Emanuel encourages students to work in city BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER
CLAIRE EVERETT THE DAILY ILLINI
Hailey Olson, 11, puts a saddle on her 18-year-old horse, Boots, in her family's stable. They own and board horses and have not had to give any away due to the rise in hay prices from this summer's drought.
Increase in hay prices from this summer’s drought forces farmers to let go of horses BY CLAIRE EVERETT STAFF WRITER
This summer’s drought has caused yet another crisis: Horse owners are giving up their horses because of the extreme increase in hay prices. Kelsie Vaile, sophomore in ACES, has a family hay farm in Amboy, Ill. She said the average horse consumes half a bale of hay a day, which used to cost between $2.50 and $3 per bale. Now, she said horse owners are paying between $7 and $10 per bale. Vaile said her family used to get about 300 bales out of their 9-acre field every time they cut it. But after the drought, they only got 87 bales in their cutting this week. “People can’t spend all that mon-
ey on hay when they have other animals to feed,” Vaile said. “We usually have a lot of hay to sell to people and make money to feed our horses (and) other things, but this year, because the hay has been so terrible, we’ve had to get rid of a couple of our horses.” Sarah Everson, freshman in LAS, had to give up one of her two horses because her family couldn’t afford hay. “It’s heartbreaking,” she said. “The timing was tough on my parents’ jobs, but it was getting to the point where both horses were eating through the hay so fast, we couldn’t keep up with them.” Everson said there would be times when her horses wouldn’t have hay for a couple of months because her
family couldn’t afford it. She said her family still owes money to a nearby hay farmer. Katrina Olson, visiting lecturer at the University, is a horse owner and boards horses as well. Olson’s family buys hay from a hay farmer in northern Champaign, who said prices will start to come down because of the rain from Hurricane Isaac. Olson said other economic considerations may drive farmers away from keeping horses. “More than the cost of hay, I think it’s all the maintenance that goes into the care of a horse,” Olson said. “Hay is certainly a big factor. Especially as we get into winter, and the prices go up again.” The Society for Hooved Animals’ Rescue and Emergencyis a nonprofit
humane society in the Champaign area. Linda Hewerdine, founder and director of the rescue agency, said they receive two or three calls a week from people wanting to give up their horses because they are too expensive to feed. But because the society has 64 horses from Illinois Department of Agriculture investigations, the organization isn’t taking donated horses at this time. “I believe most of it is because of the economy. The horses we have taken in this summer have been starved all summer,” Hewerdine said. “We’re too full to take the other animals from people. They’re going to have to solve their own problem.”

Engineering and computer science students are building up the training they need in Champaign-Urbana. But too often, they’re zipping off to cities outside of Illinois, at least according to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. But to encourage them to stay closer to their alma mater, Emanuel came to the University’s National Center for Supercomputing Applications on Tuesday. “There are the entrepreneurs, money, culture and the quality of life that is ready to happen (in Chicago),” he said. “We have to collectively close the 140-mile distance between us, and we have to be next-door neighbors.” Emanuel and tech company representatives such as Brad Keywell, co-founder of Groupon ; Eric Lunt, chief technology officer of FeedBurner and BrightTag ; and Mike Evans, co-founder of Grubhub, made up a panel during the talentrecruiting event “Chicago After Hours,” hosted by World Business Chicago. Panel members shared their experiences working in Chicago and encouraged students to start a business in the city. “If there is one thing we need more of, we need you guys to spend time in Chicago,” Keywell said. “What we are missing is this right connection between Champaign and Chicago, and that’s why we’re here.” Attendees asked panel members about various subjects, including why students should choose

Chaz Bono discusses issues with his gender identity, male-to-female transition BY JESSICA AHN STAFF WRITER
LGBT and transgender advocate Chaz Bono took his audience through his journey of self-discovery Tuesday at the Illini Union. Sponsored by the Illini Union Board and the LGBT Committee, “An Evening with Chaz Bono, Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man” brought Bono to campus to give audience members an idea of what it means to be a transgendered person. Leslie Morrow, director of the LGBT Resource Center, said she hoped the talk would have “people walk away with a better understanding of his story and exposure to what it means to be gender nonconforming and gender non-normative.” “He’s here simply to tell his story and to talk about his challenges and opportunities that he’s had a chance to experience and be exposed to.” University staff, students and other community members lined the hallways of the Union in anticipation of Bono’s presentation. “Our goal is to reach out to everyone and hear his story,” said Tolu Taiwo, president of the Illini Union Board and Illini Media employee. “I think it’s really cool that we can get everybody on campus to come and hear what he has
INSIDE
to say because he is an individual with a unique story.” Bono said his journey began around age 4, when he became aware that there was something different about himself. He said his choice in friends, activities and interests aligned with those of a young boy rather than a young girl. He said he felt “uncomfortable all the time and started to detach from my body and live my life inside my head.” After years of struggling with his identity, Bono began hormone therapy. “It felt like something my body has always been needing,” Bono said. “It helped me come down from my head and live in my body for the fi rst time in a long time.” Bono said he later underwent top surgery, which made his chest appear more masculine. He referred to the surgery as “a big piece of the puzzle of my life.” “After that, I started really feeling like me and liking myself when I looked in the mirror,” he said. “My life really started when I transitioned.” Bono ended the evening by telling the audience to “take the risk to be yourself, whoever yourself is” and said “a life fi lled with secrets is not a life at all.”

NYPD uses social media to halt gang wars BY TOM HAYS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Police investigating two gangs called the Very Crispy Gangsters and the Rockstarz didn’t need to spend all their time pounding the pavement for leads. Instead, they fired up their computers and followed the trash talk on Facebook. “Rockstarz up 3-0,” one suspect boasted — a reference to the body count from a bloody turf war between the Brooklyn gangs that ultimately resulted in 49 arrests last month. Authorities in New York say a new generation of gang members is increasingly using social media to boast of their exploits and issue taunts and challenges that result in violence. And police and prosecutors have responded over the past several years by closely monitoring Facebook and other sites for leads and evidence. On Tuesday, New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly announced plans to beef up the NYPD’s cyber crack-
down by expanding the use of aggressive online investigative tactics and doubling the size of the department’s gang unit to 300 investigators. The reinforcements will focus less on established gangs like the Bloods and Crips and more on loosely knit groups of teenagers who stake out a certain block or section of a housing project as their turf and exact vengeance on those who trespass or fail to show the proper respect. “By capitalizing on the irresistible urge of these suspects to brag about their murderous exploits on Facebook, detectives used social media to draw a virtual map of their criminal activity over the last three years,” the commissioner said in remarks prepared for delivery at a law enforcement convention in San Diego. Examples of the public displays of digital bravado abound. In the Brooklyn case, suspects sought to intimidate informants by posting court documents containing their names, authorities said.

At least 20 passengers injured in California Amtrak derailment BY GOSIA WOZNIACKA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HANFORD, Calif. — Two cars and the locomotive of an Amtrak train carrying about 169 passengers derailed Monday after colliding with a big rig truck in California’s Central Valley, authorities said. At least 20 passengers suffered minor to moderate injuries, authorities said. The 12:25 p.m. crash occurred when the driver of the tractortrailer carrying cotton trash failed to yield and hit the train, authorities said. The impact pushed the two passenger cars and the locomotive off the tracks south of Hanford, a farming town. The train traveled about 600
feet after the collision before hitting a switchback and derailing, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Scott Harris. Officials have not determined how fast the train or the truck were going, but the average speed for Amtrak through the area is 70 to 80 mph, while the speed limit on the roadway where the truck was traveling is 55 mph, Harris said. After the crash, metal pieces from the truck could be seen inside the train, which was covered by cotton seeds. Several pieces of luggage were also scattered around the area. Kings County Assistant Sheriff Dave Putnam described the injuries to passengers as bumps, bruises, scrapes and possibly broken bones.
The crash occurred at a crossing that was equipped with gates to stop traffic, Putnam said. Eight of the injured passengers were taken to Adventist Medical Center in Hanford and five more were expected, said hospital spokeswoman Christine Pickering. She did not provide details on the extent of their injuries. “We did call in additional physicians and staff,” Pickering said. Four additional injured passengers were taken to nearby Adventist Medical Center in Selma, while seven people were taken to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, officials said. The train was on its way from Oakland to Bakersfield, according to Amtrak. It had four rail cars and a locomotive.
SAN DIEGO — The U.S. government began flying Mexican deportees home on Tuesday in a two-month experiment aimed at relieving Mexican border cities overwhelmed with people ordered to leave the United States. The fl ights will run twice a week from El Paso, Texas, to Mexico City until Nov. 29, at which time both governments will evaluate the results and decide whether to continue. The first flight left Tuesday with 131 Mexicans aboard. The flights are not voluntary, unlike a previous effort from 2004 to 2011 to deport Mexicans arrested by the Border Patrol during Arizona’s deadly summer heat. The U.S. government will pay for the flights, and the Mexican government will pay to return people from Mexico City to their hometowns, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a news release. ICE spokeswoman Nicole Navas said Mexicans from that

Stephanie Larson , program coordinator for the Technology Entrepreneur Center, said this was a good chance for students to talk closely with authority figures of different companies. “I think it’s a great way for
country’s northern border states will not be eligible. The experiment comes as Mexican cities along the U.S. border are grappling with large numbers of deportees who have no roots, few employment prospects and sometimes limited Spanish. Many are deported to cities that are among the hardest hit by organized crime in Mexico, particularly across the border from Texas in the state of Tamaulipas. “The newly repatriated, often with no means to return home, are susceptible to becoming part of criminal organizations as a means of survival,” Gustavo Mohar, Mexico’s interior undersecretary for population, migration and religious affairs, said in a statement released by ICE. ICE Director John Morton said the flights “will better ensure that individuals repatriated to Mexico are removed in circumstances that are safe and controlled.” ICE, which is managing the flights, said passengers will include Mexicans with criminal convictions in the United States and those who don’t have any.
They will be taken from throughout the United States to a processing center in Chaparral, N.M., before being put on flights at El Paso International Airport. President Barack Obama’s administration has made migrants with criminal convictions a top priority among the roughly 400,000 people of all nationalities who are deported each year. The Department of Homeland Security said nearly half of the 293,966 Mexicans deported in its last fiscal year had criminal convictions in the United States. The policy has fueled concern in Mexican cities along the U.S. border that deportees are being victimized, turn to petty crime or are recruited by criminal gangs. In February, Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Mexican Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire announced plans for a pilot program to begin April 1 but negotiations delayed the start until Tuesday. The Border Patrol will not participate in the experiment, which is called the Interior Repatriation Initiative, Navas said.

After the panel discussion, students had a chance to meet representatives from more than 40 Chicago companies. They could also network and seek job opportunities at the Thomas M. Siebel Center for Computer Science. Google, Redbox, Boeing and other companies had booths set
up for students in career-fair style. Shugo Tanaka , junior in Engineering, said these discussions differed from typical engineering career fairs. “It seems really kind of lowkey, but there are a lot of amazing companies around here, so its been great to have a casual conversation with them,” Tanaka said.

Hold off on cyclist crackdown until proper infrastructure established in C-U
C
ampus and the cities of Champaign and Urbana have encouraged more people to commute to class and work using a bicycle instead of driving a car. In theory, biking helps residents spend less on gas, promotes a healthier lifestyle and eliminates carbon emissions. Putting that into practice has been a challenge: Bikers are unwelcome by pedestrians on sidewalks and pose a driving hazard to motorists on some roads. Although both Urbana and Champaign have committed to making the cities more bike friendly, the speed with which these plans need to be exacted is all the more apparent with the University Police Department’s announcement that they will increase biking-law enforcement. University police Capt. Skip Frost asked Champaign’s and Urbana’s police departments to help campus police’s efforts. As it stands, the campus’s accommodations for cyclists do not work as it should. Bikers use sidewalks on streets when there are no clear bike paths and the streets are too narrow for cars to safely pass, like on Green Street between Wright and Fourth. Ideally, the middle turn lane would be used for safe passing, but during congested traffic hours, the lane is inaccessible. While a cyclist has as much right to use of public streets as a motor vehicle, drivers don’t respect this, pushing cyclists to the sidewalk for fear of accidents on the road. On the sidewalks, pedestrians have the right of way, and often pedestrians fear collisions with fast-moving cyclists. Bike paths around campus serve to remove cyclists from sidewalks, but they are not used either. Frequently, bike paths provide no direct route to popular locations, or the paths themselves can only accommodate a relatively small number of bikes at a time. This unaccommodating biking infrastructure has caused cyclists to become a sort of hybrid motorist-pedestrian in which cyclists try to make the best of the conditions they are given, using roads, bike paths and sidewalks when they are most convenient. This hybridization runs counter to the law that the campus police department wants to more vigilantly enforce. Frost wants cyclists to be treated more like motorists as current law classifies them, but no amount of law enforcement or tickets, warnings or citations issued will solve the problem. These problems are by no means recent developments, and arbitrarily deciding to enforce laws that have collected dust over the years is now impractical. Champaign-Urbana does offer several educational resources to teach residents and students the rules of the road, but no matter how many cyclists, motorists or pedestrians learned the rules, the problems have continued. Normally, vigilance in law enforcement would help send a message to the community that current practices are not to be tolerated, but the issue is not just a lack of knowledge on current law. It’s also cyclists not being able to comfortably and safely abide by the current ordinances. Once a proper biking infrastructure has been achieved, law enforcement can be more vigilant, thus providing safe roads and sidewalks for pedestrians, motorists and bikers alike.

values in virtues is different from person to person. While one may not like the money the government gives to groups like Planned Parenthood, another may not like the tax dollars spent on corporate welfare. So why are we still spending this money? Why can’t we cut both programs and give the savings back to the individuals and allow them to choose what they value more? Maybe we don’t say anything because we feel guilty. What if we make individual choices and make a wrong decision? There’s only one person to blame when our own good intentions fail us. We feel like we don’t have the power to make a change when others aren’t supporting us, and we know we ought to be able to. We begin to rely upon the ever-ready-to-serve government to address the areas where we feel we cannot make a difference but where we feel we should try to help. Maybe it’s because we already accept the government’s role as the nation’s provider of charity. If smoke’s pouring into the room, there are other people who can take care of that problem for us. No need to worry about the homeless, the government has a program for that. The federal bureaucracy provides me no incentive to help out someone in need — I already do that through taxes. Society’s goals are noble. The virtues that are sought after are inherently good and decent proposals. But at what cost? Is each of us willing to make a personal decision to embrace the vices of apathy and irresponsibility, and abandon the virtues of our individuality to further the goals of this, our common society?
t he last few decades, an endless flow of technological innovations have changed the lives of everyone. The way we create, consume and share information has been transformed forever. This is not new information as a growing chorus of people have spent the last few years saying things like “print is dead” or “paper will soon cease to exist.” These statements, although slightly dramatic, are not entirely inaccurate. Newspaper circulation continues to decline, eBook sales continue to rise and a general view that the world is now digital has started to sink in. Again, this sentiment is hyperbolic but not entirely without merit. In fact, I am writing this column from the comfort of my bedroom, pecking away at the keyboard of my beloved MacBook Pro. If it were 1975, I would be hunched over at the kitchen table, meticulously constructing this opinion on a heavy typewriter stocked with paper. Though it may not be the 1970s or even the first decade of the 21st century anymore, I still appreciate the magic of paper. When I say “the magic of paper,” I don’t mean the fact that the average worker in the United States prints an average of 10,000 pages per year or that the United States uses 71 million tons of paper each year. That is wasteful and unnecessary. Instead, I mean the simple joys that even minimal paper use can bring. First, there is the paper planner. To many of us on campus, planners are known as iBooks. By name, it sounds like an electronic device used for reading text books, but it is much simpler. It is the place to jot down homework and meeting times or, if you’re like me, the place to doodle during a dry lecture. There is nothing like opening a fresh planner in the fall — something that Apple’s iCal and Google Calendars can never compete with. Next paper pleasure? Lists. Whether it is a grocery list, a weekend to-do list or a lifetime bucket list, the paper list is a beautiful thing. All you need is one sheet of paper to remind you of what need to do today or inspire you to do the things you want to do before dying. More importantly, when an item on the list is accomplished, you get the satisfaction of crossing it off. Deleting an item from a digital to-do list is not the same and leaves you with the daunting visual of items that remain incomplete. My personal favorite are thank you notes. There is nothing wrong with sending someone a nice email thanking them for something. It shows the recipient you appreciate their effort but will instantly become buried in their inbox by important business emails or annoying spam emails from J. Crew, Barnes & Noble or eBay. A handwritten thank you, on the other hand, is the key to a person’s heart. It has the ability to make an emotional connection with its reader and will likely sit on their desk or fridge for a while, serving as a constant reminder of why you are so great. Last, but certainly not least, is money. It is gold in paper form, and let’s face it: Is there anything more satisfying than finding a crumpled up five-dollar bill in your winter coat or getting a crisp twenty from your grandparents? It’s a tangible increase in your net worth that feels just as good as it did when your neighbor generously paid you a $1 for a $0.25 cup of lemonade. Direct deposit may be the new normal for compensation, but logging into an online bank account on pay day will never beat cashing that paper check. If those basic uses for paper don’t impress you, also realize that paper has been a major figure in the past and present of this country. Think about it, the United States could potentially not exist if it weren’t for that little scroll called the Constitution. It was on this document that our Founding Fathers laid the groundwork for our journey towards a “more perfect union,” a mission that continues to this day. Sending a thank you note to a future boss or doodling in class might sound like bizarre things to be happy about, but that is why they are special. iPads and other tablets may be “game-changers” in the tech world, but they are changing the game that paper invented.

Citizens affected by leaders’ health NORA IBRAHIM Opinions columnist
W
hen Gabrielle Giffords was discovered to be among the victims of the fatal Tucson shooting in 2011, the media followed her relentlessly. We watched her functionality progress and prayed for her cognitive and motor skills to improve because not only was she the face of the outcomes of the shooting, she was also a blossoming politician in a struggle to get back on her feet. She was a high-profile Democrat involved in a high-profile news event, suffering from a high-profile medical case. But when the public official’s medical history is far from high-profile — not even necessarily remarkable — it becomes a fuzzy, gray matter if the public has the right to be informed. In Venezuela, incumbent presidential candidate Hugo Chavez dances, sings and attempts to cast his history of cancer aside from the public eye to win a third term this Sunday. Since he was diagnosed with cancer last year, he has sought treatment in Cuba — then announced in July that he had been “cured” of that cancer. But he refused to release his medical records for the Venezuelan people during his campaign. A 180-degree opposite to Chavez is Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, who has allowed for his medical records to be made public and announced this week that he will undergo surgery for his prostate cancer Wednesday.
An individual’s medical condition is an incredibly private matter, especially when life-changing events like cancer threaten your health. But if such a condition deteriorates and, subsequently, takes out a politician from properly addressing his or her role to the people, isn’t it a part of his duty to make the public aware? All over the world, there seems to be a recurring example of top officials “refusing” their citizens the right to know about the productivity of their government — and those individuals’ health statuses are a part of that. Over the summer, the death of the former Ghanaian president shocked the nation’s people as no one was even cognizant that he was battling throat cancer, according to a report by The Post Newspapers, a leading news source in Zambia. Those who had heard of his untimely death found out via foreign media outlets — which is like finding out from your Facebook newsfeed that Grandpa died. America is no exception. Notable examples of presidents that have fallen ill during their terms include Woodrow Wilson (who suffered from a stroke during his second term, making him unfit to fill his role during his last two years), Franklin Roosevelt (who was nearly dying when he ran for his fourth term and was confined to a wheelchair, though the media never showed this) and even John F. Kennedy (who became America’s youngest president ever elected but suffered from severe pain, due to Addison’s disease, quickly deteriorating bone condition and adrenal dysfunction). All hid their health failures from the public, especially when they were in the midst of a campaigning season.
The reasons behind not disclosing their medical condition are understandable, though: No one wants to throw a pity party for themselves; your candidacy gets thrown into question, even if you have a nondisruptive condition; and illnesses scare off people. When then-71-year-old Sen. John McCain was running for the presidency in 2008, one of the Democrats’ attacking points was his health and age — that he couldn’t fulfill his duties as president because he was just too gosh-dang old. McCain had to quell these claims by releasing a statement by his internist about his excellent health. Even through the campaign, it was hard for McCain to overcome worries about his health — much like how Obama had to dispel Birthers’ theories. But if questions come up about a leader’s continued absence from the political scene, questions need to be raised. Unlike any other citizen’s private medical issues, politicians’ issues will affect the progress that needs to be made in their governing role. Transparency in discussing their effectiveness as leaders includes discussing their physical ability to lead. Let us take the leadership styles of Venezuelan and Colombian presidents Chavez and Santos as examples of how politicians’ policies on being open about themselves will impact their citizens’ satisfaction with their governing bodies. There might be no code as to if the world’s politicians should publicize each medical case, but their decision to disclose or remain closed should keep in mind the peoples they represent.

Individuals duty to society depleting DYLAN HOYER Opinions columnist
We,
as individuals and human beings, love to help one another. There is nothing we truly enjoy more than being able to lift up a fellow brother or sister out of their troubles. And those who work for a living spend a large chunk of their time providing for the well-being of those who can’t, or don’t or won’t. But how many of us would stop on the street to give direct assistance to a person in need? Would we even slow down? The sad truth is that many of us would not. As much as we like to assume that we are virtuous do-gooders, many people just don’t do any good. This disturbing thought has been demonstrated in numerous and many social experiments throughout the last half of the 20th century. This “bystander effect” that allows us to evade any obligation to help comes from what social psychologists call a diffusion of responsibility. It is so much easier to go with the flow than disturb the status quo. Does this mean we aren’t a good people? It is clear that Americans value highly the well-being of others. And the theme of societal progress and social welfare is a popular one — one worthy of a presidential campaign. So where is the disconnect between public virtues and private accountability? It all stems from the diffusion of responsibility. What psychologists found in their studies was that when a larger number of participants witnessed an incident worthy of assis-
tance, such as smoke beginning to fill the testing room of the study, those involved were less likely to take charge and help or even seem alarmed. Incidentally, the responsibility to help was divided by a greater and greater number of people, and responsibility per person grew smaller and smaller. The decision to help gradually became the decision of the group, and the silent moral concern of one, or a few, or even all was outvoted by the silent will of the majority in the democratic process. When society is confronted by a problem, it looks inward at itself and sees infinite avenues of blame if anything goes wrong. When individuals meet problems, they look inward at themselves and become directly accountable. In this way, the power of the individual to provide solutions is always more than the abilities of society or the government. The vice of our society’s values is this — what individuals can and are better apt to do — the government has taken over. The well-faring and betterment of others has come under the giant umbrella that is the federal bureaucracy. The government, instead of its people is now the lender of first resort. Why should I give more to charities or socially beneficial organizations if the government already does that for me? In the government dictating what the virtues of society are from the top-down, the responsibility of the individual to act in times of need is greatly diminished by the spreading out of this obligation to all (taxpaying) members of our society. But isn’t the whole of our giving through taxes greater than the sum of our individual charitable gifts? Not quite. What each individual

PORTRAIT BY PRITEN VORA THE DAILY ILLINI
FROM PAGE 6A For many students, the idea of finishing all of their coursework before Thanksgiving break sounds like a complete nightmare. However, Christine is determined and up for the challenge. “I guess particularly for me — because I want to stay on top of my class work and eventually get ahead in my class work when the baby comes — I can’t slack off or fall behind,” Herman said. “In some ways, I’m glad I have the extra incentive to stay on top of things.” Currently, there is no official University policy regarding coursework completion for pregnant graduate students who will give birth in the middle of the semester. Therefore, it’s up to the student and the professor to come up with some sort of agreement in regards to completing coursework. Thankfully, Herman was able to come up with an agreement with each professor that will allow her to take an incomplete for the semester if she can’t finish her work before Thanksgiving break. Then, she can complete the coursework at a later time and receive her final grade upon completion. Herman explained that stu-
dents haven’t treated her any differently because of her now obvious pregnancy. Instead, many are just curious about her due date, the sex of the baby and what he will be named. In general, Herman has been treated well by the people she has encountered on campus during her pregnancy. “People are really nice to you when they see that you’re pregnant,” Herman said. “They’ll hold doors for you, they’ll let you go ahead of them in line or things like that.” However, that doesn’t mean that Herman hasn’t faced some challenges with being a full-time student and a pregnant woman at the same time. Even after her morning sickness ended, Herman still deals with some discomfort while in the classroom and at home. “Before I was pregnant, I could get through the day with just snacks or grab something here or there,” Herman said. “If I was hungry, I could just wait until I got home to eat, but being pregnant, one of the worst feelings is being hungry.” Herman also feels much more tired than she ever has before. This makes it difficult to concentrate during class and while doing homework. To combat both her hunger and tiredness, Herman makes sure to plan ahead by bringing meals
with her to class and getting a full night of sleep. Rather than stressing about balancing school and her pregnancy, Herman feels as though she’s lucky to only be worrying about class work. “There were many times during the summer that I thought if I had an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. job, there’s no way I’d be able to keep it,” Herman said. “I’ve definitely earned a lot of respect for women who keep a regular job during their pregnancy.” Once the baby is born, Herman and her husband will get help from both of their mothers in taking care of the newborn. The baby’s due date is approaching quickly and Herman can’t wait, she said. “Feeling him move around all day has just really made me excited to meet him,” Herman said. “It makes me wonder what he’s going to be like, what’s he going to look like, what his personality will be like. ” Herman is an example of a person who is able to continue pursuing her career dreams through education while also pursing her dream of a family. It may be difficult at times for Herman, but becoming a mother was something she just couldn’t pass up.

As women sometimes react negatively to advertisements that objectify females, a new study has found that men might also have negative feelings toward ads with the “ideal” male as the star. Cele Otnes, professor of advertising and business administration, conducted research on the reactions men have to advertisements geared toward them. The study found that men who compare themselves to the characters in advertisements often have feelings of inadequacy or vulnerability. Many advertisements use stereotypes, which can easily turn people off if they do not identify with the certain typecast. Jameson Hayes, visiting assistant professor of advertising, said that advertisements are made for large groups of people, so not everyone will identify with the actor in the ad, but the majority should. “Stereotypes in themselves are benign. We stereotype all the time; it is how we simplify our world,” Hayes said. “It is how they are used that can be particularly bad.” In recent years, more realistic models have been used in women’s advertisements to
break down some of the negative stereotypes of the stick thin girl, such as in Dove’s commercials, which are geared for the “everyday” woman. Some ads are calling for more realistic male models as well to help receive a more positive reaction. “There was a big push for plus-sized models being featured for women. There needs to be the same thing for men — more average, realistic looking guys that you would see everyday,” said Amanda Alongi, junior in Media. “Not everyone is a body builder or handsome ... This could help so that men didn’t have the pressure to look just like (the advertisements) because he is an everyday guy.” Some think using the average Joe in advertisements would fail. Hayes said that using a regular guy leaves nothing to aspire to. Seeing someone who looks exactly like everyone else won’t make you want to buy the product. Nikki Falk, senior in LAS who is majoring in gender and women’s studies, said that some of the negativity toward male advertisements could be stemming from the lack of them breaking outside of a certain shell. “What I think is problematic is
DOONESBURY
COQUILLE, Ore. — Oregon authorities are investigating how a farmer was eaten by his hogs. Terry Vance Garner, 69, never returned after he set out to feed his animals last Wednesday on his farm near the Oregon coast, the Coos County district attorney said Monday. A family member found Garner’s dentures and pieces of his body in the hog enclosure several hours later, but most of his remains had been consumed, District Attorney Paul Frasier said. Several of the hogs weighed 700 pounds or more. It’s possible Garner had a medical emergency, such as a heart attack, or was knocked over by the animals, then killed and eaten, Frasier said, adding that at least one hog had previously bitten Garner. The possibility of foul play is
being investigated as well. “For all we know, it was a horrific accident, but it’s so doggone weird that we have to look at all possibilities,” Frasier told The Register-Guard. A pathologist was unable to identify a cause or manner of death, the newspaper reported. The remains will be examined by a forensic anthropologist at the University of Oregon. Terry Garner was “a goodhearted guy” who cared for several huge adult sows and a boar named Teddy, said his brother, Michael Garner, 75, of Myrtle Point. Piglets were typically sold to local 4-H kids. “Those animals were his life,” Michael Garner said. “He had all kinds of birds, and turkeys that ran all over the place. Everybody knew him.” Michael Garner said one of

that advertisements are all very heterosexist,” Falk said. “All of them are targeted toward heterosexual couples ... I can’t think of seeing one homosexual couple of any kind in the media, so making that more visible in the media would be a good thing.” Stepping away from Photoshop could also help. When an advertisement has a doctored photo of a man who is nearly flawless, it shows the public that no one can reach the peak of perfection. “When advertisements are Photoshopped, it holds guys up to a standard that no one can even meet. It can make them feel very pressured,” Alongi said. Making an advertisement for one person is easy, but ad companies have to make it for a large, blanket group. This is where the problem lies. Not everyone is going to agree with an advertisement or identify with it, especially if it isn’t made for his or her demographic. To help solve this problem, Falk said that perhaps there should be many different diverse ads so that everyone can relate to one.

the large sows bit his brother last year when he accidentally stepped on a piglet. “He said he was going to kill it, but when I asked him about it later, he said he had changed his mind,” the brother said. Domestic hogs are not typically known to be as aggressive as their feral cousins, but “there is some degree of danger associated with any animal,” John Killefer, who heads the Animal and Rangeland Sciences Department at Oregon State University in Corvallis, told the newspaper. While pigs “are more omnivorous than other farm animals, (such as) cows,” Killefer called the case highly unusual. Most hogs are raised until they reach a market weight of between 250 and 300 pounds, while breeding female pigs rarely weigh more than 400 pounds, Killefer said.

Though I wouldn’t go as far as calling Anchorman a “classic,” the Channel 4 News Team certainly left its mark with Sex Panther Cologne and matching puppy pajamas. Ron Burgundy’s undeniable style gives students great inspiration for a simple Halloween outfit. Ron is seen wearing a blazer, most notably maroon, with a white shirt and paisley tie. Khakis and brown shoes finish off the outfit. These items can be found in most students’ wardrobes with the exception of a maroon blazer, which can usually be spotted at one’s local Salvation Army. Students are required to memorize Anchorman quotes prior to the 31st, and have the option of carrying a flute or small puppy for effect.
TLC recently slapped quality TV in the face and brought the public Alana Thompson, who stars in “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” and was originally spotted in “Toddlers & Tiaras.” This pudgy, blonde firecracker brings students a unique mixture of glamour and hillbilly. Does it sparkle? Does it shine? Put it on and a top it off with a tiara. Tutus are welcome, though wearers should lack any trophies or sashes due to her lack of success in the pageant circuit. Little Alana has worn just about every sequined outfit imaginable and is known to carry around a bottle of green “Go-Go Juice.” The Halloween pick-up line is officially, “I’m Alana, I’m six and I’m a beauty queen.”
The recent Packers versus Seahawks referee fiasco may have resulted in some angry fans and hurt feelings, but I am personally happy about the debacle. The event brought one of this year’s “it” costumes. I bring you: The Replacement Ref. The costume is as simple as a striped referee shirt and a hat. I created an NFL logo with Crayola markers, plain paper and tape. While this may not look different than a normal referee, the actions that occur in the outfit will make it known that this is in fact a Replacement Ref. This costume comes with specific directions to cause as many “party fouls” as possible and ruin everything around them. The wearer will be left with no consequences as their outfit permits these wrongdoings.
no longer helping me turn myself into a witch or a piece of candy-corn with felt and face paint, I have been forced to come up with some ideas for costumes on my own. After all, nothing should keep students from celebrating the University’s second favorite holiday (first place going to Unofficial, of course). Whether students plan their outfits a month ahead of time or wait until Oct. 30 to start thinking of ideas, a little wit and perusing of closets can bring about some great costumes. Here are some quick and easy ways to get dressed for the holiday:

Student juggles academics, impending motherhood BY TAYLOR ELLIS STAFF WRITER Between classes, homework, extracurricular activities and maintaining a healthy social life, students at the University are constantly trying to keep some sort of balance in their lives. For some, this balance can be thrown off by laziness, too much work, a tragedy, or, in the rarest cases, a miracle — pregnancy. Christine Herman, a gradu-
ate student working toward her masters in journalism and former Illini Media employee, is currently seven months pregnant and is expecting her son to be born on Nov. 26. Herman, 27, who has been married for three years, made the decision with her husband to try to get pregnant while she was finishing her Ph.D. in chemistry last spring. “I got really lucky because I found out I was pregnant less
than a week before I defended my Ph.D., but I didn’t start getting sick until four days after,” Herman said. “Basically, I was pretty much done with school when I started to get sick around week eight.” When Herman and her husband Geoffrey began trying to have a child, doctors emotionally prepared them by explaining that it could take some time. However, this wasn’t the case for the couple.
“It was planned but it still felt surprising because I was like, ‘We’re just going to start trying and if it happens, that’s great and if not, it could take a long time,’” Herman said. “But it was like, ‘Oh wow, I’m pregnant!’” Professors have been very understanding of her situation throughout her pregnancy, Herman said. During this past summer, Herman was still working in a chemistry lab with a
Ph.D. advisor who was accepting of her issues with morning sickness. “I told him before I had announced it on Facebook or made it public knowledge because I needed to let him know why I wasn’t coming in at a reasonable hour in the mornings,” Herman said. For the fall semester, Herman made a point of talking to each of her professors dur-
ing the first week of class after reviewing each syllabus and proposing a plan for completing her coursework. “None of my classes have final exams — it’s all papers, stories or projects,” Herman said. “So I explained to the professors that I would like to get all of the work for the semester done before Thanksgiving break.”

Some eat a specific meal, some tape their sticks a certain way, some put their pads on in a distinct order. The list goes on. Illinois freshman forward John Olen doesn’t abide by any pregame rituals. In fact, Olen may be a prime example of why the aspect of this time-honored tradition is irrational. “I don’t really have any pregame superstitions,” he said. “I generally just try and eat something light, do some stretches and listen to music off of my iPod.” Olen’s lack of sacral beliefs has not had

Soccer watches video footage to improve, make stats come to life BY CHARLIE MANIATES STAFF WRITER
Over the past decade, technology has become increasingly useful in a sports world that has been aiming to correct wrongs as much as possible. This can be seen in nearly every sport, both at the collegiate and professional levels. One form of this, the use of game footage, is often utilized for two primary purposes. The fi rst is to correct officiating mistakes as they occur. The second, and more important for the Illinois women’s soccer team, is using it to game plan in between its matches.

That is, they look at statistics such as possession, completed passes, shots on goals, corner kicks and then use the video to make them meaningful. The Illini do this in an attempt to correct the mistakes they may have made as well as point out the things that they did well. “There’s a lot of statistical information that we gather. Video just puts those together and brings those stats to life,” Rayfield said. “Fifty-fi fty balls, percentage of passes completed (are included), but now I can look at every pass that a player lost and see where they lost it. To be able to use the video to

PAWLOSKI teach players, to see it as it happened, is certainly a valuable teaching tool.” One player who particularly likes using game fi lm as a tool is junior forward Megan Pawloski, who said it brings a much deeper depth to the game. “For me personally, it’s very helpful because when you’re in the game, you don’t necessarily think about things. You just act and play,” Pawloski said. “When you watch the fi lm, it helps to show what scenarios you should be doing certain things, and it’s

ight now, Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline is owned in about 26 percent of ESPN leagues. In a day or two, that number will jump up dramatically. That’s what 12 receptions for 253 yards and one touchdown in one game will do for you. But you have to be wary of the breakout fantasy performance. That’s not to say you should ignore it or write it off as a one-week wonder, but at the same time, you don’t want to jump in head fi rst. The likelihood this was merely a flash
in the pan far outweighs the likelihood this was Hartline’s coming-out party. So, when a game like Hartline’s happens, the fi rst question we should ask is, how? How did this happen? This man had more than 100 yards receiving in a game only once in his four-year career prior to Sunday. What changed? This man had caught more than five passes in a game only once before Sunday’s 12-catch effort. Did he suddenly learn how to get open? Who’s to say he didn’t just get lucky? But it cannot simply be luck. The numbers are too big. It’d be one thing to write Hartline off if he had nine receptions for 150 yards or even 10 for 195, but the magnitude of
Hartline’s stat line is remarkable. He had 253 yards!! That number fi nds its way into the record books — the 18th-best single-game receiving performance all-time and the highest total since Lee Evans tallied 265 yards in a game in 2006. Historically, at least in recent fantasy play, Hartline may compare best to Miles Austin. Fantasy-wise, the Cowboys receiver was worthless in his fi rst three NFL seasons as he had only one 100-yard game. But then he exploded for a 10-catch, 250-yard performance early in his fourth year, and it’s been all gravy from there. Now he’s a solid

Football finding it hard to keep Memorial Stadium filled Crowds thin out as Illinois suffers back-to-back blowout losses As the visitors rack up the points, the crowd thins out quickly — orange-clad fans trickling toward the exits as the victory gets out of reach. Such has been the case for the last two Illinois football games at Memorial Stadium. The Illini have suffered back-toback blowout losses at the hands of Louisiana Tech and Penn State. “We went 7-6 last year, but man those games that we lost, most of those games that we lost were not as bad as what’s been happening,” running back Donovonn Young said. “I feel bad for the fans. I look up in the stands, and they’re leaving after the third quarter and it hurts.” The Illini aren’t happy with their performance as all three loses this season have been by at least 28 points, but Young and his teammates aren’t dwelling on the first five games. “I’m done talking about it,” he said. “There’s no need to talk about it. We need to go out and do it. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Let’s go out and handle business.”
Tim Beckman hopes to get the offense going through the ground game. Aside from a strong showing against FCS opponent Charleston Southern, the Illinois offense has struggled all season and was almost nonexistent in the three losses. “College football is running the football,” Beckman said. “We’ve got to be able to establish that, and we’ve got to definitely get better at running the football.” Illinois ran the ball 22 times against Penn State, compared with 47 pass attempts as the Illini played from behind the entire game. Young said he’d like to see more touches against the Badgers this week. “You can’t run the ball when you don’t have the ball,” Young said. “I feel like I can play with the best of them. Just gotta get the ball in our (the running backs’) hands.” The Illini are eighth in the Big Ten in rushing at 74 yards per game, but the team’s mediocre numbers are likely due to the three games where it had to play catch up as the opponent built a big lead. In addition to the skewed run-pass ratio, the Illini backs have been running behind an offensive line that changes from week to week due to injuries. “I feel like the line has played well despite all the turnover,” Young said. “There’s been so much change. The only person that has really been in one position has been Teddy Karras, and the rest of the line has shifted around, moved to different positions. ... I feel like we’ve done well despite all that’s happened.”
Rushing is key

Howe played sparingly in all five games, but depth is a concern behind junior Akeem Spence. Neither Williams nor Powell has played this season, as both are candidates to be redshirted. But Beckman said with the limited depth and injuries, no player has been redshirted as of Tuesday. “We’re going to play whoever we feel can help us win football games,” Beckman said. “So if it’s Teko, Vontrell or Daniel Rhodes — the three freshmen that play that position — then we’ll ele-
vate them up and get themselves ready to play.”
Injury update Jonathan Brown and Michael Buchanan joined the ever-growing list of starters who have missed time this season on both sides of the ball. Since the opener against Western Michigan, quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, running back Josh Ferguson, offensive linemen Graham Pocic and Hugh Thornton and wide receiver Darius Millines have missed time on offense.
On the defensive side, linebackers Houston Bates and Brown, safeties Supo Sanni and Steve Hull, and Buchanan have all sat out along with kicker Nick Immekus. “We’ve got to have somebody else be ready to step up,” co-offensive coordinator Billy Gonzales said. “You don’t want to just build a team, you want to build a program for the entire future. Guys have got to step up and continue to work, but obviously it hurts when you don’t have all your guys out there with that continuity.”

Washington fans celebrate 1st division title in 79 years Fans root for Roosevelt to join Nationals in victory BY TOM RAUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
While President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney bone up in Nevada and Colorado for Wednesday’s opening debate, back in the nation’s capital attention is split between the hard-fought presidential race and baseball playoffs. The Nationals won the first division baseball championship for a Washington team since 1933 by clinching the National League East race Monday night. Washington, D.C., has the
only ballpark where so many Cabinet members, politicians and other luminaries routinely gather and where fans now are openly rooting for a particular president — one who served more than a century ago, Theodore Roosevelt . “Let Teddy Win” banners and buttons are everywhere. Fans like 2008 GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain of Arizona say it’s time for Roosevelt’s 500-plus losing streak to end. What it’s all about is a goofy, rigged foot race — “The Presidents Race” — on the side of the
Hurt player back to big leagues for day BY STEVEN WINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHN MCDONNELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Teddy Roosevelt crosses the finish line riding a Segway, defeating the other presidents in the “Presidents Race” held between innings at the Washington Nationals baseball game at Nationals Park on June 1. field in the fourth inning at home games featuring characters in outsized costumes portraying Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Roosevelt. Roosevelt always loses. “Teddy, you are the victim of a vast left-wing conspiracy by the commie pinko libs in this town,” McCain said in a video played in the stadium Monday night. “But you can overcome that.” Teddy didn’t — despite McCain’s encouragement. Maybe next time?
No less a fan than Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke suggests the team’s recent successes could be a good model for the struggling economy. “Even when they were really bad they were trying to hire, scout, sign young players and look towards the future. That’s what our economy is all about,” Bernanke told the Economic Club of Indiana Monday. He was asked what lessons economic policymakers could draw from the upstart team’s victories.
MIAMI — Only hours before getting his second chance in the big leagues, Adam Greenberg admitted he was nervous. Not about facing one of baseball’s best pitchers — but about some pregame antics his new Miami Marlins teammates had in store for him. Greenberg signed a one-day contract to play Tuesday night as a pinch-hitter in the Marlins’ game against the New York Mets, who planned to start 20-game winner R.A. Dickey. The game was Greenberg’s fi rst since he stepped to the plate for his major league debut in 2005 and was hit in the back of the head by the fi rst pitch he saw — a 92-mph fastball that derailed his career. Greenberg, 31, took part in batting practice and said he was overwhelmed by the positive reception from his new teammates, who planned to treat him like any other rookie. Catcher John Buck said Greenberg would don a USA Speedo, blue tennis shoes and pink goggles for a pregame performance in the clubhouse.
“I’ve got to go sing and dance in front of them like a real rookie,” Greenberg said. “That, to be honest, is what I’m more nervous about.” The 5-foot-9 Greenberg said he hoped the game marks only the beginning of a career comeback. He didn’t play in the minor leagues this year and hasn’t been with a major league organization since 2008, but he still harbors hopes of a big-league job. “Hopefully there is going to be a lot more of this. This is good stuff,” Greenberg said at a pregame news conference. “I want to show everyone I can play, although you can never really truly do that in one at-bat, especially if it ends up being against Dickey.” Several Marlins played with Greenberg in the minors as he struggled to recover from his beaning. “He was a good player, and for it to be ruined on one pitch is a tough blow, if you will,” Buck said. “But he has fought back. This is one of those good stories for young kids and what baseball is about — enduring to the end, and making the most of your opportunity.”
McQueary sues Penn State for defamation with Sandusky case BY MARK SCOLFORO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A former Penn State graduate assistant who complained he saw former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky showering with a young boy on campus in 2001 and testified at his sex abuse trial this summer sued the university on Tuesday for what he says is defamation and misrepresentation. Mike McQueary’s whistleblower lawsuit claims his treatment by the university since Sandusky was arrested on child molestation charges in November has caused him distress, anxiety, humiliation and embarrassment. It seeks millions of dollars in damages. Penn State spokesman Dave La Torre declined to comment on Tuesday, and McQueary’s lawyer Elliot Strokoff did not return a phone message. The lawsuit discloses that shortly after Sandusky was charged, the university’s thenpresident, Graham Spanier, met with athletic department staff inside the football stadium and expressed his support for athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz, who had been charged with perjury and failure to properly report suspected child abuse in the Sandusky case. Spanier also issued
a public statement with the same message. Curley, now on leave, and Schultz, who has retired, have repeatedly denied the charges against them and await trial. McQueary, whose contract with Penn State wasn’t renewed, testified that he came upon Sandusky and the boy in a team shower in a sexually suggestive position on a Friday night in early 2001. He told jurors at Sandusky’s trial he heard a “skin-on-skin smacking sound” and what he saw was “more than my brain could handle.” He said the boy’s hands were against a wall and Sandusky was behind him, with his midsection moving subtly. McQueary reported the episode to then-head football coach Joe Paterno, who in turn alerted Curley and Schultz. Paterno was fired after the three men were charged, and he died of complications from lung cancer in January. McQueary claims that the November meeting with Spanier “clearly suggest(ed) that (McQueary) was lying in his reports and testimonies that he had reported the sexual misconduct.” “Spanier’s statements have irreparably harmed (McQueary’s) reputation for honesty and integrity, and have irreparably harmed (his) ability to earn a living, especially in his chosen profession of
JACQUELINE LARMA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former Penn State assistant football coach Mike McQueary arrives at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the Penn State campus for the funeral service of former football coach Joe Paterno in State College, Pa., on Jan. 25. McQueary sued Penn State for what he says is defamation and misrepresentation. coaching football,” the lawsuit said. Messages left for Spanier and his lawyer on Tuesday were not immediately returned. The lawsuit said McQueary learned his contract was not being renewed, meaning he was no longer a university employ-
ee, from a news conference held in July by the university’s new president, Rodney Erickson. He said his salary last year was $140,000 and his future earnings as a coach would amount to at least $4 million. Sandusky, a former defensive coordinator, was convict-
ed in June on charges he sexually abused 10 boys, some on campus. He remains jailed awaiting sentencing. Eight young men testifi ed against Sandusky, describing a range of abuse they said went from grooming and manip-
ulation to fondling, oral sex and anal rape when they were boys. One young man testifiedthat his muffled screams from the basement of the Sandusky home in State College , where Penn State is based, went unanswered as Sandusky attacked him.

The big 10 of the
Leaders Division struggles in 1st weekend of conference games BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: Big 10 of the Big Ten is a collection of tidbits from around the conference. This weekly feature provides a recap from the previous slate of games and also serves as a preview to the upcoming football weekend.
Conference play begins Saturday marked the start of the 117th season of Big Ten football. Northwestern, Penn State, Iowa, Ohio State and Nebraska all won conference games. Iowa knocked off then-undefeated Minnesota, and Penn State won its first conference game under new head coach Bill O’Brien.
Sparty takes a blow Ohio State waltzed into East Lansing, Mich., and handed Michigan State its second home loss in three games. The Buckeyes defense held Spartans running back Le’Veon Bell to just 45 yards on 17 carries. Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller accumulated 315 total yards, while Michigan State managed to score only one touchdown in a 17-16 loss.
Cornhuskers get revenge Nebraska avenged the 48-17 pounding Wisconsin handed it in the Cornhuskers’ first Big Ten game last year. The Huskers outlasted the Badgers 30-27 at home to open conference play. The struggling Badgers has fallen to 3-2 with all victories coming by five points or less.
Fashion statement Wisconsin and Nebraska did their best to confuse viewers with their new alternative uniforms Saturday. Nebraska sported red jerseys with black helmets with a block N, while Wisconsin wore white and red helmets with a block W. Both teams wore similar Adidas designs, making it difficult to distinguish the squads at first glance.
Top offensive performance Northwestern’s Kain Colter lit
OLEN FROM PAGE 1B “I really like playing with Scott (Barrera, senior) and Kevin (Chowaniec, freshman),” Olen said, pointing the attention anywhere but him. “They both have multiple points, too. There’s a lot of talent on the line and the team as a whole. I’m leading in points, but a lot of guys aren’t too far behind. I’d say they’re contributing just as much as me.” Despite only playing in four games as an Illini, Olen has already established an impressive rapport with teammates Chowaniec and Barrera. “Me and Kevin played a lot together over the summer, so I was able to figure out his tendencies,” Olen said. “Scott is just a great player. He’s easy to play with. He gets into the corners and works hard and he makes it easy to get everyone the puck.” Barrera said Olen’s complementary style of play is key to the line’s success.
CARLOS OSORIO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michigan State running back Le’Veon Bell (24) is stopped by Ohio State defensive backs Bradley Roby (1) and Christian Bryant (2) in East Lansing, Mich., on Saturday. Bell was held to just 45 yards in the 17-16 loss. up Indiana’s defense for 294 total yards and four touchdowns. He ran for a score in each quarter, accumulating 164 yards on 14 carries en route to a 44-29 victory.
Top defensive performance Linebacker Michael Mauti had six tackles and two interceptions in the Nittany Lions’ 35-7 blowout win against the Illini. He returned his first interception for 99 yards in the waning seconds of the first half. The Illini would block the ensuing field goal attempt, but it was of little significance.
Where they rank Three Big Ten teams made the AP top 25 this week, with Ohio State the highest at No. 12. Nebraska comes in at No. 21 and undefeated Northwestern at No. 24. The Wildcats cracked the rankings for the first time since 2010 and have a realistic chance to start the season 7-0. After its loss to Ohio State, Michigan State dropped from the top 25 but still received votes. Its rival, Michigan, also garnered votes.
Who wants to win Leaders?
ineligible to play in the Big Ten championship. With Purdue idle last week, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana all lost their conference openers. The division race should be interesting the rest of the way. The third-place team could represent the division in the Big Ten title game on Dec. 1 in Indianapolis.
Game to watch Nebraska will meet Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio, in primetime Saturday. The Cornhuskers look to follow up their big home win against Wisconsin by handing the Buckeyes their first loss of the season. Quarterback Taylor Martinez will give the Ohio State defense all it can handle in Nebraska’s first trip to Ohio Stadium since 1956.
Game to keep an eye on Undefeated Northwestern will travel to University Park, Pa., to take on a Penn State team coming off a lopsided win at Illinois. The game will be the Wildcats’ toughest challenge to date this year. Colter should have trouble emulating his four touchdown performance against Mauti and the Nittany Lions defense.
The only teams in the Leaders Division with conference wins are

“He’s always open,” Barrera said. “He always finds open ice. I see myself as a playmaker, so he makes my game a lot easier. We play very similar, so I can always find him in the same spots I would expect myself to be, so I know where to pass the puck.” Olen’s journey to Illinois was a long one. As a 20-year-old freshman, Olen spent the last two years of his life polishing his game playing junior level hockey. After graduating high school, Olen was drafted into the United States Hockey League, the country’s premier junior league. Narrowly missing the cut for the Des Moines Buccaneers, Olen opted to play for the Janesville Jets of the North American Hockey League. Olen said getting cut helped shape him into the player he is today. “Getting cut from certain teams growing up was something that made an impact on my game,” he said. “It really motivates me to play harder at
the next tryout and year to make the team and possibly beat the team that cut me. I always try to keep going and stick to it, even if it didn’t work out at times.” Olen quickly established himself at the junior level, recording 43 points in 98 games for the Jets over two seasons. He then decided to make the jump to college, choosing Illinois for its academics in addition to knowing players on the team. Illinois went 38-0 en route to a national championship in 2008, and one of Olen’s main goals for his first year on the team is to help the Illini return to that form. The Illini currently stand at 3-0-1. While Olen doesn’t admit to partaking in any strange pregame rituals, he has established one weekly ritual: scoring on Friday nights. Dating back to the Illini’s exhibition games, every single point Olen has scored has been on a Friday.

FANTASY DR. FROM PAGE 1B fantasy option week in and week out. But he needed that one breakout game to get it all started. Perhaps this past week was that game for Hartline. So, regardless of the past, if the waiver wire works in your favor, you have to grab Hartline. Even if it’s just to hoard him on your bench, you have to do it. It’d be negligent not to. But at the same time, if you want to say “screw it” because he’s a former Buckeye, I completely endorse that as well. Two other free agent receivers are also worth a look this week: Andre Roberts (Cardinals) — Roberts has a knack for the end zone. He scored his third and fourth touchdown of the season this Sunday for an Arizona team that might actually be good. Expect him to keep up the production as long as quarterback Kevin Kolb continues to play well, which is probably
SOCCER FROM PAGE 1B helpful to get it engraved in your brain.” It certainly helped Illinois this past weekend. After scoring only one goal combined against Ohio State and Penn State last week, Rayfield said the team was going to look to the video to see how it can improve its offensive chances. This past weekend, the Illini scored three goals combined, taking home a win against Indiana and settling for a tie against Purdue.
MATT YORK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline lunges for the end zone against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in Glendale, Ariz. not that long. Andrew Hawkins (Bengals) — Hawkins is the Darren Sproles of the Bengals. He’s a lightning-fast, little-jumping bean who gets plenty of touches. He’s scored on two plays of over 50 yards already this sea-
son, and in a passing offense like Cincinnati’s, he is bound for more. If Hawkins is still available, jump on it.
This benefit was not always so readily available. Rayfield, who has coached soccer since 1983, has experience without it and knows how helpful it can be in many facets of the game. “The development of technology has changed our ability to evaluate, to teach, to scout,” Rayfield said. “All three of those have multiplied by 100-fold in the 20 years I’ve been coaching (in the collegiate level).” The use of video as a teaching tool, though it depends on what kind of learner the player is. Rayfield said many visual learners do request to view game film each week, but others
can be a little different. “There are some who much prefer to see things drawn out on a chalkboard, and then there are some who really don’t understand it until you put them out there on the field and put them in a training situation,” Rayfield said. She said that the Illini like to use all of these tools in their preparations because of players’ different needs. But, that video is important in some cases to prove a point because. as Rayfield put it, “it doesn’t lie.”
