think we have a clue as to what He’s up to or why, and we never will. So our species, with our developed brains, made up, and continue to develop as needed, our own scenarios that make sense to us, comfort

us, and allow us to accept what we can’t comprehend, and God is usually included in these scenarios.

Wrong, right, or indifferent, the doc-trine which is religion is real, and out of

religious faith comes compassion, con-science, and love, and these abilities, more so than having a couple of thumbs, keeps us ascended above our companion species on this planet. Creation occurred. We can banter back and forth for or against it all day, but for the sake of this read, let’s assume that it did.

I have no doubt either that Darwin discovered a very real evolutionary process. Somebody had to eventually figure it out, as it was a logical, natural fact waiting to be discovered. At the time Darwin published he was not the only one

to be hot on the trail of evolution, there were many experts in the mid 1800’s taking stabs at the idea. It was firmly established that for millions of years all species of life constantly evolved bigger or smaller, developed gills, lost tails, grew

wings, etc. to adapt to their en-vironment, and all left trails for science to discover eventually. But to me, something has been overlooked, and this is where I will attempt to throw a wrench into the subject of evolution versus religion, and the currently accepted principals. The evolution theory and the creation theory both seem to have an important piece of the puzzle missing, and that piece has slipped through all the great scientific minds of both yesterday and today, but not this one.

The question is “Why was evolution necessary in the first place?” If it’s not broke, why fix it? If God had the ability to create all that is, it seems like if some-thing needed altering, He’d be the one to do it. Evidently, He was happy with what He created, and when He was through, He just sat back and kicked His feet up to watch the show. After all that work a little R&R would be expected. I will attempt to introduce a theory, a notion if you will, that there is a third factor, a period of time between creation and evolution, a perfect universe that God’s hands cre-ated.

This third factor, the missing puzzle piece, exists after the initial creation, or the original Big Bang. Things were going along perfectly, according to God’s plan, and this period of time lasted for millions or billions of years, a block of time which

actually had no measur-able length,

because there was no reason

to keep track of time.

It simply ‘was’. This perfect world was not necessarily on earth as we know it. During this period, the universe was the world, and the world was the universe. But because we know evolution has hap-pened, there must have been a reason for making evolution necessary, and while my thoughts were exploring explanations, something deep in the very left rear part of my brain went ‘bit on’.

My concept is that millions or billions of years ago the original perfect species,

regardless of what they were or looked like, existed without ever being born, nor would they ever die. Creation created them, so there they were. If you never age a day in your existence, there would be no need to challenge mortality, because there would be none. With no mortality there is no reason for religion, so there was none. If you don’t die, you don’t need to evolve to a different shape or form, so there was no evolution. No species ever grew old. No species ever died. Not in this perfect world.

Then came the second Big Bang. This cosmic explosion instantly terminated all the perfect work that was so carefully hand crafted, and turned the universe inside out and sent it spiraling aimlessly out of control in and out of every dimen-sion, leaving parts of itself everywhere in its wake. When the dust finally settled, millions of years later, what remained was the infinite number of star systems and solar systems that we recognize today,

each with bits and pieces of the perfect life forms that had been vaporized into microscopic sized pieces. From these minute particles of original life enough DNA was left that in some places, where temperatures eventually became mod-erate, water was available, and oxygen became abundant, basic cell multiplica-tion occurred. This was the beginning of life on earth today, and perhaps on other planets in other solar systems. This imperfect life, with all the species that developed, would require evolution.

Physics of the universe is inherently a complicated business, and unless your name is Sheldon Cooper (Bazinga!), a subject matter that is not very compre-hensive, and perhaps even impossible for anyone to totally understand. This fact gives me the confidence to make this theory public, because most people will not read this far into this writing, and the ones that do must find it interesting to some degree and maybe even see that it is possible.

I offer no credentials to support this theo-ry, so any remote chance that is theory is true would be completely accidental and must be considered nothing more than a good guess. All I have is a cockamamie idea that maybe there was a second Big Bang. If nothing else it would make both believers of God and those who believe in evolution a chance to both be right.

Marcus Jay

Movies by Marcus Halloween classics!

Halloween

Starring: Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, and P.J. Soles

Written by: John Carpenter and Debra HillDirected by: John Carpenter

From it’s very first shot, John Carpenter’s Halloween is all about watching: we the audience watching the film, Michael My-ers watching Laurie Strode, Laurie Strode watching her friends. Watching is really the most important theme of the film, so important that it is made fully explicit late in the film when our heroine Laurie Strode is nearly killed when she stops watching Michael Myers.

This voyeuristic theme is directly influenced by John Carpenter’s love of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, an-other film that is all about watching. Carpenter was so influenced by Psycho that he named avenging angel Dr. Sam Loomis after John Gavin’s character of the same name in Psycho. However, Carpenter’s film takes all of the bottled up emotion of Hitchcock’s film and provides it with release. Michael My-ers is Norman Bates gone fully id. Whereas Norman Bates was a repressed man at odds with his evil nature, Michael Myers has no off button. Myers exists like the shark in Jaws, a force of unstoppable evil. Dr. Loomis describes him as such to a sheriff in the film, saying, “I met this six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes, the devil’s eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy’s eyes was purely and simply…evil.”

Dr. Loomis is no moral relativist, parent-blaming psychiatrist. Realizing that Michael Myers is evil incarnate, Loomis becomes an oppositional force. He doesn’t simply want to capture Michael and give him a shot of thorazine, he wants to send this evil creature back to the hell he came from. This is why

Loomis’ characterization in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II is so offensive. Zombie makes Loomis into a pop psychologist who is

simply trying to get on TV and sell books. Carpenter, however, sees Loomis as a moral force, a man willing to risk everything to stop evil.

The most brilliant aspect of Halloween is undoubtedly how John Carpenter shot the film. Unlike most recent horror movies in which there is no suspense and most of the “scares” come from a series of things jumping out while loud noise shrieks on the soundtrack, Halloween is restrained. Carpenter uses

minimal shots to lock us into locations and makes us look at all edges of the frame for unseen terror. To be sure, Carpenter gets his shock moments in, but even these are done subtly. One of the scariest moments in the film happens with only a static shot of Mi-chael Myers standing across the street from Laurie Strode’s house, watching Laurie and the kids she’s babysitting. Only a bare porch light illuminates Michael, but the stillness of Myers, and the shot itself, conveys all the terror we need.

By the time Laurie goes across the street to her friend Linda’s to investigate, Carpenter has ratcheted the tension so high it threat-ens to pop off the screen. And when Laurie gets to Linda’s house, all of that built up tension is released in one of the best-shot se-quences in film history. Previously, Michael

Myers has been glimpsed only briefly, and usually from obscure angles. When he begins to stalk Lau-rie through Linda’s house and across the street to her own house, Michael be-

gins to fully take shape. In the same virtuoso sequence, Laurie begins to discover the bodies of her friends. This is where Carpen-ter lets all the tension out. Bodies practically jump out of the walls and Laurie is reduced to a screaming mess. She backs slowly to-wards a wall in near total dark, and then out of the dark a shaft of light reveals the face of Michael Myers. It’s one of the biggest shock-ers in the history of film.

With Halloween, John Carpenter created one of the enduring villains in cinema. And Jamie Lee Curtis became the first Hollywood scream queen. Many would try to top her, but none ever could. Many others tried to top Halloween as well, but they misunder-stood why it was successful. It wasn’t about having a bigger or badder killer. It was about tension; the slow build-up until the rubber band snaps. That’s the essence of a great horror movie, and there’s never been a bet-ter one since.

It’s time to start scratching those beards thoughtfully and become more lackadaisical about the im-portance of replacing a dull razor because it’s almost No Shave, No Hunger time! For those of you who didn’t get to be a part of last year’s hairiest gathering since Woodstock, No Shave, No Hunger is The Hype Weekly’s November event to grow both donations and food (the former being for The Flint Hills Breadbasket and the latter being mostly for our own amusement and the amusement of others). This is why we, The Hype Weekly are calling for all manly men and womanly women to put down their razors and raise some food and money donations for the Flint Hills Breadbasket to help feed families in need during Thanksgiving.

Unlike most No Shave November events, partici-pants WILL NOT be required to shave on Novem-ber 1st. Instead, the amount of growth will be judged on a before and after basis.There will be several categories depending on what you want/can let

grow through the month of Novem-ber . There will be a Manliest Mus-tache , Grizzly Adams’ Full Face Fur, Bourgeois Beard, and for the ladies’ The Amazon Woman contest giving girls a good excuse to skip shaving their legs in November.

Each participant is to rally a “Team” to support them in this trying month of itchy suffering for a good cause. Each team member will either make a donation of $5 or 5 non-perishable food items, as a show of good faith that their sponsored participant WILL NOT SHAVE OR TRIM the categorized area they are competing in. If the participant does shave, they must match the combined donations of every team member to also be given to Flint Hills Breadbasket.

If you are inter-ested in growing some hair for a good cause, email us at [email protected] so we can all meet up on November 1st at Auntie Mae’s Parlor to take the prelimi-nary pictures and establish initial beard-ification. It’s all very scientific.

“The cASE OF THE paINTED lADY”The New Adventures of Arsene Lupin

It was not often that Madame Lenore Mc-Culli had guests frequent her beachside estate situated on the coast of Cape Elizabeth, Maine. It was a secluded plot of land surrounded by water on three sides. When her husband Arnold died a few years back, Madame Lenore McCulli took up the hobby of collecting valuable art from around the world. Her hobby gave her solace as it occupied her time when she felt lonely. The paintings that adorned her walls kept her company at meals. Her estate gave off a gloomy feeling to those looking at it from a distance. Passersby rarely saw any visitors come or go from the property, and those living in the area figured the place to be abandoned. Most of the shop-ping Madame Lenore McCulli did was through online auction sites and trading sites alike. If the curious had the opportunity to visit the estate that they would be able to take in the marvel of a mansion that resembled a museum: dark oak panels covered in French paintings artists had rendered over a century ago. Beauti-ful hand-sculpted busts and statues guarded the entryways to adjoining rooms. It was no wonder that Madame Lenore McCulli was never truly alone with history itself sur-rounding her at every turn. However, inside the hearth room of the estate was the most prized piece of her collection: Henri Matisses’ Reading Girl in White and Yellow. That is, that’s what would have been there if it had still been hanging in its frame above the stone fireplace. What Madame Lenore McCulli found in its place that Monday morning was a note pinned to the wall where the valuable piece had once called home. “Dearest Madame Lenore McCulli,Not long ago it came to my attention that you held in your possession a coveted piece of art-work known as The Reading Girl in White and Yellow. After much consideration I have arrived upon the decision that I would very much like to have such a painting for myself. I saved you the trouble of sending this piece by mail and came to collect it in person. I must apologize for the lack of notice, and I hope this has not caused you any inconvenience. Please accept this note as a token of my sincerest apologies. Thoughtfully Yours, Arsene Lupin”

Madame McCulli deposited the note upon the table and collapsed into the soft, embracing recliner where she stared into the fireplace in disbelief. “How could this be?” She thought to herself. She thought long and hard for several minutes about whether or not she had heard anything the night before. She was not by any account a heavy sleeper; surely if someone had visited during the night she would have heard them.

After much consideration, Madame Lenore McCulli placed a call to the local police and gave them her best account of what had happened. “We shall send a detective to you soon, ma’am.” The person told her. “Just try and re-main calm, and someone will be there shortly.” But how could she remain calm when someone had entered her house, taken a rather large painting out of its frame on the wall, and then left--all without making a sound? An hour or so had passed before an officer knocked on her front door. “Good morning, miss, my name is Inspec-tor Ganimard.” The man said. “The local police got your call this morning regarding a break in here. When you told them you had received a visit from Arsene Lupin, they phoned me. I am a detective with the FBI who has been on Lupin’s case for years.” Ganimard explained. “Who exactly is Arsene Lupin, Inspector?” Madame Lenore McCulli asked. “Am I in any danger?” “Rest assured, ma’am, Lupin is a burglar, and a thief, but he is not a murderer.” Ganimard said. “Now, without further delay, may we take a look at the room where this all happened?” “Yes of course, of course.” McCulli replied eagerly. They made their way into the hearth room, and Madame Lenore McCulli watched as Inspector Ganimard scoured the room for any clue he could find. As usual, however, not a trace was found. “What is it you do, Madame McCulli?” Ganimard asked. “I used to work as a psychiatrist out of my home many years back,” McCulli replied. “I have since retired from the profession.” *Beep* “Pardon me for just a moment miss,” Gani-mard said, turning his back to McCulli.He reached into his pocket and removed a cell phone. “Look Deeper” ~AL~ (Number Unknown) Ganimard sighed heavily. “I really hate it when he does this,” he thought to himself. “Madame, if you wouldn’t mind giving me a moment of privacy to look though the room,” Ganimard asked Madame McCulli “I am afraid it would be better for my concentration.” “Anything that will help you in recovering my lost painting, Inspector,” Madame McCulli replied and left the room. “What are you talking about?” Ganimard sent in reply. However, Ganimard never received a reply. As the inspector looked around the room, a thought came to him. “While she held a respect-able position in her career, how could one pos-sibly afford all of these works of art?” Ganimard thought to himself. “Especially such a well-done copy of The Reading Girl in White and Yellow.” *Beep* “New York Times, 7/15/05, P.3, last hint.” ~AL~ (Number Unknown) Ganimard quickly replaced his phone into

his pocket and exited the room. “Thank you very much, Madame McCulli. I think I have all I need for now.” Ganimard told the woman. “Thank you very much, Inspector.” She replied. Inspector Ganimard sat at his desk that afternoon researching the article from the text message he received. July, 15th 2005 We have received reports that no new progress has been made in the search for 24-year-old Ashley Delray of Portland, ME. Delray, It is confirmed that Delray was last seen jogging along the coast shortly before her disappearance.” “Now how is this connected to our missing painting?” *Beep* “How are you employed?” ~AL~ (Number Unknown) Ganimard sat in silence for a couple min-utes, leaning back in his chair with his palms covering his face. “What of value was in that house?” Gani-mard thought to himself. “And why would he point out an old article about a girl?” Ganimard sat up abruptly in his chair. “UNLESS!”Ganimard sprang to his feet, grabbed his coat and ran out the door. It was close to five o’clock when Ganimard pulled into the drive of Madame McCulli’s estate. The house looked dark and vacant. He rang the bell regardless. Ganimard stood there for a minute and rang the bell a second time. He was about to give up when he heard footsteps approaching the door. The door slowly opened and, above the chain latching it to the wall, the inspector saw a pair of eyes peer out of the darkness. “Well hello Inspector, I’m surprised to see you back so soon,” Madame McCulli stated. “Please, please, come in.” She unlatched the door, welcoming the inspector into her home.“Have you found my painting yet? Madame Mc-Culli asked. “Not yet, Ma-dame,” Ganimard replied. “There are a few questions I wanted to ask you, and if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, I would like to take a look around for clues.”“Well, it would be no trouble at all, Inspector.”Madame McCulli said. “By all means.” “Madame, you have many pieces of work in your collection,” Ganimard stated. “Are any of them painted by you?” he asked. “Well, of course,”

She replied. “Although it has been years since I painted anything.” “How long?” Ganimard asked. “Well, if I had to guess I would say six or seven years.” Madame McCulli replied. “Is it important, Inspector?” Ganimard could sense the condescend-ing tone of her voice. He paused briefly before answering. “No, of course not.” Ganimard said. “Just curious.” “Can I get you something to drink, Inspec-tor?” She asked. “ That would be fine.” Ganimard replied politely. “Mind if I have a look around?” “Go right ahead,” She insisted. “I’ll return shortly.” As Madame McCulli left for the kitchen, Ganimard made his way into the adjacent room. The library had several books lining the wall, most of them on painting and human behavior. Against the window was a wooden desk with papers strewn about, an easel, and a leather sofa. He was drawn to this room but, for his life, could not understand why. It was then that he saw it hanging perfectly upon the mantle: the painting of a young girl that he recognized instantly, Ashley Delray.

Kriminal Kakuro

Kakuro is the criminal combination of a crossword and Sudoku puzzle.

In a kakuro, the numbers are the clues. They de-note the total of the digits in the row or column

referenced by the number, and always play down or sideways. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakuro

Here’s an example of how the

arithmetic of Kakuro works in a small answer

sample.

EVIL SUDOKU

Most Sudoku is evil, but ours is really evil. Not only is it tough to figure out, but it fea-tures a different face

of evil every week.

Bear in mind, “evil” is a very subjective term and our interpreta-tion of such is only meant to entertain.
