BY DANIELLE BROWN ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR

The University Police Department and the Office of the Dean of Students have teamed up to reboot the iWatch Program. IWatch is a program that University Detective Becky Lauher and the UIPD started about three years ago and is very similar to Neighborhood Watch. University police said the goal is to teach students and faculty on campus how to be good witnesses for the police and to make everyone on cam-

Wishmakers to donate barn dance profit to Make-A-Wish CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Two years ago, 7-year-old Will was eligible for a gift from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Diagnosed with cancer, he was able to go to Disney World with his family thanks to funding by Wishmakers, a University registered student organization. Wishmakers, a University registered student organization, grants wishes to at least two children a year and works directly with the Illinois branch of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. To raise the money, the group holds a variety of fundraisers and dinners throughout the year.

One such fundraiser was the Wishmaker’s barn dance, held Saturday. With tickets priced at $15, buses picked up attendees outside of KAM’S and transported them to Miner Farm, 5316 West Bloomington Rd., where there was a DJ and hay rides. Margaret Johnson , event coordinator and junior in Media, said in its second year, the dance is one of the group’s bigger fundraisers. She added that the barn dance is one of the organization’s most widely attended events. Johnson said having a barn dance is a good way to bring

awareness to Wishmakers and gain more support from students, as the organization is relatively new to campus. “That’s really what we’ve been trying to do recently, trying to blend our fundraising and our events into what maybe some other clubs and groups have done in the past so that (students) become a little bit more aware (of us),” Johnson said. T he g roup has other fundraisers throughout the year, including a cupcake sale on the Quad and events

Urba n a’s qu a r ter - c ent sales tax increase will go into effect Jan. 1, 2014, and the city will see an estimated tax revenue increase of $686,000. The city of Urbana will only see $343,000 in Fiscal Year 2013 because January falls midway through the fiscal year. This leaves an additional $660,000 in expenditures to be covered, according to an Aug. 22 city council memorandum from Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing. Ur b a n a City Council approved the sales tax

Hundreds of ChampaignUrbana citizens lined up on South Glover Avenue on Thursday morning, hoping to ride home on a previously abandoned bike that had been recovered by Urbana Police. However, the Urbana Police Department had more people than they had bikes at the free bike giveaway. Lt. Robert Fitzgerald, of Urbana Police Department, said this was at least the fourth time the event was held. This time, the department had more than 100 bikes to give away. The bikes distributed had been abandoned and recovered in Urbana but were never claimed by their original owners. “We used to give the bikes to the Boys & Girls Clubs,” Fitzgerald said. “But when people stopped wanting them, we started the bike giveaway.” Fitzgerald also said people line up as early as three hours prior to the giveaway to ensure they get a bike because it’s based on a fi rst-come, fi rstserved basis.

Beginning Jan. 1, Urbana’s sales tax will reach 9 percent — higher than Springfield’s current 8 percent and just shy of Chicago’s 9.25 percent sales tax rates. Eric Jakobsson, Ward 2, said he voted to increase the sales tax “because the choice was (between) increasing (sales) tax, or increasing other taxes, or cutting services.” “It would be a very hard choice between cutting (social services) or cutting person-

Champaign resident Nika Lucks said she was upset that she had missed the opportunity to get a free bike. “I got here at 10:30 a.m. and the police said there were 500 people lined up when they opened,” Lucks said. “If I had known it was fi rst-come, fi rstserved, I would’ve slept here or something!” Fitzgerald confi rmed a large turnout and Urbana Police left the warehouse before 11 a.m. with no bikes left to give away. Amelia Neptune, campus bike coordinator, said the best way to keep a bike from being classified as “abandoned” is to register it at go.illinois.edu/ mybike.

Hostages held in Kenyan mall BY NICHOLAS SOI AND ROBYN DIXON LOS ANGELES TIMES

NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya’s security forces were reported to be closing in on al-Qaida-linked gunmen holding hostages in an upscale shopping mall late Sunday, as a major explosion rocked the building around nightfall. Earlier Sunday, Israeli advisers were reported to be helping Kenya’s government try to free the hostages said to be held by 10 to 15 militants after an attack that killed at least 59 people and wounded 175. There were fears the death toll could mount sharply after the Kenyan Red Cross Society

IWATCH community within the campus of looking out for one another,” Lauher said. University police plan to host one to two-hour-long seminars to train students and faculty in the iWatch program. When the program starts, students will be able to contact UIPD or fi ll out an online application to request training, said the Associate Dean of Students Domonic Cobb. “The police department has done a wonderful job for many years about putting out messages of how we can make ourselves safe on campus,” Cobb said. Lauher also said that this year UIPD has seen an increase in person-on-person crime, which

announced Sunday that 49 people were unaccounted for. It was not clear whether all of those were being held hostage, or if some were hiding or dead, or had fled. The Kenya National Disaster Operation Center said on Twitter that on Sunday evening a major operation had begun, while Kenyan media reported that military forces and elite police units were mounting a final assault to free the hostages. Sporadic gunfire could be heard from the building most of the day. Al-Shabab, the al-Qaida-linked Somali militant group, claimed responsibility for the attack on Saturday, saying it was revenge for

Kenya’s push into Somalia in 2011. Many Kenyans were alarmed at the likely effect the attack would have on tourism and feared more terrorist attacks. Some expressed frustration at the siege’s length as the siege dragged on without a result. President Uhuru Kenyatta on Sunday urged Western governments not to advise travelers to avoid Kenya because it would damage tourism and the Kenyan economy. He said terrorist attacks occurred in Western countries without anyone issuing travel warnings to avoid them. One onlooker, James Mwangi, 19, a student, was holding vigil until the

operation was over, saying he was waiting for news of relatives stuck inside.“This terrorism attack is going to have a very bad impact on the tourism industry. Tourists will think security is not up to standard. The tourism industry will face losses from that,” Mwangi said. Joel Mbugwa, a porter and also part of the crowd watching the building from a distance, was angered by how long the police and military operation was taking. “Why can’t the police and army just go in and shoot these people? There are hostages in there, and they (the terrorists) will just kill them,” he said.

was a factor in the rebooting of the program. “One of the main goals obviously is we want to try to reduce the amount of crimes that occur on campus,” Lauher said. However, UIPD has struggled to make students and faculty aware of the iWatch program. “It’s been an ongoing process for trying to get it going throughout a campus for over the last year,” Lauher said. UIPD partnered with the Office of the Dean of Students to help change that. The office will act as an oncampus facilitator of the iWatch program. The office’s purpose is to promote education around campus, Cobb said, adding that the office found iWatch to be the perfect opportunity to promote their same message.

“We talked about the iWatch program and thought that we would have a great opportunity to augment some of what’s going on and expand it so that it becomes more sustainable and we can raise the profi le on the program for students,” Cobb said. The Office of Dean of Students has already started promoting iWatch around campus, and a number of students and faculty members have already been trained through the program. Cobb said the office reached out to student leaders on campus during the Vice Chancellor’s Student Affairs Lunch Brunch a couple of weeks ago to encourage members of campus organizations to be trained through iWatch as well. “It’s really based on this notion of having students understand

that they’re in a community where folks care about each other and folks want to look out for one another,” Cobb said. “And we also want to communicate that to visitors in the community that we will say something if we see something, we will call and make sure that we report things that are suspicious.” IWatch is still in the beginning phases in reaching the entire campus, but UIPD is hoping to push the program in the right direction. “We are attempting to do this on our campus; there are other campuses that do similar programs, and we’re hoping for success with this program also,” Lauher said.

Outcry in Chicago as 13 people shot in South Side park Mayor Emanuel, Superintendent McCarthy, community leaders discuss impact of illegal guns BY PETER NICKEAS AND JEREMY GORNER CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO — A gunman with a military-grade assault rifle opened fire on a pickup basketball game in a Chicago neighborhood late Thursday, injuring 13 people and pulling the city back into the spotlight for its epidemic of gun violence. The mass shooting — which counted a 3-year-old boy among its victims — prompted Mayor Rahm Emanuel to cut short an East Coast fundraising trip and fly back to Chicago on Friday. Before the mayor’s plane had landed, both international and local press accounts already were questioning whether the city had reached a new level of lawlessness given the type of gun used and the number of people wounded. Shell casings found around the blood-soaked basketball courts at Cornell Square Park in the city’s Back of the Yards neighborhood were the kind typically fired from AK- 47 rifles and rarely found in gang attacks on the city’s South and

West sides. Though gun violence long has plagued impoverished neighborhoods in Chicago, offenders almost never use military-style weapons. “It’s a miracle there has been no fatality,” Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference Friday. “Illegal guns, illegal guns, illegal guns drive violence. ... A military-grade weapon on the streets of Chicago is simply unacceptable.” The park is in a gang-infested area, but not in a so-called impact zone flooded by officers to deter crime, McCarthy said. The nearest zones are three blocks to the north and three blocks to the south, leaving Cornell Square as a no man’s land protected only by occasional patrols and an 11 p.m. curfew. About 45 minutes before the park’s closing time, at least one gunman walked to the basketball court on West 51st Street and opened fire, police said. The 13 people hit included both the game’s players and spectators, all of whom are expected

to survive. Kevin Gordon, 31, said he was talking to his cousin when he was shot in the buttocks and fell to the ground. “It was the longest seconds of my life. It felt like forever,” Gordon said. “I was about to run but I couldn’t. I could feel ‘em whizzing by me. Then it stopped. I looked up and everything was over with. I’m like ‘I’m hit.’ I looked around; it was like everybody was hit.” Three-year-old Deonta Howard was shot near the ear and the bullet exited through his cheek, according to police and relatives. His family said the boy will need plastic surgery. “They shot my baby with a gun that’s bigger than him,” said his mother Shamarah Leggett. “It’s out of control.” Relatives said the boy’s uncle, Jerome Wood, was fatally shot in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood over the Labor Day weekend. “This gun violence has to stop,” Leggett said. “It has to. My baby is only 3. How is he shot in the face with an army

gun? Where are they getting army guns from?” Police believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the Black P. Stones and Gangster Disciples, though neither claims the park as turf, a source said. It was not known if any of the victims were the intended targets. Authorities do not have anyone in custody and are currently reviewing police cameras mounted nearby. There could be as many as three offenders, officials said. The first paramedics on the scene found more than a dozen people lying across the rust-colored court. One person lay near a bicycle that was on its side. A pair of white gym shoes were left near an out-of-bounds line. Ambulances continued to arrive for nearly a half hour after the shootings as wounded people including a 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl - were carried out on stretchers. About 60 police officers converged on the park, and crime lab investigators combed the scene. Mario Campbell, who was

The scene of a multiple shooting near intersection of 50th and Wood in Chicago, Illinois, as seen on Thursday. shot three times in the abdomen, had been worried about gang conflicts in the past week, his mother Diane Cade said. The 25-year-old aspiring cook stayed inside most of the week but went to the park with friends to watch the basketball game. “Out here it’s hard for a boy, no matter what you try to do with your life, no matter how

you try to change ... it’s hard,” Cade said. McCarthy repeatedly refused to address whether the shooting blemishes the city’s reputation or the toll on his department’s efforts to curb gun violence. “Every time somebody is shot in this city, it’s a setback,” McCarthy said. “But this is not a problem particular to the city of Chicago.”

Explosions in Pakistan target Christians, kill at least 75 BY ZULFIQAR ALI AND MARK MAGNIER LOS ANGELES TIMES

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Two explosions outside a crowded church in northwest Pakistan just as Sunday services ended killed at least 75 people and wounded more than 100, authorities said, one of Pakistan’s worst attacks against Christians in years. The dead and injured, including children and police officers, overwhelmed the emergency ward of Peshawar’s Lady Reading Hospital, the city’s largest hospital, where television showed hallways filled with corpses, badly wounded patients and women and chil-

dren crying over the charred bodies of relatives. Many bodies were in such bad shape they could not be easily identified, doctors said. The government said 75 people had died. By midafternoon, the AlKidmat Foundation charity had packed 78 corpses into coffins, said Hameed Ullah, the group’s senior coordinator, as it scrambled to collect more coffins from around the city. “The death toll may rise,” said Zaheerul Islam, Peshawar’s deputy commissioner. No group claimed immediate responsibility for Sunday’s attack, but militant Islamist groups active in the area came under suspicion. Muhammad Ali, Peshawar’s chief

of police, said the attack was carried out by two suicide bombers. Generally at the end of Sunday services, he said, the 400 to 500 worshipers usually in attendance at All Saints Church of Pakistan, one of Peshawar’s oldest, are advised to break up into groups for their safety as they head out into the street. “As they were dispersing in groups, a young male tried to attack one of the groups,” he said. “A police official on duty attempted to stop him but he blew himself up. The second one was also a suicide blast. We have recovered the head of one of the bombers.” Within hours of the attack in

Peshawar, the capital of restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, protests by Christian groups erupted in major cities across Pakistan on Sunday afternoon, including Karachi, Peshawar, Islamabad and Quetta. While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Sufi Muslims and other minorities have come under attack from Islamist militants throughout the country in recent years, Christians haven’t generally been targeted in Peshawar or other parts of the insurgent wracked province. Worshipers outside the church described an almost instantaneous transition from calm to carnage. “I

was in the corridor of the church compound when the first explosion occurred, causing panic,” said Kamran Sadiq, a worshiper who suffered shrapnel injuries, wearing a white, blood-stained shalwar kameez. Other worshipers, including church coordinator Hayat Bhati, criticized poor government security and the official policy of appeasing militants. Islamabad has released nearly three dozen Taliban from prisons in recent weeks in a bid to bolster Afghan peace talks. “The government is responsible for this bloodshed,” said John William, a priest with the Church

of Pakistan helping wounded in the hospital. “Instead of punishing militants, they are released from jails.” Catholic groups and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government announced a three-day mourning period. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the attack in Peshawar’s densely packed Kohati Gate district, a mixed residential and shopping neighborhood. “Terrorists have no religion, and targeting innocent people is against the teachings of Islam and all religions,” he said in a written statement. “Such cruel acts of terrorism reflect the brutality and inhumane mind-set of the terrorists.”

EDI TOR IAL Pope shifts focus on controversial issues but not stance

T

he very issues that plague and divide our Congress are not so unfamiliar to the Catholic Church, either. After Pope Francis referred to the existence of a “gay lobby� within the Vatican in June, the discussion surrounding homosexuality in the church amplified. Nearly a month later, the pope had only one question to those unclear about the fate of homosexuals who practice the Catholic faith and whom are good willed: “Who am I to judge?� The pope didn’t condemn homosexuals nor promote them, but rather, he left the issue up for a long-awaited, taboo discussion. Last week, he said those inside the church focus too much on three big issues: abortion, homosexuality, and contraception. While Pope Francis is more progressive than the two popes before him, he does not endorse the Big Three. He has reiterated the Bible and church’s stance on abortion, homosexuality and contraception: They are clear and explicit. But the pope emphasized that these are not the only issues facing the church: “The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent. The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently.� Abortion, homosexuality, contraception — they aren’t the only sins. And they aren’t the only sins that can be forgiven, either, according to Catholic teachings. Love the sinner, hate the sin. Love the person, hate their action. As the church diverges from “obsessing insistently� over these particular doctrines, it will draw more people into the church. A 2013 Pew Research survey of LGBT Americans found that nearly 50 percent had religious affiliations. Of that group, one-third expressed conflict over their sexual and gender identities and religious beliefs. This survey highlights the large population of LGBT individuals who have no religious affiliation at all. It also highlights that those who do have religious affiliations aren’t necessarily comfortable within their religion institution’s views. The teachings and preachings of the Catholic Church are no different than they have been for millennia; the doctrines remain the same. Same-sex marriage is still unnatural and unholy, and abortion is still sinful, according to the pope. He’s simply calling for a redistribution of attention paid to these sins. Love the sinner, hate the sin. Or as Pope Francis may suggest: Love the sinner, stop the preoccupation with the sin.

Glorifying perpetrators promotes culture of violence BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist

T

ry to name the victims of last week’s shooting at the U.S. Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. Try naming the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., massacre that happened in December of last year, or those from the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting of July 2012. Can you name any of the victims from Virginia Tech, Fort Hood, Binghamton or Columbine High School? With more than 30,000 gun-related deaths in the U.S. in the past seven years, one thing is severely apparent: America has a shooting problem. When I sat down to write this column, I realized that I couldn’t name any of the victims of any of these atrocities. I searched and searched my brain for any remembrance of a news story which focused on the victims, and no matter how hard I tried, I came up blank. The sad truth is that, unless one is directly affected by one of these events, the victims tend to usually just fall into a statistic. One thing that I could do, however, was name, or at least picture the face of the various shooters who committed the heinous acts. I remember seeing their faces on the evening news and their biographies on the front page of newspapers. I remember interviews with close friends or relatives of the shooters

on the major news sites. Of course, the solution to this problem, like all large problems, is not simple. I don’t believe the solution is to eliminate guns, to make guns more accessible, to expand mental health treatment or to censor out aspects of culture that glorify violence. Like most people, I think that the solution to America’s gun violence problem is probably a combination of some of these factors. There is no quick fix to this issue. Steps must be taken and implemented gradually and thoughtfully. One thing that can be done by all of us, and done quickly, however, is dissuading the media, especially mass media and social media, from spreading the names, pictures and biographies of these shooters. I understand that it is interesting to learn about how someone could commit such a terrible act, and thus printing stories about the shooters are intriguing by default. But the fact that the stories of the victims are less publicized than the stories of the criminals is extremely disturbing. I believe it is our duty as citizens to eliminate this glorification and infamy from the canon of mass media. In the particular cases of mass shooters, the negatives of shining a light on the offender far outweigh the positives. I’m not saying that the mass media portrays these offenders in a positive way. They don’t. But even if the media are trying to shame the offender, they are, instead, allowing a killer the privilege of fame for taking the lives of

innocent children. Many of these criminals have mailed tapes to news agencies to be played posthumously for the simple reason that they want the attention for what they have done. Someone who commits an act of rash and menacing violence certainly deserves no attention, no matter how well-intentioned the case may be. The fact of the matter is this: If we want to dissuade a future mass murderer from committing an act of grand violence, we must shift the focus of the media. If the stories become more about the tragic atrocities and hardships faced by the victims and their families, perhaps it will inspire some empathy for the future. Perhaps it will cause potential criminals to wonder what it would be like if they were a victim, and thus prevent an event altogether. I’m not calling for all news to focus on the families of the victims, I’m sure some victims’ families don’t want attention and that should absolutely be respected in the highest regard. In the same vein, though, I’m sure some of the families feel the same way that Emmit Till’s mother, Mamie Bradley, felt when her son was brutally and unjustly lynched in 1955. Ms. Bradley wanted everyone to see the injustice dealt to her son via the press. In turn, the shock from that very story arguably brought about large social change. Perhaps if we shifted focus more toward the horrors faced by the victims, the examples will haunt a future mass shooter out of com-

mitting a horrible act that we have seen far too much of. But it would seem that the consistent media focus on the perpetrator immediately following a mass shooting event would do more to influence someone who is unstable in the direction of violence than dissuade them. Perhaps they seek attention and see committing a mass crime as a way to gain that attention. Maybe they want their face to be plastered across the headlines of CNN, MSNBC and Fox. If we continue to give that attention at a national level, we can only expect it to contribute to the problem in a negative way. Instead, the media should focus on what matters. I understand that from an individual perspective, it is interesting to focus on the criminal. I would even go as far as to say that it is human nature to give our focus and blame to one, single figure. We must deny this instinct, though. The perpetrator is not what matters. What matters is the child who will now no longer be able to grow up, the mother who will never get to come home to her family or the naval yard worker who won’t get to see his retirement day. I’m not saying this is a cure-all for mass violence, but it certainly would be a step in the right direction. It won’t stop all mass shootings, but it may make a significant dent, and as Americans, we need as much help as we can possibly get.

Body image issues aren’t gender specific SEHAR SIDDIQUI Opinions columnist

T

he strange thing is we don’t really have a history of males trying to break through any female-dominated barriers. Women broke through the voting barrier in 1920. But women have not broken the glass ceiling of the male-female gap, and they haven’t overcome the extreme body image society has developed for them. Curiously, though, men must face an extreme body image, too, but their voice in the matter is nearly nonexistent. This probably has to do with the fact that women are generally have a larger degree of openness, making them more likely to seek help than the average man. In addition, the nature of the way males and females are brought up could also contribute to whether they seek help for their body image issues. Generally, girls are brought up in an environment that accepts and encourages the discussion of feelings. For boys, it’s not so much that they are told they can’t discuss their feelings, but there is never really any encouragement to do so. As boys get older, they might be told to “suck it up,� or “be a man� if they ever break down. We have said males are supposed to be the “strong� ones: If they happened to have an eating or body image disor-

der, they’d be viewed as weak. According to the American Psychological Association, “men are less likely to seek treatment for eating disorders because of the perception that they are ‘woman’s (sic) diseases.’� This disconnect between males and females produces girls who will more likely approach others with their problems and boys who tend to keep it all inside. No matter how boys or girls express it, there is still the same underlying problem: Body dysmorphic disorder, which is described as a “preoccupation with an imagined or slight defect in appearance� by the National Library of Medicine. For males, this disorder tends to have more to do with obsessive bodybuilding. It may not be extreme starvation or purging, but it is a body image issue, nevertheless. Yet, we still would be more likely to unfairly associate body dysmorphic disorder with women more often than men because body building is seen as “typical� male behavior. Because their behavior is so typical, they might not seek out help — the ideas and expectations of

masculinity we have propagated through popular media show them their behavior is normal, despite the contrary. Society pressures men to go to body building extremes, but on the flip side, they, like women, can be anorexic or bulimic. The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders states on its website: “An estimated 10-15 percent of people with anorexia or bulimia are male.� Eating disorders aren’t just female problems. It seems like we are somehow discriminating against men based on our widespread sexist views of how men and women should look and behave. We are doing a good job creating double standards. With women, we say you can’t be fat, but with men we say they must conform to some overly exercised physique. I also blame this, in part, on the media. How many times have you seen a TV show or movie convey a story about a male with anorexia? Unless you frequent the Lifetime movie channel, I’m sure you haven’t seen many. Especially none with a story line focused on a guy who refused to eat because he wanted to look better.

We are doing a good job creating double standards. With women, we say you can’t be fat, but with men we say they must conform to some overly exercised physique.

How many times have you seen magazine covers sporting pictures of another female celebrity who looks too skinny? Countless. Just the same, you’ve seen countless men plastered on magazine covers with unrealistic depictions of what biceps, pecs and abs need to look like. I’m sure you usually feel a little bit of disgust, shock or maybe even a twinge of sympathy. Still, a male celebrity suffering from bulimia or any kind of body image issue sounds strange. It would be something that we would consider out of the ordinary because of ideas that we’ve constantly been exposed to of men’s roles. There is more stress in the media on the various specifications for a perfect “womanly� body, so it makes more sense for us to have a wider acceptance and understanding of females with these insecurities than men. Look no further than the covers of People Magazine, where it pushes “how to get a swimsuit body like Kate Upton� or the covers of Men’s Health, where it screams “how to get abs like Ryan Reynolds.� Despite what’s widely accepted and what isn’t, we need to realize that anorexia, bulimia and other body image disorders are as serious a problem for men as for women. And although the quantity of men who suffer might not be the same as their female counterparts, the gravity of the sickness isn’t any less.

Sounds of Pygmalion to hit the stage on Thursday BY JULIA MARBACH STAFF WRITER

The Head & The Heart. Major Lazer. Kurt Vile and the Violators. Dawes. The Breeders. Warpaint. If these bands aren’t familiar to you by now, they will be soon. In less than one week, the sounds of indie rock music — with a dash of Electronic Dance Music — will be wafting through Champaign-Urbana, as the 9th annual Pygmalion Music Festival kicks off Thursday, Sept. 26 and ends Saturday, Sept. 28. The bands will perform at a variety of locations in the community and around campus, including Canopy Club, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and the Krannert Art Museum. There will also be two outdoor shows, a Friday night show in downtown Urbana and the traditional all-day Saturday event in downtown Champaign. The festival, which features both national and local indie rock bands, will host more than 60 artists. Although primarily indie rock, the festival will incorporate some EDM in an effort to attract a wider audience. “I think artists like Major Lazer appeal to the campus, and artists like The Breeders appeal to the community, and so, I think it will be a good mix of people,” said Seth Fein, Pygmalion’s founder. Despite the incorporation of EDM, Fein is “adamant ... to maintain that rock music is pretty front and center.“ Stephen Johnson, a local recording artist who has worked with the quartet An Evening With Your Mother, Mille Nomi and The Fights, said he will be attending Pygmalion and is most excited to see The Breeders. “I think that was a phenomenal addition to the lineup,” Johnson said. “I love to see these wellseasoned bands that have put in the mileage and have been around for quite some time and know how to play. ... Although, for the most part, this festival has, to me, become more about seeing the local C-U bands at their peak.” Greg Clow, University alumnus and local promoter/musician, is most looking forward to hearing Potty Mouth. “I like Potty Mouth because of how original they are,” Clow said.“It’s a cool combination of pop punk and post-punk that can be very accessible.” Despite of having to handle eight artist cancellations, the most recent being Foxygen who canceled last week, Fein said he has been hard at work finding replacements and making schedule adjustments. “Being the festival promoter, I always try my best to book the best possible artists,” Fein said. “I don’t just book anyone who’s available. I try to really curate the festival to fit within the confines and

Ultimately, I’m not willing to just replace acts for acts as if they are interchangeable.” Other cancellations were from Chance the Rapper, Perfume Genius, K. Flay, PHOX and Young Empires. Among the replacements are artists Dessa and Rocky Fresh. “I was really excited to see PHOX, along with the Grandkids, back-to-back in a really intimate spot (Memphis on Main),” Johnson said. “The cool thing about Pygmalion is that the organizers always manage to make a better trade. So I am not worried. There is always a really cool replacement.” For the first time this year, the festival will also feature a literature fest and craft fair. Pygmalion Lit Fest, to be held on Friday and Saturday, will feature four readings with over a dozen authors that the University department of English as well as Ninth Letter, its literary magazine, are helping to bring in, Fein said. Featured authors include, Dan Choan, author of “Weird Tales,” and Amelia Gray, author of the novel, “Treats.” “It’s a similar motif (as the Pygmalion Music Festival); it’s just authors instead of bands,” Fein said. The craft fair, which will be called “The Made Fest,” will take place Saturday at the High Dive Outdoor Annex in Champaign, and will feature both handmade and vintage items for sale. “Both (the lit fest and the craft fair) are 100 percent free, open to the public, for everyone to enjoy,” Fein said. With thousands of tickets already sold, and single show tickets for The Head & The Heart sold out, Fein expects 7,500 to 10,000

festival goers over the course of three days, both locals as well as travelers from Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis. And, if the weather is good, Stein predicts the ticket sales will “double, if not triple.” Some tickets for The Head & The Heart will also be available late release, and prices for all tickets increase as the festival dates approach. “Seth has a beautiful thing going on with Pygmalion,” said Liz Faermark, senior in Media who has been both a festival patron as well as employee. “He wants to share it and grow it with his community. And that’s why this fest has continued to grow over the years.” Although the festival itself will not provide food, attendees have the opportunity to try out the various local restaurants in the Champaign-Urbana area, Fein explained. “I feel like we’ve got an amazing restaurant scene in Champaign and Urbana, and the idea is that people come into town and maybe go to Black Dog or Farren’s or Big Grove or wherever they wanted... Part of that is to inspire business for the local restaurants that exist here,” Fein said. While the local restaurants may be taking the reigns when it comes to food, Pygmalion’s sponsors, including Goose Island, Budweiser and Jameson, have the alcohol covered. “(We’ve gotten) a lot of artists that would never dream of routing a tour through here without something like Pygmalion, or the kind of money that I am able to offer as a result of great partnerships,” Stein said.

Second Black Dog location with more seating to open in Champaign next year BY JOLIE HUANG STAFF WRITER

Local barbecue lovers can rejoice for the upcoming addition to the local bar and grill favorites set to open in 2014. Black Dog Smoke & Ale House, a popular local barbecue restaurant, plans to open another location in downtown Champaign. The current Black Dog, located at 201 N. Broadway Ave. in Urbana, was established in 2009 by coowners Mike Cochran and Pedro Heller. “We are opening a new location because we believe that we could use some more seats,” Cochran said. “Both Heller and I hear from people every day that they would come to Black Dog except they can’t or don’t want to wait in line.” The restaurant, named after Cochran’s two black mutts, has gained national acclamation for its barbecued foods and craft brews. Maxim magazine ranked Black Dog second in its “America’s Five Best BBQ Hot Spots” list in May. A frequently sold-out entree that has aided Black Dog’s renowned reputation is its burnt ends, according to the Maxim article. They are made by smoking a whole brisket in a wood fire pit for 12 hours, after which the ends are then cut off, dry rubbed and smoked for another 12 hours, as stated on the Black Dog menu. Karen Marie Byrne, Champaign resident and frequent diner at Black Dog, said, “The burnt ends are only made twice a day so if you are a late arriver for lunch or dinner, they are usually sold out.” Burnt ends — as well as other dishes on the menu such as smoked chicken, pork spareribs and artisan beers — have attracted large crowds. But the current building’s size provides only about three feet of space between the bars and booths. This means large crowds must line up outside to wait for seating, and because they don’t take reservations, it can be difficult for even two people to get in during peak hours. This space constraint for seating, as well as the space constraint

in the kitchen and storage area, is why Black Dog plans to open a second location at the corners of Chestnut and Main streets. “We are not efficient with our workers because we don’t have enough room for them to work,” Cochran said. “The new location will allow us to build a kitchen the way we need it to be.” The highlight of the new location is not only the increase in space, but also the building’s historic significance. It was once a railroad freight station in downtown Champaign, now located across from the Champaign-Urbana Amtrak. “Black Dog is really an offcampus gem for a lot of students here,” said Simone Kaiser, junior in Engineering. “My friends and I heard about it from our other friends, and we go there pretty often now. I think this new opening is going to be great for students on campus because it’s more accessible by bus than the current location.” This new location also means more employees and more seating. There will be approximately 30-50 employees, and the building is expected to seat about 100140 people, compared to the current location which fits about 70. Beyond these changes, everything else about the new restaurant should be relatively static; the menu and the hours will remain the same, Cochran said.

Nonetheless, this opening might take some time. Not only does the new location need serious renovation and new furnishings, but a new foundation must be purchased, too. “The biggest obstacle is the structure itself. It would be easier to build a new building than to use this one,” Cochran said. “We picked the new location because the building has character, history and parking.” Still, hopes are high to have the place open soon. Heller said in a recent NewsGazette article that he “hopes that it’s less than a year before it’s ready to go.” Many patrons are wishing for the same. “Although I love the food of the current Black Dog, I don’t love waiting in line. I know that my friends, family and I are all very excited to see what the new place is going to offer,” Byrne said. While the exact opening date is still unknown, barbecue enthusiasts can look out for a new Black Dog sometime in 2014. According to Cochran, if business continues to keep up at the new location, you may even see the current Black Dog expanded.

he blue-painted trio has performed in urban hot spots across the nation and the world, but Thursday night the Blue Man Group decided to pay a visit to Champaign. As the fi rst show of the State Farm Center’s three-part WCIA3 Broadway Series, the Blue Man Group made a two-performance stop Thursday and Friday night during their U.S. National Tour. The group, established in 1987, performs experimental music mixed with pre-recorded tracks. Although none of the “blue men� speaks throughout the show, they use gestures and body language to display humor and interact with audience members. The performance’s content was not geared toward a certain age group, but rather seemed to target a wide range of ages. The group has long been praised for their visually stunning performances. On Thursday, Champaign citizens, ranging from young children with their families to senior-citizen couples, along with a smaller group of University students, gathered in the State Farm Center’s auditorium. Despite the heat that had seeped into the arena’s interior, chatter fi lled the silence and spirits seemed to be high. Before the show, two digital marquees placed on both sides of the stage displayed scrolling red messages. The source-less messages asked audience members not to “take any selfies� or share “government secrets,� and to please refrain from “sexting your constituency� — an appropriate foreword to the show’s dry humor and high-tech content. The show seemed to be a hybrid of old and new material. The more traditional, well-known Rock Concert Movement tutorial and marshmallow mouth-stuffi ng bits were mixed with the blue men’s introduction to the “GiPad,� a gigantic tablet with

Arguably the most thrilling aspect of the show — the element that seems to have made the organization so relevant and successful for over 25 years — is its use of audience participation. The blue men would step out into the crowd and search for participants, drawing laughs from the audience as members received gifts from the blue men, caught marshmallows thrown into their mouths, and even joined the performers on stage. Handheld cameras were also routinely implemented to zoom-in on crowd members’ faces and to call out “late arrivals.� Even with all the facetious antics and speechless communication, the show was beautifully strung together by the percussion-driven, ambient music that weaved throughout it. Backed by a full-member percussion band perched in a cage above the stage, the blue men would use numerous pipes, drums and other materials to provide a driving, emotional undertone to the night’s performance, easily creating a euphoric atmosphere throughout most of the show. The Blue Man Group mastered the art of winning a crowd over, despite PHOTOS BY BRIAN YU THE DAILY ILLINI having mute performers.

As the Blue Man Group continues their U.S. National Tour until the end of spring, their technology-based analysis of human interaction will continue to hit smaller towns and cities across the continent. The State Farm Center’s WCIA3 Broadway Series will continue with performances of Memphis in October and Mamma Mia in December.

Illini 4-6 entering Big Ten play Volleyball finishes grueling nonconference slate with losses to UNC, Duke BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER

The Illinois volleyball team is fi nding positives in what most would consider a negative weekend. In its fi nal nonconference weekend of the season, the No. 16 Illini (4-6) dropped two matches to No. 15 North Carolina (10-0) and Duke (9-2). “Friday night (against North Carolina) we were not ourselves at all, and Saturday (against Duke) it just wasn’t enough

to get the win,� junior outside hitter Liz McMahon said. “We’re still learning how to play as a unit and we were just inconsistent.� The Illini lost in three sets (25-18, 25-15, 25-17) to a North Carolina team that outplayed them in every aspect. When asked about the match, McMahon said the Illini didn’t do anything well. “The challenge was much more ourselves,� Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly said.

“They’re a good team and I’m not taking anything away from North Carolina, but we didn’t come out ready to attack them and they came out with a fi re in their eyes. They came out ready to come after us and we backed down, which I cant say we’ve done this year. We didn’t perform well, we were never really even in the match.� The Illini came back ready to play Saturday and took the fi rst set from Duke 25-19. From there though, Illinois’ inconsis-

tency showed again as the team dropped the next three sets to the Blue Devils (27-25, 25-18, 25-21). Hambly said the team let the second set slip away, and that the team should have had a 2-0 set lead. “We had opportunities, we just didn’t make plays,� Hambly said. The Illini didn’t see the Duke match as a total loss, as the team battled defensively with

ankings are like the Sudoku puzzles of the sports world. Fans, coaches and players all use rankings to try and make sense of a bunch of numbers that constantly change and supposedly have some magical endgame. It’s true several things go in to picking those numbers. It’s a science, they say. But it’s so complicated that, sometimes, I don’t think the “experts� know what they’re doing — cough, Joe Lunardi . It’s a guessing game. But most of the time, those seemingly arbitrary numbers predict the future. Sometimes national rankings rely on a vote from the people involved, like the coaches poll in NCAA football . The USA Today Sports Board of Coaches — which runs the poll — is made up of 62 head coaches in BCS schools, all of whom belong to the American Football Coaches Association. The 2013 panel includes Illinois’ own Tim Beckman. But football is different from other collegiate sports. A team loses one football game and plummets down the rankings, even if it’s to another top-25 team. Sure, they can make up the ground, but it would take a lot more than winning games

to get back to the top. In the BCS, luck has a lot to do with it. Teams bond when hoping this or that team will lose, evening the playing field. A team goes undefeated in the BCS, and they’re golden, except when they’re overmatched and out of their league in the championship, right Notre Dame? Other sports aren’t as do-or-die. Take the No. 16-ranked Illinois volleyball team, for example. When the last AVCA coaches rankings were last released, Illinois was sitting at 4-4 and is now 4-6 after dropping consecutive matches to North Carolina and Duke this past weekend . It’s likely they’ll remain a fi xture of the top 25. Is this a case where rankings really do reflect things more nuanced than merely the number of wins and losses? Maybe the coaches who participate in this poll realize that of Illinois’ 10 opponents so far, seven are also members of the AVCA top 25. That’s a majority. That’s money. Volleyball rankings seem more comprehensive, more willing to include important aspects of teams that lay just under the surface. It’s like evaluating a team’s RPI in men’s basketball. The Rating Percentage Index is designed to measure strength of schedule and

Hockey sweeps SIUE in weekend matches, Reuden gets 1st career hat trick BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

The Illini hockey team is cruising. Illinois (4-0) accelerated past Southern Illinois University Edwardsville this weekend with a 6-0 win on Friday and a 9-2 victory on Saturday night, capping off a successful home-opening weekend. Cody von Rueden led the Illini offense with his first career hat trick on Saturday night, while his teammates added 12 more goals over the weekend, sweeping the Cougars with a combined score of 15-2. Assistant captain Matt Welch scored two goals on Friday, while Austin Zima, Mario Pacheco, Daniel Kerr and John Olen also slipped goals past Southern Illinois’ freshman goaltender Danny Selby. Olen also added two more goals on Saturday, while Kerr netted another, in addition to Eddie Quagliata and John Scully.

In rematch of last year’s conference title match, Illinois allows late goal to settle for a point, tie against Ohio State BY ALEX ORTIZ STAFF WRITER

Ohio State defeated Illinois 2-1 to win last year’s Big Ten Tournament, so the Illini knew this game would not be easy. In a title rematch that doubled as the conference opener for both teams, the Illini were able to manage a 1-1 draw against the Buckeyes in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday. A quick offensive start and a late defensive lapse resulted in the Illini now standing at 5-2-2 overall and 0-0-1 in the Big Ten. “I think it was a little of the tale of two halves,� head coach Janet Rayfield said, “We were certainly playing the kind of game you wanted to play in the fi rst half. I felt like we kept possession.� The match was fairly even in more ways than the fi nal goal tally. The Buckeyes outshot the Illini 23-18, but Illinois was more efficient with a 12-10 shoton-goal advantage. A physical game had surprisingly no cards shown, but Ohio State committed nine fouls and Illinois had six. All goalkeepers played solidly. Freshman Claire Wheatley saved seven shots for the Illini while senior Lauren Parkin saved two shots. Sophomore Jillian McVicker and senior Rachel Middleman split time in goal for the Buckeyes. McVicker had five saves and Middleman had six.

Ohio State was able to threaten again with a header Wheatley managed to save, but she was fouled hard in the chest area as she dove to save the ball again and was on the ground for several minutes. She would eventually walk off the field mostly under her own power and senior Lauren Parkin would replace her. “I think she’s a little bit bruised, but I think she’s going to be alright,� Rayfield said. Parkin also played solidly, saving two shots and not allowing any more goals. Rayfield said the team played a better overtime than second half, but it was ultimately not enough as the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Even one point against the now 6-1-2 Buckeyes is a challenge for any team to attain. The Illini are not completely dissatisfied with the result, but they are not particularly happy about it either. “A point on the road in the Big Ten is nothing to give back,� Rayfield said. “We’ll take the point and (we’re) frustrated that we didn’t get three points out of it, but it’s a good Ohio State team.�

Browns clinch 31-27 victory over Vikings BY NATE ULRICH MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

BRIAN PETERSON MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Cleveland Browns’s Josh Aubrey celebrates his 34-yard rush after a fake punt in the second quarter against the Minnesota Vikings. The Cleveland Browns defeated the Minnesota Vikings, 31-27, in Minneapolis, Minn., on Sunday.

In the wake of the Trent Richardson trade, the Browns found a spark on offense and upset the Minnesota Vikings 31-27 on Sunday at the Metrodome. With Brian Hoyer taking control at quarterback and wide receiver Josh Gordon back from his twogame suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy, the Browns scored more points than their first two games combined. The Browns (1-2) were shut out in the second half until Hoyer delivered a dagger against the Vikings (0-3) in the clutch. The Browns took control on their own 45-yard line with 3:21 remaining in the fourth quarter, and Hoyer orchestrated an 11-play, 55-yard scoring drive. Hoyer, a St. Ignatius High School graduate making just his second NFL start, capped the march with a 7-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jordan Cameron, who beat the coverage of safety Harrison Smith in the back corner of the end zone. Hoyer replaced Brandon Weeden, who was sidelined with the sprained right thumb he suffered in Week 2. On Tuesday, Chudzinski informed Hoyer that he would start despite entering last week third on the depth chart, one spot behind Jason Campbell, and Chudzinski has not committed to giving Weeden the starting job back once he’s able to play again. After Hoyer threw his gamewinning touchdown pass, the Vikings marched to the Browns’ 34. Strong safety T.J. Ward broke up a jump ball near the goal line with four seconds left, and defensive end Desmond Bryant sacked Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder on the next play to end the game. With his clutch performance, Hoyer made a strong case to remain the starter going forward. However, it wasn’t always pretty for Hoyer. He completed 30-of54 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions. Gordon had 10 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown, and Cameron tallied six catches for 66 yards and three touchdowns. On 2nd and 21 at the Browns’ 5-yard line, Hoyer threw his third interception of the game when Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd hit his right arm as he released the ball. The pass wob-

bled, and linebacker Erin Henderson intercepted it, setting up firstand-goal at the Browns’ 9. The Vikings capitalized on the takeaway when Ponder ran for an 8-yard touchdown on third-andgoal, using a quarterback draw to score for the second time. The Vikings tied the score with 2:36 left in the third quarter. The Vikings then captured a 27-24 lead when kicker Blair Walsh made a 30-yard field goal with 10:47 left in the fourth quarter. Inside linebacker Craig Robertson forced an incompletion on third-and-2 from the Browns’ 12 by hitting Ponder on a blitz. The Browns built a 24-17 halftime lead. With the score tied 14-14, they faked a punt, snapping the ball directly to undrafted rookie safety Josh Aubrey, who served as the upback during the play, and he ran for 37 yards on fourth-and-1 from at the Browns’ 38. The drive then fizzled, but Billy Cundiff made a 38-yard field goal to give the Browns a three-point advantage with 6:07 left in the second quarter. Six plays after Ward intercepted a pass deflected by Robertson, the Browns appeared as if they were settling for another field goal. But punter Spencer Lanning, who was positioned as the holder during the play, caught the snap and threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Cameron with 3:39 left in the first half. The Vikings were caught complete off guard, and Cameron was wide open. The Browns’ defense then held the Vikings to a three-and-out, but Travis Benjamin muffed a punt, caught the ball after it bounced off the turf and then fumbled. Linebacker Larry Dean picked up the ball and ran into the end zone, but the officials ruled that the ball could not be advanced. They then penalized Vikings coach Leslie Frazier 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct because he tried to challenge a play that had already been reviewed by replay official Larry Nemmers. Former NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira, a Fox Sports analyst, said that because of a new rule, the Vikings should have been docked a timeout instead of penalized for trying to challenge the play. The Vikings had first-and-25 at the Browns’ 41 instead of first-and-10 at the Browns’ 26. Three plays later,

they settled for Blair Walsh’s 43-yard field goal that trimmed the Vikings’ deficit to 24-17. Before suffering a left knee injury in the third quarter, Browns outside linebacker Jabaal Sheard preserved the Browns’ sevenpoint halftime lead by strip-sacking Ponder on the final play of the first half. Robertson recovered the fumble, and the turnover negated an interception thrown by Hoyer during the previous series. The Browns won the coin toss but chose to kick off to start the game. Peterson barreled through the defense and into the end zone for 3-yard touchdown to cap an 11-play, 80-yard drive, giving the Vikings a 7-0 lead with 9:13 left in the first quarter. Browns free safety Tashaun Gipson took some lumps during the opening possession. He was caught out of position during Ponder’s completions of 27 and 20 yards to tight end Kyle Rudolph and wide receiver Greg Jennings. On thirdand-1 at the Browns’ 6, Gipson had a chance to tackle Peterson behind the line of scrimmage but missed, allowing Peterson to gain 4 yards and a first down. After going three-and-out during their first possession, the Browns struck back and tied the score 7-7. Gordon beat cornerback A.J. Jefferson with a double move, broke free and caught a 47-yard touchdown from Hoyer with 4:42 left in the opening quarter. The two teams then traded touchdowns before the Browns started using trickery to pull ahead. Cameron beat safety Jamarca Sanford and caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from Hoyer in back corner of end zone with 14:55 left in the second quarter. Ponder ran for a 6-yard touchdown on his first quarterback draw with 6:07 left in the first half. The Browns stunned the NFL on Wednesday by trading Richardson, the third overall pick in last year’s draft, to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a first-round pick in the 2014 draft. As a result, they signed veteran running back Willis McGahee on Thursday. Playing for the first time since Nov. 18, 2012, when he suffered a torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee and fractured his lower right leg as a member of the Denver Broncos, McGahee tallied eight carries for 9 yards.

Braves seal NL East title during win over Cubs BY DAVID O’BRIEN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

CHICAGO — The Braves clinched the NL East title while they were still batting in the sixth inning of their game at Wrigley Field on Sunday, when the Marlins beat the secondplace Nationals in Washington. Julio Teheran had no trouble with Chicago batters for six innings of a 5-2 win in the series finale. He was replaced after throwing 67 strikes in 91 pitches. Andrelton Simmons hit two home runs and league MVP candidate Freddie Freeman had three hits including a tworun homer in the first inning, staking Teheran (13-8) to a lead that he and the bullpen wouldn’t relinquish. Plenty of Braves fans in the crowd of 30,515 cheered when the scoreboard above center field flashed the final score from the Nationals game, knowing that loss meant the Braves had their first division title since 2005. Simmons had a two-out homer in the fourth inning and added a two-run, two-out homer in the eighth, quashing any Cubs hopes of another late-inning rally like the one they had Satur-

day. It was the second multihomer game of the season for Simmons, who has 17 homers in the shortstop’s first full season in the majors.

The Braves (92-63) have only a seven-game homestand remaining in the regular season, and are still trying to win home-field advantage through the National League playoffs by finishing with the league’s best record. They had a onegame lead over St. Louis (9164) before the Cardinals’ Sunday night game at Milwaukee. Jason Heyward, making his second start in three days after missing 30 days with a broken jaw, hit a line-drive single off Edwin Jackson (8-17) to start the Braves’ first inning. Heyward advanced on a wild pitch during Justin Upton’s 10-pitch strikeout, then Freeman crushed the next pitch, a 94-mph fastball, onto Sheffield Avenue. It was Freeman’s fourth home run in 10 games and 23rd of the season, matching the career high he set in 2012. He ranks third in the NL with 105 RBIs and second in the majors with a .431 average with runners in scoring position.

Washington rusher: ‘I’m not missing any time’ BY ADAM JUDE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

A primary goal for Washington in a game like this is to come out of it healthy. And star running back Bishop Sankey insists he is just that despite leaving in the first quarter of Washington’s 56-0 victory over Idaho State with what he’s calling a shoulder bruise. “It’ll be fine,” UW’s junior running back said. “It’s just a little bruise. There’s nothing too serious. I’ll be back. I’m not missing any time.” Sankey finished with four carries for 77 yards and one touchdown against the Bengals, an FCS-level team from the Big Sky. Sankey, who rushed 35 times for a career-high 208 yards a week earlier against Illinois, entered the game leading the nation with an average of 184.5 yards. He said he would’ve been able to “push through” the minor injury if UW wasn’t leading 21-0 in the first quarter. With his 37-yard rush on his first carry, Sankey passed 2,000 yards for his career in his 28th game. Only Hugh McElhenny

(24) and Chris Polk (24) reached the 2,000-yard mark in fewer games. Joe Steele also reached the 2,000-yard mark in his 28th game. Another goal for UW was to limit penalties, after racking up 12 in a victory over Illinois the previous week. It got worse. The Huskies were flagged 16 times against Idaho State for a loss of 130 yards. At least 10 of those were called against the offensive line, and most of those were false starts, drawing some boos from the Husky Stadium crowd. “The penalties were the glaring issue and they need to be rectified,” UW coach Steve Sarkisian said. “And we’ll fix it. We’ve fixed a lot of things in this program over the last five years, and we’ll fix the penalties, believe me.” Sarkisian blamed the falsestart penalties on the “stemming,” or last-second shifts, by Idaho State’s defensive line -- which Sarkisian believes is against the rules. “In my opinion, you’re not allowed to do that,” he said.

Giants shut out by Panthers, fall to 0-3 for 1st time since 1996 BY TOM ROCK MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Antrel Rolle is hardly ever at a loss for words. The Giants safety and defensive captain has never met dead air he couldn’t fill with a phrase or explanation. But it was the simplest question anyone could ask Sunday that caused him to pause. For seven seconds. Without saying a word. What is going on? “Hmm,” Rolle said, as the silence built before answering as bluntly and obviously as the question was asked. “There’s not too much going on right now.” For the third straight time, dating to last season, in what could be reasonably considered a “must-win” game, the Giants fell embarrassingly flat. This time they were spanked by the Panthers, 38-0, to fall to 0-3 for the first time since 1996 and only the 13th time in franchise history. The only other Tom Coughlin-coached NFL team to have such a poor start was the 1995 Jaguars, who lost four straight. “Disappointing is not a strong

enough word,” Coughlin said. “I expected more. We built towards more and, you know, it was just not the competitive game I thought it would be.” Lately, the Giants haven’t had many of those when it counted. If you disregard the Week 17 win over the Eagles last year, when the Giants needed help to make the playoffs but didn’t get it, you have to go back to Dec. 9 against the Saints for the Giants’ last meaningful victory. Since then they have lost five of six games, with those losses coming by a combined score of 182-68. Only one of those defeats was by fewer than 18 points. “Right now we don’t look so much like a team,” Rolle said. “We’re not clicking, we’re not playing football. We’re participating in games instead of going out there and taking over games. There’s a big difference. We have to find a way to get better. “Something has to happen,” Rolle said, repeating the mantra over and over as if he were willing it to come true, “because this is intolerable.”

The game was a total breakdown in every regard. The offense was so ineffective in the first half that its average production per play could be measured in feet rather than yards (2.16 feet per snap, or .72 of a yard for traditionalists). For the game, the Giants were outgained 402 yards to 150. Eli Manning was sacked seven times, the most since 2008 against the Cowboys, including five in the first quarter. And the defense was able to hang with the Panthers (1-2) before Cam Newton began launching passes over the secondary for touchdowns. Even when the Giants managed to do something well, they couldn’t capitalize. Aaron Ross intercepted Newton in Panther territory in the second quarter, and David Wilson appeared to have a 17-yard touchdown run on the ensuing play, but a holding penalty against Will Beatty negated the score. Later, Josh Brown missed a 38-yard fieldgoal try, and the Panthers held onto their 7-0 lead. The Panthers drove 65 yards

on 13 plays to close the first half with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell for a 17-0 lead, then opened the third quarter with a six-play, 80-yard drive capped by a 20-yard TD pass to LaFell. He beat Terrell Thomas on the first, Ross on the second. Manning threw his leagueleading eighth interception three plays later and, by the time Newton was running for a touchdown, pushing linebacker Jacquian Williams into the end zone with him, the Panthers led 31-0. The Giants have had a funny way of coming out for must-win games. Only no one is laughing. “You look at people’s faces and you just see the disbelief, the shock,” Justin Tuck said. Given how the Giants have responded to recent critical games, though, perhaps surprise is not in order. “I thought that we were in a position today to be able to put our best foot forward,” Coughlin said. “But we never gave ourselves a chance competitively to be in the game.”

Notre Dame defense satisfactory

Defensive line at Saturday’s game not perfect but enough for a 17-13 Irish win BY BRIAN HAMILTON CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The first sign this would not be the same Notre Dame defense arrived during pregame warmups Saturday, when it very literally was not the same Notre Dame defense. Three new starters slid into position. It was a predictable consequence of slipshod play over the first three weeks, with returnees looking like impostors when held against the standard set in 2012. More explicitly, it was the consequence of fed-up coaches demanding detail during the practice week, or else. “We didn’t want anyone playing outside themselves, to feel like they had to spark the defense and do something out of their realm,� said linebacker Jarrett Grace, one of those new starters. “We really emphasized that. We drilled down tight. In prac-

tice, if things weren’t done perfectly, if a guy didn’t do his job, we repeated that until it got completed to perfection.� It wasn’t perfect, but the effort in a 17-13 win over Michigan State at least passed satisfactory on the way there: Just 3.6 yards per play allowed, big plays up front, an interception to spark a scoring drive and very few of the glaring, palm-to-forehead errors infesting the unit previously. Winning defense-first remains the Irish’s best plan. It became a viable option for the first time Saturday. So here comes No. 14 Oklahoma, averaging 490.3 yards and 33.7 points per game, and now what? “Who’s going to show up now is really going to be what we’re asking,� Irish coach Brian Kelly said on a Sunday conference call. “Are we going to see the group that showed itself against Michigan State consistently? Or the

group that we saw the last couple weeks, that played hot and cold? We’re going to look for that consistency now from our defense.� First, the raw material for good defense must exist. That could be materializing as well. Grace and Carlo Calabrese appear to be the answers at inside linebacker, solid enough if not game-tilting forces like Manti Te’o. And four games in, defensive end Stephon Tuitt played like a preseason All-American at last, with six tackles and a sack against the Spartans. “He couldn’t cut loose at times,� Kelly said of Tuitt, who had offseason hernia surgery. “In camp, he dealt with strain in same area, where he struggled at times being able to cut loose. He’s feeling great. His volume is up, his reps are up. You could see he’s really starting to come on.� Combine that with starting defensive end Sheldon Day

returning from a sprained ankle and a secondary that didn’t flub assignments — it sniffed out a Michigan State halfback pass and intercepted it, in fact — and there’s a foundation. Sturdy or not. “We came out with the mindset that we were going to dominate each and every play,� cornerback KeiVarae Russell said. Purdue’s middling offense bedeviled Notre Dame. Michigan State’s middling offense didn’t. Oklahoma is something more. Kelly said any player who doesn’t measure up “will stand on the sideline,� so the standard has been reset. Continuing to even approach it probably defines the season. “Guys were making plays (Saturday), and I feel like that’s the biggest thing,� Grace said. “We just have to keep working and let our game flow.�

Phillies name Sandberg permanent manager

Hall-of-Fame 2nd baseman drops ‘interim’ tag, signs on for 3 more years as skipper in Philadelphia BY MANDY HOUSENICK CHICAGO TRIBUNE

PHIL VELASQUEZ CHICAGO TRIBUNE

General manager Ryne Sandberg celebrates a win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Aug. 30.

Ruben Amaro Jr. didn’t have to wait until the end of the season to name his team’s new manager. The Phillies general manager named the man in front of him. Amaro lifted the interim tag from Ryne Sandberg’s title, naming him manager before Sunday’s final home game of the regular season. The team signed Sandberg, 54, to a three-year deal, with a club option for 2017. “In a lot of ways, it’s a dream job, and it’s a dream come true, and it’s a very exciting day for me,� Sandberg said at a Sunday morning news conference, where his hiring was announced. “I’m ecstatic to say the least. I’ve worn a Phillies uniform before, and, in

some ways, it’s full circle for me.� Amaro said he was convinced of the move after watching Sandberg at the helm the past month. “It was very, very clear to me, right from the get-go, that the way he handled the transition during a very, very difficult period and having to take over for an icon of sorts in our Phillies history in Charlie, it was very, very difficult circumstances, and I think he handled it very, very well,� Amaro said. Sandberg was drafted by the Phillies in the 20th round in 1978 and made his major league debut with the club on Sept. 2, 1981. In a trade that still has Phillies fans shaking their heads in disbelief, he and shortstop Larry Bowa were traded that year to

the Chicago Cubs for shortstop Ivan DeJesus. The trade proved pivotal for Sandberg, who went on to have a Hall-of-Fame career with the Cubs as a 10-time All-Star second baseman and nine-time Gold Glove winner. He retired with 282 home runs and 1,061 RBIs, and 10 years later, in 2007, rejoined the baseball ranks on the coaching side. Sandberg spent six years managing in the minor leagues. In 2011, Baseball America magazine named him Minor League manager of the year. In 2010, his first season as skipper of a Triple-A team, he led the Iowa Cubs to an 82-62 record and was named Pacific Coast League manager of the year.

He moved to the Phillies this year as third-base coach and was named interim Phillies manager Aug. 16, replacing long-time manager Charlie Manuel. The Phillies, who had an 18-16 record under Sandberg going into their final home game, are in third place in the National League East and are wrapping up a tough season that saw them losing more games than they won for the first time since 2002. According to The Sports Xchange, Sandberg, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005, is the only Hall-of-Fame player currently managing a major league team. This is his first Major League managerial post. Sandberg called his time in the

minors “totally worthwhile� Sunday, saying he learned valuable managerial lessons there. “I learned a lot, not only about myself and whether I was good at it or liked it, but also to see how it really works from the bottom up,� he said. “I experienced that, and I think that will go a long way in understanding how the minor leagues work, how player-development works, projecting a player.� Sandberg believes the Phillies are off to a solid start for 2014. He pointed to a mix of veteran players such as Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee, with young players such as Cody Asche, Cesar Hernandez, Freddy Galvis and Darin Ruf.

BRAUN is leaned upon heavily when selecting the field of 68 teams for the NCAA tournament in March. Who a team plays is important. Obviously being competitive with top programs is better than skating through the season by demolishing conference bottom-feeders. But the only other team with a similar record to the Illini in the AVCA rankings is Iowa State, which is 6-4 after a win this weekend. Illinois beat the Cyclones handily earlier in the season. How long can Illinois last in the top 25 by continuing to lose to good teams? When is being competitive no longer enough? There’s an important distinction to make. At what point does a team that constantly plays top programs lose that respect? Maybe the schedule is strong, but does that matter if you’re losing three sets to zero, like Illinois did to No. 15 North Carolina? There is a difference between competitive and just plain bad. The Illini don’t seem to be suffering. They may be sitting under .500 right now, but it’s still early in the season, and they obviously have the respect of other programs and the coaches who make up the AVCA poll. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to maintain their top-25 status.

VOLLEYBALL the Blue Devils and showed intensity not seen against North Carolina. “I thought on Saturday especially we didn’t quit at all,” McMahon said. “We played as a team defensively. We were really scrappy defensively and that’s what we pride ourselves on and what we work for. I think the team’s passion was really strong Saturday.” A major bright spot on the weekend for the Illini was the play of junior outside hitter Morganne Criswell, who had 20 kills and 16 digs over the weekend. “She did well,” Hambly said. “She was our leading point scorer against Duke and our go-to player. We know she can score, we needed her to do the other stuff well and she was doing that. She struggled at times blocking, but she passed well enough and she was taking big swings. I think she did a nice job.” Despite dropping to under .500 for the first time this season with the losses, Criswell still feels Illinois is getting better. “I would definitely say we’re moving in the right direction,” Criswell said. “We’re improving with every weekend. I think we’re looking good and I think that we can only go up.” The Illini will open conference play this weekend at home against Iowa and Nebraska. After making it through what was arguably the toughest nonconference schedule Illinois has ever faced, McMahon said Illinois is ready to put the past behind and build on what it has learned so far. “It’s a new weekend and a clean slate,” McMahon said. “We learned a lot in preconference because of the hard teams. I think we’re ready to put those lessons into use and show the Big Ten what we’re made of one match at a time.”

HOCKEY injury scare on Friday when Scully scuffled with the Cougar freshman Blake Varady in front of the Southern Illinois bench. Head coach Nick Fabbrini said the Illini dealt with disciplinary issues last season, which need to be kept in check for the team to succeed this year. “This weekend was a big step in the right direction for us, but I still think we have room for improvement,” Fabbrini said. “We can’t afford to have (discipline) be an issue for us again this year.” Though the level of competition in this weekend’s series against Southern Illinois wasn’t up to par with what the Illini expect to face this season, von Rueden said the team is happy with the way they are playing after the first two weeks. “It’s good to be happy about it, but our schedule is only going to get tougher from the weekends out and everyday we have to be improving,” von Rueden said. “We’re definitely better than this team and we proved it.”

Men’s golf wins Wolf Run tournament by 33 strokes despite Small’s absence BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

In an event without head coach Mike Small, the Illinois men’s golf team didn’t seem notice his absence this weekend at the Wolf Run Intercollegiate. The Illini dominated the field, winning the team event with the top four individual scores in one of the best rounds in school history. The team’s 8-under 844 is the eighth-best score in Illinois history and was 33 strokes better than second place Auburn’s 877. It was the team’s lowest weekend since 2010 and Illinois’ fourth consecutive victory at the Wolf Run event in Zionsville, Ind.

“You don’t see that a lot. I’m not even sure what the largest margin of victory is for the program,” said assistant coach Justin Fetcho, who fulfilled head coaching duties in Small’s absence. “To play against top schools like Auburn and Kentucky and Indiana ... to win by that kind of margin is uncommon. You know that the past two days of golf that these guys played was pretty special.” Fetcho assumed head coaching duties for the weekend while Small was competing in the PGA Cup, a tournament where PGA Professionals from the United States and England compete

against each other, like the Ryder Cup. While the Illini were nearly assured the team championship after the first round of competition — Illinois led by an astounding 15 strokes after the first round and by 25 after 36 holes — there was a stiff competition among teammates for the individual honors. Sophomore Thomas Detry held the lead wire-to-wire for his first collegiate victory, while teammates Brian Campbell, David Kim and Charlie Danielson rounded out the top four. Detry and Campbell were the only two players under par for the tournament, posting

4-under and 1-under, respectively. “You better believe there’s competition going on between these guys,” Fetcho said. “Once we tee it up, we’re all trying to win this tournament individually. But once we make that last putt on 18, we all come together as a team. That’s what’s so great about this team – they understand that concept.” While sophomore Danielson was fourth overall in the tournament, he posted the secondlowest score in the field with a final round 67. He was 5-under on the front nine in the round. Only IUPUI’s Santiago Ruiz posted a lower number with a final

round 65. On the par-71 course, the Illini had just eight individual rounds over par for the event, with Detry posting an impressive 69, 69, 71 scorecard. Fellow Big Ten programs were well off the pace on the leaderboard. Minnesota finished in fourth place, while Indiana and Wisconsin ended up fifth and eighth, respectively. The Illini will have Small back at the helm in two weeks for The Macdonald Cup in New Haven, Conn., on Oct. 5-6.

Michigan has poor showing in 1st half, rallies in 4th quarter to beat UConn, improve to 4-0 BY MARK SNYDER MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Maybe the bye week is enough to forget. To forget how Michigan turned the ball over four times Saturday. To forget the poor decisions, the defensive mistakes and free points surrendered. The passes that were low, high but rarely in the gut or the hands. For the second week in a row, Michigan trailed in the fourth quarter as a heavy favorite and for the second week in a row, they rallied for a win as the defense stood up. Maybe they’ll just whisper this one, but they will still say it aloud, if not too loud: No. 15 Michigan 24, Connecticut 21 on the road at Rentschler Field. The comeback yep, Michigan making a comeback on UConn (0-3) began with the Wolverines (4-0) trailing, 21-7, early in the third quarter. They were in the hole because quarterback Devin Gardner had just committed his third turnover, this one a “fumble-six.” So he knew it was on him to lead. First, there was the 75-yard march. Though most of the movement was methodical, the big play showed up when Gardner audibled into a read option on UConn’s 35-yard line. Unlike last week, this time he pitched to Fitz Toussaint on the right side, and Toussaint cut it back left, all the way for the touchdown, closing the gap to 21-14. But when they got in striking distance early in the fourth quarter, Gardner tried to run left on fourth-and-2, and fumbled. When he recovered, he was short of the conversion. It appeared crushing. Then the defense made its play, saving the game and potentially a horror show. In the middle of the field, linebacker Desmond Morgan made a spectacular one-handed interception, giving the offense a short field, which Toussaint turned into a 12-yard touchdown, tying the game at 21. From there it was easy. A three-and-

In the end, the defense closed it out, not allowing a touchdown after halftime. All that was necessary after U-M came out of the locker room limping. Just about everything but the U-M offense was offensive in the first half. Gardner threw two interceptions, spent most of the half spinning backward and took two sacks. Despite rushing for 68 yards and U-M’s lone first-half touch-
