�e Residence Hall Association is sponsoring Residents on Campus Fest, or ROC Fest, will begin this week.
�e fest, which is a series of competitions be-tween residence halls through various events, will start today and end Friday, Oct.1.

All windows within each hall must be com-pleted by 7 p.m.
Today. RHA will host a boat race. Each boat must be constructed using cardboard and duct tape. Boats made by each hall will then com-pete, starting at 5 p.m. at the Campus Pond.
Everyone seems to be excited about this event including Mark Hudson, director of Uni-versity Housing and Dining Services.
“It’s always nice to see what you can do with some cardboard and duct tape,” Hudson said.
Tuesday night at 7p.m will be Bingo night at the University Ball Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
Players have a chance to win prizes up until 9 p.m. so punctuality is advised.
Wednesday there will be an obstacle course at 5 p.m. in the South Quad.
Nicci Vergara, senior and Family and con-sumer sciences major, is a RHA representative for Stevenson Hall and development chair of RHA.
“It was a big hit last year,” Nicci Vergra said.During the obstacle course race, members
from each hall will race one another until there is only one winner standing.
Thursday will be the scavenger hunt, from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m, between residence halls.
ROC Fest will have a closing lunch in Tay-lor Dining Hall at 12 p.m. Only residence hall members are invited to this event.

Students who are relying on their resumes to move forward after graduation will have the op-portunity to get feedback on them during the Critique Blitz seminars today.
�e goal is to have students in and out in 15 minutes, but students should come with plenty of time, in case there is a line in front of them.
Format, grammar, spelling, length, and if they are selling themselves to their targeted audience will be looked over and corrected, said Debbie Endsley, career advisor and employer relations counselor.

Tito Puente Jr. and His Latin
Big Band played to honor his late father last Friday at the Dvorak Concert Hall in the Doudna Fine Arts Center.
Puente performed at Eastern as a part of Latin Heritage Month.
Puente played a variety of mu-sic. �e songs where performed in Spanish, but when Puente stopped to talk to the audience, he spoke in both Spanish and English. When Puente would stop and talk
to the audience between songs, he would give them background in-formation about each song. His song genres ranged anywhere from 1950’s mambo sounds to Cuban rhythm music.
Most of the songs Puente per-formed belonged to his father, but Puente also performed a few songs from his new CD, “Got Mambo.”
Puente seemed to really enjoy
himself on stage and would even joke with the audience between songs.
Puente mentioned his father numerous times throughout the show and the audience could tell how much Puente’s father meant to him.
“1949…what a great year. It was the year my dad started his ca-reer,” Puente said.

The National Residence Hall Honorary will be hosting its fourth annual T-shirt sale for Breast Can-cer Awareness Week.
Breast Cancer Awareness Week begins today and ends Friday.
NRHH started selling T-shirts four years ago to raise money to find a cure and to make students more aware of the disease.
Last year the organization sold almost $4,000 worth of shirts, but hopes to sell more.
The proceeds will go to Mill’s Breast Cancer Institution in Cham-paign.
Over the course of four years, NRHH has raised over $10,000 for breast cancer.
Jessica Ward, advisor of NRHH, said more people need to be aware of the disease even if they are not directly affected.
“The disease is just close to me as a woman,” she said. “You never know if you could get it in the fu-ture.”
It was est imated by Breast-Cancer.org by the end of 2010, 207,090 new cases of invas ive
breast cancer are expected to be di-agnosed in women in the U.S. and about 1,970 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men.
One out of eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her life, according to BreastCancer.org.
Ward said she would like to help inform students that men can get breast cancer as well.
“This is not just a woman’s dis-ease,” Ward said.
Breast cancer has reduced over the years due to advancement in medicine and early detections by awareness.
“As a society, we have to be aware,” Ward said.
The organization will also be having a dunk tank Friday in the Library Quad.
A variety of faculty members and students will be volunteering.
Cordy Love, assistant director of New Student Programs, volun-teered to get dunked Friday after-noon, even though he cannot swim.
“I can’t swim but it’s for a great
cause,” Love said.Love said he has participated in
AIDS awareness events in the past and is excited to help inform stu-dents about breast cancer.
“I’m a big fan of awareness,” Love said. “You don’t have to be personally affected by cancer to know the seriousness.”
The dunk tank will be in the Li-brary Quad from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The balls will be $1 each.
The T-shirt sale will be going on Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Library Quad as well.
The shirts will be blue and pink and $8.
“Everyone should do everything they can to be aware of what’s go-ing on,” Love said.

�e Latino American Student Or-ganization will be holding an event to teach students about piñatas today in the Bridge Lounge of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
Students will be able to learn Mex-ican history, origins and cultural im-portance. Students will also learn how to make their own piñata.
Students who make their piñatas will be allowed to take their piñatas home as well.
Dana Barnard, an advisor in charge of overseeing Monday’s event, said she thinks this event will help people learn not only more about pi-ñatas, but also as way to teach stu-dents more about the Mexican cul-ture.
“The goal is to break down some of the stereotypes in the Latin culture such as the origins of piñatas, food and the dances,” Barnard said. “We want to get rid of the false beliefs of these things, such as, the piñatas and dances are all from Mexico when tru-ly they are not.”
There will be display boards set up in the bridge walkway with infor-
mation on the Mexican culture. �e event will occur from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Students are free to come dur-ing that time to learn more about pi-ñatas.
People will also be on hand to help students with crafting and creating piñatas.
This event is part of the many events that LASO has had through-out this month because September is Latin Heritage Month.
Another events scheduled for this week is Latin dancing. Students can learn several Latin American danc-es with the help of dance instructors. �e Latin dance event will be �urs-day, Sept. 30.
Juanita Cross, head advisor of the Latin American Student Organiza-tion, has been responsible for help-ing to set up the events throughout the month.
“�e goal of LASO is to unite mi-nority students on campus and help the campus learn more about Latin American culture,” Cross said.

In his State of the University Address, President Perry stressed that Eastern has been doing a good job maintaining educa-tional quality and accessibility in bad finan-cial times.
We can all be proud, but students need to be very concerned about the future.
Why? Because the state of Illinois has been shrinking its responsibility to fund a sound and competitive system of public ed-ucation.
It has steadily shifted the cost onto citi-zens and their communities.
Look at the record. In 1975 the state provided 82 percent of
the cost of educating its student citizens, some of them the parents of our current stu-dents, at Eastern.
Today, the state provides only 45 percent of the cost. If this trend continues, your younger brothers and sisters, and your chil-dren, will pay more and get less.
Unless we act.In 2009-10 the state did not pay to East-
ern (almost) all the funds voted for it until well past the end of the fiscal year.
Local K-12 schools are suffering from drastic budget cuts, with a number of teach-ers laid off.
This crisis was brought on by the state’s irresponsible failure to raise the revenue needed to sustain public education for the people of Illinois.
Currently, the state’s unpaid bills amount to more than twice the higher education budget!
Last winter the Illinois Senate had the courage to pass a bill to address this long-standing problem by a modest increase in both personal and corporate income tax rates from 3 percent and 4.8 percent re-spectively, to 5 percent.
By doubling the property tax deduction for residences and tripling the earned in-come tax credit, the bill would have protect-ed homeowners and low-income citizens.
Though not a perfect nor painless mea-sure, the revenue raised would benefit citi-zens of Illinois for generations to come.
By sharing the burden, we can save the precious resource of public education, a re-source we cannot afford to lose.
Speaker Lisa Madigan refused to allow the House version of this bill, HB 174, to come to a vote.
The current budgetary impasse means we are digging ourselves into a fiscal hole which threatens deeper damage to our public edu-cation in Illinois.
We have shared moral purpose in educat-ing our young people and providing them – all of them – with opportunities for fulfill-ment and a quality livelihood.
Through the creation and sharing of knowledge, we empower our citizens to build strong communities and healthy living environments in which people can thrive.
Education is a human right and a public obligation.
Our financial crisis is not simply about money; it is about how best to spend money for the benefit of our citizens.
It is about who we choose to be as a so-ciety.
We urge students and their families to contact the governor and their legislators to insist on a fair and balanced budget that protects and enhances public education in our state.

Has television become the new filmChris D. Davies The Daily Vidette Illinois State University
In the �rst season of “Arrested Develop-ment” during the episode titled “Missing Kit-ty,” James Lipton, in one of his fabulous cam-eos as the new warden, turns to Tobias (David Cross) and debases him as “no more than a television actor.”
�e joke is based on years of assumptions that actors highlighting the small screen are not of the same caliber of their feature �lm counterparts.
It is a joke that has been perpetuated as recently as the 2010 Primetime Emmy’s, when Ricky Gervais said all the tough guys (i.e. Rus-sell Crowe, Christian Bale) would never show their faces on television.
�e juxtaposition of Gervais’ comments at the awards show present a dynamic disconnect between what he said and what is going on in television.
�e truth is that there has never been a bet-ter time for television – in fact, the art of long-form narrative has never been as strong as it is right now.�ere have been classic television shows before now.
I would lose all credibility if I did not rec-ognize the genius behind shows like “Seinfeld” or “M*A*S*H,” but the truth is that these shows did not require a season-long week-ly commitment from viewers the way shows today do.
Beginning around the end of the last cen-tury, television shows began to shift. Suddenly shows like “�e Sopranos,” “West Wing,” and yes, “Arrested Development,” came about and asked more than just a casual �ursday night commitment from their fans.
Instead, the stories of these shows demand-ed the viewers come back each week to see what would happen next.
While the former two shows had the dra-matic element to entice viewers to come back each week, Arrested Development (being ahead of its time) faltered because of the com-mitment fans needed to fully digest the story.
Perhaps the rise of television on DVD can be pinpointed as a reason for this gene-sis of storytelling, but today there are count-less shows that not only request a weekly com-mitment, but also present larger social con-structs in challenging ways that demand care-ful thought.
Shows like those mentioned above helped pave the way for the beautiful stories that are on TV now.
I �nd myself coming back weekly to see shows like “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad,” and “Dexter” for the drama, the historical basis, the moral dilemmas, the social norms broached.
�e shows that are aired in syndication on “TV Land,” the classic television network, all share a common theme: mostly they are come-dies, and they have nonlinear storylines.

Today begins Breast Cancer Awareness week.
By the end of this year, 207,090 new cas-es of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in U.S. women, according to BreastCancer.org.
About 1,970 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men.
According to The National Cancer Insti-tute 39,840 women will die of breast can-cer in 2010.
According to the same institute, based on rates from 2005-2007, 12.15 percent of women born today will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some time during their life-time.
Those numbers may be shocking. That is why it is important to take part in
Breast Cancer Awareness Week.
While this message has probably been beaten into the ground, it is still important. It is never too early to check for signs of breast cancer.
All women, no matter what age, should check themselves for lumps once a month.
If anything feels different or if a lump is found, the woman should see a doctor.
It is also important to have a yearly physi-cal with a doctor.
Early detection is important in finding the cancer and getting rid of it.
For those who do not have breast cancer, there are still ways to get involved and help the cause.
The National Residence Hall Honorary is helping to get the word out on campus.
For the fourth year, they will be selling T-shirts.
Last year the group earned over $4,000 for the cause.
This year they hope to raise even more.The organization will also have a dunk
tank Friday in the Library Quad. A variety of faculty members and stu-
dents will be volunteering.This is a small way to help spread aware-
ness. Every little bit helps. By purchasing a T-shirt or stopping to
throw a ball at the dunk tank, a person is making a difference.
The money raised will be used to find a cure and ways to help prevent it in the fu-ture.
Everyone should also do their part to sup-port the cause, because it affects millions of Americans each year.

CHICAGO — Two anti-war ac-tivists said Saturday that a 12-hour search of their Chicago home by the FBI was an attempt to intimidate them and silence the peace move-ment.
Joe Iosbaker and his wife, Stepha-nie Weiner, said the government tar-geted them because they have been outspoken against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and U.S. funding of conflicts abroad.
They denied any wrongdoing.The FBI said it searched eight ad-
dresses in Minneapolis and Chicago Friday.
Warrants suggest agents were looking for connections between lo-cal anti-war activists and groups in Colombia and the Middle East.
Iosbaker and Weiner declined to discuss their relationship with any groups abroad, citing their upcom-ing testimony before a grand jury on Oct. 5.
“These raids, searches and grand
jury investigations are nothing more than an attempt to intimidate us and to intimidate the anti-war movement,” Iosbaker said. “We have done nothing wrong.”
FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said Saturday that the bureau’s investiga-tions “are predicated on criminal vi-olations, not First Amendment pro-tected activities.”

CHICAGO — The Illinois Stu-dent Assistance Commission says now is the best time to lock in col-lege tuition prices with the state’s prepaid tuition program. Prices in-crease Oct. 1.
The state’s prepaid tuition pro-gram allows parents of college-bound students to lock in a tu-ition rate ahead of time and pay toward that tuition into a low-risk investment fund.
Under the program, students can choose to attend college al-most anywhere. Benefits can be used at Illinois public universities and community colleges or ap-plied at public and private institu-tions nationwide.

BOSTON — Cancer patients, brace yourselves. Many new drug treatments cost nearly $100,000 a year, sparking fresh debate about how much a few months more of life is worth.
The latest is Provenge, a first-of-a-kind therapy approved in April. It costs $93,000 a year and adds four months’ survival, on average, for men with incurable prostate tumors. Bob Svensson is honest about why he got it: insurance paid.
“I would not spend that mon-ey,” because the bene�t doesn’t seem worth it, said Svensson, 80, a former corporate finance officer from Bed-ford, Mass.
His supplemental Medicare plan is paying while the government decides whether basic Medicare will cover Provenge and for whom. �e tab for
taxpayers could be huge — prostate is the most common cancer in Amer-ican men. Most of those who have it will be eligible for Medicare, and Provenge will be an option for many late-stage cases. A meeting to consid-er Medicare coverage is set for Nov. 17.
“I don’t know how they’re going to deal with that kind of issue,” said Svensson, who was treated at the La-hey Clinic Medical Center in subur-ban Boston. “I feel very lucky.”
For the last decade, new cancer-fighting drugs have been topping $5,000 a month.
Only a few of these keep cancer in remission so long that they are, in e�ect, cures. For most people, the drugs may buy a few months or years.
Insurers usually pay if Medicare pays.
But some people have lifetime caps and more people are uninsured be-
cause of job layo�s in the recession. The nation’s new health care law
eliminates these lifetime limits for plans that were issued or renewed on Sept. 23 or later.
Celgene Corp.’s Revlimid pill for multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, can run as much as $10,000 a month; so can Genentech’s Avastin for certain cancers.
Now Dendreon Corp.’s Provenge rockets price into a new orbit.
Unlike drugs that people can try for a month or two and keep us-ing only if they keep respond-ing, Provenge is an all-or-nothing $93,000 gamble.
It is a one-time treatment to train the immune system to �ght prostate tumors, the �rst so-called cancer vac-cine.
Part of why it costs so much is that it is not a pill cranked out in a lab, but a treatment that is individual-
ly prepared, using each patient’s cells and a protein found on most prostate cancer cells.
It is expensive and time-consum-ing to make.
It is also in short supply, forcing the first rationing of a cancer drug since Taxol and Taxotere were ap-proved 15 years ago.
At the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, doctors plan a modified lottery to decide which of its 150 or so eligible pa-tients will be among the two a month it can treat with Provenge.
An insurance pre-check is part of the process to ensure they �nancially qualify for treatment.
“I’m fearful that this will become a drug for people with more resourc-es and less available for people with less resources,” said M.D. Anderson’s prostate cancer research chief, Dr. Christopher Logothetis.

NEW YORK — Comic book fans will be getting their �rst glimpse at an unlikely new superhero — a Muslim boy in a wheelchair with superpowers.
The new superhero is the brain-child of a group of disabled young Americans and Syrians who were brought together by the Open Hands Intiative. An early sketch of the super-hero shows a Muslim boy who lost his legs in a landmine accident and later becomes the Silver Scorpion after dis-covering he has the power to control metal with his mind.

�e University Board gave tailgaters the opportunity to participate in Bon-go Ball, a mixture of laser tag, paintball and American Gladiator, Saturday in the tailgate area behind O’Brien Field.
Bongo Ball is a game like laser tag, in which the shots do not hurt, but is also like paintball because of the air bun-kers.
It is also similar to American Gladi-ator in that air cannons are loaded with Nerf balls and are shot at other players with a burst of carbon dioxide.
Bongo Ball was played on a 200 feet by 200 feet �eld, the length of a basket-ball court.
Before players were allowed to par-ticipate, they were instructed to put on a mask to protect their faces and were given an overview of the rules and how the equipment worked.
The game started with two teams, with a maximum of five players on a team, on each side of the field. The players were allowed to start when the referee said “go.” �e �rst team without
any players left lost the game. Saturday’s event was free, and no pri-
er sign up was needed.
Mike Hammer, a junior physical ed-
ucation major, said, “It was awesome.” Many students felt Bongo Ball
helped add to the feel of tailgating. “It’s fantastic! I know that the Uni-
versity Board actually brought it here
and I think more events like this would help out with tailgating,” said Ti�any Leschke, a graduate student in College Student A�airs.
�e UB �rst had this event at East-
ern last year during the spring �ing.

Board discusses future of economy for graduatesBy Shelley Holmgren Administration Editor
The Accountancy Advisory Board met to discuss the current state of the economy and how it will affect grad-uates, with members Pat Roan, Brian Talley and Kaleb Lilly leading the dis-cussion.
How the economy will mold and change in the coming years was the central focus of the discussion. Many AAB members were concerned by how government action will be able to a�ect the state of the economy.
“�e question is – (is the economy) going to die by amputation, or (is it) going to die by paper cuts,” said Kent Rodgers, CPA for CarDon & Associ-ates, Inc. in Bloomington, Ind. “(�e economy) is dying by paper cuts.”
The National Bureau of Econom-ic Research, an independent group of economists, released a statement earlier this month saying economic data shows that the recession technically ended in June of this year, according to CNN.
Lilly, who is a manager for Rubin Brown, LLP, Clayton, Mo., noted that
although the numbers may say one thing, living with them is another.
“�is recession we’re ‘out of ’ isn’t re-ally looking that great,” he said.
Even though the economy is mak-ing it even harder for college to become a reality for high school graduates, the AAB agreed that getting a degree is more important now than ever.
Roan said to save money in these times, several companies will hire one employee with a degree in lieu of three or four non-degree employees.
Although the job market is more competitive than ever, Roan said the way for graduates to not get lost in the shu�e is to make sure that they do in-ternships.
Roan, who is the finance manager for State Farm Insurance in Blooming-
ton, said when the company is hiring, internships are the most signi�cant ad-vantages for applicants.
“If you weren’t an intern, you weren’t hired,” Roan said.
Talley, who is a business support manager for Caterpillar, Inc. in Aurora, said last year internships were down by one-third, making it even more com-petitive for graduates.
During the discussion, the chang-ing attitudes of current college students entering the work force were also ad-dressed by the AAB.
“�ere’s de�nitely an attitude di�er-ence – ‘entitled’ I think is the word,” Lilly said. He said because many con-temporary parents often do not allow their children to experience failure, they never have the opportunity to learn
from it.“�e responsibility for adjusting this
culture is on us,” Roan said.The AAB serves in an advisory ca-
pacity to the Accountancy faculty and Chair of the School of Business and as advocates of the Accountancy Pro-gram. �ey also act as a source for the business faculty for planning curricu-lum development as well as developing professional relationships.
When examining the affect of the economy on businesses, there is a cur-rent trend of mergers and acquisitions activity increasing, with more foreign investments being initiated, Lilly said.
He said that another trend emerging is the increase of bank consolidation.
�e number of U.S. banks could fall to 5,000 over the next decade from the current 7,932, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“It’s a very tough time for clients to get loans,” Lilly said. “(�e banks) have the money, but (they) can’t give it.”

Attending and signing in to each event will earn points for partici-pant’s halls, along with collecting Panther Babies.
Panther Babies are new to ROC Fest.
Hudson said they are a more ex-citing way to earn points for each hall.
Panther Babies are small black cardboard animals hidden through-out campus. Once a resident finds a Panther Baby, they will bring it back to their hall and enter the small code on the back of the Pan-ther Baby to the e-mail address giv-en. This will earn that specific hall points.
The hall with the most points will win the ROC Fest guitar to be displayed in their hall.
Alisha Baxton, a sophomore fam-ily and consumer sciences major and RHA member, is excited for ROC Fest.
“I will be attending all the events and plan on winning the guitar for Carman Hall,” Baxton said.
Vergara said she is excited to be in charge of ROC Fest for the first time and hopes to see a huge crowd.
ROC Fest has been an Eastern tradition for several years and is highly recommended for its social aspect.
“It’s a great way to meet new people, so come out and support ROC Fest,” Vergara said.

ROC Fest Event Schedule�ere will be at least four counselors
there to critique the resumes.The students can bring in a hard
copy of their resume, or they can bring it in on a �ash drive so that changes can be made.
Counselors will assist students in de-termining which particular activities, experience opportunities and volunteer work that should be included in their resumes, depending on their chosen ca-reer path.
If the student is uncertain who their targeted employers are, counselors might be able to give them guidance in that decision as well.
Students will also be asked to list their participation in student and pro-fessional organizations and volunteer work, leadership positions and intern-ship opportunities.
Also, students will be given advice on how to act, what to say, and how to dress during the fair or interview.
Since the interviews at the fair are so short, the interviewers are looking for concise and objective resumes. They should be short, bulleted, and to the point so that they can be quickly and easily read and understood.
If the students cannot make it to the blitz, they can always set up an appoint-ment with one of the counselors in the Career Services o�ce. �ey can also call and see if they can e-mail their resume and get feedback.
The critiques will be from 1 to 4 p.m. in Room 1301 of the human ser-vices building.

By the end of the show, Puente had the audience dancing in the aisles of the auditorium.
“Did you all feel it? I saw you all dancing. I’m getting to you,” Puente said.
The d iver se g roup of audi -ence members seemed to really en-joy themselves at the show. People clapped, danced and sang along to all Puente’s songs.
During the show Puente even ded-icated a song off his new CD to his new baby son. �is song became a fa-vorite moment for some of the con-cert-goers.
“My favorite part of the show was when he (Tito Puente Jr.) did the tribute song for his son. It let us know he’s very family-oriented,” said Amber Brigsby, a senior elementary education major.
At the end of the show, Puente came onstage wearing a blue Eastern T-shirt and the crowd went wild.
Audience members enjoyed the in-teraction Puente had with all his fans.
“�e show was very entertaining. I thought it was great that he’s fol-lowing his father’s legacy,” Dantavia Payne, a senior early childhood edu-cation major, said.
Puente a l so s tayed a f ter the
show to sign autographs, pose for photos and talk with his fans. Pu-ente has been performing since he was 16 years old, and he credits his father.
“My father is a great inspiration for why I perform. It’s a wonderful feeling and people remember this. He is the only and true in�uence for why I do what I do. And my chil-dren now too,” Puente said.
Puente feels honored to be the main event during Latin Heritage month.
“I’m glad I can be a pinnacle of light to the Latin community. I am proud to be a Latino. I’m very hum-bled by it,” Puente said.

ATLANTA — One clutch shot gave Jim Furyk two big trophies Sun-day.
He sat between them that after-noon after his dramatic victory in the rain at East Lake, the crystal trophy for the Tour Championship on his left and the sterling silver FedEx Cup trophy on his right.
Which one meant more?Furyk reached out his right hand
and gently tapped the silver cup, which might be more valuable than the $10 million that comes with it.
Clinging to a one-shot lead, in a bunker so deep he could only see the top of the lip, Furyk hit a clean shot and watched it head for the flag. It landed inches from the cup and spun to a stop two and a half feet away for an easy par and a one-shot victory over Luke Donald.
He put his name on a trophy with Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh. He �-nally won the Tour Championship, giving him three victories in a sea-son for the �rst time in his career. He stated a strong case — three victories and FedEx Cup champion — as PGA Tour player of the year.
Maybe that explains why his sto-ic demeanor gave way to a celebration never before seen out of Furyk.
“It just hit me,” said Furyk, who closed with an even-par 70. “I was ex-cited and dropped the putter and ... I don’t know. I guess at that moment,
you’re not really responsible for what happens next.”
He thrust his fist toward the grandstand with such force that it looked like he heaved his golf ball into the crowd. And he shared a hug with his wife, Tabitha, asking her, “Did I win the bonus?”
Furyk had a pretty good idea when he walked off the 18th tee, and the cheer of the crowd when he tapped in only con�rmed it.
It was the kind of �nish the PGA Tour had in mind when it created the FedEx Cup four years ago. Six players had a chance to claim the $10 million prize over the �nal hour at East Lake, from Matt Kuchar as the top seed to Nick Watney all the way down at No. 28.
�en came the �nal hole.Donald chipped in for birdie from
100 feet on the 17th hole to keep his hopes alive. Furyk, who had a three-shot lead with three holes to play, made bogey on the 16th and 17th holes and hit his hybrid into a bun-ker on the 18th. If he made bogey, Furyk and Donald would go back to the 230-yard 18th hole for a sudden-death playoff with $11.35 million riding on the outcome.
�en came a bunker shot that de-�ned a career worth of grit. He was in a bunker nine times at East Lake, and saved par every time.
Donald didn’t bother going to the range. He waited in the scoring trail-er.
“I didn’t feel like going out in the rain and drowning myself even more,” Donald said. “So I was just watching the action, seeing if there was a chance I was going to get in a playo�. But Jim made a great up-and-down at the last and deserved the vic-tory.”
Furyk �nished at 8-under 272 and earned $1.35 million, along with the $10 million bonus, the biggest pay-o� in golf. He moved to No. 5 in the world ranking.
Furyk was the No. 3 seed when the playoffs began, but was disqualified from the opener when he missed his pro-am time at �e Barclays because the battery died in his cell phone, which he used for an alarm. He was No. 11 in the standings going into the Tour Championship, and became the first player out of the top 10 to win the cup.
Turns out he joins Woods as the only FedEx Cup champions to miss the first playoff event — Woods in 2007 because he didn’t want to play, Furyk this year because he couldn’t.
He still ranks the U.S. Open as his biggest win, although this was a close second.
“It’s only 4 years old,” he said of the FedEx Cup. “But 40 years from now, there should be a lot of histo-ry in this trophy. And to have ‘Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk’ ... I’m very proud of that, because those two can flat play — two of the most dominant players of my era, for sure.”
This Sunday was so bizarre that Kuchar, who shot 71 and tied for 25th in a 30-man field, still had a chance to win the FedEx Cup. He wound up second for a $3 million bonus. Donald moved up to third in the standings and picked up an extra $2 million.
Retief Goosen also had a chance at both trophies until a bogey on the 17th. He shot a 71 and �nished alone in third at the Tour Championship. Watney (67) and Casey (69) tied for fourth.
�e celebration was dampened by a two-hour rain delay that sent most
of the fans home from East Lake. For those who stayed, it was tough to ap-plaud with one hand on the umbrella as the rain pounded the players over the �nal hour of competition.
Even so, a FedEx Cup finale has never had so many possibilities, so much movement.
Watney wasn’t even a remote can-didate when he went into the week-end tied for 25th in the 30-man �eld, 13 shots out of the lead. �en came a 63 in the third round, and he kept right on going. Watney shot a 28 on the back nine Saturday, then had a 30 on the front nine Sunday to pull within one shot of the lead.
Watney could have won the Fe-dEx Cup with a victory at East Lake, provided Kuchar did not �nish alone in 25th. Kuchar missed a 7-foot par putt on the �nal hole.
�at became irrelevant when Wat-ney failed to birdie the par-5 15th and made his �rst bogey of the round on the 16th.
Even when Furyk had a three-shot lead after his birdie on the 15th, the FedEx Cup remained in doubt.
Casey, who has not won a tourna-ment all year, could have claimed the $10 million bonus by �nishing alone in second place. Casey was at 6 under — one shot behind Goosen in second — when he hit his approach toward the corporate tents on the 17th. Af-ter a free drop, he hit a wedge to just outside 5 feet and badly missed the putt.
A $10 million bunker save for FurykBy The Associated Press
FOOTBALL, from page 12On the last drive, Large said he
could not believe the Panthers did not score.
“We left it all on the line,” Large said. “(JSU) made a play.”
After taking a 9-0 lead in the �rst quarter, the Eastern offense stalled for two quarters, until the 14-point rally to end the fourth quarter.
�e wind was sucked out of East-ern’s sails when JSU running back Jamal Young broke a 76-yard touch-down run with 2:35 left in the �rst half, according to Spoo.
Then, Garoppolo threw an in-terception on the first play after Young’s big run.
“The long run was discouraging because we just don’t give up ones like that,” Spoo said. “�en the in-terception put them in really good �eld position.”
JSU started with the ball at East-ern’s eight-yard line, and Young �n-ished o� the three-play drive with a �ve-yard touchdown.
In the span of one minute, JSU scored 14 points.
Young finished the game with 162 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged nine yards per carry.
In the second half, Spoo said he was happy with how much ener-gy his team had. In the fourth quar-ter, everything clicked with Large at quarterback.
Senior running back Jimmy Po-tempa said if Eastern would have played as well as they did in the fourth quarter the entire game, then it would have won.
Spoo said it is a shame that the only reward in football is winning.
“I just have one regret, which is that we lost,” Spoo said. “�ey de-served to win. �ey fought very hard and showed a lot of e�ort.”
Eastern will be home next week to play Southeast Missouri at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at O’Brien Field.

These losses drop the Panthers to 7-7 this season as well as putting them in an 0-2 hole to start their OVC schedule.
�e team will need to do a better job of executing a game-plan, head coach Kate Price said after Friday’s match.
“We didn’t take care of business on our side of the court, and when you do that you make it hard on yourself to win a match,” Price said.
Price also said the Panthers were playing well at times, but that they needed to focus their play throughout
the match instead of over short stretch-es.
“You can’t just push for five or six points at a time,” Price said. “You have to be able to push like that throughout the entire match.”
Freshman outside hitter Reynae Hutchinson, who tallied her �rst career double-double on Saturday with 26 kills and 13 digs, said the team is great when they play well, but she said the Panthers need to become more consis-tent.
“I think we just need to come to-
gether and play as a team more often than we do,” Hutchinson said. “When everything clicks, it’s great. We just need to start clicking on a more regu-lar basis.”
Junior setter Chrissie Albers said the Panthers need to do a better job of con-trolling their own side of the court.
“Our biggest obstacle this weekend was ourselves,” Albers said. “We just made mistakes on our side.”
The Panthers will look to improve Tuesday, as they play at home against Murray State.
Albers said this weekend has pumped up the Panthers to prove all their doubters wrong.
“�is weekend really put a �re inside of us,” Albers said. “We want to show them what EIU volleyball is all about.”
Hutchinson said when push comes to shove it falls on the players to exe-cute the way they know they can.
“Both coaches have done a fantastic job preparing us and getting us ready,” Hutchinson said. “It all comes down to game night and being out there on the court.”
Albers said the team just needs to fo-cus on taking care of their side of the court.
“If we stay together, be smart and aggressive we should have no trouble playing our best,” Albers said.
The Panthers continue their con-ference schedule at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Lantz Arena against Murray State.

By The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Albert Pujols’ stellar play is not showing any signs of slow-ing down despite his club being on the brink of postseason elimination.
Pujols hit his league-leading 42nd home run and the St. Louis Cardinals held o� the Chicago Cubs 8-7 Sunday, preventing the NL Central from being clinched.
�e �rst-place Cincinnati Reds won at San Diego and also needed a loss by the Cardinals to win the division.
“What’s to lose? We’re going to go out there and continue to do what we’ve been doing since day one and go out there and play hard,” Pujols said. “Hopefully, we’ll keep putting that pressure on them that they have to win. It’s not over.”
Pujols hit a three-run homer and Matt Pagnozzi drove in three runs as the Cardinals took an 8-0 lead in the �fth inning. �e Cubs’ rally fell short, and they finished 35-46 at Wrigley Field this season.
Cardinals starter Jake Westbrook (3-4) pitched 5 1-3 innings and allowed three earned runs. He didn’t allow a hit until two outs in the �fth inning, then retired only two of his next 10 batters.
Ryan Franklin got �ve outs for his 26th save in 28 opportunities. He re-tired Xavier Nady on a popup with runners on first and second in the eighth and pitched a perfect ninth in-ning.
As Cardinals manager Tony La Rus-sa watched his team struggle to hold o� the Cubs, he was perplexed by the way his team has played against below .500 teams. St. Louis is 45-49 against losing teams this season.
“That’s been ridiculous. It’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen in all my years. I have no explanation, we’ve just had a tough time beating clubs with a losing record,” La Rus-sa said. “And I don’t mean they’re los-ers because they’re playing really well now and a lot of times they’re playing young guys with a lot of spark. Our re-cord has not been very good. �is club just swept us in St. Louis, so it was good to get two out of three here.”
Jeff Smardzija (2-2) allowed eight runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. He also walked seven.
“It’s a big challenge for Je� to get his command where it is supposed to be,” Cubs interim manager Mike Quade said. “�ere is a lot of good people in this organization who have been work-
ing with him. He will keep working, that’s the deal. It’s about command, we
know his arm strength, his soft game is coming along, you have to throw strikes and quality strikes and every-body at this level does.”
Pujols’ homer highlighted a four-run first inning. His drive into the wind landed on Waveland Avenue, and Smardzija walked the next two batters before Pagnozzi hit an RBI single with two outs.
“�ey were aggressive, and I was ag-gressive, too,” Pujols said.
St. Louis scored four more runs in the fifth. After two walks, Smardzi-ja gave up an RBI single to Brendan Ryan and Pagnozzi followed with a two-run double.
Pinch-hitter Brad Snyder had a two-run single in the Cubs’ �fth.
Kosuke Fukudome had an RBI double in the sixth and Westbrook’s outing ended after walking Bobby Scales with one out. Scales later scored on pinch-hitter Micah Hoffpauir’s two-out single.
�e Cubs closed to 8-7 in the sev-enth, helped by center fielder Col-by Rasmus’ two-base error. Reliever Mitchell Boggs struck out Alfonso So-riano and Welington Castillo to end the inning.
Quade, who grew up in Chica-
go, may have managed his last game at Wrigley Field in a Cubs uniform as general manager Jim Hendry contin-ues to interview candidates.
“It’s been a tale of two seasons for me with the responsibility here the last few weeks,” Quade said. “I’ve en-joyed the challenge and I was happy for the opportunity and the guys have played pretty good and that’s been a lot of fun. Overall, we got to get better and we all know that. Someone asked a while back if I think we could con-tend. Absolutely I think we can con-tend. I am an optimist and there is enough pieces here. I can’t go home this winter without believing that and whoever is running the show here will feel that way.”
Notes: A CT scan on Cardinals re-liever Blake Hawksworth was negative and he was to be released from the hos-pital a day after being hit in the face by a line drive. Hawksworth was hospi-talized overnight after being struck by Sam Fuld’s shot in the �fth inning of Saturday’s game. He received about 20 stitches, but the scan showed no struc-tural damage. ... St. Louis went 34-47 on the road this year.

�e Eastern softball team is con-tinuing its winning ways the team won 6-2 and 13-1 against Lake Land Community College and the Col-lege of DuPage, respectively, Sunday.
Sen io r p i t che r Amber May pitched 3-1/3 of no hit softball to pick up the win for the Panthers.
“After walking the first batter I didn’t think about the no hitter,” May said.
The Panther pitching staff held Lake Land to only two runs. May gave up only one hit before soph-omore pitcher Natalie Wunderlich entered the game and gave up two runs in the �fth and sixth innings.
The pitching was backed up by good defense.
Ally Seplak had a diving stop in the third inning to double off the runner at �rst to end the inning.
Lake Land did not have many
opportunities to score but they did plate two runs in the sixth to make the score 5-2, but freshman pitcher Stephanie Maday came in to close in the seventh inning for the win.
�e second game against the Col-lege of DuPage was a completely dif-ferent turn around for the Panthers as they jumped out early scoring in all innings except the �rst.
A two-run home run by junior in-�elder/out�elder Jen Saucier put the
Panthers up early. “�at was my �rst home run this year,” Saucier said.
�rough all the innings the Pan-thers had runners in scoring position and were able to score.
The biggest inning for the Pan-thers was the third inning when they sent nine hitters to the plate and scored three runs.
�e Panthers had the bases load-ed in the �fth inning and brought in two runs.
Maday pitched for the Panthers in the second game. She pitched great 3-1/3 and got the win for the Pan-thers.
Wunderlich came in for middle relief in both games and gave up two runs.
The Panthers had a total of 20 hits in the second game to put their hit total for the day to at least 30 hits.
With the 20 hits, they also scored in six straight innings and had 13 runs to put the total of the day at 20. Steve Morck can be reached at 581-7944 or [email protected].

The Eastern women’s soccer team hit the road for a pair of games over the weekend, as they faced the Austin Peay Governors and the Jacksonville State Game-cocks.
�e Panthers opened the week-end against Austin Peay and were defeated, 1-0.
�e Panthers su�ered their sec-ond goal of the season, which led to the �rst victory in nine meetings for Austin Peay over Eastern.
“We got beat and they got a break away and the ball bounced o� Sam Balek and o� another de-fender and into the goal,” said head coach Summer Perala.
Ashley Streid, a sophomore for-ward, said the Panthers played a good game except for one mistake.
“We had a lot of good chances, but we just made a big mistake,” Streid said.
�e Panthers were back in action Sunday and turned in a dominat-ing performance against Jackson-ville State.
Streid capped off the first half with her second goal of the season with only 12 seconds left on the clock.
“Sam Rall dribbled the ball up the �eld and her shot was de�ect-ed by the goalie and I kicked it in,” Streid said.
The last second goal gave the Panthers a 1-0 lead going into half-time.
It was Streid’s fifth career goal and her second goal against Jack-sonville State in her career. Soph-omore midfielder Jessie Morgan scored in the 85th minute for her �rst career goal as a Panther.
“It’s very exciting and a great
feeling to get my �rst goal at EIU,” Morgan said.
�e goal came on a corner kick by Ashley Eck that ran her team-leading assist tally up to three in 2010.
The Panther defense held Jack-sonville State’s offensive attack to only two shots on Sunday.
S e n i o r g o a l k e e p e r K a y l i n Lorbert recorded her fourth shut-out of the season and posted her 10th shutout of her career.
Sunday’s victory was the first time in nine games that Perala’s squad has walked off the oppo-nent’s home �eld with a victory.
“It was a great complete game by everyone today,” Perala said. “We are really excited that we were able to get it done on the road for the �rst time in nine games. We gained a lot of confidence with today’s road win.”
With Sunday’s victory the Pan-thers are 1-1 in Ohio Valley Con-ference play and will be back in action this weekend against the Southern Il l inois-Edwardsvil le Cougars and the Southeast Mis-souri State Redhawks.

Vizquel’s RBI single helps White Sox win By The Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Juan Pierre tripled home the tying run and scored on Omar Vizquel’s single in the seventh inning, leading the Chi-cago White Sox over the Angels 4-3 Sunday.
The White Sox have beaten the Angels seven straight times, their longest winning streak against them since a 10-game stretch in 1983-84.
Angels starter Jered Weaver (13-12) struck out nine and took over the major league strikeout lead with 229, two more than Seattle’s Felix
Hernandez.Tony Pena (5-2) pitched six in-
nings in his second big league start. He allowed three runs, all of them in the first inning.
Matt Thornton relieved Scott Linebrink after a leadoff single in the eighth and got six outs for his seventh save in nine tries.
Weaver (13-12) gave up three earned in 6 2-3 innings without walking a batter. His ERA went from 2.99 to 3.02 with one start remaining — no Angels starting pitcher has ended a season with at least 20 starts and an ERA under
3.00 since 1992, when Jim Abbott had a 2.77 mark.
Pierre singled, stole his major league-leading 61st base and scored on Carlos Quentin’s single in the sixth to get Chicago within 3-2.
Mark Teahen led off the White Sox seventh with a single, advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Alejandro De Aza and scored when right field-er Bobby Abreu took a bad route to Pierre’s two-out drive to the alley and the ball eluded his outstretched glove. Vizquel delivered Pierre with a single through the middle that chased Weaver.
The Angels grabbed their ear-ly lead on Abreu’s RBI double and run-scoring singles by Torii Hunt-er and rookie Hank Conger. Abreu’s hit made him the first player in his-tory to record 40 doubles, 20 hom-ers and 20 stolen bases five times in a career. No one else has done it more than three times.
Notes: Angels manager Mike Sci-oscia hasn’t contacted Texas man-ager Ron Washington yet to offer congratulations on Saturday’s AL West-clinching victory by the Rang-ers, but plans on doing it face-to-face when they begin a season-end-
ing four-game set in Arlington next Thursday.
“He’s done a terrific job, and they deserved it,” Scioscia said. “They cer ta in ly p layed bet ter than us over the course of the sea-son. They struggled during the last month, but we weren’t prepared to take advantage of it when the door was open. Otherwise, we’d be right in there. But that became a moot point, and that’s what’s disappoint-ing. The guys in that room didn’t perform at a level that would have had us contending, so that’s kind of the fly in the ointment.”

Based on the way the game was going this weekend, 28-9 in the fourth quarter, nobody would’ve guessed that such little mistakes on spe-cial teams would cost the Panthers on their last drive. However, it just so happens that some of the small things the common fan or reporter might overlook were actually the most crucial mistakes of the game.
It all started on Eastern’s second scoring drive. Freshman kicker Cameron Berra connected on a �eld goal earlier, to make the game 3-0, but he choked when Eastern scored a touchdown on the next drive. On the extra point, Berra kicked the ball o� of the right �eld goal post. �e game was 9-0… could’ve been 10-0.
If you aren’t already, keep track of this with me.At halftime, No. 4 Jacksonville State had come
back and padded the scoreboard. �e Gamecocks led at halftime, 21-9.
To start the second half, Eastern got the ball and did what all the Panther fans wanted to see. �e Panther o�ense drove the ball 61 yards down the �eld and gave Berra a chance to make a 29-yard field goal. He missed it wide left. So, if he would’ve made it, the game could’ve been 21-12. But if he made the extra point in the �rst quar-ter, the game would be 21-13. Instead, it was still 21-9.
In the fourth quarter, JSU struck first. The Gamecocks scored to make the game 28-9. �en, the craziness began.
Brandon Large enters the game for Jimmy Garoppolo and drives Eastern down the field. Touchdown. �en Large connects with Lorence Ricks for a two-point conversion.
Score: 28-17. Could’ve been: 28-21On Eastern’s next drive, Large drove 98 yards
for a touchdown. With the score 28-23, they had to go for a two-point conversion. But if the game would’ve been 28-21 – meaning the field goal and extra point would’ve been made – then Ber-ra could’ve kicked an extra point to tie the game.
Instead, Eastern had to go for two. �is time, they don’t get it.
Score: 28-23. Could’ve been: 28-28, guessing that Berra makes the extra point.
Now, pardon my tangent, we have to go back because JSU made mistakes, too. Gamecock kick-er James Esco missed two �eld goals over 40 yards during the game. So, that’s six points right there.
Score: 34-28, Eastern trails.But for the sake of my argument, let’s say Esco
only makes one of the 40-yard �eld goals because �eld goals of that length are di�cult. After Eastern gets the onside kick, they only trail 31-28 and can kick a �eld goal once they march down the �eld.
I suppose this is just proof that things could’ve been di�erent. And after the game, Spoo said the team could’ve had di�erent options at the end if they take advantage of a couple more things.
But the loss doesn’t go only on Berra and the special teams. Sure, everybody played their hearts out and that was great to see, but the offense stalled for two quarters and JSU running back Ja-mal Young ran all over Eastern.
Still, Saturday’s game was a great lesson to ev-eryone to why special teams can change a game from good to bad, or the other way around.

Eastern learns special teams lesson
With six minutes left, back-up quarterback Brandon Large entered Saturday’s football game and led Eastern on a rally, falling short with seconds left.
Trailing 28-9 to No. 4 Jackson-ville State, Large led the Panthers to score 14 points on consecutive Eastern drives.
Then, with a little over 30 sec-onds remaining in the game, East-ern trailed 28-23 and attempted an onside kick.
Eastern red-shirt junior wide re-ceiver Lorence Ricks recovered the onside kick, and the Panther bench erupted into excitement.
On the �rst play, with 64 yards to go until the end zone, Large completed a 25-yard pass to soph-omore wide receiver Chris Wright. �en, Large hooked up with soph-omore wide receiver Erik Lora for 14 more yards.
With only 25 more yards to go, Large threw a pass toward the right sideline, near the end zone. Wright had it in his hands, but was hit by a JSU player and dropped it.
The next pass, with 11 seconds left, was in the left corner of the end zone intended for red-shirt sophomore Von Wise. Wise, who has two touchdowns this season, bobbled the ball and watched it hit the ground.
With six seconds left, Large had one �nal pass, which was intercept-ed in the air by JSU defensive back Brooks Robinson at the three-yard line.
�e Panthers improbable come-back ended with one second on the clock, and Eastern fell to 0-4 for the �rst time since 1977.
Eastern head coach Bob Spoo said anything could have happened at the end because all of Large’s passes to the end zone were close; however, JSU made the plays they needed to make. Large, who start-ed the �rst three games for the Pan-
thers before being benched Satur-day, said he felt a lot of adrenaline going through his body on the last drive.
“We were moving it,” Large said.Large said he was upset with the
loss, having made such a big come-back and falling short at the end.
“It’s tough,” Large said. “We didn’t execute at the end.”
Large entered the game with
six minutes left in the game be-cause freshman quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was injured and could not play. To finish of the game, Large was 10-of-17 for 126 yards and a touchdown and an intercep-tion. Before Large entered, Garop-polo was 8-of-21 for 106 yards and two interceptions.
