Breaking down Obamacare Act aims to make insurance affordable

By Catherine Ferris Collegian Correspondent

With the recent passing of Obamacare, many people are left wondering what this means for them. Officially known as the Affordable Care Act, it was signed into law in 2010 and aims to make it easier and more affordable for Americans to get insured.

According to Obama-care. org, “(with) right around forty-four million Americans not being able to get health care coverage this law was created to change that.” The law was created with low

income Americans in mind, but every American will need health care insurance

by Jan. 1, 2014, or face a penalty.

If someone is charged with a penalty, it is important to know that simply paying the fine does not dismiss this person from acquiring coverage; everyone ultimately still remains responsible for getting health insurance.

Some of the key facts about the new Health Insurance Marketplace explained by marketplace. cms.gov include the “sixmonth enrollment period,” which is Oct. 1, 2013 until March 31, 2014; the fact that coverage begins as soon as Jan. 1, 2014; and the fact that “individuals may be eligible to get lower costs right away

to help … pay for insurance in the Marketplace.”

According to a CBSNews. com article, roughly half of the states in the country are still debating whether to embrace or reject a major portion of the law that expands Medicaid. CBS News also reported that fewer than one in five uninsured Americans have visited the state-based online marketplaces since they opened Oct. 1.

In a USA Today article, Deputy Director at Young Invincibles Jennifer Mishory said there will be three significant ways that students will be affected by the online marketplace: “Students who earn less than about $46,000 … may be able to access free coverage through Medicaid

Settlement reached in airline antitrust case Deal will allow the merger to continue By andrea ahles Fort Worth Star-Telegram FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines and US Airways have reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice in its antitrust case, both sides announced Tuesday.

The deal, which will allow the merger between American and US Airways to go forward, includes the airlines divesting 52 takeoff and landing slot pairs at Washington Reagan National Airport and 17 slot pairs at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The carriers are also giving up rights and

interests to two airport gates each at Boston, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas Love Field, Los Angeles and Miami.

“This agreement allows us to take the final steps in creating the new American Airlines,” American Chief Executive Tom Horton said in a statement. With the deal, the airlines should complete their merger in December and American will emerge from bankruptcy about two years after it first filed for bankruptcy protection.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said the deal has the potential to “shift the landscape of the airline industry.”

“By guaranteeing a bigger foothold for low-cost carriers at key U.S. airports, this settlement ensures airline

passengers will see more competition on nonstop and connecting routes throughout the country,” Holder said.

American and US Airways also agreed to maintain its hubs in Charlotte, N.C.; New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport; Los Angeles; Miami; Chicago O’Hare; Philadelphia; and Phoenix for a period of three years in order to settle the antitrust concerns of state attorney generals who had joined the Justice Department’s lawsuit. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott pulled out of the lawsuit last month after the carriers agreed to keep its headquarters in North Texas and see

Students nationwide will find themselves in a very similar situation to each other. They have an option to purchase their own health insurance plans while in school, but many who have the opportunity will opt to remain under their parents’ insurance until they become employed or until age 26, when they legally must adopt a new plan for themselves. see

University of Massachusetts astronomer Mauro Giavalisco, along with scientists from several other institutions around the globe, has successfully identified the most distant, and therefore earliest, galaxy ever studied, according to a UMass press release.

The discovery came during a new survey of the distant universe conducted from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope.

Although previous Hubble-based observations have been able to identify other distant galaxies in the early universe, this is the farthest and earliest galaxy whose span can be clearly confirmed with continuous observations from the Keck I telescope, according to the release.

The survey was the largest investigation of the early universe ever made with the Hubble telescope, and two special cameras were required to measure the distance of the galaxy.

The research team consisted of scientists from Israel, Italy, Arizona, Maryland, California and Kentucky, as well as scientists from UMass and the University of Texas.

The team used a technique that Giavalisco helped develop in the early 1990s called “Lyman-break selection,” which involves enhancing the apparent colors of galaxies in order to deter-

mine their distance. This technique was useful in differentiating this distant galaxy from closer galaxies that obscure the light of other celestial objects.

This technique, however, can only provide vague distance estimates. Therefore, Giavalisco and his team had to calculate the distance of pre-selected, far-off galaxies, and estimate the age at which they are being observed. This was necessary to date the galaxy properly and measure its mass, luminosity and starformation rate, according to the release.

In the release, Giavalisco said that colors can be indicators of a variety of physical processes happening inside a galaxy—for example, whether or not the galaxies form stars and how much dust is in them. Giavalisco said that dust makes the color of stars more red because it dims stellar light. According to the release, the team required very powerful spectroscopic telescopes to detect the Lyman-alpha emission line.

This is a specific spectral feature emitted by hydrogen in a particularly narrow range of ultraviolet wavelengths, which is invisible to the human eye, the release said.

The Lyman-alpha emission was necessary in order to measure how far away this galaxy is from our own.

The telescope used in the study was the Keck 10-meter telescope in Hawaii, one of the most powerful spectroscopic instruments available. It was used to detect the Lyman-alpha emission and see

Workers struggle to reach typhoon victims Many remain in far-flung locations By sunshine de leon and BarBara demiCk Los Angeles Times MANILA, Philippines —Four days after Typhoon Haiyan blew away their homes and livelihoods, most Philippine victims remain in far-flung flooded coastal communities where they so far have been unable to obtain assistance, aid workers say.

The United Nations on Tuesday launched an appeal for $301 million to help victims, while U.S. and British warships headed toward the region.

In its appeal for funds, the U.N. estimated that more than 11 million people have been affected by the typhoon, one of the strongest storms ever to hit land, with 660,000 left homeless.

The official death toll passed 1,700 on Tuesday and is expected to rise substantially.

However, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III downplayed estimates that 10,000 or more people may have died, telling CNN that the death toll would more likely be about 2,000 to 2,500 people.

Arriving Tuesday in Manila to coordinate the efforts, U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said that money was needed for

“food, health, sanitation, shelter, debris removal and also protection of the most vulnerable.”

Before her arrival, the U.N. released $25 million in emergency funds. Other governments have pledged more than $35 million.

On the hard-hit island of Leyte, there is only one major airport; it’s in the devastated city of Tacloban.

Aid workers say that the road from the airport into the city is so clogged with debris, interspersed with the now-putrefying remains of the dead, that it takes three hours to get from the airport into the city center.

Poland arrests more than 70 over attack WARSAW, Poland — Polish police on Tuesday arrested 72 nationalists linked to riots and attempts to break into the premises of the Russian Embassy in Warsaw, during an Independence Day march the previous day.

Twelve police officers and 19 protesters were injured in the violence, which started during a march by nationalists who threw stones at police.

The Russian ambassador to Poland, Alexander Alexeyev, complained Tuesday that police had failed to protect the building adequately. He said that a “hysterically anti-Russian mood” prevails in Poland.

The Polish Foreign Ministry issued a statement in which it expressed “deep regret over the violent behaviour” that had occurred. dpa

to confirm its nature.

The distance of the galaxy discovered by Giavalisco was recorded at a redshift of 7.51, meaning that it is the farthest ever recorded. The results indicate that at the time the galaxy was formed, the universe was 700 million years old. Today, it is 13.8 billion years old. During the time it was formed, the universe was eight and a half times smaller than it is today and 600 times denser, and it was expanding eight and a half times faster, according to the release.

The discovery of such a young, distant galaxy by a survey that was not originally designed to do so came as a surprise to the researchers. According to first author, Steve Finkelstein, from the University of Texas, Giavalisco and others in a recent article published in Nature Journal, this discovery suggests that the infant universe may contain a much larger number of intense star-forming galaxies than astronomers believed possible. Because of this, theories and predictive models of the distribution of star formation in galaxies may need updating, the

release said.

In the press release, Giavalisco used the analogy of how a brick being thrown through a window is expected to produce a large number of small glass shards and a few large glass shards to explain the beginning hypothesis of his team.

“We expected to find a lot more small objects with this survey,” said Giavalisco in the release. He said that their survey was not originally designed to find these distant galaxies with such a high rate of star formation. He and his team, however, were able to observe the highly active object on the first try. This could indicate a stroke of great luck, or it could mean that their predictive models were slightly off.

The astronomer said that the high level of luminosity that is powered by the star formation activity of this new galaxy “raised a tantalizing question about whether we’ve got the theory of galaxy formation correct in its fundamental ideas.” He added, “These mechanisms are not yet fully understood.”

Nation’s tallest skyscraper is new World Trade Center

By TiNa susMaN Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK — A panel of building experts on Tuesday anointed New York’s new World Trade Center tower the nation’s tallest skyscraper, accepting its spire as part of a design that makes it 1,776 feet high and that knocks Chicago’s Willis Tower out of the No. 1 spot.

The Chicago-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat made its much-anticipated decision public at news conferences in Chicago and in New York, where the announcement came at a building just two blocks from the World Trade Center.

“Our height committee reached consensus that in fact the building is 1,776 feet in height,” council chairman Timothy Johnson said.

The decision fulfills the vision of the designers of the World Trade Center site to show that New York was not afraid of building an even higher structure in

place of the one targeted by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001.

The 1,776-foot height was aimed at sending a message of patriotism and resilience.

Architect Rick Bell, the executive director of the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects, said the new building, like the old, speaks to the national and international aspiration for height.

“Height matters. What people value in real estate is the view of the wide world,” Bell said. “There’s something special about being high up. The idea of being able to look down and see the big world - it’s celestial. There’s no other word for it.”

The council is a nonprofit organization founded in 1969 to monitor high-rise construction worldwide and to set criteria for what constitutes a skyscraper.

In recent years, as designers have become more creative in their construction of the communications antennae that top new sky-

scrapers, the council has been called upon to determine whether those antennae should count toward a building’s overall height.

That was the issue at hand with the new building in lower Manhattan, One World Trade Center.

It replaced the tower destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks, which stood at 1,368 feet. Questions about the new building’s height were raised last year, after the architects changed the design to remove material that was to have enclosed the 408-foot spire protruding from the top.

“The design changed in a very public way, and that threw everything into question. It was no longer clearly a piece of the design and it seemed to have sort of been stripped down to the skeleton,” Daniel Safarik, of the council, said in explaining what went into the group’s deliberations.

Without the spire, the building is shorter than the Willis Tower, formerly the Sears Tower.

List of works from Nazi art stash released Officials disclose preliminary roster

Russia, Vietnam sign deals on energy

Responding to international pressure, officials in Germany have released a preliminary list of the more than 1,400 works of art discovered in a Munich apartment that are believed to have been improperly acquired by the Nazis.

On Tuesday, authorities began publishing an online roster of the works found in the apartment of Cornelius Gurlitt, an art dealer who is the son of the Nazi art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt.

The partial list of just 25 works was published on the site Lost Art Database on Tuesday, but the site has been experiencing technical difficulties, presumably because of high traffic.

Gurlitt was found to be hoarding 1,406 works of art in his apartment in the Schwabing district in Munich. Authorities made the discovery last year but kept quiet about it until the German magazine Focus broke the news in late October.

The cache is believed by many to be one of the most important discoveries of Nazi looted art since World War II. Experts expect the process

of authenticating the works recovered from Gurlitt’s apartment to take years.

Among the works listed on the website are: “Moorish Conversation on a Terrace” by Eugene Delacroix, “Riders on the Beach” by Max Liebermann, “Seated Woman/Woman Sitting in Armchair” by Henri Matisse, “Allegory/Allegorical Scene” by Marc Chagall, and “Study of a Woman Nude, Standing, Arms Raised, Hands Crossed Above Head”

by Auguste Rodin. (Several of these works were disclosed last week by the prosecutor investigating Gurlitt.)

The Lost Art Database is an official German site that lists cultural objects that were seized during World War II and the Holocaust, particularly from Jewish owners. Officials are expected to update the list of works recovered from Gurlitt’s apartment on an ongoing basis.

On Monday, German officials said they are creating a task force whose mission is to investigate the provenance of the 1,406 works of art. It remains unclear exactly how many of the works were acquired from German museums under the Nazi’s “degenerate art” policies.

The task force must also determine which pieces were acquired from Jewish owners during the Holocaust.

entirely impassable.

“We have not been able to get into the remote communities,” Amos told reporters.

“Even in Tacloban, because of the debris and the difficulties with logistics and so on, we have not been able to get in the level of supply that we would want to. We are going to do as much as we can to bring in more.”

Katherine Manik, country director for ChildFund International, said that an aid crew was able to reach the city of Ormoc on the other side of Leyte by boat but couldn’t move far from the dock.

“There is a critical need for fresh drinking water and food, but it is very difficult to get anything in. There aren’t enough boats. There is no electricity. Nobody can even recharge their cellphones,” Manik said.

Even in at the makeshift clinic next to the Tacloban Airport, where the Philippine Air Force’s C-130 cargo planes have been making regular runs from Manila, aid workers complained that they have no medicine to treat emergency cases.

“It’s overwhelming,” air force Capt. Antonio Tamayo told the Inquirer Daily News. “We need more medicine. We cannot give anti-tetanus vaccine shots because we have none.”

One difficulty is that the infrastructure of local government has disappeared.

Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez told reporters that of 1,300 police, only 100 were coming to work.

Telephones are not working and local radio is out.

One radio anchorman in Tacloban City was drowned as he gave updates on the typhoon from a two-story office building downtown, using generators to make up for the lack of electrical power.

The last anybody heard from him was when the program abruptly went off the air.

The coastal topography of the Philippines might have contributed to the unexpectedly high storm surges, which many witnesses compared to a tsunami.

“The entire country is coastal areas. It isn’t like India. There isn’t much inland. This typhoon made landfall in the Philippines nine times at different locations. You had not just the wind, but the tidal surges and the swelling of water,” said Warner Passanisi, the global emergency response coordinator at ChildFund International.

Although there were warnings for days about the typhoon, many people did not evacuate, confident because they had weathered previous storms.

Narcissa Abordo, a 65-year-old grandmother from Tacloban who runs a boarding house, was tak-

A resident sits on debris in typhoon-hit Leyte Province on Nov. 12. ing care of her two young grandchildren to help out her daughter, who lives in Manila. She was awakened Friday at 3 a.m. by powerful winds and started to prepare breakfast for her grandchildren.

Suddenly, there was a rushing sound and a “black whirlpool of water,” she said. Abordo passed the children one by one to her boarders, who took them to high ground in the second floor of a neighbor’s house.

The water, she said, rose to 13 feet in 10 seconds.

Abordo and her son were swept away by the rushing water. As the water rose, it slid them past houses from one tin roof to another, and they tried to grab onto whatever electric wires they passed. Abordo could not swim. She survived only because her son carried her

on his shoulders.

She said she pleaded with her son: “Please save yourself - I am already old. You can leave me. You are young.” He refused. “I will never leave you,” she recalled him saying.

Mother and son survived the storm, but her grandchildren were not so lucky.

Abordo said she will never understand what happened. She was told that one child got nervous because the water was rising and jumped in. Shortly after, the other child jumped in. The children, she was told, were crying and yelling, “Mama, Mama, Papa.”

Her grandson’s body has been found; the granddaughter is still missing.

“But,” said Abordo, “I think she is nearby because I saw her skirt when I walked down a street.”

It’s the end of the line for Bulger Mobster will be sentenced this week

By Edmund H. maHony The Hartford Courant

BOSTON —The grotesque violence and treachery revealed during James “Whitey” Bulger’s racketeering trial last summer destroyed the image - created by his corrupt partners in law enforcement - that he was the city’s “good” bad guy.

Whatever remains, if anything, should vanish this week, when one of the country’s most ruthless criminals and the author of one its most perfidious conspiracies is sentenced to life in prison.

The court will be filled with Bulger’s victims - wives, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters of the 10 men and one woman he was convicted of killing, as well as relatives of others who were shot, stabbed and strangled by his partners in the Winter Hill Gang.

Some victims have submitted written statements to the court, hoping to give voice to the emptiness they say Bulger and his partners created in their lives and in those of their children and grandchildren. Other victims will stand at a podium and speak directly to the 84-year old Bulger, who will be seated just out of reach at a table with his lawyers.

“People talk about closure,” Pat Donahue said last week. “There’s no such thing as closure. I don’t like the word. My husband is gone.

We had to live with it. We continue to have to live with it.”

Bulger used a machine gun to cut down Donahue’s husband, Michael Donahue, on May 11, 1982. Corrupt FBI agents on Bulger’s payroll were responsible for leaking the information that set

in motion the events that resulted in Donahue’s death.

And the conspiracy between Bulger and his partners in law enforcement kept the identities of the killers a secret for two decades.

The day he died, Michael Donahue borrowed a car from his father, a Boston policeman. He kissed his wife goodbye, and drove from their home in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood to the fish pier in South Boston to buy bait.

The couple had three young sons. The youngest, Tommy, had just celebrated first communion. His father had promised to take him fishing.

At the foot of the pier, in the Dockside Cafe, Michael Donahue had the bad luck to bump into Edward Brian Halloran, a disaffected member of Bulger’s Winter Hill Gang. Halloran needed a ride home and Michael Donahue agreed to give him one.

Donahue did not know that Halloran, hoping to become a protected government witness, had just approached the FBI and implicated Bulger in the murder of an Oklahoma tycoon who owned World Jai Alai, a legalized gambling company that operated in Hartford.

But Bulger knew, having being tipped by a corrupt agent. Bulger and other gang members were hunting across Boston for Halloran.

The hunt paid off when a gang member spotted Halloran at the Dockside. When he and Michael Donahue climbed into Donahue’s car, Bulger roared by in a souped up Chevrolet and opened fire with a machine gun.

Michael Donahue died vio lently for doing someone a favor and Pat Donahue found out when she saw her fatherin-law’s bullet-riddled car on the television news that night.

“I’m satisfied that they finally looked for Mr. Bulger,”

Wednesday, November 13, 2013

Pat Donahue said last week.

“And that they caught him.

I’m satisfied that he was convicted of my husband’s murder. But we had so many wonderful things ahead of us that he missed.”

Such as her grandchildren.

John Connolly, the agent who leaked Bulger the Halloran information, also tipped Bulger to his impending indictment in 1995.

Connolly and Bulger grew up in the same South Boston public housing project and, as adults, became joined in a perverted symbiosis.

Bulger became Connolly’s FBI informant, providing Connolly with enough secrets about the Boston underworld to make Connolly a star agent.

Bulger, in turn, got what amounted to a gang member inside the FBI who helped him avoid arrest, while eliminating competition from rival criminal organizations.

Connolly was tried before Bulger and is serving a life sentence.

Bulger disappeared for 16 years. He was the world’s most wanted fugitive until his capture in Santa Monica, Calif., in June 2011. FBI agents ran him down to a sunny, rent-controlled apartment four blocks from the Pacific Ocean. They found 30 guns, a facsimile hand grenade, eight knives, a Taser and $821,799.49 in cash, much of it hidden in the walls.

He claimed to be broke after the government seized the cash and shipped him back to Boston. The court appointed him two public defenders who had billed the government $2.667 million for his defense as of Sept. 10.

Late last week, the defense had not disclosed through filings in court what it will argue at sentencing.

Bulger’s prosecutors asked U.S. District Judge

Denise J. Casper for life in prison in a surprisingly short (six-page), matter-of-fact legal memo that suggests Bulger is remarkable only for depravity.

“James “Whitey” Bulger is one of the most violent and despicable criminals in Boston history,” the memo opens. Elsewhere, it says, “There are no mitigating factors, and the defendant Bulger has no redeeming qualities ... “ In earlier legal filings, the government claims that Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang, from 1972 until 2000, collected “millions upon millions upon millions of dollars” from extortion, illegal gambling, industrial scale narcotics trafficking and other crimes. Between 1984 and 1986 alone, the government claims, Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang grossed $15 million from their drug business.

For purposes of the twoday sentencing hearing that will take place Wednesday and Thursday, the government calculated what prosecutors call a conservative estimate of the Bulger gang’s gross proceeds from 1972 to 2000: about $25 million. The estimate is based on evidence presented at the trial.

The purpose of the calculation is to allow the government to seek to seize up to $25 million in cash or other property from Bulger if, at any time in the future, it is determined that he hid assets before his capture.

Already, the estates of several of Bulger’s victims have filed restitution claims for whatever money or property the government recovers.

The government’s has proposed to evenly divide the $821,799.49 recovered from Bulger’s Santa Monica apartment among families of 20 victims.

maintain service at a dozen Texas airports over the next three years.

Of the slots that the airlines are releasing at Reagan, eight slot pairs are already leased and used by JetBlue Airways. Of the 17 slots at LaGuardia, five of those are currently leased and used by Southwest Airlines. Both JetBlue and Southwest had lobbied for slot divestitures as part of any settlement deal as they both want to expand their service at those slot-constricted airports.

A trial had been scheduled for Nov. 25 in federal court in Washington, D.C. The settlement deal will need to be approved by the judge, both sides said.

“We are pleased to have this lawsuit behind us and look forward to building the new American Airlines together,” said US Airways Chief Executive Doug Parker, who will become the new CEO of the combined carrier.

The unions that represent pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and ground workers cheered the settlement.

“This is fantastic news, not only for all the employ-

ees of the new American, but for consumers and the industry,” Association of Professional Flight Attendants President Laura Glading said in a statement.

The Allied Pilots Association said the settlement provides job security for its pilots and their families.

“We are pleased that the Justice Department, American and USAir have reached agreement on creating a viable competitor to Delta and United,” said APA spokesman Dennis Tajer.

The Transport Workers Union, which represents workers at both airlines, said the deal will allow the union to work out final details of merging its work groups at the airlines.

“Today’s announcement will allow TWU members at American Airlines to gain long-delayed raises.

Negotiations for our members at US Airways have been in limbo as a result of the DOJ’s actions; those talks can now move forward,” said TWU air transport director Garry Drummond.

“Brevity is the soul of wit.” - William Shakespeare

Editorial@DailyCollegiancom

Another campus sexual assault, this time invisible Recent news reports inform the public that yet another sexual assault occurred on the University of Massachusetts campus.

Brandon Sides On Sept. 2, an 18-year-old male student is alleged to have assaulted a female student. Bystanders intervened, police soon apprehended the alleged attacker, who is no longer a student at the University.

At least two news reports reveal UMass students’ surprise that the incident took place. After all, the school failed to disclose the alleged crime to the campus community.

The administration declined to send an emergency text notification, and it similarly declined to later release an email to the school.

The news report describes student disappointment at the school’s inaction, but if we use the Clery Act to guide our judgment, then UMass acted within reason. This act requires colleges and universities that use federal aid programs to comply with its regulations on addressing campus crime.

On the whole, UMass systematically complies with this act. For example, administrators have devised an emergency response system as well as release an annual crime log.

The Clery Act also requires relevant schools to “issue timely warnings about Clery Act crimes

which pose a serious or ongoing threat to students and employees.” Under this requirement, UMass’ actions fall well within legal bounds. Since police quickly caught the alleged sole offender, the incident ceased to pose a threat to the UMass community and thus failed to legally warrant campus-wide notification.

Nothing justifies sexual assault, so we should do all that we can to develop methods that prevent it. One of the easiest ways is for the campus community to engage in dialogue about the topic. When this dialogue occurs, people create and promote suggestions such as the need to increase the number of blue lights on campus or

By the time students pack their bags for Thanksgiving break, more offenders will surely have committed these horrific crimes. Within recent years, more student victims have come forward with their horror stories.

Six cases of sexual assault occurred in 2009: 12 in 2010; 13 in 2011; and 15 in 2012.

I don’t claim that UMass deals with this issue inadequately — on the contrary, our school stands as a leader in higher education regarding confronting sexual violence. The school participates in the Five College Clothesline Project, educates Residential Life staff on the topic and advertises resources such as the Center for Women and Community.

It even hosted a regional conference about sexual and domestic violence to more than 100 school administrators earlier this semester.

The administration’s attitude toward sexual violence reveals the school’s already mature approach to an issue that peer institutions often shy away from.

However, by improving its response methods now, the University can garner only more constructive responses by the community in the future.

in his treatment of dissidents, was an ally of the United States and one of the more effective tools that the global community had in dealing with terrorism. Now, with Libya in a state of near anarchy, ultimately nobody knows who is going to wind up in governing the nation for any length of time. Where there was once consistency, there is now chaos.

Syria, of course, stands as the ultimate failure of the United States to assert any kind of authority in the Middle East. With over 100,000 dead and millions displaced, the same man who would condemn a dictator for cracking down on protesters stood by and watched the region ravaged by a war against an oppressive regime.

Obama did go to other countries to rally support for a strike on Syria after a chemical attack resulted in over 1,300 deaths, but with so many people and their families destroyed, the designation of this particular attack as justification for force seems arbitrary. In fact, in the face of the atrocities committed in Syria, Obama’s outrage at Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi seems just as arbitrary. Ultimately the United States didn’t even muster up a plan of action for Syria. In his foreign policy with regard to the Middle East, President Obama looks like a hypocrite. Aside from the rhetoric of the speeches, the only thing he has contributed to the Middle East is turmoil and pain, all in the name of freedom of speech.

“Instead of prudence and measured change, Obama opted for idealism and strong-arming, and Egyptian citizens paid the price.”

New fashion line will ‘Outlive’ others Local student gains funds for new duds

By Jake Reed Collegian Staff

From musicians to painters to clothing designers, the Pioneer Valley is full of talented artists, including Burke Cullinane of Monson. The lead singer of the Ludlow-based metal hardcore band In Numbers recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund a new clothing line called Outlive.

As part of the campaign, four T-shirts are currently available to pre-order for $15 each. The shirts feature two designs on either a gray or black tee: one is a simple feather while the other, inspired by a dream catcher, features three feathers and the brand’s logo. The 30-day campaign ends on Nov. 23 and has currently raised $60 of its $1,000 goal. If the campaign is unsuccessful, he will take out a $1,000 loan or fund the project from his savings account.

“The plan is to have profit, but I’m not expecting a huge amount,” Cullinane said.

“I’m more about spreading the message and helping out other, younger bands and younger designers.”

The hope that the brand

will spread is summed up by the line’s motto: “Outlive your dreams.” For Cullinane, this project is his chance to do just that. He added that the line’s two T-shirt designs capture this message.

“The feather and dream catcher (represent) protection,” he said. “Protecting and leading yourself, (and) being who you are.”

The process hasn’t been without its share of obstacles, however.

“Some people have been like, ‘Why are you wasting your time doing graphic design? You should grow up and get a real job,’” he said, adding, “This is what I’m passionate about.”

Others have encouraged Cullinane to try to achieve a goal that many never aspire to.

“My whole family is supportive of me. Even my grandparents,” he said. “I don’t know if I’d be in a band or doing this if my parents weren’t as supportive as they are.”

Aside from lack of funding and lack of support from some friends, the biggest challenge for Cullinane was deciding on a name that suited the brand.

“I would wake up one day and be like, ‘This is a cool name,’” he said. “The next day (I’d) be like, ‘That’s stupid. What was I thinking?’”

When he stumbled upon

“Outlive,” it felt right: “The minute I thought of it I was like, ‘That’s it,’” he said.

Aside from Outlive, Cullinane operates Burke Cullinane Design & Media, through which he creates album covers, merchandise and lyric videos for other bands. He is also a parttime student at Holyoke Community College. While he has been learning design for six years and doing more serious design work for the past three, Outlive is his first attempt at a full-fledged clothing line.

After the initial line of shirts, Cullinane hopes to create beanie hats with the brand’s logo, jackets, hoodies and more shirt designs.

In addition, he plans to create basketball shorts for the spring season, a staple of hardcore and pop punk music culture.

“You’ll go to Warped Tour and every kid, if they’re wearing basketball shorts, it’s a band’s basketball shorts,” he said.

Cullinane hopes to get the first batch of shirts out in December, just in time for the holiday season. If you’re still looking for the perfect Christmas present for your family, he’s got an idea: “Buy a shirt for your dad.” burke cullinane/outlive

Vanessa Hudgens look Dress like the star on a college budget By ana Hoyos Collegian Correspondent Beginning as a child star on the Disney Channel, Vanessa Hudgens has become an iconic celebrity known for her carefree, unique style. Since her role as Gabriella Montez in “High School Musical,” Hudgens’ style has evolved and matured throughout the years, but she always stays true to her girly look.

Hudgens always brings a youthful yet edgy style to the red carpet, wearing either vibrant colors or long dark dresses that give off sultry appeal. She has experimented with many styles, from punk rock and dark colors to the earthy, Bohemian look she’s been seen sporting at recent music festivals. A quick Internet search should reveal plenty of photos capturing the casual yet bold street style she wears when running an errand or strolling around town.

As winter rolls around, combat boots, camo or olive green jackets and parkas and cable knit sweaters are great investments to channel Hudgens’ look. H&M offers thick knit sweaters in plenty of colors for around $20 each, as well as knee- or thigh-high boots from $40 and up.

Another item to consider is a pair of flare jeans, which Hudgens often pairs with a crocheted top (which is easy to make yourself) and an oversized cardigan. Gap is known for its form-fitting flare jeans, available in all rises and washes from $40.

Forever 21 also has a varied denim collection.

Winter or summer, Hudgens hits the streets in Bohemian-inspired style.

During the spring and summer, Hudgens is often seen wearing flowy, fresh, maxi dresses with cardigans or sweaters layered over them for a hippie-inspired touch. One casual look in particular consisted of a partially-sequined off-white maxi dress layered with a printed black and white cardigan and brown boots. She accessorized this simple outfit with several long, chunky necklaces, large piled-on rings, a slouchy white knit beanie and an Alexander Wang studded purse. Urban Outfitters has many casual (and even some formal) maxi dresses and tons of cardigans. Though these range from $40-$90, they are always worth the splurge.

Hudgens claims to love thrift shops, and visiting one is a great way to score her look, especially if you’re looking for the perfect pair of booties or some multicol-

ored flannels on a budget.

As for her designer items, a college student can always buy a similar knockoff style.

Brandy Melville’s affordable designer-inspired T-shirts and beanies range from $10$30, and online stores like ASOS and Nasty Gal constantly have sales on all their items. ASOS even includes a pre-owned and vintage section.

Replicating the Vanessa Hudgens look is easy and can be very affordable – all that you need is an eclectic taste and an eye for the right pieces. For more inspiration, you can find blogs dedicated to her street style, which include pictures of her festival or red carpet looks and the exact stores and designers responsible for her clothes and accessories in each.

He made his presence felt down the stretch in the second 20 minutes, igniting the crowd with two ferocious dunks to push the lead to 69-59. Lalanne scored 16 points in the second half in a back-and-forth battle with Tigers center Johnny O’Bryant.

“That’s just Cady being Cady,” Williams said. “The world has yet to see that so us teammates make sure we tell him, ‘Go out there and dominate every game and make the world realize you are potentially one of the best big-men in the country.’”

Foul trouble plagued both teams. There were 34 fouls called in the first half and Lalanne eventually fouled out with 2:15 remaining.

For UMass, that was Raphiael Putney.

Putney played just 17 minutes in the season opener and struggled with foul trouble in both the opener and the exhibition against American International College. Kellogg noted on multiple occasions during the preseason that in order for UMass to reach the next level, Putney would need to be effective.

“I just came out with a vengeance today,” Putney said. “I just tried to rebound the basketball a lot more, which I did, and go out there and just play my game.”

He scored 14 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked two shots in 30 minutes of play including a vicious put-back dunk with 7:47 to go in the first half off a missed free throw which Williams noted sparked the team.

LSU was the beneficiary of strong front-court play which kept the game competitive. O’Bryant scored 23 points on 9-of-18 shooting and added 11 rebounds. Jordan Mickey added 16 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks.

He chipped in with two points and two rebounds.

And although he picked up four fouls in the first half, leaving him on the bench for the rest of the contest, he didn’t let the quick whistles deter him from playing his game.

“I thought (Bergantino) was fantastic again (Tuesday),” Kellogg said.

“He was banging and hitting people and rebounding. He did a great job. (I) actually wish I could’ve played him a little bit more in the second half.”

When the second half began, Lalanne entered back into the game, scoring 16 points before fouling out with just over two minutes left in the game.

“With him not being on the floor, it helped us a lot,” Chaz Williams said.

“He takes up a lot of space, he creates a lot of offense for their team and we took a lot of pressure off our big guys because he was out and they didn’t have to worry about banging so much.”

One player that flourished in this closely called game was Carter. He took a game-high 15 free throws, making 11, including the final four at the end of the game to seal the

Carter prides himself on getting to the basket and drawing contact, but up until this season wasn’t getting the calls. Now, with the new rule in place, he sees it as an opportunity to play his game.

“Honestly, I’m glad they changed the rules,” he said. “Throughout my career here, I’ve always been looking to get the body contact and (the refs) will just look at me and it looked like I threw up some stuff and now, just to know I’m getting the calls, it’s an amazing feeling.”

Francona gets AL Manager of the Year Indians won 92 games this year By shEldon oCkEr Akron Beacon Journal

Terry Francona won two World Series championships with the Boston Red Sox but never received a first-place vote as the American League’s top manager until he led the Indians to a second-place finish in the Central Division this year.

In turning around a team that won 68 games in 2012, Francona was named AL Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers Association of America on Tuesday night.

The Indians won 92 games and finished as the league’s No. 1 wild-card entry before falling to the Tampa Bay Rays in the one-game showdown for the right to move on to the Division Series.

What changed among the writers who vote for manager of the year?

“I honestly don’t know,” Francona said from his home in Tucson, Ariz. “It’s hard to answer when you’re talking about yourself.”

In addition to making

the right moves on the field, Francona altered the mindset of his players, persuading them to believe in themselves and to focus on one game at a time. He went out of his way to make players feel comfortable and put them in a position in which they wanted to give their best effort.

“This is really an organizational award,” Francona said.

“I’m honored to get it, but this is a huge organizational award. That’s what makes me so happy ... That we did it together.”

Francona took pride in many things that occurred this year.

“I was proud of our effort,” he said. “I thought we were resilient. I think our guys enjoyed playing the game the right way, and I enjoyed being around our coaches.”

During the season, Francona often talked about the way his players related to each other.

“When we clinched (the wild-card berth) in Minnesota, those hugs were real,” he said.

“And I couldn’t wait to get to (General Manager) Chris (Antonetti). What made it so much fun is that we had so many contributions from all

over the map. That’s how we won.”

Fans were incredulous that Francona would take a job with the Indians after he had spent 12 years in large markets, four managing the Philadelphia Phillies and eight with the Red Sox, where his teams won 90 or more games six times.

Few among the Indians’ faithful thought Francona would agree to manage in Cleveland, where payrolls have been consistently among the bottom 25 percent in the majors.

His presence probably induced to the club to spend $78 million last season, still below the middle of the pack but $18 million more than the previous year. “(The money) doesn’t really mean anything when you get on the field,” Francona said Tuesday night. “The reason I took the job is because of the relationships I had. And this was one of the funnest years I’ve had ... We had a lot of fun, and there were a lot of good people.”

Francona spent the first five years of his life in Cleveland, until the Indians sold his father Tito’s contract

to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1964. Tito Francona was one of the club’s most popular players during his five seasons with the team.

Terry Francona also played for the Indians in 1991, when he began to form friendships with then-General Manager Mark Shapiro (now club president) and his lieutenant Antonetti.

Of the 28 first-place votes, Francona received 16. He also was awarded 10 second-place votes and two for third place.

Runner-up John Farrell, who led the Red Sox to a World Series title, got 12 first-place votes, 10 second-place votes and six for third. Bob Melvin, who managed the Oakland Athletics to their second consecutive Western Division championship, had the other two first-place votes plus five for second and 11 for third.

Asked how he would celebrate his award, Francona said, “I’ve got a load of laundry in the washer; I’ll go play golf tomorrow like always, get up and take a swim.

“The way I celebrated was (being there) the whole year.

I got to live it. That means more than getting any trophy or plaque.”

“They’re on top of their game right now,” said coach Bob Newcomb. “It’s a really good sign that their hard work is paying off for them.”

The Minutewomen achieved the top four scores in both diving events. For the 1-meter and the 3-meter dives, Mikhaila Eckhardt, Rachel Dushman, Rhiannon Froman and Julia Jagannath rounded out the top four.

This success came in spite of the absence of senior diver Michaela Butler, who finished in first place in every diving event this season prior to the meet against Brown. She did not

participate on Saturday due to undisclosed reasons. “[The divers] did a great job,” Newcomb said. “They are learning their dives, they are working very hard and they are a fun group to watch dive together.”

The UMass men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will return to action on Nov. 22 for the three-day Terrier Invitational held in Boston, where numerous schools from the northeast region will participate, including Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern and Vermont.

Minutemen top LSU in home opener

By Mark Chiarelli Collegian Staff

It was a fitting way to end the game.

Sampson Carter, a Baton Rouge, La., native, stood at the line with a chance to preserve a lead his team desperately clung to against a pesky Louisiana State team.

Calmly, Carter sunk two pairs of foul shots within the final 14 seconds to deliver a 92-90 victory for the Massachusetts men’s basketball team in front of 5,182 raucous midday fans.

The game was littered with fouls, with 54 called in total against both teams and 65 free throws attempted.

Carter aggressively set the tone early and often, scoring 11 of his 17 points at the charity stripe and sending LSU into a bevy of foul trouble.

“I think I’m a guy that does well under pressure,” Carter said. “Anytime in that situation, I feel like I can knock (the free throws) down.”

It was Carter’s free throws which calmed an intense final 60 seconds which saw LSU (0-1) frustrate UMass coach Derek Kellogg’s unit.

Despite the frenetic pace of

the game, the Tigers only led once.

“They showed that we’re a little more mature than we’ve been in years past,” Kellogg said. “When teams make a run at us we kinda kept at it and kept fighting.”

Carter reveled in being the deciding factor against the Tigers.

“Oh man, I just came out with a lot of ambition and fire,” Carter said. “I can’t even explain the feeling of playing against them, I never thought I’d be able to even get the chance to play against them in my career here.”

UMass pushed the lead in the second half up to doubledigits twice, but LSU continued to battle back, cutting the deficit to 77-76 with 8:30 to go. Most of the second half resembled the feel of an NCAA Tournament-type game played in mid-November.

“It was very physical, very intense,” point guard Chaz Williams said.

“First play of the game there was trash-talking between both teams so you see

Massachusetts men’s basketball coach Derek Kellogg used the term “ticky-tack” to describe the foul calls.

Louisiana State coach Johnny Jones said the referees made it clear early on how the game was going to be called.

Either way you look at it, the 54 combined fouls played a major role in UMass’ 92-90 victory over the Tigers Tuesday at Mullins Center.

In the offseason, the NCAA made it a point for officials to crack down on hand-checking fouls, hoping to open up the game and lead to more offense.

That proved to be the case in this game, with the two sides scoring a collective 182 points and attempting 65 free throws.

“It was actually a good basketball game, 92-90, I think that’s what the fans like to see,” Kellogg said.

While the scoring was up, much of that had to do with the numerous trips to the free-throw line for both

teams because of those “ticky-tack” fouls.

The officiating wore on the 5,182 in attendance who grew frustrated during the first half as the refs refused to let either side get away with any sort of contact.

LSU (0-1) committed their 10th foul only nine minutes, 58 seconds into the game, putting the Minutemen (2-0) in the double bonus for the rest of the half.

The real impact the foul calls had on the game was on each team’s rotation and how both Jones and Kellogg used certain players down the stretch.

“Because of foul trouble, Sampson (Carter) moved over on (Johnny) O’Bryant (III) some,” Kellogg said.

“And what I have to do and I talked about this in the locker room with the guys, is we have to figure out a way to start getting Demetrius (Dyson), Seth (Berger) and Clyde (Santee) some playing time.”

The planned rotation that Kellogg envisioned prior to the game went to see

This weekend, the Massachusetts club hockey team looked to improve its record to 8-5 after taking on Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Friday and Vermont on Saturday.

On Saturday, the Minutemen defeated the Catamounts 2-1 in a backand-forth affair. Both Mike Spunt and Brett Mason notched goals for UMass.

Mason’s goal occurred on a power play and became the eventual game winner.

Andrew McLeman had another solid game in net, giving up only one goal.

The Minutemen won despite committing four penalties.

On Friday, however, the Minutemen were plagued by even more penalties.

UMass coach Jamie Magarian said, “It’s hard to play hockey when you are always in the penalty box.” He continued, “We can’t get any flow in the lines and it gets tough to keep the guys settled down.”

Despite the penalties, the Minutemen outlasted RPI 4-3 in what ended up as a close game.

UMass scored its first goal off of a great passing sequence with 4:35 left in the first period.

Kyle Wakefield scored the Minutemen’s second goal after juking out the RPI goalie. Less than a minute later, however, UMass was called for two penalties, and RPI took advantage with a goal.

Magarian reflected that this was when his team started to raise the energy and pick up momentum.

“We started a little bit too slow,” he said. “We are a much faster skating team than what we displayed in the first 30 minutes of hockey, and we finally started getting things together in the second period.”

Nick Carter proceeded to score with 11:02 left in the second period.

The Minutemen went on to capitalize on RPI

Jamie magarian umass coach mistakes with a goal by Jonathan Fuchs.

“We played well for the last 25 minutes of hockey,” Magarian said.

With 2:45 left in the second period, however, UMass was called for multiple penalties.

“Sometimes it feels like the calls aren’t going our way. ... I shouldn’t comment on it either way, but you can hear the people around the rink calling the same thing,” Magarian said.

Right after the penalty was called, RPI scored another goal, bringing the score to 4-2. Right after the goal, however, the Minutemen were called for yet another penalty, which gave RPI another opportunity to score. With 2:16 left in the game, RPI made it a one-goal deficit.

Magarian believes that the frustration with the penalties made his players lose their edge. To illustrate the point, he noted that he was once told that “anger is the wind that blows out the candle to the mind.”

Magarian also made it clear that players lose their focus when calls aren’t going their way. In fact, he asserted that over the last four minutes, his team fell apart and the frustration snowballed.

Despite a close game, UMass survived and will take on Boston College next weekend.

Magarian was pleased to emerge on top and said that “a win is a win.”

UM suffers setback with losses to Brown on Saturday By anthony ChiuSano Collegian Staff

On Saturday, the Massachusetts men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams were defeated by Brown in a dual meet on the road in Providence, R.I..

The men’s team lost 201-93 and the women’s team lost 173-127.

Coming off their first victory of the season against Binghamton on Nov. 2, the Minutemen (1-3) could not maintain a winning streak, as they failed to win a single swimming event against the Bears.

One of UMass’ best performances came from the 200-yard freestyle relay team, comprised of John Conway, Wiktor Karpinski, Troy Nichols and Brian Stiles. The team finished with a com-

bined time of 1:25.05: Good enough for second place.

Junior Michael Glenn also finished in second place in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:57.66.

Despite struggling overall in the pool, the Minutemen continued to find success on the diving board, led by sophomore Josh Koppel.

Koppel finished in first place in both the 1-meter (296.80) and 3-meter (325.20) dives, accumulating a teamhigh 18 points for UMass for the day. Koppel has now taken first place in these two events in each of the Minutemen’s four meets so far this season.

Minutewomen fall to Brown The Minutewomen (2-2) also lost to Brown on Saturday, but they did find success in the form of junior Zoe Judd and freshman Meriza Werenski.

Both swimmers were rewarded with conference honors following their contributions in last weekend’s victory against the Bearcats.

Judd was named the Atlantic 10 Swimmer of the Week and Werenski took home the title of Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week.

Judd continued to perform well in her freestyle events against the Bears, as she finished first in the 50-yard freestyle (24.03) and second in the 100-yard (52.13) and 200-yard freestyle races (1:51.85).

Werenski finished first in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:03.97), 200-yard breaststroke (2:17.44) and the 200yard individual medley (2:05.12).

In addition, Judd and Werenski both contributed to see
