Champaign Fire Department offi cials continue to investigate the cause of a fi re that broke out in an apartment at 310 E. Chalm-ers St. in Champaign on Monday afternoon.

Dena Schumacher , the depart-ment’s public information offi cer, said the apartment was empty when the fi re was ignited and no one was injured. Schumach-er said a fi re alarm was engaged at about 5 p.m. Schumacher said when fi refi ghters arrived, it took them about seven minutes to

extinguish the fl ames. The authorities were alerted

to the fi re when a resident living close to the infl amed apartment noticed fl ames coming from the air-conditioning unit.

Ritu Shah and Nikita Patel, residents of the building and seniors in LAS, said they were alerted to the fi re when they heard a loud shattering of glass and saw large plumes of smoke emanating from the air-condi-tioning unit of the apartment across the courtyard from them.

Michael Gudino, property manager for Kennedy Wilson

Properties, the company that owns the apartment building, was on the scene Monday.

“We are working with mar-shals to determine the cause of the incident,” Gudino said. “That’s all we have to say at the

moment.”Schumacher said investigators

are still determining the extent of the damage caused by the fi re.

After two years of contention surrounding the survival of the Police Training Institute, intruc-tors and recruits are now halfway through their fi rst month.

Basic training classes began Sept. 10 at the institute, and Michael Schlosser , interim direc-tor, said he is pleased to see the PTI open again.

“I think everyone realized the importance of our historical academy,” he said. “That very fi rst week, I walk in the class-room and I see all these young, eager students ready to learn about police work — it was a very exciting time for me and a very exciting time for the Police Training Institute.”

The institute underwent a few changes and has updated its classrooms’ technology this year. Changes to PTI include remod-eled classrooms, access for each recruit to a laptop computer pro-vided by the training board and a University e-mail address and new methods of writing reports and feedback through an online format.

Offi cer Michael Unander of the University Police Department said his classes are better than he expected due to the techno-logical improvements.

“Nobody likes to sit through eight hours a day of any kind of classroom,” he said. “(We) have kind of gotten into a lot of interac-tion and interactive scenarios. It makes it a lot easier to take that information and learn how to put that into practice.”

Schlosser said over the past few years, student attendance at the academy decreased, which decreased the PTI’s budget.

“A lot of the money we rely on for the Police Training Institute comes from the police recruit tuition to attend our academy,” he said. “Years ago, we would have the class sizes the size of 60 to 90 students.”

Admissions focuses on next year’s enrollmentBY LAUREN ROHRSTAFF WRITER

Now that fi nal enrollment num-bers are in, the Offi ce of Admis-sions is focusing on its goals for next year in the areas of improv-ing recruitment, diversity and fi nancial aid opportunities.

“Certainly to recruit a bright, diverse class of students, it real-ly takes a lot of effort through-out the campus,” said Stacey Kostell, director of undergradu-ate admissions.

The admissions office, the fi nancial aid offi ce and a market-ing and communications unit for admissions create their own goals before coming together to collabo-rate on broad, campus-wide goals, Kostell said. An overview of these goals has been presented to the senate admissions committee and the Senate Executive Committee, or SEC, over the past few weeks.

Michael Biehl is the senate admissions committee chair and said the committee acts as a liai-

son between University admis-sions officers and the Urba-na-Champaign Senate. After reviewing the campus enrollment plan goals last week, he said they are “in the spirit of” the Universi-ty-wide enrollment management plan created by former Universi-ty president Michael Hogan last spring.

“Speaking for the committee, these goals are very detailed, very challenging, and yet they are in line with the expressed

admissions and enrollment man-agement goals that have been pre-viously communicated by the Uni-versity,” Biehl said.

To achieve these objectives, he said administrators and faculty members need to have “appropri-ate dialogue and maintain ongo-ing communication efforts in this area.”

Kostell said a main enrollment goal is to increase the campus’ outreach and recruitment. She said the admissions offi ce works

to build relationships with Chi-cago public schools, but they also want to increase their “interna-tional presence” to ensure that students who attend the Univer-sity represent a broad spectrum of nationalities.

Although the University is well-known by Illinois resident stu-dents, Kostell said it is important that high school students nation-ally and internationally are famil-

Phyllis Wise joins Gov. Quinn for his trip to BrazilBY HANNAH PROKOPDAYTIME ASSISTANT EDITOR

Gov. Pat Quinn began his six-day trip to promote Illinois busi-ness and tourism in Brazil on Sunday — but not without men-tion of the University.

Vice President and Chancel-lor Phyllis Wise joined Quinn on the trip to recruit Brazilian stu-dents and represents the Univer-sity as one of about 30 delegated offi cials from Illinois business-es, educational institutions and state and local governments. The group is scheduled to make stops in São Paulo, Brasília and Recife.

Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said Wise is accompany-ing Quinn on this trip because the University has many alum-ni in Brazil and has relation-ships with organizations in Bra-zil. Kaler said because of those

relationships, Wise will be able to help the state government meet and connect with people and organizations that might be able to partner with Illinois to help with the state’s economic development.

Illinois is also making an effort to attract more Brazil-ian students to Illinois universi-ties through the Brazilian gov-ernment’s Scientifi c Mobility Program, according to a press release from Quinn’s offi ce. The program provides scholarships for one year of study at univer-sities in the U.S. Illinois com-panies have already donated to scholarship funds and provided internships to Brazilian students through the program.

Nye warns against creationism in online videoBY DYLAN LOVANTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The man known to a generation of Ameri-cans as “The Science Guy” is con-demning efforts by some Christian groups to cast doubts on evolution and lawmakers who want to bring the Bible into science classrooms.

Bill Nye , a mechanical engi-neer and star of the popular 1990s TV show “Bill Nye The Science Guy,” has waded into the evolu-tion debate with an online video that urges parents not to pass their religious-based doubts about evo-lution on to their children.

Christians who view the stories of the Old Testament as historical fact have come to be known as cre-ationists, and many argue that the world was created by God just a few thousand years ago.

“The Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000

years old,” Nye said in an inter-view with The Associated Press. “It’s not. And if that confl icts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs.”

Millions of Americans do hold those beliefs, according to a June Gallup poll that found 46 percent of Americans believe God creat-ed humans in their present form about 10,000 years ago.

Nye, 56, also decried efforts in recent years by lawmakers and school boards in some states to present Bible stories as an alterna-tive to evolution in public schools. Tennessee passed a law earlier this year that protects teachers who let students criticize evolution and other scientifi c theories. That echoes a Louisiana law passed in 2008 that allows teachers to intro-duce supplemental teaching mate-rials in science classes.

“If we raise a generation of stu-dents who don’t believe in the pro-cess of science, who think every-thing that we’ve come to know about nature and the universe can be dismissed by a few sentences translated into English from some ancient text, you’re not going to continue to innovate,” Nye said in a wide-ranging telephone interview.

The brief online video was not Nye’s fi rst foray into the combus-tible debate, but “it’s the fi rst time it’s gotten to be such a big deal.”

“I can see where one gets so caught up in this (debate) that you say something that will gal-vanize people in a bad way, that will make them hate you forever,” he said. “But I emphasize that I’m not questioning someone’s religion — much of that is how you were brought up.”

In the video he tells adults they

can dismiss evolution, “but don’t make your kids do it. Because we need them.”

Posted by Big Think, an online knowledge forum, the clip went viral and has 4.6 million views on YouTube. It has garnered 189,000 comments from critics and supporters.

It drew the ire of the creation-ism group Answers in Genesis, which built a biblically based Cre-ation Museum in Kentucky that teaches the stories of the Old Tes-tament and has attracted head-lines for its assertion that dino-saurs roamed alongside Adam and Eve.

The group produced a response video featuring two scientists who say the Bible has the true account of Earth’s origins, and that “chil-dren should be exposed to both ideas concerning our past.”

New York City restricts unhealthy foods BY MEGHAN BARR AND VERENA DOBNIKTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — People ner-vously waiting around in New York City hospitals for loved ones to come out of surgery can’t smoke. In a few months from now, they can’t have a supersized fast-food soda. And soon, they won’t even be able to get a candy bar out of the vending machine or a piece of fried chicken from the cafeteria.

In one of his latest health cam-paigns, Mayor Michael Bloom-berg is aiming to banish sugary and fatty foods from both public and private hospitals.

In recent years, the city’s 15 public hospitals have cut cal-ories in patients’ meals and restricted the sale of sugary drinks and unhealthy snacks at vending machines. But now the city is tackling hospital cafeteria food, too. And the Healthy Hos-pital Food Initiative is expand-ing its reach: In the past year, 16 private hospitals have signed on.

Earlier this month, the city moved to ban the sale of big sodas and other sugary drinks at fast-food restaurants and the-aters, beginning in March. Crit-ics say the hospital initiative is yet another sign that Bloomberg is running a “nanny state,” even though the guidelines are volun-tary and other cities — includ-ing Boston — have undertaken similar efforts.

Hospitals say it would be hypocritical of them to serve unhealthy food to patients who are often suffering from obesity and other health problems.

“If there’s any place that should not allow smoking or try to make you eat healthy, you would think it’d be the hospi-tals,” Bloomberg said Monday. “We’re doing what we should do and you’ll see, I think, most of the private hospitals go along with it.”

The cafeteria crackdown will ban deep fryers, make leafy green salads a mandatory option and allow only healthy snacks to be stocked near the cafeteria entrance and at cash registers. At least half of all sandwich-es and salads must be made or served with whole grains. Half-size sandwich portions must be

available for sale.“People sometimes right now

don’t have healthy options,” said Christine Curtis, the city Health Department’s director of nutri-tion strategy. “So you are there at 2 in the morning and may-be your only choice is soda and chips.”

Marcelle Scott brought her own chips and soda into the lobby of Manhattan’s privately operated St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital — there was no vending machine in sight — as she wait-ed for her daughter to give birth Monday. It wasn’t the fi rst time the unemployed security guard from the Bronx got the “munch-ies” for junk food to keep calm while awaiting the outcome of a loved one’s medical procedure.

“I like my Snickers and my Mars Bars — especially if I’m nervous for somebody who’s inside,” she said.

Most hospitals have already overhauled their vending machines by allowing only two types of 12-ounce high-calo-rie beverages at each vending machine — and they must be fea-tured on the lowest rack. Hospi-tal vending machines have also swapped out most baked goods for snacks like granola bars and nuts.

At privately run Montefi ore Medical Center, which operates several hospitals in the Bronx, changes have been under way for a couple of years.

“We took ice cream out of the cafeterias and began serving more whole grains,” said Dr. Andrew Racine, chief medical offi cer. “We changed white rice to brown rice.”

Herbert Padilla, a retired Manhattan hairdresser, was sit-ting a few feet from a giant coke machine Monday in an outpatient waiting area at St. Luke’s-Roos-evelt, where he was undergoing treatment for a nerve disorder. He said that in general, he sup-ports efforts to keep people from overdosing on junk food, but “we shouldn’t be forced into this by a hospital.”

“The mayor is going too far with this. It’s ridiculous,” he said. “We’re being told what to eat and what to drink. We’re not living in a free country anymore.”

As a graduated student of the institute, Sgt. Ken Palmer of the Livingston County Sher-iff Department is a part-time instructor at the academy. He said he is glad to have the oppor-tunity to teach students at the PTI.

“It makes me feel real good knowing that there still is a call-ing for law enforcement offi cers, and younger people in the com-munity want to get out to serve and protect,” Palmer said. “It gives me great joy graduating

from PTI, and getting hired on as a part-time instructor was like a crowning jewel in my career.”

The two-year struggle to fi nd funding ended July 9, when the Illinois Law Enforcement Train-ing and Standards Board and the University came to an agreement to establish the PTI as a training and research institute . The Uni-versity had stated two years ear-lier that it could no longer afford to subsidize the PTI since it did not connect with the University’s educational mission.

Activists demonstrate on Quad, compare abortion to HolocaustBY ILYA GUREVICCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Pro-life activists used large posters with detailed images to share their message with the University community Monday on the quad.

Dan and Donna Holman of Keokuk, Iowa joined David Grif-fi n of Mattoon, Ill. to express their views on the issue. Hol-man also voiced his opposition to abortion rights by speaking to all passers-by in aggregate and individually to those who chose to stop and converse with him.

Dan Holman, a former elec-tronics technician in Rock-ford, Ill., said he and his wife spend approximately 10 weeks of the year on the road protest-ing abortion by visiting schools across the Midwest and South. The Holmans both consider themselves “missionaries for the pre-born.” After the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision

in 1973, Holman said he viewed footage of two abortions.

“(I) was moved to do some-thing for the pre-born ... The word ‘fetus’ is used as a pejora-tive to dehumanize unborn chil-dren and more easily kill them,”

One of the signs the group dis-played paralleled an image of corpses in Hitler’s death camps with a photo of body parts of a fetus. Another displayed a pho-tograph of a bloody fetus with a caption above it that read “Nobamacares,” and a caption below that read “Abortion.”

Several Jewish students also reacted to the Holocaust reference.

“I don’t know how you can even compare abortion to the Holocaust,” said Mimi Stender, junior in Education who iden-tifi es as Jewish. “It just isn’t right.”

Griffi n is hosting the Hol-man’s at his home for this event

and their upcoming trip to East-ern Illinois University. This was Griffi n’s fi rst time participating in a pro-life protest. After com-ing across YouTube clips about the Holmans, Griffi n wrote to them and asked if he could come along for Monday’s protest. Griffi n, a former real estate bro-ker, said he has supported the cause for years and has worn a button that says “abortion,” with a swastika inside the “O.”’

Regarding the graphic nature of his poster, Griffi n said, “If I had a prettier picture of abor-tion, I’d have put it up.”

Several students approached the activists, making comments about the posters and the abor-tion issue overall. Warren Sou-za, freshman in LAS who iden-tifi es as Roman Catholic, said he opposes abortion but decried Holman’s harsh words.

“We are not preaching the same gospel,” he said. “We can

share the message in a more lov-ing way, like telling a pregnant woman her options. Condemna-tion can come from God only.”

John O’Connor, graduate stu-dent in LAS, thanked the dem-onstrators for “ensuring a con-tinuing Democratic majority with their reactionary views” and added that their viewpoints and strategy show “a total lack of nuanced understanding” of individual circumstances that could lead to women turning to abortion, such as “health issues with the child or mother.”

Holman said he “represents God” but cannot understand why “God should bless Ameri-ca, a wicked nation that allows baby-killing.” He said he did not sense apathy on the campus.

Calvin Lear, SEC member and graduate student, said there was some concern among the SEC regarding the term “diversity” as it pertains to international enrollment on campus.

“The SEC, as always, is con-cerned about striking a balance between various groups repre-sented in the enrollment (num-bers),” Lear said. “Some con-cerns were put forward that the University may underrepresent

domestic students from in-state in favor of other groups.”

However, Lear said overall, the SEC thought the report on enrollment goals would benefi t the campus, allowing for a stron-ger pool of incoming students.

Despite the University’s lim-ited state funds, Kostell said admissions offi cers are also looking for ways to reduce costs for students. She said although there are no fi nalized plans, they are looking to create a scholarship website, which will make it easier for students to fi nd scholarships that fi t their qualifi cations.

“I think affordability is always a goal,” Kostell said. “We’re really looking at how we can best utilize our limited resourc-es to maximize affordability.”

All of presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s critics have gotten what they wanted — his tax returns.

Line up boys and girls. Here is your opportunity to paint him as a greedy elitist. But first let me tell you why you’re wrong.

There are essentially two schools of thought in the criticism of Romney’s tax returns. The first is that his low effective tax rate is a demonstration of an unfair tax code. And the second is that he manipulated his most recent tax release as a political ploy in order to pay more than he had to into the fed-eral government. This manipulation would raise his effective tax rate from roughly 10 percent to his current 14 percent. A 10 percent rate would turn even more voters off to the Romney 2012 Campaign.

Romney paid $1.9 million in taxes on his almost $14 million in income in 2011. Most of his money is from invest-ments that are taxed at a much lower capital gains tax.

President Obama wants to raise taxes on wealthy Americans such as Romney with what he calls the “Buffet Rule,” named affectionately after War-ren Buffet. This would create a high-er tax on capital gains, which would likely curtail economic growth, not stimulate it. A study conducted by the CATO Institute shows that a high capi-tal gains tax is economically ineffi-cient because it cuts entrepreneurship and investment. With less disposable

income, people are likely to take fewer financial risks. This effects the entire country. Higher economic growth will cut poverty more than any govern-ment entitlement program.

It may seem like an unfair tax code, but it is sound economic policy to limit the taxation on investments. It is not necessarily that the money directly goes into the pockets of middle class Americans, but the investments spur a stronger, healthier economy — and that is something from which every-one can reap the benefits.

I find it strange that we would chas-tise someone for paying the legally required amount of taxes.

Another opinion comes from Obama’s campaign manager David Axelrod, who put Romney on blast this Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” for not claiming all of his tax refund for his charitable contributions.

“Two months ago, on your own air, he said that anybody who didn’t take the deductions they were owed wasn’t qualified to be president,” Axelrod said. “Well, I guess he’s not qualified, because that’s exactly what he did last week to try and get his number up from 9 or 10 percent to 14 percent.”

You can’t have it both ways. Let me get this straight, we are supposed to be mad that he didn’t claim all of his refund for the charitable contributions he made? I almost feel bad for Rom-ney. He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. God forbid he takes his full tax break and his effective tax rate dips below 10 percent — it would be political suicide. Romney had pledged earlier in his political career that he would never pay less than 13 percent. The Romney family donated around $4 million to charity, a good portion

of it to the church, but only claimed a deduction for $2.25 million from dona-tions, according to the campaign.

That means the Romney family vol-untarily paid a higher tax rate than they were legally required, which the campaign said they did to stay con-sistent with Romney’s pledge to never pay less than a 13 percent tax rate. No matter what he does he just can-not win. He gives millions of dollars back to the church. If it was anyone but Romney, they would be getting Good Samaritan articles in the paper, not criticism. So let’s say hypothetical-ly Romney paid a 26 percent tax rate. Wouldn’t you be wondering why he paid almost double what he had to? It would be considered a scummy cam-paign move, an attempt to buy the vot-ers. People are never quite satisfied.

Considering his large contribution to charity I would hardily call him greedy when his donations double that of President Obama’s donations. According to the Washington Times, the Romney family gave almost 14 per-cent of their adjusted gross income to charity while the Obama family only gave 7 percent. Sure Mitt got himself in a bind when saying he would not pay more than he had too and simultane-ously pledging to never pay less than a 13 percent effective tax rate. But if you’re mad that he paid more than he had to in taxes and kept his pledge to the people, then you’re probably just grasping at straws. I’d love for the political conversation to get into big-ger issues, but it looks like tax returns take the cake in the news world this week.

Meaning lost in Gangnam Style craze

Wealth inequality hurts US as a whole

POLITICAL CARTOON DANE GEORGES THE DAILY ILLINI

Romney unfairly chastised for tax returnsBRIAN SIEGELOpinions columnist

The chorus played for under a min-ute at this weekend’s football game against Louisiana Tech, but

it got more crowd feedback than the Illini’s few meager touchdowns. And unless you’ve been on a social media cleanse for the past three months, you’ve probably seen the viral You-Tube video. But is our American take on an international craze at the expense of a cultural image?

Maybe I’m a little late to the par-ty when it comes to the 34-year-old rap artist PSY’s Gangnam Style, but it was the first thing I saw when I opened my laptop after nearly two months of being out of the country with limited Internet access. Nothing says welcome back to America like an adorable Korean man in a baby blue tuxedo jacket gyrating around every form of public transportation. Seriously — he’s on a boat, in a sub-way, in a basement garage ... the dude is everywhere for no apparent rea-son at all. (Sorry, I almost forgot the stables, the sauna, a crosswalk and a playground.)

My first reaction was probably not unlike many who sat through the four minutes and 13 seconds of “Oppa Gangnam Style.” What the heck did I just watch? I’m curious, what is it about K-pop now that everyone loves?

I also wondered just how many cal-ories I could burn doing that sideways double-step. I seriously think it’s the first dance in a while to catch on in America that requires more than act-ing like a semi-animated Jell-O mold; I never did catch on to the Bernie, the Wobble or even the coveted Dougie.

Now we have a dance named not after a guy or teetering motion, but an actual “culture.” Gangnam is a very wealthy territory in Seoul, South Korea, kind of like the Beverly Hills of the country, known for its conspic-uous consumption of most recently, coffee. In the English translation of PSY’s “Gangnam Style,” the lyrics, “A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down” reportedly refers to how coffee shops are the place to see and be seen in Gangnam. The song is indeed a parody of material wealth, ultra-delicate women and the social status associated with those two. That’s pretty deep for a neon-coat-ed pop song that animates the global masses.

It turns out that there is already a fair amount written on what it means to have “Gangnam Style.” Ameri-can journalists pounced on the “real meaning of Gangnam Style,” explain-ing the satire and symbolism of the horse-riding elite and fitness-crazed females. But no one wonders why Americans are so entranced by it.

That’s because, as a nation of immi-grants, we like foreign things.

Hotdogs are the food of our coun-try’s pastime, and those originate from Germany. Neckties, associated with Western wear as an essential part of the white collar uniform, are originally from Croatia. The Por-tuguese song Nossa Nossa topped the charts this summer, though not quite beating out “Call Me Maybe,” which is the work of a Canadian. But I digress.

Break down the English transla-tion of PSY’s “Oppa Gangnam Style” lyrics, and you get the insight of a man who is not of Gangnam. He sings about being “A guy who has bulg-ing ideas rather than muscles” who searches for “A girl who covers her-self but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all — a sensible girl like that.”

What a nice message for humanity.Too bad it’s lost not in translation,

but in the visual overload of punky camera angles and sidestepping choreography.

We don’t like the song because of what it stands for. We like it because it’s simple, “exotic,” and downright catchy. We don’t know what we’re lip-synching, and we’re O.K. with it. The only English words in the whole song are “Hey, sexy lady,” and that phrase is pretty well recognized globally at this point.

On an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where PSY instruct-ed Ellen DeGeneres and Britney Spears on the ways of Gangnam Style, he said, “(the) mindset of this dance is dress classy and dance cheesy.”

My god, this man speaks to our generation! Isn’t that what we all want? To dress to the nines and party like idiots? Walk down Green Street after 10 p.m., and you’ll have your answer — you may already be there, riding your very own invisible horse, on your way to pay cover.

So will I go to the Gangnam Style bar crawl? Maybe. Does Gangnam Style objectify an aspect of South Korean culture? Absolutely — PSY intended it to. Did I master the dance? You bet your sequin-studded booty shorts I did.

I t’s finally happened. Mitt Rom-ney released another round of tax returns. Now the partisan pouting

can begin all over again.Mitt Romney’s released tax returns

from 2011 inform the American peo-ple of what he made, how he made it and how much of it he paid back to the United States. They tell us that he made upwards of $13 million and paid roughly 14 percent. They tell us that he donated $4 million to charity and claimed $2.25 million in deductions.

And that’s all fairly boring.We should not care about what Mitt

Romney paid in taxes. We should care about what his taxes and his tax rate tell us about the situation in the United States.

Let’s look at how taxes work cur-rently. Federal income tax operates on a bracket system: the more you make, the more you are taxed on income that falls in that higher bracket. If, for example, you make $1.01 million dollars, you would pay a higher rate on that $0.01 million than on the mil-lion before it. Look at Romney’s most recent admission. The 2011 tax rate for wages ranges from 10 to 35 per-cent. Romney, who filed jointly with his wife, would, like all Americans, pay 10 percent on all wage income less than or equal to $16,700, and would pay 35 percent on all wage income over $372,950. Looking over the tax returns, the Romneys leave blank “Wages, salaries, tips, etc.” essentially

nullifying this marginal tax rate. Instead, the Romneys paid a rate of

just below 15 percent. This is all perfectly legal because

most of Romney’s income comes from investment profits, dividends and interest, rather than a salary. This income, “capital gains,” is taxed at a lower rate. And it’s this flat rate that contributes to the massive wealth inequality in the United States.

Today, the richest 300,000 Ameri-cans make almost as much as the bot-tom 150 million Americans.

In 2010, Professor Michael Norton of the Harvard Business School told NPR that the top 20 percent of the nation held roughly 85 percent of its wealth while the bottom 40 percent of Americans had virtually zero wealth. Contributing to that is the fact that from 1980 to 2008, incomes of the bot-tom 90 percent of American rose only 1 percent (an average of about $303) — whereas the top 0.01 percent of Ameri-cans saw an increase of $21.9 million dollars, a 403 percent increase.

Wealth inequality in the United States is painfully obvious. When com-pared to nations like Denmark and Sweden, which have a more egalitar-ian wealth distribution, we are about 30 percent more unequal.

Even if we compare current wealth inequality to historical wealth inequal-ity in the United States, it’s not an attractive comparison. Before the sharp global economic downturn in 2008, inequality levels were close to what they were before the stock mar-ket crash of 1929. The one that led to The Great Depression.

We talk about the “American Dream”, about the United States being the “Land of Opportunity” and about

how it’s possible for any kid to become the president or a CEO or whatever else their dreams may be. With wealth inequality the way it is now, that is not the case. We are relegating those with unfortunate situations to remain stuck in those situations because we do not provide them the means to get out — regardless of how smart they are or how hard they work.

While there is no panacea for wealth inequality in the U.S. — it’s been building for years. It can’t be fixed in one law or motion from Con-gress — implementing a tax system that is actually progressive would make a good start. The marginal system in place now, although “pro-gressive” in name, does not provide the benefits to the U.S. economy that a truly progressive tax would. Because the current system does not judge all forms of income uni-formly, it makes a system that could help decrease the wealth gap to something essentially negligible.

The argument that billionaires and millionaires work harder for their money is absurd. Mitt Rom-ney’s money is making money while he releases his tax returns. Bill Gates’ money is making money while he sits on his couch. The idea that they should pay a lower tax rate than the majority of Americans is absurd. And more than that, it hurts the United States as a whole. It limits social mobility, stifles eco-nomic growth and only makes the problem worse — and more difficult to fix — the longer it is allowed to continue.

I t’s time to stop asking for Mitt Romney’s tax returns.

The dogged, single-minded pursuit of Romney’s tax his-tory by individuals demand-

ing the returns, like Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, has contributed to the drowning out of this election’s real issues and is reminiscent of the clamor for Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

As of Friday, Romney has released two years of his tax returns, while Obama has released the last 12 years. The IRS cannot legally release any information regarding a taxpayer’s returns, but since the ‘70s, beginning with Nixon and Carter, presidents have released their own returns. Releasing traditionally private information like tax returns — or even a birth certificate — has simply become a part of becoming a public official.

The problem with controver-sies such as these is that they are never truly resolved; rather, they amplify the predetermined assumptions of the most nega-tive and extreme factions of our political system. Romney’s tax-es have become a lure that has trapped Romney and the public alike from more important issues and has made an already-negative election even worse.

For example, the interest in Obama’s nationality was, at one time, a defensible investigation into the legality of his candidacy and presidency. But the unceas-ing requests for his birth certif-icate became a rallying cry for those were already invested in portraying the president as rad-ical, socialist and essentially un-American.

In the case of Romney’s tax history, the details within those returns could arguably shed light on the financial dealings of a candidate who has long used his business experience as a selling point. However, his privileged upbringing and personal wealth have fueled the opposition narra-tive that Romney is an elitist who thinks of himself high above reg-ular citizens.

Romney is in a double bind: Releasing more tax forms would only draw more attention to his personal finances; if he doesn’t, his lack of transparency instead would seemingly justify the suspi-cions of those, like Reid, who think that Romney has somehow evaded his fair share of the tax burden.

When faced with a similar bind, Obama delayed distributing his birth certificate. It was a last resort, a realization that the noise generated by birthers was more damaging than the image of the president caving to such pressure.

But with the release of his last two years of returns, we must now investigate the motives for demanding more. Even if we had these returns, would they show anything more than a business-man who, along with numerous others, benefitted from the U.S.’s investor-friendly tax code? Can an honest argument be made that Romney is hiding something more than financial documentation of his family’s wealthy lifestyle?

Romney is a wealthy man who makes his money from sources mostly unobtainable to the aver-age American. To no one’s sur-prise, that is what his tax forms show.

Beyond financial matters, Rom-ney has done little to endear him-self to those in the middle and working class, and the release of a secretly-taped fundraising speech, along with past gaffes, have not eased Romney’s strug-gle to “reintroduce” himself to the voters.

In the end, we should keep in mind that the birther movement levied a much more serious charge against Obama than the one Rom-ney now faces from those inter-ested in his tax history.

However, the effects of these political manhunts are same: Narratives and ideology become the central actors of the election instead of the issues. It turns the election from one between two candidates into outlandish combat between a collection of assump-tions, character flaws, inferences and stereotypes.

As for Romney, whether he releases the rest of his taxes or keeps them to himself, his next move should be to present us with a more detailed economic plan backed up by data, health care reform policies and other planned legislation.

BY LINDSEY TANNERTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Open the scruffy front door of a drab-looking corner tavern in Chica-go on Friday evenings and sud-denly you’re in Texas, greeted by the rowdy twang of a genuine honky tonk band. Cowboy-boot-ed couples of all ages two-step around the dimly lit scuffed wooden dance floor to the likes of Willie Nelson, Hank Williams or one of the band’s own drink-ing songs. “If I’m Not Drunk, I’m Not Drinking Today”, a crowd favorite.

In a city better known for the rarified sounds of a world-class symphony and legendary jazz and blues, there’s a lively but almost hidden country music scene in Chicago.

This isn’t the Nashville top 40 or overproduced pablum that you hear on commercial radio, or pay top-dollar to see in cavernous arenas. It’s more old-timey country music, from honky-tonk to Rockabilly and Western Swing, and it’s being resurrected by talented local bands like the five-man Hoyle Brothers, in otherwise nonde-script venues like the Empty Bottle on Chicago’s Western Avenue.

The Hoyles, not really broth-ers, have been playing at the Empty Bottle for 10 years, the last five or so with Texas-

born lead singer, songwriter and acoustic guitarist Trevor McSpadden, a handsome young crooner whose deep mellow voice sounds made for the old tunes.

“I was surprised people were into it up here,” McSpadden said before a recent gig. The band regularly attracts a good mix of tattooed hipsters, middle-aged professionals and gray-haired suburbanites, all drawn to the down-home sound.

The Bottle, on the edge of an old Ukrainian neighborhood, is better known for avant-garde late night bands, but the stal-wart honky-tonk crowd has become a Friday night staple — McSpadden calls it almost like a weekly family reunion.

“Chicago is a host to a num-ber of different types of music, and it’s there for the taking and it’s there if you look for it,” said the Empty Bottle’s self-described “head cheese,” Bruce Finkelman.

On a recent Friday, a visitor from Naperville, walked into the Bottle for the first time and commented, beaming, ‘Wow, you could walk right by this place and never know it existed.”

Same goes for Simon’s, a divey tavern in trendy Ander-sonville five miles to the north, where you’ll find another band popular among Chicago’s coun-try cognoscenti, the Western

Elstons. Every other Wednes-day night, they play a brand of Western swing so smooth and catchy that dancers somehow find room to twirl in the bar’s narrow aisle.

A few blocks to the south, on a more working-class stretch of Clark Street, you could easily miss 40-year-old Carol’s Pub, the granny of the city’s coun-try music scene. A little worn at the edges, Carol’s still serves up pitchers of PBR and live country music four nights a week.

The Hideout is another hid-den music gem, tucked away on an almost abandoned-look-ing side street in an old facto-ry neighborhood northwest of downtown. A homey tavern with a back-room hall that resem-bles a North Woods rec room, the Hideout features an eclec-tic blend of live bands several nights a week including local songwriter-guitarist Robbie Fulks, whose schticks include hillbilly country and bluegrass. Neko Case has played there; so have the Waco Brothers and local honky-tonk favorite, the Lawrence Peters Outfit.

The California Clipper fea-tures music and dancing Fri-day and Saturday nights in a 1930s-cocktail-lounge setting; good bets are local rockabilly or honky-tonk acts including The Possum Hollow Boys, Cropdust-er and the Black Willoughbys.

Country music a part of Chicago’s hidden night life

Lost Points offers social and entrepreneurial skillsBY MOHAMED ELRAKHAWYSTAFF WRITER

In this weak economy, job offers are hard to come by. Many students arrive senior year with-out knowing where to apply, whether they have the skills needed to enter the workforce right away or how to go through the job search. Fortunately, one local business made it its mis-sion to help.

Lost Points, a software devel-opment consulting business, helps students gain skills in the technology industry while giv-ing back to the community. The company offers internships for students looking to gain social entrepreneurship skills and work on community focused projects.

“We came up with this idea to help address a couple prob-lems in our community,” said Kerris Lee, partner at the firm. “One being student retention: A lot of people come to U of I to be educated and they leave to work somewhere else (outside of Champaign-Urbana). In addition to that, we wanted to give stu-dents a chance to not only look for a job but to create one.”

The project is aimed at teach-ing skills that the University doesn’t emphasize, like behav-ioral and social interaction in a business, according to Lee. He pointed out that it gives students an opportunity to learn from the best teachers and become great businessmen or computer scien-tists in a group-oriented setting.

Shiren Mathai, another part-ner at the firm, emphasized train-ing with a business mindset.

“We were trying to educate

them on how to start a business from scratch,” Mathai said. “Most of the students coming in came in cold, without any expe-rience. So there were possibili-ties for failure, but in order to avoid that, we brought in men-tors from the community to give them the strategy needed to make sure they were posi-tioned for success.”

This summer, Lost Points partnered with the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum in downtown Champaign to create a tech exhibit specifically deal-ing with aspects of mathemat-ics and scale for children ages four to eight.

This interactive exhibit, which held a demonstration Saturday Sept. 22, uses Microsoft Kinect linked to a projector to superim-pose an image of the child onto a screen. In this virtual reali-ty, the child can then navigate everything around them with-out a controller by moving their body. There are three learning modules built for the exhibit: space, the human body and the ocean.

“In all these entities they are able to go through quizzes that would normally be boring on a piece of paper, but have it in an atmosphere to develop (the con-cepts) further.” Lee said. “So for example, in the ocean scene they see themselves in a subma-rine and will be asked a question when they see fish swimming ... which fish is bigger, dealing with scale.”

The company also teamed up with Nuvixa, a video technology company, to work on the soft-ware. In the space scenario, the

child travels in a rocket, sees the planets and moons and is tested on their counting and arithmetic skills.

Developing this type of proj-ect required the help of students with backgrounds in many dif-ferent areas. For the business elements of the exhibit, the group had an MBA graduate and an international marketing student. The development team was comprised of four computer scientists, including one in elec-trical engineering and a statis-tician. Finally, the company’s design team incorporated the skills of an industrial designer and University graduate in new media, Alyssa Burke.

“Working with Lost Points was a new, different experi-ence,” Burke said. “It was great working with a team full of peo-ple that all did different things on the project. I’m a graph-ic designer, so when you add more people to the equation it was great in learning what hap-pens when you all don’t agree on something.”

Having diverse disciplines come together to work toward a common goal reflects what occurs in real business, Lee added.

The firm plans to offer this internship again this fall, focus-ing on increasing voter turn-out during the Champaign and Urbana elections of February and April next year. The focus will be on developing mobile applications to increase partici-pation in the local community.

dent at the University, Wilson said he appreciates this kind of atmosphere. The 2007 gradu-ate of Eastern Illinois Univer-sity was an education major, but found Aptello to be an ide-al combination of his interest in business and his education background.

“I’ve always loved business,

but I also had the passion to educate people, to teach people and to lead people,” Wilson said. “And I think that’s why I’m a great fit in what I’m doing.”

That’s why three years after Friedl called on Wilson for tem-porary help with the business elements of his company, Wil-son is still on board and work-ing full time to develop Aptello into Friedl’s and the rest of the team’s ultimate vision.

“I see Aptello becoming a

platform for all different types of services,” he said. “We knew education, and that’s why we started with that, but we don’t necessarily want to be just edu-cation. If you need legal, medi-cal or any kind of advice, and you need it right away or want to get consult from the comfort of the home, Aptello will be able to offer it to you.”

Prepping for the workplace

BY MAGGIE O’CONNORSTAFF WRITER

Andrew Friedl, 2009 alumnus in Engineering , was buried in textbooks and diffi cult material when he realized that he had a problem even Google couldn’t fi x: there was no trusted, cen-tral location for him to fi nd help.

For someone whose mind had been geared toward innovation and entrepreneurship since the age of 5, the lack of resources proved to be a moment of clar-ity. Friedl has spent the past three years developing Aptello, the Web-based business that he calls the “eBay for services.”

With the help of the Illinois Launch program , which provides

consulting and a variety of oth-er resources for student entre-preneurs , the business has grown and continues to receive help from EnterpriseWorks. Located in Research Park, the business incubator provides a home base for technology-based start-ups and limits the fi nancial burdens of renting offi ce space and other busi-ness costs that would otherwise inhibit the companies’ growth.

Focused on tutorials and other educational resources, Aptello gives users a place to buy and sell expert guidance through topics like resumé critiques, paper editing, mock interviews, calculus tutoring, and more — all from the comfort of home .

Hanna Zhong, co-founder of Aptello , said that the site’s chief feature is its video con-ference tool. People can meet in this online conference room, where a whiteboard, document-upload capabilities and live chat allow people to interact and communicate effectively while still maintaining security and convenience.

Zhong said that with many other companies that sell ser-vices, buyers must negotiate a meeting place, consider the safety of meeting a stranger and discuss prices. Aptello is intended to eliminate these con-cerns because it allows users to seek services as they need

them instead of having to sched-ule far in advance. Currently, a .edu email address and pay-ment using a token system are required to participate online .

A user will purchase a min-imum of $10 worth of tokens through Aptello, and as they use services, charges will be deducted from their tokens. Aptello profi ts with a 10 percent service fee from the sellers, who can then also use their profi ts to buy services from other sellers, Friedl said.

Students can access around 400 services posted from sell-ers at Loyola University, the University of Illinois-Chicago and Urbana-Champaign, North-

western University, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis University and the University of Chicago.

Greg Wilson , business devel-opment lead and Friedl’s cous-in, said the online conference rooms have attracted vari-ous student organizations that signed up to use Aptello instead of in-person meetings. It limits the diffi culty of fi nding a mutu-ally convenient meeting time and allows for the same kind of information exchange, he said.

In recent months, Aptello has experienced increased traction, in large part due to two newly-hired M.B.A students who focus on the development of market-

ing and promoting among fac-ulty and students, Friedl said.

The company is separated into business and technology departments, but the unifi ed feel of the company has been essential to its success so far, Wilson said.

Any time interviews are con-ducted, the 14 people current-ly on the staff are encouraged to participate in the decision process because the close-knit nature of the company requires that everyone works well togeth-er, he said.

As the only member of the team who has never been a stu-

A name that bites, barbecue sauce that kicks, and meat that is smoked: Black Dog Smoke & Ale House is a little rough around the edges and

a well-known restaurant in the Champaign-Urbana area.

The smokehouse opened in February of 2009 and has increased its clientele as the months continue to roll by. Mike Cochran and Pedro Heller co-own the restaurant, which received its name from Cochran’s dogs.

“My wife and I have two black dogs, Oscar and Lola, and we were taking them to a dog trainer and they began to call us Team Black,” Cochran said. “One day she told us how medi-um-sized black dogs, like ours, were the last ones to be adopted from The Humane Society. We liked the idea of our restaurant being named Black Dog and it also sounded like a pub name.”

Around town this Black Dog seems to be any-thing but the last one picked. The smoke house is located off campus on North Broadway Ave-nue in Urbana. You may miss the restaurant as you drive by, but you will not miss the line to get in from the time it opens.

“We open the doors at 11 (a.m.) and fi ll the room and the restaurant stays that way pretty much until we close,” Cochran said.

With the heavy traffi c of people, Black Dog goes through a lot of food. One of the most pop-ular items ordered is the beef brisket.

Before the brisket is put out on the table, it has quite a long journey. The kitchen starts the night before at 8 p.m. by cooking the brisket in a smoker, which can hold up to 600 pounds of meat. The beef is left for 12 hours to ensure it is slow cooked and has a very smoky fl avor.

After it is removed, it needs some barbecue

sauce to accompany it. The restaurant’s seven different kinds of barbecue sauces are made completely from scratch. The most popular are the Georgia Peach, which is sweet and mild, and the Carolina Red, which is medium heat with black pepper and vinegar spices.

After the barbecue sauce is added, it is time for the sandwich to come together.

“We serve our sandwich, what we call Car-olina style, with the barbecue sauce and cole-slaw right on top,” Cochran said.

Popular cohorts of the beef brisket are sweet potato fries and a cold brew to wash it down. Black Dog makes sure to represent the Midwest in their restaurant as well. They get most of their beer from breweries in Illinois and some from Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.

The bar actually takes up half of the restauran,t so it is a large part of the atmosphere.

The other half is fi lled with booths that are more group-oriented. These elements make the atmo-sphere a mix between a barbecue restaurant and a neighborhood bar. A diverse group of cus-tomers matches the restaurant’s diverse setup.

“We get everybody, literally we see every-body: students, older people, people from the University, former governors come in,” Cochran said. “We see people who drive a lot farther than I ever thought people would to come here. We just get a great bunch of people.”

Whether it is the atmosphere, the beef bris-ket, or just the smoky smells that hit you as you cross the threshold, the C-U community has spoken: Whatever Black Dog Smoke & Ale House is doing, they are doing it right.

Business Technology

It was a tumultuous weekend for Illini sports, with the lows out-weighing the highs. I was “for-tunate” enough to be present

for two of the lowest lows: when vol-leyball was swept by Minnesota on Friday night and the embarrassment of a football game the next night.

I wrote Illinois off as losing half-way through each event. Most every-body with a brain probably did that, but it was uncharacteristic for me. I’m usually what my friends call “unrealistically optimistic,” and I constantly recite the cliche, “It’s not over until it’s over.”

Losing faith last weekend made me come to an upsetting personal realization.

I am no longer a sports fan. Thanks to my five or so years of sports reporting, the fan has been completely sucked from of my soul. The days of having my face painted bright blue, holding a giant foam fin-ger and screaming obnoxiously are long behind me.

I still care about sports more than the average person, I still follow my favorite teams with a religious devotion and my moods still revolve around how said team performed, but I can never call myself a typical sports fan. No honest sports report-er can truly do that.

It starts with all the time spent in the press box. You’re not allowed to cheer there. But this rule apparent-ly only exists in the United States. If you cheer in the press box here, I’m pretty sure you’ll get kicked out, or

at least receive the death stare from about 30 people, which I’ve gotten repeatedly, just for talking too loud in the press box. The years of condi-tioning myself not to clap, to grit my teeth instead of smiling and to nudge whoever is sitting next to me instead of jumping up for joy have turned me into a silent machine when attending an event as a fan.

I always second-guess myself before wearing orange to an event. As an objective student reporter, it’s against the rules to wear school colors while covering events. I kept wondering why people looked at me funny when I was tailgating Satur-day with my purple shirt on. Then I realized, oh yeah, I was the elephant in the room.

It’s even worse when I’m in the student section. I feel like I’m wear-ing a giant sticker that screams, “SHE’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.” In all reality, no one has any idea that I’m out of place because I look completely nor-mal. But I feel like an alien sitting there because I don’t know any of the cheers and have no desire to be standing for the entire game. I’m also analyzing every play more than I should and questioning why deci-sions were made instead of sitting back and enjoying the game. When people ask their friends something, I want to answer because I have the inside scoop. Then I remember how I’m here as a fan so I attempt to chill out, typically failing miserably.

My non-reporter friends don’t understand my inner struggles. I went to a volleyball game with my friend Sheila a few weeks ago. She thought it was OK to arrive to the game 15 minutes late. Doesn’t she

SCHEELHAASE STILL STARTING

BY JAMAL COLLIERSTAFF WRITER

I llinois head coach Tim Beckman ended any spec-ulation of a starting quarterback controversy or ideas about a two-quarterback system with the simple statement, “Nathan Scheelhaase is our

starting quarterback.”He said it not once but twice during his weekly

press conference Monday, the second time more emphatically.

Beckman said Scheelhaase suffered a big hit dur-ing the first offensive play of Saturday’s 52-24 loss against Louisiana Tech. Beckman worried about his quarterback after two defenders hit Scheelhaase — one high and the other low. Scheelhaase stayed in

the game, but after the fumble, Beckman made the decision to pull him.

“I was a little concerned, being a coach and being a guy that I hope is like a father,” Beckman said. “I want to make sure that everybody’s 100 percent.”

Assuming Scheelhaase is healthy and practices Tuesday and Wednesday, he is set to start against Penn State.

The statement comes as no surprise for Scheel-haase, who said he and Beckman have talked about it.

“I think Coach Beckman made the decision err-ing on the side on caution,” Scheelhaase said. “And it’s something you deal with as a player and move forward.

“There’s been a dramatic difference every week-

end. Honestly, when we had our lift and run (Sunday), it’s felt as good as it’s felt.”

But because of the unpredictable nature of ankle sprains, Beckman wants to remain careful. He dis-missed that Scheelhaase was hesitant to run during the first quarter because of his ankle.

The Illini wanted to establish the passing attack first with their running backs and try and get the ball to wide receiver Ryan Lankford before allow-ing Scheelhaase to run later in the game.

“I want to see what happens Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,” he said. “As I mentioned, I think both quarterbacks are capable, but Nathan Scheelhaase is our starting quarterback.”

Bulletin board materialPenn State hasn’t forgotten about the Illinois head

coaches that traveled to State College, Pa., to meet with Penn State players about transferring, whether the coaches were on campus. Beckman didn’t back down or express any regrets about his actions this

summer, and he reiterated that Illinois was con-tacted first.

“This game was developed for opportunity,” he said. “If (Penn State players) come to us and say they would like that opportunity to speak to us, I think that’s what college football’s about. I regret that it ended up being this much and it’s still talked about, but it did give a young man his opportunity.”

Offensive lineman Ryan Nowicki transferred to Illinois after the NCAA levied sanctions against the Nittany Lions.

Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien said at Big Ten Media Days in July that he was not contacted by anyone from Illinois about meeting with his play-ers. Beckman said he talked to O’Brien in Chicago about the issue but didn’t give a further explanation. He only said he hoped things had been worked out between them.

“This game’s about the players and playing it out on the field, and I know they’ll be prepared,” Beck-

Volleyball comes out of weekend No. 21

BY ELIOT SILLSTAFF WRITER

Minnesota came to Huff Hall and swept the Illini volleyball team in three sets on Friday. This experience was not totally new for the returning players.

Illinois (7-5, 1-1 Big Ten) suffered a 3-0 home loss to Minnesota last year that served as its worst performance of the season. This year, though the result was the same, the effect was not a low point as much as it was a message to a young team of what Big Ten play is like.

“They are the quintessential Big Ten team,” middle blocker Anna Dorn said of Minnesota. “They’re big and physi-

cal, they’re gonna do a lot of things that we haven’t necessarily seen because they’re so big. They can hit over us and around us and all that stuff. ... I think it was a good way for us to start out (the conference season) just because it would be a good test for us.”

Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly said he thought the team came out and played passively until late in the third set, during which time Illinois made a 7-3 run before losing the match.

“We were just very tense, very tight (in the first set) and our attacks, we were just hitting these roll shots and not attacking Minnesota at all,” Ham-bly said Friday. “We had 10 errors, we

gave them a lot of points on very, very passive errors. You expect to come out and fight and attack a team ... and we didn’t start really attacking them until that third set.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Chicago Bears receiver Brandon Marshall criticized former NFL star Warren Sapp for calling him a “retard” in a radio interview.

That struck a chord with Marshall, who has acknowledged receiving treatment for borderline personality disorder and anger management, and he fired back Monday in an online video.

“I got a really disturbing heads-up on something Warren Sapp said, called me retarded. That’s really disappointing to hear that from an NFL legend, but I’m going to take this as a lesson, and I think we all can learn from this,” Marshall said in the video posted online.

“Be very careful who you take advice from. You want to surround yourself with good people, godly people. When I look at Warren Sapp, I can’t go to him and talk about finances because he filed for bankruptcy. I can’t go to him and talk about my marriage because he filed for divorce. I can’t go to him and talk about being a father because one day I’m going to have children, because he’s not active in his children’s life.”

Marshall later posted on Twitter that he received an e-mail from Sapp asking “where and when” and that he assumed he was being challenged to a fight.

All that stemmed from an interview with the outspoken Sapp, an NFL Network analyst, on the syndicated “The Dan Patrick Show.” He was criticizing today’s players in general, saying they have “no relevance for the past, have no conscious of what it is” when he blasted Marshall.

“I mean Brandon Marshall talking about Shannon Sharpe ... ‘Who is he to talk?’” Sapp said. “He’s the first 100-catch receiver (tight end) back to back, retard. What you just did in Denver for three years. You don’t know this? Of course he doesn’t.

Jennings, Bears defense proving themselves on fieldBY ANDREW SELIGMANTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — If opposing quarterbacks want to challenge him, that’s just fine with Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings. He just hopes they don’t stop.

“I want to continue to try to make some plays and make some plays on the ball,” he said Monday. “The most opportuni-ties I can get, hopefully the number can increase.”

Jennings was leading the league with four interceptions through Sunday and was one of the bright spots on a defense that’s been sending out remind-ers lately that it is an effective unit.

That group came up big in a 23-6 win over St. Louis, with the line again applying the pressure and the secondary doing its job, while the offense struggled for the second straight week.

The Bears were leading the league through Sunday with 14 sacks after taking down Sam Bradford six times, and the defensive backs were making big plays, too.

“It’s been a huge impact, as you can see,” Jennings said. “Any time we can create a whole bunch of sacks and get the quarterback a little jittery back there, us in the back end, we’re just able to react quick. It’s not going to be a whole lot of pump fakes, not going to be a whole lot looking around, so as soon as we see the quarter-back looking and getting ready to throw it we’re getting ready to break.”

The Bears are already nearly halfway toward their sack total from last season, when they tied

for 19th with 33 and ranked 28th overall against the pass.

It helped that St. Louis’ offen-sive line had already been hit hard by injuries, but Chicago also made plays against Andrew Luck and Aaron Rodgers in the first two games against Indi-anapolis and Green Bay. The Bears’ defensive line has been getting contributions from just about everyone — not only Julius Peppers — with Israel Idonije delivering 2 ! sacks on Sunday.

And in the secondary, safe-ty Major Wright came through with the biggest play when he returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown to make it a 14-point game in the fourth quarter.

It happened when Jennings deflected a short slant intended for Danny Amendola.

“They’re consistently getting better,” quarterback Jay Cutler said. “It’s hard because they’re at such a good level. To see them get out there and dominate like that — they’re in complete con-trol of their offense and exactly what was going on. It’s a tough group to go against.”

Besides the deflection on Wright’s touchdown, Jennings also had an interception, giv-ing him at least one in all three games.

Considering he had just sev-en interceptions in his first six years and never more than two in a season, that’s a huge improvement.

He had trouble hanging onto the ball, and coach Lovie Smith made it clear at the end of the season he needed to work on that.

So that’s exactly what Jen-

nings did, catching about 100 balls a day from the Jugs machine during offseason work-outs and training camp. He said it didn’t help, either, that he was dealing with a finger problem last season, and the missed

opportunities added up to a con-fidence issue, too.

“I kind of understood where (Smith) was coming from,” said Jennings, who re-signed with the Bears for two years in March. “I thought I was playing

good football, but I knew I was missing a whole lot of opportu-nities. I knew if I had another opportunity to get another shot at this in Chicago — which is (where) I really wanted to be, I thought it was a good fit for

me — I just wanted to make the best of it. I made a conscious effort to kind of go back to what I used to do. I really did think I had great hands. Confidence got kind of low. I wanted to get back to the basics.”

Bears’ receiver gets defensive at former NFL star’s remark

BY DOUG FERGUSONTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEDINAH, Ill. — The Ryder Cup comes to Chicago for the first time, and it’s only fitting that the Windy City can claim one of the players as its own.

Luke Donald spent four years at Northwestern, winning an NCAA title and graduating with a degree in art. He married a local girl and never found reason to settle anywhere else. He lives on the North Side and suffers annually with Cubs fans. After the Ryder Cup, he and his wife will pick apples in the country for her birthday.

There’s only one catch — Don-ald is English.

The only “hometown” player in this Ryder Cup will be play-ing for the visiting team.

“Unique, isn’t it?” Donald said.This is not the first time for

a Ryder Cup held in the Unit-ed States to include European players who make their prima-ry home in America — Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter and Jus-tin Rose (Orlando, Fla.), Paul Casey (Scottsdale, Ariz.) and Jesper Parnevik (Jupiter, Fla.) to name a few. But those are seen

as golf communities. Chicago is among the world’s great sports cities, and it’s one of the best golf markets in America.

It is expected to be loud at Medinah when the matches begin Friday, and there is little doubt that will give the Ameri-cans a big edge in crowd support.

So where does that leave Donald?

“The way I look at it is the home team has the biggest advantage,” he said. “Just taking away 1 percent of the crowd sup-port, that’s a help to our team. And that’s the way I’m looking at it. But, yeah, it’s kind of odd. I don’t play Medinah that much. I’ve played it twice in the last five weeks or something like that. I don’t really go there that much. Staying in a hotel 20 miles away from where you live is kind of strange, but that’s the way it goes.”

Donald will have support from more than just a few friends and family members. Europeans are coming across for the Ryder Cup, too, and you’ll be able to hear them singing around the first tee and belting out that “Ole, ole, ole ole” across the tree-lined

course.But it won’t quite be the same

as what Kenny Perry and J.B. Holmes heard at Valhalla in their native Kentucky, the recep-tion Padraig Harrington and the Irish boys received at The K Club, Jose Maria Olazabal at Valderrama or Lee Westwood at The Belfry.

Donald is very much English. He just happens to love Chicago, which is why he never left.

He first saw the city during a brief recruiting trip in April. Donald got off the plane and saw snow covering the ground.

“I was wondering how I was going to play golf in college when it was still a little chilly out,” he said. “That was my first impression. And then my coach took me around to all the cours-es, just amazing golf courses. I had never seen anything like that coming from England. Also just amazed at college sports in general, just how big everything was. Our stadium was 55,000, and that was considered small in college sports. That’s a big Premier League football stadi-um in England.”

It was at Northwestern that he

met his wife, Diane. They start-ed getting serious right before he turned pro, while she was still a sophomore at Northwestern. That was enough reason to stay, though not the only reason.

Most players turn pro and move to Florida, Texas or Arizona.

Donald used to stay with friends when he went to Flori-da in the winter to keep his golf game sharp. Now he has a house in Jupiter and plays out of The Bear’s Club when it turns cold up north. But his main home is Chicago. It’s been that way for years, and probably will be for some time.

“I think you become familiar with a place,” Donald said. “I had a lot of friends. My coach, Pat, was probably a big reason, too. I started dating Diane a cou-ple months before I got my tour card, but we met when I was in college. I didn’t really have any reason to go anywhere else, other than the weather. But you always stay where you feel com-fortable. And I felt very comfort-able in Chicago.”

This isn’t the first time Donald is playing a Ryder Cup on Amer-ican soil. He made his debut at Oakland Hills outside Detroit in 2004 as a captain’s pick, though not many paid attention. He had only one PGA Tour win at

the time — the Southern Farm Bureau Classic — and three wins worldwide.

Donald only recently relin-quished the No. 1 ranking to Rory McIlroy. Until then, he had been at No. 1 for a total of 56 weeks. Tiger Woods, Greg Nor-man, Nick Faldo and Seve Ball-esteros are the only other play-ers who had been No. 1 longer since the ranking began in 1986.

Even now, Donald has an unas-suming manner that doesn’t draw much attention. Heads don’t turn when he walks into a restaurant or shows up at an event.

Donald remains active with Northwestern, particularly the golf team. He is involved with The First Tee in Chicago, along with the Ronald McDon-ald house.

He and his wife have two young daughters, but still take time to go to restaurants, sports events, arts shows and museums.

“We like blending in,” Diane Donald said. “Everything is so easy to get to in Chicago, and it has everything. It’s kind of fun-ny because I felt like I waited my entire life to leave Chicago, and now we have a home in Florida that’s empty half the year. Luke loves being here.”

Only at Medinah, he won’t feel entirely at home.

A Baby to Love:

AdoptionI am an African-American woman who has always dreamt of being a mother. I have a wonderful career with a great salary, a strong faith and a supportive family- all I am missing is a child to love. If you or someone you know has an unplanned pregnancy and is considering adoption, please give me a call.

Illini making it easy for opposing teams

Illinois allowed opponents Minneso-ta and Wisconsin to hit .375 and .262, respectively over the weekend — both above the Illinois opponents’ season average of .238. After the fi rst week of conference play, Illinois is last in the Big Ten in opponent hitting percentage.

“We’ve been like top three (in oppo-nent hitting percentage) the last sever-al years, and ... something we’ve hung our hat on is being a very good defen-sive team,” Hambly said. “It’s frustrat-ing for us because we have our system, and we’re not executing it. Things are falling apart.”

Hambly compared the system to

Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim’s trademark 2-3 zone defense, where the system works unless the people operating it are younger and inexperienced.

“Actually, when I watch Boeheim’s zone, it’s kinda how we wanna block, it’s read and react,” Hambly said. “You’ve gotta understand situations, and we give them lots of freedom to make deci-sions and the decisions they’re making aren’t always on. ... We need to continue to get better.”

Illinois also ranks last in the Big Ten in opponent service aces allowed per set and kills allowed per set.

Illini hanging on to Top 25 statusDespite losing in three sets to Min-

nesota, the Illini’s bounce-back win against Wisconsin allowed them to stay

in the Top 25, as they slid just one spot to No. 21 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll.

Around the Big Ten, Penn State vaulted from No. 4 to No. 1 in the coun-try after toppling No. 3 Nebraska and seeing then-No. 2 USC beat then-No. 1 UCLA and then promptly lose to cur-rent No. 2 Oregon in three sets. Nebras-ka fell from No. 3 to No. 6.

Minnesota’s victory over Illinois helped the Golden Gophers rise from No. 12 to No. 10. Purdue’s wins over Michigan and Michigan State helped the Boilermakers rise from No. 17 to No. 13.

Ohio State and Michigan State moved up one spot each to Nos. 22 and 24, respectively. Michigan’s loss to Pur-due sent them out of the top 25.

realize we have to get there 30 minutes early, make sure we’re settled and check that our computers are work-ing? Wait, I guess she’s right. Those important details don’t matter to fans.

This lack of time as a spec-tator results in a bitter hatred toward fans and the actions they engage in, which is really just jealously because I can’t take part in those activities myself. The fans are standing during games, excited to see that last point and you’re not supposed to stand — though sitting throughout a game is undeniably a perk. The fans ruin your perfect view. Then the fans do the wave, and the reporter is not a part of it. And if you’re a sports reporter that likes the wave, that’s just wrong.

Next, the fans jump around and do crazy cheers and chants, which ruin your focus and makes it harder for you to hear what is happening in the

game. Then there’s the most depressing moment, which I experienced last Saturday: having to drink water while tailgating because you can’t interview athletes with beer on your breath.

I love getting to know ath-letes, but being around the team so much as a reporter ruins your image of it. You learn that athletes you once idolized lack a personality or aren’t the nicest people or don’t deserve to be where they are. You realize that coaches are glorifi ed robots who spout the same PR replies and dodge the truth. And most upsetting-ly, you uncover the dirty skel-etons behind teams and have to report on the heartbreaking drama.

Sports reporters are trained to root for the story, not a spe-cifi c team. Really, you want what is going to be the most fun to write about. That would make for the most interesting dialogue after the game. In all reality, it’s probably more interesting that Illini quarter-back Nathan Scheelhaase was benched for his poor perfor-

mance Saturday and Illinois got creamed than if he had played normally and Illinois won another boring football game.

Rooting for the story really hit home for me this summer when I wished former Illinois gymnast Paul Ruggeri didn’t make the U.S. Olympic team, after chronicling his story for an entire year. My mom told me to never tell that to anybody.

Sorry, mom. I’m writing this for the entire world to read. I’m a human, I want-ed the best for Ruggeri, but there were a million stories about athletes accomplish-ing their Olympic dreams. I wanted to write about some-one doing everything he could and then falling short. Even though his tale turned out sad and depressing , it was the bet-ter story.

I’m sorry. I’m a reporter. It’s not about winning or los-ing, it’s about a good story.

man said. “I know coach O’Brien has done a great job of getting his players prepared and ready.”

David Jones of The Patriot-News, located in Harrisburg, Pa., called into Monday’s press conference and said Penn State fans are still “hot about this issue,” and it could possibly be bulletin-board material for Penn State as it prepares for Illinois.

Beckman says he’s never been huge on bulletin board material and thinks his team will be ready to match Penn State’s intensi-ty because it’s the start of Big Ten season.

“I doubt we’ll be on the fi eld and be talking crap about what went on in July,” Scheelhaase said. “I’m pretty sure they’ll be concerned about what’s going on, on the fi eld and so will we. It’s about prepar-

ing and getting on the fi eld and getting things done.”

Stripe the StadiumFans attending Saturday’s game against

Penn State are being asked to “Stripe the Stadium” in orange and blue depending on where their seat is located. Students sitting in the north end zone have it easy: They should all wear orange, as usual. But anyone sitting in an even-numbered sections should wear blue, while anyone in odd-numbered sections should wear orange.

It’s the second year the team has had the promotion. However, the Illini will be looking for a different result, as last year’s “Stripe the Stadium” was spoiled when Illinois recorded its fi rst loss of the season against Ohio State.

Volleyball coach, player recap Friday

JONATHAN DAVIS THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Vanessa DiBernardo tries to beat Penn State’s Kori Chapic during the game at Illinois Soccer Stadium on Sunday . The Nittany Lions’ 4-0 victory caused the Illini to lose at home for the fi rst time this year.

Editor’s note: The following is a partial transcript from an Illini Drive interview with Illinois volleyball assistant coach Dan Conners and senior middle blocker Erin Johnson .

Illini Drive: (Friday’s match was) not the way you guys wanted to see (the Big Ten) start. What are your takeaways from that match ?Erin Johnson: I mean, I think we saw that we have to be a lot more aggressive. Big Ten is always. It’s a tough conference. It’s one of the toughest in the country, I think, and every night you have be ready to bring it. And I think we played really passively and I think we have to know that we have to come out more aggres-sively and attack our opponents.

ID: What sparked the run to start that fi fth set (of Sunday’s win against Wisconsin)?EJ: I don’t know if there is any-thing you could pinpoint it on.

We were saying the same stuff the entire match:“Let’s be aggressive. Let’s attack them.” It was kind of time to put our words in action.

ID: Coach, Annie (Luhrsen ) had a season high in assists. She had 60 on Sunday. Is that kind of a sign that the offense is starting to click and at the same time, the hitting is distributed?DC: I think the balance in the attack was really nice Sunday. And I think we’re trying to push the tempo a little bit , and I think that’s helping. We’re going a bit faster, getting some people some better situations to attack from. And Annie defi nitely did a nice job putting the ball in a good position for those hitters.

ID: Now you come in here. This is your fi rst year as an assistant coach here. What interested you in this job when this came open?DC: One, it was an up-and-com-ing program. It was a program

that has kind of turned around in the last four to six years since Coach Hamb ly has been here. ...And I just like his philosophy and the team culture he has here.

ID: Alright E.J., we had you on last year and you said you weren’t a fan of the E.J. Stomp. ... You can tell Spike Squad what you want when you serve or when you score. The fl oor is yours.EJ: I don’t know what I want. I just want them to pick something cooler. Like in E.J. Stomp, where does the stomp come from? ... I appreciate them cheering for me.

Illini work to put slow starts behind themBY CHARLIE MANIATESSTAFF WRITER

It took only 46 seconds for the Illinois soccer team to fall behind No. 11 Penn State .

The Illini are hoping to correct their slow start against the Nitta-ny Lions on Sunday — when they allowed three goals in the fi rst 18 minutes — before Illinois hits the road this weekend to take on Indiana and Purdue in its fi rst two Big Ten road games .

“We had 19 shots, we (have to) cre-ate something out of that,” head coach Janet Rayfi eld said after the loss to Penn State. “Cer-tainly, I think, if you take the fi rst 20 min-utes away, the stats look pret-ty even.”

That was the theme of the ear-ly fi rst half Sunday. The Illini felt they came out fl at with not enough energy compared to the Nittany Lions, who came out looking to avenge their overtime loss to Illi-

nois in last year’s Big Ten cham-pionship game .

First home loss of seasonSunday was the Illini’s fi rst

home loss of the season , drop-ping their home record to 4-1-0 . This came on the same day as the seventh annual Illinois Soccer-Fest, which provided free food and infl atable attractions for all

who attended, including soc-cer alumnae.

“It hurts, and we had a lot of (alumnae) out here, so it kind of stings a lit-tle bit because you always want to make them proud,” senior forward Niki Read said. “But one part about the Illi-nois program

is they know how much work we do put into it, and they understand that sometimes you can’t come away with the result.”

Read said that true fans under-stand that losses happen, and the team is going to work hard in

practice this week to overcome the loss to Penn State and bring back more wins.

InjuriesThe weekend did not come and

go without a couple of scares. At one point in the second half, junior midfi elder Vanessa DiBer-nardo went down with a leg injury for a few minutes before walking off the fi eld under her own power. After 11 minutes, she returned to the fi eld and played the rest of the match.

Freshman midfi elder Taylore Peterson , who scored the team’s lone goal of the weekend Friday against Ohio State , sustained a leg injury Sunday to her ankle.

Unlike DiBernardo, Peterson did not return to action. Her sta-tus is uncertain.

“(Peterson) got stuck in an awk-ward tackle and did something with her ankle,” Rayfi eld said. “They’ll evaluate and see, and we’ll see how she is (this week).”

Senior defender Kristen Gier-man went in for Peterson and fi n-ished the fi nal 22 minutes of the match.
