Authorities say gunmen have killed five members of a family in a mountainous area of western Mexico. Sinaloa state prosecutors said three women, a teenage girl and a 7-year-old boy were killed when gunmen ambushed them as they were riding in a pickup truck on a dirt road in the town of El Rosario. Prosecutors said in a statement Thursday that police found 64 spent bullet casings at the scene. They said they had not captured any suspects or discovered a motive for the attack, which took place Wednesday. The western state of Sinaloa is the cradle for most of Mexicos drug lords and its mountains are known to be used for growing marijuana.

A Canadian indicted in the U.S. on charges he supplied al-Qaida with weapons in Pakistan will not be extradited to the United States after Canadas Supreme Court said it wouldnt hear the case. Abdullah Khadr had been held in Canada on a U.S. warrant after his December 2005 arrest before he was released in 2010. He was released after two provincial courts in Ontario suspended his extradition, ruling his rights were violated during his detention in Pakistan. Dennis Edney, his lawyer, said the top courts decision not to hear the Canadian governments appeal means the case is over. The Supreme Court did not give reasons why it didnt hear the case.

Kenyas military spokesman is using Twitter to warn people not to help al-Qaida-linked militants by selling them an old-world transportation tool: donkeys. Spokesman Maj. Emmanuel Chirchir is tweeting updates on Kenyas military push into Somalia to fight the al-Shabaab militants. Kenyans dealing in donkey trade along the Kenya-Somali border are advised not to sell their animals to Al Shabaab, Chirchir tweeted, adding: Selling Donkeys to Al Shabaab will undermine our efforts in Somalia. Thus, any large concentration and movement of loaded donkeys will be considered as Al Shabaab activity, Chirchir said.

Ireland announced Thursday it is closing its embassies to the Vatican and two other nations, but denied that its deteriorating relations with the Catholic Church played a role in its choice of cuts. Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore said Ireland was under grave financial pressure as it tries to slash spending in line with its international bailout last year. He said a review determined that Irelands diplomatic posts to the Vatican, Iran and Timor Leste offered the least returns in foreign investment. The government believes that Irelands interests with the Holy See can be sufficiently represented by a non-resident ambassador, Gilmore said.

barriers along K-10 after the April fatalities. Cromwell said that he commuted K-10 on a daily basis and traveled the highway as a Kansas student as well. Its a very high speed, dangerous road, Cromwell said. One of the things about K-10 is it is heavily traveled by not just commuters but students also, and thats one reason to be extra careful. Im pleased to see that theyve moved forward with those barriers I think that will help. In addition to the cable barrier project, KDOT plans to lobby the Kansas Legislature to make K-10 a safety corridor because of the high frequency of accidents. The highway safety corridor would aim to tackle reckless driving by increasing fines and police presence on the highway. Mayor Hopson said that Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, plans to work on the proposal. Edited by Lindsey Deiter

Rebekah Gates, left, with her defense attorney Amanda Eastman at the podium, presents her case to student judges. offers a unique opportunity for law students to hone their craft. Unlike moot court, where students present their cases in mock trials merely for a grade, the appellate court has the students developing cases for actual clients, with outcomes that will ultimately have real consequences. Maggie DiSilvestro, also a firstyear law student from Kansas City, Kan., acted as the prosecution on the side of the parking department. Its a little bit trickier trying to relate to The Mans position, DiSilvestro said. But I have a slight advantage in that the appellant has already been ticketed, so all I have to do is show that the regulations are just. After the prosecution and defense have argued their sides, for which they have prepared evidence in the form of statements from witnesses, photographs of parking areas and information from previous appellate court cases, the judges then deliberate and make their decisions. The judges ruled that Gates would have to pay one of the three parking citations, stating that the parking department had the right to cite her the tickets, but that out of fairness, the other two tickets

would not be enforced. I feel its reasonable that I only received one ticket for the invalid parking mistake, Gates said. Even though its just for a parking ticket, being in court and seeing the judges deliberate was still really intense. According to Donna Hultine, director of the University parking department, of the 55,183 parking citations given by the University in the last fiscal year, only 1,001 have been appealed.

The Freshman 15 could be renamed the Freshman three-or-four, according to a study by the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The data suggest that women can expect to gain three pounds their freshman year, while men tend to gain closer to four. Maddie Morgan, a freshman from
overland Park, said the Ambler Student Recreational Center environment has made it easier for her to remain fit. Its really easy, I usually come just on Tuesdays and Thursdays right after one of my classes, she said. Then I go and shower and go to my classes, so its really convenient. University nutritionist Ann Chapman suggests using online services to help with food choices in avoiding
weight gain. I think those foods are there, but I do think that you have to look for them, Chapman said. Looking ahead at an online menu which posts everything that they serve it gives a nutrition breakdown. So a student could find how many calories is in a Reuben sandwich or the spaghetti.

To the girls afraid to walk from Mrs. Es to lewis in the rain: man up. This is just the beginning. To the people who walk/run in the wrong direction on the track: you make me wish the University would increase admission requirements. remember when bleach-blond hair, orange skin and raccoon makeup was in? Neither do i. i think Santa Clause started no-shave November to start on his beard for Christmas. read the article about beards in the voice of the old Spice man. doctor visit, $60. Medicine to help loosen phlegm, $24. Watching girls faces when you hack a loogie on campus, priceless. Silly freshman, google ku bus tuition and youll find a page from the University dispelling that rumor. Go ahead and get hit if you want. i think you and your brother are the only two people under 25 using online dating sites ... i love spending my mornings looking for a parking spot at the Towers. its always an enthralling, exuberating waste of half an hour. No-sex November? Puh-lease. You werent having sex with me before the beard, anyway. BiEBEr HaS CHild!? My innocence has officially been corrupted.

editor@kansan.com simply untrue. Do pictures sold to People magazine and aroundthe-clock E! television exposure count? Guess not. Kim considers herself a role model for her young fans. Let us hope that this is not the future of every adoring young fan of Kims. Id rather see more girls turn out like Kesha. It may come as a surprise, but Kim still has a throng of fans. Those fans bought in to the whirlwind romance and the thought of fairy tale endings. Those are the very fans who are upset with Kims critics and skeptics, but are they directing their anger appropriately? If Cam Newton had gone through all of the pre-draft drills and workouts only to decide that he didnt like football anymore, his fans would be pissed at him instead of turning their anger towards those who
covered the story. Now comes the real question: Whats next for Kim? She could be the next Bachelorette because we all know that everybody on that show is doing it for love and babies and a real life. If only E! had the rights to that show. It may draw viewers, but Im sure Kims version of the Bachelorette would end up looking like an episode of Tila Tequilas A Shot of Love. Whether she ends up taking New York or not, Kim has successfully locked down a few more months as a relevant human being. Dont think for a second that shell go away anytime soon, though. Her mother, as it turns out, seems to be a better manager than Eric Murphy when it comes to lining up jobs. Fret not, Kim fans. Its only a matter of time before she shows up again. She keeps showing up without warning, and it seems like well never get rid of her. It seems as if you can get rid of a few horrible reality stars, but Kim Kardashian, she stays with you for life.

the Cyclones are riding high following their big victory over texas tech. they are two games away from becoming Bowl Eligible and will need the win this week, as their final three games are against oklahoma state, oklahoma, and Kansas state, all top-15 teams. the Cyclone defense is schematically different from the one the Jayhawks saw in Austin, texas last weekend in that they dont blitz as much as the Longhorns did. Junior linebacker Jake Knott is all over the field, leading the Cyclones with 8.75 tackles per game. this week could be the week the Kansas offense gets back on track, as the cyclones rank 101st nationally in total defense.

Riding a six-game losing streak, Kansas is now 2-6 on the year and 0-5 in Big 12 play. the closest of their last four games was a 30-point loss to oklahoma. After carrying the defense all season, the Jayhawks offense had only 46 yards against texas. the entire team will have to pick it up against Iowa state, if it hopes to stay competitive.

these next four games are make-or-break for coach turner Gill. Hes in the hot seat, as his coaching philosophies have come into question. the Jayhawks closest thing to a road win all season was its 66-24 loss to Georgia tech, so Gill will need to get his guys more amped up to play on the road than they have been all season.

Was the offenses good performance against texas a fluke? the offensive numbers for Kansas have been on a downward trend throughout Big 12 play, culminating in the shutout loss to texas. Kansas didnt cross midfield until late in the fourth quarter against the Longhorns. the offense has a chance to redeem itself against Iowa state, or further prove that the season has taken a turn for the worst.

Will the Cyclones keep making big plays? through eight games this season, the Cyclones have had nine plays go 40 yards or more. theyll have more chances to continue to make big plays against a Kansas defense notorious for allowing the home run.

Paul Rhodes is in his third year at the helm of the Iowa state Cyclones. Rhodes turned around a program that lost 10 games in the season prior to his hiring. In his first season, Rhodes not only led Iowa state to a winning season, but also a 14-13 victory in the 2009 Insight Bowl against Minnesota. Iowa state is Rhodes first tenure as a coach. He previously served as the defensive coordinator at Auburn and Pittsburgh.
sophomore Quarterback Jordan Webb: Before its game on saturday against texas tech, the Iowa state defense had struggled all year. But the Cyclones held a passhappy Red Raider offense to only seven points. Jordan Webb cannot allow the Iowa state defense to have similar success this saturday if Kansas wants any chance of returning to Lawrence with a victory. Webb will have to be smart and effective, which should help open up the running game and the Kansas offense as a whole.

Before their upset win in Lubbock, texas last weekend, the Cyclones looked like the best chance for the Jayhawks to pick up a conference win in the 2011 season. Iowa states 41-7 victory was the largest margin of victory over a ranked opponent in Cyclone history, and came just a week after texas tech knocked off then third ranked oklahoma. the Jayhawks will want to channel some of that magic when they head up to Ames, Iowa this weekend.

sophomore running back James White: With a freshman quarterback, Jared Barnett, under center, the Cyclones will look to White to take the pressure off Barnett. Last game, they handed the ball off to White 31 times. Expect more of the same as they count on him to keep the chains moving and wear down the Jayhawk defensive front.

mgoodwin@kansan.com Senior Rebeka Stowe is honored to be recognized as an All-Big 12 cross country runner for the second consecutive season and also added a new personal record last Saturday. In every race Stowe has run this season, she finished first on the Kansas squad. Despite her success, Stowe said she was disappointed with her seventh place finish at the Big 12 Championship race. Despite going to high school in Olathe, Rebeka never thought she would end up at the University of Kansas. Her family is mostly KStaters, as she calls them. Its weird, actually. My grandma was the only one who went to KU and I was always bashing it, Stowe said. When it came time to visit colleges, Kansas State the school she had always wanted to attend just didnt feel right.

over Manhattan made all the difference for Stowe. Before sophomore year, she heard that coach Stanley Redwine was hiring a new assistant coach, Michael Whittlesey. At the time, Stowe was still trying to find her role on the team. I was coming in here saying things like I kind of want to go to the Olympics. Stupid things like that, just dreams. Stowe said with a laugh. Whittlesey has watched Stowe grow as an athlete and reach her potential over the years. She was very excited, and a determined, motivated athlete at that point and still is, Whittlesey says of that meeting. She actually got to see some of her long-term goals achieved earlier than she thought. Her expectations continue to match up to that at a faster rate than she anticipated. Before coming to Kansas, Whittlesey coached cross country at the University of North Carolina for 11 years. UNCs womens team reached
the NCAA championships 10 out of those 11 years. Whittlesey was awarded ACC Coach of the Year twice, in 1999 and 2003. Stowe had never heard of Michael Whittlesey or all of his accomplishments before meeting with him in 2009. Hes been put in my path for a reason, Stowe said. Hes taught me a lot about believing in yourself and going after your dreams no matter how wild they are. It is still a dream for Stowe to race at the NCAA Championships and this will be her last chance to make it to nationals. She will run on Nov. 12 at the Midwest regional for a chance at making that dream come true. Stowe is a spiritual person guided by her faith. She believes that she was made to be a runner and that God placed this path in front of her. She may not know where the next turn leads, but for now, Stowe stays focused on keeping her legs moving.

I walked away from this game knowing not only that the Jayhawks came away with a win, but that I was now a part of the rich tradition of Kansas basketball. There were a lot of little things I was able to pick up that I would not have noticed had I been sitting elsewhere. Like when Jeff Withey is at the line shooting free throws, we dont just raise our arms, but we form a W using our hands. Or the various distractions students will do to throw off the opposing free-throw shooter. Or that I really need to work on the fight song clap, because every time I do it, Im off beat from everyone else. Every University student remembers his or her first basketball game as a student, and Im proud to say that I now have one under my belt. Basketball at Allen Fieldhouse is unlike any other program in the country, and I was able to see that first hand on Tuesday. Edited by Josh Kantor
The Longhorns have a full head of steam after shutting out the reeling Kansas Jayhawks. They get another chance to buck their horns this week as they welcome the inconsistent Texas Tech red raiders to Austin, Texas. Texas Tech is one of the most unpredictable teams in the league. it won against a top 5 team in norman, okla., one week, then fell at home to lowly iowa State the next. The Longhorns defense will prevent the Texas Tech offense from moving seamlessly down the field.

The wildcats enter Stillwater, okla. after their tough loss against the Sooners. now, they will have to contain the secondbest scoring offense in the nation. The wildcats strategy of trying to move the chains and keep the Cowboy offense off the field is the opposite of the quick strike Cowboys plan of running as many plays in as little time as possible. The wildcat defense will do its best to slow down the Cowboy offense, but oklahoma State quarterback brandon weeden will be too much for the wildcats to contain.

The Tigers will travel to Texas for the second week in a row to face the baylor bears. Their last trip ended in an overtime win over Texas A&m. baylor enters the game on a cold streak, having lost three of four games since entering big 12 play. baylor quarterback robert griffin iii has not been the same Heisman candidate he once was when the bears entered big 12 play. A week after their overtime victory, missouri will come out flat against baylor in Texas.

Texas A&m is struggling to stay afloat after losing to missouri last weekend. The loss pretty much eliminated it from the big 12 title hunt and another loss could seriously hamper coach mike Shermans job security. oklahomas hopes fall on quarterback Landry Jones, after the Sooners lost leading rusher Dominique whaley for the season because of an injury. Sooner quarterback Landry Jones will come back swinging after halftime and the Aggies will suffer their fourth secondhalf collapse on their way to losing the game.

COMMENTARY
a Change in routine
MiKe vernon
mvernon@kansan.com The coaching staff said that theyre changing the way Kansas conducts its practices this week and mother nature helped advance those changes Wednesday night. The steady rain and cooling temperatures drove the Jayhawks out of their normal practice facilities and onto the indoor turf at Anschutz Pavilion. We got our debut on the inside turf today and it worked out pretty well, Turner Gill said. Were just trying to keep our guys intense. Were just trying to change up the practice part of it and change the routine because I think when you stimulate the brain it does help some guys to do better. A different routine may be able to help the running game that was supposed to carry the team through this season. After being a strong point throughout the first six games of the Kansas season, the rushing attack has become a detriment to a struggling Kansas offense. In those first six games, the defense was collapsing while the offense maintained itself as a steady force, keeping games somewhat respectable for Kansas. The Jayhawks averaged 206.8 yards per game on the ground and 31.6 points per game. In the previous two games against Kansas State and Texas, Kansas rushed for a combined total of 74 yards and the offense only scored a total of 21 points. While the negative two-yard rushing performance against Texas brings the numbers down considerably, the Jayhawks have averaged 169.8 less yards on the ground in those past two games, compared to their first six. We dont think throwing the ball 30 or 40 times a game is the best way for us to be productive, Gill said.
hen it comes to making something ugly more appealing, there is an old saying: you cant put lipstick on a pig. This season, Kansas football coach Turner Gill has tried to take that saying even further. Hes put lipstick on the pig, injected it with Botox and given it a nose job. But Gills always sunny attitude regarding his historically horrible team is starting to rub Kansas fans the wrong way. Listening to Gills teleconference on Oct. 30 was a surreal experience for anyone who has seen even one quarter of Kansas football this season. Were doing just OK, Gill said when asked how he was doing. It was a far cry from former coach Mark Manginos epic rant after his team lost at Texas in 2004, which has received nearly 200,000 views on YouTube. And believe it or not, that is the closest Gill has come all season to showing that these blowout losses are getting to him. Gill went on to praise the defense, saying they showed mental toughness and determination. Yes, that defense, the one that surrendered 590 total yards of offense and 441 rushing yards to the Longhorns. He said the offense played hard. Yes, that offense, the one that rushed 20 times for -2 yards and came within two yards of the all-time mark for futility for a Kansas offense. OK, so a teleconference may not have been the best platform for Gill to unleash hell. But what about one of his many, many press conferences during the week? Surely at some point Gill could have shown some semblance of being mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, right? Well, not this season. Especially not on Oct. 11 when Gill had this gem: There are a lot of good things that have occurred in our football season and also with our football team, Gill told The Kansan at a press conference. We are No. 1 in the conference in net punting. The Jayhawks defense is poised to break the all-time record for yards allowed per game in one season, set by Maryland in 1994 (553). The offense gave the Longhorns their first shutout since 2005 last week. Gill isnt just trying to find silver linings. He is trying to find them in the middle of destructive hurricane. Nobody is asking for Gill to have a complete meltdown, like the infamous Im a man! Im 40! tirade from Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy in 2007. That might be the only thing that could embarrass the University more than the losing. But Gills positivity during chaos is making him look like Nero, fiddling while Rome burns. Positivity is part of his character, and it is one of his greatest traits. Gill probably takes the losses harder than anyone in Lawrence not named Vic Shealy. But there is a time when positivity begins to be interpreted as apathy, and a stoic attitude is interpreted as being nonchalant. And as unfair as it may be, Gill has reached that point with Kansas football fans. Edited by Ben Chipman
sophomore running back James sims looks for running room but finds none in the first half of last saturdays game against Texas. sims rushed three times for five yards in the Jayhawks 0-43 defeat. kansas is now 2-6 for the season and winless in conference play. And thats just what Kansas has been forced to do. Unfortunately, like the diminishing rushing game, the passing attack that proved to be so efficient early in the season has also collapsed. Following Kansas sixth game of the season against Oklahoma, the Jayhawks have averaged approximately 23 more rushing attempts per game than passes. In its last two games, Kansas is averaging only 2.5 more runs than passes per game. I felt coming off of that last game and practice Sunday, you never know whats going to happen and how theyre going to show up mentally, offensive coordinator Coach Long said about the mood of the team Sunday. But, they showed up in great spirits and practiced well. There was a sense of hey, that wasnt us, we want to do better. The Kansas offense will have its chance to do better against a 4-4 Iowa State team. The Cyclones have a rush defense that ranks 108th in the country. They have given up an average of 206.75 yards per game. Before defeating Texas Tech 41-7, the Cyclones had allowed an average of 310.6 yards in their previous three games against Texas A&M, Missouri and Baylor. The Jayhawks have ranted on the opportunities that lay ahead for them all season, and with two games to go in the season, they are running out of opportunities to speak about.

I was telling those kids today, this is a great day, because its another opportunity to get better, its another opportunity to take the Kansas program where we want it to go, offensive line coach J.B.
