Project to improve Boneyard Creek comes in over budget

Police say to keep doors locked after 309 break-in

BY GORDON UTENDAHL STAFF WRITER

After estimates for a beautification project at Boneyard Creek came in $2.5 million over budget, Urbana officials are beginning to look toward cost-cutting alternatives. The Boneyard Creek Improvements Project aims to improve the design and aesthetics of the Urbana-Champaign waterway to include a walkway for local residents and adjacent properties. “Unless we can come up with another money source or continue to work with the contractors in reducing costs, the only thing remaining would be to start eliminating features,” said Dennis Roberts, Ward 5.

Police continue to investigate a burglary that occurred Wednesday night at the Roland Realty apartment complex at 309 E. Green St. During the burglary, a man entered a woman’s apartment while she was showering. The victim had observed the offender kneeling by the tub, trying to look at her. She then yelled at the offender, who then fled. The victim then closed and locked the bathroom door, but the offender again attempted to enter. After the victim continued to scream, the offender left the apartment. According to the police report, the offender also took $45 in cash. Following this incident, University police officers are reminding students to always keep their doors locked and be careful about who drifts in behind them when entering their place of residence. Capt. Skip Frost of University Police said that because the crime did not occur on university property, it did not warrant a Crime-Alert. An advisory was sent out instead via email from the Division of Public Safety. Frost also said the crime was reported

Following this incident, University police officers are reminding students to always keep their doors locked. to the Champaign Police Department, so it is their case to handle. “Clearly, we realize that this (crime) was close enough to campus that we want to let our students know that ‘Hey, this incident occurred,’” Frost said. “As soon as we became aware of it, we wanted to put that information out.” The advisory also featured pictures of the offender, who was described as “a skinny black male, approximately 20 years of age, 6 foot tall, wearing a red ‘Angry Birds’ ball cap and a red shirt.” The police are hoping to get information from students who might know

about the offender. Lt. Tony Brown of University Police said there is a potential for an updated advisory to be sent out, which would include video footage. “There’s also indications from the video that (the Champaign Police Department) has been able to view that he attempted to get into several other apartments and may have actually accessed those other apartments,” Brown said.

Roberts thinks the extraneous aspects of the project, such as the specialty light fi xtures, art motifs in the concrete walls and stone facade, will be the fi rst parts of the project removed from construction plans. “We’re going to regret losing project details at the expense of budget costs,” Roberts said. “The beauty of the walk as we envisioned it through the artist that helped us design it was that it could be unique and include art.” He plans to discuss other methods to reduce project costs during the regular city council meeting Monday.

Some San Fran health care fees not going to health care BY FENIT NIRAPPIL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — Restaurants and other businesses in this food-loving tourist mecca collected almost $14 million dollars in extra fees last year from their patrons, as they sought to comply with the progressive city’s landmark universal health care ordinance. But an Associated Press analysis of records showed that roughly 40 percent of that money hasn’t been spent on their workers’ health care. The surcharges, which range from 3 to 5 percent and often appear in fi ne print on receipts, are one result of San Francisco’s 5-year-old health care program, which includes some of the most far-reaching such requirements mandated by any U.S. city. The law applies to more than 4,000 businesses with as few as 20 part-time workers, from nail salons to international banks with local branches, requiring them to set aside for workers an extra $1 to $3 an hour for health care. The city’s mandate is unrelated to the federal health care law that takes effect in 2014 and will apply only to companies with 50 or more employees. They could face fi nes if they don’t provide coverage. And the IRS will collect the money, minimizing the chances of gaming the system.

In San Francisco, the fees have become a vexing issue for local officials, labor leaders and restaurants, whose owners say they are doing their best to comply with what many consider to be a confusing law with an admirable goal. City officials say the vast majority of businesses in San Francisco go beyond what’s required to make sure their workers have health care. But Donna Levitt, who is head of the city’s Office of Labor Standards and Enforcement, said self-reporting by the 5 percent of businesses with surcharges last year confi rms the city’s suspicion that the money doesn’t always go to health care. There was nothing on the books in 2011 that required businesses to spend all the health surcharge money they took in. But a new law took effect this year requiring them to use the money for its intended purpos, or face a consumer fraud investigation. In July, the San Francisco Civil Grand Jury raised concerns about abuse of the surcharges after looking at about three dozen restaurants jury members had patronized. It concluded many businesses were misleading customers into believing that every dollar was going to the health and well-being of workers.

PRIDE FEST FROM PAGE 1A The booths advertised for various organizations and political campaigns, including the Urbana Free Library, Community United Church of Christ and Planned Parenthood of Illinois. George Danos , Democratic candidate for Champaign County auditor, spoke at a candidate forum. “Most of the questions were centered on those of LGBT

concerns,” Danos said. “We discussed the training for the acceptance of gay people among teachers, fi remen and policemen.” The festival also featured drag performances, which were held at the Piato Cafe on Broadway Avenue. “We enjoyed the drag show most, especially the Pound the Alarm show,” attendee Brandi Carlson said. “It’s fun and exciting.” Justin Johnson, whose stage persona is Leiloni Stars, is a

board member at-large for the center. Johnson performed and held a workshop for youth on how to do drag. Johnson said the art of drag can help people be more accepting. “I believe this is all about connecting with people,” Johnson said. “It helps people to open their mind, to see different kinds of people. People are people. It doesn’t matter how you live, who you love. We are all the same. We are all here for this event.” Kelly Jo Lamb, owner and

Shell begins historic drilling project off Alaskan shore Safety measures quiet concerns of potential spill BY DAN JOLING ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — More than four years after Royal Dutch Shell paid $2.8 billion to the federal government for petroleum leases in the Chukchi Sea, a company vessel on Sunday morning sent a drill bit into the ocean floor, beginning preliminary work on an exploratory well 70 miles off the northwest coast of Alaska. Drilling began at 4:30 a.m., said Shell Alaska spokesman Curtis Smith. Shell Alaska Vice President Pete Slaiby called it historic. “It’s the fi rst time a drill bit has touched the sea floor in the U.S. Chukchi Sea in more than two decades,” Slaiby said in a prepared statement. “This is an exciting time for Alaska and for Shell. We look forward to continued drilling progress throughout the next several weeks and to adding another chapter to Alaska’s esteemed oil and gas history.” Federal offi cials estimate Arctic waters in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas hold 26 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 130 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Interior secretary Ken Salazar announced Aug. 30 that Shell would be permitted to begin preparation work at the Chukchi site even though the company’s spill response barge has not been certified and is not positioned nearby. The company is authorized to drill narrow pilot holes 1,400 feet below the ocean fl oor and roughly 4,000 feet above a petroleum reservoir.

Shell has spent upward of $4.5 billion for Arctic Ocean drilling but had been thwarted from drilling by environmental lawsuit, regulatory requirements and short open-water drilling seasons. Despite the requirement to stay out of oil-bearing rock, they were elated to fi nally begin work. “In the days to come, drilling will continue in the Chukchi Sea, and we will prepare for drilling to commence in the Beaufort Sea,” Slaiby said. Drilling is bitterly opposed by environmental groups that say oil companies have not demonstrated they can clean up a spill in ice-choked water. They say a spill of the magnitude of the Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico would be catastrophic in a region hammered by climate warming and home to endangered or threatened marine mammals such as bowhead whales, polar bear and walrus. Shell officials say there’s little chance of that happening. They are drilling in about 130 feet deep, versus 5,000 at the site of the gulf spill, and wellhead pressure is expected to be far less. Shell also claims its support vessels could quickly choke off and respond to a spill. Smith said workers Friday completed mooring of the drill ship, the Noble Discoverer, in heavy seas with eight anchors that each weigh 15 tons and are staged on the seafloor in a circular pattern. The diameter of the anchor pattern, he said by email, was more than 6,500-feet. A 20-by-40-by-40-foot mudline cellar will allow a blowout preventer to be positioned below the seafl oor, protecting it from ice scraping the bottom. The oil spill response barge remains in Bellingham, Wash., and is expected to undergo sea trials over the weekend, he said.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney arrives at his campaign headquarters in Boston to prepare for the presidential debates on Sunday. He said on “Meet the Press” that he would continue parts of Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, including provisions that would cover pre-existing conditions.

Romney says he would continue some parts of Obama’s health care overhaul BY JIM KUHNHENN AND THOMAS BEAUMONT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — Mitt Romney said he would retain some popular parts of the new health care law he has pledged to repeal, while President Barack Obama focused attention in all-important Florida on the Republican ticket’s stand on Medicare, an issue that’s been more favorable to Democrats. Romney also said it was a “mistake” for congressional Republicans to go along with the White House on a budget deal that has set up big automatic spending cuts in defense and elsewhere in the new year. His running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, helped steer that agreement through Congress. Health care grabbed the spotlight Sunday, less than months from Election Day in the deadlocked race. Romney, appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” for the fi rst time in the campaign and the fi rst time since June 28, 2009, said he would replace Obama’s health overhaul with a plan entirely his own yet would keep some popular provisions. “I’m not getting rid of all of health care reform. Of course, there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I’m going to put in place,” Romney said in the interview

taped Friday and Saturday. He cited coverage for people with medical conditions and new insurance marketplaces. Romney’s aides said that was consistent with his previous position that those who haven’t had a gap in coverage shouldn’t be denied coverage. But the comments brought renewed attention to the similarities between Obama’s plan and the one Romney championed when he was Massachusetts governor, which included both protections for health conditions and an individual mandate that the Republican has since railed against. The GOP nominee, who attended church in Boston before debate practice sessions, didn’t offer specifics for how he’d deal with the affordability of insurance but suggested competition would help bring down costs. For seniors, Romney has called for restructuring Medicare by giving retirees a government payment that they would use to choose between traditional Medicare and private insurance. Obama, campaign for a second day in Florida, tried to move past a weak jobs report Friday and highlight the impact of Romney’s proposals on older workers and those nearing retirement.

The president promoted a study showing that future retirees under Romney’s plan would pay tens of thousands more for health care over their retirement period. The report was rejected quickly by Romney’s campaign, which faulted Obama for relying on “discredited attacks” and noted the study was conducted by Obama’s former adviser. Obama told about 3,000 supporters in Melbourne, Fla., that if Romney had his way, Americans will pay more so insurers could make more. “No American should have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies,” he said. In Ohio, another critical battleground, Vice President Joe Biden piled on, mocking Republicans for saying they want to protect Medicare and claiming that under Romney’s leadership, benefits would be slashed. Hoping to put a human face on the issue, Obama ate breakfast at a Florida cafe with two older couples concerned about Medicare costs. But a brief interaction with another patron and Romney supporter underscored what polls show is a persistent problem for Obama with voters who like him personally but question his economic competence. Said 73-year-old Bill Terrell of Cocoa, Fla.: “I always thought he was a very personable person,

nice person. I just don’t think he’s doing a good job on the economy.” In broadcast interviews, Romney and Ryan kept the heat on Obama on the economic front, warning that across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect at the start of 2013 could devastate the defense budget. Half of the cuts are expected to come from the Pentagon if Congress doesn’t reach a budget solution in the next few months. But Romney’s attacks on the president for signing the deficitreduction measure had some collateral damage for his running mate, who as House Budget Committee chairman both voted for and loudly praised the bill that created the trigger for the automatic spending cuts. “I thought it was a mistake on the part of the White House to propose it,” Romney said. “I think it was a mistake for Republicans to go along with it.” With an eye toward undecided voters dismayed by the lackluster recovery, Romney and Ryan faulted Obama for failing to provide the tax relief they say holds the key to the creation of millions of jobs. Romney has pledged to lower tax rates for by 20 percent for all Americans — including the wealthy. Romney has said he’ll pay for those cuts by eliminating loopholes and deductions for higherincome earners.

This University’s Disability Resources and Educational Services has a laudable past in its achievements for students with disabilities, including the first wheelchair-accessible bus route system, the first accessible residence halls and the first adapted athletics program, which garnered the first Olympic Gold for a wheelchair athlete. Students at the nowclosed Galesburg, Ill., University campus fought to maintain a facility in the state’s university system during a time when enthusiasm for providing equitable education to students with disabilities was low. Today, the University will cancel a lecture if even one student is unable to reasonably access the classroom on any given day because of a broken elevator or a damaged ramp. Even with all of the University’s triumphs, challenges still exist on this campus, and this year’s sorority rush season is no exception. This year’s rush pool included a student in a wheelchair, and reflecting the University’s commitment to being disability friendly, sororities readied their houses. The Panhellenic Council of the University expects that sororities provide equal opportunity for any potential new member to participate in formal recruitment. This means each chapter would have ramps at the ready for any woman who uses a wheelchair or has any other physical disability. These temporary ramps were to stay in place until the conclusion of this fall’s recruitment. Although DRES’ commitment to providing equal opportunities for students “to participate and benefit from the programs, services and activities of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign” is clear throughout much of the University’s culture, progress can still be made in the social atmosphere. And we support the efforts acknowledged in the Greek system. One of the purposes of the Greek system is to provide a place for students to make lifelong relationships, and students with disabilities should not be excluded from this opportunity. But there are some sororities on campus that are not equipped to have a member in a wheelchair, for example, live in a house. Meeting many of the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act can be costly, with construction of new permanent ramps or installation of elevators. But that’s not to say that it cannot be accomplished. Rather, it should be encouraged. Of course, a member who accepts a bid from a sorority does not necessarily have to live in an inaccessible house, but all efforts for inclusion should continue to be made. Many students support inclusiveness on campus, especially in academia, but there is always room for improvement, especially in the general culture at the University.

We Amy-Will Wailers should remember the normal, adorable couple TOLU TAIWO Opinions columnist

I’m

sure you’ve seen us around the Internet. Our complaints have spanned entire news feeds, and we’ve posted articles and links and gifs and pictures on the subject. Sometimes, you hear us talking in hushed tones in our homes. “Can you believe it?” “Is this really happening?” We are the ones crying onto our computer keys as we watch “Blades of Glory” over and over again (or is once just enough?). Because we are the Amy-Will Wailers, mourners of the high-profile relationship of two wonderful comedians. If you managed to escape of all the sadness in the last couple of days, the lowdown is this: After nine years of marriage and two kids, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett split up. In the world of high-profile celebrities, this isn’t uncommon (I feel like there’s another divorce every three days); however, it seems like this breakup has rocked most of the masses. I’ll admit it. I’ve been going around telling people that love is dead. Of course, there are bigger and maybe better things to worry about in the world. I’ve been told I need to calm down because — let’s face

it — I don’t know these people personally. I’ve been sad too hard and for too long. Why should I care so much? Two words: proper representation. Now, hero worship is kind of dumb; I will be the first to admit that. It’s a choice of looking toward someone else’s lifestyle instead of getting yours together. And while fun, we are sometimes too caught up in it, especially for our age. But sometimes, you can’t help it. And not because you’re a lovestruck teenager with some crazy Beiber fever, or you got to know what dress Taylor Swift wore at the Grammys (although sometimes, you get swept). But because the person you’re fascinated with has some qualities you want to emulate. See for me — and I’m sure for a majority of the Amy-Will Wailers — Poehler and Arnett are some of the greatest people on the face of the earth. Separate, they are each funny in their own respective humors. They make up some of the greatest television shows the 21st century has ever seen, including “Arrested Development” and “Parks and Recreation.” Together, well, they weren’t just any comedian couple. They were cute without being overbearing, funny without being over the top, and stable enough to make us believe that not all celebrity relationships are crazy. Even the way they split up was super classy. There was no cra-

zy cheating, or stabbing or huge, messy fight in Times Square. It came out of nowhere, and they both are handling it like champs from what I can tell. In fact, as The Huffington Post put it, the split was “amicable.” There is no “Team Amy” or “Team Will.” There is just sadness. I’m not bummed because Amy and Will are pretty and I want them to make more beautiful children (at least ... that’s not my main concern). And I’m not exactly weeping and wailing and reading all of the articles because I have nothing to do. It’s just that it was refreshing to see two stars carry out a normal, adorable relationship. They represented everything I strive to have in a relationship. Honestly, it’s not even strange that some of us are upset. A little part of everyone is sad when they see a couple that had it together splits apart. Maybe it’s an aunt and uncle, or our best friend and their significant other. But right now, it’s Poehler and Arnett. So for all the ones who have their heads out of the clouds of melancholy, give us Wailers a couple of days to get steady. We’ll come down to reality soon and talk about something else. For now, though, if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with “Blades of Glory.”

What’s the point of the Olympics? To compete, to medal — or to escape? KIRSTEN KELLER Opinions columnist

ost athletes from Western countries view the Olympics as a chance to showcase their talents, maybe coming home with a medal. But those athletes from third-world countries may come to the Olympics with a different goal in mind: to escape. There is a history of Olympic athletes going missing either before, during or after the games — they either return to their home countries before their visas expire or eventually apply for asylum from the host country. The Telegraph reported that almost a month after the closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics, over 20 athletes were reported as missing or that have already applied for asylum. This juxtaposition of winning vs. surviving is disparaging. While Michael Phelps was focused on attaining the title of the most-decorated Olympian (a feat that in no way I wish to degrade), an unidentified athlete from east Africa claimed asylum in Britain even before the Opening Ceremony. The Games are a piece of a larger goal called the Olympic Movement, with one of its purposes being to “help build a better world through sport practiced in a spirit

of peace, excellence, friendship and respect.” For the most part, these qualities are thoroughly demonstrated throughout the duration of the games. But this is only a two-week snapshot in a period of two years — it’s hard to see the effects of the Olympic Movement outside the games themselves. After all, the Olympic Truce that was renewed in 1992 calls for global peace during the Olympics, but once the games are over, the quasi-vacation is over: Many athletes return home to swarms of fans, others return home to warfare and persecution, and a select group choose to extend their stay in the host country. All over the world, human rights are being breached and there are wide gaps in equality. In 78 countries, sexual acts between two same-sex adults are illegal. In five of these countries, it is punishable by death. The first two Saudi Arabian females to compete in the games are chastised and shunned by much of their country. North Korean athletes probably got their first glimpse of the outside world. However, there is a silver lining. According to Olympic historian and NBC commentator David Wallechinsky, most athletes who apply for asylum are granted it. So those homosexual athletes who face persecution in their home countries can exist freely in another. And those athletes who fear returning to strict dictatorships or constant

warfare can live in peace. The Olympics gives athletes the chance to compete on a world stage, to bear the fruits of their labor and to represent their country. And some athletes take something even more important away from the experience — a chance at life. It’s not a glorious representation of the Olympics. Ideally, every athlete who wins a medal or competes for his or her country can do so knowing that when they return home, they will experience the “peace, excellence, friendship and respect” that was apparent at the games. But conflict is human, and we cannot live in a crystal-clear world. I hope those athletes who had the courage to uproot themselves and create a new life will do so with success and that in the future they can return to their country when the dust settles. I hope that host countries will continue the history of being open to asylum seekers, for it is inhumane to turn athletes away who face serious danger in their home countries. Living in the western world, it is hard to imagine a conflict that would force us to seek another home. Yet it’s a reality faced by millions of people across the globe, and for some, a free plane ticket out of the country and two weeks to disappear into another is the way to do it.

ould this column read any better if it were written in the shape of a cow? Probably not. Most prose, thank goodness, constrains itself to simple rectangles with little variation: Maybe this article is hollowed out for a picture, maybe that article is notched to make way for an advertisement. Despite the persistent use of rectangles to contain prose, not all quadrilaterals are created equal. Imagine, dear reader, an article for this very newspaper written with only one word per line, stretching down the page in a tedious thread of a column; or imagine a computer file without word wrap, where each paragraph fills only one line, extending as far to the right as needed (Go on, read “Ulysses” that way, I dare ya). The words might be the same in each case, but the shape of the text can change how easily it is comprehended. And, perhaps, the actual comprehension itself. Earlier this year, a spate of articles came out worrying about the impact of e-readers on our ability to recall what we read, especially with textbooks being released in digital formats. Recent science has suggested that our spatial awareness of information within a book — such as whether the page is near the front or the end, how the paragraphs are arranged on the page or where on the page an important word or phrase is used — helps us to remember what we read later; this spatial information acts like a collection of landmarks for our memory. E-books, especially those that display text in a long unbroken column, lack those landmarks and may make recollection more difficult. This problem is not just restricted to Kindles and Nooks, but is inherent in digital media in the wake of the Internet. When the ability to display information digitally started knocking on our minds, we, as a society, became fascinated by the idea of painting on a virtual — and virtually infinite — canvas. We can continue scrolling in any direction, seeing more and more. But in order to make sense of all this information within our minds, we need limits on this canvas. We need shape. Compare the front page of The New York Times in print with the front page of The Huffington Post (or even The New York Times website to a lesser degree). In print, there is a headline here, a picture there, a few articles in their own areas. Each item has its place within the rectangle of the page, which is small enough that we can take it all in at a glance. Once past the headline and featured blog post of The Huffington Post, however, the layout devolves into a monotonous list of headlines, snippits and pictures stretching far down the page. Trying to make sense of it all at once would be akin to trying to enjoy reading just the chapter titles from a Mark Twain novel: By the fifth one, you start mentally transforming each line into “In which something interesting occurred.” That digital information presentation lags behind analog methods is in no way surprising. We have been improving the art of the book for nearly two millennia: We have only been improving the art of the webpage for around two decades. There is a lot left unexplored. How, for one example, can we better incorporate depth into digital media? It is possible that e-readers and the Internet will eventually incorporate spatial landmarks to an even greater extent than modern books can; it is also possible that future generations, raised in an environment full of digital media, will develop their own spatial landmarks in a way we, who grew up without such things, cannot. (For my money, I would wager that the difference between digital and analog presentations will become small, but that there will still remain pros and cons to each.) We, the first generation to step out onto that grand virtual canvas, are making mistakes. We are still learning that screen size matters when we want to better remember what we read. For all we know, the future of prose might look cow-shaped after all.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD 1

KATHY WILLENS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Denny Fallon pauses for a drink while cleaning up debris following a possible tornado that tore the roof off his cabana at the Breezy Point Surf Club in the Queens section of in New York on Saturday. A tornado swept out of the sea and hit the beachfront neighborhood in New York City, hurling debris in the air, knocking out power and startling residents who once thought of twisters as a Midwestern phenomenon.

Two tornadoes touch down in New York City BY VERENA DOBNIK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Most people wouldn’t say New York and tornado in the same breath. But two twisters that touched down in the nation’s biggest city Saturday are the latest of about 60 small tornadoes that have hit the area in the past half-century, the years for which complete data are available. Saturday’s pair brings to 10 the total number of tornadoes since 2007 in New York City, according to the National Weather Service. To some, the tornadoes of the past few years might appear to be an uptick in the trend. Not so fast, said meteorologist David Stark of the weather service. “In the past five years, there’s been a slight increase in the num-

ber of tornadoes in the area, but it’s too short a period of time to say it’s a growing trend,” Stark said. He pointed to the previous five years, 2001-2006, when a total of eight twisters were recorded. “That’s not to say the touchdowns are going to continue at the same pace,” noted Stark. “It’s up and down, up and down, and it’s not uncommon in the late summer months to see this.” On Saturday, a dark funnel descended on the Breezy Point Surf Club in Queens, flooding nearby roads, mangling power lines and later forcing more than 20,000 spectators to be evacuated from the U.S. Open tennis tournament a few miles away. It took only a few minutes for the 70-mph wind and roaring

water to rip through walls and lift roofs off homes, while sending beach chairs flying and lifting kayaks out of the water. And it didn’t take much longer for images of the storm to appear online. Saturday’s second tornado hit Brooklyn’s Canarsie neighborhood, whipping up winds of 110 miles per hour over a half mile, snapping trees and house awnings and breaking windows. On Sunday, power had been restored for the more than 1,100 customers in New York who had lost it. No deaths or injuries were reported as a result of the twisters, coming from a storm system that brought damaging winds from Pennsylvania to upstate New York.

BEIJING — Survivors of a series of earthquakes that killed 81 people and injured more than 800 in a mountainous area of southwestern China were desperately waiting for more aid to arrive Sunday as jolting aftershocks kept fears high and hindered rescue efforts. The latest victim was a 2-yearold child who was hit by a falling wall as an aftershock struck Saturday night, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported. The fi rst earthquakes struck Friday in a region of small farms and mines near the border between Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, where some of China’s poorest people live. They toppled thousands of homes and sent boulders cascading across roads, and authorities evacuated more than 200,000 villagers. The area was still being jolted by aftershocks Sunday, raising fears of more injuries and fatalities. Footage from China Central Television showed rescuers and sniffer dogs running past steep slopes because of the risk of fistsized stones tumbling down. It also showed an ambulance stuck in stones and debris. Almost all of the 110,000 people who live in Yiliang county’s Jiaokui town, about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the epicenter of one of the earthquakes, had evacuated, but many had no shelter and were waiting for supplies, a town official said by telephone. “They are living in the open air now,” said the official, who gave only his surname, Xiao. “We are

CHICAGO — Days after U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. was released from a hospital where he was being treated for bipolar disorder, it’s still unclear when he’ll return to work. The Chicago Democrat left the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., last week and is back in Washington with his family following months out of the public eye on a secretive medical leave. But neither his office, his civil rights leader father, nor his wife, Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, could say when Jackson would return to the office. Jackson spokesman Frank Watkins said Sunday that he had no information. A day earlier, Jackson’s father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, told reporters that he didn’t expect his son to rush back.

Authorities poured aid into a remote mountainous area of southwestern China, and rescue workers with sniffer dogs searched for survivors after twin earthquakes killed 81 people and injured more than 800. in dire need of tents and quilts. We only received 2,200 tents. Many people have no quilts and are not living in tents.” A resident of Luozehe town, close to where the quakes struck, said he and others were evacuated to a more central area of the county. “It’s quite hot here, there isn’t enough drinking water or tents,” said Wu Xuehong, who described seeing dead livestock after farm buildings collapsed. More than 11,000 tents, 8,500 quilts, 6,000 coats and other supplies including bottled water and rice have been delivered to Yiliang and more are on the way, Xinhua said, citing the rescue

headquarters. The first magnitude-5.6 quake struck just before 11:30 a.m. Friday and was followed by an equally strong quake shortly after noon. Though of moderate strength, the quakes were shallow. Such quakes often cause more damage than deeper ones. As of noon Sunday, there had been 279 aftershocks, said Zhang Junwei, spokesman of Yunnan’s seismological bureau. Xinhua quoted Zhou Guangfu, deputy chief of the county’s education bureau, as saying that three students were among those who died.

No word on Rep. Jackson’s return BY SOPHIA TAREEN

DAN DOUGHERTY

“I hope he does not move quickly, because he’s so anxious to function; so anxious to work. He’s programmed in that direction. He wants to serve. I think his people have been quite generous to him in terms of giving him time,” Jackson told reporters. “But my concern is that of a father. I have no interest in the political timetable. It’s his health timetable, and there is no date certain for that.” Very little information has been available about the congressman’s condition and recovery. Jackson’s office waited two weeks before disclosing that the 47-year-old congressman went on medical leave June 10 and initially described him as suffering from exhaustion. Later, it referred to his condition as a “mood disorder.” Last month, his office disclosed that he was at Mayo and

being treated for depression after a transfer from the Sierra Tucson Treatment Center in Arizona. The Mayo Clinic has said that Jackson was being treated for Bipolar II, which means he was suffering from periodic episodes of depression and hypomania. Jackson is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for ties to imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The committee is looking into allegations Jackson was involved in discussions about raising money for Blagojevich’s campaign in exchange for the then-governor appointing him to President Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat. Jackson has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. Jackson, who fi rst took office in 1995, is seeking re-election in his Chicago-area district in November.

Illini junior Tatyana McFadden, right, competes in a women’s 1500-meter T54 category heat at the 2012 Paralympics Games on Thursday in London. McFadden won gold medals in the 400m, 800m and 1500m races.

LASTING MEMORIES FROM LONDON Fourteen current, former Illini depart from Paralympic Games with 20 medals BY MICHAEL WONSOVER STAFF WRITER

The 2012 Paralympic Games came to an end Sunday with 10 Illini wheelchair basketball players earning medals over the weekend as well as four athletes medaling in track and field. Illinois freshman Ray Martin of the U.S. won his third gold medal of the games, finishing first in Friday’s final of the men’s 800-meter run of the T52 classification, a distinction for athletes with spinal cord injuries. He celebrated with a victory lap while proudly waiving the U.S. flag. Martin finished in 2 minutes, 0.34 seconds, ahead of Japan’s Tomoya Ito, who finished the race in 2:00.62. Martin made it a perfect 4-for4 by winning another gold medal in the men’s T52 200 meters Saturday. Martin’s time of 30.25 beat out Ito, who finished with a time of 31.60. Martin ended the 2012 Games with four gold medals, the highest among all Illini athletes. In other action Friday, Illini junior Tatyana McFadden won her third gold medal of the games in the final of the women’s T54 1,500. McFadden’s time of 3:36.42 was good enough to beat Switzerland’s Edith Wolf, who finished in 3:36.78. Illinois graduate Amanda McGrory finished seventh in the

Illini defense allows 510 yards to Sun Devils in 1st loss of Beckman’s tenure BY BOB BAUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Illinois missed starting quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, to be sure. But he doesn’t play defense, and that was the area where the Illini struggled mightily against Arizona State. The Sun Devils scored touchdowns on four of their six fi rsthalf possessions and fumbled the ball away at the Illinois 1-yard line on another, en route to a 45-14 romp over the Illini in the desert on Saturday night. “Any time you lose a quarterback that has won seven games in back-to-back seasons and has been a proven leader for two years, you’re going to miss someone like that,” Illinois coach Tim Beckman said. But, he said, “That’s not the reason we didn’t cover receiv-

ers, missing tackles and throwing interceptions and all that stuff.” Taylor Kelly completed 18 of 24 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown as Arizona State improved to 2-0 under new coach Todd Graham. “I want to put a product on the fi eld that’s exciting to watch,” Graham said. “We are exciting to watch, but we’re just beginning.” Kelly’s backup, Michael Eubank, was 5 of 5 passing for 69 yards and two touchdowns and ran 7 yards for a score. Chris Coyle matched a school record for tight ends with 10 catches, totaling 131 yards and two scores. He caught six passes for 73 yards all of last season. Scheelhaase was out because

from the field. He also recorded four rebounds and eight assists. Terry Bywater scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Great Britain in a losing effort. Former Illini Patrick Anderson and Canada capped off a magical run following a 64-58 gold-medal victory over Australia. Fittingly, Anderson held the ball as the clock ran out, pointing to fans in the crowd, who were holding a Canadian flag. An emotional Canadian squad surrounded Anderson in celebration as the time expired. He once again led his side, recording 34 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists while playing all 40 minutes. Anderson finished the tournament averaging 25 points per game, best among all players. He also finished second in rebounds per game (11.0), third in assists per game (8.0) and third in steals per game (1.6).

Volleyball splits matches against Big East opponents, finds positives despite loss BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

MATT YORK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Illinois quarterback Reilly O'Toole (4) is tackled by Arizona State cornerback Osahon Irabor (24) on Saturday in Tempe, Ariz. O’Toole and Miles Osei played quarterback for injured starter Nathan Scheelhaase. of an ankle injury, but the biggest problem for the Illini (1-1) was on defense , especially against the pass. “We had a lot of ‘eye’ violations,” Beckman said. “We aren’t keying what we are supposed to key. As you saw, there were some wide-open receivers at times.” Illinois joined Nebraska (to UCLA) and Wisconsin (to Oregon State) as Big Ten teams to lose at Pac-12 schools on Saturday. It was a rough day for the conference overall, with the 12 teams going a combined 6-6. Beckman got his fi rst loss as an Illini coach after a 24-7 win in last week’s season opener against Western Michigan. Arizona State (2-0) could have won even bigger but fumbled the ball away twice inside the

Illinois 10. The Sun Devils, who gained a reputation as undisciplined and penalty-prone under former coach Dennis Erickson, were penalized once for 5 yards, and that was an intentional delay of game to set up a punt. Freshman Carlos Mendoza had two interceptions for Arizona State, which was without linebacker Brandon Magee because of a concussion. Josh Ferguson rushed for 101 yards in 14 carries for the Illini, 51 of them on one carry. The Sun Devils rolled up 510 yards to 332 for Illinois. Scheelhaase, a junior who has started 27 games, was a gametime decision after injuring an ankle in last week’s season opener.

The Illinois volleyball team took another hobbling step forward as it continued to walk off the growing pains of a young nucleus, splitting a weekend doubleheader against a pair of Big East opponents. In Friday’s game, a homecoming of sorts for Cincinnati-area native Liz McMahon, the Illini (3-4) offense got in a rhythm and prevailed in four sets over the Bearcats (1-7). And Saturday, Illinois took No. 24 Louisville (8-1) — a team that swept No. 11 Purdue the night before and beat thenNo. 10 Kentucky on Aug. 29 — to five sets before falling in the final set, 15-9. Though at first glance, Illinois’ past two weekends have seemed to be one step forward, one step back, head coach Kevin Hambly said that improvement goes deeper than the team’s record. “I’m disappointed that we didn’t get the win (Saturday), but I also feel like we got better at some things,” Hambly said. “We just need to get more consistent and take advantage of

some opportunities that are given to us.” Redshirt freshman Jocelynn Birks was outstanding in Friday’s win over Cincinnati, recording 25 kills on .449 hitting with just three attack errors. “We all just got comfortable playing, me and Annie (Luhrsen) had a really good connection, and the passers were able to get her the ball and we just had a really good connection and got going, so it felt good,” Birks said. Hambly, while pleased with the win, wasn’t happy with the amount of offense that went through the Willow Springs, Ill., native. “(Birks) carried us, but we relied on her way too much,” Hambly said in a press release after Friday’s win. “We need to get more diversity in the offense.” On Friday, Birks and sophomore hitter Morganne Criswell were the only Illini players with more than 20 kill attempts. In Saturday’s match, that number increased to four. Despite receiv-

Arizona State entered the Illinois red zone nine times, scoring on seven of those possessions, six of which were touchdowns.

Yards the Illinois defense allowed the Arizona State offense to gain, which is almost twice as many yards they allowed in Week One.

Saturday marked the first time redshirt freshman Josh Ferguson surpassed the mark in rushing yards in a single game at Illinois.

aturday’s blowout loss at the hands of Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz., pushed Illinois’ alltime record in the Pacific time zone to 14-22. The time change and climate difference more than likely factors into a majority of those losses as the elements favor the home team, but what happened Saturday, in particular to the defense, was a testament to Sun Devils’ head coach Todd Graham’s offense. In Week One’s lockdown of a Western Michigan team that gained 631 yards against Eastern Illinois in Week Two, the Illini defense held the Broncos to 259 yards. Illinois allowed nearly twice the number of yards to Arizona State, which paved the way for the Sun Devils to score 45 points. Western Michigan came out of the second half on Sept. 1 and drove 48 yards in 1:42 before the Illinois defense held the Broncos to a 45-yard field goal attempt, which they missed. The fast pace quarterback Alex Carder was

Arizona State’s only two fumbles occurred at the Illinois 1- and 9-yard lines, reminders of how much worse the score could have been.

running limited the substitutions and adjustments the defense could make. Against a Mid-American Conference team, the Illini eventually adjusted like they did on that opening drive in the second half, but against another BCS conference opponent, the athleticism playing field is more level, and the Illinois defense didn’t rise to the occasion. The confusion Graham’s offense generates with players in motion and misdirection plays as its staple features was evident from the first drive, as Arizona State marched 69 yards down the field in 2:40 before defensive tackle Akeem Spence forced a fumble at the Illinois 1-yard line. The Illini would force another fumble but eventually lose the turnover battle. Whether they created pressure, Arizona State quarterbacks Taylor Kelly and Michael Eubank were in the zone, completing 23-of-29 passes. When given time to find an open man, any Division I quarterback can make a defense pay. Finding the open man isn’t possible at this point for Illinois quarterbacks who don’t have much at wide receiver. That aside, quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase’s status was unknown during the week, but it was many people’s guess from the outset that Reilly O’Toole or Miles Osei would start.

In what could have been O’Toole’s big chance to impress his head coach at the game’s most important position, he was only 10-of-14 for 54 yards and an interception in his first career start. The passing game wasn’t much worse than it was last week with Scheelhaase, but it was clear, especially early on, O’Toole was rattled and the bad field position in the first few series didn’t help the play calling. When Osei was under center, he provided the escapability Scheelhaase possesses, running for 32 yards on five carries, and also showcased a stronger arm. But his inexperience showed, tossing two interceptions. With two quarterbacks who haven’t been expected to be “the guy” yet in their careers, the offense wasn’t supposed to lead the team to victory. This game always seemed a tossup for head coach Tim Beckman’s squad, but with how good the defense was projected to be, a 30-plus point blowout wasn’t supposed to be on the menu. But that’s the way it happened and this game might turn out to be the best tape for Illinois to learn from, especially when teams want to up the tempo.

Birks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think diversity will help and getting people in one-onone situations instead of double blocks on every ball.â&#x20AC;? Birksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; production decreased Saturday, however, as she had 13 kills on the same number of attempts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 49 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as Friday, with six errors and a .143 hitting percentage. Against Louisville, Illinois lost the first set, 25-18, and was trailing 20-15 in the second. A service error by Louisville sparked an Illini run, fueled by the blocking of Anna Dorn and McMahon. Though

He threw a 1-yard pass to Coyle for the touchdown to make it 21-7. Then things fell apart for Osei. His ill-advised pass was picked off by Mendoza at the Illinois 46. Four plays later, after Kelly threw 41 yards to Jamal Miles, Eubank tossed 3 yards to Coyle for another score, and the Sun Devils were up 28-7. Mendoza picked off Osei again on Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next possession, and the Illini went back to Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole. On the second play following the second-half kickoff, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Tooleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass was intercepted by Alonzo Agwuenu, who returned it 34 yards to the Illinois 13. Kelly threw 12 yards to Foster, then Foster scored on a 1-yard run, and it was 35-7 just 1 minute, 15 seconds into the third quarter.

Freeman and members of the team could not be reached for comment following the loss. The Illini look to improve on their offensive woes from this weekend when they begin their Big Ten slate next Sunday against Iowa. Junior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo and head coach Janet Rayfield will return to the team next week from Japan after contributing to the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; win in the Under-20 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup on Saturday.

Looking to spruce up your nightlife?

Full time

On Friday, May 11 - last day of final exams - at about 5:30 PM at the bus stop on Wright Street towards the ramp from Everitt Lab (ECE Dept.), a couple of people (male and female) loudly accused a male student of harassing them by hand gestures. The student left the group followed by the accusers. If you were on the bus stop and witnessed this incident, we are in need of your help. Call (617) 447-6305 as quickly as you can.
