LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury says quarterback Baker Mayfield’s knee has no structural damage after the freshman went down in the No. 20 Red Raiders’ win at Kansas. The first-year coach said Monday the injury doesn’t “appear to be a season-ending type.” Kingsbury said he’s not sure whether Mayfield will start or even play against Iowa State this week. Mayfield went down with seconds left in the third quarter of the 54-16 win. He hobbled very slowly off the field with someone helping him under each arm. He later left the field on crutches. He…

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) All but five of the 772 Kansas National Guard airmen and soldiers who were furloughed last week because of the partial federal government shutdown are being called back to work. The Kansas adjutant general’s office says Monday that the recalls come after the Department of Defense issued guidance over the weekend regarding which employees were covered by the federal furlough orders. Those five National Guard technicians who remain furloughed don’t meet the guidance for recalls as stated by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. However, Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, state adjutant general, says the 263 federally-funded state employees furloughed…
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Kansas Congressman Mike Pompeo says “this is the moment” to reduce the size of government. The Republican from Wichita made the comments Monday as he tries to shore up support back home for taking a conservative hard-line against reopening government or raising the debt ceiling without spending cuts.

He also claims there are not enough votes in the house to pass a clean continuing resolution to fund the government. Pompeo says the fight isn’t about what…
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) University of Kansas researchers have won a $2.5 million federal grant to develop a system to screen foster children for trauma. The screening tool will be used to create treatment plans to help children when they are young. The goal is to reduce the need for hospitalizations, incarcerations and other more costly expenses as the children grow older. There also will be a tracking mechanism that permits statewide, systems-level progress monitoring. The university says that few states have universal screening and assessment tools to deal with trauma in young children. The researchers hope that the Kansas system…
