LSU offense delivers punchless performance in 14-6 loss at Florida Chris Abshire Sports Writer

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Even when the LSU offense got it right, it was all wrong.

Trailing Florida 7-6 and facing a third down late in the third quarter in front of a frenzied Ben Hill Griffin Stadium crowd, LSU junior quarterback Zach Mettenberger found sophomore LSU wideout Odell Beckham Jr. blazing down the sidelines.

Colleges go three years without discipline-specific funds Schools struggle to stay up to date Olivia McClure Contributing Writer

Three years have passed since individual University departments and colleges have been able to apply for discipline-specific grants funded by the Student Technology Fee.

Around $1 million of the $4 million the tech fee generates annually were allocated every fiscal year for discipline-specific spending until the 2010 fiscal year, when that money was shifted to support University Information Technology Services amid budget concerns. Discipline-specific grants were awarded to departments that requested tech fee money to purchase materials that would benefit their students in specific areas of study.

At a meeting on Sept. 24, the Student Technology Fee Oversight Committee discussed the possibility of opening up $350,000 of currently uncommitted tech fee funds to discipline-specific projects this fiscal year. Committee members expressed hope that discipline-specific funding will be reintroduced next fiscal year.

Honors College Assistant Dean Michael Blandino said discipline-specific awards enabled the Honors College to purchase basic

instructional technologies like projectors. The Honors College’s special classrooms are not covered by general classroom outfitting funds allocated in the tech fee budget, he said.

Tech fee approvals for the 2010 fiscal year show the Honors College was given $7,299 to replace an audio/visual cart Blandino said was about 10 years old.

He said there is now more aging equipment that needs replacing in the Honors College, but that may

be difficult to accomplish without discipline-specific funds.

“This source is really our only means to do that,” Blandino said.

He said the French House, the Honors College’s headquarters, is scheduled for renovation next year.

He said the Honors College would like to outfit the updated building with more collaborative spaces with work stations but may be unable to do so.

INTERNATIONAL Group of artists work to preserve Egypt’s revolutionary graffiti CAIRO (AP) — Graffiti has been among the most powerful art forms and tools of Egypt’s revolution and the turbulent months since, but it also has proven to be its most vulnerable and ephemeral.

A group of artists, photographers and a publisher joined hands to preserve the images. The result is a street history that chronicles image by image the evolution of Egypt’s upheaval, which has yet to settle.

France boosts security at religious sites after recent violent attacks PARIS (AP) — France is boosting security at Jewish and other religious sites after blanks were fired at a synagogue and police accused a suspected cell of radical Islamists of ties to a grenade attack on a kosher grocery.

President Francois Hollande sought Sunday to allay tensions between Jews and Muslims aggravated by a recent series of violent incidents in the country.

Hollande singled out hateful extremists for criticism and urged respect for all religions in a country that is officially secular, but which has Western Europe’s largest Jewish and Muslim communities.

Georgia congressman calls Big Bang, evolution lie from ‘pit of hell’

Scientists ask crabbers to report lost traps after many lost in Isaac

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Georgia Rep. Paul Broun said in videotaped remarks that evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory are “lies straight from the pit of hell” meant to convince people that they do not need a savior.

The Republican lawmaker made those comments during a speech Sept. 27 at a sportsman’s banquet at Liberty Baptist Church in Hartwell. Broun, a medical doctor, is running for reelection in November unopposed

by Democrats.

HOUMA (AP) — Scientists are asking crabbers to report lost traps to guide future cleanups.

Julie Anderson is an assistant professor and fisheries specialist with Louisiana Sea Grant and the LSU AgCenter. She tells The Courier that more than 1,400 traps lost in Hurricane Isaac have been reported to the database.

Crab traps can be lost when the ropes connecting floats to the cage are severed by storms, accidental catch in other gear, vandalism or the propellers of other boats.

Fish and blue crabs still swim into the traps, which also pose a hazard to boaters and can damage fishing nets.

Friends question police officer’s killing of Ala. college student MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — 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. Saturday after an officer heard a bang on a window and went outside to investigate.

Pharmacy linked to meningitis outbreak issues product recall ATLANTA (AP) — The pharmacy that distributed a steroid linked to an outbreak of fungal meningitis has issued a voluntary recall of all of its products, calling the move a precautionary measure.

The New England Compounding Center announced the recall Saturday. The company said in a news release that the move was taken out of an abundance of caution because of the risk of contamination.

It says there is no indication that any other products have been contaminated.

Racial makeup of Tangipahoa schoolteachers sparks concern AMITE (AP) — The number of black teachers and the racial makeup of student populations in Tangipahoa Parish public schools remain top concerns, the district’s court-appointed desegregation compliance officer said.

The percentage of black teachers dropped 1.4 percent from February 2011 to March 2012, Arlene Guerin told the School Board this past week.

CRIME

Study: Political divide increases Arraignment delayed for bomb suspect

Polarization gap up 8 percent Megan Dunbar

Staff Reports

Staff Writer

More Americans are sticking to party lines when voting and deciding what they believe on issues, according to new findings by the Pew Research Center.

The political polarization values gap is larger now than age, class or gender divides, according to a Pew study conducted over the past 25 years, which means it is less likely now for there to be a Republican who holds liberal views on a few key issues, or vice versa.

A graph showing political positions of each member of the 111th House of Representatives, based on each member’s amount of affirmative and negative votes, shows even the closest-to-center people do not overlap, according to the NOMINATE scaling method.

This phenomenon, known as political polarization, has increased over the past 25 years from 10 percent to 18 percent.

The percentage points in this study represent the average difference between answers to questions asked of Democrats and Republicans.

Political science professor and Graduate Studies adviser James Garand illuminated this, saying political partisanship is an interesting phenomenon, most likely caused by the gap between average incomes.

According to Pew, the gap between incomes in political parties remains at 10 percent, similar to the numbers collected over the past 25 years.

Income for the top fifth of households in America rose by 1.6 percent in 2011, while those in the middle declined and those at the bottom stayed the same, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Income aside, partisan gaps create a more homogeneous world in which party members operate, Gerand said.

“You have common ground with people when your moderately conservative next-door neighbor has a friend with liberal social views and conservative fiscal ones, while you have mostly liberal views. You can have a conversation,” Garand said.

Data shows this opportunity for conversation is changing.

JACQUELYN MATIN/ The Associated Press

Advocacy group “No Labels” rallies June 18, 2011, on Capitol Hill to urge Congress and the president to find a bipartisan solution to the fiscal crisis.

The same data does not negate the fact that more Americans identify themselves as Independents, but even Independents have leanings, according to the American National Election Studies.

The number of true Independents as measured in recent presidential elections has remained around 10 percent.

No third party encompasses the entire independent vote, but the American Centrist Party, selfdescribed as comprised of people who do not “hold themselves to

the party politics of the right or left,” strives to capture the American vote by acknowledging and using positive aspects of both major parties while discarding the negative ones.

“Most Americans are Independent Centrist; they just don’t know it yet,” the website claims.

William Bouvay Jr., the man arrested for calling in a bomb threat to the University on Sept.

17, will be arraigned Oct. 11 after the original date, set for Oct. 5, was moved.

The East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney’s Office filed the charge Oct. 4 for communicating false information of a planned bombing on school property.

No reason was provided for the date change.

If convicted, Bouvay, 42, of 8224 Skysail Ave., could face a maximum of 20 years in prison on state charges alone. He also faces up to 10 more years for a federal indictment filed last month.

Bouvay was arrested for the false threats only two days after he made the call. Police were able to track the call to Bouvay’s cell phone, and he admitted to the crime after he was brought to the LSU Police Department for questioning.

The threat was unprecedented at the University as campus

closed down and students, faculty and staff were forced to evacuate, causing traffic gridlocks that lasted hours.

Bouvay’s motive is still unknown. Police officials said at a Sept. 19 news conference that releasing information on Bouvay’s reason for making the false threat would hinder the ongoing investigation.

Bouvay is no stranger to police investigations and court appearances. He has been previously arrested for a slew of offences, including terrorizing, domestic abuse and attempted second degree murder.

His terrorizing charge involved a University faculty member and earned him 18 months in prison. Bouvay was on parole when he called in the bomb threat.

‘Tiger Food’ newsletter offers nutritional advice to students Caitlin McCord Contributing Writer

LSU Dining’s new monthly newsletter offers students another tool to combat the notorious “Freshman 15.”

LSU Dining has created a newsletter to help provide students with important nutritional information and calendar events.

“We call it Tiger Food,” said Dean Samuels, LSU Dining marketing director. “It is pretty much a four-part informational document.”

Part one of the newsletter features a profile of a member of the culinary team entitled “Who’s in The Kitchen” and some nutritional information from Briggette Mosley, director of Athletic Dining and registered dietitian, Samuels said.

Samuels said he believes the “Who’s in The Kitchen” column is the most interesting part of the newsletter.

“I think most of our students don’t realize the caliber of people that we have on our culinary team,” Samuels said.

The second part is designed to focus on the particular needs of students as they pertain to nutrition and is entitled “BalancedU.” This month it highlights “brain boosters,” he said.

This portion of the newsletter

explains what foods students should look for to help them deal with everyday stress.

Part three focuses on the monthly calendar of events.

“The calendar will show all of the culinary-based events taking place on the campus, be it in our dining halls or elsewhere,” Samuels said.

Samuels said many students had no idea when dining events were taking place. They would often enter the dining hall to find tents and a DJ set up, he said.

The fourth part is a flyer for the main themed meal of the month. For the month of October, the theme is Halloween.

Students can find the newsletter in The 5 and 459 commons dining halls. “[Dining] is putting them in both dining halls at the front counters,” said Caroline Uffman, LSU Dining marketing assistant.

“They can also be found on the tables throughout the 459 and The 5.”

The newsletter is released the first week of every month and is also available on the LSU Dining website.

The website has a feature that enables students to subscribe to the newsletter. Those who choose to have a subscription will receive a monthly email with a PDF file of the newsletter, Samuels said.

Kenneth Chancellor, mechanical engineering freshman, said he only expects about 50 percent of students to use the newsletter, but believes it will be beneficial for those that do.

Interfraternity Council votes in new fraternity

Theta Chi becomes 21st fraternity Shannon Roberts Contributing Writer

The University’s Interfraternity Council welcomed a new fraternity Sept. 26.

Theta Chi became the 21st fraternity addition to campus when it received the necessary number of votes at the regularly scheduled Interfraternity Council meeting, Logan Davis, a graduate assistant at Greek Life said in an email.

Theta Chi, which started out as an interest group in April 2010 with 10 undergraduate men, was chartered as the Iota Pi chapter on April 21 with 45 members, according to a news release.

“The Interfraternity Council couldn’t be more excited to welcome the men of Theta Chi into the council,” Jonathan Sanders, associate director of Greek Life, said in the release.

Present at Wednesday’s vote

were Theta Chi President Justin Jones, President of the Advisory Board of Theta Chi at LSU Steve Mannear, Graduate Adviser Eric Shapiro, and Theta Chi Executive Director Mike Mayer, who represented the International Headquarters.

Theta Chi is one of the oldest men’s college fraternities.

According to the release, it was founded at Norwich University in Vermont on April 10, 1856, on the principles of friendship through every member mutually assisting one another.

Theta Chi has 131 active chapters across the nation, Davis said.

As a social fraternity, Theta Chi focuses on academics, service and involvement, he said.

The last addition to the IFC was in 2005 when the LSU chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu was founded.

U.S.-based Venezuelans vote for homeland’s president

The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS (AP) — For Orlando Sequera, voting in Venezuela’s presidential election Sunday meant more than simply deciding whether Hugo Chavez serves another six years in office. It could mean the difference between staying in the U.S. and returning to his homeland.

Sequera, 37, came to the U.S. for a chance to go to college in 1997.

He went back to Venezuela in 2002 and returned to the U.S. in less than a year upon finding his home country in ruins, he said — unsafe and unstable.

“This election means everything,” said Sequera, who still has many relatives in Venezuela. “It means whether we become a communist country like Cuba or become more progressive with a future of opportunity and freedom for our people. It really is a struggle between good and evil.”

Sequera was among thousands of U.S.-based Venezuelans who flocked to New Orleans by bus, car and airplane to vote. The election pits Chavez, who has been in office 13 years, against Henrique Capriles, a 40-year-old state governor who has pledged solutions to crime, corruption and poorly run public services.

FEES, from page 1

“We may be plugging back in the equipment we have now once that’s done if there’s no means for us to propose for replacement of that,” Blandino said.

Dean of the College of Music and Dramatic Arts Laurence Kaptain said being able to keep up with new technologies is essential to academic success.

“The iPhone wasn’t invented until five years ago,” he said. “So if you’re looking at how that’s changed things and how people expect to be able to interact with professors and do some of their learning through mobile technology, that’s too long without an update.”

Kaptain said since creative people are often on the cutting edge of technology, it is important for CMDA to keep up to date as well. Learning how to use relevant technologies while at college is essential because much of the work done in music- and arts-related careers is now computerized, he said.

“We really want our students … if they go to graduate school or to a job to be the leaders where they’re at,” Kaptain said. “And that helps everyone because then that makes their degree more valuable when they’re perceived as coming from LSU and really being advanced at things.”

In 2009, CMDA was able to purchase items like light panels, microphones and podcasting kits with tech fee funds. The listing of tech fee approvals for that fiscal year shows CMDA was awarded about $76,000 for “replacing and remaining technology in the CMDA.” Kaptain said the $76,000 received in 2009 led to millions of

Most Venezuelans in the U.S. are professionals or businesspeople who left their country after Chavez became president in 1999. Most Venezuelan voters in the United States live in the Miami area, and the vast majority of those are critical of the Chavez government.

Voting was held in New Orleans because the consulate in Miami was closed earlier this year after the State Department expelled consul Livia Acosta amid an investigation into recordings that seemed to implicate her in an Iranian plot for a cyber-attack against the U.S. The closure affected nearly 20,000 Venezuelan voters living in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina who had registered to vote at the Miami consulate. That’s only a fraction of the 18.9 million registered voters in Venezuela, but the vote is expected to be a close one.

Venezuelans around the world also came out to vote en masse: An anti-Chavez Venezuelan television station showed people traveling to a consulate in Germany to vote, and others voting in Panama.

Sequera said the closure did not deter the thousands who turned out, chanting “Venezuela” and waving their nation’s flags from cars. A street party unfolded as voters left the

convention center, where votes were cast because New Orleans’ consulate couldn’t handle the crowds. Vendors sold food and drinks to the cheering crowd.

“We’re tired of the situation at home, and we’ve come together to make a stand for change,” he said.

Cuba, an isolated nation ruled by a communist regime led by Raul Castro, who succeeded his brother Fidel, is in many ways closely tied to the election. Some Venezuelan expatriates fear their home country is going down the same path as Cuba, stifling opposition and pushing people into poverty with communist policies.

Across the Gulf of Mexico in Havana, about 400 Venezuelans were registered to vote. Many are workers for the state oil company, university students or patients from binational medical programs. And several expressed strong support for Chavez.

Dariela Ortega, 25, urged compatriots to get out and vote.

“That’s the best thing they can do so our country continues to be what it is now,” Ortega said. “May they vote for the best one — and they know who the best one is.”

Back in New Orleans, Alexandra Viamonte had a different

dollars in benefits because of the money CMDA generates through its programs.

Because discipline-specific grants were cut out, CMDA has used leftover teaching funds, donations and ticket income from concerts and plays to purchase equipment. Kaptain said this money would normally pay for scholarships and travel expenses.

Like the Honors College, CMDA faces a need to replace outdated equipment but lacks the tech fee grants that paid for the original items. One potential purchase Kaptain mentioned was new pianos, which he said would benefit all music undergraduate students because of a requirement to take a piano class.

Kaptain also said he would like to introduce degree programs in sound recording and music writing for moving images, both of which would require modern technological equipment. If disciplinespecific funding becomes available again, these programs would be more feasible, he said.

Kaptain said the music writing for moving images degree is of particular interest for Louisiana due to its growing film industry.

“If we’re training people to

support the film industry, then we’re supporting our students here, our faculty and our citizens who will benefit from the creative economy,” Kaptain said.

Part of these and other CMDA endeavors involves reaching out to grade school students, Kaptain

She married a man originally from Cuba, and together they have five children. However, most of her extended family remains in Venezuela, and she fears their fate if Chavez wins another term.

page 6 OFFENSE, from page 1 No. 9 LSU’s (5-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) only offensive spark since the opening drive on the way to a 14-6 defeat.

“We keep possession on that reception, and it could have been the difference in that game,” said LSU coach Les Miles.

His case isn’t compelling, as the Tigers posted their ugliest offensive performance in recent memory against a team not named Alabama.

The statistics tell the tale. Six points, 200 total yards and eight first downs aren’t winning football numbers.

It got so bad that No. 4 Florida (5-0, 4-0 SEC), which compiled a mere 61 passing yards on 12 attempts, made its LSU counterparts resemble a JV squad in the second half.

But the reality may have been more harsh on the Tiger offense, which had averaged 39 points and 433 yards per game prior to Saturday.

After a week relatively free of drops against Towson, several passes eluded Tiger receivers Saturday.

Mettenberger, known mostly for his mistakes deep in enemy territory, forced a throw on his own end of the field, which Florida intercepted to set up a short field to work with.

A makeshift offensive line again struggled to keep an opponent out of the backfield, especially after LSU senior left guard Josh Williford left the game with a head injury in the first quarter.

With sweat and frustration still visible on their faces following the game, LSU players didn’t have many answers for their second-straight putrid offensive performance in SEC play.

“It’s a weird feeling,” said junior running back Spencer Ware, who was LSU’s leading rusher with only 21 yards. “I don’t know [what’s wrong]. There’s just something different about this team we need to get fixed.”

LSU’s offense may have been hanging by a thread, but it was Florida’s defense that cut the cord.

Behind a raucous crowd, the Gators defense was as smothering as the famed humidity in The Swamp.

LSU head coach Les Miles and sophomore wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (3) watch the replay board after Beckham fumbled the ball Saturday.

Elam’s helmet less antics along with seven solo tackles and his strip of Beckham kept the Florida defense energized while it allowed only one LSU third-down conversion.

“The open week benefitted Florida, and it showed in their preparation of the game plan,” Miles said.

The Gators didn’t need much leeway — it provided three of the Tigers’ eight first downs via penalty — but LSU gave it to them anyway with a slew of unforced errors.

After a fumble by Florida sophomore quarterback Jeff Driskel late in the second quarter, LSU took over at the Gators’ seven-yard line, ahead 3-0 with a chance to gain a double-digit advantage.

On third-and-goal from the four-yard line, the Tigers took two timeouts before calling a halfback pass that freshman running back Terrence Magee had to tuck away for no gain.

According to Miles, there was an electrical malfunction with the headset, while Mettenberger said the wrong wristband number was called in before the first timeout.

“It was a play called in for a different personnel set than we had out there,” Mettenberger said. “It was just that one time we had the wristband issue, but it was important.”

The mishap was representative of the Tigers’ recent SEC

struggles, as LSU has scored one touchdown in the last 12 quarters of play against league foes.

On LSU’s last realistic series to tie the game, sophomore tight end Nic Jacobs caught a nineyard pass to get the drive near midfield.

He wasn’t eligible to catch it, drawing a five-yard penalty as an ineligible man down field.

Ware called Florida a “bigtime defense,” but lamented LSU’s own inability to keep the Gators’ swarming defense away from the line of scrimmage.

“When you know somebody’s gonna run or where the ball’s going, it’s not that hard to stop you,” he said. “Everybody flies to the ball, and it was nine of them against our seven or six. We were outnumbered every time.”

The Tigers posted their lowest regular season point total since a 13-3 loss to Florida in 2009. Outnumbering capable opponents on the scoreboard seems to be slipping further from LSU’s grasp.

“We understand the things that went wrong,” Miles said.

“Mistakes are being made, and it’s showing up on the point sheet. The plays are exactly how we coach it, so they’re very defined mistakes. There’s just too many of them.”

Miles beaten at his own game

Monster Minter Minter has the game of his life in disappointing loss Alex Cassara Sports Writer

MIC’D UP

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — LSU junior linebacker Kevin Minter may have played a little too well in the Tigers’ 14-6 loss to Florida on Saturday.

In the Gators’ first offensive drive of the second half, Minter added two tackles to the 10 he’d already accumulated before halftime, at which point LSU led 6-0.

“Kevin played his butt off,” said LSU coach Les Miles.

While it’s probably safe to assume Miles didn’t mean that literally, one could make the case.

Minter said the muscles in his legs seized after he made his 13th tackle of the game on the Tigers’ next defensive stand, sending him to the locker room. When Minter returned later in the quarter, the game was not how he left it.

Florida immediately took a 7-6 lead in Minter’s absence. He would wrestle down seven more Gators.

However, not even pulling within one tackle of LSU’s singlegame record of 21 — along with two sacks and a forced fumble — could save a team that allowed Florida’s offense to stay on the field for 70 percent of the game. “[Minter] showed up with a tremendous game, but it’s a team effort,” said junior defensive end Barkevious Mingo. “The team should’ve rallied around that and got him off the field.”

With Minter causing mayhem, LSU’s defense didn’t have that problem prior to the half.

MONSTER, see page 11 LSU junior linebacker Kevin Minter (46) makes a tackle Saturday in Ben Hill Griffin stadium during the Tigers’ 14-6 loss to the Gators.

Florida coach Will Muschamp is a plagiarist.

He didn’t merely take a page out of LSU coach Les Miles’ book — Muschamp copied the whole thing, put an orange and blue cover on it and made Miles read the handbook he’s made his namesake for 60 minutes.

Simply put, Miles got “Miles’d.”

There’s no more excuses or ugly wins to hide behind. LSU got what was coming to it after two straight, uninspiring performances.

Forget about a wakeup call or an eye-opener— what happened in The Swamp on Saturday was a disaster.

Muschamp reminded Miles what it looked like to dominate the line of scrimmage, control the clock and capitalize off turnovers.

Muschamp made adjustments.

Miles didn’t.

Facing a 6-0 halftime deficit with no offensive rhythm, Muschamp made a conscious decision — pound the rock until the Tigers proved they could stop it.

Mission accomplished.

The Gators made up for their offensive deficiencies in the first half, piling up 190 yards after halftime.

Playing on one’s home turf is usually a way to gain an upper hand on an opponent. The Tigers felt no such advantage this past weekend, as a mix of steamy, chilly and windy conditions found their way to the University Club in Baton Rouge.

“The course played really tough in the beginning,” Presley said. “It was really windy and cold. It played tough all week, but I think I did well with my [4-over 220] and I think some

people definitely could have done better in different conditions.”

The Tigers sent nine golfers to the course this weekend, as Presley, sophomores Curtis Thompson, Stewart Jolly and Myles Lewis and freshman Zach Wright competed for the team score.

Juniors Smylie Kaufman and Landon Lyons and freshmen Chuck Spears and John Jonas competed as individuals.

The LSU volleyball team is calling its straight-set win against South Carolina a fresh start to a new season.

After a 2-5 start in Southeastern Conference play that included a five-set home loss to Georgia less than a week ago, LSU coach Fran Flory, along with the rest of her team, are forgetting about the beginning of the season and start new.

“We kind of decided that this would be the restart of the season,” Flory said. “…We acted like this was the first match of our season, and we’re going to continue and see what we can accomplish.”

LSU would take the first game of its “new season” in straight sets 29-27, 25-23 and 2512.

The Tigers had their best offensive game of the season against the Gamecock defense, posting a .359 hitting clip — more than 16 percent higher than their season average — while only committing 11 hitting errors, 10 fewer than their season average.

The trio of junior Desiree Elliott, sophomore Helen Boyle and senior Madie Jones has been the driving force behind the LSU offense all season after being responsible for 77 percent of the Tigers’ kills thus far.

The three’s performance against South Carolina was no different, leading the offensive push with 44 kills on a .375 hitting clip.

“Jones carries a huge load for us all the time,” Flory said.

“Certainly [Elliott] has to be our go-to middle — she’s so fast and dynamic, everyone knows she’s going to get the ball, and she’s still able to out quick teams. …

The emergence of Helen has really been the salvation of our offense this year.”

It didn’t take long for the two teams to get acquainted with each

other during a hard-fought first set that resulted in 12 lead changes and took an extra seven points to finally come to a conclusion.

But it was in the second set where the Tigers began to take control of the match and dive headfirst into their newfound fresh-start mentality.

LSU fell behind early in the second set when South Carolina jumped to a 14-7 lead, but Elliott, Jones and Boyle would combine for eight kills to catapult LSU to a 14-4 run.

“We had talked about heading into the locker room with momentum,” said senior libero Meghan Mannari. “In our heads we realized that we needed to change something and being down and coming back was a big deal. It helped us going into the locker room and into the third set, taking care of business on our side.”

It also appears that Mannari has returned full-time to her

libero position after suffering an ankle injury a month ago. Mannari played every set at libero since switching with her replacement, senior defensive specialist Sam Delahoussaye, following the third set against Georgia, but Flory continues to say the decision of who will play in the different color jersey will be made on a game-to-game basis.

The Tigers will now turn their attention to Wednesday’s match against preseason SEC favorite Tennessee.

“Every match with Tennessee has just been a war,” Flory said. “Our players enjoy that match, and I think their players enjoy that match. … Tennessee is very physical, and they’re as quick and dynamic and as athletic as any other team in the league.”

The Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — Coco Crisp sprinted in from deep center field to put himself in position to make a basket catch that would end the seventh inning with the Oakland Athletics clinging to a one-run lead.

Instead, the ball off Miguel Cabrera’s bat hit the heel of Crisp’s glove, popped in and out of the mitt’s webbing and left him trying to snag it with his bare right hand on a third attempt to make a key play.

“I had to make a decision between turning my glove over and going for the basket catch or trying to slide into the ball,” Crisp said.

“I’ve made the catch both ways, and obviously this time, I made the wrong decision.”

Crisp couldn’t get a grip and the Tigers took advantage with two runs that helped them beat Oakland 5-4 Sunday and take a 2-0 lead in their AL division series.

“It was an unfortunate play for them and a fortunate play for us,” said Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland. “That’s the human element of the game.”

The Athletics will face elimination in Game 3 on Tuesday.

“They’re not going to cash it in, trust me,” Leyland said. “We’ve got a long way to go.”

The A’s will host the next three games — if they make them necessary in the five-game series.

Baseball is using a 2-3 format in the division series because there wasn’t enough time to have an extra travel day with an extra wildcard team in both leagues.

After Crisp’s error, Oakland responded with two runs in the eighth to get the lead back — on

a wild pitch and Josh Reddick’s solo homer — but blew it again in the home half before losing the possibly pivotal game in the ninth inning.

Reliever Ryan Cook got two outs in the eighth, but threw a wild pitch that allowed Don Kelly to score and make it 4-all.

“Both teams made some mistakes that got the other team in the game,” said A’s manager Bob Melvin.

Kelly ended the game in the ninth with a sacrifice fly off closer Grant Balfour that scored Omar Infante and put the A’s in a tough spot.

Oakland hopes it can draw on its comeback experience from late in the regular season.

The AL West champions became the first team in baseball history to win a division or pennant after being behind by at least five games with fewer than 10 games left, capping the remarkable rally with a three-game sweep against Texas that erased a two-game deficit.

“We’re not packing it in. We don’t do that, or we wouldn’t be here,” said Oakland second baseman Cliff Pennington. “We’ll keep fighting until we’re done, one way or the other. We’ve been doing this all year.”

Crisp has been covering a lot of ground in the outfield this season, his third with the A’s, and throughout his career that started in Cleveland a decade ago and continued in Boston and Kansas City.

FOOTBALL

Saints nab first win, Brees breaks record This week’s Brett Martel The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees’ latest assault on a prestigious NFL passing record lifted the embattled New Orleans Saints to their first victory of the season.

Brees broke a half-centuryold record by throwing a touchdown pass in his 48th straight game, and the Saints defeated the San Diego Chargers 31-24 on Sunday night.

Brees’ 40-yard pass to Devery Henderson eclipsed the mark of 47 consecutive games with a touchdown pass set by Johnny Unitas from 1956-60.

“First of all, it’s a team record, not an individual record.

So many people were responsible for this, coaches and people in the organization,” Brees said.

“Certainly the man who held this record stands for everything great in this league. It couldn’t have happened in a better way.”

Brees finished with four touchdown passes, including three to Marques Colston, giving the seventh-year receiver a franchise-record 52 TD catches with the Saints (1-4).

At Brees’ request, the NFL allowed head coach Sean Payton, assistant head coach Joe Vitt and general manager Mickey Loomis — all serving various suspensions in connection with the NFL’s bounty investigation — to attend the game. They and Unitas’ son, Joe, saw Brees pass for 370 yards.

“It gave us a good mojo for sure,” Brees said of Payton’s presence. “I love my coach, so glad he could be here. Mickey and Joe Vitt as well. It is special for our team, special they could be a part of this record.”

“We finally put together a great team effort for all four quarters. I can’t say enough for the guys in our locker room,” Brees said. “We have been through a lot together. Hopefully this will lead to more wins.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the one who suspended Saints personnel in the bounty matter but also granted Brees’ request for Payton, Vitt and Loomis to attend the game, chimed in on social media to offer his own congratulations.

On his Twitter page, Goodell wrote: “Congrats to @drewbrees & his teammates on breaking Unitas’ record. Amazing accomplishment by great QB & leader.

BILL FEIG / The Associated Press

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) throws a touchdown pass for his 48th consecutive game, breaking Johnny Unitas’ NFL record which stood for more than 50 years, during an NFL football game against the San Diego Chargers at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday.

We’re proud of you, Drew.”

Philip Rivers passed for 354 yards and two touchdowns to former Saint Robert Meachem, but had two costly turnovers in the final quarter.

The first was Roman Harper’s interception and 41-yard return on a pass tipped by fellow safety Malcolm Jenkins. That set up the Saints’ final score on Garrett Hartley’s 25-yard field goal.

San Diego (3-2) still had a chance to tie in the final minute when defensive end Martez Wilson stripped Rivers and recovered the fumble to seal the victory.

After his record-setting completion, Brees galloped to the end zone to hug Henderson.

The rest of New Orleans’ offense pursued and swarmed around Brees in celebration while the jubilant Superdome crowd roared and then howled an elongated, “Dreeeeeeew!”

Brees took the game ball to the sideline where he continued to accept congratulations. The scoring pass capped an 80-yard drive in which Brees completed all three of his third-down passes, including the touchdown connection with Henderson.

Colston finished with nine catches for 131 yards, while Henderson had eight catches for 123 yards.

Colston’s second TD late in the third quarter eclipsed a franchise mark set by Joe Horn in 2006 and pulled theSaints back within a field goal shortly after

the Chargers appeared to have gone ahead 31-14 on Demorrio Williams’ interception return for a touchdown. Williams’ TD was nullified, however, by Melvin Ingram’s late hit on Brees’ chin, which drew a roughing-the-passer flag and extended what wound up to be an 87-yard scoring drive.

Vitt is expected to take over the coaching staff when his sixgame suspension ends. Loomis was docked eight games. As the Saints headed into their bye week, the desperately needed win offered hope, however faint, of making a playoff run when Vitt

and Loomis are back.

Rivers staked San Diego to a 7-0 lead with a 15-yard touchdown pass over the middle to Meachem, marking the former Saints receiver’s first touchdown since signing with the Chargers as a free agent last winter.

San Diego moved ahead 10-7 on Nick Novak’s 20-yard field goal, a disappointment for the Chargers after Saints cornerback Jabari Greer was called for pass interference against Malcom Floyd at the New Orleans 6. Novak, filling in for injured kicker Nate Kaeding, later missed a 55yard attempt.

Colston made his first touchdown catch on a pass Brees lofted perfectly to the back of the end zone. That gave New Orleans a 14-10 lead that lasted until Meachem’s 44-yard touchdown catch in the final minute of the half.

San Diego went ahead 2414 on Ryan Mathews’ 13-yard run around left end, capping a three-play drive that started when Henderson tipped a pass that Brees threw behind him, allowing Quentin Jammer to intercept it and give San Diego the ball on the New Orleans 25.

Greer left the game with what team officials said was a hip injury. He was hurt late in the second quarter and did not return.

Monday, October 8, 2012 The Gators were forced to punt on their first four drives, the fourth of which Minter single-handedly halted. He made every tackle of the three-and-out, two of them sacks. Florida sophomore quarterback Jeff Driskel didn’t complete his handoff motion before Minter reached him on the first sack.

And finally gaining steam on the fifth drive, Driskel dropped back from the LSU 22-yard line, delivered a pass in the flat and watched as Minter swooped in and crushed the ball from senior

receiver Frankie Hammond’s grasp.

“We had an outstanding first half, all of us [from] the linemen, to the linebackers, to the secondary,” Minter said. “It’s just a shame we couldn’t finish the second half like we did the first.”

He could only do so much.

LSU’s offense laid an egg, rushing for just 42 yards, completing 44 percent of its passes and converting one of 13 third downs.

As a result, the Tigers found themselves on the opposite side of a grinding tactic they’re accustomed to employing. Gators senior running back Mike Gillislee

coach Chuck Winstead said he wanted to see a more impressive start from his squad in the opening rounds of the David Toms Intercollegiate.

His wish wasn’t granted.

Instead of a productive first round, the Tigers came out of the gate struggling, as four of the five golfers competing for the team score finished over par. Thompson was the lone bright spot in round one, as his even-par performance after 18 holes kept the program within striking distance of first place.

When the squad needed a leader to step up in the second round, the oldest member of the group performed as expected.

While fellow teammates Thompson, Jolly and Lewis struggled mightily, Presley turned in a 1-over 73 performance.

Even though LSU sat at 21over par for the first two rounds, they were in a position to come away from the tournament with a victory.

With the wind swirling and the temperature dropping as the golfers teed off in round three, the Tigers looked to the veteran of the squad to pull out the win.

Presley turned in his most clutch performance of the season, shooting a 2-over 74 in the final round to conclude the exhausting tournament.

Teammates Lewis and Jolly both finished at 3-over 75 in round three, but a 14-over 230 and a 10-over 226 respectively left the players with room to improve.

Presley, who was recently ill with a stomach flu, admitted he could have played more efficiently, though he is looking forward to preparing for the squad’s next competition at the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational in Windermere, Fla., on Oct. 21.

“My ball striking was definitely not there this week,” Presley said. “With that being said, I saved it with my short game.

Hopefully I can get plenty of reps over the next few weeks and play better at [the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational].”

on the ground, including 25 straight rushes to end the game. The Gators took control of the game with an 11-play, 77-yard touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter.

All 77 yards were gained through the run.

It was the beginning of the end for LSU’s hope of an undefeated season.

I don’t blame the defense. It held Florida to 237 offensive yards.

It’s the offense’s fault for not being able to stay on the field and let the defense catch its breath.

Jan. 9, 2012 ring any bells?

The LSU offense could barely muster more than a three-and-out in the BCS National Championship Game loss to Alabama, forcing the defense to stay on the field for much of the game.

The LSU defense spent 11 minutes, 27 seconds on the field in the third quarter of Saturday’s loss.

LSU was unable to get any kind of momentum going on offense. It wasn’t until the early fourth quarter that the LSU offense finally converted a third down.

Take away wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.’s 56-yard reception, which he fumbled away, and Florida running back Mike Gillislee outgained the Tigers 146-144.

If there’s a panic button

The Daily Reveille began gutting the Tigers in the third quarter, finishing with 146 yards on 34 carries.

Of those 34 carries, 22 came in the second half as Florida abandoned the pass, rushing on its final 25 offensive plays. LSU’s defense was on the field for 37 minutes, 24 seconds. “[The offensive struggles are] not frustrating because we don’t think about blame here,” said junior defensive end Sam Montgomery.

“But it is tiring.”

Minter’s 17 solo tackles against the Gators set an LSU record and outmatched his season total coming

anywhere near offensive coordinator Greg Studrawa, he can feel free to press it.

Instead of remembering the Tigers’ 2012 trip to Gainesville, Fla., as junior linebacker Kevin Minter putting together one of the best individual defense performances in program history, LSU fans will only recall a lethargic, predictable offense that hasn’t changed a bit even with a new signal caller.

“It’s pretty difficult because we can’t keep them on their heels,” LSU junior running back Spencer Ware said after the game. “When we line up in regular [offensive formation] with two receivers, they know its run.”

This is an offense still searching for an identity after six games.

And if Miles thinks the Tigers are suddenly going to find one, he’s watching too much of last season’s game film.

The schedule doesn’t get any easier. His players aren’t getting any healthier. More importantly, a blueprint for how to take down the Tigers was put on display — put nine defenders in the box and force quarterback Zach Mettenberger to beat you with his arm.

Muschamp begged Mettenberger to throw the ball. In the second half, the Gator defense was content to load up against the run and leave their cornerbacks

page 11 into the contest.

Gillislee was funneled repeatedly toward Minter, but Mingo said it was personal effort rather than any scheme or situation that dictated his teammate’s breakout game.

“He played above and beyond his position and really came through for us,” Mingo said. “It just didn’t work out our way.”

Minter’s 54 total tackles this season outpaced his next closest teammate by 15, and he also leads the way in tackles for loss with 8.5.

Minter said he wanted to apologize to the fans for Saturday’s

overall performance but that he thought the Tigers improved despite the loss.

That attitude, combined with his monster game, garnered high praise from his head coach following the disappointing result.

“He has given us great leadership, and he is the captain of our team,” Miles said. “He is exactly what you would want from a college football player.”

one-on-one with LSU’s receivers.

Studrawa responded by calling the same conservative play calls Tiger fans groaned about with Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson behind center.

When asked why the offense is struggling so much, Ware pondered his response for a good five seconds.

“I don’t know,” Ware finally answered.

Don’t worry Spencer, Studrawa and Miles don’t know either.

They might want to figure it out quickly before South Carolina visits Tiger Stadium this weekend.

If the Gamecocks were able to hold

Georgia’s potent offense scoreless until the fourth quarter, what does that mean for an LSU offense who has scored one touchdown in eight SEC quarters?

Maybe it will force Miles to play to win instead of not to lose.

The Real Rumble

Stewart, O’Reilly event more substantive than presidential debate MANUFACTURING DISCONTENT DAVID SCHEUERMANN Columnist One comedian, one pundit and a lot more substance than the presidential race.

“The Daily Show’s” Jon Stewart faced off against Bill O’Reilly of Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” in a political debate Saturday at George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium.

Moderated by CNN journalist E.D. Hill, the debate, billed as “The Rumble in the Air Conditioned Auditorium,” was available for streaming to anyone who wanted to pay the $4.95 price tag. Half of the proceeds are being donated to charity.

Unlike the presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney last Wednesday, this showdown featured the kind of unabashed sincerity lacking in today’s political atmosphere.

O’Reilly, equipped with signs featuring slogans such as “Debt is Bad,” “Bush is Gone” and “Buy Your Own,” came out swinging, lambasting Obama for blaming former President George W. Bush for today’s economic woes and claiming that 20 percent of the country are slackers who feel entitled.

“We are spending an enormous amount of money on 20 percent who, for whatever reason, [say] ‘we’re just not gonna cut it, we’re not gonna make a living, we’re not gonna really do anything,’” O’Reilly said.

The Fox News pundit also referred to Georgetown Law School graduate and women’s rights activist Sandra Fluke as “the poster person for the entitlement society.”

Stewart, using an electric platform to raise himself to O’Reilly’s height, didn’t pull any punches either.

“My friend, Bill O’Reilly, is completely full of shit,” Stewart said.

Stewart claimed the country faces difficulties solving problems because much of the populace “has created an alternate universe in which the issues that we face revolve around a woman from

Georgetown who wanted birth control ... covered on her health insurance in the same way Viagra is covered to many others.”

“I call this alternate reality... bullshit mountain,” the comedian said.

It was the beginning of a friendly, banter-filled discourse between the two entertainers that was undoubtedly more authentic — and less uptight — than what we usually hear from Capitol Hill.

Topics ranged from foreign policy to the allocation on tax revenues toward certain policies, such as public media and contraception coverage.

“Give me the money back for the Iraq war, and it’s rubbers for everybody on me,” Stewart proclaimed.

O’Reilly retorted, saying that services (specifically PBS) should have to compete in the marketplace and, with $16 trillion in debt,

“You’ve got to start to cut.”

“Should Exxon be able to compete on its own?” Stewart asked. “Because we give to them and other companies like it ... over $260 billion every year.”

O’Reilly began to hit his stride when criticizing the economic woes facing the country during Obama’s presidency.

“Since the president has been in office, $5,000 the average worker has lost in pay ... and gas prices have more than doubled,” O’Reilly stated, adding later that if President Obama is re-elected, we’ll have a $20 trillion debt. “The job of the president now is to get the debt under control, and you’ve got to cut stuff.”

Already, the difference between this debate and the presidential debate earlier in the week was clear.

There was no pandering here, no vague promises and no empty

rhetoric. Each man simply offered an honest representation of his position.

When entitlements came up, the fundamental moral dilemma plaguing each side of the political divide made itself apparent.

“The mindset is that if I can gin the system, I’ll do it because it’s easy,” O’Reilly said, arguing later that Obama has made it easier to apply for entitlements. “They advertise on the radio for food stamps,” he declared.

And Stewart offered the clear and unadulterated counterpoint.

“Why is it that if you take advantage of a tax break and you’re a corporation, you’re a smart business man, but if you take advantage of something that you need to not be hungry, you’re a moocher,” Stewart replied.

More issues were covered, and at the end, questions were answered from audience members

and Internet users.

However, the important point to take from this event is its authenticity.

This wasn’t an intellectual showdown like what may be found between leftist and conservative academics. Neither debater could be called an expert in much of what they discussed.

But it did offer an earnest — and highly entertaining — discussion between two different political belief systems.

And that’s precisely what we need more of in this country.

Romney tax plan not mathematically possible SHARE THE WEALTH JAY MEYERS Columnist During last week’s closely watched presidential debate, President Barack Obama criticized Mitt Romney’s tax plan, saying his proposals would disproportionally benefit the wealthy, unfairly burden the middle class and significantly increase the deficit.

And after taking a closer look at the math behind Romney’s plan, it appears that Obama was right.

However, Romney vehemently denied the President’s claims, declaring “virtually everything he said about my tax plan is inaccurate.”

The GOP contender insisted he would not raise taxes on middle-income Americans and that he would not increase the deficit.

So what exactly would Romney’s plan mean for taxpayers?

First off, it should be noted that President Obama has no adequate plan to deal with our nation’s debt crisis — but Romney’s tax plan is far worse.

Romney would begin by permanently extending the Bush tax cuts scheduled to expire in 2013.

Next, he has proposed eliminating the estate and alternative minimum taxes and imposing an across-the-board 20 percent reduction for all income tax rates.

As Obama and most

economists have pointed out, these eliminations and reductions alone would add $5 trillion to the deficit over 10 years.

But Romney has claimed he would be able to offset these reductions through a process known as “broadening the base” — cutting back tax loopholes, deductions and exemptions.

In fact, this “base-broadening” argument is the foundation for Romney’s entire tax plan.

Romney contests that these reductions in tax breaks, in combination with moderately faster economic growth brought about by lower tax rates, will make the individual income tax changes revenue-neutral.

The Republican nominee has taken a lot of heat for not disclosing which loopholes he would eliminate, but he said earlier this week that he would put a $17,000 cap on annual deductions, such as mortgage interest and charitable contributions.

Unfortunately for Romney, however, even if he eliminated every loophole and deduction, it wouldn’t be able to make up for the cost of his massive tax cuts.

According to Brookings Institution economist William Gale, who co-authored a study of Romney’s tax plan for the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, “Romney’s plan doesn’t come close to paying for the $5 trillion.”

As a result of Romney’s plan falling short, the Tax Policy Center concluded that $86 billion of the shared national tax burden would be shifted onto the middle

class in 2015 alone. Otherwise, that amount would just be added to the federal deficit.

President Obama perfectly described Romney’s tax plan in last week’s debate: “The fact is, if you are lowering the rates the way you describe, Governor, it is not possible to come up with enough deductions or loopholes.”

Obama added, “It is math. It is arithmetic.”

Because Romney’s tax plan is based on the incorrect premise that he can actually pay for the gargantuan, across-the-board cuts in individual tax rates, there are two possible outcomes.

Either he will further increase the deficit, which he has flat-out refused to do, or he will just have to shift the burden to the middle class.

In a better world, Romney’s

plan would be considered nonsense and laughed out of the debate.

VIEW FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL

U.S. soldier pleads case after Sixth Amendment violation Nick Bell The Daily Cougar, U. Houston

UWIRE — Pfc. Bradley Manning made headlines in 2010 when he was arrested for the leak of around 250,000 private documents concerning operations in Iraq and Afghanistan to the website WikiLeaks, known for its mission of transparency in government.

Manning was arrested on May 26, 2010 and has been under U.S. military detainment ever since.

Recently, Manning’s defense attorney, David Coombs, filed a motion stating that Manning’s charges should be dismissed because his right to a speedy trial has been completely violated.

“As of the date of this motion, Pfc. Manning has been in pretrial confinement for 845 days,” Coombs said. “With trial scheduled to commence on Feb. 4, 2013, Pfc. Manning will have spent a grand total of 983 days in pretrial confinement before even a single piece of evidence is offered against him.”

Whether he is labeled a whistleblower or a cyber-terrorist, the handling of such a nonviolent criminal case by the military’s judicial system is absolutely horrendous. The underlying motive for journalists and the press is to inform an otherwise uninformed democratic society so people within can choose their political candidates accordingly.

Never in the history of the U.S. has any administration utilized the Espionage Act so frequently as President Barack Obama’s administration, and the exponential expansion of information into the hands of people through technology undoubtedly plays a role in the increase of these cases.

It’s ironic that Manning’s imposition of restraint could be more than 630 days before the trial for exposing the espionage acts of our government and then get charged as a spy.

We are entering a new age where government officials cannot protect their classified information from the people, and we are

starting to see an increased vigilance among the Internet community as a form of civil disobedience.

Users’ understanding of the Internet is increasing at a remarkable rate. The advances have been rapid, and it’s getting harder for anybody, including our government, to hide anything.

Manning’s case proves that Internet-related activities are going to fall under ever-increasing scrutiny until it is no longer a forum for the people.

Granted, Manning most likely had animosity toward the military and his peers because of the treatment toward his alleged “gender confusion,” as the military calls it. Wherever his motives to leak the information came from, Manning kept the military’s over-reaching arm in check.

The crimes blatantly committed on the videos are far worse than anything Manning has done, but none of these personnel were convicted or tried for any of these crimes.

This case will undoubtedly set

a precedent to decide how much the government can get away with in regards to military operations and prisoner detainment.

While the media tried to generate ad revenue off other stories like the Trayvon Martin case, the Manning case fell to the wayside.

It’s easy to get the public riled up over issues like race, but getting the public riled up against the

military-industrial complex is against the corporate conglomerates’ and governmental institution’s interests.
