Irving Hill and Engel Roads will be
closed beginning Monday due to the
next phase of construction that will
begin this week. University students
who wish to be picked up from Daisy
Hill will need to use route 43, which
will make a stop in front of Lewis
Hall.
Bus routes 11 and 41 will be rerout-
ed once the construction begins be-
cause the closing of the roads would
have posed challenges for the bus
routes while getting across the bridge
on Irving Hill Road.
[Route] 43 normally only exists
during fall and spring semesters,
Danny Kaiser, the assistant director
of Parking and Transit, said. But be-
cause of the two reroutes there were
not going to be any buses coming
through Daisy Hill, and we wanted
to provide service to Daisy Hill so we
just brought 43 out early with just one
vehicle.
Kaiser said that the routes should
still be able to provide transportation
to those who need it, but those who
are riding the bus may need to adjust
which bus stop they use.
Our goal was to continue to pro-
vide transit service for everybody
who we promised wed have transpor-
tation service for this summer, and
we think weve managed to do that,
Kaiser said. Its just going to be a lit-
tle diferent than how it started out in
the beginning of summer.

When you look at Susan Green, she
appears to be just like you. Her pride
and joy is her little dog Annabelle and
shes excited to be a grandma for the
frst time in just a few months. What
you cant see is Greens past. Six years
ago, she was homeless.
Today, life is much better for Green.
Shes living in her own apartment
and made a home for herself in Law-
rence, but because of a disability shes
still one of 16,000 people through-
out Douglas County who struggle
with where their next meal is coming
from, according to Just Food, a local
food pantry at 1000 E. 11th St. Tats
enough people to equal the entire city
of Great Bend.
According to Kansasfoodbank.com,
about 17 percent of Douglas County
doesnt have consistent access to food.
Tey are categorized as food inse-
cure.
Elizabeth Keever, chief resource
ofcer at Just Food, said hunger af-
fects more than just the stereotypical
homeless person. Keever said they see
clients of all ages and backgrounds at
their pantry.
Hunger has no face and has no
name, Keever said. Tere are peo-
ple out there in the community you
would never realize needed help. Its
just humbling to think it could hap-
pen to anyone.
Just Food also acts as a distributor
for Douglas County partnering with
29 other agencies and four satellite
food pantries, which function just
like any other food pantry, except Just
Food is responsible for keeping them
stocked with help from their network
access to see what the pantries need.
Keever said Just Food is gearing up
for July the busiest month of the
year for the pantry and its distribu-
tors. Keever said this is because of
high bills from running the air con-
ditioner all summer, which leads to
less money for food. Children and
teens are also out of school and par-
ents need to provide at least one meal
a day that would normally be taken
care of by free and reduced lunch
programs.
Keever said there are several other
reasons many of their clients come to
their facility in need of assistance.
Its increasingly hard to access food
stamps, Keever said. Teyre harder
to get because of more restrictions.
Te average food stamper gets $3 a
day, and if thats a resource you rely
on, thats simply not enough.
Food stamps arent enough for
Green who has been a regular client
at Just Food for months now because
of her disability.
Green receives $18 a month in food
stamps and said she has called the
benefts ofce nearly in tears. She said
she didnt feel like anyone could hear
her.
By the middle of the month Id have
nothing to eat if it wasnt for places
like Just Food, Green said.
Several other programs in Lawrence
ofer food assistance as well. Te Law-
rence Interdenominational Nutrition
Kitchen (LINK) and Jubilee Caf of-
fer meals to those who are hungry,
while places like Family Promise and
the Lawrence Community Shelter of-
fer meals, a place to stay, job training,
family services and education. When
Green was homeless she started vis-
iting the LINK Kitchen and they di-
Local organizations combat hunger

Streaming services dominate television
NETFLIX
FACEBOOK
R
egular television is dying. Its
a well-known fact that Netfix
has permanently changed
American watching habits. Despite
being around for close to two de-
cades, cable companies are only now
responding.
Its no secret that the best television
of the past 15 years wasnt broadcast
for the masses. With the exception
of Te Ofce and maybe Lost,
the biggest television events have
belonged to streaming services and
niche subscriptions.
Cable companies near-monop-
oly on service, which is a topic for
another time, has given them the
opportunity to resist adapting, up-
grading or even changing their most
basic services.
An online TV subscription service
named Aereo went head to head with
a few cable companies in the highest
court a few weeks ago. It rebroadcast
conventional TV online for much,
much cheaper rates. Broadcasting
companies sued and won, and Aereo
shut its doors only days afer the
decision.
Tat tells us two things. First, cable
companies would rather sue than
change conventional TV subscrip-
tions or compete in any way. And
second, its 21st century competitors
cant go about releasing the same, or
even similar content.
We all know streaming services
dominate the landscape. Its conve-
nient, unconstrained by schedules,
and best of all, cheaper than any
other service per-video. Im really
surprised that Netfix isnt more
ubiquitous than it is already. Its fat
out better than conventional cable in
nearly every way.
Te one thing it cant keep up with
is the release date. Te producers
of the content still have that edge.
While Im someone who can wait for
the latest season of Parks and Rec-
reation to hit the Flix, some cant.
Netfix and its ilk realized this.
Orange is the New Black and
House of Cards, two of the most
buzz-worthy and popular shows of
the year were produced by Netfix.
Tey bypassed the industrial produc-
tion companies and won.
Hopefully the cable companies
wont invoke some arcane bylaw to
sweep Netfixs feet out from under it.
Even if they make an attempt, Netf-
lix, unlike Aereo, is as established as
it comes.
Alongside HBO, Showtime and
related companions, specialty TV
will take even further control in the
coming years. Tis is good and bad,
but mostly good.
Its good because television, for
the frst time in its history, will not
be written for the least common
denominator. It wont be chained to
prime time ad slots and even worse,
the ad companies demands. TV will
be about product frst, show time
second. Te History Channel might
be able to run, you know, historical
shows.
In my perfect setup, a customer
would subscribe to a set number of
channels with a checklist. Bloated
packages and pre-sets would be
pared down to news, sports and
your dozen favorite channels. Let the
multi-trillion dollar industry hash
out the rest of the details.
And thats the best part of these
changes that subscription and
streaming services bring. Teyre
forcing cable companies to compete
in a way out of which they cant
negotiate or sue. Unlike consumers,
they have power to change TV for-
ever. And theyve already started.

Social media alters interpersonal relations
I
ts been ten years since Mark
Zuckerbergs Facebook took over
the Internet and forever changed
the ways we interact with one an-
other. Two years later came the rise
of Twitter, followed by Instagram,
then Snapchat and then you get
the idea.
But does social media truly connect
us and make us more interpersonal?
Studies from across the board, in-
cluding Facebooks recent contro-
versial study in which it altered
more than 600,000 subjects news
feeds suggest social media makes
us depressed, according to Time
Magazine.
Some studies suggest that there
is no strong correlation between
the use of social media and rates of
depression because the tech is fairly
new, but Facebook was also devel-
oped at the time when Internet use
in the United States was already on
an incline, and Americans were lone-
lier than ever, according to Stephen
Marche, contributing writer for Te
Atlantic, in his article Is Facebook
Making Us Lonely?
Its a wonder how something that
was built of the basis of connect-
ing others can make people sad or
lonely; its important to understand
because interpersonal communica-
tion is far diferent than that of digi-
tal means and they vary in a way that
requires clarity to understand and
analyze. Te best thing to do is to is
recognize which relationships matter
the most and insure their value isnt
being cheapened by the convenience
or accessibility of your relationships
online.

As a watermelon exploded into the
air and chunks rained down to the
ground, Captain Mike Hall of the
Olathe Fire Department said it shows
what can happen to a person if they
mess with explosive freworks and get
too close at the wrong time.
Te watermelon explosion was part
of an annual demonstration that the
Olathe Fire Department puts on be-
fore the Fourth of July to remind peo-
ple of the hazards of freworks.
Te department blew up watermel-
ons with powerful explosives like an
M-80 and a mortar shell stufed down
a tube, which shot out like a little can-
non.
Hall led the demonstration and
started of by searing a hot dog with a
sparkler to show what a third-degree
burn on the skin looks like. Te hot
dog turned charred and ashy where
the heat had touched.
Jennifer Parks, the trauma and burn
performance improvement coordina-
tor at Te University of Kansas Hospi-
tal, said a lot of patients come in with
burns to the hands, arms and face,
typically from hand-held freworks
such as sparklers. She said people
tend to underestimate the dangers of
them because they look fun, but they
can burn up to 1200 degrees Fahren-
heit.
People think that sparklers are the
smallest freworks and theyre most
innocent, but those are the ones that
actually cause the majority of the in-
juries and those injuries are typically
to kids under the age of 15 because
people think that those are the safest
freworks to provide to kids, Parks
said.
While freworks are a fun tradition,
they can be very dangerous and life-
threatening when things go wrong.
Hall said that people watch videos
on YouTube and get ideas and think it
will be OK, but he warned that people
need to respect the danger that fre-
works possess.
If you choose to do something, es-
pecially if its illegal, and something
bad goes wrong, well, every choice

has a consequence and youre re-
sponsible for that consequence and it
could be minimal or it could be life-
changing, Hall said. You dont want
one little silly choice to haunt you for
the rest of your life.
One of the worst frework-related
calls Hall remembers is when a man
was killed in his home when a home-
made frework went of from static
discharge. Te force of the blast was
enough to knock the sheetrock down
from the ceiling.
Fire Captain Inspector Paul Otto of
Olathe said that based on his experi-
ence, the most common injuries are
hand burns, but more serious injuries
are caused when people light of a
mortar shell in a tube.
Te person lights the fuse and steps
away, but ofentimes theres a delay in
the explosion so the person will come
back up to check the fuse or think the
mortar is a dud, but then the mortar
will suddenly go of while the person
is standing over it.
Otto said the number of calls over
the holiday for frework-related in-
juries in Olathe has gone down, but
he thinks this might be because fre-
works are prohibited in Olathe.
A lot of times if they have regular
frecrackers and they have hand in-
juries, they dont even call us because
they know its illegal and they stay at
home and try to fx it, Otto said. If
its signifcant, they will call us or go
to the hospital.
Parks said they expect a lot of pa-
tients between July 3 and 5, so they
prepare for Fourth of July weekend
about a month in advance by giving
special training to the employees and
scheduling extra staf in the burn,
trauma and emergency departments.
Parks said the number of patients
varies each year, but can be anywhere
from a couple patients to 30 or more.
Its busy, but its what were used to,
its what we do, its what weve been
trained to do, Parks said. We have
a passion for what we do, no matter
if we have one patient or we have 36
patients. Tats what were there for,
were there to take care of these pa-
tients whether its an accidental injury
or some bad choices.
Kelly Dahl, an education and injury
prevention specialist at Te Univer-
sity of Kansas Hospital, said that the
majority of the patients who come in
for frework-related injuries are males
aged 15 to 24 and about 30 percent
are children aged 15 and younger.
Sometimes the accidents involve
alcohol or are just from people being
careless. Other times its a combina-
tion of both.
Although the majority of patients
come in with minor injuries from
sparklers, Parks said last year they
had several cases with missing fngers
and hands that were caused by the
large explosives like mortars.
Its not always an injury occur-
ring to the person thats lighting the
frework or who made the decision
to combine a bunch of freworks; its
some innocent bystanders that want-
ed to watch the spectacle that ofen
get injured as well, Parks said.
Fireworks are also banned in Law-
rence, but there are opportunities
around the area to see professional
freworks displays in Lawrence at
Watson Park on Seventh and Ken-
tucky Streets or at Burcham park at
200 Indiana St. at 9:45 p.m. In Olathe,
there is a freworks show at the Great
Mall of the Great Plains at 9:30 p.m.

Fireghters at the Olathe Fire Department demonstrated hazards of using reworks by showing how an M-80 obliterates a watermelon.
Kamari Logan, a long-time Law-
rence resident, had always dreamed
of owning her own house someday.
And with the help of the Lawrence
Habitat for Humanity and its spon-
sor, Women Build, her dream became
a reality.
Te Lawrence Habitat for Human-
ity dedicated its 84th home at 204 N.
Comfort Lane to the Logan family
Saturday.
Lindsey Slater, the Habitat for Hu-
manities board of directors said, that
they have a certain criteria in choos-
ing families. Tey need to fall some-
where between 30 and 60 percent
of the median income of Lawrence,
which is about $77,000. Families
must be in need and are required to
do 250 hours of volunteer work to
help in the building process of other
donated homes.
More importantly, Slater said, its
about breaking the cycle of poverty.
Tis has been the organizations mis-
sion for every family theyve helped in
its 25 years in Lawrence.
Anytime we can help a Lawrence
family that is hard-working and de-
serving of a house of their own, its
a wonderful feeling, Slater said. Its
even more meaningful that we can
help a Lawrencian who has lived here
for her whole life.
Its a big day, Logan said. Its pretty
overwhelming. Im going to continue
to live humble and give back to the
next homeowner and build their
house.
Kamari said her mother, who passed
away in 2000, always knew she would
own a home one day. Now 14 years
later, she said her mom is shining
down as she was ofcially given her
new home just like her mom knew
she would.
Te frst thing Im going to do
is bring a rocking chair my mom
bought me 14 years ago of her pass-
ing, Logan said. So I still kept that
rocking chair when she said she knew
I was going to own a home and that
rocking chair will be the frst thing
coming into this house.
Te event was to ofcially dedicate
the new home, thank those who vol-
unteered to help in the construction
of the house and give Kamari gifs.
One volunteer, Mike Amyx, vice
mayor of Lawrence at the time of
construction said helping out was for
a good cause and its a good program
to get involved with. He helped nail a
few nails and place a couple of win-
dows.
Helping fulfll housing needs
doesnt get much better than that,
Amyx said. It was pretty rewarding.
Te Universitys women's soccer
team also contributed in the con-
struction process.
Procter and Gamble donated some
cleaning supplies to start Kamari of
on the right foot. Other donations in-
cluded a $100 gif card to the Habitat
for Humanity Restore, which is like a
hardware store that inventories appli-
ances like sinks, cabinets and fooring
to help furnish her new home.
Kate Walker, the Logan family part-
ner said, its been a long two years
for Kamari building and helping ev-
eryday with construction and raising
money.
We did several fundraisers and a
couple luncheons to raise money,
Logan said. I dont think there wasnt
a day when Kamari was not out here
doing something for help.
Kamari is a single mother of two
daughters: 18-year-old Keyahana and
two-year-old Khloe. She was born in
Alameda, Calif., but grew up in Law-
rence and was a 1993 Lawrence High
School graduate. She has been work-
ing at Hallmark Cards, Inc., for nearly
16 years and is currently working on
her nursing degree at Highland Com-
munity College.
Kamari was nearly speechless and
overjoyed. She said it means a lot to
her family and now they can get to
do what they need to do. And her
next move is focusing on getting her
daughter through college at Haskell
Indian Nations University while still
raising her two-year-old.
Te home is the last home in the
Comfort neighborhood, which has 15
other homes built by Habitat. A small
housewarming and block party event
will be held for the neighborhood in
August.
It means a lot; no more renting,
Logan said. Im very overwhelmed
right now.

Tour of Lawrence hosts sixth annual cycling race
COMPETITION
Te sixth annual Tour of Lawrence
bike races fnished up Sunday afer-
noon afer an entertaining and suc-
cessful weekend.
Friday night consisted of some short
street sprint races. Only the mens
and womens professional divisions
participated in the warm-up sprints
before the endurance circuit race on
Saturday.
Saturday races continued as sched-
uled despite heavy rain in Lawrence
in the afernoon. Te rain did afect

Stover, a member of cycling team GP
Velotek and the KU Cycling Club.
I thought I was doing everything
right, I think I was running a little
too much pressure in my tires so they
didnt have enough traction, Sto-
ver, a junior from Lawrence, said. I
crashed out, a lot of people crashed
out. I think only around 20 guys fn-
ished or so.
Te frst circuit of the day was the
mens masters 40 and older category.
Te next race had the 60 and older
mens division competing. Races in
mens and womens pro divisions

the whole event [were] just excellent,

rected her to Just Food. Now Green
also visits Heartland Community
Health Center which has a food pan-
try and provides medical care.
While job training, education, fam-
ily services and medical care are all
necessary steps to self-sufciency, its
hard to function when your stomach
is rumbling.
How do you focus on applying for
a job when you have a much more
immediate issue to deal with? Keev-
er said. Its like showing someone
whose house is on fre the blueprint
for a new house.
Green said when she was struggling
six years ago she came to Lawrence
because she heard it was the place to
go for a fresh start and a city where
they wouldnt discriminate against
her. In her earlier years, Green was
married, worked and had two daugh-
ters; a life similar to many. It was later
that things started to fall apart and
she needed some help, which is more
commonly becoming the case.
Without places like Just Food, I
dont know how I would have sur-
vived, Green said.

Te music of Beethoven and Johann
Strauss flled the National WWI Mu-
seum at Liberty Memorial on Satur-
day as the Kansas City Symphony Or-
chestra String Quartet played a ballad
to commemorate an event that shook
the world exactly a century ago.
Te National WWI Museum at Lib-
erty Memorial memorialized the an-
niversary of the 1914 assassination of
Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz
Ferdinand and his wife with a series
of educational events.
Todays ceremony is intended to
be refective and indeed solemn be-
cause it marked the beginnings of the
founding catastrophe of the twenty-
frst century, and we remember the
events that pulled every continent
into the frst global war, Tomas
Burch, the museums board of trust-
ees chairman, said.
A free self-guided tour on the mu-
seums South mall featured stories
from the seven assassins that plotted
to kill the Archduke, as well as a 1910
Maytag-Mason automobile, a similar
model that Ferdinand rode in during
his demise.
Tere was also a Twitter reenact-
ment project of the assassination run
by @KU_WWI. By using #KU_WWI,
participants developed a reenactment
script to retell the events as they oc-
curred.
Tis is just one way in which to en-
gage with people and this topic, and
hopefully it can inspire them to learn
more, Adrienne Landry, outreach
coordinator of the center for Russian,
Eastern European & Eurasian Studies
at the University, said.
Te project integrated social media
as a tool to help engage students and
participants in studying the event.
Te project was live-tweeted and
gained at least up to 10 participants.
Basically how it worked is we cre-
ated Twitter accounts for the assas-
sins and various leaders and people
immediately involved And we had
a master script that was automatically
tweeting the main events that we had
people here to fll in and respond,
project leader Sam Moore said.
Te Twitter reenactment is part of
the KU WWI Project, a collaborative
efort on campus that encourages stu-
dents and faculty to engage in study
and analysis of history through a se-
ries of events until 2018.

THE ANSWERS
Te message from hate to hope is
promoting a University flm alumnis
Kickstarter project to create a docu-
mentary about Nate Phelps, the es-
tranged son of deceased Westboro
Baptist Church leader Fred Phelps.
Not My Fathers Son will chronicle
Phelps and his journey from growing
up in an extremely religious environ-
ment to breaking away from his fam-
ily and starting a new life for himself.
Brad Johnson and Jason Badgetts
goal is to raise $55,000 by July 7 in
order to cover the costs of producing
the full documentary. As of Sunday,
they need almost $40,000 to reach
their goal.
Te Westboro Baptist Church in To-
peka is best known for picketing mili-
tary funerals and for its continuous
stream of anti-homosexual rhetoric.
Te 2010 University graduates are
co-directing the flm with Johnsons
mother, Terrie. She served as inspi-
ration for the project and helped to
form a connection with Phelps that
would ultimately bring him on board.
A little over a year ago I got an
email from Brads mother, Terrie,
Phelps said. She had attached the
video she did about her coming out,
and I watched that. She went on to
explain that her son had asked her to
write me because he had been inter-
ested in doing a documentary.
Phelps said that the nature of Ter-
ries coming out video and the emo-
tion it conveyed really made an
impression on him. Tey met in Law-
rence a month later.
From that conversation, I knew
they were the best ones as far as un-
derstanding the story and under-
standing the importance of reaching
peoples hearts, Phelps said. Tat
was the reason I said yes, lets do the
project.
Te documentary has been in the
works for nearly a year and became a
fuid combination of ideas from both
Johnson and Badgett.
Badgett was familiar with the
Phelps family in high school having
grown up in Kansas. Once he started
flm school at the University, docu-
mentaries began to interest him and
his fascination with the Phelps family
and Westboro resurfaced when John-
son suggested to document Phelps
story.
It was a story about hope, a posi-
tive story to put out there as opposed
to something negative, Badgett said.
Johnson and Badgett said they
arent too worried about backlash
from Westboro.
Weve already heard from them,
Johnson said. Within a couple
of days someone had, on Twitter,
tagged them on something and they
responded calling us out with some
crazy Westboro response.
Despite Westboros commentary,
Johnson said funding the documen-
tary through Kickstarter has been
well-received by people all over the
nation.
It has served its purpose by get-
ting our foot in the door and getting
the awareness out about the project
in a way that really I dont think we
couldve done without, Johnson said.
Johnson said that being able to call
people in to donate and read about
the project on a web page has been
extremely helpful to get it in front of
people.
Te exposure hasnt stopped there.
By using their documentarys Twitter
handle (@NatePhelpsdoc), they have
been able to inform those who may
have missed it otherwise.
Celebrities like Roseanne Barr,
Kathy Najimy and Rosie ODonnell
spread the word through retweets or
comments on Twitter.
With only seven days lef on their
Kickstarter project and $40,000 lef
to go, they are confdent that they will
reach their ultimate goal. Johnson,
Badgett and Phelps are focused on
spreading the message of hope.
Johnsons mother came out to her
family and friends afer 40 years of
suppressing her feelings and living
a life that she felt was not her own.
She contemplated suicide rather than
facing her religious upbringing and
family who had condemned a gay
lifestyle.
As a witness to this line of events, it
lef Johnson to contemplate what his
future might have been like if things
had turned out diferently. A lot of
that feeling has been what has fueled
his desire to make this documentary.
He wants it to serve a purpose to
help others.
I started thinking about what life
would be like without my mom,
Johnson said.
Johnson said his mom is one of his
best friends and he empathizes with
people who dont have a loving rela-
tionship with their parents.
I really want to ofer hope to those
kids that no matter how youre raised,
no matter what situation youre
brought up in, your life is your own,
Johnson said. You can make it what
you want, whether thats staying in
the closet for 40 years or running
away when youre 18.
Phelps said he shares much of the
same sentiment.
For me, it is getting the point across
to people that the ideas that people
hold in their head and act on can cost
people their lives, Phelps said. Tats
the essence of it, and we need to real-
ize that. Just because were removed
from those consequences, we have to
understand that theres a direct corre-
lation between the ideas that we carry
around in our heads and the efect it
has on other human beings.
Phelps also has one line that he likes
to stand by of which Johnson now
knows by heart:
Hate is stupid and love is good.

In the African village of Nakivumbi,
more than 8,000 miles from Law-
rence, a crowd of Ugandans sang the
Rock Chalk chant.
Jordann Bell, a senior from Ells-
worth, led the chant during a mis-
sion trip earlier in June with a team of
students from the Christian campus
ministry, Called to Greatness.
In that moment, even though
there's so much hunger and lack of
emotional support for those children,
nothing else matters
in the world just be-
cause they're so joy-
ful and so carefree,
Bell said. Tey were
just excited to be in
our presence and we
were excited to be in
theirs.
Even though Eng-
lish is taught in the
Ugandan schools, a
language barrier still exists. She said
the ministry connected with the peo-
ple in three villages through a love of
for music and singing.
Tey had the chance to welcome us
and invite us into their school family
and we got to share that too, said Josh
Prescott, a Called to Greatness intern.
A YouTube video captures the chant,
but Bell said what the video didnt
show were the children singing Bible
songs and praising God.
Te main purpose of the mission
trip was to share Bible teachings and
interact with the people in the vil-
lages. She said it gave them an oppor-
tunity to love the people in a part of
the world with material and relational
poverty.
Even if they look, speak, live and
believe diferently, they still have the
same wants, needs, desires to love one
another and have a sense of family
like we do, Bell said.
Some of the villag-
es, she said, lacked
electricity and run-
ning water but even
in such conditions,
the people were
happy.
Prescott said when
he returned from the
two week trip, he felt
incredibly thankful
for the opportunities in America.
I cant settle for a life of mediocrity
afer what Ive seen there, Prescott
said.

Some of the familiar greeters at
a few downtown businesses roam
around on four legs and have a bit of
extra fur on their faces.
Tey are the cats and dogs of Massa-
chusetts Street and though they can't
speak for themselves, their owners
know their stories well.
Whether they're curled up on top
of a stack of records, darting behind
bookshelves or pacing in front of a
window, they receive attention from
customers in the form of ear scratch-
es.
"I think it gives it more of a home
feeling especially to pet owners to
walk in and see a calm animal in the
environment," Amanda Eck, a client
care attendant at the Lawrence Hu-
mane Society, said.
She said most animals crave atten-
tion and when employees decide to
bring them to work, and it makes
for a happier place to be for both the
people and animals.
Love Garden
It can be challenging to fip through
records when a cat is sprawled across
the top of the crate.
It's something customers have come
to expect when they visit Love Gar-
den, said Katie Ashmore, the store's
record buyer.
Te record store at 822 Mass St. is
the home of two eight-year-old male
cats a blonde tabby named Mickey
and a dark tabby named Sam who
lounge all day. Teyve claimed nap-
ping nooks around the store.
Ashmore said most recently, Mickey
has managed to squeeze his overfed
body between CD slots; he sits like a
human in a Lazyboy chair. Sam can
usually be found on top of the dollar
record crate.
Teyre spoiled, pampered and dot-
ed upon being in such a public place.
Tey even have their own Instagram
account, @lovegardencats.
With music playing from open to
close, Ashmore said the cats have got-
ten used to the sound.
Some music is louder to them and
I can tell by the way they move their
ears, but I think theyre pretty good at
tuning it out, Ashmore said.
At night the employees cover the
shelves with blankets to prevent the
cats from clawing at the records, but
theyre usually ready for another nap
afer their long workday.
To make up for Mickey and Sams
lack of energy, two dogs prance
around looking for someone who will
throw them a ball.
Tey belong to the owners of Hand-
built Productions, housed above Love
Garden. Yuba, is Dalton Paleys gold-
en retriever and border collie mix and
Remy is Austin Paleys English shep-
herd.
Yuba, the dog to frequent downstairs
the most, is named afer the Yuba Riv-
er in California where Paleys friend
found her. He said hes convinced she
has nine lives afer she survived a 30-
foot plummet.
She bounced right back up and was
like What? Paley said.
Ashmore said she has nothing
against the cats, but Yuba makes for
the better companion.
Katie builds her beds back here and
turns on the space heater for her, Pal-
ey said. Tis is Yubas favorite spot in
the room now.

The Raven
Independent bookstores such as Te
Raven are made complete with a cat
or two.
Heidi Raak, the bookstores owner,
said some people come in just to visit
the two cats named afer the mystery
writers Ngaio Marsh and Dasheill
Hammett.
Tey tend to be more mischievous
than mysterious, and Raak said they
cause a certain level of havoc when
they knock over books or leap onto
counters.
Its amazing to me how a cat using
its paws and rear end will somehow
fip the screen on the computer, Raak
said. You have to hit, like, three keys
at the same time to do that.
Tey make for great conversation
starters, and thats how shes come to
know many of the regulars.
She said most people are pretty ac-
cepting of the furry greeters, and will
ofen overhear people speaking to
them in baby talk.
Its a welcoming thing to have these
little creatures who are so loving,
Raak said.

Local restaurant provides space for jazz music
DYLAN GUTHRIE/KANSAN
From left to right: Dave Wasecha, Carl Spaeth, Max Allbrooks and Joe Schoonover perform
in the band Blueprint Jazz in the front of Five Bar and Tables at 947 Massachussetts St.
MUSIC
Without jazz music, humankind
would not have rock n roll, hip-hop,
electronic music, or any other mod-
ern genres that circulate our venues,
our radio stations and everywhere in
between. Tough jazz music is not as
popular as when the likes of Charlie
Parker, Miles Davis, Count Basie and
Duke Ellington were on the scene,
Five Bar and Tables at 10th and Mas-
sachusetts Streets devotes Friday eve-
nings from 7 to 10 p.m., to jazz.
It all started in 2010 when Ingredi-
ent and Five Bar and Tables owner
Nick Wysong met
the musicians who
now make up Law-
rence-based jazz
combo, Blueprint
Jazz.
Im a huge music
fanatic dude, I love
it, Wysong said. Its
my gig the whole
day. I only wish that
it was a talent that I
possessed. Ive nev-
er owned that certain talent, so I try
to surround myself with people who
possess that talent.
Wysong ran into Lucas Parker, Dave
Wasescha, Max Allsbrooks and Tom-
my Johnson Jr., and the jazz musi-
cians started the tradition of playing
Friday nights at what was then called
the IBar.
Tus, Blueprint Jazz was born.
Tese kids are KU musical genius-
es, Wysong said. Tis was a start of
a revolution for [Five Bar].
Dave Wasecha, the bassist for Blue-
print Jazz, graduated from the Uni-
versity in 2012 with a degree in mi-
crobiology, but he also played in the
Universitys top combo and big band
under the direction of Professor Dan
Gailey. He now lives in Kansas City,
Mo., but he comes back every week-
end to play.
Max Allsbrooks, a Lawrence na-
tive, has been playing drums with the
group since its inception.
We fnally have a full house almost
every week. Te great thing now is
that college kids or people right out
of college are starting to come here,
Allsbrooks said. If youre looking for
something diferent and downtown,
this is the place.
Five Bar and Tables allows Blueprint
Jazz a regular venue to expose Law-
rencians to jazz.
You can have great music, but no-
body will ever know about it until you
have a great venue, Wasecha said.
Tommy Johnson, son of local trum-
pet legend Tommy Johnson Sr., start-
ed Blueprint Jazz back in 2010.
Unfortunately, in October of last
year, Johnson Jr. was diagnosed with
a condition that lef his entire face
paralyzed. Friends
and doctors alike
did not know
whether or not he
would ever be able
to play trumpet
again.
However, John-
son Jr. is recover-
ing rapidly. On
May 6 he played
his frst gig since
October. Accord-
ing to Wasecha, Johnson should be
fully recovered and back in the regu-
lar Blueprint lineup by the end of the
summer.
In 2012, the Ibar underwent a mas-
sive renovation and a name change.
Now music is played there four nights
a week.
Louella Baccaro came to Lawrence
in 1963 and she rarely misses Friday
or Saturday nights at Five Bar and
Tables.
We heard some good jazz at the
Jazzhaus originally, but there was a
long spell where we heard no jazz,
so its wonderful to have jazz back
in town again, Baccaro said. Jazz is
good for the soul.
Five Bar and Tables attracts young
people as well, such as University stu-
dent McKenzie Dever, who came to
Five Bar one Friday evening in June.
I like that theres live music here
every Friday, Dever said. Its not a
DJ, which is diferent. We also come
for half-priced martinis. Its a good
price for a good buzz.
Blueprint Jazz features a revolving

Schoonover said he thinks its im-

Its the blend of African rhythms

Welcome
Nineteen students in the KU Jazz
Ensemble will live the life of traveling
musicians and perform eight shows
for an international audience at pres-
tigious festivals in France, Germany
and Switzerland next week.
During their 11-day tour begin-
ning on July 4, the students will have
the opportunity to hear some of the
worlds greatest jazz musicians as well
as up-and-coming European jazz
combos comprised of musicians of a
similar age as the students, director
Dan Gailey said.
I am becoming more and more
aware of how many amazing jazz mu-
sicians are living in Europe and not
known very well in America, Zak
Pischnotte, a frst year D.M.A. stu-
dent from Omaha, Neb., who plays
saxophone, said in an email. Tere
are some that have moved to New
York to pursue a professional career
that I eventually hear about, but I
am very curious about those who I
wouldn't hear otherwise.
Te Ensemble is comprised of 11
undergraduate and eight gradu-
ate students and has won numerous
awards under Gaileys leadership.
Te Ensemble submitted recordings
of recent work, along with a bio and
program, to both the Montreaux Jazz
Festival in Switzerland and the Jazz
A Vienne Festival in France and re-
ceived invitations to perform as a re-
sult, according to Gailey.
Although Pischnotte is not sure ex-
actly what to expect for most of the
performances, he anticipates them all
to be rewarding experiences.
Te group is sounding great and we
have such high-level guest artists with
us, Pischnotte said. A major incen-
tive for the group as a whole is to live
up to the standard that our incredible
guest vocalist Deborah Brown brings.
It is such a privilege to back her up.
Part of the tour consists of seven
concerts in eight days. An itenerary,
Gailey said, will give the students a
taste of the life of a traveling profes-
sional musician.
Music for the program was chosen
by Gailey, who balanced familiar,
contemporary and lesser known piec-
es with several compositions by Uni-
versity students and faculty. Music
performed with guest artist Deborah
Brown was chosen by her.
Freshman trumpet player Michael
Raehpour from Andover has not per-
formed internationally before, but
said he understands its a big oppor-
tunity.
I think it's important for us to
sound our best wherever we play, but
playing overseas, we're not just rep-
resenting the University of Kansas,
we're helping represent the United
States, Raehpour said in an email.
We're the birth country of jazz, so it's
our obligation to keep making great
music and show that jazz is still alive
and well in our country.
Te ensemble will ofer a free pre-
view repertoire of their European
performances at the Lied Center on
Tursday, July 3, at 7:30 p.m.

PERFORMANCE
Moore and Landry collaborated to
make the project come to life afer
seeing a similar social media re-
enactment of Quantrills Raid last
August.
I was watching at home [and
was] so fascinated by what was oc-
curring, Landry said. I think there
was a lot of buzz afer that. Tere
were discussions on how to com-
memorate World War I and some-
one suggested why dont you do one
for Twitter, and I think thats when
the seed was planted.
Moore and history professor Na-
than Wood created a pamphlet
outlining the project and the back-
ground of the assassination. Moore
was interested in the project from
a young age and said he feels the
assassination is overlooked in the
events of World War I.
I think Twitter is helping it to
reach a younger audience who are
actively using the platform, Moore
said. Its a way to give them a per-
spective of history that you cant get
out of a textbook.
Most of the participants are vol-
unteers and created profles for the
important characters that are in-
volved in the assassination, such as
the Archduke (@ArchdukeFranzi),
Chotek (@Duchess_Sophie), Kaiser
Wilhelm (@Wilhelm_II) and Tsar
Nicolas II (@Tsar_NickyII).
I think a lot of people are inter-
ested in the topic right now, Moore
said. World War I is very timely,
its the 100th anniversary and the
events that occurred before and af-
ter have shaped the 20th and 21st
century. Tis was a way for students
and community members to ex-
press their interests by using tools
like social media.
Aside from the key characters in
the assassination, some members
created their own personas for the
re-enactment: the car, a dog who
was a bystander and another duke.
Te characters have been tweeting
in the context of the assassination
those tweets are also being trans-
lated into the original languages
spoken by the characters. Some
tweets are scripted, but otherwise
the characters have free range over
their messages.

Brooklyn, N.Y. Ever since Andrew
Wiggins was named the number one
college recruit last year, he has had
one goal in mind. A goal that only
one player can achieve each year. A
goal his fellow Canadian, Anthony
Bennett, achieved last season with the
same organization.
Wiggins wanted to be the frst over-
all pick in the 2014 NBA draf, and
tonight his dream came true. At 7:41
EST, Wiggins came of the board
number one and joined the Cleveland
Cavaliers organization.
Te third chapter in his young life
has just begun.
A thousand thoughts are going
through my head right now, Wiggins
said. I always wanted to be the num-
ber one pick.
Wiggins made his way from the
stage through the underground halls
at the Barclays Center to the media
stage. In his foral blazer and match-
ing lapel, Wiggins sat down in front
of the media. With a smile on his face
and confdence in his voice, he ad-
dressed their questions.
Shortly into Wiggins press confer-
ence, Joel Embiid was drafed third
overall by the Philadelphia 76ers.
Embiid couldnt attend the draf due
to his recent foot injury, but tweeted
his thanks to Silver.
Tis is a proud moment for me
and Joel, Wiggins said. Were happy
to represent Kansas. Kansas has the
greatest fans in the entire world and
I know theyre proud of us.
Now, Wiggins and Embiid will be
playing in front of new fans in difer-
ent cities. Cavalier and 76er fans look
forward to seeing these former Jay-
hawks in action.
We cant wait for Wiggins, An-
thony and Matt Corte, Cavaliers fans
from Cleveland, said. Hes a great
athlete. I hope that he can help us
make a push for LeBron.
Teyre not the only ones that hope
the Cavaliers can bring the Akron na-
tive back home.
I want to win, Wiggins said. If he
[LeBron] wants to win, I think wed be
good together.
While Embiid may not take the
court for Philadelphia right away,
76ers fans are eager and excited about
his potential.
Embiid is a great talent, Tom De-
wees, a 76ers fan from Baltimore who
attended the draf, said. Sam Hinkie
always makes calculated decisions
and does his homework, I trust him.
Joel is strong and faster than most
seven footers. Hell help us going for-
ward.
Andrew Wiggins became Kansas
second number one overall pick afer
Danny Manning in 1988. I think its
huge, Wiggins said. Its making his-
tory. Te Kansas fans supported me
through everything, a good game,
a bad game. Im happy to represent
them.
Wiggins will join all-star point guard
Kyrie Irving to try to turn around an
organization that has been struggling
since the departure of James in 2010.
Embiid will play in Philly, joining last
seasons Rookie of the Year, Michael
Carter-Williams, and former Ken-
tucky center Nerlens Noel who sat out
last year due to injury.
While Wiggins can make an im-
mediate contribution on the court
with his athleticism and lockdown
defense, the Sixers may have to wait
a while to see production out of Em-
biid due to injury. Nonetheless, Wig-
gins and Embiid went frst and third
overall respectively and look to have
a tremendous impact on their new
organizations.
It was a proud day, Wiggins said.
Me and JoJo, we became so close this
year at Kansas. It was so good that
I had the opportunity to share this
journey with him.

E
ven though Joel Embiid was a
one-and-done, Jayhawk fans
should remember the good
times they had with him in a Kansas
uniform.
Although he was injury-prone and
missed some of the most crucial
games of the season, Embiid was still
a major contributor to the Jayhawks
success.
Embiid, who was picked third
overall in the NBA draf, is poised for
a successful professional career. His
ability to block shots, handle the ball
and shoot well are all part of why he
was drafed so early. Some analysts
have compared the 7-foot-0 center to
NBA great Hakeem Olajuwon who
was inducted into the basketball Hall
of Fame in 2008.
Without Embiids body in the paint
and his ability to break down oppos-
ing players, the Jayhawks could have
struggled greatly during the season.
Instead, the Jayhawks won their
tenth straight Big 12 conference title
and were a number two seed during
the NCAA Tournament.
If Embiid had the good fortune of
staying healthy all season long, the
season could have continued much
deeper into March.
And coach Bill Self agrees.
We werent a two-seed without
Jo, but with Jo we certainly were
good, Self said Tursday night in a
teleconference. We still could have
easily won, but [Embiids injury] was
certainly a factor and probably was
why we werent near as good.
Te loss of Embiid certainly stood
out for Kansas during March Mad-
ness when they had an early exit, los-
ing to Stanford in the second round.
Self said its hard to overcome the
loss of a guy who might be number
one in the draf, remove him from
your team and still manage to win a
couple games.
It certainly hurt us, Self said.
Tarik [Black] stepped up and did
some nice things as did the rest of
the players, but it just wasnt quite
enough.
Embiid will make his 76ers debut
once his foot heals. When that will
be, at this point, is still up in the air.
He had surgery and the recovery
time for the surgery is four to six
months, Self said. I dont know if
hell play this year because of that or
they look at getting him back some-
time around the frst of the year.
Self said he thinks Embiid will be
able to make an immediate impact in
Philadelphia with teammate Nerlens
Noel.
I think itll be a great ft, Self said.

HISTORY
Bill Self witnessed history for the
Kansas mens basketball program
Tursday at the Barclays Center in
Brooklyn, N.Y.
Former freshmen guard Andrew
Wiggins and center Joel Embiid were
selected frst overall and third overall
in the draf, respectively. Wiggins
went to the Cleveland Cavaliers and
Embiid to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Wiggins became the frst Jayhawk
selected as a number one pick since
Danny Manning in 1988. Te pro-
gram also had never had two players
picked among the top three in the
same draf.
Wiggins and Embiid became the
30th and 31st frst-round picks in the
programs history. It also marked the
ffh consecutive year that at least two
Jayhawks were drafed.
It couldnt have happened to better
young men, Self said.
Before Wiggins was drafed, Self
never coached a player drafed num-
ber one overall, but Self said hes not
more proud of Wiggins than he was
of Ben McLemore, who went seventh
overall in 2013 to the Sacramento
Kings, or Tomas Robinson, who
went ffh overall in 2012 to the
Kings.
Tere is something about that la-
bel being number one that bodes well
for our program, Self said. Its been
26 years since we had the number
one pick, and we certainly dont want
to wait another 26 years, but were
certainly very excited.
Self said he was a little surprised
that the Cavaliers picked Wiggins
as number one, but once Cleveland
made the pick, Self knew Wiggins
was in a great spot.
He would have ft great with who-
ever, Self said. But with Dion Wait-
ers, Kyrie Irving and Andrew, thats a
pretty formidable backcourt. I know
hes part of their rebuilding process
and I know theyre very interested
in winning now and becoming a
playof team immediately. I believe
that Andrew will certainly aid in ac-
complishing that goal.
Self said Irving, who was the NBA
Rookie of the Year in 2012, has a
great reputation and Wiggins will
play well with a point guard like him.
[Irving] has an abundance of
talent, and I think that will be ever
exciting for [Wiggins], he said.
Embiid, who won Big 12 defen-
sive player of the year and set the
University all-time freshman blocks
record, could miss the entire season
due to a foot injury, Self said. Embiid
missed both the Big 12 Tournament
and NCAA Tournament with a lower
back fracture as well.
Even with all the injuries, Self said
he thinks Embiid will ft perfectly
into the organization.
Tey already got another big guy
in Nerlens Noel, who hasnt played
yet because of injury, Self said.
Self said when both Noel and Em-
biid are healthy, the 76ers could have
one of the best frontcourts.
Te Kansas basketball program
now has had three one-and-done
players drafed in the past two years.
Self said the success of the fresh-
men in recent years will help Kansas
recruit more NBA-caliber players.
Self said he thinks it does help re-
cruiting when the program has guys
that arent potential high draf before
the season, but afer the season the
players become lottery picks.
Tis is a really exciting time for
our program, he said.

SUMMER
From the outside of Memorial Sta-
dium, it will look untouched and the
same as it did in 1921. But, for the
frst time in nearly a century the KU
football team will walk onto a new
and safer Kivisto Field.
Te track and feld presence in Me-
morial Stadium lay far beyond the
eight-lane running track, which was
one of the last tracks to surround a
football feld in the BCS. Tere were
runways for long jump and for pole
vaulting, sand pits for long jump and
divots for the pole vaulting. Tose
were all hazards for the football team
when practicing or playing in Memo-
rial Stadium said Associate Athletic
Director Jim Marchiony.
Landing on those is hard on the
body, Marchiony said.
To replace the track, turf will cover
the 37-foot area behind both sidelines
and the 80-foot area behind the north
end zone. Tis will help when players
get tackled out of bounds; instead of
being brought down on the track or
having to slow down on the track, the
players can run through the sidelines
to decrease speed or a defender can
fnish a tackle without thinking where
the track was.
Former Kansas running back and
punt returner Connor Embree, who
graduated in May, said the track was
always in the back of his mind when
he was running out of bounds.
I wanted to avoid it at all times,
Embree said. Te track is unsafe
because it is so close to the feld and
there were many occasions of play-
ers getting tackled out of bounds and
landing on the track instead of the
turf.
Embree and Marchiony both men-
tioned senior running back Tony
Pierson getting hurt by being tackled
on the track during a game last sea-
son.
Pierson sufered a concussion dur-
ing the Texas Tech game on Oct. 5
when a defender tackled him out of
bounds onto a long jump straight
away. Pierson missed fve of the re-
maining eight games of the 2013-14
season due to the injury.
Embree said that could have been
avoided because the track has no pos-
itive contributions, and the track is
nothing but a safety hazard. Embree
also expressed his displeasure for the
timing of the track removal because it
has always been a safety hazard.
I was pretty upset they didn't take
it out earlier, he said. Tere was no
need for it.
Marchiony confrmed that there was
a $500,000 donation made by an un-
disclosed donor, who chooses to stay
unnamed. Tere wont be any addi-
tional project funding by the athletic
department, Marchiony said. Te
athletic department thought that the
track removal was a safety issue, but a
cosmetic issue, as well.
Safety always comes frst, Marchi-
ony said.
Marchiony continued to say that the
reasons for the track to be replaced
with turf, in this particular order,
were safety, practice space and optics
for the fans. Te renovation process,
which the athletic department said
that the track removal was the start,
will continue afer the season.
We want to go through this season
and see how this works, then we will
discuss what the priorities are for the
stadium, Marchiony said.
Te six-week project that will re-
move the track has not rendered any
setbacks, but did being a day later
than anticipated. It will be set in time
for the start of fall football practice
and the frst home game on Sept. 6.
Te removal is going very well,
Marchiony said. Plenty of time for
practice and the regular season.

On Wednesday, June 25, workers used a backhoe to determine how deep the miller machines used to demolish the Memorial Stadium

Last weekend three University track
and feld athletes headed to Sacra-
mento, Calif., where they competed
in the USA Track and Field Cham-
pionships. Te college track and feld
season ended two weeks ago but the
ofseason schedule included further
competition for hurdler Michael Sti-
gler, long jumper Sydney Conley and
thrower Jessica Maroszek.
All three of the University athletes
who competed in the national meet
earned First Team All-America hon-
ors while representing the track and
feld team this past month at the
NCAA Outdoor Championships in
Eugene, Ore.
Michael Stigler was the frst Jay-
hawk to compete in this years USA
Championships where he ran in the
frst round of the 400-meter hurdles
on Friday. Stigler lined up in lane
eight and led the entire race, fnishing
with a time of 50.55 seconds. He ad-
vanced to the semi-fnal round of the
400-meter hurdles that took place on
Saturday and had the fourth-fastest
time of the day clocking in at 49.86
seconds. In the fnals Stigler fnished
5 meters and 0.7 seconds behind the
winner, Johnny Dutch, for a runner-
up fnish with a time of 49.63 seconds.
Sophomore Sydney Conley was the
next Kansas athlete to compete and
took to the runway on Saturday at to
compete in the long jump in her frst
appearance at the USA Champion-
ships. Conley failed to make the cut
and advance to the fnals with a best
jump of 19-3 1/2 inches. Te jump
earned her a 13th place fnish and she
did not advance to the fnals.
Senior thrower Jessica Maroszek
fnished the meet for the Jayhawks
on Sunday while competing in the
discus. Maroszek fouled on all three
attempts and failed to advance to the
fnals despite having been the top
collegiate fnisher at last years USA
Championships.

Infantes single in 9th lifts
Royals over Angels
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Omar Infante
delivered another big hit against the
Angels, singling home the winning run
with one out in the ninth inning that lifted
the Kansas City Royals over Los Angeles
5-4 Sunday.
Lorenzo Cain hit three doubles for the
Royals, nishing with four hits and two
RBIs.
An error by second baseman Howie
Kendrick set up the game-ending hit by
Infante, whose grand slam Friday night
helped beat the Angels.
Infante's single came against Los
Angeles newcomer Jason Grilli (0-3).
Pittsburgh traded its former closer to the
Angels on Friday.
Alex Gordon was hit by a pitch with one
out in the Kansas City ninth. Salvador
Perez followed with a grounder to short-
stop Erick Aybar, but his throw glanced off
Kendrick's error and sent Gordon to third.
Infante followed with his single.
Kole Calhoun led off the game with a
home run against Jeremy Guthrie. The
Angels added another run in the rst on
Cain's error in right eld, and Los Angeles
took a 3-0 lead into the fourth.
Albert Pujols opened the Angels sixth
with a hit to left eld and tried to stretch
it into a double. He jogged into second,
didn't slide and was thrown out by
Gordon.
Aybar homered later in the inning to
make it 4-all.
After the Angels loaded the bases with
two outs in the seventh, Kelvin Herrera
was summoned to face Pujols and retired
him on a y ball.
The Royals won challenges in the third
and fth inning and both resulted in
double plays being converted.
Cain's two-run double highlighted a
four-run fourth off C.J. Wilson.
Wilson faced 22 batters and 12 reached
base seven hits, four walks and a hit
batter in 3 2/3 innings. Angels starting
pitchers combined for only 11 2/3 innings
in the three-game series to create a work
overload for the bullpen.

R
egardless of the outcome this
United States Mens National
Team has in the 2014 World
Cup, we should all stop and look
at how far the United States soccer
team has come as country in the past
20 years.
Before 1990, the National Team
hadnt qualifed for a World Cup
since 1950. And even in 1990, the
team lost all three matches in the
group stage. Te sport was non-
existent in the United States.
I say 20 years, because soccer frst
hit the U.S. center stage when the
1994 World Cup was hosted in nine
cities around the nation. It was the
second consecutive World Cup the
U.S. qualifed for, and just the frst
time they had advanced past the
group stage.
And following 1994, the sport took
of from there. Major League Soccer
(MLS) formed in February 1995, and
began in 1996 with 10 teams. Today,
there are 19 teams, with two more to
be added in 2015.
But getting back to the United
States soccer team, for the past 20
years, soccer has opened doors
through their performances most
never thought would come. In 2010,
they won their group for the frst
time ever. As of Tursday, another
frst was captured. Tey advanced
to the knockout stage for the second
straight World Cup.
All U.S. soccer pioneers made this
type of achievement reachable, like
Landon Donovan and Carlos Bo-
canegra, whose fnal World Cup was
in 2010. Ten theres Clint Dempsey
and Tim Howard who very well may
be playing in their last World Cup
because their age.
Tese are the players that put the
U.S. on the map. Tey made a name
themselves and made a name for U.S.
soccer.
Now we sit here a day before one of
the biggest matches in U.S. history,
and we are expecting to win. Te
attitude of soccer has changed in the
States, as well as what other countries
think of when the see the name.
Te expectations are higher than
theyve ever been, and they will only
continue to rise. Who is to thank?
You can thank 20 years of soccer for
that. Its truly incredible to see how
far weve come.

NBA IQ didn't matter. Tere was a
moment of humanity and compas-
sion and it's something I'll remember
for the rest of my life.
Tis moment didnt happen around
Aaron Gordons media table, or
Dante Exums or even Andrew Wig-
gins. It didnt happen with any other
media members around. It didnt
even happen with an NBA prospect.
It happened afer the madness of the
day when I saw Isaiah Austin.
Less than a week ago, Austin was
projected to be a late frst-round
or early second-round draf pick.
Unfortunately, Austin was diagnosed
with Marfan syndrome just four days
before the draf. Austin will never
play the game he loves competitively
again.
According to the Mayo Clinic, Mar-
fan syndrome afects one in 5,000
people and is an inherited disorder
that commonly afects the heart,
eyes, circulatory system and skeleton.
Even though Austin will not be
selected by a team, NBA commis-
sioner Adam Silver invited Austin to
the draf as his special guest. When
media day ended, the ballroom
cleared out and I made my way to the
escalator to exit the building. On the
escalator going up, I saw Isaiah Aus-
tin with two other people he seemed
to be close with. Tats when I turned
around and went back up.
Ill never know exactly what
compelled me to say something to
him. I wanted Isaiah to know that I
appreciated him as a player. I wanted
to bring some light to a terrible situ-
ation. I wanted to let him know that
I admired everything he did on the
court for Baylor.
Isaiah, I said as he turned around.
Im a student at the University of
Kansas, and I just wanted to let you
know that you have always been
one of favorite players to watch.
Te memory of seeing you play on
the court is something I will never
forget.
Austin paused for a second and
replied, I cant even express to you
how much that means to me. He
smiled, and we shook hands.
Austin and the two people he was
with turned the corner and I made
my way back to the escalator.
Te amount of courage it takes for
someone in his shoes to show up to
the NBA draf and to media day is
incomprehensible. Tis is something
he has worked for his entire life only
for it to be taken away from him
at the fnal moment. And for him
to show up in support of his fellow
prospects is a lesson that everyone
can learn from. Its a rare moment in
the world of sports that goes beyond
the box score, a moment that really
moved me.
Te other prospects entering this
years draf have had very emotional
responses to Austins misfortune.
Its real difcult, former Kentucky
forward Julius Randle said. He was
always a top guy, there was never a
doubt he was going to play in the
NBA. It hurts me a lot to hear what
happened.
Isaiah Austin is dealing with this
situation with grace and bravery.
Two Saturdays ago, Austin tweeted
I would love to thank EVERYONE
who has reached out to me. Toughest
days of my life. But not the last! Life
goes on. GOD IS STILL GREAT!
Isaiah Austin displays character while facing adversity
Austin is a competitor, a grinder,
the type of player that demanded
on-court respect as soon as he laced
up his shoes. He has always been
considered a great person of the
court, but now Austin is someone to
be admired and looked up to.
Seeing the way Austin is handling
his situation makes you take a step
back from the rest of the world and
appreciate all the opportunities that
are given to you. I want to say thank
you to Isaiah Austin for one of the
most humbling and memorable
experiences of my life.
Everything happens for a reason,
and there is something bigger and
better out there waiting for Isaiah
Austin. And when he fnds it, he
will handle it with as much class and
professionalism as he does every-
thing else.
