Interim positions filled with permanent administrators for first time in years

Interim Provost Richard Wheeler
n the wake of recent admissions scandals and frequent personnel turnovers, many top leadership positions have been left vacant, filled by interim administrators. But now, many of these temporary positions have been occupied permanently. Vice President and Chancellor Phyllis Wise said she “is optimistic that the campus will continue to move ahead with focus, speed and agility.” Among these new leaders is Provost Ilesanmi “Ade” Adesida, who was chosen to take over former interim provost Richard Wheeler’s position last spring. Although Wise spoke highly of Wheeler, saying he was an excellent leader and decision-maker during challenging times for the University, she said being in an interim position can be “exceptionally challenging.” “People assume you won’t be around to see a project through to the finish, so sometimes they stall and hope to simply outlast you,” Wise said. Wise herself played a role as the interim president of the University of Washington before joining the University of Illinois. At the time of her appointment, she commended President Robert Easter, who was then the outgoing interim chancellor — her predeccessor. “What you have done, Bob, in the last couple of years, is just short of a miracle, because I know what it means to have the word ‘interim’ attached to your title,” she said at her first public appearance on campus. She said having people in permanent leadership positions allows the campus to start envisioning the long-term future. Adesida, who began his official role as provost Aug. 16, said he has been getting more familiar with the provost office and the campus as a whole over the past few weeks. In addition to a new provost, Wise has added Peter Schiffer, vice chancellor for research, and police Chief Jeff Christensen to her leadership team. She said the campus is still searching for a new vice chancellor for institutional development. Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said she was unsure of how long it had been since the campus had all permanent leadership positions but that it had been “quite some time.” “We are at a very exciting point in the University’s future,” Kaler said. “(Wise) and her leadership team are eager to make sure we take advantage of this opportunity.” As a way to introduce new staff and faculty members on campus, Wise sent out a mass email to students this week that contained a “welcome back” video, featuring the leadership team. Adesida said the video was a great way for students to get to know the administrators who are leading their campus. With the new team in place, Wise said the University will continue to move forward on the “Visioning Future Excellence” effort. This will help determine areas of study where the campus can “help shape a better future.” However, Wise said the most important plans for this academic year are to continue the “world-class learning, discovery and engagement that make Illinois a special place.” “This is a time of great opportunity for the Urbana campus,” Wise said. “The qualities that make Illinois among the best on the planet — collaboration, innovation, a willingness to address society’s most vexing problems — will allow us to define what it means to be a global University.”

Students who returned to apartments in Urbana this month may not be signed up to save money through their local municipal electric aggregation program. Electric aggregation is a process that allows municipalities to bundle residential and small commercial electrical supply accounts and buy in bulk in order to receive a lower rate. In Urbana, officials sent an opt-out letter to permanent residents in late May, before students and other new residents moved in. The letter allowed residents to opt out of the program within a twoweek period; those who didn’t were automatically signed up to receive the lower rates. “The problem is that this university community has a transient population,” said Mike Monson, Urbana chief of staff. “So a lot of people moved into their apartments this month in August.” “If people want to start seeing the savings right away, they need to sign up,” Monson said. In order to sign up, students need to provide their name, address and an Ameren account number to Homefield Energy, an Ameren Corporation subsidiary. Homefield Energy can be reached at custcare@homefieldenergy. com or at their toll-free number, 866-694-1262. Following the two-week deadline this summer, only 4 percent of those who received letters exercised the option to decline. The Urbana rate of 4.05 cents per kilowatt hour is currently a tenth of a cent lower than the rate in Champaign. Ameren’s current electric rate is 6.06 cents per kilowatt hour. Although the city receives a tenth of a cent built into
Provost Ilesanmi “Ade” Adesida As vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost on campus, Adesida oversees the campus’s academic programs, policies and priorities and maintains an environment that encourages academic excellence. In 2005, he became the dean of the College of Engineering. He was chosen to take over for former interim Provost Richard Wheeler and began his official role Aug. 16.
Interim Vice Chancellor for Research Robert Easter Vice Chancellor for Research Peter Schiffer As vice chancellor for research, Schiffer is the campus’s chief research officer and responsible for providing leadership in setting strategic directions for research. Schiffer came to the University from Penn State, where he was a physics professor and vice president for research and director of strategic initiatives.
Interim Police Chief Jeff Christensen Police Chief Jeff Christensen After attending the University as an undergraduate, Christensen was hired as a patrol officer in 1985. He was promoted to lieutenant a few years later and was then further promoted to the department’s deputy chief and assistant director. He briefly served as interim police chief in 2008 and is now continuing his career as the University’s police chief.

Isaac damages N. Orleans, but ‘it’s not Katrina’ BY MICHAEL KUNZELMAN AND STACEY PLAISANCE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Isaac began a slow, drenching slog inland from the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, pushing water over a rural Louisiana levee and stranding some people in homes and cars as the storm spun into a newly fortified New Orleans exactly seven years after Katrina. Although Isaac was much weaker than the 2005 hurricane that crippled the city, the threat of dangerous storm surges and flooding from heavy rain was expected to last all day and into the night as the immense comma-shaped storm crawled across Louisiana. Army Corps spokeswoman Rachel Rodi said the city’s bigger, stronger levees were withstanding the assault. “The system is performing as intended, as we expected,” she said. “We don’t see any issues with the hurricane system at this point.”

There were initial problems with pumps not working at the 17th Street Canal, the site of a breach on the day Katrina struck, but those pumps had been fi xed, Rodi said. Rescuers in boats and trucks plucked a handful of people who became stranded by floodwaters in thinly populated areas of southeast Louisiana. Authorities feared many more could need help after a night of slashing rain and fierce winds that knocked out power to more than 700,000 households and businesses. The extent of the damage was not entirely clear because offi cials did not want to send emergency crews into harm’s way. In Plaquemines Parish, a fishing community south of New Orleans, about two dozen people who stayed behind despite evacuation orders needed to be rescued. “I think a lot of people were caught with their pants down,” said Jerry Larpenter, sheriff in nearby Terrebonne Parish. “This

storm was never predicted right since it entered the Gulf. It was supposed to go to Florida, Panama City, Biloxi, New Orleans. We hope it loses its punch once it comes in all the way.” As Isaac’s eye passed overhead, authorities in armored vehicles saved a family whose roof was ripped off, Larpenter said. Two police officers had to be rescued by boat after their car became stuck. Rescuers were waiting for the strong winds to die down before moving out to search for other people. Water driven by the large and powerful storm flooded over an 18-mile stretch of one levee in Plaquemines Parish. The levee, one of many across the low-lying coastal zone, is not part of the new defenses constructed in New Orleans after Katrina. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said officials may intentionally break a levee on the east bank of Plaquemines Parish to relieve

ELECTRIC AGG FROM PAGE 1A the 4.05 cents, Monson said the aggregation mainly benefits the student residents. “It’s a 25 percent saving for students,” Monson said. “It’s definitely in their self-interest to sign up.” Alderman Charlie Smyth, Ward 1, said he is pleased about the amount of money residents will save with the new program. “I saved at least $10 for the very fi rst month aggregation kicked in,” Smyth said. After calculating the cost differences of electricity of this year and last year, he said he thinks more savings are still to come. In the future, Smyth said the city is looking to rework the process to make it easier for students to be a part of the city’s program.

ISAAC FROM PAGE 1A pressure on the structure. At a news conference in Baton Rouge, Jindal said there was no estimate on when that might occur. He said as many as 40 people are reportedly in need of rescue in the area. Plaquemines Parish has also ordered a mandatory evacuation for the west bank of the Mississippi River below Belle Chasse, worried about a storm surge. The order affects about 3,000 people in the area, including a nursing home with 112 residents. Officials said the evacuation was ordered out of concern that more storm surge from Isaac would be pushed into the area and levees might be overtopped. Isaac was packing 75 mph winds Wednesday, making it a Category 1 hurricane. It came ashore at 7:45 p.m. EDT Tuesday with 80 mph winds near the mouth of the Mississippi River, driving a wall of water nearly 11 feet high inland and soaking a neck of land that stretches into the Gulf. The storm stalled for several hours before resuming a slow trek inland, and forecasters said that was in keeping with the its erratic history. The slow motion over land means Isaac could be a major soaker, dumping up to 20 inches of rain in some areas. But every system is different. “It’s totally up to the storm,” said Ken Graham, chief meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Slidell, La. Isaac’s winds and sheets of rain whipped New Orleans, where forecasters said the city’s skyscrapers could be subject to gusts up to 100 mph. In the French Quarter near Bourbon Street, Jimmy Maiuri stepped outside his second-floor apartment to shoot video. Maiuri, who fled from Katrina at the last minute, stayed behind this time and had no regrets, though he was amazed at the storm’s timing. “It’s defi nitely not one to take lightly, but it’s not Katrina,” he said. “No one is going to forget Aug. 29 forever, not here at least.” As hard wind and heavy rain pelted Melba Leggett-Barnes’ home in the Lower 9th Ward, an area leveled during Katrina, she felt more secure than she did seven years ago. “I have a hurricane house this time,” said Barnes, who has been living in her newly rebuilt since 2008. She and her husband, Baxter Barnes, were among the fi rst to get a home through Brad Pitt’s Make It Right program. Her yellow house with a large porch and iron trellis was taking a beating but holding strong. In Mississippi, the main highway that runs along the Gulf, U.S. 90, was closed in sections by storm surge flooding. At one spot in Biloxi, a foot of water covered the highway for a couple of blocks, and it looked like more was coming in. High tide was likely to bring more water. In Pass Christian, a Mississippi coastal community wiped out by hurricanes Camille and Katrina, Mayor Chipper McDermott was optimistic Isaac would not deal a heavy blow. “It’s not too bad, but the whole coast is going to be a mess,” he said. McDermott stood on the porch of the $6 million municipal complex built after Katrina, with walls of 12-inch-thick concrete to withstand hurricane winds. As he looked out toward the Gulf of Mexico, pieces of a structure that had stood atop the city’s fishing pier washed across the parking lot. Tens of thousands of people had been told ahead of Isaac to leave low-lying areas of Mississippi and Louisiana, including 700 patients of Louisiana nursing homes. Mississippi shut down the state’s 12 shorefront casinos. The hurricane also canceled commemoration ceremonies Wednesday for Katrina’s 1,800 dead in Louisiana and Mississippi. The storm drew attention because of its timing, coinciding with the Katrina anniversary and the fi rst major speeches of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.

Obama camp concerned by smaller crowds Inability to draw same numbers as 2008 campaign may reflect waning enthusiasm BY JULIE PACE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The crowds may be smaller and the candidate grayer, but college towns are still proving to be President Barack Obama’s best shot at enthusiastic audiences. More than 26,000 people combined showed up to hear the president speak during his three-state college town tour this week, which ended Wednesday with a rally near the University of Virginia. The crowds at the outdoor rallies have tilted younger, underscoring the Obama campaign’s efforts to target college students as they return to school and re-energize a constituency that was critical in propelling Obama to the White House. “Change was possible because you made it possible,” Obama told 7,500 people at a pavilion near the University of Virginia. “So you can’t get tired now because we’ve got more work to do.” The school declined the campaign’s request for the president to speak on campus, saying it would disrupt classes on the second day of the semester By the standards of most presidential campaigns, Obama is speaking to impressively large audiences. But Obama is being held to the standards he set in 2008, when the youthful candidate with the rousing speeches attracted jaw-dropping crowds. With thousands of young people crammed into the sweltering, standing-room-only openair pavilion on Wednesday,
hundreds more stood outside its fenced perimeter, in some places shoulder-to-shoulder 40 to 50 feet deep. But even some of those who went through heavy security to see Obama speak said their enthusiasm had waned. “It no longer has the distinctiveness that it used to have,” said William Proffitt, a University of Virginia student. “That was amazing, seeing the fi rst African-American president elected, but that died off within a year.” In 2008, more than 100,000 people showed up to hear him speak in Denver. He spoke on the same trip at Colorado State University, where upwards of 50,000 people fi lled a quad in the center of campus. When Obama returned to Colorado State on Tuesday, the crowd totaled 13,000. Obama’s campaign dismisses the notion that the smaller crowds equal less enthusiasm for the president this time around. Aides suggest the numbers are purposely being kept low, citing the cost of holding larger events and the president’s desire to travel to smaller cities in battleground states. Security restrictions are also tighter around a current president than a candidate Obama drew his largest crowd in May, during his fi rst re-election rally at Ohio State University. More than 14,000 people showed up to hear the president and fi rst lady Michelle Obama speak, short of the 18,000 people the campaign predicted would
fi ll the campus basketball arena to capacity. Away from the college town circuit, the president has been generated even smaller audiences, often 3,000 people or less. Campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said the president would still have “plenty of time for big rallies between now and Election Day.” The campaign is banking on big numbers next week when Obama accepts the Democratic nomination at an outdoor football stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The stadium holds up to 74,000 people. Campaign aides won’t say whether the full stadium will be open for seating during next Thursday’s prime-time speech. Tens of thousands of tickets, called “community credentials”, have been distributed, according to the campaign. T he president’s a ides say crowd size is one issue they’re happy to debate with Republicans. Even though Obama’s audience numbers are down compared to his 2008 campaign, he is still drawing larger crowds than GOP rival Mitt Romney. Most of Romney’s events are carefully choreographed in made-for television settings that provide seating for hundreds of people, not thousands. An energy speech in Hobbs, N.M., last week, for example, drew only about 500 people. Romney’s campaign has been targeting larger venues since picking Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. The duo drew an estimated 7,000 supporters to an outdoor rally in Michigan last week, one of the largest events for the GOP ticket this year.

Gas prices experience biggest jump in 18 months BY JONATHAN FAHEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Drivers are being hit with the biggest oneday jump in gasoline prices in 18 months just as the last heavy driving weekend of the summer approaches. As Hurricane Isaac swamps the nation’s oil and gas hub along the Gulf Coast, it’s delivering sharply higher pump prices to storm-battered residents of Louisiana and Mississippi — and also to unsuspecting drivers up north in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The national average price of a gallon of gas jumped almost five cents Wednesday to $3.80, the highest ever for this date. Prices are expected to continue to climb through Labor Day weekend, the end of the summer driving season. “The national average will keep ticking higher, and it’s going to be noticeable,” says Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at Gasbuddy.com. The wide storm shut down several refi neries along the Gulf Coast and others are operating at reduced rates. In all, about 1.3 million barrels per day of refi ning capacity is affected. So, it’s no surprise that drivers in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida saw gas pric-
es rise by a dime or more in the past week. But some states in the Midwest are suffering even more dramatic spikes. Ohio prices jumped 14 cents, Indiana prices soared 13 cents and Illinois prices jumped 10 cents on Wednesday alone according to the Oil Price Information Service. Days before Isaac is expected to douse those states with rain, the storm forced the shutdown of a pipeline that serves a number of Midwest refi neries. Drivers in the region were angry and confused. “’’I saw gas in my neighborhood for $3.56 a gallon just Tuesday morning, and now I’m paying $3.95. It’s terrible,” said Mary Allen of Cincinnati as she paid $20 for just over five gallons of gas. She wondered how Isaac could drive up gas prices in Ohio — and then resigned herself to a holiday weekend without travel. The price surge is happening at the wrong time and the wrong place for Dickson Stewart, a 56-year-old electronics consultant, who is driving from Minneapolis to Savannah, Ga. this week. He stopped at a BP station in downtown Chicago Tuesday — home to some of the highest retail prices in the country — and paid $4.49 a gallon to fi ll up his Jeep Wrangler.
Stewart expects gas prices to fall after Labor Day. Analysts say he’s probably right. As Isaac fades away, the summer driving season ends, and refi ners switch to cheaper winter blends of gasoline, stations owners should start dropping prices. “There is some very good relief in sight,” DeHaan says. When Katrina hit in 2005, the national average for gas spiked 40 cents in six days and topped $3 per gallon for the fi rst time. Isaac likely won’t have the same result, though its full impact on the refi neries is yet to be determined. The refi neries are not expected to suffer long term damage. But refi ners decided to shut down or run at reduced rates to protect their operations. These facilities consume enormous amounts of electric power and generate steam to cook crude oil into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and heating oil. If a refi nery loses power suddenly, operators can’t properly clear the partially cooked oil out of pipes, and restarting the refi nery can take several days or even weeks. In advance of Isaac, refi neries instead conducted what is known as an orderly shutdown, so they can re-start as soon as the power supply is assured again. The Gulf refi neries will likely stay
off line for about three days. Isaac cut into the amount of gasoline being produced, and raised fears that supplies could fall dangerously low if the storm proved worse than expected. When supplies drop or are threatened, wholesale prices rise. Then distributors and station owners have to pay more to fi ll up their station’s tanks. They then raise their prices based on how much they paid for their current inventory, how much they think they will have to pay for their next shipment, and, how much their competitors are charging. Prices spiked particularly high in the Midwest because Isaac forced Shell to close a pipeline that delivers crude from St. James, La. to refi neries in the region. Gasoline prices are particularly vulnerable to spikes around this time of year. Refi ners keep a low supply of more expensive blends as driving season ends, knowing they’ll soon be able to make cheaper winter blends of gasoline. “We are really working with a just-in-time delivery system,” said Tom Kloza , chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. Pump prices were on the rise even before Isaac blew in.
The average price for gas rose about 40 cents from July 1 to mid-August because of higher oil prices and refi nery problems in the Midwest and West Coast. At $3.80 per gallon, the national average is the highest since May 1 and well above the previous record for Aug. 29, $3.67 in 2008. Wednesday’s jump of a nickel was the 10th biggest oneday jump on record, according to OPIS, and the biggest since the average price rose 6 cents on February 15, 2011 when turmoil in Libya was rising. But prices could quickly come down if refi neries can soon get up and running. Crude oil prices fell Wednesday and wholesale gasoline prices fell the past two days, suggesting the spike in retail gasoline prices could be short-lived. Americans will soon do less driving and the switch to cheaper blends will be well underway by mid-September. That’s still too late for Sharon Simon of Gadsden, Ala. She’s driving 900 miles north to her daughter’s wedding in Olean, N.Y. this weekend, and will now have to spend an extra $30 to $50 on gasoline for the trip. “Just as we are getting ready to head out the prices go up,” she said. “I’m fed up with the surge in price every time there is a holiday.”
Marines patrol Guatemalan coast to stop drug trafficking Unprecedented mission the 1st time Marines counter crime globally BY MARTHA MENDOZA AND ROMINA RUIZ-GOIRIENA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GUATEMALA CITY — A team of 200 U.S. Marines began patrolling Guatemala’s western coast this week in an unprecedented operation to beat drug traffickers in Central America, a U.S. military spokesman said Wednesday. The Marines are deployed as part of Operation Martillo, a broader effort started last Jan. 15 to stop drug trafficking along the Central American coast. Focused exclusively on drug dealers in airplanes or boats, the U.S.-led operation involves troops or law enforcement agents from Belize, Britain, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, France, Guatemala, Honduras, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Panama and Spain. “This is the first Marine deployment that directly supports countering transnational crime in this area, and it’s certainly the largest footprint we’ve had in that area in quite some time,” said Marine Staff Sgt. Earnest Barnes at the U.S. Southern Command in Miami. It was 50 years ago when the U.S. military last sent any significant aid and equipment into Guatemala, establishing a base to support counter-insurgency efforts during a guerrilla uprising. That movement led to 36 years of war that left 200,000 dead, mostly indigent Maya farmers. The U.S. pulled out in 1978. Guatemalan authorities say
they signed a treaty allowing the U.S. military to conduct the operations on July 16. Less than a month later, an Air Force C-5 transport plane flew into Guatemala City from North Carolina loaded with the Marines and four UH-1 “Huey” helicopters. After two weeks of setting up camp, establishing computer connections and training at the Guatemalan air base at Retalhuleu, the Marines ran through rehearsal exercises, Barnes said. Last week, their commander “gave us the thumbs up” to begin active operations, he said. This week the Marines have been patrolling waterways and the coastline, looking for fast power boats and self-propelled “narco-submarines” used to smuggle drugs along Central America’s Pacific Coast. U.S. officials say the “drug subs” can carry up to 11 tons of illegal cargo up to 5,000 miles. Col. Erick Escobedo, spokesman for Guatemalan Military Forces and Defense Ministry, said that so far the Marines have brought about the seizure of one small-engine aircraft and a car, but made no arrests. He said he expected the Marines to in Guatemala for about two months. If the Marines find suspected boats, Barnes said, they will contact their Guatemalan counterparts in a special operations unit from the Guatemalan navy that will move in for the bust. Barnes said the Marines will not go along on arrest missions, but they do have the right to defend themselves if fired on. Eighty percent of cocaine smoked, snorted and swallowed in the U.S. passes through Cen-
tral America, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. Eight out of every 10 tons of that cocaine are loaded on vessels known as “go fasts,” which are open hulled boats 20 to 50 feet long with as many as four engines, according to the Defense Department. In a recent congressional briefing in Washington, Rear Adm. Charles Michel said the boats, carrying anywhere from 300 kilograms to 3.5 metric tons of cocaine, typically leave Colombia and follow the western Caribbean coastline of Central America to make landfall, principally in Honduras. In the Pacific, the same type of vessels will leave Colombia or Ecuador and travel to Guatemala, Panama, Costa Rica or Mexico, Michel said. “We fight a highly mobile, disciplined and well-funded adversary that threatens democratic governments, terrorizes populations, impedes economic development and creates regional instability,” he said, noting that authorities are able to stop only one out of every four suspected traffickers they spot. Drug Enforcement Administration special agent Jeffrey Todd Scott said that although the agency has supported Operation Martillo, it has no agents working in Guatemala beyond its normal incountry presence. This month’s Guatemala operation by the Marines comes soon after raids under an aggressive enforcement strategy that has sharply increased the interception of illegal drug flights in Honduras resulted in the death of one person in June and four in May. U.S. officials said a DEA agent

Marines unload a UH-1N Huey helicopter in Guatemala City on Aug. 11. A team of 200 U.S. Marines and four helicopters has begun patrolling Guatemala’s western coast this week to beat drug traffickers. fatally shot a suspected drug trafficker in late June as he reached for his gun in a holster during a raid in a remote northern part of Honduras. That operation resulted in the seizure of 792 pounds (360 kilograms) of cocaine, the officials said. A raid on May 11 killed four people, whom locals claimed were innocent civilians traveling a river in Honduras at night. Honduran police said the victims were in a boat that fired on authorities. The DEA said none of its agents fired his gun in that incident. Both Honduras and Guatemala are struggling with widespread corruption that weakens their rule of law, according to recent State Department reports. “We’re concerned about the impact on Guatemalan civilians, many indigent, who are stuck in the middle of this confl ict
between drug traffickers and a Guatemalan military known to associate with criminals,” said Kelsey Alford-Jones, director of the Guatemala Human Rights Commission/USA in Washington. Guatemala has widespread institutional corruption, “including unlawful killings, drug trafficking, and extortion; and widespread societal violence, including violence against women and numerous killings, many related to drug trafficking,” according to a recent State Department report. The Marine operation is the largest in Guatemala since U.S. military aid was first eliminated in 1978, halfway through the civil war. Over the years, the U.S. Congress has approved limited funding for training Guatemala’s military response team for natural disasters.

The New York Times’ graphic photograph from the Empire State Building shooting captures what words could not
P
hotos are just as important as the words in a story. Photographs can often convey what writing can’t. When an angry apparel designer shot and killed a former co-worker outside the Empire State Building on Aug. 24, The New York Times used a controversial photo to tell the story. A bloody image showing the victim lying dead outside was posted on the home page of the newspaper’s website and drew both support and criticism from readers. Some thought it crossed the line of what newspapers should be allowed to do, while others agreed with the decision to publish the photo. The media should understand and respect the privacy of the victim, but this photo doesn’t cross that line. Though it was later revealed that the victim was indeed the sole person killed by the shooter, it was far enough away that viewers could not distinguish his face. The photo wasn’t taken illegally, and it wasn’t taken just to show people that someone was killed. Certainly, these types of photos are offensive to some people, but the importance of what the image represents overshadows any voiced opposition. While this photo can only represent the specific shooting near the Empire State Building, it represents the violence that has been rising alarmingly in this country. It’s no secret that shoot-
ings have been making the headlines more frequently lately, and until now, there hasn’t been a more explicit photo that shows the results of the recent gun violence. Most of us were horrified to hear about the mass shootings in Colorado or at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, but the photos that came out of them predominantly focused on crying family members and not of the actual events. It’s difficult to fully grasp the severity of these events unless you can really see what happened. Similar photos that were taken at the Columbine and Kent State shootings have become iconic images that will likely be remembered more than the articles that were written about the events. While the stories can provide the facts of what happened, these photos documented the scenes then and there. Objective reporting can at times be limited in its ability to convey the sentimentality of an event, but a photo undoubtedly contributes the lacking emotion. It’s that extra component that stirs an informed public to hold their public officials responsible for the horror we encounter. Without a visual stimulus, what we read may not be what we believe. Not everyone will agree with the decisions made to release these photos and future photos of similar nature, but the raw truth they present remains unmatched.
In light of recent mass shootings and relaxed gun laws, Second Amendment should be re-evaluated to determine its proper role in modern America
W
hen our country’s forefathers envisioned the tenets of happy, functioning American society, they had the people’s liberty and freedom in mind. But by no means did our founding fathers intend to implement our Bill of Rights at the risk of our public’s safety. But considering the disastrous consequences when the wrong people take advantage of that freedom, the right to bear arms must be examined with greater scrutiny. The recent uptick in shootings and violent crimes involving the abuse of firearms is cause for much alarm. In the torrent of media coverage over the Colorado movie theatre shooting, the Sikh temple shooting in Oak Creek , Wis., and the Empire State Building shooting, there’s a noticeable common thread: These lives have been lost because of senseless hate, an uncontrollable urge to take it out on the world and irrational anger — and it’s ample reason to bring the issue of gun control back to the forefront of the nation’s attention. In the time of our nation’s founders, the purpose of the Second Amendment was well understood: protecting the right to keep a gun was crucial to maintaining the security of the nation’s militia. It
was only in 2008, in District of Columbia v. Heller, in which the right to owning a firearm was extended to the individual level, intended to protect the home. But more than 200 years after the ratification of the Second Amendment, can we say our sense of security hinges on owning an automatic rifle? Moreover, is it entirely reasonable that a person could stroll into a Wal-Mart to purchase a Silent Stalker Whisper Air Rifle? Or that the amount of ammunition you could buy at one time is nearly unlimited? Behind this nation’s relative relaxed position on gun control is the National Rifle Association’s heavy lobbying for the right to bear arms. In the 2010 campaign cycle alone, the NRA spent more than $7.2 million on independent expenditures at the federal level and between $1.5 to $2.7 million from 2001 to 2010, according to The Center for Responsive Politics . Restricting access to firearms does not eliminate the possibility of irresponsible gun use, but it would certainly be an obstacle to those who are purchasing semi-autos for a senseless shooting spree. It is imperative to understand how easier gun access is enabling, even if it is not what makes killers.
Akin lacks sense to be a senator JOANNA ROTHENBERG Opinions columnist
R
Armstrong’s fame is no reason to look other way ADAM HUSKA Opinions columnist
T
he U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has recently resurrected its pending speculation that seven-time Tour de France victor Lance Armstrong has been using performance-enhancing drugs, an illegal yet not uncommon practice to the world’s major athletes. Barry Bonds, who holds the Major League Baseball home run record with 762, was indicted of perjury and obstruction of justice regarding his use of anabolic steroids, and East German Olympic swimmers Kornelia Ender, Barbara Krause and Carola Nitschke admitted to also using anabolic steroids and injections of testosterone. The USADA has ceased its efforts to collaborate with Armstrong despite a history of clean drug tests, which he cites as his rationale for refusing to take more. Fans appear to be living vicariously through the abrasiveness of the USADA’s decision to strip Armstrong of his titles and implement a lifetime ban. However unappealing and distasteful as this punishment may manifest into the public’s mind, law enthusiasts may show their disdain with a whining “rules are rules!” Refusing to acknowledge Armstrong’s brave win over testicular cancer and subsequent cycling achievements would be disingenuous, but neglecting impartiality would be just as naive. Frankly, I praise the efforts of what the public is artlessly distancing itself from — equality. Perhaps the word has become liberal in its seemingly perpetual use, but it is rarely used apathetically. Regardless of context, equality comes with a level playing field; a homogeneous opportunity for each person involved where the pecking order remains confined solely to animals. The idea of a level playing field is not only applicable in the competitor-to-competitor sense but also in the methods that this equality is enforced. Armstrong allegedly used an unfair advantage, and the USADA acknowledges this accordingly, treating his actions proportionately to that of any other cyclist. There is an uneasy trend in history where money and fame are simply red herrings that cause gullible remoteness between the general perceptions of achievements and the process in which those achievements are accomplished. Yet any chemist would agree
that we are simply diluting the illegality associated with anyone famous or wealthy enough. There must be justness and honor shown by those executing the words of the law, privileged or underprivileged. Otherwise we form a dangerous social hierarchy, exemplifying tolerance in immunities for the glorified and admired. So then if the doping allegations are confirmed, would we call Armstrong a cheat or continue to praise him for his successes nonetheless? And then we come to everybody’s most feared situation: the hypothetical one. What if Lance Armstrong admitted that he had used performance-enhancing drugs? I can loosely relate the answer to London-based Willis Group Holdings obtaining the name rights to Chicago’s Sears Tower. Although the name has legally changed, Chicagoans and visitors still commonly refer to the building as the Sears Tower. I have only scarce doubt that the case with Armstrong would be any different; you can strip him of his titles, but everybody saw who won those races. It comes down to setting aside dignity and reciprocating the faith millions of fans have devoted. It’s a blind fall backward, but everybody yearns for the powerful to become vulnerable ... that whole level playing field thing I was talking about. Indeed Armstrong has expressed his desire for peace and departure from the USADA’s doping charges, rather hoping to focus on his life with his family and cancer charity foundation. Still, many (perhaps including myself) have not received appropriate closure. At second glance, appropriate seems misleading; I would like to reiterate with the word “honorable.” Something just seems ... unsportsmanlike about not recognizing the hundreds upon hundreds of Armstrong’s competitors whom he may have consciously deceived. Not to mention the fans across the world that supported Armstrong, expecting almost for granted that an athlete of such merit would play fair. In fact, I have strong faith in the morale of Armstrong supporters almost to say that an honorable admission or at least clarification of doping claims would not break him or his prestige in their perspectives. We do not always have to look down upon those who have faulted; we must stick around to evaluate their ride back up.

ep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., has been making headlines across the country during the last few weeks for a very important reason. For those of you who have not had the luxury to leave the college bubble, even over summer vacation, let me give you a quick run down of his great failure. Akin is serving in the United States House of Representatives for the second district of Missouri and is currently in the race to become the state’s junior senator. When addressed recently on the topics of pregnancy and rape, he responded with “if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut (pregnancy) down.” Mr. Akin, you do realize this is an election year, right? Even if he some how missed that memo, did he forget that enough constituents voted for a Democratic senator six years ago? More bad news for Akin, there is video evidence of him speaking the quote. Anyone with access to the online world can fi nd him talking about “legitimate rape,” from different news outlets to links on Facebook, Twitter and all over YouTube. Access to his bewildering statement is everywhere. As my father told me growing up, once something is out on the Internet, it will be there forever. Unfortunately for Akin, he must not have gotten the chance to speak with my father before he spoke on television. This election was already going to be difficult for him and the Republicans. He does not have the benefit of an open election — there is a Democratic incumbent standing in his way. While Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), has only served one term so far, the election is usually tipped in the incumbents favor. Adding to that fact, she holds the backing of her own party. Now poor Akin does not even have the backing of the Grand Old Party, an election they were recently quite excited about. This is sure shaping up to be a fun election for him in November. Plenty of people are calling for his withdrawal from the race, but he wants to bunker down and continue on. After all, the Missouri representative did claim that his words were being used the wrong way. However, I fi nd it difficult to interpret his statement any other way because I took basic biology and anatomy in high school. Silly me. While the GOP might have pulled money from his senate race, it does not change the fact that he is representing the Republican Party and said pregnancy can not happen in a legitimate rape. I fi nd it quite ironic that there are many far rightwinged conservative Republicans who are so gung-ho about stopping the advancement of women’s rights in the 21st century. Last time I checked, I thought a goal of the Republican Party was to reduce the size of a intrusive government instead of impeding on personal issues. I would like to think my own body is my personal issue, then again, I’m not an elected official in Congress. There are even some states in this country like Mississippi that have tried to pass vaguely worded abortion laws. The problem with that was many interpreted it to include banning the use of contraception, like the birth control pill. Many females rely on it all over the country, not just as a protection from pregnancy, to help prevent certain cancers, lessen certain menstrual-related pains and, hey, it even treats acne. Try banning that here and watch just how quickly the student population cares about a law. It would be SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) all over again. While it is highly unlikely the state of Illinois would ever attempt to pass an abortion ban that would extend to eliminating the use of birth control, it is still quite important for students to know what has been attempted recently throughout the country. For many of us, this may be our fi rst election ever. Students need to be aware of people like Rep. Akin, so we do not vote people like him into office and, instead, vote for someone who has at least taken their basic freshman biology course.

Long lines plague the Illini Union Bookstore on Wednesday as students wait to buy their textbooks.
Top 8 ways to waste time while in the bookstore line MAGGIE O’CONNOR Features columnist BY MAGGIE O’CONNOR STAFF WRITER
T
he last time you’ve waited this long in line was for a roller coaster at Six Flags Great America. Seriously, can this really be the line for textbooks? While I applaud the bookstores for their efforts to make the process efficient, there really is no way to avoid a rush when 40,000-plus students need to go to the same few places. No one will come sell you cotton candy, but there are some things you can do to make sure you’re using your time in line wisely:
1. Call your mother. Admit it, you’ve been avoiding the talk with your mother that inevitably leads to, “So what have you been up to?” This way, you can answer in your most innocent, studious voice, “Just buying books so that I can get ahead on my studies!” She doesn’t have to know about your plans to hit up Kam’s later.
2. Make friends. You already have something in common with the people around you: None of you wants to be standing in a
line that looks more like the crowds for a Black Friday bigscreen TV sales than for some overpriced textbooks. Even if you don’t feel comfortable striking up a conversation, at least throw someone an “I understand what you’re going through right now” smile.
3. Take a sneak peek at your readings. If you’re more of an introvert, there’s no better time than the present to hit the books. Who knows — maybe you can fi nish next class’s reading assignment by the time you reach the checkout. Or maybe you’ll realize that you’re going to hate every minute of this course and it’s time to just drop it. Word to the wise: Make sure you’re still paying attention to the line — nothing is worse than a driver in heavy traffic who forgets to step on the gas at a green light. Don’t be that person.

5. Trim up your phone contacts and text messages.

For those of you smartphone users out there who don’t have to deal with the shackles of limited data and memory space, this may not apply. But that friend you worked on a group project with two years ago probably won’t call, and your contacts folder won’t miss him or her either.
6. Keep your eyes on the prize. You think all of those pretty notebooks and glossy folders are coincidentally placed where you’re standing in line? Yeah right. They’re trying to make you buy more stuff for their high prices. Focus. You are far too savvy to fall for these tactics, and you’ll be thankful for those extra few dollars later when you have a Cocomero craving.
4. Organize your wallet.
7. Browse for online bargains.
That receipt from last night’s Geo’s chicken strips? You may wish you could return that greasy indulgence, but there’s no going back on that one. And while you’re in there, make sure you have your credit card or sufficient cash — because if you reach the front of that line and realize you don’t have it, you just won yourself a trip to the back of
If you’re lucky enough to have a smartphone, surf the Web for books with lower prices. Maybe the 30-minute wait will be worth it after all.

Australian amputee, curator turns prosthetic limbs into art BY RAISSA IOUSSOUF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Prosthetics can change the life of an amputee. But when an old limb no longer fits or just gets worn out, it can be hard to part ways with an item that offered the liberating chance to jump, dance or simply walk. Priscilla Sutton has a solution: turn these “pre-loved” limbs into artwork. The Australian curator came up with “Spare Parts London,” an exhibition of altered prosthetics that has opened in time for the Paralympics, which start Wednesday. “I was cleaning my home and I found two old legs in my cupboard,” said Sutton, a below-theknee amputee. “I thought it was
a bit crazy to keep hoarding my legs.” The exhibition, which includes works by artists from Britain, Australia, the United States and Japan, comes as people are paying new attention to the devices. Public awareness of prosthetics has been heightened by the popularity of double amputee Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, the South African known as the “Blade Runner.” The exhibition will showcase the “Cheetah” — the carbon fiber running leg Pistorius uses that has a flex foot designed to replicate the hind leg of the fastest animal on land. The show also displays arms and legs hanging from the ceiling and others in glass cabi-

A creation by British artist Rachel Ball features a little girl’s leg covered in colorful crochet and painted with henna on the foot. “It reflects the original owner’s personality,” Sutton said. Since coming up with the idea, 33-year-old Sutton has collected prosthetics donated by amputees, their families or health services around the world. “I got a box of arms from the NHS (Britain’s National Health Service),” she said. Owners change their prosthetics for a variety of reasons, including wear and weight fluctuations. For kids, the stump changes as they grow. For adults, muscles sometimes waste away.

Rising RSO fosters fashion community BY TAYLOR ELLIS
W
STAFF WRITER
hether we realize it or not, fashion surrounds us each day. From wearing a swimsuit to the ARC pool this week to pulling on a pair of rid-
ing boots before class this October, fashion is a part of our daily routine. Yet, despite fashion’s presence, there seems to be a lack of fashion education opportunities in both the classroom and generally on the University campus. “For me, coming in as a freshman, I was interested in fashion but I didn’t find an outlet for me to be able to learn about it,” said Jessica Whitman, junior in Media. “I had to use my own resources and figure it out on my own.” Thankfully, Whitman has found a solution to this problem by creating the new RSO, The Fashion School. The Fashion School plans to hold bi-monthly meetings, which will each focus on a different aspect of the fashion industry. Members will be able to broaden their fashion horizons through activities such as DIY project nights, movie screenings of fashion documentaries, and visits from guest speakers involved in the fashion industry. “Through people I’ve met through the U of I fashion community, I have different people that I could use as outlets,” Whitman said. “For example, I’m involved in IMPULSE Magazine, so if one day we’re talking about fashion publication, I could bring in the editor-in-chief of the magazine and have him speak.” Whitman, who was a fashion intern at Vanity Fair last summer, explained that despite her experience, there’s absolutely no need for a previous knowledge of fashion in order to join The Fashion School. In fact, Mary Alex Japczyk, junior in LAS and treasurer of The Fashion School, explained that she herself hasn’t received a formal fashion education. “I’m excited to be part of the group just to learn more about it,” Japczyk said. “I’m not someone who really knows designer names or can see a person and
know what (label) they are wearing right then.” By encouraging anyone on campus with a fashion interest to join, The Fashion School is hoping to create a wellrounded atmosphere. “I’m really hoping it can become a club that people of all different interests will join — people who don’t necessarily know about fashion all the way to people who are complete fashion enthusiasts,” said Reigan Massey, junior in LAS. In addition to providing a place where anyone can learn about the fashion industry, Whitman is also looking to create a sense of community among The Fashion School’s members. After Whitman became involved in many fashion-oriented opportunities on campus, she was able to gain a sense of community with the people who share the same interest in fashion as she does. “I want people to form that through this too,” Whitman said. “I want people to get to know each other and make the campus smaller while learning things about the fashion industry and each other.” Whitman is confident that The Fashion School will succeed because of the fashion network at the University. By spreading the word, Whitman and her team are ready to educate anyone that will lend them their ears. The Fashion School is the place for anyone who has the slightest notion that fashion is for them, from those who assume Balenciaga is just the name of a foreign city, to those who have a shrine devoted to the late Alexander McQueen in their closet.

Local music festival features jazz, classical BY TANYA TRIVEDI STAFF WRITER
The silent beginning of something more than just a new academic year is actually an anticipative rush of emotions before the Allerton Music Barn Festival begins, numerous performers and faculty in charge of the festival would agree. The festival has marked an unfathomable beginning of the school year for the last six years now. “It was conceived by our former director, Karl Kramer, who had a grand vision of a new music festival on the prairie that would attract people from Chicago and all over the region,” said Jeffrey Magee, director of the festival. This year, the festival will be Aug. 30 to Sept. 3. Each performance day consists of diverse themes that maintain a close relationship with the space
in which the festival is hosted and the historical preservation of the music. The opening night of the festival will introduce young and dynamic artists who have joined the faculty this year and will perform as the Jupiter Stri ng Quartet. The second day incorporates the semistaged production of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta “Pirates of Penzance,” which has attracted a majority of audiences with its comic and musical charm. Magee said he plans to take his family to the performance. The third day’s performance is choreographed to pay tribute to the late jazz musician Oliver Nelson’s “The Blues and the Abstract Truth” for its 50-year anniversary. Oliver Nelson’s son, Oliver Nelson Jr., is a student at the University and will participate in the concert, which
creates a link between the University and a moment in jazz history. The festival will attract a diverse audience because of the different combinations of music that will be performed, said Ruth Stoltzfus, who has worked as a faculty member for the festival for 5 ½ years. “For example, there are people you see that are just nuts about jazz, which is great,” she said. The jazz concert ,on day four, is followed by music written by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach wrote a series of pieces called cantatas, which are works for chorus, orchestra and vocal soloists. They will be elaborated through text and music based on a sermon. The performance is Sunday at 10 a.m. and will be accompanied by a minister who will recite a sermon in the middle of the piece.
“A lot of people will come who may not want to go to church on a Sunday morning but want a religious experience and a beautiful musical experience,” Magee said. The last performance, a full band featuring the music of John Philip Sousa, will provide the climactic ending, according to Magee. This performance has a deep connection with the University’s marching band because Sousa is known as the March King. The concert is an old-fashioned tribute to Labor Day. The celebration is followed by an ice-cream social, and audiences are welcome to pack a picnic and enjoy the nature. Nature is an adamant part of the Allerton Music Barn Festival, said Sadie Glass, a graduate student in FAA. Glass
will play the horn during the Labor Day concert. “It reminds me of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ — the setting is so beautiful and unique,” Glass said. The performances will be hosted in a barn at the Allerton property in Monticello, and the music will collaborate with nature, giving a distinct air to the event. The setting of the festival is outstanding because of Allerton’s beautiful location, which is isolated from the city lights, giving the audience a chance to look at the stars and enjoy the glorious music, Stoltzfus said. Glass said that a very exciting part of the concert is that some of the faculty and students will be working and performing in the festival together, and it is a great way to start the school year and stimulate the community’s attention.

Sports Mind — His touchdown-to-interception ratio last year (31-to-14) suggests Carder is a strong decision-maker most of the time. But when things get bad, he can lose control. Last season, he threw three picks against Ball State and four against Purdue in the Little Caesars Bowl.
Explosiveness — Illinois head coach Tim Beckman knows firsthand that Alex Carder can go off against good defenses. The quarterback posted an astounding seventouchdown, 548yard stat line against Beckman’s Toledo squad last season.
Arm — Although accuracy usually isn’t an issue for Carder, pure arm strength is. Don’t expect many chucks down field.
Legs — Carder has mediocre foot speed but will choose to run occasionally to keep the defense honest.
EYE ON THE ENEMY
Beckman to reface Broncos after last year’s shootout W. Michigan QB had 63-point, 7-TD outburst against Toledo BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER
The last time Illinois football head coach Tim Beckman played Western Michigan, Broncos quarterback Alex Carder lit up Beckman’s Toledo Rockets for 548 yards and seven touchdowns. Western Michigan scored 63 points, but it still wasn’t enough to top the Rockets. Toledo won 66-63. Beckman will see Carder again Saturday, but this time he has a Big Ten defense on his side. Western Michigan will meet the Illini at Memorial Stadium for the second year in a row. Carder is back for his final season after throwing for 3,873 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2011 as a fourth-year junior.
It will be up to Illinois’ defense to contain the quarterback who picked apart Beckman’s Toledo defense last year. “When I saw (63 points) I was like, ‘Coach what happened?’” Illinois defensive tackle Akeem Spence said. “He didn’t have much to say about it.” The Illinois defense finished the 2011 season ranked seventh in the nation in yards per game surrendered. So it is unlikely that Saturday will turn into the shootout that the Toledo versus Western Michigan game became last season. “Well, we hope that doesn’t happen being a defensive guy,” Beckman said. “You know we’ve got to be able to score more points. That’s the name of the game any-
way. So hopefully (a shootout) is not the case.” Carder will keep Illinois’ defense busy. When the teams met in 2011, Carder put up over 300 yards and two touchdowns in a game that remained tied into the third quarter. Getting a good pass rush from Spence and fellow defensive lineman Michael Buchanan will be key to Illinois’ success. “If we can flush (him) out of the pocket and make (him) run around, panic, that’s big,” Spence said. “If our corners can give us time to get there, that’s huge. I feel like we don’t need much time.” Carder lost his top three receivers from last season, but there is no question that he has the arm to carve up the secondary. It will be up to the likes of Terry Hawthorne and Justin Green to give Buchanan and Spence the time they need to disrupt Carder in the pocket.

Illinois’ Akeem Spence tackles Michigan’s Fitzgerald Toussaint at Memorial Stadium on Nov. 12. The Illini hope Spence and defensive end Michael Buchanan can disrupt Western Michigan’s Alex Carder with the pass rush. “The No. 1 thing that I noticed about him is that he’s really smart,” Green said of Carder. “He can ID what defense we’re in and he sees what kind of lever-
age we’re playing in. He makes all kinds of different calls at the line. It’s hard to play a smarter quarterback because you never know what they’re capable of. What he
lacks in speed, he makes up with his smarts.” Green says the game plan

NFL preseason Week 3: Fantasy winners and losers KEVIN THORNTON Sports columnist
T
he third week of the NFL preseason is in the books, which has cleared uncertainties for some teams, while unanswered questions still remain for many. Barring any unforeseen injuries or spectacular performances, don’t expect starting lineups to change much before the season opener on Sept. 5. Here are this week’s biggest fantasy winners and losers:

JACK DEMPSEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning reacts after throwing a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday in Denver. If Manning is able to stay healthy, he could be a steal for fantasy football owners.
Peyton Manning, quarterback, Broncos Despite underwhelming performances in his first two games as a Bronco, Manning looked much like his former self in last Sunday’s game against the 49ers. Manning completed 10 of 12 passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns — both to Eric Decker. The
quarterback’s surgically-repaired neck was put to the test on a few big hits, but he was able to get up easily each time. Manning will be a steal for fantasy owners this season if he’s able to stay on the field. He’s currently being drafted in the late third round in most leagues. Antonio Brown, wide receiver, Steelers Mike Wallace might be back in town, but Brown has had an entire offseason to work with Ben Roethlisberger and is primed for a breakout year. Despite only having two touchdowns in 2011, Brown amassed over 1,100 yards receiving and 69 catches in 124 targets — 11 more than Wallace. And those numbers should only increase this season. With the Steelers running game in turmoil and the reappearance of Wallace, Pittsburgh will have plenty of opportunities to air the ball out this year. Brown’s current average draft position ranks him as the 24th receiver off the board, making him a potential steal in the mid-rounds of the

Illinois soccer implements equality, respect during team rituals BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER
This year on the Illinois soccer team, freshmen won’t be doing dirty work. Because of a new system implemented by the upperclassmen, all players are treated as equals. It is no longer only the job of the freshmen to pick up after practices or games. It’s a team job. “The new senior group has this idea of a class list society and what that entails, no responsibilities are on the freshmen that an upperclassmen wouldn’t do,” senior Niki Read said. “We are a collective team and we want the freshmen to feel like they can come in and as long as they are working just as hard as us, they are part of this team.” Three freshmen have undoubtedly earned equality by making the starting lineup this season. Nicole Breece, Tailor Smith and Taylore Peterson are three starters, each playing a different position. Breece sits up top in the forward position with Peterson as a defensive midfielder and Smith on the backline. Already tallying her first collegiate goal, Breece felt nothing but excitement when she tied the game against Illinois State. “It was really exciting because we were down, so to tie it up was really cool,” Breece said. “For it to be my first collegiate goal was really exciting because I didn’t know when it would come and I was excited that it finally did.” With the transition from a three-back defensive formation to a four-back this year, Smith was put on the line. She didn’t have much of a transition to make with the formation, playing a four-back previously, but was put in a position she wasn’t recently familiar with. “I’ve always been more of a defensive player,” Smith said. “I used to play forward a long time ago, but then I moved to a holding center midfielder and that’s what I have been playing for the past few years. Coming into here, (the coaching staff) put me in center back, which I used to play a lot of four or five years ago. It was just a matter of remembering how to do it and getting it back.” With Jenna Carosio, who played on the backline, now graduated, interim head coach Jeff Freeman felt the three-back was no longer suitable for the current defensive players. Smith was one of the key reasons in Freeman’s decision for the formation change. “Choosing to change the formation to the four-back somewhat had something to do with Tailor and her ability to play there right away,” Freeman said. “She has been very consistent for us on the backline and is certainly not playing anything like a freshman.” Peterson’s position won’t create an assortment of goals or attempts on goal, and she won’t be known for making important stops on the backline; however, her job may be one of the most important inthe game. “She has really been someone who can control the tempo of the game,” Freeman said. “Her ability to speed the game up or slow the game down as we need has really been important to us in terms of keeping possession and keeping teams on their heels and unbalanced.” Though she has played in a midfield position her entire soccer career, the formation change has Peterson adjust her style. “Usually we play four in the midfield, so it’s a different transition since it’s three,” Peterson said. “All the transitions are different now when we are on defense or attacking.” With three freshmen in the starting lineup and others with potential on the sidelines, the freshmen have greatly impacted Illinois so far this season. Read said that this is only the beginning and that the class will continue to impact the program for years to come. “I think we have a great group of freshmen,” Read said. “I think all of them, and that literally means all of them, have the capability to play Division I soccer. They’re all athletic, they’re all smart and are all going to have a great future here at Illinois.”

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson throws a pass against the Tennessee Titans in Seattle. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll named Wilson the team’s starting quarterback. Wilson’s ability to run, as well as Seattle’s other offensive weapons, makes him a possible diamond in the rough for fantasy football.
FANTASY DR FROM PAGE 1B draft. Russell Wilson, quarterback, Seahawks Pete Carroll announced this week that third-round draft pick Wilson will be the Seahawks starter Week One against the Cardinals, making him the fifth rookie quarterback to be named a starter. Wilson doesn’t appear to be as valuable as other rookie options such as Andrew Luck or Robert Griffi n III, but he’s shown he has the ability to run the ball and Seattle does have some offensive weapons at his
is similar to what it was last season. Even with the change in coaching staff, he says the responsibility remains on the players to stop Carder. The gameplan was enough for a win in 2011, when the Illini limited Carder to just 100 passing yards in the second half. “We’ve got to control him,” Beckman said. “I think that’s the biggest thing and we did not do that last year at Toledo. We had two freshmen starting in that football game due to injuries, but that’s no excuse. He’s a good football player and we’ve got to be able to control the underneath passing attack.”

James Starks, running back, Packers Starks has battled injuries since he entered the league in 2010, and this week coach Mike McCarthy said Starks’ recovery from his turf toe injury has been slow going. With the recent arrival of Cedric Benson and Alex Green also in the mix, Starks faces an uphill battle back into fantasy relevance. In his last three seasons, Benson has rushed for at least 1,000 yards. With defenses struggling to con-
tain Aaron Rodgers, Benson will find plenty of room to run, making him a low-risk pickup in the middle rounds of the draft. LeGarrette Blount, running back, Buccaneers Issues with ball control and in short-yardage situations have plagued Blount, which has led to Tampa Bay naming rookie Doug Martin as the starter over the two-year veteran. The question remains: How will Blount respond? Will he refuse to give up like when he ran all over the Packers last year, or will he end up punching Martin in the face?

Referee pleads not guilty to husband’s murder BY LINDA DEUTSCH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A professional tennis referee beat her elderly husband to death with a coffee cup and used the broken handle to repeatedly stab him before judging a tennis match and getting a manicure, prosecutors said in court Wednesday. The actions of Lois Ann Goodman showed premeditation and a lack of remorse, Deputy District Attorney Sharon Ransom said while urging a judge to keep her bail at $1 million. After considering defense arguments, Superior Court Commissioner Mitchell Block reduced bail to $500,000 for the 70-year-
old defendant and allowed home confinement with electronic monitoring after bail is posted. In making the ruling, Block said he considered her close ties to the community, her age and lack of a criminal record. About two dozen supporters fi lled the Van Nuys courtroom as Goodman pleaded not guilty to murdering her 80-year-old husband. For the fi rst time since her arrest, she appeared in an orange jail uniform instead of the tennis referee outfit in which she was arrested. Goodman, who has refereed matches between many tennis greats, was arrested last week
in New York just before she was to referee at the U.S. Open. Her husband, Alan Goodman, died in April. Authorities initially believed he likely fell down stairs at home while she was away, but later decided it was murder. The prosecution asserted Wednesday the victim was struck 10 times on the head. Defense attorney Alison Triessl has claimed her client was physically incapable of committing the crime. Triessl wrote in a previous filing that Goodman has many infirmities, including knee and shoulder replacements, and couldn’t have bludgeoned her husband to death.

American golfers triumph at NB3 Foundation event
2012 London Paralympics begin, aim to change world
Woods, Begay lead West squad to victory at charity challenge
BY SHEILA NORMAN-CULP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — “Enlightenment” was the theme, physicist Stephen Hawking the guide and Olympic Stadium the venue Wednesday night as London welcomed 4,200 athletes from more than 160 nations to the 2012 Paralympic Games. Who better to greet Paralympians than a scientist who has shown the world that physical disabilities do not limit human potential? “The Paralympic Games is about transforming our perception of the world. We are all different, there is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same human spirit,” said Hawking. “What is important is that we have the ability to create ... however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at,” he added. The extravaganza, directed by Bradley Hemmings and Jenny Sealey, was billed as a voyage across “a sea of ideas” — including Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravity, the force that all Earth-bound athletes strive against. The show included 73 deaf and disabled professional performers and 68 disabled people among its 3,250 volunteers. Sebastian Coe, chief of the London organizing committee, issued a big welcome home “to a movement that shows what sport is all about.” “Sport is about what you can do, what you can achieve, the limits you can reach, the barriers you can break. Sport shows what is possible. Sport refuses to take no for an answer,” Coe told the audience of 60,000. The London event is on track to be the most-watched Paralympics ever, with 2.5 million tickets expected to be sold by the time it ends Sept. 9. And of course, this being Britain, the words of Shakespeare once again made an appearance, with both Miranda of “The Tempest” and British actor Ian McKellen announcing that “the greatest adventure is what lies ahead.” That, over the next 11 days, includes Paralympic athletes competing in 20 sports, including archery, cycling, rowing, equestrian, sailing, sitting volleyball, wheelchair tennis and wheelchair basketball. The Paralympic movement tracks its beginnings to the vision of Dr. Ludwig Guttmann, who in 1948 organized an archery competi-

Margaret Maughan, Britain’s first Paralympic gold medalist, lights the Paralympic flame during the Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Paralympics in London on Wednesday. 2.5 million tickets are expected to be sold within the event’s next 11 days. tion for 16 injured patients at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Britain. Wednesday’s ceremony concluded with a bevy of fireworks and Miranda breaking a glass ceiling — just as Paralympians must smash through their own barriers. Pistorius, in an earlier news conference,
praised London for its inclusivity. “Kids didn’t stare at people’s prosthetic legs and they were asking guys in wheelchairs what events they do,” Pistorius said. “There are a lot of people here who don’t focus on the disability anymore — they focus on the athletes’ abilities ... there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
VERONA, N.Y. — Healthy for the fi rst time in years, Notah Begay III fi nally was on the winning side in his signature charity event, and it felt so very good. “Five years! Finally! Great!” Begay said Wednesday after teaming with Tiger Woods to shoot 9-under-par. “I had to get on my partner. He was getting a little lackadaisical out there.” Woods and Begay, longtime friends and former college roommates at Stanford, helped lead the American side to victory in the NB3 Foundation Challenge at Turning Stone Resort’s Atunyote Golf Club. The 12-player field was split into two teams, with Woods and Begay serving on a West squad that also included PGA Tour players Rickie Fowler and Gary Woodland and LPGA Tour players Cristie Kerr and Lexi Thompson. Woods and Begay took on K.J. Choi and Y.E. Yang in one of three stroke-play matches that were billed as an “East Meets West” challenge involving Asian and American players. The other pairings had Woodland and Kerr against Danny Lee and Se Ri Pak, and Fowler and Thompson playing against Charlie Wi and Yani Tseng. Woods and Begay beat Choi and Yang 9-7, Woodland and Kerr beat Lee and Pak 8-7, and Tseng and Wi tied Fowler and Thompson 7-7, giving the Americans a 2.5 to 0.5 victory. The winning team shared $450,000, and Woods presented Begay a check for $500,000 for his foundation. Begay has raised
well over $3 million for his foundation, which is dedicated to helping fight obesity and diabetes in the Native American community. Plagued by back problems that have relegated him to playing only a few PGA Tour events and spending time in the broadcast booth, Begay shone on a bright, sunny day with a slight breeze, carding five birdies to four for Woods. Before they teed off, Begay turned to Woods and said: “We want to win, right?” Woods shrugged, then went out and birdied the opening hole, his short putt catching the lip of the cup and dropping softly to match Yang’s birdie. Yang sank a 4-foot birdie putt at No. 4 and his tip-in birdie at the par-5 fifth hole, a dogleg left, brought his team to 3-under, one shot ahead after Begay rolled in a 6-foot birdie putt seconds later. Woods made a 33-foot putt for birdie at No. 7 to even the score between the two groups and Begay followed with a short birdie putt at No. 8 as he and Woods reached 4-under. When Choi rolled in a downhill 12-foot putt that broke slightly right to left at No. 9, he and Yang were at 4-under and tied with Woods and Begay, Fowler and Thompson, Woodland and Kerr, and Danny Lee and Pak. Tseng and Wi birdied the 10th hole to reach 4-under and knot the competition all around. Moments later, the match turned. Woods birdied No. 10 and Begay followed with birdie at 11 while their foes made bogey, giving the American duo a twostroke lead they protected over the remaining holes.

DENVER — Though the Colorado Rockies won’t be playing in the postseason, they’re doing their best to determine who will be around in October. The Rockies nearly derailed the Los Angeles Dodgers with a seven-run rally in the eighth inning before losing 10-8 on Wednesday. The loss prevented a three-game sweep of the Dodgers, who have strong playoff aspirations after swinging a nine-player deal with Boston on Saturday. Starter Drew Pomeranz retired the fi rst six batters he faced before running into trouble in the third, when the Dodgers sent nine batters to the plate and scored six runs. Pomeranz (1-8) lost his fi fth consecutive decision since his lone win of the season July 6
against Washington. He allowed six runs on six hits, walked none and struck out four. After Colorado got an RBI single from Tyler Colvin in the seventh for its fi rst run, the Dodgers stretched their lead to 10-1, loading the bases against reliever Will Harris before A.J. Ellis connected for his 11th home run of the season. Colorado responded by playing small ball. The Rockies had 15 hits, all of them singles, and six came in the eighth when they sent 11 batters to the plate. Blanton retired the fi rst batter he faced and gave up successive singles to Pacheco and Ramon Hernandez before being relieved by Shawn Tolleson, who gave up three run-scoring singles and a walk before being lifted for Randy Choate. Choate hit Colvin with a
pitch, forcing in another run and bringing on reliever Ronald Belisario. The Rockies added three more runs in the inning on Josh Rutledge’s fi elder’s choice, Gonzalez’s RBI single and an error by center fielder Victorino. Belisario got the fi nal five outs for his fi rst save since Sept. 29, 2010, which also was against Colorado. Blanton (9-12), who was 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in four previous starts since joining the Dodgers in an Aug. 3 trade with Philadelphia, struck out five and walked one in 7 1-3 innings. It was his fi rst win since July 16 when he beat the Dodgers in one of his last starts for the Phillies. Belisario got the fi nal five outs for his fi rst save since Sept. 29, 2010, which also was against Colorado.
Heisey hits 2 home runs in Reds’ win over Diamondbacks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Chris Heisey hit two of Cincinnati’s four home runs, including the tying two-run shot in the seventh inning, to rally the Reds to a 6-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Dioner Navarro’s solo shot two batters after Heisey’s first blast put Cincinnati ahead, Brandon Phillips added a two-run homer in the eighth and Heisey capped the scoring two outs later. The NL Central-leading Reds swept the three-game series and sent the reeling Diamondbacks to their sixth straight home loss. Reds starter Matt Latos (11-4)
pitched seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and three walks. Cincinnati trailed 2-0 until the top of the seventh, shut out on two hits by Diamondbacks starter Patrick Corbin (5-6). Todd Frazier doubled with one out and scored on Heisey’s fifth home run of the season. With two out, Navarro roped his home run inside the left-field foul pole to give the Reds the lead. In the eighth, Phillips and Heisey went deep off reliever Matt Albers. Latos, who also had two hits, got his first win since Aug. 3 against Pittsburgh and his first at Arizona since August 2010.
He struggled some in the fi rst inning, allowing two hits and walking two. A balk allowed Aaron Hill to score from third base with two out to give the Diamondbacks a 1-0 lead. Jake Elmore’s two-out RBI double in the fourth put Arizona up 2-0, but Latos went on to retire 10 of the next 12 batters he faced. The Diamondbacks lost eight of 10 on their homestand to drop three games below .500 for the fi rst time since July 20. Corbin allowed three runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking out eight in his fi rst career start against the Reds.
Blue Jays beat Yankees for 1st win in 5 years against Sabathia BY HOWIE RUMBERG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Yunel Esccobar hit a two-run homer, three doubles and drove in five runs as Toronto beat the New York Yankees 8-5 Wednesday, ending CC Sabathia’s five years of dominance over the Blue Jays. Escobar had a go-ahead RBI double in the third. His homer against Sabathia in the sixth gave the Blue Jays the lead again and his two-run double off Joba Chamberlain in the ninth helped secure Toronto’s first series win since July 27-29. The five RBIs were a career high for Escobar. J.A. Happ (3-1) overcame a season-high five walks, including an intentional pass of Derek Jeter to load the bases with one out in the fourth inning, for the Blue Jays’ second win in 10 games. The Yankees made three errors in losing for the sixth time in nine games. Their inability to win consecutive games for the first time since sweeping Texas three in a row Aug. 13-15 has hurt them in the standings. New York’s lead in the AL East would dwindle to 2 ½ half games if Baltimore wins later Wednesday. June 24 was the last time anyone was that close. Four Blue Jays relievers combined to hold New York to a run. Jones and Curtis Granderson drove in runs after Jeter led off the first with a single and Nick Swisher walked. Granderson added a two-run double in the third to give the Yankees a 4-3 lead after Happ walked two and threw a wild pitch. In the fourth Happ got himself in trouble again, starting off the inning by walking Nix and giving up a double to Suzuki. With one

Manager John Farrell’s move paid off. Happ struck out Swisher and Robinson Cano.
Happ pitched a quick fifth and was done for the day, having allowed four hits and four runs. He struck out six. It was Happ’s second win against the Yankees since coming over in a trade with Houston on July 20.
