UConn was recently rated the fifth most environmentally friendly college on the Sierra Club’s Top 10 “Cool Schools” for 2012. This is a large jump from 16th last year and 49th two years ago.

This ranking is based on the university’s commitment to making “earth-saving decisions,” according to the Sierra Club’s website. It recognizes UConn’s commitment to sustainability, environmental initiatives and focus on sustainability-focused academics, according to a UConn Today article.

“UConn’s top five ranking underscores how sustainability has become part of the culture of our campus and we’re pleased to be recognized for our efforts,” said Susan Herbst, president of UConn in a UConn Today article.

“As a land and sea grant university, excellent environmental stewardship is one of our fundamental values,” she added.

Prabhakar Singh, director of the UConn Center for Clean Energy Engineering said the entire UConn community takes the credit for the increased ranking, through recycling, reducing the carbon footprint and changing the culture.

UConn moved up in the ranks of the Sierra Cub’s “Cool Schools’ ratings, which rates universities’ commitments to being environmentallyconscious. In addition to a fuel cell power plant that provides “clean” energy, UConn has an EcoHouse learning community that is dedicated to reducing the university’s carbon footprint.

He also commends the visions of UConn Provost Mun Choi and President Herbst.

“We are very successful because of all the help we have received from UConn,” he said.

Rich Miller, director of the Office of Environmental Policy at UConn, attributes the jump up the rankings to projects that were proposed three years ago that have now been

implemented.

“Environmental plans and proposals from three years ago have become completed projects with real results and progress to report,” he said.

These include UConn’s Climate Action Plan, adopted in 2010, which has now had several projects implemented.

“The Climate Action Plan has been the centerpiece of

our environmental sustainability progress for the past few years,” said Miller. “President Herbst’s ongoing support of the plan and its specific goals and strategies has been vital to our continued rise in the rankings.”

UConn has also been developing energy and transportation programs that contribute toward UConn’s high ranking

Storrs Center retailers slowly open

By Olivia Balsinger Staff Writer After about a decade of planning, the first phase of construction on Storrs Center is finally in its finishing stages.

An advertisement on the Storrs Center website for the new downtown area boasts that “Storrs Center is a mixeduse town center where an eclectic mix of restaurants, shops, offices, homes, walkways, and green spaces create a connected, thriving community for everyone in the region.”

The new construction has already opened and The Oaks apartment complex is livable for students.

“I never knew I would find apartments that are so nice and clean, yet so close to campus,” said 7th-semester accounting major Anthony Fabbo. “I could easily walk to classes, and the fact that so many different restaurants are coming in is such a bonus.”

Though many are not yet finished, many new restaurants and commercial spaces have at least began their construction and the initial structuring.

Some of these new restaurants, such as Moe’s Southwest Grill, 7-Eleven and Subway are recognizable chain-restaurant names.

However, other eating-places such as the Dog Lane Café, MooYah Burgers and Fries and Froyo World will all add more unique touches to downtown Storrs.

“I am excited for all the new restaurants, but especially Froyo World. The new frozen yogurt place is just what I feel Storrs Center needs, because really, who doesn’t like frozen yogurt?,” said 3rd-semester political science major Lauren Simon.

Many students are also highly anticipating the opening of a branch of women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma’s restaurant, called Geno’s Grille. The main restaurant is already located in one of Connecticut’s casinos, Mohegan Sun. It will boast many crowd pleasers, including pizza, wings, Mexican food and Philly Steaks.

Of course, there is more to the new

on the Cool Schools list this year. These initiatives are also saving money for the university.

One of the things the Sierra Club highlights is UConn’s composting program. It process up to 15 truckloads of manure per a week, according to the Sierra Club’s website.

They also highlight UConn’s extensive recycling programs and awareness.

UConn replaced the lighting systems at 73 buildings and completed “retro-commissioning” projects at 13 buildings, which improved the buildings’ HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems so they maximize at maximum efficiency. These two projects don’t only reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5,000 tons; they also save UConn $1 million in energy costs, according to Miller.

UConn also modified the way it produces energy for the entire campus, by installing a new 400 kW UTC Power Fuel Cell. This fuel cell is very efficient and uses clean natural gas, reducing carbon monoxide and other emission, according to Singh.

Finally, UConn used a $75,000 grant to purchase an all-electric fleet vehicle to replace a diesel truck used for deliveries around campus.

Police: sexual assault report false

By Kim Wilson News Editor

KEVIN SCHELLER/The Daily Campus

The first stage of Storrs Center is nearly finished, with some commercial spaces, including Subway, Storrs Automotive and Select Physical Therapy, are now open.

Storrs downtown than just restaurants.

Coming later in 2012 will be a Bank of America as well as a store called Sweet Emotions, which will have more than 400 types of candies.

There are many stores that are already open in the center as well. These include Body Language, a tattoo and piercing parlor, Select Physical Therapy, Skora’s Barber Styling Shop, Travel Planners and Storrs Automotive.

The year 2013 has in store even more shop possibilities for the downtown, including an additional branch of the UConn Co-op Bookstore and a branch of the UConn Health Center.

A lease has also just been signed with Price Chopper to bring a grocery store to Storrs Center. As stated in an article for Patch.com, Price Chopper will be working on a design that keeps with

the design and sustainability guidelines already in place.

Howard Kaufman, managing member of Leyland Alliance LLC, said in an interview for Patch.com, “Price Chopper is planning a neighborhood market that is innovative in its design and will cater to the needs of the Storrs-Mansfield community.”

Many students are excited about the future plans in store for Storrs Center.

“As a senior, I’m glad I get to experience some of the new downtown before I graduate,” said 7th-semester accounting major Allegra Forte. “It looks like it will bring in a lot of business for Mansfield, as well as prospective students for the university.”

Police said a complaint that a woman was sexually assaulted by several men on campus early Saturday morning was false.

UConn police distributed a Safety Alert message early Saturday morning informing students of a report of a female being assaulted by a group of two to five males that struck her with an object reported to be a skateboard and then sexually assaulted her.

According a release distributed by the UConn Police Department, “During the subsequent investigation, detectives reviewed security camera footage and conducted follow up interviews with the complainant and have learned that the complainant falsely reported the assault.”

The decision to send the alert was based on the information the police had at the time, the release said.

“Although this was an unfounded incident, the UConn Police Department encourages all members of the community to report suspicious activity promptly,” the release said.

Community members wishing to report criminal activity on the UConn Storrs campus can call UConn Police at 860-486-4800 or visit the UConn Police website.

Two in Conn. killed in crash with parked truck

BRIDGEPORT (AP) — A motorist and a passenger in her car have been killed in an accident involving a parked tractor trailer in Bridgeport.

WTNH-TV reports (http://bit.ly/RPRD8V) that police say a car drifted off Route 25 north shortly after 5 a.m. Sunday and struck the tractor trailer in the right shoulder.

The driver of the car, 51-year-old Jennifer Edwards, and the passenger, 36-year-old Edwin Thomas, were killed.

The driver of the tractor trailer, Elias Londono, was not in the vehicle, but he had minor injuries.

Police are investigating the cause.

Long-serving state senator Gunther dies at 92

HARTFORD (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says George L. “Doc” Gunther, a fixture in the Connecticut Senate, has died.

In a statement Sunday, Malloy credited Gunther for fighting to protect the environment and preserve open space The Connecticut Post says Gunther, a Republican, died at a hospice on Sunday after a long battle with cancer and that he was 92.

He represented the towns of Shelton, Stratford and parts of Monroe and Seymour from 1966 until he retired in 2006. The newspaper says he was the longest-serving senator in state history.

In interviews with the Connecticut Post, Gunther took credit for helping pass key conservation laws such as the tidal wetlands law in 1969 and legislation to recycle bottles following an eight-year battle.

Sierra Club places UConn in top five “Cool Schools” from UCONN RANKED, page 1

Students at UConn are excited to be a student at the fifth most environmentally school in the nation.

“Every campus wants to try and be as eco-friendly as possible and it’s great to see that UConn is right up thewre with other schools who are leading in sustainability,” said Jennifer Kruzansky, a 6thsemester allied health sciences major.

“It’s also awesome to see it because the eco-friendly clubs on campus I’m involved in have a hand in getting UConn to that ranking, so it’s a pretty nice reward.

Sustainability is such a big top right now and UConn getting this ranking is something that all students can be proud of,” she added.

UConn is committed to becoming even more ewnvironmentally-friendly in the future.

The UConn Board of Trustees recently approved an environmental studies degree,

which will be useful for students interested in studying the environment as it relates to the humanities, social sciences, fine arts or law and policy, acwcording to Miller.

UConn is also going to be “recycling” wastewater, hopefully by early 2012, which will conserve up to 500,000 gallons of drinking water each day. The university is also currently installing its first solar array at the Depot Campus and new farmers’ markets are going to allow students to purchase locally-grown produce right on campus.

Finally, all of the things the Center for Clean Energy Engineering is currently doing could lead to the development of a new smart grid, the backbone for transporting energy and power from the energy system to the user. This new grid, a microgrid will be on a smaller level, and the campus could manage and distribute power in the most efficient way possible, according to Singh.

» NATION

The rankings were compiled through extensive surveys, according to the Sierra Club’s website.

“It was a very comprehensive survey and compiling the data helped us appreciate how widespread the commitment to environmental awareness and sustainability is at UConn,” said Miller in a UConn Today article.

The survey covers categories from education and research to waste to water to innovation. Out of a total 894.5 points possible, UConn scored 667.

“It’s a great time to be in this field, and I’m hoping some of these things next year and beyond further improve our rank and change ourw student culture, making the students more efficient in ways of thinking, so when they leave UConn they become a steward of these ideas,” said Singh.

Mohegan American Taliban seeks group Indians seek prayer in Ind. prison success in Conn. sends 28 delegates Atlantic City to GOP convention in Fla.

GREENWICH (AP) — Of Connecticut’s 28 delegates to the Republican national convention in Tampa, Fla., none ever was elected to statewide or federal office and most have helped raise money for Mitt Romney.

The Hearst Connecticut Media Group reports (http://bit.ly/Of4MDi ) that 21 are men and seven are women. Greenwich has sent six delegates and four alternates, the most in the state.

State GOP chairman Jerry Labriola Jr. says the overriding factor for who would be a delegate was strong and early support for Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who will soon be nominated for president.

Republicans in Connecticut account for the smallest of the three major voter blocs in the state, totaling 412,509, compared with 723,035 Democrats and 818,703 unaffiliated voters.

Connecticut is a reliable blue state. Then-Vice President George Bush was the last Republican presidential candidate to win Connecticut in 1988.

Mystic’s maritime history, up for sale

MYSTIC (AP) — Mystic’s 19th century maritime history, pieces of everyday life of the social elite, paintings of noted locally built ships and portraits of the seafaring Mallory family who brought it all to the southeastern Connecticut shoreline went up for sale Saturday.

Generations of Mallorys lived in the house at 35 Willow St. in Mystic from 1828 to 2010, including Capt. Charles H. Mallory, whose shipyard property later became Mystic Seaport.

Paintings of ships, portraits of the Mallory family and period lithographs were among the highlight of Saturday’s auction, with sale prices routinely reaching tens of thousands of dollars, drawing cheers from the packed and wet banquet tent erected on the backyard lawn of the estate, as auctioneer Dan Russ competed with pounding rain on the tent roof throughout the day.

The house and contents were inherited by family members in Wisconsin after the last Mallory occupant, yachtsman Thayer (Pete) Mallory Kingsley, died in 2010.

Bidding was spirited for an early 19th century portrait believed to be of Charles Mallory as a boy. Russ tried to start the bidding at $30,000 to save time and his own voice, but no hands went up.

Waterbury man arrested in shooting of two relatives

NAUGATUCK (AP) — Police say a family dispute in Naugatuck ended violently when a 36-year-old Waterbury resident shot and wounded two relatives.

Police say a 31-year-old Naugatuck man was shot in the foot Friday night. A 26-year-old Waterbury resident was struck in the calf. Neither had life-threatening injuries.

The Naugatuck man was taken to Waterbury Hospital, while the Waterbury victim refused treatment.

Investigators later contacted the suspect by telephone. Francisco Tellado told them that he was at his North Main Street apartment in Waterbury. Police took him into custody and recovered a handgun.

Authorities are working to determine what charges to file against Tellado. The case is still under investigation.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An American-born Taliban fighter imprisoned in Indiana will try to convince a federal judge that his religious freedom trumps security concerns in a closely watched trial that will examine how far prisons can go to ensure security in the age of terrorism.

John Walker Lindh was expected to testify Monday in Indianapolis during the first day of the trial over prayer policies in a tightly restricted prison unit where he and other high-risk inmates have severely limited contact with the outside world.

Lindh, 31, a Muslim convert who was charged with supporting terrorists after he was captured by U.S. troops in Afghanistan and later pleaded guilty to lesser charges, claims his religious rights are being violated because the federal prison in Terre Haute deprives him of daily group prayer.

Muslims are required to pray five times a day, and the Hanbali school to which Lindh belongs requires group prayer if it is possible. But inmates in the Communications Management Unit are allowed to pray together only once a week except during Ramadan.

At other times, they must pray in their individual cells.

Lindh says that doesn’t meet the Quran’s requirements and is inappropriate because he is forced to kneel in close proximity to his toilet.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, which is representing Lindh, contends the policy violates a federal law barring the government from restricting religious activities without showing a compelling need.

“This is an open unit where prisoners are basically out all day,” said ACLU legal director Ken Falk, noting that inmates are allowed to play basketball and board games, watch television and converse as long as they speak English so the guards can understand.

“They can do basically any peaceful activity except praying,” he said. “It makes no sense to say this is one activity

This Jan. 23, 2002 file photo provided by the Alexandria County Sheriff’s Department in Alexandria, Va., shows John Walker Lindh. Lindh is expected to testify Monday, Aug. 27, 2012, in Indianapolis during the first day of the trial over prayer policies.

we’re going to prohibit in the name of security.”

Joe Hogsett, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, said he believes decisions about prison regulations are best made by prison officials, “not by convicted terrorists and other dangerous criminals who reside there.”

“Mr. Lindh is allowed to pray in his cell; he’s allowed to pray wherever he happens to be as many times every day as his religion suggests to him that he should,” Hogsett said. “Where the rules must draw the line is how often must prison officials allow prisoners to congregate together?”

Attorneys for the government maintain that Lindh’s own behavior since he was placed in the unit in 2007 proves the risks of allowing group prayer.

The government says in court documents that Lindh delivered a “radical, all-Arabic sermon” to other Muslim prisoners in February that was in keeping with techniques in a manual seized from al-Qaida members that details how terrorists should conduct themselves when they are imprisoned.

Lindh’s sermon proves “that religious activities led by Muslim inmates are being used as a vehicle for radicalization

and violence in the CMU,” the government claims.

Falk said Lindh’s speech wasn’t radical and was given during the weekly prayer that inmates are permitted. He said Lindh was not disciplined for the speech.

The self-contained unit in which Lindh resides has 43 inmates, 24 of whom are Muslim. Inmates are under open and covert audio and video surveillance, and except for talks with their attorney, all of their phone calls are monitored. Prisoners are not allowed to touch their family members when they come for their tightly limited visits.

They must speak English at all times except when reciting ritual prayers in Arabic.

Without such tight security, the government claims, the prisoners would be able to conspire with outsiders to commit terrorist or criminal acts.

According to court documents, daily prayers were allowed from the time the unit opened in 2006 until May 2007, when Muslim inmates refused to stop in the middle of a prayer to return to their cells during a fire emergency.

The lawsuit was originally filed in 2009 by two Muslim inmates in the unit. Lindh joined the lawsuit in 2010, and the case has drawn far more attention since then. The other plaintiffs have dropped out as they were released from prison or transferred to other units.

Thomas Farr, a former diplomat who now teaches at Georgetown University and studies religion and terrorism, said common sense suggests that the prison’s need for security would outweigh Lindh’s religious rights.

Stanford University terrorism expert Martha Crenshaw said prison officials have legitimate security concerns but questioned how dangerous Lindh really was, noting that he was not a leader or an influential cleric. Even the government says Lindh is currently characterized as a minimumsecurity prisoner.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — An unusual arrangement is coming soon to Atlantic City in which the Mohegan Indians will buy a piece of Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City and run its day-to-day affairs.

The deal centers on a $35 million expansion that will bring a Margaritaville restaurant to the casino, splashing palm trees and parrots across its facade. But the casino’s existing Roaring ‘20s theme, adopted to take advantage of interest in the hit HBO series “Boardwalk Empire” about Prohibition-era Atlantic City, is staying, too.

The idea is to bring new excitement (and new customers with their new money) to a casino that has struggled since nearly having to close two years ago. The alliance with the Mohegans and their well-established casinos in Connecticut and Pennsylvania should give a big boost to Resorts, which was the first casino in the United States to open outside Nevada.

“We are really excited about this,” said Mitchell Etess, CEO of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority. “It’s a win-win for everyone involved.”

The arrangement must be approved by New Jersey casino regulators. A vote has yet to be scheduled, but one could come next month.

It became necessary following the sudden death of Resorts coowner Dennis Gomes in February.

A veteran of the casino industry, and the inspiration for the hit movie “Casino,” Gomes had been working to turn Resorts around from years of losses under previous ownership to bigger, newer competitors in Atlantic City and in surrounding states.

Following Gomes’ death, Resorts owner Morris Bailey began discussing a marketing alliance with the Mohegans, but talks progressed quickly into a deal to have the tribe’s management arm, Mohegan Gaming Advisors, provide the experience and knowhow that was missing without Gomes at the helm.

Armstrong called humble hero who served country

When Neil Armstrong walked on the moon all those years ago, he made his country believe that anything was possible with ingenuity and dedication — and in the process became one of America’s greatest heroes, his friends, colleagues and admirers said Saturday after news that the former astronaut had died.

“When I think of Neil, I think of someone who for our country was dedicated enough to dare greatly,” said former astronaut John Glenn, who went through jungle training in Panama with Armstrong as part of the astronaut program and was a close friend. He said Armstrong showed exemplary skill and dedication.

The idea of Armstrong as a humble pilot who served his country above all echoed around the country Saturday, by visitors to museums that fete his accomplishments and by his former NASA colleagues. Armstrong died Saturday at age 82 from complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures, his family said.

In California, visitors and staff at the Griffith Observatory paused for a moment of silence. At the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Armstrong’s hometown of Wapakoneta, Ohio, a black ribbon hung over a plaque of Armstrong in the museum’s entryway and a U.S. flag was lowered in Armstrong’s memory.

Tourist Jonathon Lack, a judge from Anchorage, Alaska, said he decided to visit the Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., after hearing of Armstrong’s death.

“What really hit me is that he was in his 30s when he walked on the moon,” said Lack, who is 42. “That made me think about how little I’ve done.”

ever and became a landmark moment in human history.

“Whenever I look at the moon, it reminds me of the moment over four decades ago when I realized that even though we were farther away from Earth than two humans had ever been, we were not alone,” he said. “Virtually the entire world took that memorable journey with us. I know I am joined by millions of others in mourning the passing of a true American hero and the best pilot I ever knew.”

The third astronaut on the mission, Michael Collins, circled the moon in the mother ship 60 miles overhead while the other two went to the surface. “He was the best, and I will miss him terri-

bly,” Collins said, according to NASA’s website.

The Apollo 11 command module Columbia is on display at the Air and Space Museum, and visitors there Saturday gathered around it to remember Armstrong and his accomplishments.

Bob Behnken, the chief of the NASA Astronaut Office, said Armstrong’s historic step was the reason many became astronauts.

“Neil Armstrong was a very personal inspiration to all of us within the astronaut office,” he said. “The only thing that outshone his accomplishments was his humility about those accomplishments. “ Daniel Zhou, a student at Armstrong’s alma mater Purdue University in Indiana and a member of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space, said Saturday was sad day.

“He will always be a source of inspiration for our generation, and for the generations to come, as we ask ourselves, ‘Why explore space?’” Zhou said.

At New York’s Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, a 1960 photo of Armstrong hangs near the space shuttle Enterprise — showing a youthful NASA pilot standing and smiling next to the X-15 rocket plane he was testing.

On Saturday afternoon, many among the hundreds of visitors filing past the mammoth white display didn’t know he had died.

‘I’m shocked!” said Dennis McKowan, 49, a computer network engineer from Sunnyvale, Calif., on a business trip to New York. “I used to skip school to watch the Apollo launches.”

He was a child when he watched the moon landing.

Was the walk on the moon one small step for man, or a man?

Neil Armstrong’s first words from the moon were heard all over Earth, and Earth heard this: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

But Armstrong said immediately after the 1969 landing that he had been misquoted. He said he actually said, “That’s one small step for ‘a’ man.” It’s just that people just didn’t hear it.

The astronaut acknowledged during a 30th anniversary gathering in 1999 that he didn’t hear himself say it either when he listened to the transmission from the July 20, 1969, moon landing.

“The ‘a’ was intended,” Armstrong said. “I thought I said it. I can’t hear it when I listen on the radio reception here on Earth, so I’ll be happy if you just put it in parentheses.”

Although no one in the world heard the “’a,” some research backs Armstrong.

In 2006, a computer analysis found evidence that Armstrong said what he said he said.

Peter Shann Ford, an Australian computer programmer, ran a software analy-

sis looking at sound waves and found a wave that would have been the missing “a.” It lasted 35 milliseconds, much too quick to be heard. The Smithsonian’s space curator, Roger Launius, looked at the evidence and found it convincing.

NASA has also stood by its moon man.

“If Neil Armstrong says there was an ‘a,’ then as far as we’re concerned, there was ‘a,’” NASA spokesman Michael Cabbage said shortly before the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission.

Armstrong, who died Saturday at age 82, maintained until the end that there was a lost word in his famous words from the moon.

“I thought about it after landing,” he said in a 2011 NASA oral history. “And because we had a lot of other things to do, it was not something that I really concentrated on, but just something that was kind of passing around subliminally or in the background. But it, you know, was a pretty simple statement, talking about stepping off something.

Why, it wasn’t a very complex thing. It was what it was.”

Robert Spellman, telescope demonstrator at the Griffith Observatory, joins visitors in a minute of silence for astronaut Neil Armstrong in Los Angeles on Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012. Armstrong died on Saturday.

He saw in Armstrong’s death a reminder of an America where people dreamed big things and sought to accomplish the inconceivable.

Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th-century’s scientific expeditions during the climax of a heated space race with the Soviet Union.

Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent nearly three hours walking on the lunar surface, collecting samples, conducting experiments and taking photographs.

Aldrin, who became the public face of the moon landing after shy Armstrong recoiled from the public eye, said his colleague’s leap changed the world for-

Oil companies pull back as Isaac roars toward Gulf

Oil companies scrambled out of the path of Tropical Storm Isaac, withdrawing offshore workers and cutting oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico.

By mid-day Sunday, the U.S. government said that daily oil production in the Gulf was down 24 percent and natural gas production was off 8 percent.

Isaac, already carrying winds of more than 60 miles an hour, was expected to cross the Florida Keys by late afternoon.

The storm will likely pick up strength from the warm, open waters of the Gulf of Mexico and strike as a dangerous Category 2 hurricane somewhere between New Orleans and the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday, the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Noting that the storm was moving west and threatening to grow more powerful, energy giant BP evacuated all its installations and temporarily halted production in the Gulf Sunday.

Earlier, it had pulled workers from its massive Thunder Horse platform in the eastern Gulf.

Royal Dutch Shell is withdrawing all workers and suspending production in the eastern Gulf. It is pulling out all but essential personnel and cutting production in the central Gulf.

Apache Corp., a Houston oil services company, is withdrawing 750 workers and contractors from its installations in the eastern Gulf. It is also cutting production of oil and natural gas. Other energy companies have also been evacuating their platforms and rigs in the Gulf.

Murphy Oil Corp., based in El Dorado, Ark., said Sunday that it is pulling out all workers and suspending operations in the Gulf.

Overall, oil companies pulled workers off 39 (7 percent) of 596 production platforms and eight (11 percent) of 76 Gulf oil rigs, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement reported Sunday.

Former energy trader Stephen Schork, who now edits a report on the oil industry, worries that the storm will be a repeat of Hurricanes Katrina in 2005 and Gustav in 208, damaging Gulf refineries and pipelines and disrupting oil tanker traffic.

UConn Police did commendable work with false claim

O

n Friday evening, all UConn students received an alert about a reported sexual assault on campus in the vicinity of North Eagleville Rd. and Glenbrook Rd. A group of two to five men allegedly struck a woman with a skateboard and then sexually assaulted her around 12:10 a.m. The UConn Police reacted swiftly, releasing an alert to all students along with an article Saturday morning in the Associate Press asking for anyone with information to please call and stay alert for “suspicious or criminal activity.”

Later that evening, at approximately 11 p.m., another alert went out to the student body reporting that the allegations were false. What surely followed was a private damnation (partly because her name was never released) of the woman. After all, rape is nothing to laugh at or fake. Her actions threatened to undo the efforts of feminist events like the “Slut Walk” and “Take Back the Night.” While motivation for her actions remains unknown, one thing about the situation is certain: we can take pride in the actions of the UConn Police.

We tend to look at situations like this from the alleged victim’s standpoint. Try looking at it from the police’s standpoint: they received a call from a woman in distress in the early hours of the morning, they immediately responded, they released an alert to the campus asking for information and extra caution, uncovered the supposed victim’s false accusation after corroborating her story with video evidence and less than 24 hours after their first alert reporting the crime, released a second alert relieving everyone’s concern. Their actions should be commended for their efficiency and students should be glad that the alert system worked as intended.

It’s easy to only focus on one woman’s false claim of sexual assault, but the people who protect the students on campus deserve commendation for their extremely fast and efficient response. Consider the possibility of an actual rape on campus.

The police would have acted just as rapidly and just as competently as during a false report. After all, they believed it was an honest claim until Saturday night.

That the UConn police officers are constantly there to investigate and watch the dark places of the campus is something the average student takes for granted. For their successful alert system and swift, efficient response, we are grateful.

What Obama and Romney were like as students

W

ould you have been friends with Barack Obama or Mitt Romney when they were in college? Keep in mind, as your roommate or a student in one of your classes, you would have had no idea either might become president someday.

Obama acted at times very “un-presidential” during his 1979-83 college years, when he was known not as Barack but as Barry. At Occidental College in Los Angeles he used cocaine and marijuana, a continuation from high school.

“Junkie. Pothead.

That’s where I’d

By Jesse Rifkin been headed,” he Associate Commentary Editor wrote in his autobiography Dreams from my Father, “the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn’t been about that, me trying to prove what a down brother I was… I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind.”

He also played basketball frequently, though never playing for his school’s official team, as the Sports Illustrated article “The Audacity of Hoops” chronicled. His athletic style often hovered between fancy showoff and aggressive, as can still be seen in footage of him playing as president. (In 2010 he even required 12 stitches in his lip after being elbowed during a game.) As Obama’s English professor Eric Newhall noted only half-jokingly, “The greatest contribution Occidental has made to American democ-

racy was to help Barack Obama decide that his future wasn’t in basketball.”

Though he read many books and was considered quite intelligent by peers, Obama was at first considered something of an underachiever. As a sophomore – while not diluting his sense of humor or personality – he started taking classes much more seriously and became involved with social activism. It was then he delivered his first speech, addressing several hundred students about urging Occidental to disinvest its financial holdings in South Africa, due to that nation’s racial segregation apartheid policies.

For his junior year, he transferred to Columbia in New York City, an Ivy League school where he graduated in political science with a focus in international relations.

He claims he forever stopped using drugs during this period, though he still listened to drug-influenced music like Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan, who he said “opened up his world” in college.

College Romney was in many ways the polar opposite of College Obama. Heading into his freshman year Mitt was already engaged, having proposed marriage to future wife Ann Davies at his senior prom when she was only 16. He attended Stanford in California from 1965-66, and despite it being California and 1966 he steered clear of the anti-authoritarianism and general craziness of the time. When Stanford students staged a sit-in protest against the Vietnam draft, he and a few others staged a “counterprotest.”

After his freshman year he spent two years in France as a Mormon missionary to convert the French. (The country is now approximately .05% Mormon, so you can see how successfully that turned out.) During that time, Ann enrolled at Brigham Young

University in Utah, so Romney transferred there upon returning to America. At BYU he refrained from drugs, alcohol, and even caffeine, as the strict Mormon university required. “I tasted a beer and tried a cigarette once as a wayward teenager and never tried it again,” he admitted recently, though it is unclear whether that “teenage” experience was in college. A February Washington Post headline describes his behavior during this period: “Mitt Romney, as a student at a chaotic time, focused on family, church.” Mitt graduated in 1971 with an English degree.

He was still an undergraduate when his oldest son Tagg was born.

Although the notion of Obama as future president surely seemed laughable while he was in college – or even in 2003, for that matter – it was probably not an inconceivable path for college-aged Romney. During college, his father George was Governor of Michigan and later a cabinet secretary under President Richard Nixon, while his mother was the Republican nominee for U.S. Senator from Michigan. In fact, some who knew Mitt suggest that even in his late teens and early twenties he deliberately avoided controversy so as not to taint his future political chances.

Between now and Election Day, we will hear virtually nonstop debate about whether Obama or Romney would make a better president. Polls seem to indicate the electorate is split evenly on the question. But most of us could probably agree: Obama would have been more fun to hang out with in college.

Britain is wrong to punish Assange for forcing accountability

R

ecently the nation of Ecuador offered political asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

However, the British government refused to allow him to leave the British embassy, saying he must face the consequences of his crimes. The irony here is clear – after all, Assange’s “crime” in WikiLeaks was merely holding the United States government accountable for its actions.

Let me start

By Gregory Koch by saying that I consider the sexStaff Columnist ual allegations against Assange in Sweden and the WikiLeaks situation to be two separate but related issues. If the rape allegations are as politically motivated as Assange claims, that is truly despicable. But suppose they are real, as the Swedish authorities claim. It logically follows that Assange should be held accountable for his crime. Of course, in creating WikiLeaks, Assange was merely holding the United States government to the same standard.

The first major release by WikiLeaks was their 2010 “helicopter video.” This footage, originally taken in 2007, shows a United States military helicopter shooting and killing innocent, unarmed Iraqi civilians. At one

point, one of the soldiers laughs, shouting “Hahahaha, I hit them.”

Another soldier says “Yeah, look at those dead bastards.” By any common legal standard, this is mass murder. Even under the Geneva Convention concerning war crimes, it violates international law. By releasing the footage publicly, Assange was trying to hold the United States government accountable for its crimes – exactly the same thing the Swedish and British governments claim they are trying to do to him.

Regardless of rhetoric to the contrary, America is not a fully “free” country – that ideal can never be achieved, only asymptotically approached. However, even in a truly free society, the government would not be perfect.

This is because the government is run by people, and people make mistakes. Even if the rape allegations against Assange are false, he surely has done something morally wrong in his life. So has every person on this planet, and we all deserve to be held accountable for these imperfect actions. The United States government should be no different. That accountability is the purpose of WikiLeaks.

It is impossible for any government, even a just one, to avoid making any mistakes. The difference between a just government

and a tyrannical government is that a just government holds itself accountable for these mistakes, while an unjust government tries to cover them up.

Iran, under the leadership of Machmoud Ahmadinejad, has for many years been a tyrannical regime. It has a history of flagrantly violating the rights of women, gays, and non-Muslims.

Yet the government denied all of this. At one point, Ahmadinejad replied to the allegation he had executed 200 homosexuals in the past year by saying “there are no gays in Iran.” This is only believable if one considers the possibility that Ahmadinejad had not just executed 200 homosexuals, but all of them. When the Iranian people finally had enough of it, the staterun Interior Ministry fixed the election to ensure Ahmadinejad remained in power. When protestors took to the streets, the government jailed, attacked, or killed them. Iran is a tyrannical regime, and like all tyrannical regimes goes to great lengths to cover up its misdeeds.

Compare that to the American government. Like all people, the people who run the government and the military do some things that are morally wrong. If they were anyone but the government, they would and should be held accountable for them. However,

wielding the power of the government, they have threatened Assange with execution for holding them to the same standard he would hold any other human being to. This is not what just and free governments do. This is what despotic, cruel governments do.

Making America “the land of the free” once again does not require a perfect government. However, it does require a government that can and will be held accountable for its actions.

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson said that he would not press charges against Assange if elected because, “no one has been harmed as a result of the release.” Johnson’s intent is clear, but his statement is only partially correct. Assange has hurt the United States military simply by holding it accountable for its actions. However, this is what accountability does. It damages the reputations of those who commit immoral actions. If the military didn’t want its reputation to be damaged, it shouldn’t have committed its crimes in the first place. Assange should be lauded, not imprisoned, for exposing the truth.

Students return, partying resumes

By Loumarie Rodriguez Staff Writer

UConn is back in full swing, and not just for classes. As with every year, swarms of students flock to the trails to Carriage and Celeron on weekend nights, seeking out exciting parties.

This past weekend alone, there were lines of students heading out into the night so large they caused traffic along the sidewalks. Traditionally, many freshmen venture up to the set of apartments for their first official college party.

Throngs of students braved the long walk in order to find parties just outside of the UConn campus. The sidewalks were packed

with groups of students either standing around deciding where to go next, attempting to fight some other group, or socializing in front of random people’s front yards. Unfortunately for the residents that live along the path to Celeron and Carriage, they suffered collateral damage over the weekend as students littered their lawns with beer cans, solo cups and even relieved themselves on the side of houses.

However, by the time 10:30 p.m. rolled around, the entrance to Carriage and Celeron was completely shut down by police.

Despite this, students still continued along the path, while others retreated, seeking other par-

ties. Many students attempted to elude police by trying to find a way around the blocked off entrance with little or no success.

Luckily for many of the students, there were plenty of other parties on the trail to Carriage and Celeron whose hosts secretly promoted them. Following one of the best-known unwritten college partying rules, ladies got in for free, while the guys always had to pay some type of fine at the door in order to enter.

When things got out of hand, many hosts guarding the doors became a bit physical in order to keep unwanted guests out.

Once inside the crowded parties, the houses were extremely

hot and a lot of people were falling all over the place unable to keep their balance. Despite the uncomfortable conditions many people still attempted to cram in through the door to attend these parties.

Deep in the house parties, typically in the basements, are makeshift dance floors. Even in the dark depths of the basements, crowds of students bunched together attempting to dance. Within these basements, the heat intensity was sweltering while the air smelled of sweat.

Many people who emerge from the basement were red faced and drenched with sweat.

If people were uncomfortable inside, the outside of the par-

ties weren’t much better. The backyards were pitch-black and infested with bugs that ate partygoers alive, all the while even more crowds of people stood around socializing.

Some nights are more successful than others when students go out searching the streets near Carriage and Celeron for a party. Depending on an individual’s tastes for a fun weekend, students will continue the same routine throughout the school year in order to have a good time even with the same uncomfortable conditions inside and temperatures slowly dropping through fall and beyond.

First Late Night welcomes freshmen to campus

FILE PHOTO/The Daily Campus

Students participate in Late Night festivities in this Daily Campus file photo from 2009. The weekly event at the Student Union began its fall schedule on Friday night, welcoming old and new students alike back to campus and gave them a chance to meet new classmates.

By Katie McWilliams Campus Correspondent As the stress and excitement of freshman move-in day subsided Friday night, Week of Welcome kicked off with the freshman ice cream social and a night of fun and games at “Welcome Back to Late Night.”

In true UConn fashion, students were presented with UConn Dairy Bar ice cream and an assortment of topping and encouraged to mingle with other new students. After the ice cream social, students moved from Fairfield Way to the Union

to experience the first Late Night of the year. As usual, karaoke was offered, as well as glow in the dark mini golf, human bowling, and virtual horse races. For the crafting types, airbrush drawstring bags were up for personalization, and many students took advantage of the opportunity to get some monogrammed gear.

Photo whiteboards were also available for the making and students took pleasure in posing with their friends or roommates for a silly whiteboard.

Other than gimmicks and a good time, Late Night was the first opportunity most

In royal photo scandal, some see Murdoch’s message

LONDON (AP) — By letting his top-selling U.K. tabloid run photos of a naked Prince Harry cavorting in a Las Vegas hotel room, some say media mogul Rupert Murdoch was warning Britain’s establishment that he could still shake things up.

British officialdom has largely turned its back on Murdoch because of the phone-hacking scandal that has badly tainted his media empire over the past year. So even though Murdoch’s The Sun newspaper framed its decision to publish the nude pictures as a defense of press freedom, some observers saw the move as a feisty message from the tycoon.

“Not only was The Sun showing Harry’s bottom, Murdoch was mooning the Establishment,” said journalist Jane Merrick, whose article in The Independent on Sunday alleged that Murdoch personally ordered the paper to run the photos in a phone call with Tom Mockridge, the chief of his British newspaper unit, News International.

Murdoch, once assiduously courted by lawmakers across the British political spectrum, has seen his clout wither after his company was exposed as having hacked into the phones of hundreds of people to score scoops.

Allegations of bribery, corruption, computer hacking, and obstruction of justice are being investigated, and the scandal has prompted a judge-led media ethics inquiry that could propose sweeping changes to how Britain’s press is policed — potentially sub-

jecting newspapers to government regulation.

If The Sun was cowed, it didn’t show it Friday, when it published the pictures of Harry along with a lengthy public interest justification claiming that the “the photos have potential implications for the Prince’s image representing Britain around the world.”

A picture of the unclad royal — clutching an unidentified woman — had already been bouncing back and forth across the Internet for the better part of two days. Newspapers around the world ran the pictures, but with the prominent exception of The Sun, British media largely held its fire.

News International has declined to comment on what role, if any, the 81-year-old Murdoch played in the decision to run the photos, but the mogul’s Twitter posts suggested that, at the very least, he’d been following the issue closely.

In a message to a user who congratulated him on The Sun’s challenge to the royal family, Murdoch said he “needed to demonstrate (that there is) no such thing as free press in UK.” “Internet makes mockery of these issues,” he said, adding that Britain could use some First Amendment-style legislation.

But the mogul also extended an olive branch to the royals, telling his followers to give the prince “a break.”

“He may be on the public payroll one way or another, but the public loves him,” Murdoch wrote.

freshmen had to meet their peers and bond as the university’s class of 2016.

The activities provided the platform for social engagement with students sharing their move in stories and marveling at the large-scale university events.

Olivia Rossetti, a 1st-semester business major, was pleasantly surprised by Late Night. “When they described late night at orientation I imagined a small group of kids in a room, it definitely wasn’t what I expected,” she said.

Alex Nguyen, a 2nd-semester biology student who moved in early, also noted

Loumarie.Rodriguez@UConn.edu

that the first Late Night of the year was more fun than he expected. “The mini golf was great…I’ve been coming for a year and I always bring my friends for a good time,” he said.

With the stress of moving in still in the recent past, freshmen were keen to share their experiences from their first day of independent life. The hot topics, predictably, were the presence of lofted beds in the dorms and the chaos of move in.

Most freshmen expressed their reservations at sleeping at an elevated level, but Sam Kleinman, a 1st-semester political science major, easily adjusted to the great heights.

“I was used to it, because of going to sleep away camp, so it was an easy adjustment,” he said.

As for moving in, most students agreed that Husky Haulers, an organization that assigns upperclassmen to ease the move in process, really facilitated the process. “They made everything really easy, they brought my stuff upstairs before I could even come back down from one load,” said Rosetti. Kleinman agreed, but offered the opinion that moving in early had its benefits as well. “Early move in was advantageous, you miss the rush.”

Overall freshmen expressed their satisfaction with the Husky WOW events and thought that the programs helped them to have a fun and stress free first night on campus. According to Kleinman, the Husky WOW activities were versatile and useful to everyone. He said, “I don’t know how you could have a bad experience, unless you fell off a building or something.”

Snooki of ‘Jersey Shore’ has baby boy NEW YORK (AP) — “Jersey Shore” star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi early Sunday gave birth to her first child, a boy.

The reality TV star and her fiance, Jionni LaValle, welcomed 6-pound, 5-ounce Lorenzo Dominic LaValle into the world at just before 3 a.m. Sunday at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J., MTV said.

“The world just got another Guido!!!,” a Polizzi rep told MTV. “Nicole, Jionni & Enzo are doing great!”

MTV congratulated Polizzi and her fiance and looked toward

the newborn’s possible appearance on “Jersey Shore.”

“We couldn’t be happier for Nicole and Jionni on the healthy delivery of their baby boy!,” MTV said in a statement. “We look forward to Lorenzo’s first trip to the Jersey Shore and can’t wait to see his first animal print onesie.”

MTV has said it’s bringing “Jersey Shore” back for a sixth season, with the 24-year-old Snooki as part of the action, but has declined to offer specifics on how big a part Snooki will play in the show .about hard-partying ItalianAmerican friends.

Avoiding the freshman (or upperclassman) 15

By Deepti Boddapati Campus Correspondent

Being away from one’s family and living in a dorm for the first time can be daunting. You suddenly find yourself doing a lot of new things; making new friends, getting used to a new living situation, eating out all the time and maybe even partying.

With so many things to juggle, you might find yourself forgetting to watch what you’re eating. And with all-you-caneat buffets and a multitude of friends to have meals with, is it any wonder that students may gain weight?

Here are a couple tips to avoid common mistakes college students make with their diets.

Avoid the Junk Food

Most dining halls provide hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches and pizza at every meal. The lines for this food are usually short. It might seem like a good idea to just pick some pizza up and not wait in line for the other options, but it might end up costing you in the long run.

Junk food will give you a lot of fat and carbs, with very little other nutrition. A diet of just junk food will slow you down, make you sleepy, and ultimately curb your academic achievement.

Drink water, not soda.

All the dining halls have soda fountains, so many people have soda with each meal. Soda is filled with sugar and is, in many, cases the cause of weight gain. Diet soda might actually be a worse choice than normal soda. A study by the American Diabetes Association showed that diet soda drinkers had waist sizes 70 percent larger than normal soda drinkers and 500 percent larger than those who didn’t drink any soda.

Frequent the salad bar.

Many of the dining halls feature great salad bars and fresh vegetable options. Whitney Dining Hall has a great selection of vegetables, many of which are locally grown.

Grab an apple.

Many dining halls place apples, pears and bananas near the exit so patrons can pick them up as they leave. Eating an apple on the way to class or to your dorm room is a great way to pack in nutrition. Eating fibrous fruits will also help keep you fuller for longer.

Don’t forget to exercise.

AP

Snooki, star of MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” gave birth to her first child early Sunday morning.

A quiet exit for Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, on TV NEW YORK (AP) — By the yardstick of history, Neil Armstrong was among the most accomplished men ever to walk on the planet that he looked upon from afar one magical week in July 1969.

Television news didn’t seem to fully recognize the importance of the first human to walk on the moon on the weekend he died.

In the hours after Armstrong’s death was announced, news networks were airing canned programming — jailhouse documentaries, a rerun interview with Rielle Hunter, Mike Huckabee’s weekend show.

1890 - Man Ray 1906 - Ed Gein 1952 - Paul Reubens 1979 - Aaron Paul

Menacing satellite pictures of Tropical Storm Isaac had much more air time than Armstrong’s dusty hops on the lunar surface.

Talk of the upcoming GOP national convention sucked up the air.

A trio of factors played into the lack of attention.

First, Armstrong died in Cincinnati on a Saturday. Not just any Saturday, when news organizations have a skeletal staff, but a late August weekend. Half the country is at the beach. It’s not a stretch to think inexperience on duty might have played a role in NBC News’ embarrassing

gaffe: a website headline that read: “Astronaut Neil Young, first man to walk on the moon, dies at age 82.” (NBC called it a staffer error and said the mistake was taken down after seven minutes.)

His death came as somewhat of a surprise, too. Everyone dies, of course, and most news organizations have prepared material on hand to mark the passing of famous people. In many cases, though, there is advance word that someone is very ill, giving the media a chance to prepare and plan.

From the crew team to ballroom, UConn offers many club sports. Joining these is a great way to keep moving even when you feel obligated to shut yourself in for the night and study at all hours. A healthy balance is important to academic performance and your new friends in your club/sport might be the perfect people to remind you of that.

If you don’t want to make a commitment, there are many other options like the UConn Bodywise program which offers classes from Zumba to spinning. These classes take place next to the Putnam dining hall and require sign ups a half hour prior to the start of the class.

If you keep these tips in mind you’ll be able to avoid the unhealthy freshman fifteen (or sophomore, junior or senior fifteen), stay healthy and keep yourself in top condition for school.

By Alex Sferrazza Campus Correspondent Late night television has become oversaturated in the past two decades. For 30 years- from 1962 to 1992- no one had ever successfully toppled the king of late night, Tonight Show host Johnny Carson, from his perch as the most successful late night TV host. Beginning with David Letterman’s move to CBS in 1993 after Jay Leno was awarded “The Tonight Show,” nearly every other network has tried their hand at capturing a piece of the Late Night crowd. However not even Jay or Dave’s audiences of two to four million have come close to the dominance enjoyed by Johnny Carson. This is perhaps due to the oversaturation the market currently has.

ABC has decided to move

“Jimmy Kimmel Live” from its current timeslot of 12:00/12:05 a.m. back to 11:30/11:35 p.m. this coming January marking the 10th anniversary of Kimmel’s show. This will push the long-running news program “Nightline” back one hour.

With this move, there will now be six different late night talk shows on partially or in full between the hour of 11 p.m. EST and 12:35 a.m. EST. These include “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” on Comedy Central, “Conan” on TBS, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC, “The Late Show” on CBS and “The Tonight Show” on NBC. This is not even counting “The Late Late Show” and “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” which are on CBS and NBC respectively at 12:35 EST. This brings

the total to eight different late night talk shows that reach the airwaves.

Despite the over-saturation, the move might indeed prove a smart one for ABC. In the past year, between Letterman, Leno and Kimmel, Kimmel is the only late night host to have seen his ratings increase (3 percent) in the past year. In addition, as Leno and Letterman get older, so do their audiences. A poll broadcast on CBS’s “Entertainment Tonight,” shows that Kimmel’s viewers median age is 51, about five full years younger than either Leno or Letterman’s audience.

And we all know how much advertisers like younger audiences.

Speaking of advertisers, “The Late Show” and “The Tonight Show” take in almost $400 million in advertising

revenue annually, far and away more than “Nightline” does on ABC. Putting a late night talk show at 11:35 will enable ABC to collect a share of that pie.

The move is a no brainer for ABC. Jimmy Kimmel has deserved it as well. His brand of comedy has been under appreciated due to the crowded market but his may change things. Emmy viewers certainly have noticed the comic’s value, nominating “Jimmy Kimmel Live” for Outstanding Variety Series for the first time.

Only time will tell who the real winner will be in these renewed “Late Night Wars,” but Kimmel’s move proves that ABC isn’t afraid to take on the big players at night.

Futuristic ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ parody not so hot

What I’m Watching “Louie” FX, 10 p.m.

Thursday There’s not too much left to say about Louis C.K. at this point.

The dude’s sold out a grassroots national tour (including a few stops in Hartford!), garners more Emmy nominations than you’d think possible for a vulgar comedian and roughly rules the comedy world right now with his fantastic stand-up and even better television show.

While I’ve only seen a few episodes of this newest season in passing, I’ve also been catching up on a few back-episodes via Netflix. At this point, it can be said that while the show’s always been great, it just keeps improving further almost by episode.

There’s a sense of, well, sense throughout Louie’s work in season three. He always catches the right theme for a moment. When the punchline is “crying strippers,” the show’s raucous. And when Louie touches on a serious theme (like when his daughter goes missing), it’s easy to be gripped by the drama. Louie’s a genius.

Now entering its seventh season, ‘Futurama’ still remains at the top of its game. However, it fell short in recent episode “Viva Mars Vegas,” which features the Planet Express Crew venturing off to Mars to gamble while Zoidberg is left behind.

By Alex Sferrazza Campus Correspondent Despite being subjected to what is quite possibly the most irregular production schedule in animated television history, Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s masterful Emmy Award winning television series “Futurama” has managed to make it all the way to a seventh season. Featuring some truly fantastic episodes, the show’s writing staff remains at the top of their game.

The most recent episode to air, “Viva Mars Vegas,” features some truly hilarious moments but does not stand up to the best episodes of the season.

Nonetheless, it is far from a chore to watch and an excellent use of 30 minutes of your life.

The episode begins with the Planet Express crew complaining that Earth is boring.

Also entertaining was this weeks opening sequence which in lieu of the typical animated intro featured a real life model of the actual intro made out of plastic, cardboard, and model ships. While not significant to the plot in any way, it was a nice visual gag.

Overall, this was an entertaining episode of “Futurama,” but not up to par with some other episodes of the season. While featuring some clever gags, and great appearances by some of the series’ excellent recurring characters, the overall plot becomes a bit too ridiculous at times to allow the viewer to properly suspend disbelief. It’ll give you a laugh but it is not an example of the best the series has to offer.

‘True Blood’ cookbook full of crimson delicacies

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — “True Blood” fans can soon concoct their own blood-red beet bisque, crimson sweet tea and other Cajun delicacies inspired by the hit HBO vampire drama and compiled in a new cookbook.

“True Blood” is filmed partly in Louisiana and is set in the fictional Louisiana town of Bon Temps. The state’s cuisine is often referenced in the series, where vampires and mortals mingle over bowls of okra gumbo, jambalaya, and red beans and rice.

The cookbook, “True Blood: Eats, Drinks, and Bites from Bon Temps,” was compiled by Cajun chef Marcelle Bienvenu and is being released in bookstores on Wednesday, shortly after Sunday’s broadcast of the show’s fifth-season finale.

“I’m going to be honest with you, I had never seen the show before they asked me to do this cookbook,” said Bienvenu, a chef from the Cajun town of St. Martinville, La., who lived in New Orleans for several years and now teaches culinary arts at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La. “I sat down and watched it with my notebook, and I was amazed how much food was mentioned in the series,” she said. “It was fun making the recipes come to life. I think people are still mystified by south Louisiana food. There’s still such a mystique about the food and culture here.”

“True Blood” stars real-life husband and wife actors Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.

Paquin plays the show’s beloved heroine Sookie Stackhouse, a mostly human waitress who falls for vampire Bill Compton, a Confederate veteran turned into a bloodsucker played by Moyer.

In the cookbook, recipes are accompanied with pictures and excerpts from the series. For instance, a recipe for creamy crawfish dip is displayed among pictures from a scene in which Stackhouse drives to Shreveport, La., to see a werewolf but is instead greeted at the door by Debbie Pelt, a character who has twice tried to kill her.

In the scene, Debbie offers Sookie a helping of crawfish dip.

Besides food, the cookbook includes nearly two-dozen drink recipes with names like Tequila Moonrise, Lovin’ in the Coven and Moonshine Rising.

“The drinks were a lot of fun to make,” said Bienvenu, who consulted a bartender friend from Thibodaux, La., to create the mixtures. She also used her students at Nicholls State University to test her food recipes, she said.

Bienvenu said that while the recipes have been given names inspired by the series, “these are real recipes for food we here in Louisiana eat all the time. I think people are really going to enjoy them.”

Bienvenu said “True Blood,” which is shown in some 50 countries worldwide, has been a great way to showcase Louisiana’s unique cuisine — eats like gumbo, jambalaya and etouffee and ingredients like tasso, Andouille sausage, okra, cayenne pepper, yams and mirlitons.

The show’s season five finale is Sunday, and the network announced earlier this year that “True Blood” will be returning for a sixth season next year.

James Costos, vice president of licensing and retail for HBO, said the cookbook was a natural extension for the show, which already has a fragrance and beauty product line.

“The senses play a huge part in ‘True Blood,’” Costos said.

The cookbook is another way to tap into “the carnal desires that are played out on screen.”

Anti-Obama doc highlights weak Hollywood newcomers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood may have run out of summer hits, but an anti-Obama documentary is helping to fill the gap.

Holdover movies easily topped the weekend box office again, led by Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables 2” at No. 1 for the second-straight weekend with $13.5 million.

The weekend’s new wide releases were overshadowed by “2016: Obama’s America,” which expanded from limited to nationwide release and took in $6.2 million to finish at No. 8.

The documentary is a conservative critique of what the country would look like four years from now if President Barack Obama is re-elected.

Released by Rocky Mountain Pictures, “Obama’s America” nearly matched the $6.3 million debut of the No. 7 movie, Joseph GordonLevitt’s action tale “Premium Rush,” a Sony release that played in more than twice as many theaters as the Obama documentary.

The weekend’s other new wide releases opened weakly. Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell’s road-chase comedy “Hit & Run,” released by Open Road Films, debuted at No. 10 with $4.7 million, and the Warner Bros. fright flick “The Apparition” opened at No. 12 with $3 million.

The weak openings are typical of late August, a dumping ground for movies without much audience appeal as the summer blockbuster season winds down and young viewers switch to back-to-school mode.

But with less competition from Hollywood releases, it also opens the door for surprise successes such as “Obama’s America.”

“It’s extremely rare for a documentary to break into the top-10, but August can be a land of opportunity for smaller films,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “Also, there’s the fact that this is a very conserva-

tive film. Normally, it’s Michael Moore-branded documentaries, the liberal documentaries that make all the money.”

“Obama’s America” opened in a handful of theaters in mid-July and did strong business as it gradually widened to more cities. It jumped into the top-10 this weekend as it expanded into 1,091 theaters, leading all other wide releases with an average of $5,717 a cinema.

That’s a solid average, especially for a political documentary. But it pales next to the king of political documentaries, Moore’s George W. Bush assault “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which opened at No. 1 with $23.9 million in June 2004, averaging $27,558 in 868 theaters.

“Fahrenheit 9/11” went on to become the top-grossing documentary ever AP with $119.1 million This undated image provided by Rocky Mountain Pictures, shows an undated film clip from “2016: Obama’s America”.

Two Pussy Riot members flee Russia to escape arrest after search

AP

A Russian man holds a doll dressed like a member of the Pussy Riot band during an opposition rally in downtown Moscow, Russia, Sunday, Aug. 19, 2012.

MOSCOW (AP) — Two members of the punk band Pussy Riot have fled Russia to avoid prosecution for a protest against Vladimir Putin that sent three of their band mates to prison, the group said Sunday.

Five members of the feminist group took part in a provocative performance inside Moscow’s main cathedral in February to protest the Russian leader’s rule and his cozy relationship with the Orthodox Church.

The women wore their trade-

mark garishly colored balaclavas, which made it difficult for police to identify them, and only three were arrested.

After a controversial trial that highlighted Putin’s crackdown on dissent since he began a third presidential term in May, the three band members were convicted of hooliganism and sentenced to two years in prison on Aug. 17. Days later, Moscow police said they were searching for the other band members, an apparent warning to the group to

stop its anti-Putin protests.

Even as the judge was reading the verdict in a Moscow courtroom, one of the band members who had escaped arrest played Pussy Riot’s latest song, “Putin sets the fires of revolutions,” from the balcony of an apartment building across the street.

Pussy Riot tweeted on Sunday that the two activists had fled Russia and are “recruiting foreign feminists to prepare new protest actions.” No mention was made of where they went.

Philly gets ready to host Jay-Z’s “Made In America” megafest

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The city where America was made is gearing up for rapper Jay-Z’s “Made In America” music festival, which officials estimate will attract 100,000 fans to Philadelphia over Labor Day weekend.

Construction of stages and tents began this week at the somewhat unusual venue, a tree-lined boulevard in the heart of downtown. It’s the first show on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to require paid admission. Rock stalwarts Pearl Jam are co-headliners of the two-day event.

Officials said there should be no problem handling the crowd considering the city’s long tradition of staging much larger concerts at the same location.

“Every year, we have detailed plans for public safety, street access, trash removal and we successfully accommodate 400,000 to 500,000 visitors on the 4th of July,” Mayor Michael Nutter said in a statement.

For those who can’t make the festival on either Sept. 1 or 2, don’t worry — filmmaker Ron Howard will be directing a movie about the show.

Overall, city officials expect 50,000 paying fans each day for the bill curated by Jay-Z,

whose real name is Shawn Carter. Musicians include Skrillex, Drake, Afrojack, Chris Cornell, Run-DMC and hometown favorite Jill Scott. time Concerts will run from 2-11 p.m. on three stages, one of which will be near the Museum of Art steps made famous in the film “Rocky.”

“Thirty amazing acts are coming together to perform at one of Philadelphia’s most iconic sites,” Geoff Gordon, regional president for concert promoter Live Nation, said in a statement Friday.

Gary and Kristin Camp of Wilmington, Del., were enticed by the lineup and bought a pair of two-day passes. Though they have some questions about logistics and transportation, Gary Camp said they’re prepared for a couple of long days and are looking forward to the show — especially Pearl Jam. “I think it’s going to be an exciting event in a unique setting,” Camp said.

Organizers say the blockslong site will be enclosed by 8-foot-high double-fencing patrolled by security. Material woven into the chain-link barrier is designed to keep nonpaying spectators from seeing the show.

It’s a big change from previous parkway music events, which have been free. That includes annual Independence Day shows featuring performers like Sheryl Crow and The Roots, as well as the Live

8 concert for African poverty relief in 2005 and a Bruce Springsteen set in 2008.

As of Friday, two-day passes for “Made In America” cost $135 each, while a one-day ticket was $75. VIP passes, and travel packages with hotel rooms, ranged from $350 to nearly $2,200. Prices could go up closer to the concert date.

Mark Nevins, who lives in the nearby Fairmount neighborhood, is interested in seeing Pearl Jam. But he said sitting through an hourslong festival for one band seemed like a lot of time and effort.

“I’m hoping I can hear it from my house, or maybe head down toward the parkway and listen in from the outside,” Nevins said.

It certainly wouldn’t be surprising to see people trying to catch a few free tunes from outside the perimeter. But officials stress that fence-climbers will be prosecuted.

Also, Hollywood producers Howard and Brian Grazer (“A Beautiful Mind,” ‘’The Da Vinci Code”) have signed on to make a film about the festival. The pair’s 2007 movie “American Gangster,” about a notorious Harlem drug lord, inspired Jay-Z’s album by the same name.

“Made In America” is sponsored by Budweiser and will be held rain or shine. It benefits United Way organizations in greater Philadelphia and southern New Jersey; Lancaster, Pa., and New York City.

Manning on the money in Broncos' loss to 49ers

DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning was magnificent in his final regular-season tuneup Sunday, throwing his first two touchdown passes for the Denver Broncos in a 29-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Manning completed 10 of 12 passes for 122 yards, including TD tosses of 10 and 5 yards to Eric Decker, and was nearly perfect. The two misses were a dropped pass by Joel Dreessen and an errant pass to Brandon Stokley, who was held on the play but didn't draw the flag.

After managing one TD to go with four turnovers in his first seven possessions this preseason, Manning drove the Broncos (1-2) to scores on all three of his possessions, then put on his visor with 46 seconds left in the first quarter after staking Denver to a 17-0 lead.

Alex Smith threw a 49-yard TD pass and David Akers kicked five field goals for the Niners (2-1), who outscored the Broncos' backups 19-0 in the second half but lost wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. to an ankle injury early in the second half.

For the second straight week,

the Broncos' backups were awful. In blowing a 24-10 halftime lead, they've been outscored 40-0 after halftime in the last two games.

Denver's first drive stalled when the replacement officials failed to whistle cornerback Carlos Rogers for a blatant hold on a third-down pass to Stokley, and the Broncos settled for Matt Prater's 53-yard field goal.

Manning was money after that.

He completed all six of his passes for 83 yards on a long drive that ended with his first touchdown throw in orange and blue, a 10-yard strike to Decker, who beat Rogers over the middle.

The highlight of drive was a 38-yard pass to running back Lance Ball, who left the game with a rib injury. Manning was blasted by linebacker Parys Haralson in the chest right as he released his longest pass of the preseason. Manning bounced right up, raced downfield, lined up in the no-huddle and hit running back Willis McGahee for 14 yards to the San Francisco 12.

It was the second time Manning, who missed all of last season with a neck injury that required four operations, had been hit hard in the preseason, and both times he responded with a big pass for the first down.

Linebacker Wesley Woodyard recovered a fumbled snap for the Broncos (No. 10 in the AP Pro 32) at the San Francisco 24, and four plays later, Manning found Decker wide open by the back left pylon for his second touchdown and a 17-0 lead over the 49ers (No. 4).

The Broncos' onside kick backfired when Matthew Willis touched the ball about a yard early, and Smith found tight end Vernon Davis all alone along the left sideline for a 49-yard score.

Then, Hanie underthrew Decker and former Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox intercepted at midfield. That led to Akers' first field goal, from 33 yards out.

Hanie threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Dreessen that made it 24-10 at halftime.

Smith finished 5 of 7 for 69 yards, but his pocket of protection was much better than it had

been during the preseason. He was sacked just once.

San Francisco's ground game, which had gained an NFL-best 378 yards through the first two weeks of the preseason, was stymied by the Broncos, who had allowed the Seattle Seahawks to rush for 228 yards a week earlier.

With LaMichael James (left ankle) and Brandon Jacobs (left knee) sitting this one out, the 49ers were held to 14 yards on nine first-half carries, including two runs for minus-4 yards by Frank Gore.

That all changed after halftime as the Niners finished with 139 yards rushing.

Anthony Dixon had a 26-yard TD run and Akers kicked field goals of 45, 21, 32 and 44 yards.

The 32-yarder came after a nearly 5-minute delay while officials tried to figure out the line of scrimmage following a confusing sequence that included a challenge that wasn't allowable and a 15-yard penalty flag that was picked up.

During that time, the officiating crew huddled with an NFL representative on the sideline.

Huskies shut out St. Francis from TOP DOGS, page 12 Reigning Big East Goalkeeper of the Year Andre Blake made the one save as the UConn defense limited St. Francis to only three shots. The sophomore recorded his first shutout of the season after recording 15 shutouts in 2011.

“I think we were pretty good for part of the first half and the first 20 of the second half,” head coach Ray Reid said. “I didn’t like how we took our foot off the gas.”

Reid has been fine-tuning the right formation with the arrival of the midfielder Beso, the sophomore speedster is entering his first regular season after playing for Villarreal youth team of the Spanish La Liga, the top professional league in Spain.

“I think he’s played really well. We will see what happens when we play physical teams like Notre Dame and St. John’s,” Reid said. “Once Alvarez gets going I think those two will be pretty good together.”

The Huskies continue their non-conference schedule on Friday at home against Dartmouth at 7 p.m.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers spent much of the offseason trying to build an offensive line that could keep franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger upright — and healthy — for an entire year.

In one squeamish sequence on Saturday night, the Steelers were forced to move on to Plan B. Pittsburgh lost rookie guard David DeCastro to a gruesome right knee injury in the first quarter of an otherwise dominant 38-7 preseason win over the Buffalo Bills. The 24th overall pick in April's NFL Draft was carted off the field with what coach Mike Tomlin termed a "potentially severe" injury.

DeCastro underwent an MRI on Sunday and while the team declined comment, it was obvious to his teammates he will be gone for an extended period of time.

"He was going to start for us," linebacker Lawrence Timmons said. "I don't know the outcome. It doesn't sound like it's good."

ESPN reported DeCastro dislocated his kneecap and tore his medial collateral ligament but did not tear his anterior cruciate ligament, which would have ended his season.

UConn takes aim at Big East Title

Timbers top Whitecaps 2-1 to end winless streak PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Franck Songo'o scored the goahead goal and the Portland Timbers snapped an eightmatch Major League Soccer winless streak with a 2-1 victory over Pacific Northwest rival Vancouver on Saturday night.

Songo'o's goal, his first with the Timbers, came on a free kick in the 55th minute that beat Whitecaps goalkeeper Joe Cannon.

Portland had not won since a 2-1 victory over San Jose on July 3. The Timbers also lost on penalty kicks to English Premier League side Aston Villa in a friendly on July 24.

"We're all happy now because it's been a long, long, long time since we've had a win," Songo'o said.

The Timbers were 0-6-2 in MLS play going into the soldout Cascadia Cup match against the Whitecaps.

The Cascadia Cup is the annual head-to-head competition between Major League Soccer's three northwest teams: the Timbers, Whitecaps and the Seattle Sounders. Vancouver has yet to win a Cascadia match since joining MLS last season.

The Whitecaps (10-107) are fighting for a playoff spot but they've dropped three straight, including a 2-0 loss to the Sounders last weekend.

Vancouver has lost five straight on the road.

Vancouver's last visit to Portland was a 1-1 draw on May 26, a match that was marked by a delay when a severe thunderstorm rolled through the city.

The Timbers (6-13-6) are in last place in the league's Western Conference and fired coach John Spencer back on July 9. General manager Gavin Wilkinson took over as the team's coach for the rest of the season, but some fans have called for his dismissal, too. One held a large sign at Jeld-Wen Field that said simply "GW OUT." The Cascadia victory may silence the critics for the time being.

Darlington Nagbe ran past Vancouver defender Lee Youngpyo and scored from outside the box in the 41st minute to give the Timbers a 1-0 lead. But Vancouver's Kenny Miller beat Portland goalkeeper Donvan Ricketts to even it just before the half.

Nagbe became the first Timbers player to score in three straight MLS matches.

Songo'o, a native of Cameroon playing in his first MLS season, scored on the free kick from about 25 yards out to put Portland ahead in the second half. Defender Steven Smith saved the lead in the 74th min-

DeCastro on injured reserve — shelving him for the year — or see how his knee responds to treatment. Either way, he'll be out for the foreseeable future.

It's a major blow to a unit that Pittsburgh viewed as an issue after Roethlisberger hobbled his way through the final month of the 2011 season behind a line that struggled protecting him. The Steelers gave up 42 sacks — tied for ninth-most in the league — and Roethlisberger dealt with a series of health issues to his left leg after spraining his foot in a loss to Houston in early October.

DeCastro and fellow rookie Mike Adams — taken in the second round — were supposed to join All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey and second-year tackle Marcus Gilbert as the core of one of the youngest and most highly touted offensive lines in the league. Instead, Adams is going through some very public growing pains and DeCastro — an All-American at Stanford while blocking for quarterback Andrew Luck — will spend an indefinite period in street clothes.

Pittsburgh will likely turn to veteran Ramon Foster to fill in at guard. It's a return to the patchwork effort the Steelers have used in the past with mixed results.

Armstrong at peace after controversy

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — Lance Armstrong was feeling just fine even after being beaten by a lanky teenager in a grueling 36-mile mountain bike race.

Better than fine, even. He's more at ease now than he has been in a decade.

In his first interview since the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency disciplined Armstrong with a lifetime ban from professional cycling and vacated his seven Tour de France titles, he said, "Nobody needs to cry for me. I'm going to be great."

Armstrong couldn't catch Keegan Swirbul at the Power of Four bike race Saturday, finishing nearly five minutes behind the hard-charging kid.

"It's cool to get your butt kicked by a 16-year-old when you know he has a bright future,"

Armstrong said, smiling.

For a few hours, Armstrong was back in his element — on a bike and in a race.

No controversies weighing him down, either.

The escape into the mountains around Aspen was almost refreshing. He took the time to enjoy a bright, blue day and soak in the scenery.

As for what lies ahead, Armstrong wasn't thinking that far — only toward lunch.

Armstrong chatted for a few minutes before saying, "OK, I'm going to go eat a cheeseburger."

Before leaving, though, he posed for pictures with the throng of fans that gathered at the base of a ski lift to watch the racers finish.

Asked if there was anything he would to say to his fans, the ones

who've supported him through the controversy, he said: "I think people understand that we've got a lot of stuff to do going forward.

That's what I'm focused on and I think people are supportive of that. It's great to be out here."

Decked out in black and gold and sporting a Livestrong emblem on his jersey, Armstrong tinkered with his bike and gave a kiss to girlfriend Anna Hansen before pedaling off. Hansen was waiting at the finish, too.

So were plenty of other members of the Armstrong entourage.

His busy weekend was supposed to include a trail marathon Sunday. But he told The Associated Press two hours later he was going to skip the race.

This competition simply took that much out of him. With good reason, given all the climbing the

cyclists had to do.

And while Armstrong may be banned from cycling, it certainly hasn't diminished his passion for competition.

Only now, these weekend races may have to suffice.

"It's not so much about racing anymore for me," Armstrong said. "For me, it's more about staying fit and coming out here and enjoying one of the most beautiful parts of the world, on a beautiful day, on a very hard course. Some may say you're a little sick to spend your free time doing stuff like this. I had a good time."

So did Swirbul — beating his idol was the highlight of his burgeoning career.

AP Or so he thought. Then came this: Armstrong saying Swirbul Lance Armstrong negotiates the route on his way to a second-place finish in the Power of was a rider to keep an eye on Four mountain bicycle race at the base of Aspen Mountain in Aspen, Colo

UConn returns multiple starters from UNFINISHED, page 12 in front of a sold out Joseph J. Morrone Stadium.

UConn dominatewd the ball and spent much of the match pinning St. Francis in their own half. Despite having most of the ball and creating many goal scoring opportunities, the Huskies finishing let them down and were only able to score after St. Francis defender Satchel McLean made a heavy footed challenge in the box on forward Stephane Diop to give the Huskies a PK which Diouf coolly slotted home.

With the first win of the season under his belt head coach Ray Reid was pleased with the Huskies performance but he also knows there is still room for improvement.

“I thought we played well, but we really took our foot off the pedal in the second half. We’re only two weeks, it shouldn’t be perfect right now, and now we have another week to prepare [for Dartmouth], said Reid.

An interesting tactical decision was made by Coach Reid to stick with a 4-3-3 formation instead of switching to a 3-5-2, even when Uconn was dominating the ball and St. Francis posing no attacking threat.

“Maybe it’s just my insecurity, my paranoia, but regardless of the formational we should have put the game away,” said Reid.

The men’s soccer team returns to action next Friday, August 31 as they host Dartmouth at 7 p.m. at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium.

Miles.DeGrazia@UConn.edu

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It took two pitches for Adrian Gonzalez to make a major difference with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Gonzalez hit a three-run homer a couple of hours after arriving at his new address, giving Clayton Kershaw all the offensive support he needed in 8-2 victory over Josh Johnson and the Miami Marlins on Saturday night.

"It means a lot to have Adrian here because it gives us a lot more confidence," Dodgers slugger Matt Kemp said. "I mean, this is a guy that can drive in 100-plus runs every year and is a possible 40-home run guy. He really knows the National League well and he's had a lot of success here, so he's definitely going to help us tremendously."

Los Angeles acquired Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto earlier in the day in a blockbuster trade with Boston. During a postgame press conference at home plate with Beckett and Punto,

Gonzalez wore a Mickey Mouse T-shirt — even though he was 35 miles from Disneyland.

"When I heard about the trade, I had to pack really fast," he said.

"I saw this T-shirt and it was like, 'There couldn't be a better shirt to wear today.'"

Gonzalez, a four-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove first baseman, batted cleanup between Kemp and Hanley Ramirez, with Andre Ethier dropped to sixth despite his four hits and four RBIs in Friday night's 11-4 win over the Marlins.

Ethier had his second straight four-hit game Saturday. He gave the Dodgers a 7-2 lead in the fifth with a leadoff homer against reliever Wade LeBlanc and added a bloop single to center in the seventh for his 10th consecutive hit, tying a club record set in 1919 by first baseman Ed Konetchy.

"He's starting to find his swing again and he looks good up there," Kershaw said. "When you have a guy like him hitting sixth,

you know it's a good lineup. I'm sure Andre is fine with it. And if he keeps getting some fastballs to hit, he's going to be really OK with it because there's going to be a lot of RBI chances out there for him."

Kershaw (12-7) pitched threehit ball over eight innings for the new-look Dodgers, who also got a home run from Mark Ellis. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner struck out eight, walked two and yielded one hit in his final six innings while lowering his overall ERA to 2.84.

"I was just trying to pound the strike zone and make their guys swing the bats so that I could get us back in the dugout and get us back out there hitting," said Kershaw, who is 5-1 with a 1.94 ERA in his last six starts. "That's the benefit of having a lead like that. You can just go out there and be aggressive."

Johnson (7-11) threw 89 pitches in three innings, giving up six runs and 10 hits while retiring only nine of the 20 batters he

Agabiti: Shame on the board

Flowers' HR for White Sox beats rain, Mariners 4-3 CHICAGO (AP) — Nate Jones is willing to put up with whatever grief his teammates dish out — as long as it means wins for the Chicago White Sox. Tyler Flowers hit a go-ahead homer just before the final downpour and Chicago beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in a rainshortened game Sunday for its sixth straight victory.

Jones (7-0) escaped a seventh-inning jam after inheriting runners on first and third with nobody out. He earned his second win in two days.

"As a reliever, if you get the win they usually call you 'The Vulture' for the next day or two," Jones said. "But any way that we can get the wins as a team is what we want, no matter who gets it, the starter or the reliever.

"They pick on me a little bit.

It happens. But I'll take it."

The young flamethrower struck out Trayvon Robinson looking after inducing a pair of soft popups. The Mariners had won 10 of 11 before being swept by Chicago.

All three games were decided by one run.

"With his stuff, he's one of those guys that can do that," White Sox slugger Paul Konerko said, referring to Jones. "It was big because it was a game-changing situation right there. He kept us in it."

The White Sox retained their 2½-game lead in the AL Central over the Tigers, who beat the Los Angeles Angels

5-2. Chicago starter Gavin Floyd, however, left after two innings with right elbow discomfort.

Floyd said it was in the same area that cost him a stint on the disabled list in July. He will remain in Chicago to have tests done on Monday.

"It kind of started bothering me a little bit in the first inning, late in the first. And then the second inning, it really started to kind of affect me," Floyd said. "I felt it every time I threw a breaking pitch or even a fastball a little bit."

Capser Wells hit a two-run homer for Seattle.

Immediately following a 6-minute rain delay in the seventh inning, Flowers launched a two-run shot off Kevin Millwood to lead first-place Chicago to its second consecutive series sweep.

Rain continued to pour until the tarp was put on to stay two batters later, and the game was called after a wait of nearly 2 hours.

The start was delayed for 1 hour, 51 minutes due to showers that persisted throughout the game before it was finally stopped.

"You can't draw this up. Guys just battled," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. "With everybody in the bullpen and what they're doing, it's nice."

Floyd allowed a pair of singles to start the game, and Dustin Ackley scored on Jesus Montero's infield single. Floyd limited the first-inning damage

Notre Dame suspends starting RB Cierre Wood

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame suspended starting tailback Cierre Wood two games for violating team rules, leaving the Fighting Irish without their 1,000yard rusher against Navy and Purdue.

Wood led the Irish in rushing last year with 1,102 yards and scored nine rushing touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. Wood, a senior, played in all 13 games

in 2011 with nine starts. Theo Riddick and George Atkinson III will likely be the Irish's top two ball carriers now that Wood is out.

Coach Brian Kelly also announced Sunday that junior defensive end Justin Utupo was suspended for the games against Navy in Dublin, Ireland on Sept. 1 and the home opener the following Saturday against Purdue.

"Our players are aware of

faced in his shortest outing this season. The two-time All-Star has lost four straight starts for the first time in his career.

"I was terrible. That's pretty much it," Johnson said.

"Physically, this was the best I've felt in probably four or five starts.

But I faced their whole lineup in the first inning, and that's not a good sign. I don't want to pitch like that."

Johnson used up 45 pitches during the Dodgers' four-run first, which began with doubles by Ellis and Luis Cruz. Kemp singled Cruz to third and Gonzalez sent a towering drive deep into the lower seats in the right-field corner on an 0-1 pitch.

"It was definitely exciting to see him hit that ball. It definitely gave us some motivation and pumped us up," Kemp said. "We were swinging the bats well in the first inning and Johnson dug himself a little hole. He made a couple of mistakes and some of us made him pay for it with some good, timely hitting."

the standards I set for our program and that failure to meet my expectations will result in consequences," Kelly said in a release. "Justin and Cierre violated our team rules so I've suspended them for the first two games of the season."

Utupo played in 12 games in 2011, primarily on special teams, and was a reserve defensive end on the most recent Notre Dame depth chart.

Earlier, Kelly suspended quarterback Tommy Rees and linebacker Carlo Calabrese for the season opener for their roles in a skirmish with police following an off-campus party in May. The Irish have also lost starting cornerback Lo Wood for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. He underwent surgery on Wednesday.

Shame on you.

Not only that, but then you tried to tell the writers and editors what good content was and what bad content was? Really?

Here’s what you included in your bad content portion of the memo sent to the staff: “Content that catches people or organizations doing bad things. I guess this is ‘journalism’. I think we are aligned on crime and “who started off the year with a police record’.

And that the freshman class lacks some minority demographics’. If in question, have more GOOD than BAD.” Man, that is quite the gem.

Let’s not have the journalists be journalists. That’s a bad idea and it could hurt peoples’ feelings. Let’s just make sure that we write plenty of nice things and make it feel a little bit more like “Seventeen” magazine.

Well, that’s quite the game plan, I’m sure nobody had a problem with it, right?

Well, I mean, nobody except the entire editorial staff that resigned after the memo had a problem with it. I guess they just didn’t like “real journalism” as the board saw it.

The students ultimately won this battle and now get to do journalism as they see fit. But to think the board was assuming the students would have no qualms whatsoever having their newspaper turned into a P.R. agency that they couldn’t control was extremely laughable.

Nick Watney raises his trophy in the air after winning The Barclays golf tournament at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, N.Y.

BOSTON (AP) — With a well-placed ground ball up the middle, James Loney showed he can fit in at Fenway Park — just like Chavez Ravine.

Loney hit a tying single in his Boston debut, Jacoby Ellsbury drove in the go-ahead run an inning later and the revamped Red Sox bounced back from a nine-player trade and a 12-inning loss to beat the Kansas City Royals 8-6 on Sunday.

“I’m glad I’m here. It’s one of the best atmospheres in baseball,” Loney said after getting his first AL hit in his first game following the deal that brought him to Boston. “It felt good getting that opportunity, having a chance to deliver. I just want to keep that up.”

A day after he was the only major leaguer coming to Boston in a deal that sent Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Nick Punto and more than $250 million in salary to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Loney went 1 for 5. Pedro Ciriaco had three hits, scored twice and drove in two runs for the Red Sox, who won for just the fourth time in 12 games.

Loney also made a nice pickup at first base on a short-hop throw from third baseman Ciriaco, but grounded into a rally-ending double play in the bottom half.

Pedro Beato (1-0) allowed two runs in twoplus innings but got the win on the same day he was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket. Mark Melancon pitched the ninth for his first save.

Will Smith (4-6) allowed five runs — four earned — and nine hits in five-plus innings for Kansas City.

Lorenzo Cain hit a three-run homer as the Royals scored four times with two outs in the fourth to take a 4-2 lead.

“That’s the mark of a team that battles, those two-out rallies,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“I don’t know if I’d rather have bases loaded with no outs or bases loaded and two outs. We seem to score more runs. We had an opportunity to score a lot more there.”

Ciriaco hit a solo homer in the fifth, then Ellsbury singled, advanced on a grounder, stole third and scored on Loney’s single to center.

Ellsbury’s RBI single in the sixth — after the first of two costly errors by shortstop Alcides Escobar — gave the Red Sox the lead.

“I’m trying to field the ball in front of me,” Escobar said. “It’s hard for me right now. I try to play hard with my defense. I know I can hit right now. I feel really bad right now, two errors in one game is bad for me.”

It was 7-4 in the seventh when the Royals loaded the bases with nobody out to chase Beato.

Moments that made me say really?

www.dailycampus.com

HUSKIES EMERGE AS TOP DOGS Men’s Soccer wins home opener against Terriers

By Danny Maher Staff Writer

Dan Agabiti Not going to lie, SNL isn’t anywhere close to what it used to be back in the days of Sandler, Farley and Ferrell.

But I have to say, the “Really?” segments with Seth and Amy are hilarious. So here are some moments from this summer that left me saying, “Really?”

Roger Clemens: Really, Roger Clemens?

Really? You’re 50 and you still feel like pitching? Brett Favre even thinks it’s time for you to hang it up.

You’re with the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League for crying out loud. Is there anybody outside of Sugar Land, Texas who can point to it on a map? Probably not.

Is it the attention that you want? Do you not feel loved or something? I just don’t understand your logic here.

I mean, seriously, you went three and a third innings and you said, “I probably overextended myself a little bit” after the outing. It sounds to me like the Bridgeport Bluefish gave you a good run for your money.

Just do yourself a favor, and hang it up. For good.

The entire Boston Red Sox’ front office: Really Boston? Really? The Sox were completely falling apart in just about every way imaginable, and you spent so much time in the press conferences telling the fans that it was all okay and then you have a clearance sale?

Don’t act like baseball fans are idiots. You can’t expect us to assume that everything has been just fine and dandy in Beantown all summer and that it was just a few injuries that were holding you back after you go and trade AGon, Punto, Beckett and Crawford.

After he traded those guys to the Dodgers, Sox’ GM Ben Cherington was quoted saying, “We recognized that we are not who we want to be right now and it’s been a large enough sample of performance going back to last year. We felt like in order to be the team that we wanted to be on the field we needed to make more than cosmetic changes.”

“Cosmetic changes?”

Translation: “Well, that didn’t work out. We got rid of some of our problem guys and now we’ll just try to start from scratch. Sorry about that practically year-long hiccup.”

Chad Johnson: Really Chad?

Really?

Somebody gives you another chance to play football, a chance which you in no way deserved, and then you go and get arrested for domestic battery charges?

I mean, a headbut? To your wife? What are you, an MMA fighter? To me, the kicker here is that she had a three-inch cut on her head and you tried to to convince us that it was she who headbutted you.

Even though you are pretty hard-headed and rather egotistical, your little alibi is a little much for me to believe.

The Board of Directors for the Red and Black of the University of Georgia: Really board of directors?

Really? You tried to tell a student-run collegiate newspaper that there will be a non-student who has the final say in the content that runs in the paper?

Huskies have unfinished business

By Miles DeGrazia Staff Writer The University of Connecticut men’s soccer team is coming into the 2012 season with the weight of Big East and National Championship expectations on their shoulders.

Ranked No. 4 in the NSCAA Coaches Poll and number one in the Soccer America Poll, the Huskies are a legitimate contender to end the season with silverware.

After a heartbreaking end to the 2011 season, losing the Big East conference tournament title match in extra time 1-0 to St. Johns and being knocked out at the quarter final stage of the NCAA tournament through a penalty kick shootout for the second straight season, the Huskies are focused on learning from last season mistakes.

Cascio and defender Andrew Jean-Baptiste, who both now play in Major League Soccer.

With the nucleus of a very successful 2011 team all returning, the preseason awards flowed freely. Andre Blake (Unanimous 1st team), Mamadou Doudou Diouf (1st team), Carlos Alvarez (2nd team), and Jossimar Sanchez (3rd team) were all members of the Preseason All-Big East team. In addition Alvarez and Blake were both named on the 42-man MAC Hermann Trophy (Best Collegiate Soccer Player) short list.

As a team the Huskies were tipped to finished first in the Big East Blue Division, and were in the top four of the three major preseason polls.

The 2012 starting lineup will look very similar to the 2011 one, but with a few tweaks.

Between the posts will be one of, if not the best, goalkeeper in the nation, Andre Blake.

Blake was already one of the

best pure shot stoppers has also improved on his distribution and organization to make him the complete goalie.

The back line has seen the biggest shake up, which isn’t saying much. The center back pairing of Michael Mercado, and Jossimar Sanchez is back and Max Wasserman is now playing a very advanced right back position with new addition Sergio Campbell given a more disciplined left back role.

The midfield three will primarily be Colin Bradley, Adria Beso, and Carlos Alvarez.

Bradley will be playing as the midfield anchor, similarly to the role Sergio Busquets plays for Barcelona, and his defensive work rate will allow the more technical Beso and Alvarez to cut open defenses with passes.

Beso comes from Villarreal in Spain and adds much needed passing ability and ball retention to the midfield.

The front three has two familiar faces in Stephane Diop, and

the Huskies game.

Junior Mamadou Diouf’s goal off of a penalty kick in the 36th minute was the difference between victory and defeat as the No, 4 UConn men’s soccer team won their game against St. Francis (NY) 1-0 in the season opener.

Moments earlier, senior Stephane Diop was tackled in the penalty box by two of St. Francis defenders. The Huskies’ leading scorer from last season lined up and drilled a ball into the right side of the net past the Terrier’s goalkeeper.

“I just needed to have my composure and I knew I was going to put it in the net,” Diouf said.

Connecticut outshot St. Francis 16-3 for the game. Diouf had four of UConn’s seven shots on goal. Defenseman Max Wasserman and midfielder Adria Beso set up Diouf throughout the first half but could not connect for a goal.

“We need to do a better job finishing and on defense,” Diouf said. “But we got what we were looking for, a win. It was not easy, we needed to fight.”

The game was physical as both teams combined for 26 fouls and the Terrier’s Kevin Correa and Andy Cormack earned yellow cards in the opening 13 minutes of the first half.

The Huskies came close to scoring in the 19th minute when junior, transfer student George Fochive found Diouf cutting toward the net just inside the 18-yard box but the shot sailed just over the crossbar.

Shortly after, Beso found Diouf, who slipped behind the defense on a breakaway, but his shot was off target.

Connecticut had another chance in the 32nd minute when Diop found a surrounded Allando Matheson in front of the net but his rushed shot went wide of the left goalpost.

After a heart breaking, double overtime loss to North Carolina in the national semifinals, Nancy Stevens enters her 23rd season at the helm as UConn’s field hocky coach who are favorites to win the Big East again. The Huskies are also ranked 6th in the Penn Moto/ NFHCA preseason poll.

In 2011, the Huskies averaged 3.41 goals per game and limited opponents to 1.27, which carried them to the national semifinals before being denied a chance at a third national championship, the first since 1985.

If UConn wants to build upon

the 19-3 record from last season, it will be on the shoulders of junior goalkeeper Sarah Mansfield. The England-native played every minute last season on her way to earning NFHCA First-Team honors.

She posted a 0.752 save percentage and a record seven shutouts.

Mansfield will miss 2011 Big East Defensive Player of the Year Jestine Angelini, who graduated last spring, but her younger sister Alicia is poised to fill her shoes.

She was named to the 2011 AllBig East Second Team after starting all 22 games and scoring two goals on only four shots.

The trio of Marie Elena Bolles, Chloe Hunnable and Anne Jeute will lead the offense. In 2011, Bolles scored 12 goals including

four game-winning goals that led the team. She also added 12 assists and was named to the All-Big East First Team.

She will be accompanied by sophomore Chloe Hunnable, who burst onto the scene as a freshman scoring 14 goals out of 37 shots on goal. The majority of her production came from off the bench; Hunnable was named the 2011 Big East Rookie of the Year.

Junior Anne Jeute has been named to the Big East First Team in her first two seasons as she has scored 29 goals and nine assists in two years.

The 2012 schedule is loaded with 18 regular season games including eight teams that qualified
