The deep reds, yellows and oranges are produced when tem- peratures decline and the leaves cease to produce chlorophyll, the pigment that make leaves green and absorbs light for pho- tosynthesis. But after a summer of scarce rainfall, many trees are unhealthy and are not going through normal cycles. “There’ll be less foliage to turn color because some trees have dropped their leaves early,” said Jeffrey Dawson, professor emeri- tus in ACES. “So there won’t be a big peak altogether in the third week of October, which is more normal. (This) will lessen the overall impact and peak color dis- play at the end of October.” The leaves that do change ear- ly, though, will not necessarily contribute to the typical radiant display. Dawson said students should expect to see more yel- low and brown leaves this year. For autumn lovers, this lack of expected color is disappointing. “The leaves changing colors is really the trademark of this sea- son,” said Skye Maclean, member of October Lovers and junior in LAS. “The brilliance before death is what makes the season beauti- ful instead of depressing.” Darragh McDermott, pres- ident of October Lovers and senior in LAS, said she agreed that enhanced colors contribute to the anticipation of autumn. “I think it just gets everyone in the fall spirit when the leaves start to change,” she said. Callan McDermott, events coordinator for October Lovers and sophomore in AHS, said she hopes this absence of spirit will not deter students from partici- pating in the club’s events. “I think people will still be excited about the different events and hopefully still come out, even though the leaves haven’t changed,” she said. Callan McDermott has planned all of the same events for this season, and the RSO is still planning its annual trip to Cur- tis Apple Orchard. She predicted that this trip, scheduled for Oct. 7, is the only, if any, event to suf- fer a loss in attendance because “that’s the whole fun of it — the scenery — and it will be differ- ent now that the leaves aren’t changing.” However, Darragh McDer- mott does not see the less vibrant leaves as a hindrance to the club’s events. RSO celebrates Ghandi’s birthday, Indian culture BY ATOOSA SAYEH CONTRIBUTING WRITER The Indian Student Associ- ation will culminate its week- long celebration of Mahatma Gandhi’s 143 birthday Saturday . ISA held a series of events this week to honor Gandhi, whose birthday was Oct. 2. Karan Talati, president of ISA and senior in Engineering, said the main reason the group hosts Gandhi Week is to com- memorate the life of Gandhi and demonstrate how his principles have affected the world. Talati said Gandhi has been an inspi- ration to many people around the world, including Rev. Mar- tin Luther King Jr. and Presi- dent Barack Obama. As part of the week’s activi- ties, participants made a mural out of handprints to memorial- ize Gandhi, an ISA tradition. The group also hosted a fi lm screening of “Lage Raho Mun- na Bhai,” which covers Gandhi’s principles of nonviolence and truth. On Gandhi’s birthday, ISA did a mock walk of Gandhi’s Salt March in 1930 on the Quad. The march had been in protest of the national salt tax; Gandhi walked 240 miles on the march to obtain tax-free salt. The purpose of the mock walk was to help perpetu- ate Gandhi’s principles of non- violence in an interactive way. “The walk will help bring to life Gandhi’s dream of truth, nonviolence, service and love that can be used to bring about social change and lasting peace,” Talati said. Rebecca Elkayam, senior in Media and FAA, attended the walk and said it is important to celebrate Gandhi because of his impact on the world. “The fact that so many people can agree that he is a respect- able person is a good reason to celebrate the life of Gandhi,” Elkayam said. On Thursday, ISA joined sev- eral other organizations for the Illinois-Fast-A-Thon, a campus- wide day of fasting that serves to bring attention to world hun- ger. They sold T-shirts for $5 to raise funds for Syrian refugees. The week will end with Be the Change Day, a national day of service led by the national non- profit South Asian Americans Leading Together. The local event is sponsored by the Jain Student Association and was inspired by Gandhi’s famous words: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” “Not only is (Gandhi) a big part of Indian history, tradition and culture, but he also influ- enced a lot of people around the world,” Talati said. “We want to recognize him for Indians and non-Indians and remind people of the issues of poverty.” Atoosa can be reached at asayeh2@ dailyillini.com.

Lack of color expected in leaves this fallBY CHRISSY PAWLOWSKICONTRIBUTING WRITER
After the drought in Illinois this summer, trees on cam-pus are unlikely to trade their green exteriors for autumn col-ors as the leaves fall and change prematurely.
The deep reds, yellows and oranges are produced when tem-peratures decline and the leaves cease to produce chlorophyll, the pigment that make leaves green and absorbs light for pho-tosynthesis . But after a summer of scarce rainfall, many trees
are unhealthy and are not going through normal cycles.
“There’ll be less foliage to turn color because some trees have dropped their leaves early,” said Jeffrey Dawson, professor emeri-tus in ACES . “So there won’t be a big peak altogether in the third week of October, which is more normal. (This) will lessen the overall impact and peak color dis-play at the end of October.”
The leaves that do change ear-ly, though, will not necessarily contribute to the typical radiant display. Dawson said students
should expect to see more yel-low and brown leaves this year.
For autumn lovers, this lack of expected color is disappointing.
“The leaves changing colors is really the trademark of this sea-son,” said Skye Maclean , member of October Lovers and junior in LAS. “The brilliance before death is what makes the season beauti-ful instead of depressing.”
Darragh McDermott, pres-ident of October Lovers and senior in LAS , said she agreed that enhanced colors contribute to the anticipation of autumn.
“I think it just gets everyone in the fall spirit when the leaves start to change,” she said.
Callan McDermott, events coordinator for October Lovers and sophomore in AHS, said she hopes this absence of spirit will not deter students from partici-pating in the club’s events.
“I think people will still be excited about the different events and hopefully still come out, even though the leaves haven’t changed,” she said.
Callan McDermott has planned all of the same events for
this season, and the RSO is still planning its annual trip to Cur-tis Apple Orchard . She predicted that this trip, scheduled for Oct. 7, is the only, if any, event to suf-fer a loss in attendance because “that’s the whole fun of it — the scenery — and it will be differ-ent now that the leaves aren’t changing.”
However, Darragh McDer-mott does not see the less vibrant leaves as a hindrance to the club’s events.

CORRECTIONSIn Thursday’s edition of The
Daily Illini, the article “McKinley provides free fl u shots around campus” incorrectly quoted Robert Palinkas, director of McKinley Health Center, as saying that there are many people on campus who “have a fatal reaction from the fl u.” The article should have quoted Palinkas as saying “a campus this large has many people who could die from the fl u.” In Palinkas’ 11 years working at McKinley, he has known of no deaths directly or indirectly from the fl u.

Illinois Student Senate welcomes new interns BY CORINNE RUFFSTAFF WRITER
The Illinois Student Senate welcomed 25 interns to the stu-dent government. The yearlong internship program matches new students interested in cam-pus politics with current sena-tors and members of the execu-tive board to show them what ISS is all about.
Brock Gebhardt, student body president , said he has fi ve interns this year.
“My staff members get to do just about everything,” he said. “They have meetings with administrators (and) other stu-dents, learn to make policy, how the constitution and bylaws are set up, learn to do research, how to coordinate events and write correspondents.”
Intern duties can vary based on whom an intern works for, Gebhardt said. His interns are divided among four categories : public engagement, government liaison, legislative affairs and intercampus affairs.
Sarah Hochman , freshman in ACES, said she is interning with Gebhardt and currently learning about offi ce operations.
“I’m learning about the exec-utive board and how they work with the senate as a whole,” she said. “I’m getting a feel for how behind-the-scenes works. I’m
learning when things need to get in by and how the agendas are set. It’s a very cool process that not a lot of people get to see.”
Hochman aspires to work with environmental public pol-icy through the government in the future, and she believes her experiences as an ISS intern will help her pursue her career goals.
“This experience is going to bring me a great opportunity where I can see my own leader-ship skills take off and also learn about government,” she said.
During her time at the Uni-versity, Hochman hopes to work more with committees and become a senator by junior year.
“One of my goals is to get involved with public and foreign policy and to learn how ISS can apply to the real world,” she said.
Scott Grubczak , freshman in DGS, is also interning with Geb-hardt. He was involved in the attorney program at his high school and knew student govern-ment was something he wanted to continue in college.
“I applied so I could meet new people and make connections,” he said. “I plan on running for a position in spring, so learning characteristics to become a good senator will help me, so I’m not a fi sh out of water.”
Right now, Grubczak said he is researching other student
governments in the country and issues they are working on.
“Personally I want to build com-munication skills through individ-uals in ISS and different people, doing tasks to benefi t the student body as the whole,” he said.
Interns are an important part of student government because they help ISS connect to other campus organizations and reach a wider campus community, Gebhardt said. Interns make up the inter-nal policy council and meet each Sunday at 4 p.m. to discuss campus issues. Gebhardt said getting the point of view of an outsider who doesn’t understand all aspects of the senate is very benefi cial and makes sure the senate runs well.
“We meet and discuss ideas,” he said. “Some aren’t feasible, but we decide which we can tack-le and ultimately pursue, create a tentative plan and go on from there.”
He said he wants his interns to be equipped with the knowledge to change things on campus.
“I’m hoping at the end of the program, they will be able to come up with an idea on making campus better,” he said. “They will know how to write it, commu-nicate it and get in touch with the people who can make it happen.”

Dispute sparked over former munition site cleanup planBY BEN FOXTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The U.S. government has a new fi ght in Vieques, the Puerto Rican island that was used as a Navy bombing range for decades.
An extensive cleanup of the eastern portion of Vieques is years from being fi nished, but the gov-ernment says it is ready to declare work completed on a nearly 400-acre site on the western side that was used to store and detonate expired munitions.
The former storage site was turned over to the U.S. Interior Department and declared a nature reserve. Under a proposal favored by the Navy, the cleanup of the area would be deemed complete even though about 200 acres has not been cleared of munitions debris, some potentially still live.
That has sparked outrage among activists and offi cials in Vieques and the main island of Puerto Rico who favor a com-plete removal of all debris. And it has brought back some of the angry rhetoric that helped force an end to Vieques’ use as a bomb-ing range in 2003.
“It’s not a cleanup. It is an affront to Puerto Ricans that those responsible for the explo-sives would refuse to remove
them,” Maria de Lourdes Santia-go, a vice president of the Puerto Rico Independence Party and a candidate for the U.S. territory’s Senate, said Thursday.
Navy offi cials say it would hurt the nature reserve by tearing up the dense vegetation to clear the remainder of the debris.
Opponents suspect the plan may have more to do with the cost of cleaning up all the debris, esti-mated at $50 million.
Jorge Fernandez Porto, director of the territorial Senate’s natural resources commission and a mem-ber of a citizen advisory board that monitors the Navy cleanup of Vieques, said he fears a partial removal of debris will set a prec-edent for other parts of the island.
“You found this clean, you can’t just give it back full of bombs,” Fernandez said. “I’m sorry if it’s costly. You should have thought about that before. Now you want to do the cheap version and leave the bombs there.”
A public comment period on the proposal ends Friday, at which point it will be under review by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Before the area became a nature reserve, the military would dig open pits and burn expired 20-milimeter rounds, and occa-
sionally unexploded rounds were scattered in the surrounding brush.
Under the plan favored by the Navy, the area that has not been cleared of munitions debris would be enclosed by a barbed-wire fence to prevent people from scavenging for potentially explo-sive scrap metal and souvenirs, said Kevin Cloe, a manager of the cleanup project.
Other parts of the reserve would be open to the public, but the entire area has long been des-ignated as a natural reserve and the government never intended for the public to have full access, Cloe said.
Vieques, which is ringed by clear blue waters and pristine beaches that have made it a pop-ular tourist destination in recent years, was used as a bombing range from the 1940s until the government agreed to give it up in 2003 after years of angry protests.
The U.S. has removed more than 16.5 million pounds of munitions, but the cleanup of the old bomb-ing range on the island’s eastern portion is expected to run through at least 2025. The full cleanup of Vieques, one of the most extensive rehabilitation efforts ever under-taken by the Navy, is budgeted at around $350 million.
Turkey takes military action against Syria after bomb kills 5 near borderBY MEHMET GUZELAND SUZAN FRASERTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AKCAKALE, Turkey — Tur-key sanctioned further mili-tary action against Syria on Thursday and bombarded tar-gets across the border with artillery for a second day, rais-ing the stakes in a confl ict that increasingly is bleeding outside Syrian territory.
Although both sides moved to calm tensions, Turkey’s parlia-ment overwhelmingly approved a bill allowing the military to conduct cross-border operations into Syria — making clear that Ankara has military options that do not involve its Western or Arab allies.
It was the most dramatic escalation in tensions between the countries, which were close allies before the revolt against Syrian President Bashar Assad began in March 2011. Over the past 18 months, however, Tur-key has become one of the strongest critics of the Syrian regime, accusing it of savage-ry and massacres against the opposition.
The rebels who are trying to bring down Assad have used Turkey as their base, enrag-ing a regime that accuses for-eign countries of fomenting the unrest inside Syria.
The spark for the latest hostil-ity was a mortar shell fi red from Syria that slammed into a house in the Turkish border village of Akcakale on Wednesday, killing two women and three children.
“(The shell) hit my neighbor next door. His wife, his chil-dren died,” villager Bakir Kutl-ugil said . “Now I worry whether the next one will hit me or my neighbor.”

An unexploded ordinance is blown up in a controlled demolition at the former Vieques Naval Training Range, on Vieques island, Puerto Rico, on April 17, 2008. An extensive cleanup of Vieques is under way, and the Navy says it's close to fi nishing work on a former munitions disposal site on the island.
views were conducted in Span-ish. She said immigrants or non-native English speakers may not know their rights because their comprehension in English is not up to the level needed to under-stand government documents about workers’ rights.
The study also addresses wage violations — such as pay-ing workers below minimum wage or not paying workers for overtime — and workplace safety violations. Some of the violations included not having a sheltered place for employees to take meal breaks, not provid-ing free and safe drinking water to employees, and not providing personal protective equipment. More than 80 percent of work-ers surveyed were not provid-
ed such equipment nor received information on hazards by their employer.
Other legal violations by employers included paying employees in cash without keep-ing a payroll.
Rob Bubb is the manager of Triple T Car Wash & Lube in Champaign.
“We take (safety violations) very seriously. We provide MSDS (material safety data sheets), we comply with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requirements, and we train our people very, very diligently with regard to safety in the work environ-ment,” he said.
Bubb said the car wash holds meetings at least twice a year to discuss safety, and the business makes sure to hand out person-al protective equipment to all employees.
Derrick Winfi eld, owner of Above and Beyond Auto Detail-ing in Urbana, said the study “doesn’t have much (effect on his business) because we wear gloves and safety glasses.”
Employees wear the safety glasses mainly because they often have to buff cars, he said. He also said some vehi-cles come in with vomit or food spilled in the interior, and “you don’t have to (wear gloves), but I prefer them to use gloves and an apron.”
Winfi eld said there are no OSHA regulations he has to abide because his staff is small, but he has a fi rst-aid kit and makes sure his workers follow daily rules, like washing their hands after using chemicals or after using the restroom.

Morse said the I-STARs also want to get the prospective stu-dents more involved and make this a memorable experience. The I-STARs will take the stu-dents to the south side of Foel-linger Auditorium to show them the echo spot.
They will then tell the students to shout “I-L-L” to hear the echo of other students yelling back “I-N-I.”
Sam Barghi, I-STAR and senior in LAS, said a major focus of the tours is Illini pride.
“If you see a tour guide, yell out, ‘I-L-L,’ and they will respond, ‘I-N-I,’” he said. “It would be real-ly cool to expand that and show prospective students how friend-ly everyone is.”
He said Orange and Blue Days tend to bring the most students to campus at once.
On many of the large tours, such as Orange and Blue Days, guides will have vouchers for vis-itors so they can eat at the Iken-berry Dining Hall. Krista Haas, student worker at Ikenberry Din-ing Hall, said it gets hectic and a bit overwhelming on those days, but it all manages to work out. There is always enough food for
everyone and the chefs are pre-pared, because they know when large tours will be coming.
Amber Kramme, coordina-tor of campus visits, said in an email that all students, not just I-STARs, should be trying to make a good impression on visitors.
“The I-STARs are incredi-bly dedicated to welcoming our visitors to campus, but we hope that every student on this cam-pus recognizes the importance of attracting the most highly quali-fi ed students,” Kramme said.

“(The leaves are) a nice reminder of the fall spirit, but I don’t think that the leaves are the entire spirit of fall or why we love October so much,” Darragh McDermott said.
Because the changing trees are not solely responsible for cre-ating the spirit of the season, she does not expect event attendance to drop.
“I don’t think attendance will decrease this year,” Darragh McDermott said. “If anything, I
hope it increases. We’ll just have to make up for what the leaves lack.”
But the leaves may not be com-pletely lacking. Dawson said that while the trees may not be as bril-liant as in years past, the cam-pus will still see a slight change in color.
“There’ll be some color, but it probably won’t be among the most spectacular of years,” he said.
In order to see more colorful leaves in October, the weather would have to consist of warm-er, sunnier days paired with cool nights.
Continuous rain or storms would only impair the changing colors further, according to the USDA’s website.
While the summer drought negatively affected the season directly following it, there are no expected long-term ramifi ca-tions for trees.
“The trees may be a little lack-ing in vigor the following spring, but after that, it depends on the weather conditions next year,” Dawson said. “There shouldn’t be any permanent damage to trees.”

The New York Post reported that in Connecticut, a father, Jef-frey Giuliano, accidentally shot
and killed his son, thinking that he was an assailant. The 15-year-old boy was seen lurking outside of his aunt’s house wearing a ski mask and carrying a weapon of some kind. His aunt, not knowing it was her nephew, called her brother to come to her aid as she described that someone was attempting to break into her house.
Though the young boy’s exact motives were unclear, some sort of exchange took place between the masked boy and his father, and the scene ended with Giuliano fearing for his life, shooting the boy. Only later did Giuliano learn that the dead stranger was his son. These devastating events display how too often people act out of fear and emotional instinct instead of using logic as a means to dictate actions.
No parent should have to deal with the death of a child, let alone a death that resulted from an acci-dent of his own hand. Giuliano cannot be blamed for his actions because his response is something that society has taught to all of us: kill or be killed. This is a trag-ic accident that could have been completely avoided had a different response played out.
Unfortunately, this fearful inter-play between a man and his son is a clear representation of Ameri-can ideology. As Americans, we are quite literally jumping the gun and responding to situations with a defensive and self-preserving atti-tude that can end only in violence, but again, that is the response that our government and media have
taught us. Even locally at the Uni-versity, our email inboxes are bom-barded regularly with alerts about attacks and assaults, which fur-ther demonstrates how fear can be transformed into violence against others.
Instead of using rational thought to make a correct judgment on a situation, people are simply act-ing thoughtlessly in a fearful man-ner that is both harmful to them-selves and to those they act upon. It is imperative that reason and logic take precedence over fear and anxi-ety because fear will only lead to hysteria.
Though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where this aggres-sive response began, one pivotal event that comes to mind is the 9/11 tragedy, which even 11 years later haunts our memo-ries. The govern-ment’s responses to the attack, though appropriate at the time, have left scars on the Amer-ican psyche, which have proved diffi-cult to heal.
For me, one of the most distin-guishable effects of the attack is the emergence of a mind-set cen-tered on the idea that we are always under attack and must constantly be defending ourselves, whether this is at a national or personal lev-el. This was perhaps the mentality of Giuliano when he accidentally killed his own son — the idea that anyone and everyone is a threat, no matter the circumstances.
The problem with this thinking
is that it is a perspective perpetu-ated by fear. And until recently, the government has sustained this level of fear in people by advocating for an aggressive approach in regards to foreign policy, under the guise of protecting our homeland security. Through the use of the media, the government argued that our coun-try had to be aggressive in protect-ing our safety after the terrorist attacks, and this mentality trick-
led down to the local level where increased dis-trust of individuals prevailed.
Fortunately, the government is tak-ing an active role in adjusting this American men-tality of fear by advocating that the time to be aggres-sive has passed and threats against us have decreased. For example, with the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya last month, the government is emphasizing how it was an attack that had been planned and plotted, not a direct result of a film that mocked
Islam. The goal of the govern-ment’s response is to seek justice, not to place American lives at risk.
Though this is a step in the right direction, more work needs to be done to appease the minds of Amer-icans. Though we must be mindful of our safety at all times, the time to obsess and worry about our wel-fare is over, and the time to be rea-sonable is now.

R eality television shows are often dramatic and entertain-ing, and they tend to exploit
the lives of their cast members. So when TLC first presented the show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” the obnoxious antics of this Georgia family weren’t surprising. While the show seems slightly more dis-turbing because of the young age of its star, I can appreciate the openness and realness of the fam-ily. From farting to burping, this family is not afraid to let it all hang out and brings truth to the word reality. This is a truth that has gone missing from reality TV.
“Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” centers on the life of 6-year-old beauty pageant queen Ala-na Thompson, or Honey Boo Boo. Thompson’s former stint on TLC’s “Toddlers & Tiaras” granted her a spin-off. The show focuses on her beauty pageant journey as well as striving to display the importance of their simple glam-free life in McIntyre, Ga. The cast features her mother and father, June Shan-non and Mike Thompson — Sugar Bear — as well as Alana’s three sisters. The family consists of self-proclaimed rednecks and has even coined popular terms such as “You better redneckognize” or Alana’s coined phrase, “A dolla makes me holla!”
TLC has been criticized for the exploitation of this little girl, her family, Mike and June’s lack of parenting and the portrayal of cer-tain stereotypes, but this is the type of reality TV show we need.
Joy Behar from “The View” slammed Alana’s weight, saying: “What’s little Honey Boo Boo going to grow up to be? That’s what I want to know. She’s going to be a fat kid; she’s going to grow up to be a big fat woman.” Residents of McIntyre are also criticizing the family, saying they are shedding negative light on small-town life and their town, specifically.
The Washington Post’s pop cul-ture journalist and critic Hank Stuever praised Honey Boo Boo, saying, “She’s a Shirley Temple for this ceaseless Great Recession!” But he also went on to mention that “Alana has been raised to express herself in the urban patois of real-ity TV’s black women,” basically saying there may be an underlying theme of racism in the show.
Yes, it is clear that Mama June and Sugar Bear need to reassess their parenting skills. With all the head rolling, finger snapping and sassiness of Honey Boo Boo’s per-sona, Stuever’s commentary isn’t far-fetched, but critics are miss-ing the positive messages this show presents.
What critics don’t understand is that reality television nowadays is as superficial as can be and lacks true and relatable storylines. The characters of these shows too often spend large amounts of money on things they don’t need, argue over things that don’t matter and glorify a life of stupidity.
Even through her glam beauty pageant life, the only thing Hon-ey Boo Boo and her family strive to glorify is the importance of being comfortable in your skin.
There are a range of negative opinions on Honey Boo Boo, but viewers should appreciate the mud rolling, go-go juice drinking and “sketti” eating antics of this family. Although the family may seem to fulfill many stereotypes, their honesty and complete com-fort with themselves is what makes this family likeable.
Other reality television shows tend to center on the superfi-cial themes of fame, money, par-tying and sex. And though the beauty pageant element is some-thing that can be classified in the previous categories, the cast of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” legitimizes and reinforces the importance of enjoying and lead-ing a simple life.
In a way, it’s something we can all relate to.
Many of us may find it obnox-ious and nontraditional to roll around in mud, make farting noises or openly squeeze our bellies, but viewers who closely watch “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” will learn that this nontra-ditional, real and loving fam-ily represents and possesses a happiness and contentment that many people are missing.

Campus cycling citations are a long time coming
In the Oct. 3, 2012, edition of The Daily Illini, the editorial, “Police should postpone cyclist crackdown until further infrastructure built” put forward an unworthy piece of logic similar to that which would have us believe a woman cannot get pregnant from a legitimate rape.
The push to promote cycling is that of a true patriot, sacrificing effort to diminish our dependence on cars. The effort to promote cycling is that of a true healer, sacrificing comfort in all weather, to follow what doctors all over the world prescribe to fight most all that ails us. However, the piece of logic presented in that edi-torial dishonors those efforts.
The hypothesis that ticketing should happen whenever the infra-structure for biking is complete assumes irreverent behavior is sole-ly to do with infrastructure. That is not the case.
It is a simple and obvious disregard for rules that leads a driver to go the wrong way down the street. It is a serious safety hazard for a vehicle to turn, only to suddenly face head-on traffic.
The hypothesis that “no amount of citations, warnings or tickets will
solve the problem” is the same argu-ment people used many years ago regarding safety belts.
In the last 15 years, the only tickets I’ve heard of issued to cyclists are to those who have no other choice but to ride on the outskirts of town, going near a nice neighborhood on their way to a factory job.
We need officers in rotation in spots issuing warnings for going the wrong way down the street in con-gested areas during the day. And, in the evening for the lack of light.
It’s long overdue for some repeated warnings on campus.
Any parent that complains their child has received two warnings in the same place for the same indiffer-ence to safety should hang their head in shame. What they ought to be con-cerned about is if they have enough liability coverage should their child cause an accident.
Why has the cyclist community not addressed the issue of liability and insurance with students? Do they have any idea of the risk and proce-dure to follow?
I agree the problem has been years in the making. Many of those promot-ing cycling have not had experience in traffic driving or enforcement.

RSOs should not fund hatred I find it appalling that the Universi-
ty can allow such offensive things as “Blasphemy Day” and “de-baptizing” people. I understand that people have free speech, and I am all for that. However, registered student organi-zation money better not be spent sup-porting such activities.
I don’t care if you are drawing pictures of Muhammad, de-baptiz-ing people or whatever; the activi-ties are speaking in the name of hate. Their purpose is to annoy people and to make them mad while claiming that they have the right to do so. I can only imagine the outrage if such hate was projected upon other policies.
Would the University support a Day of Israeli Hate or a Day of Palestinian Hate? Hate messages should not be accepted regardless of who the recipi-ent is — atheist, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, etc. Why can’t we all just step back and accept each others’ opinions instead of dedicating a day to anger-ing and offending masses of people?
I have never seen RSO funds going toward the free baptism for anyone on the Quad, and I hope I never do. Just as I hope no RSO funds support any group that would provide “de-baptizing” ceremonies.

T here is no question that Illinois fans are frustrated.
After firing a coach who led the football
team to six consecutive loss-es last season, fans expect-ed a new era. And what they received was a young, inexpe-rienced coach who may be a little in over his head.
The 47-year-old Tim Beck-man has never coached in a Bowl Championship Series conference — a compilation of all the best teams and divi-sions, the Big Ten included, and only had three years of head coaching experience before this season.
Both wins for Illinois (2-3) were blowouts against teams of an undeniably lower cali-ber; the three losses have also been blowouts against some-what competitive teams. The remainder of the season, how-ever, is not going to get any easier for Illinois, as con-ference play has just begun. Some football analysts pre-dict the Illini only winning one or two of the seven games left this season. Illinois would not be eligible for a bowl game if that were to happen. Amid last season’s six-loss streak, some argued that at least former head coach Ron Zook led the team to a bowl game last season.
It is important for all fans, students and alums to recog-nize Beckman’s lack of expe-rience and that Illinois may not reach a bowl game, though there are still seven games left in the season. Already across the blogosphere, sects of critics and fans alike have contemplated the idea that Beckman deserves to be fired for his performance so early in the season.
It is still too early to declare the season a failure.
Instead of focusing on the entirety of the losses, it’s important to note the way in which the Illini have lost. They have not remained com-petitive, demonstrated by their losing margins of 28 or more points.
As a Big Ten school, fans should expect a more com-petitive team. Especially when you survey what play-ers returned this season, Illi-nois did not lose a significant amount of seniors.
Fans should and can demand better football.
Yes, no one can expect Beckman to swoop in and save the day in five games, let alone an entire season. Illi-nois won its last Big Ten title in 2001, and since then it has had only three seasons when it won more than half of its games.
It is going to take time — years, maybe — to develop a new culture for Illinois to become a competitive football program.
What Beckman can do now, however, is continue with his plans of changing the football culture, fostering a positive environment for his players to learn and grow, and pushing them to their limits, athleti-cally and mentally. The Illini are capable — they just need the direction a head coach is supposed to give.

Students shout slogans near a banner that reads “Shame on you” in front of the National Museum in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, on Thursday. Bosnia’s 124 year-old National Museum closed its doors Thursday thanks to disputes among politicians and dwindling state funding.
Bosnia’s national museum closes due to low fundingBY AIDA CERKEZTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herze-govina — It survived the breakup of the Austrian empire, two world wars, the longest city siege in modern history, and a bloody war in the 1990s that killed 100,000 people. Yet after 124 years, Bos-nia’s National Museum closed its doors Thursday because of dwin-dling state funding and disputes among rival ethnic groups.
Having not received their sala-ries for a year, employees gath-ered at the fountain in the muse-um’s botanical garden and threw
a coin into it, making a wish that the institution will reopen soon. Then they left the building in downtown Sarajevo, the Bos-nian capital, and nailed wooden boards that read “closed” across its front door.
Museum director Adnan Busu-ladzic said he has lost hope that politicians will solve the problem any time soon.
“There are two opposing ideas on how this country should be organized,” Busuladzic explained. “This society is at war over those ideas and nobody cares about a museum.”
This museum and six other insti-tutions that are the custodians of Bosnia’s national heritage — and care for precious medieval man-uscripts, religious relicts and nat-ural history artifacts — are vic-tims of the 1995 peace agreement that ended Bosnia’s war. The deal split the Balkan nation along eth-nic lines into two semi-autonomous parts linked by a weak central gov-ernment and guided by a constitu-tion that did not envisaged a min-istry of culture.

New archbishop of San Francisco jokes about drunken driving arrestBY LISA LEFFTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The new Roman Catholic archbishop of San Francisco assumed offi ce Thurs-day without referring to the dis-tress his appointment has aroused in this gay-friendly city, but offer-ing self-deprecating jokes about his recent drunken driving arrest.
Archbishop Salvatore Joseph Cordileone, wearing gold and red robes with a matching miter, told an audience of more than 2,000 invited guests at his installation mass that he was grateful for the messages of support he had received from people of different
religious and political viewpoints following the Aug. 25 arrest in his home town of San Diego.
“I know in my life God has always had a way of putting me in my place. I would say, though, that in the latest episode of my life, God has outdone himself,” Cordileone said with a chuckle as he delivered his fi rst homily as archbishop.
The 56-year-old priest, the sec-ond-youngest U.S. archbishop, went on to say he did not know “if it’s theologically correct to say God has a way of making him-self known in this way” and asked for the indulgence of other high-
ranking church leaders in the audience.
The connection, he said, was that the compassion he was shown “in the wake of the regrettable mistake I made to drive after drinking” made him hopeful the Bay Area’s Catholic community has the tools it needs to be part of a broader rebuilding of the church.
As Cordileone spoke, about three dozen gay rights advocates gathered outside St. Mary’s Cathe-dral to protest his induction oppo-site a much larger group singing hymns of welcome for the new archbishop.
Fungal meningitis linked to steroid shotsBY MARILYNN MARCHIONETHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Two people blinded in Washing-ton, D.C., in 2005. Three dead in Virginia in 2006, and three more in Oregon the following year. In 2009, 21 dead polo horses in Florida. Ear-lier this year, 33 people in seven states with fungal eye infections.
And now, at least fi ve people dead and 35 sickened with fungal meningitis that has been linked to steroid shots for back pain.
All these disasters involved medicines that had been custom-mixed at what are called “com-pounding pharmacies” — labo-ratories that supply hospitals, clinics and doctors to a much wider degree in the U.S. than many peo-ple realize.
These pharmacies mix solu-tions, creams and other medi-cines used to treat everything from menopause symptoms and back pain to vision loss and cancer.
Unlike manufactured drugs, these products are not subject to approval by the Food and Drug Administration. And some have turned out to be dangerously contaminated.
Compounding pharmacies often obtain drugs from manu-facturers and then split them into smaller doses or mix ingredients sold in bulk. Any of those steps can easily lead to contamination if sterile conditions aren’t main-tained. For example, the fungus suspected in the current men-
ingitis outbreak can spread in the air.
The risks from these products have long been known but are being amplifi ed now by a national shortage of many drugs that has forced doctors to seek custom-made alternatives to the usual fi rst-choice treatments. The ste-roid suspected in the current out-break has been in short supply.
“Because of the incredible number of drugs that are out of stock or back-ordered, com-pounding pharmacies are work-ing with local hospitals, clinics and physicians to fi ll that gap,” said David Miller, executive vice president of the International Academy of Compounding Phar-macists, a trade organization.

NEW YORK — Big Bird has never been so hot.
“Saturday Night Live,” Jimmy Fallon, Piers Morgan, the “Today” show and “Good Morning Ameri-ca” all asked for appearances from the “Sesame Street” character on Thursday after he was unexpect-edly thrust into the presidential campaign by Mitt Romney.
Sesame Workshop says the giant yellow Muppet is declining all appearances, but there was this tweet from Big Bird on the Sesame Street account: “My bed time is usually 7:45, but I was really tired yesterday and fell asleep at 7! Did I miss anything last night?”
Yes, Bird. During Wednes-day’s debate with President Barack Obama, Romney called for cutting federal funding to PBS, despite saying, “I love Big Bird.” It renewed a long-running debate over subsidies to public broadcasting.
“I’m going to stop the subsidy to PBS,” the former Massachusetts governor, a Republican, said dur-ing a deficit-cutting discussion. “I’m going to stop other things. I like PBS. I love Big Bird. I actu-ally like you, too, Jim (Lehrer, PBS newsman and debate moder-ator). But I’m not going to ... keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for it.”
PBS chief Paula Kerger said she “just about fell off the sofa”
when the issue suddenly came up during the debate. She said that if the subsidy goes, so will some PBS stations.
Federal funding for the Corpora-tion for Public Broadcasting totals $450 million this year, accounting for about 15 percent of the CPB’s budget, she said. Federal money supplements the budgets of PBS’ 179 stations nationally. For some of the smaller stations in rural areas, this subsidy accounts for more than half of its yearly budget, so many can’t operate without it.
Considering Romney stressed the importance of education, she said she hopes he realizes the extent of educational program-ming that PBS offers. Four out of five children under age 5 watch public television, where “Sesame Street” is a long-running hit, she said.
“To me, public television is like mom and apple pie,” she said. “Maybe it’s because I’m just too close to it. Maybe it’s because I talk to so many people for whom public television is a lifeline.”
But public broadcasting fund-ing has been a frequent target of congressional Republicans, who believe PBS and National Public Radio favor liberal points of view.
“It is demoralizing to have our work put in the middle of this debate,” Kerger said. “We don’t belong here.”
The issue quickly became a hot topic on social media, where Twitter reported a peak of 17,000 tweets per second about Big Bird. The hashtag #SaveBigBird quick-ly sprouted up.
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof tweeted: “Hey, I figured out how Romney will
balance the budget: sale of TV rights to broadcast the decapita-tion of Big Bird.”
For several years, “Sesame Street” has produced videos and other materials for the Pentagon to help children deal with par-ents’ absences during tours of duty as well as other stresses suf-fered by the children of troops. Asked at a Pentagon briefing whether the Defense Department wants to see its relationship with the program continue, press sec-retary George Little sidestepped the question.
“I will say that we’ve had a long-lasting and effective part-nership with ‘Sesame Street’ and they have supported mili-tary children,” Little said.””But I’m not going to get into politics here — I wouldn’t want to ruffle any feathers, so to speak.”

ST. LOUIS — The nation’s worst drought in decades is showing no sign of letting up in several key Midwest farming states, worrying farmers har-vesting the summer’s withered corn crop in record time that their winter crops may also be at risk.
Overall drought conditions in the lower 48 states held steady over the seven-day period end-ing Tuesday, with about one-fifth of the total land area in extreme or exceptional drought, the two worst classifications, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor’s weekly update of its drought map released Thursday.
Conditions worsened, though, in Kansas and Iowa, the nation’s biggest corn producer, and near-ly 98 percent of Nebraska was still deemed to be in one of the two worst categories.
The unrelenting dryness won’t have much effect on the region’s corn and soybean crops, which are already being plucked from the fields. But it could hurt other crops, such as winter wheat.
According to the map, which is put out by the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, 75 percent of Iowa is enduring extreme or exception-al drought. That’s up roughly 10 percentage points from the pre-vious week.
Just over 93.25 percent of Kansas was in the same predic-ament, which was an increase of roughly 5 percentage points.
As of Monday, 54 percent of the corn crop had been brought in from the fields — the fastest pace in at least 17 years due to early planting and nearly three times the previous five-year average of 20 percent by this time, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported. Some 56 percent of the corn crop in Iowa has been harvested, while Illi-nois has brought in 71 percent and Missouri 88 percent.
Half of the U.S. corn crop is classified as being in poor or very poor shape, essentially unchanged from a week earli-er, the USDA said. A year ago, 20 percent of corn in the fields was listed that way.
Forty-one percent of the U.S. soybean crops have been har-vested — double the pace of the average of the previous half decade — with one-third con-sidered poor or very poor, the USDA said.
The USDA reported Monday that emergence of winter wheat was lagging, given the extreme-ly dry conditions that could keep that rotational crop from prop-erly germinating. Just five per-cent of that crop had emerged in South Dakota, down sharply from 32 percent over the pre-vious five years. Similar issues were reported in Nebraska, Col-orado, Montana and Oregon.

NEW YORK — Scientists have turned mouse skin cells into eggs that produced baby mice — a technique that, if successfully applied to humans, could some-day allow women to stop worry-ing about the ticking of their bio-logical clocks and perhaps even help couples create “designer babies.”
For technical as well as ethical reasons, nobody expects doctors will be making eggs from wom-en’s skin cells any time soon. But some see possibilities and ques-tions about its use.
Some experts say it could help millions of women who don’t have working eggs of their own, wheth-er because of a medical condition or cancer treatment, or because they are too old.
“It could mean the reproduc-tive clock doesn’t tick for women anymore,” said Hank Greely, a Stanford University law profes-sor who studies the implications of biomedical technologies.
“I think it’s a pretty large advance in the next generation of reproductive technologies for women,” said Amander Clark, who studies egg development at
the University of California, Los Angeles. Discussion about policy and regulation “needs to begin now.”
The mice experiments were reported online Thursday in the journal Science by scientists at Kyoto University in Japan. The same group had previously reported work with male mouse cells that led to sperm.
In the new work, they began with genetically reprogrammed skin cells from female fetal mice. The reprogramming technique, discovered several years ago, makes an ordinary cell revert to a kind of blank slate, so it can be chemically prodded to develop into any kind of cell.
The Japanese researchers turned these cells into an early-stage version of eggs. Then they mixed them with mouse ovari-an cells and implanted them into mice. Four weeks later they col-lected immature eggs, matured and fertilized them in the labo-ratory, and placed them into sur-rogate mother mice. The result: three baby mice, which grew into fertile adults.
That procedure is too cum-bersome to be adapted direct-ly for human use, experts said,
and study co-author Katsuhiko Hayashi said in an email that it is also too inefficient. What’s more, he and others said, biological dif-ferences between mice and peo-ple would have to be overcome before some version of the tech-nique could be applied to women.
Starting with an adult’s cells rather than fetal cells would probably work, experts said. But scientists would also have to learn more about how women form eggs, which is largely a mys-tery, some said.
The hurdles are so big that some experts are skeptical about ever using the approach in people. “I don’t think there’s a lot of clini-cal potential here,” said David Albertini, who has studied the development of eggs at the Uni-versity of Kansas.
Others are more optimis-tic but say it won’t be easy. A human therapy is in “the quite far future,” Hayashi said. Clark said it would take at least a decade.
Greely, the Stanford law pro-fessor, speculated that in 20 to 40 years, the technique might make couples more likely to go through test-tube fertilization just so they could choose characteristics of their babies. That is because donating skin cells to make eggs is a lot easier than going through the medical and surgical proce-dure of having one’s own eggs harvested, which is what some women do now.
In the future, Greely said, cou-
ples could create eggs and then have the resulting embryos ana-lyzed genetically. Then they could choose which embryos they wish to have implanted on the basis of that analysis, which by that date might be able to indicate not only disease risk but also a variety of normal traits such as eye color and or a propensity for certain talents, he said.
Some others, however, said they doubt that practice would become widespread.
“I don’t think there’s a huge market for it,” said Debra Mathews of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics.
“And people are not going to stop having sex.”
The technique also raises a host of medical and ethical concerns.
“I would be worried about the safety of trying to make kids this way,” said Lawrence Goldstein, director of the stem cell pro-gram at the University of Cali-fornia, San Diego. “It seems like an experiment on those kids.”
It would also be complicat-ed and expensive, adding to the question of whether it would real-ly be a good way to treat infertil-ity, he said.
He and others also said soci-ety will have to decide how much
government regulation would be needed, both for the initial research in humans and its rou-tine use by doctors.
For example, the new work moves scientists closer to the possibility of tinkering with genes that would affect not only one person but also be inherit-ed by future generations, which has long been controversial, said Dr. George Daley of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. And basic research with such eggs could mean making and destroying human embryos in the lab, which many people oppose.

Despite sweeping a weekend series with John Carroll last week, the Illini were dropped in the ACHA rankings from No. 13 to 14.
But Illinois (3-0-1) has high hopes that it can improve its standing in the rankings this weekend, with the 10th Annual ACHA Men’s Division One Showcase in Springfield. The Showcase is a three-day event providing the Illini with an opportunity to prove them-selves against Western Michi-gan, No. 17 Stony Brook and No. 12 Davenport.
“We’re playing teams we don’t normally play at a neu-tral site,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “It’s a good opportunity to move up in the (ACHA) rankings if we can win all three.”
The tournament spans three days, and the Illini will be bussing each day to and from Springfield. The com-bined travel and clustered schedule of the games will require each team to show off their depth, a prospect that excites Fabbrini. Especially now, early in the season, he said he wants to work everyone into the game and prepare the team for longer tournaments and the grind of the season.
“We like to play all four lines,” Fabbrini
said. “That helps us stay fresh. A lot of teams in our league can’t play four lines.”
As for the Illini’s opponents, Western Michi-gan (0-3-0) had a brutal opening weekend to the year. Friday and Saturday saw the Stal-lions get crushed at home twice by Daven-port, 11-3 and 11-2, while Sunday provided no relief as in-state rival Michigan State dropped Western Michigan 9-2. Illinois split a pair of
games against the Spartans two weeks ago.
The games against the Stal-lions were the only contests of the year thus far for Dav-enport (2-0-0). The Panthers and Illini met in last year’s Showcase, with Illinois pull-ing out the 4-2 victory. Last year’s game was the first-ever meeting between the programs.
Stony Brook (0-1-0) has played just one game this year, dropping a 5-3 deci-sion to Navy last weekend. The upcoming game against
Illinois also marks the second-ever meeting between the schools, with the previous being at the 2010 ACHA Showcase.

Another weekend, another challenge for the Illinois volleyball team.
This weekend presents the toughest test yet for the Illini, who host No. 19 Ohio State (11-5, 2-2 Big Ten) on Friday night before set-ting their sights on the top-ranked team in the land, Penn State (14-1, 4-0), in Saturday’s showdown.
“It’s just another brutal Big Ten weekend,” Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly said.
Ohio State and Penn State will be the eighth and ninth ranked teams the No. 21 Illini( 8-6, 2-2) have faced this season, so while certainly brutal, the level of competi-tion is customary.
“It’s just going to be really fun because
they’re both really good teams and they’re gonna challenge us in different ways,” senior setter Annie Luhrsen said. “It’s gonna be
cool to face those challeng-es, and it’s gonna be cool to see how we respond to them.”
Illinois’ opponents will provide two separate and unique tests for the Illini. Hambly said the Buckeyes’ use of complex crossing patterns and schemes and faster tempo is unlike any team Illinois has faced this season.
And then, of course, the Illini will have to regroup for the Nittany Lions, a pro-gram looking to reclaim its
position at the top of the volleyball world after failing to win a national title last sea-son for the first time since the 2006 season. This may not be the same Penn State team
that won four straight championships, 109 straight matches and 65 straight Big Ten matches, but it is a formidable team none-theless — one that has dropped only seven sets all season.
The Nittany Lions play at the net is a key to their dominance. They rank first in the Big Ten in opponent hitting percentage (.131) and fourth nationally in hitting percentage (.320). Three juniors — outside hitters Deja McClendon and Ariel Scott and middle block-er Katie Slay — lead the way for Penn State.
“Penn State’s like Texas, but a better ver-sion of Texas where they’re real athletic, and they don’t make any errors, and they pass a little bit better,” Hambly said. “But they’re just super physical, the biggest team we’ll see for sure.”
If the Nittany Lions truly are bigger and better than Texas, a team Illinois narrowly defeated in a five-set match Sept. 14 and a team that assistant coach Jen Oldenburg

They say one is the loneliest number, but Tracy Abrams doesn’t believe it.
The sophomore guard has every rea-son to feel isolated, but that’s just not him.
New Illini head coach John Groce knows there’s no sense hiding the obvi-ous: There’s only one true point guard on the Illini’s roster and his new up-tempo system will require Abrams — his lone primary ballhandler — to run like he’s never been asked before.
Because of his system, Groce’s off-season program has emphasized condi-tioning above all else. Redshirt junior
guard Joseph Bertrand said he’s run so much he can’t even keep track of dis-tances anymore.
They’re not in Kansas (State) anymore.
Former Illini head coach Bruce Weber’s motion offense is out and ball screens, spacing and running are in. While senior shooting guard Brandon Paul is expected to slide over and assist Abrams at point guard, the sophomore is going to be handed huge minutes over the course of the season. But in truth, Abrams is excited to get back to a quicker tempo offense like the one he ran in high school and on his Chicago AAU team.
“I think for me and my position, it’s better,” Abrams said. “It’s all learning right now for us. ... I’m not even think-ing about minutes.”
That kind of attitude is what Abrams’ teammates love about him. It’s how he got the nickname “The Bulldog” after he was forced to play crucial minutes in the second half of his freshman year because of an ankle injury to senior guard Sam Maniscalco. It’s how Groce feels comfortable heading into battle with a sophomore as his floor general. Most importantly, it’s why Abrams was voted by his teammates as the 2011-12

Moneyball returns to Oakland as A’s win AL West title
Oakland A’s general man-ager Billy Beane has done it again, showing
that money doesn’t buy hap-piness or playoff spots.
No one expected much from Beane’s team earlier this season, as naming three players in its everyday line-up was a question even too difficult for Jeopardy.
Now, the A’s are the AL West champions, coming back from a 13-game defi-cit on June 30 to dethrone the two-time defending AL champions Rangers. As Oak-land completed the three-game sweep of Texas on Wednesday, it was the first time since April 8 that the Rangers were not in at least a tie for first place.
No need to bring back Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, Moneyball 2 is right in front of your eyes. All offsea-son, everyone wanted to talk about Albert Pujols and the Los Angeles Angels and their payroll of more than $154 million. If you spend that much money, you’re guaran-teed at least a spot in the AL championship series, right? Wrong. Sometimes the Beane philosophy beats the George Steinbrenner model.
The case is the same this year as Oakland’s payroll, which is nearly $100 million less than the Angels’, gave it five more wins. This is the difference between a first-round series at home or sit-ting on your sofa.
So how did a team that
spent $5 million less than the MLB-worst Houston Astros find its way into the playoffs in one of the toughest divi-sions in all of baseball? It’s called getting the most bang for your buck. The A’s didn’t need big names and hefty contracts to win games; a young nucleus of talent did the trick — led by their fan-tastic pitching.
Oakland doesn’t have household names like Roy Halladay, C.C. Sabathia or Justin Verlander on its pitching staff, and frankly, it doesn’t need them. With young guns like Jarrod Park-er (13-8), Tommy Milone (13-10), A.J. Griffin (7-1) on the front-end — none of whom are 26 yet— and a solid bull-pen with Grant Balfour (24 saves) and Ryan Cook (21 holds), the A’s gave up only 614 runs this season (second fewest in the AL).
This can be compared to the Angels’ high-profile pitching staff, which includ-ed Jared Weaver, Dan Haren, Zach Greinke and C.J. Wil-son, that gave up 85 more runs.
However, despite the sen-sational pitching from the A’s, the way they scored runs is head scratching. Aside from the fact they don’t have any big names in their order, only two players on the team, Yoenis Cespedes and Bran-don Moss, hit higher than .290.
Josh Reddick carried a great deal of the load, hitting 32 home runs with 85 RBIs. The 25-year-old is yet anoth-er bright spot on a team of young, rising stars. While the batting order doesn’t feature a Triple Crown win-ner like Miguel Cabrera or a surplus of power like the Yankees, Oakland knows how to get it done with timely hitting — especially in the clutch.
Many experts will prob-ably shy away from picking the A’s to win in the postsea-son, even with their shining

Age not stopping Chicago’s defenseBY ANDREW SELIGMANTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Lance Briggs sure doesn’t look like he’s slowing down.
The Bears’ Pro Bowl linebacker still has plenty of spring in his step, and that was clear during Mon-day’s game at Dallas.
Briggs hit the pedal when he picked off Tony Romo, returning an interception 74 yards for a touchdown, and Chicago’s defense again went full throttle in a 34-18 victory.
For all the questions surrounding an aging core, that unit has for the most part kept its foot on the gas so far. They’ll try to keep it there against an offense that ranks at the bottom when they visit Jacksonville (1-3) this week.
“We’re going to play how we play because we’re the star football players that we are,” Briggs said. “I love to play the game at a high level, and I want to play this game at a high level as long as we can play it.”
The Bears’ defense was certainly in gear against the Cowboys, picking off Tony Romo five times in a dominant performance. Two of those interceptions were returned for touchdowns, with Charles Till-man taking one 25 yards in the second quarter and Briggs running his back in the third to make it 24-7.
It happened after defensive tackle Henry Melton hit Romo as he apparently tried to deliver a shovel pass. The ball popped out to Briggs, and he burst through a crowd, outrunning everybody on the way to the end zone.
It was a play that possibly could have been ruled a fumble. Briggs, however, insisted it wasn’t. Either way, it was his fifth touchdown and first interception for a score since 2005, and the Bears (3-1) were still talking about that play on Thursday.
“Man, he took off,” defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli said. “Great play. Great ball skills, and we had so many guys turn and try to block, which is important.”
He called Briggs “an extremely gifted athlete” and “truly one of the great ‘backers.”
It’s hard to argue, considering he became just the fourth Bears linebacker to make seven straight Pro Bowls last season, joining Hall of Famers Dick Butkus, Bill George and Mike Singletary. He led the Bears with 147 tackles and got a renegotiated contract that runs through 2014.
Clearly, Chicago was depending on him. The question was: Could he keep it up? And, for that matter, could Tillman, Julius Peppers and Brian Urlacher?
All four players are in their 30s. Urlacher still is trying to shake off a knee injury and isn’t quite wreaking his usual havoc. But so far, the rest of the defense is holding up. And it’s not just the core players doing their part.
The Bears are getting big contributions from the defensive line and areas of the secondary that were major question marks.
They lead the league in interceptions (11) and takeaways (14), and their 15 sacks trail only Arizona and Cincinnati with 16 apiece. Cornerback Tim Jen-nings already has a career-high four interceptions
to lead the NFL, not to mention six pass breakups, two of which led to touchdowns for other players.
Then, there’s Briggs still going strong with 27 tackles and four pass breakups even though he’s in his 10th season and turns 32 next month.
“Best outside linebacker in the NFL. He does it every week,” Urlacher said. “He shows up. He makes big plays. He stresses me out sometimes because he moves around so much before the snap, I don’t know if he’s going to end up in the right spots. But he always does, makes big plays, tackles for losses. He’s always there.”
Chicago Cubs see many changes during disappointing seasonTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Theo Epstein made a lot of changes during his first season as the Chicago Cubs’ president of baseball operations.
Players were traded, prospects were called up, star shortstop Star-lin Castro got a big-time contract and front office personnel and coaches were fired.
The season ended this week after player gaffes, fundamental mistakes and losses — 101 of them. Now the overhaul continues and it appears to be a long road ahead.
The Cubs lost 100 games in a season for the first time since 1966 when they tied a franchise record 103 losses.
“It was a very disappointing sea-son in terms of wins and losses and ultimately that’s what counts,” Epstein said Thursday during a season-ending news conference. “It’s not like we wake up and we lost 101 games, ‘How did that hap-pen?’ ... we just didn’t have quite enough talent on the field most of the time.”
The Cubs traded veterans like Ryan Dempster, Paul Maholm, Geovany Soto, Reed Johnson and Jeff Baker for prospects they hope will bring brighter days. Oneri Fleita, the vice president of player personnel was fired. Hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo was let go in June and third base coach Pat Listach was fired Wednesday.
Fan favorite and reliever Kerry Wood retired and Matt Garza went on the disabled list in July.
Calling up first baseman Antho-ny Rizzo was one the best moves of the season. He proved to be the No. 3 hitter they’d been searching
for, batting .285 with 15 homers and 48 RBIs in 87 games.
Castro got a seven-year, $60 mil-lion contract and batted .283 with 183 hits. Jeff Samardzija became a starter for the future with a rel-atively strong season, before he was shut down to preserve his arm.
And Darwin Barney is another major piece for what’s ahead after setting an NL record and tying a major league record with 141 straight errorless games at sec-ond base before a miscue on the final road series ended the streak.
Carlos Marmol rebounded from a start that saw him lose the clos-er’s role for a while and had 20 saves and a 3.42 ERA. Alfonso Soriano had a comeback season few expected. The 36-year-old left fielder, who still has two years left on his eight-year, $136 million con-tract, responded from the cleanup spot with a .262 average, 32 hom-ers and a career-best 108 RBIs.
Soriano said he is open to being traded in the offseason if the Cubs don’t plan on contending the next two years.
So what can Epstein tell the fans who had to watch what at times was a tryout for next season?
“I’m not going to sit here and say, ‘Don’t worry about 101 loss-es because we have a magic plan to win a World Series in 2013, it’s going to happen, so be there now,’” Epstein said.
“That’s not the case. I think we’re trying to communicate that there is a plan, there is a vision,” he said. “It might be a little bit longer-term than we all want it to be, but that we’re committed to it, and that there’s a great reward at the end.”

Despite removal of statue, records, Paterno’s presence felt at Penn StateBY GENARO C. ARMASTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Several times across the nine months he’s been the coach at Penn State, Bill O’Brien has reiterated that his program will continually move forward, while always remembering the past.
The fans have bought in.Though the bronzed statue
outside Beaver Stadium is gone, and the record of 409 career
victories erased by the NCAA, reminders of late head coach Joe Paterno still surround Penn State football game days around Beaver Stadium.
From the “409” tailgate ban-ners in the parking lots, to the mementos left at the site where the statue once stood, JoePa is still with Nittany Lion Nation on fall Saturdays. And memo-ries are sure to sprout up come Saturday when Penn State hosts No. 24 Northwestern for the
homecoming weekend game.“I don’t think it’s fair to pre-
tend Joe Paterno never existed,” Chris Bartnik, 43, said before a game last month. Bartnik, a Penn State graduate from Chan-tilly, Va., placed a life-sized cardboard cutout of Paterno at the old statue location.
The embattled Board of Trustees; Paterno’s successor, O’Brien; and most rank-and-file fans share at least one prevail-ing sentiment: an eagerness to
move on from the scandal that blemished the university’s rep-utation and led to the landmark sanctions from the NCAA.
Sandusky is scheduled to be sentenced next week after being convicted in June on 45 crim-inal counts involving 10 boys. Prosecutors have said the abuse occurred on and off the Penn State campus.
Trustees last November fired Paterno, who died two months later at age 85 of lung cancer.

White Sox may move forward without pitcher, catcherBY ANDREW SELIGMANTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox made a surprising run at a division title. Now, big changes could be in store.
They might be saying goodbye to Jake Peavy and A.J. Pierzynski, and the front office could be in for some shuffling too after the White Sox lost their grip on the AL Cen-tral lead and finished three games behind Detroit at 85-77.
Chicago led by as many as 3 ! games and spent 117 days in first place, scenarios that few would have envisioned when the season began.
“I can’t say enough about these guys for their effort and com-mitment,” general manager Ken Williams said. “It’s one thing to talk about it (and say), ‘Let’s pay greater attention to fundamen-
tals and all these things,’ but once you leave spring training, a lot of times, some of those things fall to the wayside. Not with this group. So I can sit here and only be so dis-appointed in us for not closing this thing out because if there is such a thing as losing the right way, this group did.”
So now what?The White Sox reportedly will
promote their top two baseball executives, with Williams becom-ing the new vice president of base-ball operations and assistant gen-eral manager Rick Hahn replacing him as the GM.
Williams is the fourth-longest tenured GM in baseball at the moment, and he just completed his 12th season, a run that included a championship in 2005 to end an 87-year drought along with anoth-er division title in 2008. Hahn
has been credited with negotiat-ing contracts with Paul Konerko, John Danks, Alexei Ramirez and Gavin Floyd along with evaluat-ing and signing first-round picks Gordon Beckham (2008) and Chris Sale (2010) during his 12 seasons in the organization.
Past success aside, the task remains the same. And the White Sox have some big decisions to make.
They can exercise a $22 million option on Peavy or buy him out for $4 million. If they do that, they could try to bring him back at a lower rate, but he might be attrac-tive on the open market. After all, the former NL Cy Young winner put aside three injury-riddled sea-sons to make 32 starts, posting a 3.37 ERA and going 11-12.
Kevin Youkilis also could be gone after being acquired from
Boston in late June, with the White Sox not expected to pick up his option.
Then, there’s Pierzynski.His contract is up, and, if his
eight-year run in Chicago is over, he’s ending it on a strong note. He set a career high with 27 homers and matched one with 77 RBIs while hitting .278.
“I would love to come back and finish my career here, but at the same time I know how baseball works,” Pierzynski said. “I know the way things work, and we’ll see. Maybe we can work something out. If not, I’ll always look back fondly on my time here and appreciate it. I love the city of Chicago. I love the fans here. I love the people here. I love the organization, and you’ll never hear me say anything bad about them.”

showcase ourselves to the rest of the country.”
Coming out of last weekend’s games, Fabbrini repeated his man-tra that there is still work to be done in the defensive zone for Illi-nois. Though they allowed just two goals on the weekend, Fabbrini cited two defensive lapses that left Blue Streak players unchecked in front of the net, something Fab-
brini said cannot happen against tougher competition.
The Showcase games are the first regular season games away from the Big Pond for Illinois, although it did play two exhibi-tion games in the Nelson Center during preseason play.
The team feels it has grown since those games, and is ready to back it up on the big stage.

While sophomore Melissa Kopinski and senior Rachael White are in California for the All-Amer-ican Championships, several play-ers for the Illinois women’s ten-nis team are preparing for its first competition this fall.
Three Illini will play at the Air Force Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Friday through Sunday, with doubles matches beginning each day followed by singles in the afternoon.
Junior Misia Kedzierski will play singles, while sophomore Julia Jamieson and freshman Audrey O’Connor will play doubles together as well as individually.
The tournament features Big 12 opponents, including Oklaho-ma State and Texas Tech, as well as squads from the West.
“I love playing different teams,” head coach Michelle Dasso said. “This is an opportunity to play against opponents that we typi-cally don’t see.”
The matches are set to begin Friday morning with the Illinois doubles team of Jamieson and O’Connor facing Colorado’s duo of Winde Janssens and Ashley Tiefel.
The Illini will begin its singles bracket with Kedzierski taking on Colorado’s Julyette Steur. Also in singles play, O’Connor will face Northern Colorado’s Chrissie
Hoolahan. Sophomore Jamieson’s first-round singles opponent will be Stephanie Catlin from North-ern Colorado.
The team flew out to Colorado on Wednesday afternoon in order to get extra practices, which may be needed in order to get used to the 5,000-foot altitude difference. Ten-nis balls may be flying farther than the players would expect because of lower pressure.
“I think it may have an effect at first on our breathing,” Jamie-son said. “But I don’t think it will be a problem after our first cou-ple hits.”
With two Illini on the West Coast and only three others in Col-orado, practices have been more like a match.
“We have been doing a lot of point play and matches instead of drilling,” Kedzierski said. “That has definitely helped us out because last fall we did not get enough point play going into our fall tournaments.”
These fall tournaments are more of a building block for the team in preparation for the spring season, with players focusing on their individual game.
“I’ve been working on play-ing aggressive while still being patient and smart,” Jamieson said. “I am looking forward to seeing how these skills hold up in competition.”
This tournament will be the first time that Jamieson and O’Connor have played doubles together at Illinois, but it is not their first time on a court with one another.
“I’ve known her for a while,” Jamieson said. “She lives only 20 minutes away from me, and our
high schools played each other.”After two weeks of practices,
Illinois is ready to get out on the court. Dasso said the team has a lot of athleticism and explosiveness.
“And I think if we can exploit that on our opponents that will give us our best chance for suc-
cess,” she said. Meanwhile, Kopinski and White
on Thursday won two matches, advancing to the third round in which they’ll face the top-ranked Southern Cal team of Sabrina San-tamaria and Kaitlyn Christian.
During the first match of the
championship rounds, Illinois defeated the Stanford doubles team 8-5. Kopinski and White advanced to Friday by beating Texas Tech’s duo 8-5.

CHONG JIANG THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Melissa Kopinski serves during her doubles match with Marisa Lambropoulos against Iowa on March 25. The Illini won 6-1 at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex. Kopinski and Rachael White are in the All-American Championships and won two matches Thursday, advancing to the third round.
said recruited athletic “freaks,” the Illini will have their hands full. But Hambly won’t make any changes to how Illinois approach-es the match offensively.
“We attack their system like we do any other team,” he said. “If we pass well, we’ll have a shot to score. And if we don’t, then we won’t.”
“We just need to focus on exe-cuting our game plan, which would be hitting high off of them,” middle blocker Anna Dorn added. “If we bring the ball down at all it’ll just go straight into their hands and they’ll get easy points.”
The matchup between Dorn and Slay in the middle will be one to watch. Both middle blockers are having stellar seasons. Dorn is third on Illinois in kills with 116 and boasts the sixth-highest hitting percentage in the country
at .454. Slay is one of only five players hitting better than Dorn, coming in second nationally with her .466 hitting percentage.
“It’s always a challenge and kinda fun to go against someone else who’s really good in the mid-dle,” Dorn said. “So I’ll kind of see it as a battle and just try to hit over her if I can.”
For Dorn and her Illinois team-mates to defeat Penn State, the Illini will have to be clicking on all cylinders, something they have done this year for full sets but not full matches.
“We just have to maintain our level of play and our top level of play for a whole match,” Luhrs-en said.
If they can, the Illini may have a chance to topple Penn State for a third straight game at Huff Hall and knock off a No. 1 team for only the second time in school history.

Illini basketball MVP despite averaging just 4.3 points per game and 1.9 assists.
In a season derailed by a num-ber of problems, Abrams set the standard for how to handle his business, and his teammates recognized him for it.
“He just shows good leader-ship,” Bertrand said. “He’s a natural leader. I remember the first time he came down here on his visit, we had him over at our house. We talked a lot about bas-ketball. He’s really passionate about the game and that really transferred over to last season.”
Abrams never had time to ease into the college game like the other sophomores in his class. He was thrust into action last season, playing in all 32 games while learning the job of a Big Ten point guard on the fly. Although it wasn’t always pretty, the experience he gained last season, paired with offsea-son improvements to his jump shot, has him feeling confident for his larger role this season.
“I know I’m just a sopho-more guard, but I need to pres-ent myself as the leader of this team,” Abrams said. “The older, experienced guys helped me out a lot, but now being the point guard and knowing I’m going to have the ball in my hands a lot, I have to be vocal.”

Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane watches his team celebrate a 12-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday in Oakland, Calif. With the win, the Athletics clinched the AL West division championship.
94-68 record. However, believe it or not, this team is for real. A first-round matchup with the Tigers will be an intrigu-ing one.
Will the star power of Ver-lander, Cabrera and Prince Fielder outweigh the magical run of the A’s? Time will tell, but if we can learn anything from last season when the Car-dinals won the title, it’s this: Destiny trumps talent.
The A’s are the hottest team
entering the postseason right now. And don’t expect that to change, as Beane will continue to get his money’s worth and so much more.
