Kickoff of Ethics Awareness Week today BY JACQUELINE OGRODNIK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The National Center for Professional and Research Ethics will be sponsoring Ethics Awareness Week on Oct. 8-12. This week-long event will consist of various local and national speakers who will focus on issues involving ethics in a wide range of areas from personal life to teaching to conducting research. Ethics Awareness Week is sponsored by the Graduate College and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and is co-sponsored by the Center for Professional Responsibility in Business and Society. “Students will benefit from Ethics Awareness Week by having the opportunity to learn about the important and complex issues surrounding ethics,” said Peter Schiffer, vice chancellor for research, in an email. C.K. Gunsalus, director of Illinois’ National Center for Professional and Research Ethics and co-organizer of the event, said this week will focus on encouraging, thinking and talking about ethics. “All of us grapple with ethical issues and ethical choices,” Gunsalus said. “When working in an organization with other people, there are misunderstandings, confl icts and issues where rules are sometimes ambiguous.” Gunsalus said students also face ethical issues, such as taking a friend’s I-clicker to class to comparing reports before submitting them. In an effort to involve students in the week’s activities, the Ethics Collaborative Online Resource Environment student advisory committee will be hosting an expert panel Thursday at the Illini Union. An online form at tinyurl.com/ethicsexpertquestions is available for students to anonymously fi ll out, so the discussion can be centered on real situations. “People encounter these problems all the time,” Gunsalus said. “Talking about them with each other and sharing resources and perspectives is fascinating, engaging and fun.” Brian Barsotti, sophomore in LAS, said ethical behavior is valuable in many aspects of life. “I believe ethics play a vital role in the lives of students, both in terms of academic integrity and in terms of social interactions,” he said. Throughout the week, speakers from academic and professional agencies and organizations will focus on major issues in ethics.

A group of “zombies”—students taking part in the campus-wide week-long game of Humans vs. Zombies— charge up the sidewalk near Foellinger Auditorium as they attempt to capture it from the “humans” on Saturday.

group of zombies gathered at the bottom of the steps outside Foellinger Hall, glaring up at the humans who stood at the top defensively. The zombies, preparing to claim their victory and the human’s defeat by swarming the steps, fiercely chanted battle cries. “What do we want? Brains! When do we want them? Now!” the zombies screamed. This battle was part of an outdoor, weeklong game of modified tag put on by a registered student organization, called Humans vs. Zombies. Tuesday marked the beginning of a week of paranoia for the humans. Two members of the RSO made up a creative team to develop the storyline and game objectives. Every day, the team issued public service announcements, or emails, to members of the RSO about
!"Humans and zombies have one

Disability resources division wins award BY YELE AJAYI CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The University accepted a 2012 BarrierFree America Award, which recognized the handicap accessibility of campus, on Tuesday. Brad Hedrick, director of the Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services, accepted the award for the divsion as well as Nugent Hall at the Paralyzed Veterans of America Americana Gala in Washington, D.C. “The award was an acknowledgement of the leadership the University has shown to promote societal access for people with disabilities,” Hedrick said. The Barrier-Free America Award, cre-
ated in 2001, is annually presented to an organization or individual that focuses on the importance of accessible design for people who are paralyzed. Nugent Hall, named after DRES founder, Timothy J. Nugent, opened in March 2010 and provides students with remotecontrolled ceiling lift systems, sensor-controlled light switches, keyless entry and adjustable furniture. The University was the fi rst to offer residential services to students with disabilities, according to a press release. Hedrick said there are more than 1,300 students in the program and over 70 percent of those students have a disability. “(DRES) provide(s) all of the services that
are required to provide students with equal access,” Hedrick said. “The population has substantially grown over the past 40 years.” Hedrick said the facility tries to be helpful in providing students with support groups and academic coaching. He said DRES is known for having the fi rst wheelchair-accessible fi xed route bus system and implementing curb cuts. Delta Sigma Omicron also became the fi rst university service fraternity and advocacy group comprised of students with disabilities with the help of DRES . The division also helped establish the fi rst collegiate adapted sports and recreation program for students with

Computing conference attracts students, employers BY TYLER DAVIS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Ken Taylor, engineering manager at Neustar, speaks at the Reflections|Projections conference in the Digital Computing Lab on Saturday.
Startup tech companies were the focus of the 18th annual Reflections | Projections Computing Conference, hosted by the University’s student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery. ACM put an emphasis on exposing students to entrepreneurial computing on Saturday by introducing a startup fair where up-and-coming companies pitched their businesses to potential new employees. This fair — the fi rst of its kind in the event’s 18-year history — gave startups a chance to shine without being overshadowed by larger companies like Facebook and Intel, which were part of another job fair on Friday.

“We want to provide students with better ways to get in touch with some of the better minds in technology,“ said Cait Reizman, co-chair of the conference. The fairs were held at Thomas M. Siebel Center for Computer Science, the main building of the University’s computer science department. “I can think of no other place that would be more focused on computer science and engineering students than (at an) ACM convention at (the) Siebel Center,” said Rajesh Karmani of Zero Percent, a startup aimed at eliminating food waste at restaurants.

First prize winners were eligible to win $375. Presentations were offered all weekend, including “The Art and Algorithms of Pixar’s Brave,” by Danielle Feinberg,

Mike O’Brian of the Central Puppetry Guild entertains local children at the Youth Literacy Festival held by the College of Engineering I-Hotel Conference Center on Saturday. Activities included seminars hosted by famous children’s authors and arts and crafts.
Festival urges kids to read, write despite censorship BY CAROL SUN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Youth Literature Festival, which coincided with Banned Books Week, was held Saturday to promote reading and writing in local children. Sixteen authors , including Blue Balliett, who wrote the New York Times best-selling novel, “Chasing Vermeer,” and Joseph Bruchac, who wrote the best-selling “Keepers of the Earth” series, visited a total of 58 schools and libraries in Champaign-Urbana on Thursday and Friday, and ended their visit with a book signing on Community Day on Saturday. Beth Vredenburg, coordinator of the Youth Literature Festival, said she was looking forward to the festival. “I am thrilled we are able to get the authors we have this year,” she said. Stephanie Edwards, children services manager at the Champaign Public Library, said the festival was a great opportunity to share what’s going on at the library and encourage kids
to read. From public libraries in the Champaign-Urbana area to WILL-TV’s Young Learners Initiative, a program dedicated to helping kids learn, there were resources available for kids in the local area. The kids had an assortment of fall-related activities to do, from making masks to creating puppets. Additionally, kids had the opportunity to take photos with the Cat in the Hat. Authors of popular children’s books encouraged the children to read. The College of Education and the University Library also hosted the fourth annual Youth Literature Writing Contest. Grant Siegmund, 12-year-old author of “Frost,” one of the winning entries, said the contest let “kids have a chance to do things they normally can’t do.” He said he wouldn’t normally write because there was no purpose, but this contest made him want to write more for fun. The festival’s celebration of literature took place during Banned Books Week, which is dedicated
to confronting censorship and celebrating the freedom to read. “I think banned books should be read,” said Katie O’Brian, graduate assistant at the Urbana Free Library. “I understand why books should be banned, but ultimately censorship can be more dangerous than children reading about girls who swear, or do mean things to each other or think about sex.” Tad Andracki is the outreach and communications coordinator of Center for Children’s Books, a research unit at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science. He echoed O’Brian’s sentiments and said books should not be censored just because someone does not agree with the material in them. “As librarians, we are committed to intellectual freedom, committed to fighting censorship, committed to free expression and getting books to children who want to read them,” he said.
the upcoming zombie invasion of campus. The game came to an end on the Quad on Saturday with a fi nal battle between the living and the undead. “Some people call it the scariest week of their lives,” said Nate Peterson, sophomore in Engineering. According to the national Humans vs. Zombies website, the game originated at Goucher College in Baltimore, Md., in 2005, and it spread virally through Facebook. Now, over 650 colleges and universities in the world host the game — including the University. In the University version, to combat zombies, Peterson said humans have two options: either run away or stun them for 15 minutes with a balled-up sock. “A lot of other schools use nerf blasters,” he said. “Right now the faculty is not letting us use them because there are various safety issues involved. We hope to come up with a safe solution.” Becca Nothof, sophomore in engineering, who became a zombie the night before Saturday’s

important,” she said. These students are making the most of their experience here on campus, too, she said. Christina Young, freshman in AHS , plays for the University’s wheelchair basketball team. “So far, playing for the wheelchair basketball team has been the best time of my life,” Young said. “All my teammates are wonderful and they are like my new family.” Young said the University does a good job with making campus accessible to paralyzed students through the bus ramps, accessible buildings and athletic programs offered. “I feel as if I have the same opportunities as any other student,” Young said. “I can do anything anyone else can.”

As the week went on, the creative team continued to develop the storyline for the game. On Saturday, after an hour of battle, the fi nal mission ended with the humans capturing the generators, or plastic cups special to the ending day, which were held at battle areas and kept the zombies alive. The arena spanned from the Alma Mater statue base to the steps of Foellinger Hall to the amphitheater at Krannert Center for Performing Arts. Peterson said the outcome was pretty unusual because the game is set up in the favor of the zombies. He said only one game has resulted in a human win. As a member of the winning human team, Peterson said it felt great to win, but it was more about everyone coming together to have fun. “The best part about it is that even when the game is done, everyone is shaking hands — humans and zombies,” he said.

Thomas Woods carries his son Alexander Woods on his shoulders during the Champaign-Urbana Down Syndrome Network Buddy Walk held Saturday at the Champaign County Fairgrounds. Alexander, who has Down Syndrome, is the son of Illinois’ Senior Associate Athletic Director Maria Woods.
Eighth annual ‘Buddy Walk’ a success Campus, community endorses National Down Syndrome month BY ILYA GUREVIC CONTRIBUTING WRITER
University students turned out in support of the Champaign-Urbana Down Syndrome Network’s annual Buddy Walk Saturday. The Down Syndrome Network sponsored the event and raised more than $27,000, of which a portion went to the National Down Syndrome Society, which provides legislative and advocacy services for the cause. The Champaign-Urbana DSN’s Buddy Walk has been held annually since 2005. Kim Wooldridge, event organizer and secretary for DSN, said more than 1,200 attended Saturday’s event. Down Syndrome is a genetic abnormality in which an individual carries “full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21” instead of the usual two that is marked by high incidence of congenital heart conditions, leukemia, low muscle tone and cognitive delays. More than 400,000 Americans have Down Syndrome, and the NDSS has designated October as National Down Syndrome Awareness Month. The event was held at the Champaign County Fairgrounds and featured music by DJ James Oglesby, infl atables, a mechan-
ical bull, food vendors and a resource fair. Local businesses donated prizes, which were raffl ed off. The centerpiece of the event was Buddy Walk — the procession of families, volunteers and supporters around the fairgrounds to symbolize unity and solidarity. The Buddy Walk focused on children with Down Syndrome. More than forty teams composed of families and supporters — who raised money and obtained sponsorships from local businesses to honor a particular child who receives DSN assistance — participated in the walk. The DSN made full-color canvas signs for each of the team’s tents, where the members congregated before and after the walk. Teams chose names to honor children with Down Syndrome, such as “The Few, The Proud, The Maureens,” Several student organizations at the University volunteered at the event, including the coed service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega . Geena Wakeley, junior in LAS, said more than 120 students from the organization signed up to volunteer at the event. Members of Best Buddies, an organization that matches University students with people in the community
with Down Syndrome or other special needs, also volunteered at the event. “We have a team and raised money,” said Maggie Kearns , junior in Education and match coordinator for Best Buddies. Darcy Bean, volunteer coordinator for the event and graduate student in Special Education, said he appreciated the University’s involvement in the event. “I am just really surprised that I get people calling me out of the blue to help, without my having to contact them, like the Parkland men’s basketball team and the (University’s) APO,” Bean said. “The disability community is really strong here.” Families and supporters of the affected children in the area were complimentary about the DSN and the Buddy Walk. Darla Schall , of Paxton, Ill., whose son Brendan has Down Syndrome, said the DSN is a “great resource for new parents” of affected children. She said her family has participated in the event for eight years. “It’s been fun to watch it grow and develop,” she said. Rachel Pfl ederer, junior in Education, attended after hearing about the event through her Special Education classes. “It’s really neat how this brings campus and community together,” she said.

UI Veterinary school reaches out to local community in open house BY PULU WANG STAFF WRITER
The College of Veterinary Medicine held an open house Sunday, which drew around 500 people from the Champaign-Urbana area, including prospective veterinary medicine students. The open house aimed to educate the community about the University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, which is the only one in Illinois. Students representing the college explained to the public what veterinary medicine is. The prospective veterinary medicine students also heard a lecture about the requirements to be admitted to the college. “We just open every door to the public,” said Jamie Hebron, open house community member and junior in Veterinary Medicine. “A lot of perspective students who want to be in vet school, some high school students and some kids from all ages come to the event.”
The event was composed of about 50 exhibits and demonstrations, which were run by the veterinary students. These exhibits introduced the pubic to different aspects of veterinary medicine. There were a variety of activities, such as an underwater treadmill for dogs, a horse– shoeing demonstration and a booth for milking cows. New to the event this year was a scavenger hunt that allowed children to pretend to be veterinarians by solving medical cases. There was also a teddy bear repairing center that helped children fix their plush toys. Most of the activities were geared towards children, teaching them how to diagnose and treat illnesses and to take care of their own pets. “I love kids and I am happy to help them,” said Amber Bulger, junior in Veterinary Medicine. “It lets them do what we do but in a kid-friendly way.” Several local organizations participated in the open house,
such as the Society for Hooved Animals’ Rescue and Emergency and the Champaign Area Trap Spay/Neuter and Adoption Program. There were also pet adoption programs like the Champaign County Humane Society and Retired Greyhounds as Pets. Students from all years of the Veterinary Medicine program took part in organizing the event. They showed what they have learned in different areas such as cardiology, dentistry and cancer care. The planning began three to four months ago and it took a lot of effort to put on a successful open house, said Cara Redmond, open house community member and junior in Veterinary Medicine. “I think it’s a good way to practice skills since in class we really don’t have that opportunity,” she said. “It’s nice to reach out to the community.”

Police kill U Ala. student; campus seeks answers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOBILE, Ala. — Classmates and friends are questioning why a police officer fatally shot a University of South Alabama freshman who was naked and had been banging on a window at police headquarters. Campus officials didn’t give any indication that Gil Collar, 18, of Wetumpka had a weapon when he was shot. A university spokesman said he was fatally wounded about 1:30 a.m. Sat-
urday after an officer heard a bang on a window and went outside to investigate. A statement issued by university spokesman Keith Ayers said Collar, who wrestled at Wetumpka High School before enrolling at South Alabama, assumed a “fi ghting stance” and chased an officer before being shot. The officer tried to retreat numerous times to defuse the situation before opening fi re, the school said.
But sophomore Tyler Kendrick said campus authorities haven’t provided any satisfying answers about why Collar was killed. “Really, it just upsets me that there’s no other way to apprehend an unarmed student rather than shooting him. I don’t understand that,” Kendrick said. Student Joshua Frye said it seemed the officer could have used something else instead.

University must stop nursing, defending a broken system that works against graduate employees
TOLU TAIWO Opinions columnist
T
hursday marked 50 days since graduate employees at the University worked without a contract. The last contract expired Aug. 16, leaving major issues — including tuition-waiver waiver protection — unresolved. This comes a week after the Graduate Employees’ Organization filed an unfair labor practice charge with the University when a group of graduate employees had still not received paychecks and tuition waivers weeks into the semester. These two events alone are cause for concern regarding a population of student employees who contribute their efforts daily to the University. But this tension between the University and graduate students is nothing new: Graduate employees receive the short end of the stick time and time again. Graduate employees have long been ignored by the administration. Conflicts between the administration caused a thousand graduate assistants and teaching assistants to go on strike in the fall of 2009, causing classes to be cancelled campuswide. It was then when the power and effects of the GEO were finally understood in full. Somehow, despite the 2009 strike and those following it, negotiating contracts in a timely manner still doesn’t happen. Since the fall of 2009, reports have shown the GEO’s dissatisfaction with the University. The University is known for its problematic contract renegotiations — this school has a reputation for handling these kinds of situations. And it’s not a good one. In the summer of 2010, tuition waiver protection was in question for the College of Fine and Applied Arts. A year later, the GEO won the case against the University, protecting those waivers. Last fall, graduate employees held several rallies and awareness events shedding light on a defunct system: graduate assistants and professional graduate assistants received reduced or zerodollar paychecks. A federal law taxes these workers 30 percent after the first $5,250 of a tuition waiver — in some cases, that 30 percent is their entire salary for that pay period, leaving them with no money. In other words, many GAs are out-of-state students, meaning their tuition waivers are higher, resulting in their taxes being nearly greater than their income, resulting in these zero-dollar paychecks. The University should have foresight and programs in place to prevent a graduate employee from being short on money to pay rent, bills, groceries and other basic living costs. While the University makes short-term loans available, the loans end up causing more stress than necessary because the interest on those loans becomes too high. The cost of higher education is lofty, and students graduating from the University face sky-high student loan debts. To expound this, nationally, the number of masters’ and Ph.D. recipients on food stamps increased nearly 200 percent from 2008 to 2011, signaling that an increase in loans available to students to cover these shortfalls is not an acceptable solution. It’s time for the University to address this population as a vital part of this world class research university. If the University can’t find a way to give this essential workforce the wages necessary for even basic living costs, how can it expect to remain a world class institution? The simple answer: It can’t. The University needs to stop nursing and defending this broken system and instead build a new one — one that works for its students instead of against them.

stances on issues. In addition to giving biographical and background information on the candidates, the Election Center will give the facts on certain issues, like immigration, and then it will outline both Obama’s and Romney’s plans for that particular issue. It is also helpful to read the opinions pages in newspapers. Columns have a way of breaking issues down and making them understandable, whereas the objectivity of news pieces can be hard to comprehend. Be it the Chicago Tribune, The New York Times or even The Daily Illini, read a variety of columns to get a mix of opinions on different issues and candidates. I would not suggest getting your information from the candidate’s websites, for publicists know how to skew statistics. They only want to show the facts that make their candidate look good. Unfortunately, it is not easy to figure out the real facts in presidential elections. Campaign ads take over, attacks on candidates become childish and small faux pas are blown out of proportion. The outcome of the first presidential debate was less than satisfactory; I did not come away with any new knowledge or interesting things to think about. As educated voters, we need to take note of this and turn to other sources for information on the election.
hat should be the criteria for students to get into college? Right off the bat, the biggest reason I think answers this question is academic merit. ACT/SAT comes after, along with personal achievement and a kick-butt essay. Yet there is another answer, one that we may not think of or may disagree with; the elephant in the room of admissions decisions, so to speak — “quota system,” or “affirmative action.” On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear the case Fisher v. University of Texas, a hearing stemmed from a case from four years ago, in which Abigail Noel Fisher was denied admission to the University of Texas. As always, people are denied admission to colleges every year. But this case is so significant because Fisher claims that her rejection was due to her skin color. Fischer is Caucasian woman. It’s important to note that universities do not — and cannot — admit students solely because of race, nor should they use a quota system, as ruled in the Grutter v. Bollinger case. For example, the University of Texas took about 80 percent of their freshman class in 2008 by taking the top 10 percent of graduates from public schools. It’s called the Top Ten Percent Law, and all the schools in Texas are doin’ it. And with the other 20 percent, other qualifications are used to admit people, and growing up in a primarily Latino neighborhood or being one-fourth Native American don’t cut it. Additional factors like academic performance and outside achievement come into play. However, the Supreme Court is still hearing the arguments in two days. And so, this case makes me nervous because it has the potential to reverse the Grutter v. Bollinger decision of 2003, which allowed colleges to use “advance racial diversity” as a criterion for admitting students. If this happens, the wave that universities have been riding — the stretch to make sure all students of different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds — may come to an end. Some people get worried when they see the words “advance racial diversity.” Visions of colleges denying white students admission dance in their head, and they get agitated when they hear that even 20 percent of students may have gotten in partially because of racial or socioeconomic factors. But I want to push this a little further. Why does a diversity plan rattle some? Instead of being exclusionary, as Fischer and some others claim, why isn’t racial diversity advancement seen as an extraordinary thing, as something that can bring positive differences to a university? What’s wrong with schools riding the wave? First of all, I don’t see the problem in taking race and socio-economic factors into consideration. (Note: I did not say that it should be the only thing considered. It’s my belief that a student should not only be labeled as “black” or “disadvantaged.”) Many students who might have had a difficult time getting into schools such as the University of Texas now have the experience of higher education and can change their life paths. But having a diverse pool doesn’t just help minority applicants. As I’ve written before, having a variety of different students on a college campus teaches students about different lifestyles. As long as there is no set quota involved (because, let’s face it, having a strict number set for admissions for minorities doesn’t necessarily mean there will magically be diversity), having a melting pot is good for all students. It enhances intellectual and social growth and makes students aware that the world is bigger than just them. On Wednesday, I hope the Supreme Court takes this into consideration and doesn’t do anything that may reverse colleges’ reasoning to admit a diverse group of students. Not because I believe race is the only factor, but because I support universities’ push to make sure all groups of people are represented in the higher education pool. It’s time to take a look at the elephant in the room.

Many factors to consider when assessing political candidates on Election Day JOSEPH VANDEHEY Opinions columnist
S
ome days, trying to make any sense of the state of educational science is an exercise in hairpulling frustration. The studies, counter-studies and meta-studies all loop back in on themselves like the art of M.C. Escher, never moving significantly toward a single outcome. In a moment of quintessential serendipity, I arrived home after writing last week’s column on educational politics to find a copy of American Educator in my mailbox, with a cover story on “How to Tell Good Science from Bad” in education. The article (available for free online) offers a method for evaluating a marketplace of techniques and devices that purport to improve the quality of teaching. Despite its focus on educators, it still has some good general advice, and it made me think that the average voter — possibly like you, dear reader — could benefit from some tips on how to quickly evaluate educational topics in politics. So here goes. First, realize that names do not mean as much in educational science. Politicians like to list supporters with impressive awards or titles, but even for high-information voters, telling the experts from the crackpots can be difficult. Educational science has not yet coalesced around authoritative, respected groups the same way the medical community has around, say, the American Medical Association. In general, give the least credence to advocacy groups. Their job is to bring attention to neglected topics, not to act as authority, and they can blind themselves to the flaws in their own arguments. Teachers, down in
the trenches of education, are a more reliable source, particularly at pointing out which techniques will fail without question. But in general the best sources are reliable journalists and researchers from well-known universities. Think about it this way: If the only people a politician can get to support their ideas are advocacy groups whose job it is to sell those same ideas, be wary. Next, stay sharp for one-size-fitsall solutions. As Daniel T. Willingham, the author of the American Educator article, says, “(The) selfevident solution — take what works one place and implement it elsewhere — is a notorious flop. Successes depend on many factors that are hard to replicate.” When a politician says that a program has had great success in a particular city, it may have been tested at a mere dozen (all fairly similar) schools. And even if it counted a large number of schools, do we really expect the educational challenges facing the New York boroughs to be the same challenges facing rural Kentucky? The challenges facing a low-income school to be the same challenges facing an affluent school? For that matter, the challenges facing a math class to be the same challenges facing a history class across the hall? Each school is different. More importantly, each student is different. Nothing — I repeat, nothing — will work for everyone. In education, one-size-fits-all will often fit just one. As a sub-point here, also stay sharp for 100 percent guarantees of success. I have read through many scientific articles, and even the most
gung-ho advocate of a policy will acknowledge that there are cases where it fails. Politicians who refuse to even acknowledge that possibility are selling snake oil. Also, avoid us-versus-them frames. In education, many groups — teachers, administrators, parents and the students themselves — each get blamed in turn for being the source of all educational woes. Do not believe it. Teachers are not lazy. Administrators are not greedy. Parents are not neglectful. Students are not stupid. Each of these groups has an important role to play and requires assistance from everyone else. If, after the above advice has been used, you still feel unsure about a policy, ask a teacher what they think. Much of politics relies on making you, the voter, think the way a politician wants you to. So seek out a quick second opinion. Odds are, if you are reading this, you are on campus and see a teacher at least twice a day. Stop by after class and ask them if they think a particular idea would be effective. It might only take a minute of your time. None of this advice will guarantee you make the right decision; short of spending six years to get your Ph.D. in educational science, few things could guarantee that. So, as a last piece of advice, I will ask you to do the same thing on Election Day that I ask my students to do the day of their final: Get plenty of sleep and have a good breakfast in the morning.
Teachers are not lazy. Administrators are not greedy. Parents are not neglectful. Students are not stupid.

First presidential debate: More of a performance than clarification of issues KIRSTEN KELLER Opinions columnist
L
ast Wednesday, I sat down to watch the presidential debate between President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney with every intention of writing this column about something interesting that was discussed. However, I am writing now in contempt. What the nation watched on Wednesday evening was not an intelligent exchange of plans and ideals, but an endless loop of “he said, she said” and references to conflicting studies. Many debates in the history of presidential elections have been pointless or swung by unimportant matters. The outcome of the first televised presidential debate in 1960, which featured John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, was based largely off the public’s perception of the candidates’ appearances. Kennedy, a fresh young senator, appeared clean-cut and polished while Nixon sweat nervously and looked sickly. Similarly, the incumbent and candidate that stood before the lecterns last week at the University of Denver gave more of a performance rather than a game-changing debate of policy: Watchers could not judge the truth of the facts that were spewed out. Both Romney and Obama were
consistently on the offensive and Obama was continuously submissive. The most interesting and concrete point that made me snap out of my stupor was when Romney said he would cut funding to PBS, although admittedly he was a fan of Big Bird. The media has now blown this out of proportion, for it was the only interesting thing from the debate that could be latched on to and discussed. Where I thought I would get a lot of clarifying information about which candidate stood for which issues, I received a confusing tidal wave of everything I’ve already seen in the papers. While I have hopes that the next presidential debate will be an actual discussion of ideas, I do not want to count on it. In the meantime, I will turn to other means of finding out what each candidate stands for. When deciding who to vote for in an election, it is vitally important to have your own opinions about each issue and know how they match up with each candidate. One great website to find out which candidate you agree with on several issues is iSideWith.com. First, you will take a quiz that asks you your opinions on issues such as domestic and foreign policy, the economy and the environment. Then, the website will show you what percentage of issues you agreed on for each candidate in the election, as well as list out which issues you agreed on and which you didn’t. The Election Center on CNN’s Politics web page is also a great way to compare Obama’s and Romney’s

Private company’s 2nd space launch declared successful BY MARCIA DUNN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A commercial cargo ship rocketed into orbit Sunday in pursuit of the International Space Station, the fi rst of a dozen supply runs under a mega-contract with NASA. It was the second launch of a Dragon capsule to the orbiting lab by the California-based SpaceX company. The fi rst was last spring. This time was no test fl ight, however, and the spacecraft carried 1,000 pounds of key science experiments and other precious gear. There was also a personal touch: chocolatevanilla swirl ice cream tucked in a freezer for the three station residents. The company’s unmanned Falcon rocket roared into the night sky right on time, putting SpaceX on track to reach the space station Wednesday. The complex was soaring southwest of Tasmania when the Falcon took fl ight. Officials declared the launch a success. In more good news, a piece of space junk was no longer threatening the station, and NASA could focus entirely on the delivery mission. NASA is counting on private business to restock the space station now that the shuttles have retired to museums. The space agency has a $1.6 billion contract with SpaceX for 12 resupply missions. Especially exciting for NASA is the fact that the Dragon will return twice as much cargo as it took up, including a stockpile of astronauts’ blood and urine samples. The samples — nearly 500 of them — have been stashed in freezers since Atlantis made the last shuttle fl ight in July 2011.

The Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket lifts off from space launch complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Fla. on Sunday. The rocket is carrying supplies to the International Space Station. The Dragon will spend close to three weeks at the space station before being released and parachuting into the Pacific at the end of October. By then, the space station should be back up to a full crew of six.

In The 187-acre site in Keene, Calif, known as Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz (Our Lady Queen of Peace) served as the home and the planning center of Cesar Chavez and his farmworker movement.
Obama to designate former farmland as national monument BY GOSIA WOZNIACKA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KEENE, Calif. — Maria Ybarra’s trailer is one of two left on the property that for over two decades was home to Latino labor leader Cesar Chavez and farmworkers like Ybarra who made up his movement. Today, the foothills of the Tehachapi mountains continue to house the United Farm Workers of America headquarters and memorials to Chavez, though farmworkers no longer live there. On Monday, during a campaign swing through California, President Barack Obama will designate 105 acres of the property as a national monument within the National Park system — a move that could help shore up support from Hispanic and progressive voters before the election.
As head of the UFW, the Arizona-born Chavez staged a massive grape boycott and countless field strikes, and forced growers to sign contracts providing better pay and working conditions to the predominantly Latino farmworkers. He was credited with inspiring millions of other Latinos in their fight for more educational opportunities, better housing and more political power. The 187-acre site, known as Nuestra Senora Reina de la Paz (Our Lady Queen of Peace), or simply La Paz, served as the planning and coordination center of the UFW starting in 1971. It’s where Chavez and many organizers lived, trained and strategized before heading into the fields and cities of California and beyond. Chavez taught farmworkers how to write contracts and negotiate with growers.
“When my father came to La Paz, he was looking for a place to pull back from the daily struggles,” said Paul Chavez, Cesar’s middle son and president of the Cesar Chavez Foundation. “He had a tremendous faith that with some training and confidence, the poorest and least educated among us could take on the biggest industry in the state.” Ybarra still remembers those times and how Chavez’s movement coalesced around the property that she calls home. Several hundred adults and children were housed at La Paz throughout the 1970s and 80s, Ybarra and her husband Miguel Ybarra among them, most in trailers on the hillside and in dorms. Kids played among the oak trees, while adults worked. “It was a lot of noise,” Ybarra said.
Libyan parliament ousts Gadhafi’s successor in no-confidence vote BY ESAM MOHAMED THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRIPOLI, Libya — Libya’s parliament ousted the country’s new prime minister in a no-confidence vote on Sunday, the latest blow to hopes that political factions could agree on a government charged with restoring stability after last year’s civil war. Mustafa Abushagur was the first prime minister to be elected after the 2011 overthrow of dictator Moammar Gadhafi. He rep-
resented an offshoot of the country’s oldest anti-Gadhafi opposition movement, and was considered a compromise candidate acceptable to both liberals and Islamists. But his proposed Cabinet was struck down by a legislature representing dozens of divided tribes, towns, and regions across the country, many of whom feel they are owed the spoils of victory over Gadhafi. He was forced to withdraw his first ministerial lineup under pressure and his second
attempt to submit one resulted in his ouster. In a short statement on Libya al-Wataniya TV after the vote, Abushagur said he respected the decision made by the General National Congress as part of Libya’s democracy but warned of instability if it takes too long to elect his replacement. “There should be quickness in the election ... and formation of the government so the country does not slip into a vacuum,” he said.

Diversity question before SCOTUS
Meningitis outbreak leaves many worrying over possible infection BY BRUCE SCHREINER AND KRISTIN M. HALL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY JUSTIN POPE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — Walking across the South Mall, or scanning the football stadium’s 100,000 seats on game day, University of Texas admissions director Kedra Ishop sees how much has changed since the 1990s, when she was a black student at what was an inordinately white school. This giant flagship campus — once so slow to integrate — is now awash in color, among the most diverse in the country if not the world. The student body, like Texas, is majority-minority. At the dining hall, minority students no longer cluster together. Actually, it’s more a high-end food court now, and many tables are racial mosaics — white, black, Hispanic, Asian. So is this the “critical mass” of minority students that U.S. Supreme Court narrowly endorsed in 2003 as an educational goal important enough to allow colleges to factor the race of applicants into admissions decisions? That question will be front and center Wednesday when a more conservative Supreme Court revisits affirmative action for the first time since that landmark case nine years ago involving the University of Michigan. This time, it’s Texas defending the use of race in admissions, fighting a discrimination lawsuit from Abigail Fisher, a rejected white applicant. As it happens, the court’s decision will affect relatively few students at Texas, which admits most students through a system that doesn’t factor in race. But a broad ruling rolling back affirmative action could be an earthquake at other campuses
ERIC GAY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
University of Texas at Austin senior Kristin Thompson poses on the campus Thursday. Although the University of Texas is one of the most diverse in the country, Thompson says she is one of just two black female civil engineers in her class, despite aggressive recruiting. She’s found her community outside class, but her academic experience has been lonely. “At UT we talk about what starts here changes the world, but I think we’re doing a disservice to students by not preparing them for a world that doesn’t have these demographics,” she said. across the country that make more still short of critical mass.

to examine students in their completeness that we can get back there very quickly.” Such arguments sound mushy to UT’s opponents, who call the school’s goals for critical mass a quota in disguise. They say the university has gone too far using race in admissions, abusing the discretion the court granted colleges to define critical mass for themselves. History isn’t central to the legal issues in the affirmative action debate, but it’s an issue at UT-Austin. “It was very seldom three or more were gathered,” said Machree Gibson, who arrived on campus in 1978, earned two degrees and later became the fi rst black female president of the Texas Exes, the university’s powerful alumni group. “We used to joke, ‘Three in a room, we’re a gang.’” Today, even a short drive through campus leaves Gibson amazed how things have changed. But UT still doesn’t look like Texas. Of its 52,000 students, 5 percent are black (compared to 12 percent of the state population). Hispanics are 18 percent at UT (38 percent statewide) and Asians 15 percent (4 percent statewide).
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Patsy Bivins tossed and turned all night after finding out the steroid shot she received to ease her chronic back pain could instead threaten her life. For now, all the 68-year-old retired waitress can do is hope she doesn’t develop the telltale signs of a rare form of fungal meningitis that health officials say has sickened more than 60 people in nine states: a splitting headache, fever, stiff neck, difficulty walking or worsening back pain. There may be hundreds or even thousands more like her. She called her doctors Friday, right after her first cup of coffee, hoping to relieve the anxiety stirred a day earlier when she learned she might be at risk. Bivins was told only that she didn’t need to be checked unless she developed symptoms. “I’m not sure if I like it,” Bivins, of Sturgis, Ky., said Friday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “Seems like there should be some way to tell it before you get the symptoms. Honestly, it makes me worse than I was.” Federal health officials say seven people have died so far, and they fear thousands more could have been exposed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said the outbreak may have been caused by a steroid made by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts, where inspectors found at least one sealed vial that was contaminated. It’s not yet clear how the fungus got into the steroid, which is commonly used to treat back pain. But officials have told health professionals not to use anything made by the pharmacy. So far, the government has identified about 75 facilities in 23 states that received the recalled doses. It is not yet clear exactly

how many people could get sick, though health officials say the fungus is not transmitted from person to person. The CDC has called for clinics and doctors to immediately identify those who could have been exposed between July 1 and Sept. 28. It could be weeks before any of the patients are in the clear. “Sure I’m apprehensive, but there’s not a thing I can do except wait and see what happens,” said Richard Jenkins, an 81-year-old from Nashville who received his most recent shot Sept. 11 at the Saint Thomas Outpatient Neurology Surgery Center. The chief medical officer for the Tennessee Department of Health said Friday the incubation period for the disease isn’t yet known and he advised at-risk patients to be vigilant for symptoms for weeks. “A month is the shortest we’d possibly want to consider that. We’re looking at a longer period of time before we’d feel confident that somebody is out of the woods,” Dr. David Reagan said. The company at the center of the outbreak, the New England Compounding Center, had been investigated by Massachusetts regulators in 2006. That led to an agreement for a full inspection of its drug compounding practices, including sterility. A spokesman for NECC said the company would have no further comment Friday. It has previously said that it is cooperating with health investigators to determine the source of the infections. Bivins, a widow who lives in western Kentucky about an hour from Evansville, Ind., received two injections in her lower back on Aug. 27. She said she doesn’t blame the doctors — they were just trying to help her, not knowing the steroid could have been contaminated. For now, she tries to pass the time by arranging things in the apartment she moved into a few days ago.

Illinois hockey sweeps ACHA Showcase
ILLINI DRIVE
‘WE JUST DIDN’T EXECUTE’ Illinois loses 5-set matches to Ohio State, Penn State in 0-2 weekend
Illini go 3-for-3 with top 25 teams BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER
SPPRI NGF I EL D, Ill. — Three different opponents, three wins. The Illinois hockey team played some of its best hockey this year during the annual ACHA Showcase, with two wins coming against ranked opponents in the ACHA top 25 . Illinois kicked off the showcase Friday afternoon with a 5-4 win over Western Michigan. The Illini controlled play for most of the first period, taking a 2-0 lead behind goals from senior forward Scott Barrera and freshman John Olen . The Broncos quickly evened things up, scoring two goals within the first five minutes of the second period. Illinois’ Barrera was able to give the team a lead later in the period, and the Illini never looked back. Freshman Kevin Chowaniec and senior Chad Himley padded the lead with goals of their own, denying the Broncos’ efforts to tie the game late. Saturday’s matchup against No. 17 Stony Brook proved to be a much tougher test for Illinois. The Illini found themselves down 2-1 late in the game after allowing a power-play goal early in the second period. Senior forward Nick Stuercke found a seam in the Seawolves’ defense, knotting up the score with under two minutes left in the game to force overtime . T he I l li ni used thei r newfound momentum to take a stranglehold on the game in the extra period, as Stuercke was able to net the game-winner with 85 seconds left. Illinois did not allow a single shot on net in overtime. T he I l l i ni closed the sh owc a s e in d o m i n a nt fashion by defeating No. 12 Davenport . Senior forward Jonathon Sakellaropoulos put

STAFF WRITER
fter back-to-back games on the cusp of victory, the Illinois volleyball team came away with its fi rst winless weekend of the season, falling to 8-8 with losses against No. 19 Ohio State and No. 1 Penn State at Huff Hall in a pair of five-set matches. The dramatic tension was at a fever pitch Saturday when the Illini had the top team on the nation down to its fi nal point, up 14-10 in the fi fth set. Showing complete poise under pressure, the Nittany Lions hammered home two kills before blocking two Ali Stark kill attempts to knot the contest at 14. After a back-andforth sequence, a Deja McClendon kill made good on Penn State’s third match point. “We just didn’t execute,” Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly said of his team’s performance after going up 14-10. “It felt like we were in control of our own destiny, we just didn’t execute. It didn’t feel like they were coming at us, at least from our standpoint.” A couple of late blocks by Penn State just barely found the line, causing Huff Hall to erupt as though the game was theirs, but in the end, the
Nittany Lions stole the win away — which was a familiar feeling for the Orange and Blue. Friday, facing an Ohio State team ranked two spots above them, the Illini jumped out to a two-set lead over the Buckeyes. Liz McMahon was stellar for Illinois in Friday’s match, hitting a game- and career-high 23 kills at a .357 rate. Ohio State pulled away in the third set to keep the game alive, then blew out Illinois in the fourth set 25-15, setting up a fi fth set with the pressure on the home Illini. Illinois lost the set despite hitting .583, something that had libero Jennifer Beltran at a loss for words after the match. “I don’t know,” the junior California native said after a pause. “I think that’s something we have to figure out. We haven’t figured it out yet.” It was the fi rst time since Sept. 17, 2010, that Illinois lost after attaining a 2-0 set lead and the fi rst time the Huff Hall faithful had seen that happen on their home court since Kevin Hambly took over as head coach in 2009. “Obviously we’re not gonna let it affect us, but we have to take away certain things from certain matches to keep progressing and getting
to where we want to be at the end,” Beltran said. Illinois bounced back from Friday’s disappointment and started Saturday’s match with a set victory to take a 1-0 lead over Penn State. The Nittany Lions came out with a ferocious attack in the second set, however, and got out to a 21-10 lead before winning the set 25-18. It was Illinois that jumped out to a lead in the third set, spotting itself a 9-3 advantage. Penn State counterpunched with an 18-8 stretch that put it in a position to win the set, doing so to take a 2-1 advantage. Illinois started strong again in the fourth set, putting itself ahead 16-8, and though Penn State fought back, the Illini never allowed the Nittany Lions a lead and closed the set 26-24. “I liked the way we attacked them when we attacked them,” Hambly said. “But ... we’re not in it to lose. We wanted to beat Penn State and believed that we could, obviously. “If we lose, we’re gonna be disappointed. I don’t care how we play, we’re gonna be disappointed because we feel like we should be able to compete with every team.”
“If we lose, we’re gonna be disappointed. I don’t care how we play, we’re gonna be disappointed because we feel like we should be able to compete with every team.” KEVIN HAMBLY, head coach

Illinois’ run game, Young struggle
Defensive problems persist for Illini football in 2nd half
Scheelhaase has best rushing performance of season with 84 yards
BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER
BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER
MADISON, Wis. — After entertaining questions from reporters, Donovonn Young took a look at the box score from Illinois’ 31-14 loss to Wisconsin, shook his head and sighed. The sophomore running back’s stat line read four carries for 5 yards. His counterpart, freshman Josh Ferguson, didn’t fare much better, mustering 11 yards on seven carries as the Illini suffered yet another big loss. “We’ve just got to depend on each other,” Young said “We’re all brothers in this. We’ve got to keep everybody’s spirits high.” Young said earlier this week that he’d like to see more carries after receiving just six against Penn State, but the Illinois running backs have struggled to generate consistent production all season. Young has 222 yards and two touchdowns through six games this year and Ferguson has 170 yards with no scores. Illinois is second-to-last in the Big Ten in rushing. “We’re getting beat up front a little bit, and that makes it harder to run,” co-offensive coordinator Chris Beatty said. “We weren’t really able to get any double teams up front and get any movement. They’ve got some really big guys up there, so we tried to get it on the edge, which worked a little bit, but that limits you.”
MICHAEL BOJDA THE DAILY ILLINI
Donovonn Young (5) returns a kick during Saturday’s game against Wisconsin. Young netted just 5 yards in four carries. Illinois managed 106 yards on the ground against Wisconsin, but most of that production came from quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, who ran for 84 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries — both designed runs and scrambles. After suffering an ankle sprain in the season opener, Scheelhaase said he’s 100 percent healthy and had his best rushing performance of the season. “I felt like I was back to normal,” Scheelhaase said. “I think they’ll have to play more sound, play their gaps a little better because at times today, they were just flowing to our running backs, and that’s where I got lose on a few of them.”
Scheelhaase was Illinois’ leading rusher last season with 624 yards and six touchdowns and was second in 2010 with 868 and five scores. When healthy, the junior quarterback adds a dimension to the offense with his legs that was lacking during the first five games this season. “Nate moved well and ran the ball well, gave us a chance to move the ball there some,” Beatty said. “We’ve just got to be able to make some plays to help him out and he’s got to make some plays to help us out. ... There’s a long way to go for us to be where we need to be.”

Hawthorne OK after leaving field on stretcher MADISON, Wis. — With just under eight remaining in the third quarter of Saturday’s game, the Illini got their biggest injury scare of the season. Senior corner back Terry Hawthorne took a hard hit in an attempt to tackle Badgers fullback Derek Watts along the Illinois sideline. Hawthorne went down hard and remained on the field for several minutes before he was strapped to a stretcher and carried off the field in an ambulance. Illinois head coach Tim
Beckman said after the game that Hawthorne’s CT scan came back negative and he left Madison on the flight home with his teammates. “He’s definitely in our prayers, and our thoughts are with him and his family,” safety Steve Hull said. “We got some good news already that he’s OK. ... He’s doing well.” Amid a silenced crowd, Illini players surrounded Hawthorne, kneeling along the east sideline as medical personnel attended to him. Hawthorne gave the a crowd thumbs-up as he was transported into the ambulance.
MADISON, Wis. — In a matchup between the two worst offenses in the Big Ten, Illinois’ defense ran out of gas in the second half against Montee Ball and the Wisconsin offense. The Illini kept the game close well into the third quarter, but Ball and wide receiver Jared Abbrederis exposed weaknesses in the Illinois defense. “As a defense, we’ve got to stop giving up big plays because that’s what’s hurting us,” defensive lineman Akeem Spence said. “We’ve got to cut that out because we know that lowers our morale and the team morale a little bit.” The Illini held their fi rst lead, 7-0, since losing to Louisiana Tech on Sept. 22 when Badgers quarterback Joel Stave found running back James White on a screen pass that White ran 62 yards for a game-tying touchdown. Illinois went to the locker room at halftime tied 7-7 having held Wisconsin standout Ball to just 12 rushing yards. But Ball would have the remainder of his 116 rushing yards in the second half, including two touchdowns. With the Badgers leading 17-7 early in the fourth quarter and the game still within reach, Stave hit Abbrederis

Detroit wins game 2 of American League series BY NOAH TRISTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Al Alburquerque reached out and snagged a sharp grounder to the mound — then planted a little kiss on the ball before tossing it to first. The relieved reliever gave his Detroit teammates a reason to laugh in ninth inning of a tight game. Moments later, the Tigers were celebrating. Don Kelly scored the tying run on a wild pitch in the eighth, then hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth that lifted the Tigers over the Oakland Athletics 5-4 Sunday for a 2-0 lead in their AL playoff series. Detroit overcame three A’s leads and seesawed to victory. It was 1-all before a wild final three innings that included a key error by Oakland center fielder Coco Crisp, two game-tying wild pitches and several momentum changes. Alburquerque kept it tied in the ninth when he got Yoenis Cespedes to hit a comebacker with men on first and third and two outs. He gave the ball a quick smooch before throwing underhand to first. “I just did it,” he said. “It was the emotion of the game. I wasn’t trying to be a hot dog.” Oakland outfielder Josh Reddick wasn’t thrilled. “We didn’t appreciate that. I thought it was immature and not very professional,” Reddick said. “You don’t do that on the field. Save it for the dugout. That’s all I’m going to say.” Detroit will go for a sweep of the division series matchup in Game 3 on Tuesday at Oakland. Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera doubled twice for the Tigers, hit a fly ball that Crisp dropped for two runs and later singled in the ninth. It was the sixth straight postseason loss for the A’s, all to Detroit. The Tigers swept Oakland in the 2006 AL championship series, winning the series on Magglio Ordonez’s homer in Game 4 — which was Detroit’s last sudden-death postseason win before Sunday. Omar Infante and Cabrera hit back-to-back singles off Grant Balfour with one out in the ninth.
With runners on first and third, Prince Fielder was intentionally walked, bringing up Kelly, who had stayed in the game as the designated hitter after pinch-running the previous inning. “Was looking for a fastball and I got it,” Kelly said. “It’s a great feeling, to be able to go out there in that situation and do that.” Kelly’s fly to right was plenty deep enough to score Infante without a play at the plate. It was another big playoff moment for Kelly, who hit a home run last year when the Tigers beat the New York Yankees in the decisive fifth game of the division series. A favorite of manager Jim Leyland, Kelly hit .186 during the regular season but made the postseason roster as a pinch-running option who can also play any position in the field. “It takes everybody to contribute and we got contributions from everybody,” Leyland said. Alburquerque missed most of the season after offseason surgery on his throwing elbow. He came on to face Cespedes with the Tigers in a jam, and that one out was enough to earn him the win. And the right-hander entertained his teammates in the process with a bit of, um, comic relief. “We were cracking up in the dugout,” Detroit pitcher Max Scherzer said. “We were like, ‘Did he really just kiss the ball?’ ... Alburquerque does some crazy things on the mound.” It was tied at four after both teams made their share of mistakes in the seventh and eighth. Cliff Pennington gave the A’s the lead with an RBI single in the seventh, but Crisp dropped Cabrera’s two-out flyball in the bottom half, allowing two runs to score. Oakland tied it in the eighth on a wild pitch by Joaquin Benoit, and Reddick followed with a solo homer to give the A’s a 4-3 lead. Then it was Ryan Cook’s turn to throw a tying wild pitch, allowing Kelly to score. Pennington nearly came through again for Oakland in the ninth, but his deep drive down the left-field line was just foul.

Nationals defeat Cardinals despite playoff inexperience BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Daniel Descalso (33) throws to first but cannot complete the double play after forcing Washington Nationals’ Ian Desmond out at second during the fourth inning of Game 1 of the National League division baseball series on Sunday in St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS — Rookies in the postseason, the Washington Nationals played like poised veterans. The Nationals escaped a basesloaded jam in the seventh inning, pinch hitter Tyler Moore blooped a two-out, two-run single in the eighth and Washington beat the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Sunday in an NL playoff opener. The Nationals, who had never come close to making the playoffs since moving from Montreal for the 2005 season, overcame a wild start by 21-game winner Gio Gonzalez. Reliever Ryan Mattheus needed just two pitches to bail out the Nationals in the seventh with St. Louis ahead 2-1. Tyler Clippard worked around an error in the
eighth and Drew Storen saved it with a 1-2-3 ninth. The NL East champion Nationals led the majors with 98 wins this season, and brought postseason baseball to Washington for the first time since 1933. The Nats go for a 2-0 series lead Monday when Jordan Zimmermann opposes Jaime Garcia. The Cardinals made it to the best-of-five division series by beating Atlanta in the wild-card matchup Friday. But St. Louis wasted a 10-strikeout gem by Adam Wainwright, failing to capitalize enough on Gonzalez’s career high-tying seven walks and frustrating its towel-waving fans. A standing room crowd of 47,078, among the largest at 7-year-old Busch Stadium, bundled up for a game that began in 54-degree chill and featured
kaleidoscope late-afternoon shadows that bedeviled hitters for several innings. Rookie shortstop Pete Kozma misplayed Michael Morse’s grounder for an error to open the eighth and set up the Nationals’ go-ahead rally. Ian Desmond followed with a single off Mitchell Boggs for his third hit of the game, putting runners at the corners. Danny Espinsoa sacrificed, leaving runners at second and third, and Kurt Suzuki struck out. In a series of moves, the Nationals sent up Chad Tracy to pinch hit, the Cardinals switched to lefty Marc Rzepczynski and Washington subbed in Moore, who had two of their three pinch homers this season. Moore poked an outside pitch to right field and both runners scored easily.
Sandusky likely to be sentenced to life in prison Former coach will likely face heavy restrictions, few privileges, wide notoriety in Penn. prison BY MARK SCOLFORO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Jerry Sandusky will walk into state prison with little more than a watch and wedding band. He’ll be able to work a 30-hour week to make a few dollars. He’ll be able to watch Penn State football but not violent movies. If the former Penn State defensive coach is sentenced Tuesday to a long state prison term, he will find himself far removed from the comfortable suburban life he once led, placed under the many rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. Even Sandusky’s own attorney believes that whatever sentence he gets, at age 68 Sandusky will likely live out his days inside a state prison. Prison officials, written policies and former offenders provided a detailed look to The Associated Press about the regimented life behind bars that Sandusky faces. Sandusky has been housed in isolation inside the Centre County Correctional Facility in Bellefonte since his conviction in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse, and he has spent his days reading and writing, preparing a statement for sentencing and working out twice a day, defense attorney Joe Amendola said. “Jerry is a very likable guy — he gets along with everybody,” Amendola said last week, as he worked with Sandusky to help get his affairs in order, including a power of attorney and updated will. “He’s a model inmate. He doesn’t cause problems, he’s sociable, he’s pleasant.” Assuming Judge John Cleland gives him at least two years — the minimum threshold for a state prison sentence — Sandusky’s first stop will be the Camp Hill state prison near Harrisburg, where all male inmates undergo a couple weeks of testing to determine such things as mental and physical health, education level and any treatment needs. Prison officials will assign him a security level risk and decide which “home prison” to send him to. Although Sandusky’s home in the Lemont area of State College is only a couple miles from Rockview state prison, there is no way to predict where he will end up. Older inmates sometimes end up at Laurel Highlands, which can better treat more severe medical problems, or Waymart, a comparatively
lower-security prison in the state’s northeastern corner. The roughly 6,800 sex offenders are scattered throughout the prison system, which has no special units for them. Treatment is available for sex offenders, and those who hope to be paroled must participate. “My guess is he’ll wind up in a minimumsecurity facility and probably a facility for nonviolent people,” Amendola said. A convicted sex offender who spent 10 years in prison, and who works with other released sex offenders through the Pennsylvania Prison Society, said Sandusky won’t be able to keep a low profile. The state will provide him with clothes, shoes and bedding, and the first set of toiletries. He’ll be able to bring a wedding ring without gemstones, a basic watch worth $50 or less, eyeglasses and dentures. Sandusky uses a machine for sleep apnea and takes medications. State prison menus rotate monthly, and two of the three daily meals are hot. Exercise rules vary, but inmates generally spend an hour or more a day in the yard, which might entail walking, playing ball or lifting weights. If he’s at a prison that allows baseball or softball, the bat has to be tethered and secured to the backstop. In the kitchen, knives also are tethered. Inmates can buy a television with a 13-inch screen for their cells, at a cost of about $275, with prison-designed programming of about 15 channels that costs some $15 a month. The channels include the networks but no R-rated movies or shows with a lot of violence. He’ll be able to watch college football, including Penn State, when the games are broadcast on ESPN or another major network. “A lot of guys live for it,” said the man who works with released sex offenders. “Football season is huge.” Sandusky, a regular attendee at a Methodist church in State College, will be able to go to religious services. Most Pennsylvania prison cells are designed for two people, but it’s possible he could end up in his own cell or in a small dormitory. Visiting rules vary by institution, but all visits last at least an hour, and facilities generally allow two or three visits per week, with five to eight visitors allowed at once. Inmates can have up to 40 people on their visiting list.

Jurors not second-guessing verdict, want long sentence BY MARK SCOLFORO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Jerry Sandusky should be sent to prison for life when a judge sentences him Tuesday, according to several of the jurors who convicted the former Penn State assistant coach of molesting several boys over a period of years. None of the jurors interviewed by The Associated Press said they have had second thoughts about their June verdict, and several plan to attend the sentencing. “There isn’t a sentence that I believe is harsh enough for what he has done and how it has affected the university,” said Joan Andrews, a juror who has worked for Penn State for 41 years and held football season tickets since 1969. “I don’t think there’s been one individual in this entire campus that has not been affected by this.” Four jurors said they plan to be in the courtroom when Sandusky, 68, learns the penalty for sexually abusing boys he met through a charity for at-risk children. Sandusky’s own attorney expects
his client to be handed a long sentence from Judge John Cleland after conviction on 45 counts. Although a list of jurors has not been released by Cleland, the AP was able to contact five of them. They said they recently received a letter from the court informing them about the sentencing and offering to have a court official meet them outside the courthouse. A court system spokesman said the jurors are guaranteed a seat but won’t necessarily be sitting together. Only one of the five, retired Penn State soil sciences professor Daniel D. Fritton, said he would not attend. “I’d just like to stay out of the limelight, for one thing,” Fritton said. “I figure I could read in the paper what happens.” Gayle Barnes, a homemaker and former school district employee, said she thinks a lot about the victims, particularly the eight who testified against Sandusky and provided what she considers the critical evidence of guilt. She said he deserves life in prison.

Vikings steal win from Titans on Minnesota soil BY DAVE CAMPBELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Percy Harvin found more ways to give Minnesota a lift. The Vikings are sure soaring right now. Harvin pounded his way through Tennessee’s defense for one touchdown rushing and another receiving in helping the Vikings keep up their commanding start to the season with a 30-7 victory over the Titans on Sunday. Harvin caught eight passes for
108 yards for the Vikings (4-1), who have given up a combined 33 points in winning three straight games. Christian Ponder threw his first two interceptions after 143 attempts without one this year, but he still finished 25 for 35 for 258 yards and two scores against the reeling Titans (1-4). Adrian Peterson charged his way for 88 yards on 17 carries for the Vikings, a stark contrast to the 24 yards Chris Johnson managed
on 15 tries, often stutter-stepping at the line, trying fruitlessly to find room. Once again, the Titans couldn’t keep handing their franchise runner the ball because they fell too far behind. Matt Hasselbeck, starting in place of the injured Jake Locker, went 26 for 43 for 200 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Most of those gains came near the end of the game with the outcome no longer in doubt.
Ponder didn’t complete a pass longer than 29 yards in any of the first four games, but the Vikings scored first on a drive fueled by the long throw that’s been missing. Ponder floated a perfect pass up the sideline to Harvin, who hauled in the ball in man-to-man coverage for a 45-yard gain. Harvin took an inside handoff and pounded his way into the end zone four plays later from 4 yards out.
Ponder was picked off by Rob Johnson right in front of the goal line at the end of the second quarter and again by Jason Babineaux on the first play of the second half, and with a healthy two-possession lead he settled for low-risk throws for most of the rest of the game. Except early in the fourth quarter, when he fired a 15-yard pass in double coverage that sure-handed tight end Kyle Rudolph hauled in to give the Vikings their high-
est score of the season. After finishing 9-7 in coach Mike Munchak’s first season and missing the playoffs by a tiebreaker, the Titans have regressed in year two. They entered the game with a league-most 151 points allowed, and for all the good their two turnovers did their tackling was befitting of a team that was second-to-last in the NFL in yardage allowed through the first quarter of the season.
Manning’s new uniform doesn’t threaten Brady in 13th meeting BY HOWARD ULMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady and Peyton Manning were both solid in their latest showdown. As usual, Brady beat him even though Manning was in a new uniform. In the 13th meeting between the star quarterbacks, and first since Manning joined the Denver Broncos, Brady directed four scoring marches of at least 80 yards and the Patriots won 31-21 on Sunday. Brady improved to 9-4 against Manning, who left the Indianapolis Colts after last season. Brady completed 23 of 31 passes for 223 yards and one touchdown and ran for another. Manning was 31 of 44 for 345 yards and three touchdowns but lost a fumble on a third-quarter sack. The fumble led to Stevan Rid-
ley’s 8-yard run that put the Patriots (3-2) ahead 31-7 with about five minutes left in the third quarter. Ridley led the Patriots with a career-high 151 yards rushing. Manning then threw touchdown passes of 2 yards to Eric Decker and 5 yards to Brandon Stokley but Denver (2-3) lost a fumble with 3:42 remaining. The Patriots set a franchise record with 35 first downs as they kept their offense rolling one week after gaining 580 yards, 247 on the ground, in a 52-28 rout of the Buffalo Bills. The Broncos sputtered after beating the Oakland Raiders 37-6. Brady and Manning first faced each other in the third game of the 2001 season. The Patriots won 44-13 in Brady’s first career start. There were plenty of close games in subsequent regularseason matchups with six of the

previous seven decided by seven points or less. Sunday’s outcome was different, although Manning brought the Broncos back from a 24-point deficit in the second half. The Patriots led 17-7 at halftime and 31-7 after three quarters. Brady and his runners kept slicing through the Denver defense with a balanced attack. The Patriot even got key plays from their backup running backs. Brandon Bolden had a 24-yard gain on the series leading to Gostkowski’s field goal. On that same drive, Danny Woodhead gained 25 yards on a pass from Brady on a third-and-14 play from the Broncos 11. Woodhead kept another drive going in the third quarter with a 19-yard rush on third-and-17 at the Patriots 43. That series ended with Brady’s touchdown dive.

ADISON, Wis. — Nearly midway through the third quarter of Saturday’s football game, Wisconsin and Illinois were knotted at seven in a game that had been surprisingly close to that point. Then Illini cornerback Terry Hawthorne lunged at the Badgers’ Derek Watt and stayed on the ground motionless. Upon contact, the violence of the hit consumed the crowd with an instant hush like a dark cloud on a sunny day. After medical attention came on the field, an ambulance was brought out and an immobilized Hawthorne was carried away, though not without the traditional thumbs-up. When play resumed, the Badgers’ drive eventually paved the way for kicker Kyle French to convert a 46-yard field goal. That drive and the following three resulted in 24 points for Wisconsin and another physically dominating defeat for the Illini in Big Ten play, making it their fourth blowout loss of the season.
Injuries have been the theme this season for Tim Beckman’s squad, something he has to acknowledge every week, even saying once that he’s never been around a team that has been as hurt as this season’s Illinois team. The injury Hawthorne suffered Saturday may be the one to put this team over the edge. Hawthorne is not only one of the veteran leaders on this defense, but the manner in which he got hurt appeared to suck the life out of this team. The fight that had the two teams tied at halftime seemed to evaporate after that hit. After holding running back Montee Ball to just 16 rushing yards on six carries, last year’s Heisman Trophy finalist exploded for 100 yards and two touchdowns in the second half. It was his punishing attack in the second half that put a charge back into the home crowd, opened up the passing game on Jared Abbrederis’ 59-yard touchdown catch, in which he streaked through the secondary and was wide open, to seal the victory for the Badgers. Wisconsin’s offense racked up 427 yards, which was its highest output this season.
One of few positives for the Illini was quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase’s increased mobility — a part of his health that hasn’t been seen since the opening weekend against Western Michigan. His 84 rushing yards were the most he’s had since last season’s bowl victory over UCLA , but the 16 yards combined by Illinois’ two running backs is what everyone remembers. With six games remaining and only two victories, a third consecutive bowl appearance that appeared all but guaranteed before the season seems to fade as each week brings another injury and another defeat. The bye week is in sight, but Michigan at the Big House is next up for Illinois. And the Wolverines also feature another Big Ten standout — Denard Robinson — looking to right his season. Every team sustains injuries, but the frequency in which the Illini experience them continues to doom this season.

HOCKEY FROM PAGE 1B Illinois up early and it never looked back. Barrera, Stuercke and Chowaniec again made appearances on the score sheet for Illinois in what head coach Nick Fabbrini said was the most impressive showing of the weekend. “Davenport is one of the best teams we’ll face all year,” he said. “Winning 5-1 over a team of that caliber shows that we have what it takes to be one of the top teams in the nation.” Leading the Illini onslaught was Barrera, who notched three goals to go along with three assists on the weekend. Barrera attributed his early
FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B for a 59-yard touchdown that all but sealed the game. “Right this second, it stings because we felt like we did a lot of good things, particularly early, that would give us a chance to be successful in the end,” defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t finish.” Stave carved up the Illinois secondary for 254 yards and two touchdowns. Abbrederis finished with 117 yards and a touchdown. Saturday’s game was his third straight with 100 receiving yards or more. Illinois gave up a total of 427 yards and surrendered at least 30 points for the fourth time this season. All four of those games were losses. Safety Steve Hull said many of the mistakes in the second half were because of players making bad calls on the field. “We didn’t make the right adjustments, the right checks on some of those motion and jet sweeps,” Hull said. “A lot of

I didn’t make the calls I should have.” Hull apologized to teammates and fans via Twitter after the game for a “poor performance and mental errors.” Banks couldn’t pinpoint what went wrong for the Illini in the second half. He said his defense had more energy in the first half and played with more confidence. Head coach Tim Beckman didn’t think his team responded well to adversity, letting things “snowball” after negative plays. “That’s one of our biggest issues, playing through adversity,” defensive end Michael Buchanan said. “When something bad happens on defense, if the defense gets scored on, we need the offense to step up and make a play. If the offense goes three-andout, we need the defense to step up and play. I think that’s something that we didn’t do today.”

Though the team refused to claim any moral victories, it earned the respect of the country’s best team. “My hat’s off to Illinois,” Penn State assistant coach Steve Aird said. “The team was prepared, they had a heartbreaking loss (Friday) night in a match they thought they should have won. For them to come out and battle again for five games is really impressive. It’s not really about us right now, I was really impressed how Illinois handled their business.”

Avoid gossip in sports stories by reporting on raw emotions, competition from events JAY BENSAL Sports columnist
A
full slate of NFL games, the start of playoff baseball — marked by controversy in the wild-card games — and the end of Chipper Jones’ legendary career. These are all events I was excited to read about, and I did so over the course of this past week. Two articles I came across stuck out to me. One was about UCLA football head coach Jim Mora kicking out the media midway through a practice because of a gaffe from a sports information assistant. Mora then berated the assistant. Of course, this wasn’t the only version of the story, as Los Angeles Times columnist T.J. Simers wrote the piece “At UCLA, some dignity lost in drive to succeed at football.” Where did that conclusion come from? It’s true that we live in a country that values the ability to run, jump, hit, catch, throw and win immensely. We celebrate our stars and scorn our villains. True, we live in the information age, the era of Wikipedia, a time when individuals have instant access to information that would’ve been nearly impossible to find in the past. We live with the power to consume and create our own media and content. But does this mean every tidbit, exchange or disagreement qualifies as news that’s worth reporting? Is this what sports journalism has become? The second piece was an article about a feud between ESPN analyst Michael Wilbon and Washington Post sportswriter Dan Steinberg. In the latest edition of ESPN the Magazine, Wilbon compared Washington, D.C., with other sports cities: “(Washington) doesn’t compare. No, it’s terrible. It’s not even close to New York, Philly, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, LA. It’s last.” Steinberg stepped up to defend his metropolis, and it was all downhill from there, with each publicly bashing the other for their comments. And it even turned personal. Aren’t there better ways to express these opinions? With the sports media culture what it is, sports journal-
TONY AVELAR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UCLA head coach Jim Mora argues with the referees after a call against California during a football game in Berkeley, Calif., on Saturday. This sparked a T.J. Simers column, “At UCLA, some dignity lost in drive to succeed at football.” ists, commentators and analysts have become as popular as athletes themselves. Viewers remember the faces, words and opinions of these experts. If the audience likes what you have to say, it’ll probably come back again to read your writing or watch your show, which then translates to dollars. And if what you write gives readers the inside scoop on their favorite team, even better. I watched as the Illinois volleyball team on Saturday faced top-ranked Penn State. The match came down to the wire, with Penn State snatching a victory from the jaws of defeat and leaving Huff Hall with its con-
ference record unblemished. Afterward, Illini players fought to keep the disappointment from their faces. As a fan, this is what sports truly meant to me. This was about the competition, the raw emotions and the ups and downs that come with playing at a high level. As a reporter, this was a good sports story, as opposed to unsubstantiated gossip that was being tweeted. Sports breed personalities, and those personalities sell. Quality, old-fashioned journalism will always have a market, but it can’t compete with human’s social nature — the need to be in the know or gos-
sip. In today’s sports world, everyone can have an opinion and share it, but not everyone gets paid for it. Even then, it’s hard for me to believe that these stories merit the attention. To me, a published story should be informative or at least have some value to its readers. Shouldn’t writers have to worry about setting an example, for others in their industry and for those who will be in their industry in the future? Maybe, just this once, we can refer to the old adage — no news is good news.

Bears defense takes initiative over Jaguars
Record set at marathon; Ethiopia wins both men’s, women’s races

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Chicago Bears are turning their defense into a scoring offense. Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs returned interceptions for touchdowns — their second in six days — and the Bears used stifling defense to overwhelm the Jacksonville Jaguars 41-3 Sunday. The Bears (4-1) scored 38 unanswered points, including 35 in the second half, to win their third consecutive game. The streak has everything to do with defense. Chicago has returned five interceptions for touchdowns in the last three weeks. Tillman and Briggs returned two of the team’s five interceptions
PHELAN M. EBENHACK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman (33) runs past Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew (32) after intercepting a pass for a 36-yard touchdown Sunday in Jacksonville, Fla. for touchdowns in Monday night’s 34-18 victory at Dallas. Safety Major Wright returned one the previous week against St. Louis. Tillman’s second interception return for a TD this season was the first time since 1950 that Chicago returned interceptions for touch-
downs in three consecutive games. It also proved to be the decisive ply in a game that saw as many punts (six) as points in the first half. The Jaguars (1-4) never recovered and played the final quarter amid a chorus of boos. Jacksonville now heads into its bye week.
CHICAGO — Tsegaye Kebede saw a few Ethiopian flags as he approached the finish line and figured he’d say hello. So he started waving. Kebede had plenty to celebrate in his course-record win Sunday in the Chicago Marathon. He pulled away late and was all alone, smiling to fans as he neared the finish at Grant Park and crossing the line in 2 hours, 4 minutes, 38 seconds. That easily eclipsed the previous mark of 2:05:37 set by Kenya’s Moses Mosop last year and was more than enough to beat countrymen Feyisa Lilesa (2:04:52) and Tilahun Regassa (2:05:28).
Runner suffers cardiac arrest during Chicago race Officials with the Chicago Marathon say one man suffered a cardiac arrest near the end of the race and nine others were also hospitalized. Race medical director Dr. George Chiampas says the 47-year-old man was alert and talking on Sunday after being shocked twice. He declined to say where the runner was from and “This is a great day for us, for Ethiopia, especially,” Kebede said. Atsede Baysa made it a sweep for the country with a thrilling win in the women’s race, edging
wasn’t sure if the runner had a previous heart condition. The man was reported in stable condition Sunday. The annual race winds for 26.2 miles through different Chicago neighborhoods. The runner suffered the cardiac arrest around the 21st mile. Chiampas says at least nine other runners were also been taken by ambulance with injuries or ailments, although none was lifethreatening.

Luck, Indianapolis rally to beat Green Bay Colts honor Coach Pagano by wiping out 18-point halftime deficit BY MICHAEL MAROT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — All Andrew Luck and Reggie Wayne wanted to do was honor coach Chuck Pagano the best way they knew how — by winning. The two biggest playmakers on Indy’s offense teamed up in the second half, wiping out an 18-point halftime deficit and hooking up on a 4-yard TD pass with 35 seconds left that gave the Colts a stunning 30-27 victory over Green Bay. It was a wild finish to an emotionally challenging week, and a win interim coach Bruce Arians called the greatest he’s ever been around. When the Colts returned to work Monday, following their bye, they learned Pagano had been diagnosed with leukemia and was being treated in a hospital. On Friday, they received an email from their coach urging them to focus on getting to .500 — rather than trying too hard to win one for the coach who celebrated his 52nd birthday Tuesday. “My condition will not deterMICHAEL CONROY ASSOCIATED PRESS mine my position.

Falcons remain only unbeaten team after defeating Redskins BY JOSEPH WHITE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANDOVER, Md. — Robert Griffin III isn’t the type of quarterback to run out of bounds, and Sean Weatherspoon knew it. The Atlanta Falcons linebacker kept up the pursuit and went for the tackle. His upper body rammed into the helmet of the rookie who doesn’t shy from contact. Griffin was down and done. A mild concussion, according to Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan. On a day in which the Falcons’ usually powerful offense was a bit out of sync, the defense had made a play that changed the game. Matt Ryan went on to lead three scoring drives in the fourth quarter Sunday, scraping together enough points for a 24-17 win that gave the Falcons their first 5-0 start in franchise history. “I felt like he was still turning upfield, so I was just trying to make a play,” Weatherspoon said. “Most quarterbacks would probably slide out of bounds or run out of bounds, but he’s a tough guy.” And there was no dispute. It was a clean hit. “It felt like a good play,” Weatherspoon said. “I think it gave us a little energy.” The play turned a third-andgoal from the 3 to a fourthand-goal from the 5 late in the third quarter. The Redskins
then kicked a field goal to take 10-7 lead, and Griffin’s replacement, fellow rookie Kirk Cousins, managed one big play in his NFL debut that put Washington in front one more time in the fourth quarter. But, otherwise, the post-Griffin section of the game belonged to the Falcons. Julio Jones dexterously got both feet inbounds on an 18-yard catch just beyond the pylon. Matt Bryant stayed perfect on the year with a 53-yard field goal. Michael Turner ran 13 yards for the go-ahead score with 2:46 to play. The defense intercepted Cousins twice in the final two minutes.

Vick couldn’t overcome early sloppiness against Pittsburgh THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DON WRIGHTASSOCIATED PRESS
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham (6) kicks a 34-yard field goal out of the hold by Drew Butler as time runs out in the fourth quarter to win an NFL football game on Sunday in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh won 16-14.
PITTSBURGH — Fourthquarter comebacks and close wins allowed the Philadelphia Eagles to emerge from September in first place despite a negative turnover ratio. But engineering another late go-ahead drive wasn’t enough for Michael Vick to overcome his early sloppiness with the football on Sunday. Shaun Suisham hit a 34-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 16-14 victory over the Eagles. Vick fumbled three times — losing two in the first half, including one at the goal line to negate likely Philadelphia points. It was enough to overshadow what would have been Vick’s fourth fourth-quarter gamewinning drive in five games this season. “It’s the game of football,” Vick said. “Things happen. I wish I could take the fumble back on the goal line but you can’t. Ultimately I think we put ourselves into a position to win this game and we didn’t win.”
Philadelphia (3-2) took its only lead at 14-13 with 6:33 left on Vick’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Brent Celek. That play capped a 17-play, 79-yard Eagles drive that took up more than half of the fourth quarter and included a pair of risky fourth-down conversions, including one deep inside their own territory. But the Steelers responded by driving 64 yards to set up the winning kick, including a pair of key third-down conversions by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. “They just, on that last drive especially, made one more play than we did, one more yard than what we were able to stop them on,” safety Kurt Coleman said. Pittsburgh running back Rashard Mendenhall ran for 81 yards and a touchdown in his first game of the season as the Steelers (2-2) avoided their first two-game losing streak in three years. Vick completed 20 of 30 passes for 175 yards and two scores for the Eagles, who couldn’t keep their string of narrow early-season victories going.
Bradshaw, Cruz post career-best yards, TDs Browns couldn’t compete with Giants’ passing, running game BY BARRY WILNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Ahmad Bradshaw got furious at himself, and took it out on the Cleveland Browns. Bradshaw fumbled on the first play from scrimmage, setting up a Cleveland touchdown. After that, he was unstoppable, surpassing his yardage on the ground for the season with a career-best 200 yards in a 41-27 victory Sunday. “I was angry at myself for the fumble and I just used it,” Bradshaw said. “I was disappointed with the fumble, but you put it out of your mind. I knew I was cool. We knew the running game was there, we were confident.” The passing game was there, too. Victor Cruz made a careerbest three touchdown catches. Eli Manning hit Cruz for scores of 3, 7 and 28 yards, prompting Cruz’s trademark salsa in the end zone after each touchdown. “We showed how resilient we are,” said Cruz, who entered the game leading the NFL with 32 receptions and added five for 50 yards. “We started off rough, getting behind the 8-ball a bit, but we were able to keep our wits about us. We understand we’ll be able to make some plays offensively.” Bradshaw added a 4-yard run as he darted inside and outside and frequently broke feeble tackle attempts. Bradshaw’s yardage on 30 carries easily beat the 132 he had heading into the game. The Giants are 9-0 in games he has rushed for 100 yards or more. New York (3-2) also forced three turnovers, including Chase Blackburn’s interception in the end zone midway in the fourth quarter to clinch it. That led to rookie David Wilson’s first NFL touchdown, a 40-yard scamper, which Wilson celebrated with a flip in the end zone. The Giants rushed for 243 yards. “It was across the board,” Bradshaw said of the rushing effort. “Inside, outside, left or right, the line was doing everything right.” The Browns weren’t. They are 0-5 for the first time since their return season to the NFL in 1999 and have lost 11 straight dating back to last season, matching the franchise record. Their inexperience as the league’s youngest team could not be offset by the skills of third overall draft pick Trent Richardson, who ran for a touchdown for the fourth straight game. And their defense couldn’t do anything with Cruz and Bradshaw. Brandon Weeden, Cleveland’s other first-round pick, hit another rookie, Josh Gordon, on two touchdown passes, but the Browns showed why they are winless with several critical errors in the pivotal second period, leading to 20 points for the Giants that pretty much decided matters. “We’ve been starving for turnovers,” said Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who tied Bill Parcells for regular-season coaching victories with the franchise, 77. Weeden was sharp for much of the first half, but made a terrible decision on third-and-1 from the Giants 25. With Richardson not on the field, Weeden rolled out and forced a pass to Gordon that sailed high, directly to Stevie Brown. The backup safety sped down the left sideline for 46 yards. “I was trying to make a play. It was stupid,” Weeden said. “I should have airmailed it and let Phil (Dawson) kick a field goal. That was the one throw I want back.” On the next play, Manning found Rueben Randle — yet another rookie — wide open on the left side for 36 more yards. Then Bradshaw highlighted his big opening half with his TD run to tie it at 17. Veteran Joshua Cribbs made the next mistake for Cleveland, fumbling the ensuing kickoff. Brown was on the spot again for the recovery, and Cruz caught his second touchdown pass for New York’s first lead. “We started out fast and got an early lead,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “We had a three-minute stretch before the end of the first half that was, ‘Wow, you can’t do that against a good football team.’ “ Earlier, Cruz caught a 3-yard TD pass. Cruz, Randle and Dominek Hixon stepped up nicely with Hakeem Nicks and Ramses Barden sidelined Sunday. The Browns weren’t finished handing away points. A pair of penalties led to a punt, and a 24-yard pass interference against Buster Skrine gave Lawrence Tynes a chance to kick a 40-yard field goal as the half ended. Cleveland wound up with 10 penalties for 91 yards.
