Garden Catering vs. Wally’s Chicken Coop Volume CXX No. 110

Storrs, Conn.

Connecticut rules that 2011 lawsuit will move forward with trial in May, Catering claims stolen recipes and concept

By Marissa Piccolo Staff Writer

The State of Connecticut awaits answers in the pending lawsuit between eateries Garden Catering of Greenwich, Conn. and Wally’s Chicken Coop of Storrs, Conn.

The U.S. District Court of New Haven ruled on February 22nd that the case may proceed and a trial is scheduled for mid-May. In December 2011, Frank Carpenteri Jr. of Garden Catering filed an intellectual property case in the U.S. District Court of New Haven against brothers Michael and Jeff Natale, owners of Wally’s Chicken Coop. The Natale brothers were former employees of Garden Catering who left to startup their own UConn-based eatery. The case not only claims that Wally’s Chicken Coop stole recipes for Garden Catering’s signature chicken nuggets, but also copied their entire business model and trade secrets.

Garden Catering points to examples such as Wally’s “Topsy” breakfast sandwich, which they consider a blatant knockoff of their own

“Hotsy.” Both are a bacon, egg and cheese with chilli and home fries.

Garden Catering also claims that Wally’s Chicken Coop has attempted to falsely associate itself with Garden Catering, through social media and also word of mouth.

In a statement released

by Carpenteri and attorney James C. Riley of Whitman, Breed, Abbott & Morgan of Greenwich, Conn., Carpenti said, “They traded off the goodwill and name recognition that my family and I have worked extremely hard to create over the last 20 years.”

This is not the first time Garden Catering has found itself in court. Similar intellectual property cases against Chicken Joe’s in 2005 and two of Garden Catering’s former locations ended in settlements.

James Doyle, lawyer for Wally’s, filed a motion to dismiss the case, yet he was denied. “It ‘s that ridiculous.

All the claims are frivolous,” Doyle said. “The general public seems to think its funny, but it’s a serious issue.”

Garden Catering claims that its former employees, who now currently own and operate Wally’s, made off with company recipes, business model and trade secrets.

University insurance plan Summer abroad expands in subsidized, yet still pricey participation and exploration

By Alban Murtishi Staff Writer

Michael Kurland, director of Student Health Services, is a key player in making sure that graduate students not only get the care that they need, but get it at the right price. Graduate students operate on a set of rules and regulations separate from undergraduate students. Health insurance is a prime example of those differences.

Insurance benefits are derived from a large chain of command. At the top of that chain is Nationwide Insurance, which actually provides the insurance.

“Think of Nationwide as the big bank that gives the money and takes the risks,” Kurland said.

Cigna is the network that actually recruits doctors into the plan so that they will charge patients a negotiated price with companies in the Cigna network.

Kurland provides an example to detail Cigna’s role, and the role of networks like Cigna that affect pricing for students. If a student has an appendectomy and they’re out of network so the doctor can charge them $3000 for the service. The insurance com-

pany’s data shows that most doctors in that region charge $2500 (formally the “reasonable and customary” price) for the same procedure, so the insurance company will pay 90 percent of the $2500 if you are in-network with Cigna.

Out of network Cigna will still offer for the negotiated price of $2500, but will only

“We believe Bailey Agencies are doing a good job servicing students.”

cover 70 percent.

“In network doctors have accept the insurance companies rates, so theres always an advantage to being in network. Physicians in network have signed a contract agreeing to that hypothetical amount,” Kurland said.

Consolidated Health Plans, or CHP, actually process all the claims, calculates the copay and pays the doctor what insurance covers.

“Generally speaking if we get a complaint it will be about CHP because they would be the one who would actually deny your claim,” Kurland said. “We assist the student by advocating on their behalf to CHP.” The other name most graduate student will be familiar with is Bailey Agencies Insurance, who actually sign up students for the plans and distributes insurance cards.

There are about 5000 enrollees between graduate assistants and graduate fellows.

Because of the large number of enrollees, UConn health insurance bids out a competitive $20 million contract to companies like Bailey Agencies in order to gather the best plan for students.

The contract can be renewed every years, and so far Bailey Agencies has been with UConn 20 years.

“We bid out the insurance, and then its yearly renewable, and we can refuse to renew after year one, we believe Bailey Agencies are doing a good job servicing students,” Kurland said.

According to Bailey Agencies’ website, general pricing for graduate students ends up costing about $4000 annually, but with UConn subsidies that is reduced to about a $200 annual deductible.

“We think it’s a good plan, however, there are definite expenses that the patient

Marathon runners ease the grief

500 Extra bibs provided for those ‘profoundly affected’ by bombings BOSTON (AP) — “I need to run.”

The messages started arriving just hours after the bombings, pleading for an entry into the 2014 Boston Marathon. For months the calls and emails continued, runners begging for an opportunity to cross the finish line on Boylston Street and convinced it would ease at least some of their grief.

“They’d say, ‘I’m not a qualified runner; I don’t think I ever will be. I train. I run. I could do it. But because of what happened last year, I need to run,’” Boston Athletic Association executive director Tom Grilk said last week.

“It might have been because they were present at the finish, or they knew somebody who was working or was affected. They might have been somebody who lives in Haverhill, Mass., and they were watching the race and it hit ‘em hard. That was true for a lot of people.

“And we received some of these communications and we thought, ‘What do we do?’”

The B.A.A. had already expanded this year’s field to include more than 5,000 runners who were stranded on the course when the two explosions killed three and wounded 264 others. A few extra invitations were sprinkled among the first-responders and the victims, or their families; others went to charities and the towns along the route; some who said they were personally touched by the tragedy were already given bibs.

But organizers felt they might still be missing people, people who perhaps didn’t think their trauma was worthy amid all the lost limbs and physical scars. So, in November, they announced that about 500 bibs would be available for those “personally and profoundly impacted by the events of April 15, 2013.”

In 250-word essays submitted over the website, 1,199 would-be runners made their case. Almost 600 had the connection the B.A.A. was looking for.

“The anger, guilt and heartbreak I still feel today will never go away,” wrote Kate Plourd, who was in the medical tent, dehydrated and vowing never to run Boston again, when she heard the announcements: “Explosions at the finish line. Casualties.

Dismemberments. Prepare yourself to treat the victims.”

“Running the 2014 Boston Marathon will help me heal my mind,” she said in the essay that landed her bib No. 28115. “I’ll push myself ... to finish the 2014 Boston Marathon in honor of those who won’t ever give up, who I won’t ever forget.” ___ The last year in Boston has been punctuated with memorial services and other tributes, as well as fundraisers that have raised more than $60 million for the victims.

But for those who feel a connection to the Boston Marathon, that connection is most often felt through running.

And, when they decided they had to do something, they decided they had to run.

Dr. Alok Gupta, a trauma surgeon at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, about 2 miles from the finish line, thought about treating so many leg injuries caused by the ground-level bombs and concluded that running the race would be “just really poetic.”

AP

Ron McCracken of Dallas pays his respects at a makeshift memorial honoring to the victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings ahead of Monday’s 118th Boston Marathon, Sunday, April 20, 2014, in Boston. McCracken’s race last year was cut short due to bombings.

“I decided that’s what would be meaningful for me,” said Gupta, who was a medical student in New York during the Sept. 11 attacks and has since studied disaster preparedness. “Running the Boston Marathon this year — not next year, not New York, not Chicago: Boston. I just thought it would be meaningful for me.”

A competitive swimmer in high school, the now 37-yearold Gupta had no experience in distance running until he began to train for Monday’s race. “We’re on the second floor,” he said in a recent interview at his office. “I took the elevator.”

Googling “How long does it take to train for a marathon,” Gupta got an answer of 18 weeks.

Patriots’ Day was 18 ½ weeks away.

He applied and received bib No. 35542.

Alan Hagyard ran Boston for the first time in 2012 and was back in the field last year, coming down Boylston when the first bomb went off about 30 feet away.

“The memories often bring tears to my eyes,” he wrote in his application.

The explosion left him deaf in his left ear.

But he never considered sitting this one out.

“The next day, that night, I was ready to go again,” said Hagyard, 67, of Hamden, Conn. “Partly to say, ‘You can’t stop us.’”

Having missed the qualifying time by 13 seconds, Hagyard wrote the B.A.A. to ask for a waiver. When organizers created the special invitation, he asked for a chance to rewrite the ending to last year’s race.

“I want my current memory of Boston to be the perfect marathon,” said Hagyard, bib No. 24812. “To run it again is to say, ‘We’re going to make it perfect this year, better than ever.’” ___ So many of those contacted for this story had the same request: Please don’t make it about me.

The B.A.A. declined to make available those who read the applications, saying they wanted the attention to be on the runners. After sharing her story by telephone, finish line volunteer

Adrienne Wald called back the next morning to express regret; after all, the victims had it much worse.

“It’s weird to talk about being affected by the marathon,” Plourd said. “No one I know was injured.

A lot of us had really horrible experiences, but everyone walked away unscathed.”

But the victims are “so inspiring,” she said. “If people who have gone through this tragic experience can pull it together and be so strong, I figured I could, too.”

Orthopedic surgeon Sue Griffith is raising money for Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia to supply prosthetics for children. She wrote that she was celebrating her finish last year “until I found out that the cannons I heard at the finish line were actually bombs.”

Returning to work in Doylestown, Penn., she found her friend and running companion Amy O’Neill on her patient list with shrapnel deeply embedded in her calf.

They are returning to Boston together, Nos. 21321 and 21648.

“It’s going to be a great event, and we’re going to celebrate with the people of Boston,” Griffith said in a telephone interview.

“And that’s what we’re going to do.”

These are the people the B.A.A. was hoping to find, Grilk said, when it opened up the usually rigorous entry process for those who might qualify on an emotional level as well. Organizers heard from doctors and nurses and soldiers and victims and firstresponders — the usual kind like police and firefighters, but also the ordinary individuals who rushed in to help.

Sarah Gasse, a nursing student who volunteered last year, said receiving her bib this way was itself an honor. Now 21, she wrote in her essay that her mother also ran the race when she was 21 and following her footsteps from Hopkinton to Copley Square had long been a goal.

“Because of my experience, it now holds an entirely new meaning for me,” wrote Gasse, No. 28230. “Running the 2014 Boston Marathon would allow me to pay homage to those lost and injured that day, one more runner proving

just how strong Boston truly is.” ____ The submissions were raw with emotion, heavily introspective, often desperate, and yet unexpectedly hopeful.

“There are faces and images that I will never forget, and even writing about my experience now is proving more difficult than I had imagined,” Gasse wrote.

“Yet, despite the emotional trauma that ensued that day, I have a fire of passion in me that I have never known before. I am more confident than ever in my calling to work in health care.”

One of about 20 UMass-Boston nursing students who volunteered last year to serve on a sweep team, Gasse was at the finish line with a wheelchair to scoop up exhausted runners.

“There’s nothing like being at the finish line of the Boston Marathon,” Wald, a nursing professor who had run the race five times, told her students. “You’re going to be so inspired.”

“I made them read articles about hypothermia, blisters, cramps. And instead they were carrying people with tourniquets around their legs and horrific injuries,” Wald said on Tuesday, the anniversary of the attacks. “I was so worried that I had traumatized them all.

“I was worried they were going to change their majors. Instead they came into my office: ‘I’m going to be an E.R. nurse now.’

‘I’m going to work in trauma.’

They saw role models that day coming out of the medical tent acting like the top pros that they are.”

None of Wald’s students was injured. But another UMassBoston student, Krystle Campbell, was killed by one of the bombs.

Wald received bib No. 24741 and was hoping to run in Campbell’s memory, but the injury that kept her from running last year could put her back on the sweep team with her students.

“Running would probably be the dumbest thing I ever do. But it’s going to be really hard not to,” she said. “It’s an honor either way, to be part of this, to be able to contribute. If I can’t run it, I am beyond happy, honored to help other people reach their goals.”

Obamacare permeates grad insurance plan from UNIVERSITY, page 1

incurs, for example if you’re in network there is an annual deductible of $200 per person, also, you pay 10 percent of inpatient hospital expense, same thing for emergency room expenses.” Kurland said.

Kurland also mentions that the cost-benefit of the plan is also relative to how the pay of graduate assistant or fellow.

While $200 is a low deductible, the in-patient hospital expense could be $2500, 10 percent of that paid by the student is $250.

Kurland also details that there exists some holes in coverage, especially for specific vaccines not explicitly covered by the plan.

“Lets say you come in for a travel vaccine that costs $300, if the insurance doesn’t cover that vaccine, you will pay $300,” Kurland said.

“However, by and large most items provided by students

health services would be at no charge.”

Also interesting about the plan is that it coincides with the Affordable Care Act [ACA] which was officially started last December. Student Health Services have worked within the many guidelines of the act, also known as Obamacare.

“We met the 2014 standards two years before they came into effect.” Kurland said.

Benefits derived from this include that patients cannot be denied insurance for preexisting conditions. Obamacare also reduces the amount of profit the companies can derive from deductibles and copays.

“Under the ACA, insurance companies are limited to a certain profit margins, you could have a 100 players in the game and their all splitting that small pie.” Kurland said.

New Haven youth deaths lead to desperate measures

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — She hoped to be attending Torrence Gamble’s graduation in a few years, not visiting him in prison, Superintendent Garth Harries recalled a teacher telling him after Gamble was shot to death.

“Now she’s going to do neither,” Harries said.

Gamble, 16, was shot in the head on Daggett Street April 2.

He was the second teenager killed in the city in less than two weeks, and for the hundreds who gathered Thursday for My Brother’s Keeper Community Canvass, a reason to take action.

“We want to stop the senseless violent crimes that have been stealing our children from New Haven families, stealing life itself from young people in our city, and stealing all the potential contributions of those young people from our city forevermore,” said Mayor Toni Harp.

Harp was joined by Harries, Police Chief Dean Esserman, Fire Chief Allyn Wright and Youth Director Jason Bartlett. While they all come from different backgrounds, Harp said they are “united” by a common objective: raising awareness about the surge in violence and resolving to end it.

There have been six homicides to date in 2014.

Four-person teams of educators, public safety officers and citizens knocked on doors of “at-risk” youths Thursday hoping to prevent a seventh homicide. According to literature provided to canvassers, youths are considered to be “atrisk” if they are frequently absent from school, get in trouble often and are associated with guns, drugs or the “wrong crowd.”

The teams were armed with an invitation to Parent University, a “Teenage Guide to Being an Upstander,” a list of resources for the students and families, and a card for parents to fill out if they would like their child to be mentored. If a family engaged the team, they received a $20 gift card for Walgreens or Stop and Shop. If no one was home, the teams were instructed to leave the package of information at the home.

The canvass is the first in a series of initiatives the city plans to roll out to combat violence.

“My grave concern beyond the tragic loss of each life is the prospect of our community becoming desensitized to the violence and deaths,” Harp said.

Harp said the city cannot become “so callous” to the “steady sound of gunshots” that we forget each gunshot impacts a family.

Esserman said Thursday’s turnout was something he “needed to see.”

“This is something I needed to see because I still go to every shooting, and I go to every emergency room, and I go to every wake, and I go to every funeral, and I’ve seen our mayor there, and now, I see you,” Esserman said to the crowd at a meeting prior to the canvassing effort.

“There is nothing normal, there is nothing acceptable about losing a child,” Esserman said. “So I don’t know where this ends, but it feels like it begins here today.”

Fire Chief Allyn Wright said firefighters make the ultimate sacrifice of risking their lives to save another’s. These days, he said, children make the ultimate sacrifice too, but in “an unnecessary way.”

“You used to bury your grandparents, your parents, not your children, and it really bothers me,” he said.

Wright pledged to have every single firefighter on the streets trying to mentor youth. He said anyone who needs help can always ring the buzzer at the firehouse.

“I want to make sure that we are truly role models,” Wright said.

Members of the community were urged to sign up to be mentors through Gang of Dads, My Brother’s Keeper or the city’s youth department.

Leonard Jahad, a mentor through My Brother’s Keeper, said Gamble reached out the day before he was murdered.

“Two weeks ago Doug Bethea, he went to Riverside Academy to talk to youth,” Jahad said. “And a young man signed up. This young man approached Doug again at the funeral of Taijhon Washington, and he said, ‘Doug, don’t forget about me.’ The next evening, this young man was shot in the head and killed.”

Colorado holds public smoke out for ‘4/20’ » MARIJUANA

DENVER (AP) — Tens of thousands of revelers raised joints, pipes and vaporizer devices to the sky Sunday at a central Denver park in a defiant toast to the April 20 pot holiday, a once-underground celebration that stepped into the mainstream in the first state in the nation to legalize recreational marijuana.

The 4:20 p.m. smoke-out in the shadow of the Colorado capitol was the capstone of an Easter weekend dedicated to cannabis in states across the country. Although it is still against the law to publicly smoke marijuana in Colorado, police only reported 63 citations or arrests on Sunday, 47 for marijuana consumption.

“It feels good not to be persecuted anymore,” said Joe Garramone, exultantly smoking a joint while his 3-year-old daughter played on a vast lawn crowded with fellow smokers.

The Garramone family came from Hawaii, among the tens of thousands who crowded into various cannabisthemed extravaganzas, from a marijuana industry expo called the Cannabis Cup at a trade center north of downtown to 4/20-themed concerts at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater. Acts included Slightly Stoopid and Snoop Dogg.

At 4:20 p.m., an enormous plume of marijuana smoke wafted into the sky above downtown Denver as rapper B.o.B. belted out his song “Strange Clouds,” with the hook: “And all we do is light it up, all night/All you see is strange clouds/Strange clouds, strange clouds.”

The Civic Center Park event is the most visible sign of the pot holiday’s transformation. It started as a defiant gathering of marijuana activists, but this year the event has an official city permit, is organized by an events management company and featured booths selling funnel cakes and Greek food next

Partygoers listen to live music and smoke pot on the second of two days at the annual 4/20 marijuana festival in Denver, Sunday April 20, 2014. The annual event is the first 420 marijuana celebration since retail marijuana stores began selling in January 2014

to kiosks hawking hemp lollipops and glass pipes.

Gavin Beldt, one of the organizers, said in a statement that the event is now a “celebration of legal status for its use in Colorado and our launch of an exciting new experience for those attending.”

Denver is just one of many cities across the country where 4/20 marijuana celebrations were planned Sunday.

In Trenton, N.J., speakers urged a crowd of about 150 gathered at the statehouse to push state and federal lawmakers to legalize or decriminalize marijuana and called on Gov. Chris Christie to do what he

In San Francisco, Police Chief Greg Suhr said his officers would be cracking down on illegal parking, camping, drug sales, underage drinking and open alcohol containers at Golden Gate Park’s Hippie Hill. Officials did not want the unofficial pot holiday to disrupt Easter Sunday activities in the park.

In Washington, thousands celebrated in the only other state to legalize marijuana.

Events included a Snoop Dogg show Saturday night as well as an event sponsored by Seattle’s Dope Magazine, with a $99 “judge’s pass” available that included 10 marijuana samples.

Back in Colorado, University of Colorado officials closed the Boulder campus to all but students, faculty and staff on Sunday to ensure no 4/20 celebrations were held. Spokesman Ryan Huff said the tactic was working, with no arrests reported Sunday. The university says marking 4/20 is contrary to its mission of research, teaching and learning, and in the past, it has seeded a main lawn with fertilizer to keep revelers away.

While the weekend was for celebrating, recent events have brought serious scrutiny to Colorado’s experiment with legalizing marijuana. Denver police say a man ate marijuana-infused candy before shooting and killing his wife on Monday, an attack dispatchers heard during a 911 call the woman had placed. Her death followed that of a college student who traveled to Colorado with friends from Wyoming for spring break, ate more than the recommended dose of a marijuana-laced cookie, and jumped to his death from a hotel balcony in Denver.

to increase safety regulations.

Through a quirk of the calendar, the pot holiday shared a date with Easter Sunday.

Festivities got off to a slow start on Sunday. At noon, as bells from the Catholic cathedral a few blocks away rang out over downtown to signal the end of Easter services, only a few hundred people milled around Civic Center Park. The smell of marijuana was detectable, but mild.

As the clock counted down to the mythical time of 4:20 and crowds surged into the park, festivalgoers noted the big changes from previous years — more merchandise for sale and more police.

Last year’s rally was cut short by a shooting that wounded three. All attendees this year had to pass through security screening and a heavy police presence ringed the park.

“I still feel a little like a teenager,” Garramone said as he eyed police patrolling the park.

Just as striking was the proliferation of merchandise, from cannabis-related gear and T-shirts to $9 roast turkey legs and $4 water bottles.

“I can just imagine how much money is being made right now,” said Tina Crockett, 34, of Wichita, as marijuana smoke wafted into the air moments before 4:20 p.m.

The commercialism disappointed Bob Glisson, 27, who was attending his fourth 4/20 celebration in the park.

“It’s all about the money now,” the Denver resident complained.

Still, the whole scene was wonderfully surreal for Bud Long, 49, from Kalamazoo, Mich., who recalled taking part in his first 4/20 protest in 1984.

“Nationwide, it’ll be decriminalized,” he predicted on Saturday, the first day of the two-day festival, “and we’ll be doing this in every state.

AAC rewards UConn, and its fans, with opportunity to host next year’s tourney

L

ast week, the American Athletic Conference awarded the city of Hartford the hosting rights to the 2015 Men’s Basketball Tournament, which will be played at the XL Center. UConn will be considered the host school for this tournament.

This is good recognition for UConn as well as for Hartford in general.

Ever since the demise of the Big East, UConn fans have been claiming they are not respected in the AAC and hoping the school moves to another conference.

However, by awarding UConn and Hartford the hosting rights for the biggest conference event of the year, the AAC has shown UConn that it is one of the most important schools in the conference. It is counting on UConn fans to go to the games and buy tickets, generating revenue for the conference and filling seats. It knows UConn has the fan base to do so.

UConn fans should be proud that the AAC recognizes their tremendous base and show up in large numbers for the tournament next March. UConn should also be proud that their arena, the XL Center, was deemed to be worthy of hosting a major tournament. The arena will be undergoing renovations this summer to improve the fan experience, including additional private boxes and a new scoreboard. Additionally, a new concourse with an area for fans to stand will be built behind one of the baskets.

These renovations almost certainly contributed to the decision to play the tournament in Hartford, reaffirming the decision to make the changes.

Additionally, putting the tournament in Hartford will benefit the city in general. Fans of other schools will come in from all over the country, spending their money at local hotels, restaurants and bars. This will be a tremendous boost to business in the city and surrounding area, which have been struggling recently. Stores are going out of business, and this will provide them with much needed revenue.

Awarding the AAC Tournament to Hartford, and playing it on UConn’s home floor, shows the tremendous potential UConn has for the American Athletic Conference. Although many fans are unhappy with the current situation and feel disrespected by not being invited to a more prestigious conference, playing the tournament in Hartford shows that the AAC respects the Huskies and their fan base. UConn students and fans should be proud of hosting this tournament, and should turn up to show their support for the Huskies in March of next year.

Growth in China and India is misunderstood

F

rom 2000 to 2010, China and India experienced some of the most rapid economic growth in history. India’s real GDP growth rate doubled from 5 to 10 percent whereas China fluctuated between 8 and nearly 12 percent. Adulation has transmuted into disappointment, however, now that both developing economies are entering relatively slower growth periods, but largely missing from the cacophony of the presses is the fact that this economic growth has ignored the rural masses almost entirely, and thus

By Dan Gorry has done little to Weekly Columnist increase the standard of living within China or India.

China and India are renowned for their massive immobile labor reserves, which allow for extremely cheap low-skill labor in manufacturing or agriculture. However, it is important to understand that this aspect of both country’s economies was not developed naturally overtime, but rather was violently imposed by imperial powers in the late 1700’s. China and India have always historically been the two most dynamic economies on Earth, or so they were until the malfeasance of European empires - namely England - who then subjected the Asian titans to a process of “de-industrialization.”

India, which was the largest economy on Earth during the late rule of the Mughal Empire in the mid-18th Century, experienced the more drastic de-industrialization process. India’s massive rural peasant pop-

ulation was corralled onto British-owned plantations through the use of manufactured famines, and the colonial plantation-system remains largely intact to this day, much to the detriment of the indentured plantation workers. Most of the damage to India’s economy under the British Raj’s mercantilist reforms was dealt via the destruction of India’s unparalleled craft-industry, which was a policy designed to drive Indian craftsmen into the swelling labor reserves. The annihilation of craft guilds, the imposition of stringent pricing caps and bans on the production of any commodities that would compete with British manufactured goods all combined to diminish India’s share of global GDP from 24 percent in 1750 to 4 percent in 1950.

Similarly, China was eviscerated by a collection of imperial powers, but again the British played a leading role in the Opium Wars and the subsequent drafting of the “unequal treaties” that inaugurated China’s “Century of Humiliation.” The Boxer Rebellion at the turn of the 20th century was a direct cause of countless millions of peasants being driven from their lands - through a mix of gunboat raids and the unequal treaties - into urban foreign-owned manufacturing centers.

The modern industrialized states have never had to deal with such a large and lowskilled labor force, and what little unused labor reserves they did contain, were unloaded onto the New World in a series of settlercolonialist projects. In order for China and India to meaningfully improve their standard of living, they have to find a revolutionary way to engage such massive labor forces.

Contrary to what you are told by the business press, the growth experienced over the last decade was not in any way a boon to the poor rural masses in either country. If any-

thing the inequality that has yawned exponentially within their society has stymied the prospects for sustained long-term growth.

The virtual totality of economic development in China and India has been concentrated within the upper classes and the primarily U.S. owned multinational corporations that flooded onto the scene in the wake of neoliberal deregulation around 1980. Married to this drastic concentration of wealth was a decline in the health of both country’s civilian populations and their respective ecosystems.

These issues, though seemingly insurmountable, are not without a solution.

Prabhat Patnaik, the former Vice Chairman of the Kerala State Planning Board, espouses the idea that China and India can overcome their mutual socio-economic ills by investing heavily in the peasant-agriculture sector, as opposed to high-tech manufacturing or the export-oriented agricultural industry. Dr. Patnaik continues that a state-led initiative focused on the rural agrarian masses is the best way to not only lift large sections of the population out of poverty, but also an efficient avenue for improving healthcare and the ultimate factor of education.

Until economic growth is better understood, especially in the context of its effect on living standards, development in China and India will continue to remain haphazard at best. Nothing will alleviate such economic woes as well as a return to the heavy state-intervention that marked each country in the mid-20th century. If the period of neoliberal reform in China and India has taught us anything, it is the lesson of how truly empty economic growth alone can be.

his week, Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky made statements on our policy concerning Iran’s nuclear program that drew severe backlash from critics on all sides of the aisle. In an interview with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, Paul criticized politicians that claim they will never accept a world in which Iran has nuclear weapons.

“The people who say, ‘by golly, we will never stand for that,’ they are voting for war,” he said. When pressed on whether he would ever support

By Brian McCarty a nuclear containStaff Columnist ment policy toward Iran, Senator Paul declined to reveal any potential future positions.

He argued, “Should I announce to Iran, ‘Well, we don’t want you to, but we’ll live with it?’

No that’s a dumb idea to say that you’re going to live with it. However, the opposite is a dumb idea too.” Paul has been harshly criticized for being too lenient toward Iran and unclear in his position. These criticisms are unfair and reflect a troublingly hawkish attitude.

Firstly, Paul has made it quite clear that he strongly opposes

Iran’s attainment of a nuclear weapon. He was repeatedly voted for sanctions and has called for all options to be on the table in our goal to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. He has consistently and adamantly expressed his desire to prevent this. His statements should not be misconstrued to suggest he would like, or is even remotely comfortable with, a nuclear-armed Iran. Paul is merely arguing that it is unwise to proclaim to the world that we will never accept a containment policy should Iran develop a nuclear weapon. By doing this, we are making a commitment to wage war on Iran to destroy its nuclear capabilities. None of us can predict what horrors such a war would unleash. Perhaps the threat to its very existence would goad Iran into using its newly acquired nuclear arsenal, a possibility too terrifying to contemplate. Perhaps we may be forced into the absurd position of initiating a nuclear war with Iran in order to prevent a nuclear war with Iran. What is certain is that a pledge to prevent a nuclear empowered Iran at all costs would force the American people to bear the costs of a destructive preemptive war. Politicians who make these

claims fail to recognize the cost of this type of war is prohibitively high and the sacrifice required too dear. Paul merely recognized that it is unwise to commit a future generation of Americans to carnage and slaughter due to our position on some eventuality we do not yet face.

Through his statements, Paul was critiquing our “line in the sand” foreign policy.

It was most recently on display during the Syria debacle.

President Obama had previously announced that should the Syrian government use chemical weapons, the United States would be compelled to intervene militarily. Unfortunately, this was a claim the American people were unwilling to back up when the time came. When the Syrian government used chemical weapons and the Obama administration began to beat the drums of war as promised, the American people were overwhelmingly loath to support such action. Luckily, President Obama was saved from taking the nation to war by a last-minute diplomatic breakthrough.

Yet, it was clear that our previous statements on the possible use of chemical weapons forced the administration to choose between an unpopular military

engagement and losing face in the international community.

This is a choice we should not have to face as a nation and Paul recognizes that.

Paul merely expressed the belief that we should act in the moment and deal with the situations we are currently facing, rather than commit to an action that has not yet happened. He believes, and rightly so, that the American people should have the opportunity to debate policy as events develop. Should the American people go to war, it should be after a full and free debate given current circumstances; action should not be preordained by injudicious past statements. Rash statements should not be made about potential policy actions that would lead the people impulsively into military conflict.

This is the principle Paul is advocating. Perhaps those who attack him for it should consider whether they are willing to commit to a potentially nuclear future war before they criticize his position.

UConn’s first Freedom Rally

1926 - Queen Elizabeth II 1947 - Iggy Pop 1979 - James Mcavoy 1996 - Jacob Perez

The Daily Campus, Page 5

By Kathleen McWilliams Senior Staff Writer Emulating the music festival turned protest, UConn’s first Freedom Rally was hosted Saturday afternoon by Students for a Sensible Drug Policy.

Sprawled out on South Quad, the sunshine and fresh air brought out many concertgoers and activists to hear the artists Husky Records had lined up for the afternoon as well as the speakers on the drug war and the student activist groups tabling alongside the stage.

Activists from the Title IX Coalition, formed in support of the UConn students who filed a complaint against the university, took pictures of students for their “I, Too, Am UConn” campaign, aimed to represent diversity on campus. Poetic Release, a slam poetry group that often performs themes of social justice, tabled alongside UConn’s chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and Revolution Against Rape.

Two food trucks were on site, serving hamburgers, fries and Caribbean food. “Munchies,” a travelling food truck that serves Southeastern Connecticut and Providence Rhode Island, served made to order burgers, fries and falafel. Jamaica Mi Hungry specialized in serving rices and beans with plantains and other Caribbean cuisine.

As a diversion from the food and music, Wormtown Traders offered a full selection of items for sale including crystals, headbands, jewelry and tapestries. A vendor station next door, Donnelly/Colt Progressive Resources sold a full complement of political posters, bumper stickers and buttons that followed the theme of the Freedom Rally.

Aside from the student activism and delectable food options, the Freedom Rally’s main attraction was the Husky Records musicians and guest speakers. New Haven based musician and UConn student Moshood Balogun, known as Mosh, performed a dynamic set of songs. Using just his voice and a guitar, Mosh sang a diverse array of songs that sounded a lot like Ed Sheeran mixed with Pharell. In an edgy twist, a few of his songs had a brief section in the middle where he employed rap to complete his perfor-

mance.

Rena Surrenders another student band, played edgier music with more metal influences and demonstrated how Husky Records has an artist to please everyone. On the other hand, Brett Steinberg played a set of his own original music that had influences from Coldplay, Keane and the Fray.

The diversity of the performances kept the crowd interested and engaged throughout the afternoon.

During a break from the perfor-

mances, John Dvorak from Cannabis Curriculum spoke to the lack of danger in legalizing use of marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes.

“This is the first ever Freedom Rally, I’m happy to be here. Why are we here today?” Dvorak said. “Some of us are here because we know that medical marijuana is the safest, most effective medicine known to man.

Some of us are here because we love all of those healthy and environmentally friendly products you can make

out of industrial hemp.”

Dvorak added that the public has been brainwashed by political lies about the potency and criminality of marijuana and that it is, in his opinion, time to act.

“We’re making a lot of great progress, 22 states including Connecticut have medical marijuana laws,” Dvorak said.

‘Mad Men’ making the right decision

By Emily Lewson Staff Writer

By Alex Sfrerrazza Staff Writer

One year ago, two bombs detonated at the finish line of the historic Boston Marathon. At 2:49 p.m. on April 15, 2013, the scene went from celebratory to chaos. But from disaster, greatness sprung; participants and crowd members rushed to help the injured, saving lives and demonstrating humanity’s goodness, amidst incredible adversity.

“The tragedy was a leveler that made everyone who witnessed it or felt its aftershocks feel vulnerable and exposed,” an ESPN staff writer wrote.

Now, a year later, the memories remain fresh as many runners line up to race again, in the 118th Boston Marathon. It has become a time of remembrance and a demonstration of perseverance. They run for the 264 injured persons, many of who will never walk the same way, let alone run. They run for the three victims: Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell and Lingzi Lu. They run to demonstrate “Boston Strong.”

One survivor, Jeff Bauman, has become a symbol of Boston’s resilience. He was cheering for his girlfriend, Erin, when the bomb went off at his feet. Carols Arredondo, known as the “cowboy hat guy,” rushed to Bauman’s aid. With the help of Devin Wang, a Boston University junior, and Paul Mitchell, an EMT, Bauman made it to the hospital and his life was saved.

“Everyone that day took care of me. They are the heroes, because they gave me the chance to prove that I—that we—are better than cowards with bombs. That we’re

It’ has been almost a year since Season Six of AMC’s acclaimed drama “Mad Men” wrapped up. All eyes have been focused on the network’s other acclaimed series “Breaking Bad,” as that program raced toward its series finale last fall.

Are Don Draper and comapny up to the task of creating a final season that will rival that of its equally brilliant sister program?

If the season seven premiere is any indication, then the answer is a resounding yes.

“Mad Men’s” season six finale ended on a somewhat important cliffhanger. Don Draper was left at a bar with a decision to make: accept a tempting offer from a woman to return to his former adulterous ways or continue to remain faithful to his wife.

When we first see Don and his wife in the season seven premier, it’s clear that he chose the latter route. It’s an incredibly surprising move from a character who has spent six full seasons failing to make the right decision, despite having multiple chances to set his life straight. That scene, as well as a subsequent one where Don rejects an offer from another woman on a flight, sets the tone for this final season of “Mad Men.” Don is a changed man, and much like the rest of the Sterling Cooper agency, things will never be the same.

Pete Campbell is out in California to help the agencies’ west cost office, far away from his estranged wife and child in New York. The aging psycho-

not broken. And we’re not afraid.

We’re stronger,” Baumann wrote in his new book “Stronger”.

Bauman is the only survivor to lose both legs above the knee. He also spent the longest period in the hospital, 100 nights. Everyday has become a struggle, he wrote, as he feels exhausted after crossing the room. Every night, Bauman feels the pain in his legs, burns and remainder of his body; he often wakes up screaming.

But through it all, Bauman has come out stronger, he said. During his recovery, Erin noted how Bauman jokes to put others at ease.

“But instead of being devastated (which deep down he was), he made jokes, he focused

on the present. The moment he laughed, things didn’t seem so bad,” Baumann’s girlfriend wrote.

“When he teased, in typical Jeff fashion, ‘Don’t worry, E, our kids will have legs,’ I knew I was there to stay.”

Bauman’s personality has undoubtedly been tested and he has overcome the hardest of obstacles, he wrote. With an amazing lack of self-pity, Bauman reaches out to help others. He speaks about his injuries, the event, and how to move forward.

“I don’t mind being a symbol.

Especially for my city,” Bauman wrote. “I do as much as I can, as often as I can.”

logical mess known as Roger Sterling is engaging in various counter-culture living arrangements. Joan who has done her best to increase her role at Sterling Cooper, still finds that despite her best efforts, she’s still very much stuck in a man’s business world. Peggy whose career seemed to be on the rise only a season ago, seems to have hit a roadblock, with her personal life beginning to affect her at the office. Don’s actress wife Meghan is finally on the verge of landing a major television role.

The show’s production values have never been higher. From the extravagant camerawork used in the entrance made by Meghan in California, to stellar performances particularly by Jon Hamm (Don) and Christina Hendricks (Joan), “Mad Men” proves itself to still be among the finest television dramas on the air.

On the downside, Roger’s “reunion” with his daughter was a bit puzzling and did manage to in fact raise more questions than it answered.

The fantastic thing about the “Mad Men” season premiere is that it successfully sets the stage for the final 13 episodes without overloading the audience.

We haven’t even seen Betty or Don’s kids yet, nor do I think we’ve seen the last of Pete’s wife. I’m sure Matthew Weiner has a flurry of surprises in store for us. It’s just a shame that we won’t know how it’ll wrap up until 2015.

Alex.Sferrazza@UConn.edu

I watched “Fight Club” for the first time last week.

The first thing I want to say is, stop with this “Hey man, you’re breaking the first rule of Fight Club by writing this” nonsense. You are not in Fight Club, and even if you were, you would not reveal that you were, by sayng that you know the rules. Stop. The joke is tired.

Other than that though, “Fight Club” was a really well put together film. It was well shot, well-acted and well-edited. But, as always there are the people that will tell you that the book was way better and the movie was way overrated.

All I have to say about that is that it took me 15 years to see the movie, does it look like I have time to read a book? One thing about modern society is that we no longer read. Instead of reading the instruction manual that something comes with, we simply YouTube all of our ‘How To’ needs.

This sort of comfortable and convenient culture that we live in was addressed in the film, and was ultimately the reason that the narrator lost control of his life.

It started out as an addiction to therapy groups­- how ironic. Then it quickly escalated when the narrator met Tyler Durden, who is actually his alternate personality.

Durden was easy to follow. He was confident, strong, attractive and capable of constructing an elaborate network of deindividualized peons to carry out acts of terrorism on the mindless society of marching ants.

Durden recognizes the situation while the narrator simply follows his lead.

This rare psychological disorder is officially named dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. This specific case was a one-way situation where only one of the personalities is fully aware.

This pretty much blew my mind at the end of the movie, though I started to get a feeling about two-thirds of the way through that something like that was going to happen.

One of my only qualms with the movie, is how one would be how he survives shooting himself in the mouth.

I can see why the movie was so popular and has stood the test of time. Other than Brad Pitt being a total smokeshow, the film was well put together.

My favorite part was probably the narration, which I’m hoping was taken from the book, because it had a particularly poetic feel to it, while still disparaging the tendencies of western society.

What I’m Watching Underrated: Too Cute

Are you stressed as the semester is coming to a close? Need a nice distraction? Tune into Animal Planet’s ‘Too Cute.’ It is literally just a show about adorable animals doing adorable things.

Episodes rival the Paws and Relax therapy dogs that make their semesterly appearance at the library.

There are stories about unlikely animal friends that span the species, such as a rhino and a goat.

The show also chronicles the lives of newborn puppies and kittens for their first couple weeks of life.

It’s really just... too cute.

-Kim Halpin

By Matt Gantos Staff Writer It’s a wrap for season five of “Community.” And thank goodness it’s a wrap and not a $5-footlong.

With happy endings all around including the committee saving Greendale from Subway, Jeff and Britta deciding that they were idiots for thinking about getting married and Chang filling his mouth in with diamonds, what more could you ask for?

Most fans will tell you, “Season six!

We want season six!” Dan Harmon’s glorious return for the fifth season of the show hopefully will prove to NBC that “Community” is an asset to the network.

Fans repeatedly butt heads with NBC and all they have learned is that you might not break the wall, but you will sure annoy the people on the other side until they give you what you want.

This season was short, lasting only 13 episodes, about half the length of the first three seasons. This was addressed

by Abed at the end of the finale when he mentions to Annie that he’s sorry he didn’t have time to wish her happy birthday or Christmas or Halloween or any other traditional holidays. “But maybe next year,” Abed said, giving a small glimmer of hope that NBC would renew the show for a sixth season, and that the creators are at least trying.

Since at least the end of season three, fans have been campaigning for “Six seasons and a movie.” The slogan is catchy and highlights the right length of content for a respectable show that hasn’t overstayed its welcome.

The final episode was well put together and crammed full of witty jokes.

The remaining core group, minus Shirley, ventures into a secret section of Greendale that had been hidden since the ‘70s to find a rumored treasure and save the school from being sold to Subway.

There were plenty of ‘70s references, which made it questionable that the writers would leave the two characters to represent the older generation out of this

plot line. There was also a great deal of fourth wall breaking thanks to Abed’s large amount of screen time.

Harmon and the writers like to use Abed to make jabs at NBC and sitcom stereotypes. At one point Abed accuses Jeff and Britta of trying to spin-off into a couples show by getting married, rattling off a hysterical list of possibilities for the show, all equally awful.

NBC’s humor would be tested once again before the end of the end of the episode. The very final bit during the credits was a group of teasers for fake NBC shows like, Intensive Karen, Mr. Egypt and Captain Cook. At the end it says, “Coming this Summer or Fall, or possibly even this Winter. Depends on what fails!” with a giant NBC peacock in the background.

Guess we’ll all just have to wait and see. NBC holds all the cards.

By Jingyuan Fu Campus Correspondent Though it’s certainly gotten better in recent years, most television programs still suffer from unequal gender representation. Women have a presence on most shows, but far too often they are relegated to supporting roles and are not around for long enough to have a substantial impact on.

However, the Canadian series “Orphan Black” has subverted this paradigm by having a diverse ensemble of female characters who are central to the plot.

The show debuted last spring, offering a highly inventive take on the rather tired science fiction idea of cloning. British petty criminal Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) encounters a woman who looks exactly like her in a train station shortly before the woman commits suicide.

While trying to steal the dead woman’s identity, Sarah discovers others who also look exactly like her and through the course of 10 episodes becomes embroiled in a mass conspiracy involving religious extremists, a scientific institution that is far too ambitious for its own good and the family and friends of the clones.

The last episode of season one consisted of a rapid fire series of cliffhangers: scientist clone Cosima revealed that she may be suffering from a fatal illness and discovered that the clones are considered the intellectual property of their

Canadian series, “Orphan Black,” draws its strength from lead actresses, who take a central role in the plot.

creators. Then the viewers learned that Alison’s monitor was her husband Donnie after all and finally Sarah returned home after an adventure to realize that someone had taken her daughter Kira.

The first episode of season two deals with the immediate fallout. It sends the audience in multiple directions as different characters try to figure out how to proceed.

If this episode does have a flaw, it’s that the viewers gets the sense that the show may soon collapse under the weight of its own plot.

Showrunners Graeme Manson and John Fawcett had kept Season One relatively straightforward despite all its twists

and turns, but now that the core discoveries are over, the show is starting to delve into its own mythology. This is unfortunately the trap that a lot of high concept shows fall into—world building seems like a good idea on paper, but what viewers have seen of the nebulously evil organizations in “Orphan Black” has not been very interesting.

As always, “Orphan Black’s” main strengths come from its characters. The incredible ability of lead actress Tatiana Maslany to play a variety of different people in a variety of situations has already become the stuff of legend, and she only gets better in the second season. More intricate scenar-

ios take place—clones on the run, clones pretending to be each other, and even a musical comedy segment where Alison sings and dances with a mop. The supporting cast is still stellar, though in this first episode they are given less to work with than Maslany; Jordan Gavaris’ turn as Sarah’s foster brother Felix in particular continues to be the heart of the show. If “Orphan Black” can continue to create intimate, character-driven stories, then its second season will be every bit as enjoyable as the previous one, if not better.

Before it began to spiral downhill into a giant pile of burning garbage, ‘Dexter’ was one of my favorite shows. The first few seasons were incredible, but were unfortunately followed by formulaic nonsense filled with cheap thrills and forced plot developments.

What I always found interesting about the show was the way it depicted the world.

According to “Dexter”, there is more evil existing in the world than most people would like to believe. While at first this intrigued me, I found that eventually it the show began to kind of push the idea too far.

One of the show’s underlying themes was how you never really know someone. People have their secrets; some even live dual lives. The example the show focuses on is how serial killers operate in complete secrecy while living normal everyday lives, shielding themselves from suspicion.

While this may be true, the show began to take it too far.

As Dexter began to hunt down a different killer each week, it eventually turned into something else. The world was no longer a place where killers and monsters blended into the public eye, but rather it became a strange world with only two kinds of people– serial killers and the people who stop serial killers. I’m not sure if I buy into this bleak depiction of our society, but it certainly is scary to imagine.

The show did have some real life lessons about safety and protection. As we watched serial killers hunt their prey, it was amazing to see how easy it was to kidnap and assault innocent people in public. First, do not walk alone at night in strange places. Everyone has heard this before, but it still happens.

Second, if you must walk alone, don’t walk alone under the influence. Third, be careful what kind of information you make visible to strangers. I’m not just talking about monitoring your Facebook posts for private information.

There was an episode where a serial killer simply looked at the back of an SUV to find a bumper sticker of family stick figures with names. All he had to do after that is approach the children and say the parent’s names in order to abduct them. Don’t make it simple for somebody to abduct you or your family.

Finally, be careful who you date or become involved with.

Everyone may seem nice and trustworthy at first, but you unfortunately cannot really trust anyone too soon. Avoid being alone with people you do not know that. This may sound paranoid, but it happened on the show and can happen in real life. It does not take too much effort to gain someone’s trust to take them out on a date alone somewhere isolated from others where you can easily be abducted. I don’t mean to scare people off from of dating, but you should always be careful. “Dexter” may just be a show, but unfortunately there are sick people out there.

Fast fashion: cultural problem or savior?

» FASHION

Quality over quantity VS. Increasing availability

By Alexandra Bell Campus Correspondent

Is there anything nicer than the warm security of a cotton or cashmere sweater, the scent of a pair of lovingly made leather shoes or the heavenly whisper of a pure silk shirt against the skin. The fact is, no cheap product could ever take the place of an article of truly well made clothing. We live in a generation in which shallow aesthetic is prized over deep and lasting quality. We accept the unsavory and empty sensations of polyester and rayon, giving up the almost spiritual experience of untainted materials for the promise of sharing some cheap version of high fashion trends. What we end up with is a game of pretend. We dance around in the plastic equivalent of what the big kids wear until we have convinced ourselves of the fantasy.

Our parents and grandparents still check the tags as they shop, searching in desperation and disgust for a standard of quality which is now being slowly and mercilessly dragged into a pit of cultural despair. It is ironic that this generation is hung up on the idea of keeping up with new styles and trends, when we

have not come up with anything new or different enough to warrant the trading of style for styles. Some would argue that giving up our sense of material dignity in favor of more materials is a worthy bargain. Unfortunately, this tradeoff only causes us to lose our once deep appreciation of what we wear, and put in its place a strange detachment from our own attire.

Clothing is more than a shroud. It is more than a mask to help us blend into the backdrop of our social environment. It is a tool with which to express, expose and explain. Our clothing is one of the major landmarks of each little twitch in our social and personal fabric. If this, our short thread within that fabric, is not made to last, then how can we expect to be visualized and appreciated by the next string in the tapestry? The materials with which we surround ourselves are a part of us, whether we like it or not. If it is our desire to be taken seriously as people of quality, it follows that we must distance ourselves from the imminently dumpster-destined and once again seek the warm embrace of steadfast quality.

Perhaps one of the foremost changes in the fashion industry in recent years has been the rise of fast fashion merchants like H&M and Express. Though fast fashion certainly has its problems, as Alexandra outlines, it also has incredible benefits. For better or worse (and often both), fast fashion has become a major part of the fashion market and the industry as a whole, and it brings its own unique benefits.

First and foremost, fast fashion outlets remediate the isolation felt by mainstream consumers as a result of the fashion industry’s exclusivity. The fashion industry actually thrives on being inaccessible to most of the world’s consumer population, marketing the most carefully-made, detail-oriented designs to the world’s wealthiest and most selective ASHLEY MAHER/The Daily Campus consumers. This was a Stores that offer fast, cheap fashion, such as H&M, help bring fashion trends to more shoppers; but much more acceptable they can lack the quality of higher priced pieces. phenomenon before the

rise of social media, which has since allowed consumers a much greater sense of access to the goings-on in the fashion world, and they now want in. Fast fashion gives consumers a way to access these trends.

Furthermore, while designers can achieve wide acclaim marketing to this small population, they are becoming aware of the untapped resource that the general public can provide. By offering small collections, or even just their influences, to the likes of Target and H&M, they can give the public a small, controlled taste of their work with the hopes of increasing public interest.

Finally, the low prices of fast-fashion clothing and the quick turnover rates of fashion trends are a match made in heaven. Though many pieces from designer collections are designed to accommodate multiple looks and trends for future years, a large majority of them embody a designer’s of-the-moment take on a fleeting industry-wide trend.

Fast fashion allows consumers to experiment with these trends while paying an appropriate cost-per-wear for the trendy garment.

Celeb Coachella fashion Bid, Dick, bid: ‘Dick and Jane’ artworks for sale borders on offensive

By Ellie Hudd Campus Correspondent

The start of the Coachella music festival this past weekend has brought an onslaught of celebrity sightings and pictures. Aside from the lineup of musicians performing, many actors, models and other famous faces frequent the Indio, Calif. festival each year. Though the festival itself promotes a laid-back atmosphere, the general sartorial vibe is actually somewhat strict; there is a certain way to dress for Coachella, and many individual styles, good and bad, happens within that spectrum. To many, Coachella is a fashion writer’s dream, with enough unique variations on the desert-chic and flower child looks that readers will never get bored.

In the festival’s recent past, however, several celebrities’ ensembles have veered into controversial and potentially offensive territory.

Perhaps most controversial this year is Vanessa Hudgens. Hudgens is known for embracing a bohemian, flower-child look year-round, so if she wants to really dress up for Coachella, she usually feels the need to up her game. This year, however, many people of the Islamic faith were offended by one of her Coachella looks, which was posted online and quickly circulated the web. Hudgens wore a Burqa like headscarf, which covered her entire face except her eyes. The garment is worn by many Muslim women to display modesty in the public sphere. Hudgens paired the headdress with octagonal sunglasses, appearing to attempt a fashion statement with the garment. What’s more, while the hijab is meant as a cultural display of modesty (and one often maligned and misunderstood, at that), Hudgens wore the hijab only on her head, pairing it with a crop top and Daisy Dukes.

Another celebrity courting controversy is Selena

Gomez. Gomez, along with reality TV stars Kendall and Kylie Jenner, was seen at Coachella sporting clothes similar to Hudgens’ along with a bindi. The bindi, a jewel worn on the foreheads of Indian women, is an important part of Hindu culture as well as Indian culture in general. The bindi is traditionally worn on the sixth chakra, which represents the “third eye” and has connotations of wisdom. Hudgens also wore a bindi at another point during the festival, later taking to Instagram to show off what she called her “bindi tan line.”

One other culturally appropriative element worth addressing is the co-opting of the Romani style and heritage. The Romani people are commonly referred to as “gypsies,” though this is now widely known to be an ethnic slur. Though much of the sartorial and cultural influence at Coachella is taken from musical festivals like Woodstock and bohemian culture, modern music festival culture can be appropriative of Romani heritage as well, particularly in their styles of dress and in the mistaken idea that the freedom of movement in play at a music festival is comparable to the often forced nomadic lifestyle of the Romani people.

The Romani ethnic group is already very maligned, misunderstood and misrepresented, and co-opting their culture for the sake of festival fashion or the “festival mindset” can contribute to this phenomenon.

As social media allows stars and their behavior to reach a wider audience, many members of this audience are beginning to call out their favorite celebrities for this behavior. Hopefully, this unfortunate celebrity trend can lead to a larger awareness of the offensive aspects of cultural appropriation as a whole.

Exhibit recreates Warhol’s 1964 World’s Fair mural NEW YORK (AP) — Even for a 1964 New York World’s Fair that celebrated “The World of Tomorrow,” Andy Warhol may have been ahead of his time.

His monumental piece commissioned specifically for the fair — a mural depicting mug shots of the New York Police Department’s 13 most-wanted criminals — was deemed too edgy for the family friendly event and was painted over just before opening day.

Now, 50 years later, the work is the focus of a museum exhibition being staged on the very fairgrounds where the pop-art provocateur was censored.

“There’s no question Warhol was not interested in the notion of a family friendly fair,” said Larissa Harris, the exhibition’s curator.

“It’s possible that he understood the concept very clearly, but he did this absolutely intentionally.”

The exhibition, “13 Most Wanted Men: Andy Warhol and the 1964 World’s Fair,” opens

April 27 at the Queens Museum in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

It includes never-before-shown archival documents and materials, including the artist’s letter agreeing to the paint-over and the NYPD mug shot booklet.

Warhol was one of 10 artists commissioned by famed architect Philip Johnson to create 20-footby-20-foot artworks for the outside of the New York State Pavilion’s Circarama theater.

Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, who was seeking the Republican presidential nomination at the time, gave the order to paint over Warhol’s mural. The stated reason, according to Johnson and others, was because seven of the 13 criminals were Italians and he didn’t want to risk alienating his Italian constituencies, Harris said.

“It does seem like an incredibly bold step,” said Nicholas Chambers, a curator at The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, which is collaborating on the

exhibition. “In retrospect, it seems that was the only possible outcome — that it had to be censored.”

According to his autobiography, Warhol believed the work was whitewashed “because of some political thing I never understood.”

Warhol offered another work as a replacement — 25 identical portraits arranged in a grid of the fair’s controversial head Robert Moses — but it was rejected by Johnson as inappropriate.

Warhol never made another public work.

The documents show that Warhol agreed to have the mug shot mural painted over in silver.

(He was already producing paintings that had large silver blank panels.) Removing it wasn’t an option because it would have ruined Johnson’s vision for the building’s exterior that called for a combination of black-and-white and colored pieces.

This photo provided by Brookline Auction Gallery of Brookline, N.H., shows a watercolor by Robert Childress and photos of the model used to paint it. The portrait is of Dick of the Dick and Jane series of books that helped teach generations of children to read.

BROOKLINE, N.H. (AP) — In the portrait, the little boy’s blue eyes twinkle as he looks straight ahead. His apple cheeks shine. There’s a gap in his teeth, and his reddishbrown hair is just slightly tousled. He’s an All-American boy.

He’s Dick, of the illustrated “Dick and Jane” series that helped teach generations to read from the 1930s to the 1970s.

He’s also Nancy Childress’ childhood neighbor and the model for the drawing by her father, Robert Childress, that along with Jane, Sally, Spot and others brought the pages of the reader to life.

Nancy Childress is selling her father’s artwork at auction in New Hampshire at the end of April. Along with Dick, there are other portraits, blackand-white drawings of John F. and Jackie Kennedy and offerings from his collection of pastel paintings of college buildings around the country.

“As an artist, there were many illustrators during the time my father was working,” said Nancy Childress, who lives in Gilmanton. “This was the day of the illustrator. What’s different about my

father’s illustrations is that most could either do landscape or people, and he had the uncanny ability to do both equally well.”

Childress’ realism will remind the viewer immediately of Norman Rockwell’s illustrations and that’s not a complete coincidence: The two were friends.

Nancy Childress said her father, who retired to Warner and died in 1983, never took an art class, learning to paint with a set given to him as a gift from an aunt and uncle before he was 10. And he didn’t just use the neighbor boy as a model for the series that he illustrated during the 1950s and ‘60s: Nancy was Sally, her sister Susan became Jane and their mother was also one of Robert Childress’ inspirations.

“We loved it,” she said.

“My sister and I loved getting into costumes. And he would always include us. He would ask us, ‘What do you think of this? Is it too green? Is it too blue?’ But the opinion that mattered was my mother’s.”

Born in South Carolina, Childress was living in Ithaca, N.Y., when he was commissioned to paint a portrait of H.E. Babcock, a former chair-

man of the board for Cornell University. Through his connection with Babcock, he met Duncan Hines, the home food entrepreneur whose cakes and other products still stock grocery shelves. Childress painted the portrait of Hines that would adorn his product packaging and Childress launched a career in advertising.

He moved the family to Old Saybrook, Conn., where Childress painted ads for Coca-Cola, Mobil, Wonder Bread and the Campbell Soup Co., among others. Some of the ads are included in the auction.

Auctioneer Ronald Pelletier of Brookline Auction Gallery said estimates for the roughly 50 lots of Childress art run from $100 to $2,000 and because it is an “absolute auction” there is no reserve bid, meaning the lowest bid wins.

He said there is a market for original art, but he couldn’t predict how the Childress collections would fare.

He is most struck by how multidisciplined Childress was.

“I mean, the man could work in any medium,” he said.

The live online auction will be held April 30.

Duggan comes up big in extra innings win Men's track wins New England Challenge

By Dan Madigan Campus Correspondent As game one of Friday’s doubleheader against American Athletic Conference rival Temple went into extra innings, the Huskies became aware of how crucial a win would be in order to move up in the AAC standings and improve their seeding in next month’s AAC tournament.

Pitcher Lauren Duggan rose to the occasion and came through with her best performance all season.

The junior from Norwood, Mass went the distance, scattering six hits over 10 innings. She allowed four runs, but only two were earned, as she managed to work around three errors from shortstop Lexi Gifford.

After allowing one run in the

first, third, fourth and seventh, Duggan saved her best innings for last, shutting out Temple in the last three innings and only allowing one hit while fanning three. Coach Karen Mullins was thrilled with Duggan’s gutsy performance.

“I was really pleased, I felt like (Duggan) got stronger as the game went on, and that was good to see,” Coach Mullins said. “She hung in there and I think that everybody rallied around her.”

Duggan’s stellar performance gave the Huskies their 11th win of the season and their first conference win since they beat Memphis twice in Storrs on March 29.

Unfortunately, UConn was unable to build off their momentum in game two, as they lost to the Owls 4-2. Kayla Doty and Alyson Ambler were unable to silence the

Temple bats as the Huskies lost their 30th game of the season.

In the final game on Sunday, Duggan was once again in the circle and she did not disappoint.

Duggan threw a complete game, striking out six and walking four while only surrendering three runs.

Unfortunately, she did not receive sufficient offensive support, as UConn scored their only two runs on a home run from Heather Fyfe in the bottom of the second.

Duggan’s 1-1 weekend gave her a 7-18 record on the season in 29 appearances.

Overall, she has thrown a team high 12 complete games and has the lowest ERA while accounting for nearly half of the team’s 269.2 innings pitched.

By Matt Kren Campus Correspondent Over the weekend, the UConn men’s track and field team competed in their final home meet, the New England Challenge.

UConn won the meet with 14 first place finishes, totaling 111 points which was more than enough to beat second place Southern Connecticut State with 60, and third place University of Rhode Island which amassed 23. Senior Captain Darnell Cummings and Freshman Patrick Hayes led the way and finished first and second, respectively, in both the 100 meter and 200 meter dash.

The 400, 800, 1500 and 5000 meter races were all won by the Huskies as sophomore Robert

Rhodes captured first in the 400, senior Paul DeSalvo finished first in the 800. Junior Phillip Caldwell won in the 1500 and finally freshman Ned Wilson in the 5000 meter. Following the same trend, both relay events were won by the Huskies as the 4x100m team of freshman Chinedu Amonu, senior Darnell Cummings, freshman Patrick Hayes and sophomore Robert Hovanec posted a winning time of 41.38. The 4x400m team of freshman Chinedu Amonu, sophomore Robert Hovanec, sophomore Aaeron Sykes and sophomore Robert Rhodes won first place with the time of 3:17.08.

In the field events, five different Huskies captured first place.

Junior Brian Eilers took first in

the javelin throw with a throw of 63.71 meter. Sophomore Harley Lacroix and sophomore John Landis finished first and second in the long jump, while freshman Craig Hunter won the pole vault. The other two first place finishes were grabbed by Senior captain Eric Masington in the discus throw, followed by freshman Matthew Graziano and senior Jesse Chapman in second and fourth, while junior Tobey Belton finished first in the high jump.

Next week the huskies will be traveling to Philadelphia to compete in the Penn Relays, a three-day event which features many of the top teams in the Northeast.

Goalkeeper in Gabon dies Mets avoid sweep with 14-inning win over Braves after being kicked in head LIBREVILLE, Gabon (AP) — A team official says a goalkeeper has died after being kicked in the head during a championship tournament match in the West African country of Gabon.

Sylvain Azougoui of the AC Bongoville soccer club had just stopped a shot on goal, but the attacker lost his balance on the wet grass and stepped on the goalkeeper's head.

The team official said the

30-year-old from Benin died on the way to the hospital Sunday. The official would only speak on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

The game against Centre Mberi Sportif was played in Bongoville, about 430 miles (700 kilometers) south of Gabon's capital of Libreville, as part of the country's championship tournament.

NEW YORK (AP) — With a little more help from his defense, David Hale could have dominated. Instead, the Atlanta Braves fumbled away a chance for a road sweep against an NL East rival.

Slumping newcomer Curtis Granderson hit a sacrifice fly in the 14th inning and the New York Mets outlasted Atlanta 4-3 on Sunday to prevent a threegame whitewash.

"You play that long you want to win, obviously. So yeah, that's rough, but it's part of it," left fielder Justin Upton said.

"Something had to give and it gave their way. Nothing you can

do about it."

David Wright had four hits and New York took advantage of three early errors by Atlanta, which had won seven of eight.

"You want to go out and play good defense every day and when we don't, obviously, we take that to heart," said Upton, who botched a flyball in the first. "It's tough to go out and be perfect every day."

Hale wriggled out of basesloaded jams in the second and sixth — both after errors by second baseman Dan Uggla. The rookie was making his second straight start against the Mets and pitching for the first time in

10 days because his scheduled outing Tuesday in Philadelphia was rained out.

Hale was long gone when Kirk Nieuwenhuis drew a leadoff walk from Gus Schlosser (0-1) and advanced on Ruben Tejada's sacrifice bunt. Eric Young Jr. was intentionally walked to bring up Granderson, hitless in his last 16 at-bats and stuck in a 4-for-44 slide that's dropped his average to .127.

"In that situation, that was the right thing to do," Schlosser said.

The runners moved up on a

wild pitch, and Granderson lifted the next delivery into medium left field. Nieuwenhuis slid home ahead of Upton's throw.

"Terrible pitch. Elevated.

That's what he's trying to do right there, and I let him do it," Schlosser said. "It's a hard pill to swallow."

Granderson went 0 for 6 with an error and was booed all afternoon. But he turned those jeers to cheers at the end of a long day.

UConn junior Wayne Harrell squared off against USF’s Roberto Cid, the #43 ranked singles player in the nation, in the No. 1 singles match. Going into the match, Harrell was looking for his 16th singles match win of the season.

Harrell was able to manage just three games, however, as Cid sealed a straight-sets victory 6-1, 6-2.

Senior Ryan Carr managed just one game in his No. 3 singles match against USF’s Sasha Gozun, losing the contest 6-0, 6-1. Carr and Harrell also teamed up to face Gozun and Cid in the #1 doubles match. With the Bulls leading by six games to five, play was stopped and the match was declared unfinished.

In the No. 2 singles match, UConn junior Jacob Spreyer dropped the first set to USF’s Oliver Pramming 2-6. Spreyer stayed on level terms with his opponent until 2-2 in the second set, when play was stopped.

The Huskies finish the 2013-14 season with an 8-12 record on the year. This season was the debut of head coach Michael Louis, a UConn alumnus who previously coached at the University of Hartford. With Carr as the only senior on the team this year, all of UConn’s remaining players from this season’s lineup are expected to return for the upcoming season.

Following a defeat to Louisville, the Huskies rebounded to defeat Cincinnati 17-6 Saturday afternoon. UConn improved their overall record to 9-6 and to 4-2 in Big East games. Coach Katie Woods praised the team for their bounce back. “It’s extremely important to follow a loss with such good effort. We refocused, remembered to play like us and put ourselves in a position to win,” Woods said.

UConn got ahead early with a goal by senior Lauren Kahn.

Cincinnati was able to tie the game, but UConn senior Kacey Pippitt scored two quick goals to give the Huskies a lead that would hold for the rest of the game. Kahn would go on to score another goal

in the first half and Pippitt finished with five points for the game.

UConn was able to keep momentum in the second half.

Jacqueline Jordan and Lauren Kahn got the second half going with two goals to bring the score to 10-4. Kahn would finish the game with five goals, bringing her season total to 32, second on the team.

The Huskies play their last game in the regular season against Villanova next Saturday afternoon.

Women's tennis loses at conference championship

By Eugene Joh Campus Correspondent The UConn women’s tennis team concluded their season this past Thursday, losing to the University of Cincinnati Bearcats 4-1 in their opening match of the American Athletic Conference Championships.

Senior Lucy Nutting got the sole point for the Huskies against the Bearcats, winning her No. 4 singles match against Cincinnati’s Katya Bure. Nutting would lose just three games in that match, winning it 6-2, 6-1.

Sophomore Srna Stosljevic forced a tiebreak in her No. 1 singles match against Kelly Poggensee-Wei, before losing the first set 6-7. Poggensee-Wei opened up a two-break advantage in the second however, taking the match 7-6, 6-2.

Freshman Emma Alderman

dropped the first set of the No. 2 singles match to Cincinnati’s Ashleigh Witte, getting blanked 0-6. Alderman kept the match closer in the second set, but ultimately dropped the match to Witte, 0-6, 4-6.

Cincinnati and UConn met once before this season, contesting a dual meet on Feb. 28. The Bearcats were also victorious in that matchup, winning five of six singles matches and two of three doubles matches for a 6-1 victory.

The Huskies finish the 201314 season with an 8-12 record.

The season marked head coach Glenn Marshall’s 21st season at UConn. Three seniors, Nutting, Jennifer Learmonth and Marie Gargiulio, played their last matches for UConn in the tournament meet.

Walker scores 20, but Heat edge Bobcats MIAMI (AP) — Each of the last two Miami championship runs has been highlighted by moments where a sharpshooter enters a game and immediately provides a surprise spark.

James Jones got his turn Sunday.

And the lift he brought, combined with the expected playoff showings from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, have the Heat off and running in these playoffs.

James scored 27 points, Wade added 23 and the Heat rode two big runs — one late in the first half, the other down the stretch — to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 99-88 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference firstround series. Miami trailed for much of the first half, but rallied and has now topped Charlotte 17 straight times.

"We were flat to start," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "I think our guys were just anxious."

Game 2 of the best-of-sev-

en series is Wednesday. Al Jefferson will be getting plenty of treatment until then.

Kemba Walker scored 20 points for the Bobcats, who started fast behind Jefferson — who was diagnosed with a strained left plantar fascia after a misstep in the first quarter, and got a pair of injections just to continue playing.

"We did some really good things today," Walker said.

"We just have to keep executing throughout the game. We can't get rattled."

Jefferson still finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds — yet in what can't be a real exciting sign for Charlotte, he left the arena in a walking boot.

"Just got to suck it up, man," said Jefferson, who confessed that he's no fan of needles but insisted he doesn't plan on sitting out.

Gary Neal scored 17 and Josh McRoberts added 15 for Charlotte, which shot only 12 free throws compared to 26 by

Miami, and allowed the Heat to turn their 15 turnovers into 20 points.

"If we're going to have 15 turnovers, we're not going to win," Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said.

Miami sealed it with an 18-4 run in the fourth, all but three of those points coming with James getting a rest. Luke Ridnour made a high-arcing baseline jumper over Ray Allen with 10:29 left to get Charlotte within 74-69.

That's when James got a breather. He returned to breathing room.

Chris Andersen had a tip-in for a 12-point lead, Wade — who shot 10 for 16 — made a 3-pointer as the shot clock was winding down with 6:50 left to make it 85-70, and another score by Andersen pushed the margin to 17.

With that, Game 1 was secure.

"That group that was in once I took that break at the

10-minute mark in the fourth quarter, they just bumped the lead," James said. "Obviously, to have three Hall of Famers in the game when I'm out of the game, CB, D-Wade and Ray ... that was bigtime."

So was Jones.

He didn't play in the first half of any playoff game last season and was out of the rotation much of this year. But when he checked in with 4:19 left in AP the half Sunday, Miami led 35-34. Charlotte Bobcats' Kemba Walker (15) and Miami Heat's LeBron James (6) eye a loose ball during the "Hell of a first half in Game 1 of an opening-round NBA basketball playoff series, Sunday, April 20, 2014, in Miami. spark," Wade 19-2 run.

Sterling crashed home a long-range strike in the fourth minute before setting up Suarez in the 11th minute for his 12th goal against Norwich in their last five meetings.

After Gary Hooper cut the deficit in the 54th, Sterling re-established Liverpool's two-goal lead after weaving his way through Norwich's defense before his shot looped over goalkeeper John Ruddy thanks to a deflection.

Robert Snodgrass' 77th-minute header set up a tense finish but Liverpool held on to further distance itself from Chelsea, which lost 2-1 to Sunderland on Saturday. Liverpool is nine points ahead of third-placed Manchester City, which has two games in hand.

It is promising to be a tighter race for the final Champions League spot, with fourth-place Arsenal and Everton winning to leave them separated by one point.

Lukas Podolski scored twice in Arsenal's 3-0 victory at Hull, and Everton downed Manchester United 2-0 on first-half goals by Leighton Baines and Kevin Mirallas.

The outcome marked another

bad day for United manager David Moyes, who returned to the club he coached for 11 years.

LONDON (AP) — Liverpool assured its return to the Champions League on Sunday, but a much bigger prize is just around the corner.

What was looking like a gripping finale to the Premier League title race is starting to turn into a procession for the Reds after they beat Norwich 3-2 to move five points ahead of Chelsea with three matches remaining.

A look at play across Europe's top leagues as the end of the season approaches:

___ ENGLAND A first English championship in 24 years is within Liverpool's grasp after the win at Norwich, which was led by Raheem Sterling's two goals and the 30th of the season by Luis Suarez.

An 11th straight league win also ensured that the Reds will return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2009-10 season.

Down 2-0 to Avs, Wild search for momentum

AP

Gabriel Landeskog, left, celebrates his goal with Paul Stastny, right, and Nathan MacKinnon during Game 2 of Colorado's series with Minnesota. The Avalance lead 2-0.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Nathan MacKinnon and his equally skilled Colorado linemates Gabe Landeskog and Paul Stastny were too fast for Minnesota in the first two games.

In losing twice to the Avalanche, the Wild found themselves flat-footed at the wrong times and letting their young, potent opponent dictate the pace and flow.

So how to change the direction of the series? Going home is a good place to start.

After MacKinnon, Landeskog and Stastny combined for four goals and six assists Saturday in Game 2, the Wild will now have the benefit of the last change in Game 3.

That means coach Mike Yeo can match Matt Cooke, Erik Haula and Nino Niederreiter with the MacKinnon express, a mix of grit and speed that could help the Wild stem the tide a bit.

"I'm a third-line player for a reason and I feel like that's the best way I'm able to contribute," Cooke said Sunday. He added: "Obviously I want that matchup."

Here are five more things to know about the series as it shifts Monday for Game 3: WHO'S IN WILD NET?: The

Wild survived injury and illness involving their top three goalies this season, surging into the playoffs behind fourth option Ilya Bryzgalov. But Bryzgalov was pulled from Game 2 in the second period. Darcy Kuemper entered and stopped all 14 shots he faced.

Asked after practice Sunday who will get the assignment, Yeo was glib.

"Yes, we will," the coach said, smiling.

Bryzgalov has plenty of past postseason experience with Philadelphia, Phoenix and Anaheim, but that includes plenty of goals given up, too.

"If that were what we were choose to do it would be because, first off, he made some big saves in the game. I don't think we should forget about that. We weren't playing our game in front of him. And this is a guy who's played a lot of good hockey for us," Yeo said.

Kuemper's performances in January and February are another reason the Wild were able to make it this far. He slumped a bit in late March and then suffered a concussion. Kuemper said he knocked the rust off in practice last week and felt in full rhythm Saturday in his first action in three weeks.

SPAIN Celta Vigo outclassed Almeria, winning 4-2 as forward Manuel "Nolito" Agudo scored two goals and set up another to keep the hosts in the Spanish league's relegation zone.

Defender Paulao scored an own-goal and made a mistake that led to another as Real Betis slumped to a 3-1 defeat at Rayo Vallecano to sit on the brink of relegation, 10 points from safety with four games to go.

FRANCE Dimitar Berbatov helped Monaco gain a Champions League spot with a 1-0 win over Nice in the French league.

Berbatov chipped past goalkeeper David Ospina in the fifth minute for the only goal to help Monavo rebound from a 3-1 extra-time loss to Guingamp in the French Cup semifinals Wednesday.

Monaco consolidated second place in the league and moved within seven points of leader Paris Saint-Germain, which has a game in hand.

Ajaccio was relegated after losing 2-1 at Bastia. Guingamp is under the threat of relegation after losing 5-1 at Bordeaux to lie two points above Sochaux, which won 1-0 at Reims to keep its safety hopes alive.

Valenciennes' hopes of avoiding relegation took a hit with a 6-2 loss to Nantes.

GERMANY Bayer Leverkusen reclaimed fourth place in the Bundesliga with a 4-1 with at relegationthreatened Nuremberg, and Stuttgart eased its relegation fears with a 3-1 win over Schalke.

In Nuremberg, Emir Spahic opened the scoring with Leverkusen's first shot on target in the 16th. Marvin Plattenhardt tied it eight minutes later with a direct free kick from 25 yards.

Omer Toprak set up Sebastian Boenisch for Leverkusen's second goal in the 48th, and Heung-min Son ran the length of the field after a Nuremberg corner for Spahic to seal the win with 10 minutes remaining.

Roberto Hilbert added another goal in the 87th for Leverkusen, which reclaimed the last Champions League qualification spot from Wolfsburg.

Martin Harnik scored twice for Stuttgart to move four points in front of Hamburger SV in the relegation playoff place.

Anna, Yankees top Rays in 12 innings ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Dean Anna wasn't nervous during a key at-bat in extra innings. He was enjoying it.

Anna drew a bases-loaded walk on a full-count pitch with two outs in the 12th inning and Carlos Beltran followed with a two-run single as the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 on Sunday.

"I was having fun," Anna

said. "Baseball is all about moments, and that was a moment right there."

Yangervis Solarte was walked by Heath Bell (0-1) to open the 12th. After failing twice to bunt against C.J. Riefenhauser, Brett Gardner reached on a fielder's choice and went to third on Brian McCann's two-out single.

Jacoby Ellsbury was intentionally walked before Anna checked his swing to com-

plete an eight-pitch at-bat and drive in the go-ahead run.

"Just a tremendous at-bat," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Tough situation."

Beltran had his hit off Josh Leuke before Alfonso Soriano added an RBI single that made it 5-1.

Preston Claiborne (1-0) went two scoreless innings for the Yankees.

The teams split a wild four-game series. After the

Yankees beat David Price and the Rays 10-2 in Thursday's opener, Tampa Bay rebounded for 11-5 and 16-1 victories Friday and Saturday.

Derek Jeter opened the 11th with a single off Bell. Ichiro Suzuki pinch-ran for Jeter and stole second with one out, but Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon challenged the call and after a 2 minute, 4 second delay the umpires changed the close call to out.

winning run on third base, sophomore centerfielder Jack Sundberg popped out, ending the inning in anticlimactic fashion.

Penders said missed opportunities like Sundberg’s and others have been crippling UConn’s offensive strength and efficiency.

“It’s been abysmal how we’ve hit with runners in scoring position,” Penders said. “And if I had an answer as to how we can improve that we would have done it a while ago, because it’s been going on for weeks now and it’s really difficult and frustrating to watch.”

Despite a terrific performance from redshirt junior pitcher David Mahoney in relief, the Huskies ended up falling 7-4 after the Owls posted a three-run top of the 14th, concluding a game that lasted just over four-and-a-half hours.

The same offensive deficiencies that plagued UConn on Friday continued into Saturday, a game in which the Huskies scored just two runs and chalked up an uncharacteristic four errors.

Kay, a left hander, lasted 6.2 frames and allowed three earned runs against six strikeouts in his fifth start of the season, drawing the loss largely because of a lack of run support.

“I thought Anthony gave us a really good outing [Saturday],” head coach Jim Penders said. “[Temple] hit the ball hard off of

him early, and I thought he made better pitches the longer he went.

He really battled.”

Penders said Kay did an admirable job of preventing runners who got on base because of a UConn error from crossing home plate, and that he proved capable of digging his own defense out of error-fueled jams.

“He did a really good job of leaving runners our defense allowed to get on base to move with a couple of errors,” Penders said. “We had a first and third in the fifth (inning), one out, and he had a big hold there. I thought he made some pitches when he absolutely had to, and I thought he deserved a better effort and better performance from our defense.”

The top of UConn’s order, comprised of senior shortstop Tom Verdi and Daniello, went 0-for-9 in Saturday’s game, with Daniello getting on base just once after being walked in the bottom of the ninth inning.

“You’ve got to have your table setters set the table,” Penders said.

UConn’s offense was sparse once again on Saturday and runs were few and far between, with one runner crossing the plate in both the bottom of the third and bottom of the eighth in the 6-2 loss.

Davey continued to be one of the lone bright spots in the Huskies’ order on Saturday, going 3-for-4 with three singles in the

loss, improving his season batting average to .375. He finished the series 8-for-15 with a home run, four RBIs and three runs scored.

Davey said he has taken on the role of tone setter for the UConn offense, having far and away been the lineup’s strongest offensive contributor in recent weeks.

“You kind of have to assume that role if you’re doing well,” he said. “And that goes for anyone who’s hitting well at any given moment. We just need more of it.

We need more guys who are able to fill that role. It can’t just be one or two guys. You need the whole team to kind of come together and be able to hit, and if you don’t hit as a team it’s not really going to matter much.”

Davey minced no words when describing the mood in the lineup after Saturday’s loss.

“Defeated,” he said. “There’s no question we’re a more talented team than [Temple], and we just didn’t capitalize in certain situations. That led to two tough losses against a team that we should have taken the series against.”

UConn returns to action this afternoon against Central Connecticut State. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. at J.O. Christian Field.

Coverage of the game can be heard on 91.7-WHUS.

Davey continues hot streak for baseball team

Daniello on second base, junior outfielder Blake Davey stepped into the box, dug in and changed the game with one swing of the bat.

Davey swatted home run No. 8 of the season deep to left field, a shot that tied the game 4-4 in dramatic fashion and pushed it into extra innings.

Despite receiving a jolt of energy from Davey’s game-tying blast, the Huskies were unable to sustain any sort of offensive momentum in extra innings, despite having a prime opportunity to take the game in the bottom of the 12th.

Sophomore first baseman Bobby Melley led off the inning and was hit by a pitch. Freshman infielder Aaron Hill then pinch ran for Melley and advanced to second base on a Vinny Siena sacrifice bunt.

Temple then intentionally walked sophomore designated hitter Max McDowell, giving UConn runners on first and second with one out.

Freshman first baseman Ryan Sullivan was put in as a pinch hitter for freshman right fielder Griffin Garabedian. Sullivan rewarded the coaching staff by singling up the left field line to load the bases after junior catcher Connor David popped out in the preceding at bat.

The Blue Jackets’ overtime win Saturday in Pittsburgh was the first playoff victory in playoff history. More importantly, it evened the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series after two games.

Now the series shifts to Columbus, where the Blue Jackets will hope to ride the momentum from their Game 2 victory towards an upset that the New York Islanders could not accomplish when in the same position last year.

DALLAS (AP) — Lindy Ruff figures anyone who has watched the Dallas Stars in their first two playoff games should know they won’t quit.

Even in a big hole against top-seeded Anaheim before their first home playoff game in six years.

“It doesn’t feel like an 0-2 series. We definitely haven’t been dominated,” said Ruff, the veteran coach in his first season on the Dallas bench. “In fact, the last game we dominated, we just didn’t win. So we’ve got to clean up some of our mistakes and take advantage of some of those key opportunities.”

After a pair of one-goal losses in Anaheim, the Stars are home for Game 3 Monday night for their first postseason game at the American Airlines Center since May 19, 2008 — a span of 2,162 days. That was a 4-1 loss to Detroit in the clinching Game 6 of the Western Conference finals, two weeks after the Stars wrapped up their previous series with a Game 6 win at home, 2-1 in four overtimes against San Jose.

The Stars outshot Anaheim 36-19 in the 3-2 loss in Game 2, when Dallas had a 15-2 edge in a third-period flurry. But Ducks rookie goalie Frederik Andersen finished with 34 saves in his second postseason start.

“It’s going to be tough games in Dallas. ...

We’re going to have to be ready for a great atmosphere for them with their fans,” Ducks center Andrew Cogliano said. “That’s by far the most offensive we’ve seen them play right in the series. The games right now are so intense, but the guys are ready.”

Ten Dallas players have made their postseason debuts in this series, which started with Anaheim jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the opener before holding on for a 4-3 victory.

“The second half of the first game was more of the way we wanted to play and then I thought we played pretty good in the second game,’” Stars captain Jamie Benn said. “We just made a couple too many mistakes and they capitalized on it.”

Here are five things to watch in Game 3 of the series: GETZLAF AND PERRY: Anaheim capital Ryan Getzlaf has two goals and two assists in the series. There was also the slap shot to the jaw in the opener and the birth of his third child before Game 2, when he scored a firstperiod goal and set up Cogliano’s short-handed score. And Corey Perry, the Canadian Olympic gold medalist who was the NHL’s secondleading goal-scorer this season behind only Alex Ovechkin, finally scored his first goal in 10 playoff games since 2011.

“They’ve had the best shooting percentage in the league and I see why. They don’t need a lot of chances,” Ruff said of Getzlaf and Perry.

“We gave each of them one good opportunity.

I don’t know if they had another one. And they both scored.”

AP

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks felt the repercussions of Brent Seabrook’s hit on David Backes again on Sunday.

How it affects the rest of their playoff series against the St. Louis Blues remains to be seen.

Seabrook was suspended for three games by the NHL on his 29th birthday for his elbow to Backes’ head late in the third period of St. Louis’ 4-3 overtime win in Game 2.

Now Chicago has to dig out of a 2-0 hole without one of its best defensemen in a rocky start to its Stanley Cup title defense.

“You need his size, you need his presence and experience and his leadership,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said before Seabrook’s suspension was announced. “He’s got the big shot on the point and he’s on our power play as well. He kills penalties, so he plays all important minutes.”

Seabrook received a fiveminute major and game misconduct penalty after he wiped out Backes at 15:09 of the third, and the Blues used the resulting power play to score the tying goal with 6.4 seconds left in regulation on Vladimir Tarasenko’s long wrist shot.

Backes had to be helped off the ice and did not return. The captain’s status for Monday night’s Game 3 is up in the air.

“All I know is he’s upright, and that’s about it right now,” Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said Sunday. “We don’t have any further information and probably

won’t have until late tomorrow.”

Backes and Seabrook were not made available to the media on the day off, but much of the talk centered on the hit anyway.

The TV broadcast picked up someone taunting Backes in the aftermath of the big blow, but it was unclear if it was coming from the ice or the crowd in the corner where the play occurred.

“I saw them talking to him. It makes it a little more gutless,” Blues forward Ryan Reaves said. “I don’t think there’s any need for that. He doesn’t even know where he really is. I think if they want to start getting into that battle, we can play the same way. We’ll see where it takes us.”

Quenneville said he did not see or hear any players taunting Backes after he went down.

In addition to the hit by Seabrook, Hitchcock also was upset by Bryan Bickell’s kneeon-knee collision with Blues center Vladimir Sobotka in the third. He said the Blackhawks forward was involved in a similar play with defenseman Alex Pietrangelo in the first.

“That part bothers me more than the hit on David, a hit that went array,” Hitchcock said.

“The hit on Sobotka was a continuation of what happened to Petro in the first period.”

Here are five things to watch in Game 3 of this increasingly testy series: HOME SWEET HOME: The Blackhawks went 11-2 at home in the playoffs last year, outscoring the Wild, Red Wings,

AP

Brent Seabrook, right, is congratulated by Marian Hossa after scoring against the St. Louis Blues Thursday. Seabrook was suspended three games for a hit on David Backes Saturday.

Kings and Bruins by a combined score of 41-23. They went 27-7-7 at the United Center this season, including a 2-0-1 mark against the Blues.

“You just feed off of it,” Quenneville said. “It’ll be exciting to get back here, get some of the positive vibes off it and look to turn this thing around.”

VLADIMIR THE GREAT: Tarasenko missed the last 15 games of the regular season with a broken right thumb. But the 22-year-old Russian forward caused all sorts of headaches for the Blackhawks in the first two games of the series.

The speedy Tarasenko had a first-period goal in the playoff opener, and then had the tying power-play score in Saturday’s victory. With Seabrook out for the next three games and Backes’ status in question,

Tarasenko could take on a more prominent role for the rest of the series.

SO MANY PENALTIES: The Blues and Blackhawks combined for 17 penalties and 61 penalty minutes in Game 2. The defending Stanley Cup champions were responsible for 11 of those penalties and 41 penalty minutes, both season highs.

It looked as if the Blackhawks wanted to match the physicality of the Blues, and it took them out of their puck possession game at times.

“I think a little bit we might have played into their hands, but we’ve got to get back to our hockey, because when we’re playing that way we do a good job and that’s how we win,” Chicago forward Brandon Saad said.

SLIPPING AND SLIDING

Huskies drop two games to Temple, fall to seventh in AAC

By Jack Mitchell Staff Writer

Tyler Morrissey

This morning, the sun will rise high above the city of Boston and glimmer off the many windows that dot the Prudential Building. It will shine over TD Garden and Quincy Market after passing over Fenway Park and Boylston Street.

Today is a special day in Boston, Patriots Day. It is a day to commemorate the infamous battles of Lexington and Concord during the American Revolution in 1775.

Throughout Massachusetts ordinary citizens dressed in clothing from the time period will march in parades and the Red Sox will play a home game at Fenway Park. Patriot’s Day also includes the running of the Boston Marathon.

This year’s marathon has a different feel to it due to the devastating attack that happened a year ago last Tuesday. Two bombs built from pressure cookers, designed to inflict serious harm detonated killing three people and injuring countless others. As runners crossed the finish line after a grueling 26 mile run, they were met with flying shrapnel and screams, instead of cheers and smiles.

An act of terrorism at one of America’s annual traditions was meant to incite fear in a city and demoralize its people. Instead, as the bombs exploded on Boylston Street, people who ran 26 miles ran another two miles or so to the nearest hospital to donate blood. Boston Police who thought they were only there for crowd control quickly sprang into action to save lives and help the injured. Ordinary citizens went toward the carnage despite not knowing what would happen next to save the lives of complete strangers.

In a flash Patriot’s Day took on a whole new meaning. It wasn’t just about baseball at Fenway or the running of a marathon, but about defending your country and helping the person next to you. It’s ironic considering the origin of this holiday.

Most of you by now have seen or heard the stories of survivors like Jeff Bauman, who just released his own memoir called “Stronger.”

And you all know the story of the bombers themselves, who don’t even deserve to be named in this column. Personally, I hate when the perpetrators of violence get more attention than the victims of their cowardly actions.

This year’s marathon should be run in remembrance of those killed in the attack and the manhunt that followed, but it should be a celebration rather than mourning of all we have lost. With the media the city of Boston has expressed they will run again and run as one. If there’s anything we learned about Boston from all of this, it is the city’s resiliency.

Shortly after the bombing, a Red Sox designated hitter took to the microphone at Fenway Park and declared that “this is our (expletive) city, and nobody is going to dictate our freedom.” The Sox went on to win the World Series last year and placed the trophy at the finish line with the “617 strong” jersey that hung in the dugout all season.

At the end of the day today is about the people running their hearts out not just for first place, but to finish the grueling challenge of running a marathon. What people should take away from last year’s tragedy is that through turbulent times you get back up and get on the starting line.

The take away that you can’t keep a city like Boston down. You should recognize that life is a precious thing that can be taken away in an instant, even on a clear sunny day. You should not be afraid to live your life and that the best revenge against the cowardly individuals who attacked the marathon is living well and running on.

Failure to capitalize with runners in scoring position, extra inning heartbreak and untimely errors defined the final two games of the UConn baseball team’s series against Temple, as the Owls came back from a game-one loss to win the series two games to one.

Redshirt junior Jordan Tabakman and freshman Anthony Kay drew the starts in games two and three, respectively, which the Huskies (18-19, 5-6 The American) lost 7-4 and 6-2, dropping them to No. 7 in the conference standings.

Despite allowing six hits, Tabakman pitched a relatively strong five innings on Friday, allowing only two earned runs and striking out one.

Head coach Jim Penders said Tabakman – who had missed a couple of weeks earlier in the season with a back injury – wanted to continue into the sixth inning, but that the coaching staff felt it was time to “mix it up” by going to the bullpen.

“He wasn’t quite Jordan,” Penders said. “I thought he was pitching better toward the end of that appearance than he did at the beginning.

He just gave a few too many freebies up early and wasn’t in-sync. His fastball location was off.

He battled through, but we need a little bit better length from him.”

UConn and Temple (12-19, 7-8 The American) traded runs early in Friday’s game, with the Owls putting numbers on the board in the first and second innings and the Huskies responding with runs in both the second and third.

Temple then pulled ahead in the late going, making it a 4-2 game after tallying runs in the top of the sixth and top of the seventh off UConn freshman righty Andrew Zapata, who relieved Tabakman after the fifth inning.

Bruins beat Red Wings 4-1 to even series BOSTON (AP) — Justin Florek and Reilly Smith scored in a three-minute span in the first period and the Boston Bruins evened their playoff series with a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings in the Game 2 on Sunday.

Showing more spark after not taking enough challenging shots on goal in their 1-0 loss Friday night, the Bruins had 18 shots in the first period after managing just 25 in the entire opener.

Luke Glendening cut Boston’s lead to 2-1 at 13:20 of the second period before Milan Lucic scored late in the second and Zdeno Chara added a power-play goal early in the third.

Game 3 of the best-ofseven series between the top-seeded Bruins, who won the Presidents’ Cup with an NHL-high 117 points, and eighth-seeded Red Wings is set for Detroit on Tuesday night.

On Sunday, Boston didn’t

take its first shot until 7:28 into the opening period. And it went in.

Florek, a rookie wing filling in for the injured Chris Kelly on the third line, scored after Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard and defenseman Brendan Smith missed connecting on a pass.

Howard came out of his crease to collect a loose puck and passed it toward Smith, who was skating back along the right boards. But the puck bounced off Smith’s right calf and into the circle where Florek shot quickly before Howard could get back.

It was Florek’s first career playoff goal after he scored one goal in four regularseason games.

The Bruins made it 2-0 at 10:35 on a power-play goal

by Smith, whose brother Brendan plays on the Wings.

Howard stopped Patrice Bergeron’s shot from the blue line and Loui Eriksson poked the puck between Howard’s legs. Smith then

skated behind Howard and tapped it in.

Glendening positioned himself in the right spot, just in front of Boston goalie Tuukka Rask to score his first career playoff goal.

Darren Helm’s shot from the top of the right circle hit Boston defenseman Johnny Boychuk’s stick just in front of the crease.

The puck went up, hit Glendening in the chest and got past Rask.

Softball drops two out of three against Temple at home

By Spencer Mayfield Campus Correspondent

The UConn softball team lost their weekend series against the Temple Owls in Storrs this weekend. The Huskies won game one 5-4 in 10 innings and lost games two and three by a score of 4-2 and 3-2.

Game one of the series was a pitching duel between UConn starting pitcher Lauren Duggan and Temple’s starting pitcher Kelsey Dominik.

The Owls struck first in the top of the first inning when Sarah Prezioso started off the game with a double.

Leah Lucas hit an RBI double two batters later that scored Prezioso.

The Huskies responded in the bottom of the first

inning when Audrey Grinnell reached on an error that scored Valerie Sadowl. Both teams went scoreless in the second inning.

Temple was able to get back on the board in the top of the third inning when Prezioso hit a solo homerun. But once again UConn responded with a rally in the bottom of the third inning.

Emily O’Donnell led off the inning with a single, and Sadowl got on base with a walk. Alyson Ambler cleared the bases with a three run homerun that gave UConn a two run lead.

Temple was able to get a run back in the top of the fourth and the top of the seventh to force extra innings.

Duggan settled down in extra innings and only allowed one hit in the eight, ninth

and tenth innings combined.

UConn coach Karen Mullins was impressed by Duggan’s 10-inning effort on the mound.

“We are really pleased, we felt like she got stronger as the game went on and that was good to see,” Mullins said. “She really gutted it out for us so we are pleased with her performance today.”

The big hit finally came for UConn in the bottom of the 10th inning when Dominique Pinto hit an RBI single that scored Sadowl. Duggan earned her seventh win of the year and Mullins was proud of the way the team rallied around Duggan.

“We had opportunities and we just weren’t finishing things and she hung in there,” Mullins said. “I feel like everybody did rally around

her because they knew she pitched a great game and we were knocking on the door and just had to get through. It was a good win for us.”

In game two, the Huskies took an early lead in the bottom of the first inning after a sacrifice fly from Ambler scored Maddy Schiappa.

Temple took the lead back when they scored two runs off of Kayla Doty in the top of the third inning.

The Owls added two more insurance runs off of relief pitcher Ambler in the top of the seventh inning. Temple held on to win the game after the UConn rally fell short in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Despite the loss, Mullins was pleased with the contributions the team received from Ambler, who had an RBI

and pitched three innings in relief.

“Alyson Ambler did some things for us offensively and she came in and threw some tough innings for us so that was nice to see,” Mullins said.

Game three was a rematch between Duggan and Dominik on the mound, but this time Dominik won the pitcher’s duel for Temple.

Dominik allowed a tworun homerun to Heather Fyfe in the bottom of the second inning but that would be all the scoring for the Huskies.

Temple tied the game up in the top of the sixth inning and took the lead in the top of the seventh when Devynne Nelons hit an RBI double that gave the Owls a one run lead.
