Pell Grants Awarded at Cornell Increase by 4 Percent Since 2008

By AIMEE CHO Sun Senior Writer

The percentage of Cornell undergraduates receiving a Pell Grant has risen since 2008 — the same year that President David Skorton announced sweeping changes to the University’s financial aid policy — data from a recent New York Times ranking shows.

According to the ranking, which lists “the most economically diverse top colleges,” the percentage of Pell Grant recipients has risen four percent since 2008 at Cornell —

from 12 percent of students receiving a Pell Grant in 2008 to 16 percent in 2012.

More than 2,400 undergraduate students received a Pell Grant during the 2012-13 school year compared to 1,789 students during the 2008-09 school year, according to data obtained from the United States Department of Education.

The average Pell Grant award has also risen over the years, from $3,548 in 2008-09 to $4,124 in 2012-13.

University to Offer New Dual Degree Program

By JONATHAN SWARTZ Sun Senior Writer

CAMERON POLLACK / SUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

The University announced Monday a formal collaboration between the School of Hotel Administration and the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai to offer dual degrees next year.

The dual-degree program will allow students from both schools to complete two degrees over the course of two years — the Master of Management in Hospitality degree at Cornell and the Master of Business Administration degree at CEIBS — according to the University.

According to Prof. Rohit Verma, hotel administration, obtaining an MMH degree normally takes one year and a traditional MBA degree requires two years — a process that is streamlined in the new program due to overlapping core classes.

Josh Pollock ’17 and Garrett Heller ’17 sell cupcakes Wednesday to raise money for Sunrise Day Camp in Wheatley Heights, New York, which admits cancer patients and siblings from ages three to 16 free of charge.

Paintball Culprits Arrested, Identified as Two Teenagers Police say they arrested two teenagers following a string of reports from individuals who were shot with paintballs on and near Cornell’s campus.

Two underage teenagers were charged by both the Cornell University Police Department and the Village of Cayuga Heights Police Department with fourthdegree criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree reckless endangerment, according to a University press release.

The names of the teenagers were not released because of their age, according to the University. Both will appear at the Village of Cayuga Heights Court on Sept. 30 and the City of Ithaca Court on Oct. 8.

The University issued two crime alerts to the Cornell community

after multiple students reported that they were struck by paintballs on campus, an act that Cornell Police Chief Kathy Zoner deemed “intolerable.” Students reported that they saw a “black or dark-colored sedan” on campus with a paintball gun.

Police said they appreciated the support from the surrounding communities regarding the case.

“The officers assigned to these cases wish to thank the Cayuga Heights and Cornell communities for their active participation in reporting these incidents and providing valuable information that helped bring the cases to a quick resolution,” a University press release stated.

Police Investigate Morning Burglaries

By ANNIE BUI Sun News Editor

Cornell University Police and the Ithaca Police Department are currently investigating two burglaries that occurred between 5 a.m. and 5:45 a.m. on Cornell’s West Campus Wednesday morning.

The first reported burglary — which is being investigated

by IPD — occurred at 804 Stewart Ave. The male victim told police he was awoken by the sound of someone in his room and subsequently observed a male subject going through his wallet. The suspect then fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The victim described the perpetrator as a black male in his late 20s to early 30s, wearing

an Oakland A’s baseball cap.

The second reported burglary, which occurred at 623 University Ave. — the address of Von Cramm Cooperative Hall — is being investigated by CUPD. According to the

female victim, she was awoken by a male subject going through a bag in her room. No further details are available at this time, according to CUPD. See BURGLARIES page 4

With the birth of “odorless” cabbage came the suggestion that scientists should attempt similar achievements with onions, garlic and possibly a few other vegetables.

At present, Cornell’s department of vegetable crops is experimenting to determine that type of soil or locality on which either mild or strong onions may be grown. They are also trying to discover what determines the power of the onion to bring tears to the eyes.

Research for the department is being carried on by Dr. Hans Platenius who says “it is likely that some day we may be able to predict the soils or localities that will grow mild or strong onions.”

The strength of the onion has long been of great interest of the department, he continues, and “we are wondering if it would be possible to grow onions here, with respect to mildness, that could compare favorably with the imported red Italian onions or the Bermuda types grown in Texas, which are sold on the markets.

than others, it seemed necessary to find out first what in particular gives the onion its particular flavor and odor.

The answer was given about 40 years ago by a German chemist, F.W. Semmler. He found that the tears in onions really result from a volatile oil, present in very small amounts.

“To study the chemical composition and nature of the oil, he had to distill more than a ton of onions. Even then he obtained less than one-tenth of a pint of pure oil. What it lacks in quantity, however, is made up in power of the oil.

“As some of our experiments have shown, a fraction of a drop of this oil is enough to make the odor of onions noticeable throughout several large buildings. Based on the findings of Semmler, a chemical method was developed to measure the pungency of onions accurately by giving the amount of volatile sulfer in the onion oil. This method had to be developed because the common testing test is unreliable.”

Ithaca Welcomes Kava Bar

By TALIA JUBAS

Sun Staff Writer

Ithacans searching for a “health conscious, self-aware and positive nightlife experience” might find their fix at the newly-opened Sacred Root Kava Lounge and Tea Bar, according to owners and husband and wife Paul and Judi Galgoczy.

Sacred Root — which is located at 139 West State Street below the Cornell Daily Sun offices — was welcomed downtown in a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sept. 19.

According to Paul Galgoczy, kava — the bar’s main offering — is a cold drink made from the root of the kava plant,

which is found in the South Pacific Islands. Although native islanders have enjoyed the beverage for thousands of years, it remains “relatively unknown” outside of that region, he said.

Over the almost 10 years that the couple has been in Ithaca, the Galgoczys said they noticed that there were not any latenight alternatives to the bars.

“It occurred to me living here several years ... there was nowhere to go to just engage with other people, and connect, and be sociable without it being the drinking kind of scene,” Paul Galgoczy said. “If you don’t want to be drinking, it can be uncomfortable to be in that situation.”

Inspired by his wife’s passion for tea and their family’s connection to the island beverage — Judi has siblings who operate kava bars in California and Florida — Galoczy researched the beverage, finding that kava is consumed more for the experience and the effect than the taste.

“It’s a natural relaxant, so it relieves stress and anxiety by relaxing your body, but it does that without impairing you mentally or clouding your judgment,” he said.

Donovan Soland, an Ithacan who has been researching different herbs and botanicals to treat his anxiety, said he has been pleased by the effects of kava.

“I have anxiety issues and it calms you down,” Soland said. “I use it … instead of drinking alcohol.”

Paul Galgoczy agreed that kava contrasts with alcohol, which he said he believes makes people more insensitive and less aware.

“Kava opens your heart more, makes you more welcoming,” Galgoczy said.

“People make friends very quickly sitting down drinking kava together.”

be “a space where people can share what they have to offer with the community,” and is open to hosting “positive-minded” events with local residents and businesses.

Beyond kava, the lounge offers raw, vegan treats and hot teas crafted by Apothokara, a herbalist who makes locally sourced, organic blends. The couple also plans to expand the menu to include nonalcoholic cocktail drinks.

Sacred Root’s happy hour lasts from 4 p.m. when the bar opens, until 8 p.m., and guests are invited to two-for-one deals. Galgoczy said he encourages new kava drinkers to visit during these hours

because new drinkers tend to need a larger quantity to feel an effect and he wants to make sure they have the full experience — something he believes puts life “in perspective.”

“I feel we have something valuable to offer and to share with people,” he said. “[Kava] allows you to appreciate the beauty of the world around you and the gift of the interactions we have with other people, which we tend to overlook because we rush through our lives.”

‘Bike and Build’program seeks to raise funds, awareness for affordable housing

By DIVYANSHA SEHGAL Sun Contributor

This summer, four Cornellians participated in Bike and Build, a national non-profit organization that organizes cycling trips to raise money and awareness for affordable housing.

Among nine available routes, bikers spend up to 11 weeks traveling across the United States, dedicating certain days en route to building houses.

Participants are required to raise $4,500 before their departure and volunteer for at least 10 hours at a construction site with an affordable housing group, the website says.

Cornellians who participated last summer said that there was a large amount of training required before the trip.

Kristen Ewing ’14, who took a route from Maine to Santa Barbara, said that though the training was difficult, it was “absolutely necessary” for

preparing for the trip.

“Riders have to complete 10 hours of sweat equity on an affordable housing project site in order to gain experience building,” Ewing said. “I wouldn’t say that the training was easy.”

Rosalind Foltz ’16 said that finding the time to train longdistance last semester was difficult due to final exams, yet she agreed with Ewing that the training was necessary.

“We were instructed to ride 500 miles total with one ride exceeding 65 miles,” Foltz said.

“But if any of us happened to lack in conditioning at the start of the ride, we had no choice but to get in shape climbing the Appalachian Mountains through Virginia and West Virginia.”

Foltz said she was thankful for her training when climbing Rocky Mountain National Park on Trail Ridge Pass — the highest continuous paved road in the United States — when she had

to make her way to Granby, Colorado.

“We climbed for about 25 miles straight up, shot down the other side of the pass and then had to contend with incredibly strong winds from Lake Granby,” she said. “[There was also a] threat of a thunderstorm on our way into town at the end of the day.”

Despite the intensive training and physically demanding work, Laura Anderson ’14 said the trip “was an adventure.”

“Every day was an adventure, whether it was exploring small towns and meeting locals or having the mayor of Portales, New Mexico declare it Bike and Build Day,” she said.

Ewing said the hardest part of the trip was constantly migrating from location to location.

“The most time we ever spent in a city was three nights in Columbus, Ohio, but we usually only stayed in a city for one night,” Ewing said. “While we often wished we had more time to slow down and explore, we usually had to rush and keep moving.”

When asked about the downsides of the trip, Anderson said she wished for more free time because “there wasn’t much in the way of downtime.”

“We had three days off the entire summer and most evenings after our rides, [but] we had chores to do, town-hall style team meetings, seminars about issues related to affordable housing and grant reviews,” she said.

However, Foltz said she enjoyed discovering the new towns and cities they visited.

“One of my favorite parts of the trip was getting to know all of the little towns and big cities that hosted us,” Foltz said.

In Amarillo, Texas, for example, the riders both framed an entire house alongside its future homeowner and enjoyed a variety of local diversions.

“We had no choice but to get in shape climbing the Appalachian Mountains through Virginia and West Virginia.”

Rosalind Foltz ’16 took the 72-ounce Texan Steak challenge and we formed a cheering squad 33 strong in the middle of a restaurant,” she said.

“We learn[ed] how to rope a cow from a Texan cowboy-pastor and more.”

As a whole, Anderson said the experience made her more aware about the housing conditions in other parts of the country.

“This summer was really eyeopening not only in that I got to see how most of the United States lives, but also how badly parts of our own country truly need help,” Anderson said.

Over the past 11 seasons, Bike and Build has donated more than $4.5 million, spent 160,000 hours on construction, pedaled over 7.5 million miles and engaged more than 2,000 young adults in informing others about the affordable housing crisis in America, according to their website.

No.of Pell Grants at C.U. Increase Cornell,Shanghai Univ.

Univ.still has more to do regarding financial aid,students say RANKING

Continued from page 1

place for in economic diversity among top colleges after creating a “college access index” based on calculating the percentage of freshmen receiving Pell Grants at universities, the net price of attendance for low to middle income families and endowment per student.

Cornell was placed behind other Ivy League institutions Harvard University, Columbia University, Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania and Dartmouth College.

The ranking comes on the heels of what Jason Locke, associate vice provost for enrollment, described in August as a “significant increase in average grant aid awards for financial aid recipients.”

Freshmen this year received an average grant of $35,735 — a $1,946 increase from last year — according to the University. This year’s freshman class also was the most ethnically diverse in Cornell history, with 42.9 percent of students identifying as students of color.

Still, in light of The New York Times’ ranking, Cornellians say that the University has more to do to meet its official commitment to “access and affordability.”

Franklin Yang ’17, chair of the Student Assembly’s Financial Aid Review Committee, said he thinks Cornell “is doing a good job, but it can do a great job” at being economically accessible and diverse.

“There’s definitely room for improvement,” Yang said. “That’s something that will have to be worked out over time. ... Even with our endowments, there are certain limitations as to what Cornell can do right now. A lot of the money goes into maintaining our academic status.”

Yamini Bhandari ’17, a member of the committee, added that the diversity of students’ backgrounds is an asset because it allows students to gain

perspective.

“The major drawback is that we often forget that we have this asset and do not ensure that all programs on this campus cater to fostering the diversity,” she said.

Bhandari said the added costs of being part of organizations on campus make it so that some programs are “not accessible to all students.”

“As a University, the major push needs to come from the administration to ensure that we make opportunities truly available to everyone regardless of their background,” she said. “Organizations that require little to no out of pocket expenses for students are traditionally the ones that I have seen have attracted a diverse student population, as is the case for many by-line funded groups.”

President David Skorton said last spring that another challenge with making Cornell economically accessible is the unavailability of aid to “intermediate” income students, The Sun previously reported.

The just-above-middle-class is in the “toughest spot among all students,” according to Mark LaPointe ’16, a member of FARC. “Their families make too much to be considered for significant financial aid, yet they make too little to fund comfortabl[y] a full, financial aid unassisted tuition for the students,” he said.

Some of the “major changes” in economic diversity that have already taken place on campus have been the result of student-led initiatives, according to Bhandari.

“I believe that a large part of this is due to the incredible diversity in thought and ideas that students at Cornell bring to this campus,” she said.

“Students here feel that they have the right and power to advocate for themselves and their needs.”

To Collaborate in Program DUAL-DEGREE

Continued from page 1

“Since the two universities will transfer credits for core courses taken at each institution, the students in this program will have the advantage of completing two degrees from two leading universities within two years — instead of three years, with savings of cost and time,” Verma said.

Students will have the choice to start the program at either CEIBS or Cornell and continue their second year at the alternate campus, according to Verma, who led the development of the dual-degree program.

“CEIBS is a high-quality MBA program and is recognized as one of the leading business programs in the world by Financial Times and other rating agencies,” Verma said. “By partnering with CEIBS, we will get high quality MBA students from China who are interested in a career in travel, tourism and hospitality industry.”

Verma said that during fall 2012, Michael D. Johnson, hotel school dean, assigned him to explore potential partners for a MBAMMH dual degree program. “[China’s] service industry “Once CEIBS was identified and vetted as a is becoming increasingly potential partner, I was assigned by Dean important.”

Johnson to help develop the specifics of the agreeProf. Hellmut Schutte ment between CEIBS and Cornell,” Verma said.

“The task required approval from deans of both schools, and [the] Cornell provost [and] counsel’s office. ... The entire process took approximately one and a half years.”

According to Prof. Hellmut Schutte, dean and professor of international management at CEIBS, an understanding of the way business is done in China within a global context is now an invaluable asset. “[China’s] service industry is becoming increasingly important,” Schutte said in the press release. “CEIBS is pleased to be able to collaborate with Cornell in offering this opportunity of a dual degree that aligns two very important areas.”

Echoing Hellmut, Johnson said that as the second-largest economy in the world, China and its hospitality industry are poised for dramatic expansion.

“As the Chinese middle class grows, domestic hospitality companies are building new brands, and international brands are expanding into the country,” Johnson said in the press release.

According to Verma, the program is currently limited to 10 students from CEIBS who can join Cornell’s MMH and 10 students from Cornell who can attend CEIBS. Jonathan Swartz can be reached at jswartz@cornellsun.com.

Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Given Trial Delay by Judge

BOSTON (AP) — A judge granted a two-month trial delay on Wednesday for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, but denied a defense request to move his trial from Boston.

Judge George O’Toole ruled that the trial will begin Jan. 5 instead of Nov. 3, but said there’s no reason to assume in advance that a fair jury cannot be selected in Massachusetts.

Defense attorneys had asked that the trial be moved to Washington, D.C., citing extensive media coverage in Boston and evaluations of public sentiment by their experts. They also asked for a trial delay until at least September 2015, saying they have not had time to prepare for a November trial, and had been given less time than was granted in many other federal death penalty cases.

Tsarnaev, 21, has pleaded not guilty to 30 federal charges. He could face the death penalty if convicted.

Prosecutors say he and his older brother placed two pressure cooker bombs that exploded near the marathon's finish line. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in a shootout with police several days later.

“Although media coverage in this case has been extensive, at this stage the defendant has failed to show that it has so inflamed and pervasively prejudiced the pool that a fair and impartial jury cannot be empaneled in this District,” O’Toole wrote.

He also wrote that a short delay is warranted because of the large amount of evidence the defense has received from prosecutors. But he said, “An additional delay of ten months as requested by the defendant does not appear necessary.”

Prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed they would need to summon about 2,000 potential jurors, but they filed more than 100 pages of legal briefs arguing over moving the trial.

The judge agreed with prosecutors’ arguments the defense’s expert evaluations were flawed, and that eastern Massachusetts’ diverse population of over 5 million is sufficient to pick a jury.

Tony Stewart Will Not Face Charges In Deadly NASCAR Crash CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (AP) — After more than six weeks in limbo, NASCAR star Tony Stewart finally got the news he had been hoping for.

A grand jury that heard testimony from more than two dozen witnesses, including accident reconstruction experts and drivers, and looked at photographs and video decided against bringing criminal charges against Stewart for the death of 20-yearold sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 race.

That doesn’t mean it’s over.

A few hours after Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the grand jury’s decision in this upstate New York hamlet, the Ward family indicated in a statement read over the telephone by sister Kayla Herring that they will seek civil damages in the young driver’s death.

“Our son got out of his car during caution when the race was suspended. All the other vehicles were reducing speed and not accelerating except for Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and

sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy,” the family said Wednesday. “The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart.

This matter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin.”

The family might have a difficult task: Tantillo disclosed that Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night he died and said two different videos were enhanced, frames were isolated and viewed at at least three different speeds and finally overlaid with grids and data. Both showed Stewart had done nothing wrong.

“The videos did not demonstrate any aberrational driving by Tony Stewart until the point of impact with Kevin Ward, at which point his vehicle veered to the right up the track as a result of the collision. Prior to that, his course was pretty straight,” said Tantillo. He added that toxicology evidence from Ward's autopsy “indicates that at the time of operation he was under the influence of marijuana. The levels determined were enough to impair judgment.”

Some Banks Reissue Cards Following Home Depot Data Breach (AP) — Some lenders are preparing to reissue credit or debit cards to customers to head off possible losses following the breach of customer data at Home Depot.

Capital One Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. said Wednesday they are preparing to assign new cards to accountholders due to the data theft at the home-improvement retailer.

Earlier this month, Home Depot confirmed that malicious software lurking in its check-out terminals between April and September affected 56 million debit and credit cards. Target, Michaels and Neiman Marcus also have been attacked by hack-

ers in the past year.

While lenders often will issue customers a card after it’s been lost, stolen or used to make an unauthorized purchase, Capital One and JPMorgan are taking action based merely on whether accounts may be compromised.

Capital One, which issues debit cards in addition to its namesake credit card, is preparing to do a proactive, “mass reissue” or credit and debit cards on accounts that it believes are at risk due to the Home Depot data breach, said spokeswoman Pam Girardo.

She declined to say how man accountholders would be receiving new cards.

Collegetown Crossing: Over the Threshold ON TUESDAY, THE CITY OF ITHACA Planning and Development Board approved development of the new mixed-use building, Collegetown Crossing. After several years of proposals and planning, the building, which will stand at 307 College Avenue, will have 46 apartments as well as several commercial storefronts, including a GreenStar Cooperative Market. We at The Sun support the City of Ithaca’s decision to allow Collegetown Crossing to be developed, and believe that it will bring much-needed residential units and commercial activity to Collegetown.

We believe that this new development will repurpose space that is currently being underutilized in order to better serve the community. Collegetown Crossing — an 8,600 square foot building immediately south of Ithaca Fire Station No. 9 — will provide 46 apartment units that were not previously available to the community, allowing another 96 residents to live in Collegetown. While the proposal was originally rejected, we are supportive of the recently passed form-based zoning code that has allowed this development to be built. Since Collegetown currently has a limited supply of apartments — leading to a rushed leasing period as well as higher-than-average rents — we believe that Collegetown Crossing and other developments like it are a step forward in terms of improving conditions in rental units as well as being able to house more students in more convenient locations.

Aside from the increased number of bedrooms, the new construction will not only improve the area’s built environment, but also bring new commercial resources to Collegetown, and College Avenue in particular. For example, we believe that the addition of the GreenStar Cooperative Market will benefit students and local residents through convenience, health and access to additional food options. In addition, the extra commercial space available in the building will hopefully help foster continued growth for small businesses and bring more commercial activity to Collegetown. The building will also provide a heated shelter for TCAT riders and a convenient cross-block walkway between Linden Avenue and College Avenue to improve the pedestrian experience for the community, another asset for Collegetown.

We at The Sun commend the Planning and Development Board for allowing Collegetown Crossing to be developed and we hope that the Board follows this new precedent to bring other buildings with similar utility to Collegetown.

OPINION

Ruth M. |

I

Please Don’t Put That There

’m not sure if this is a fad or if I’m just now realizing it, but it seems like guys are asking for “butt stuff ” more than ever before. I don’t mean asking me in particular, but I see jokes about it on the Internet, on Tinder (lol) and I hear about it from my friends. I’ve had a few unpleasant experiences with anal sex, all of which have left me wondering why any woman with a functioning vagina would let someone put anything in their butthole unless they truly enjoy it. I’m also about to detail those unpleasant experiences … so save this column for later if you’re eating.

The first time I ever heard of anal sex I was an innocent virginal high school student. One of my best friends, who had recently lost her virginity, told me that every time she had sex with her boyfriend it was really painful. Horrified, I asked for more details, because I thought it was only supposed to hurt the first time. Her explanation was “oh, he only likes to do anal.” I had no idea if this was normal or not, but I couldn’t help but wonder why she would participate in sex that was only enjoyable to one

person. Now that I have more experience, I definitely think that she could have made better sexual choices.

My own butthole (wow, I’m getting personal with you guys) remained a virgin long after I lost my vaginal virginity.

However, one drunken night, a guy I was sleeping with at the time decided to lube himself up without me noticing and put himself the in forbidden hole.

My first re a c t i o n w a s silence as I was a little curious about how it would feel. About seven seconds later all I could get out was “ow” and he quickly pulled out and apologized. It didn’t feel good. Skip this sentence if you are under the impression that females don’t defecate, but it really just felt like I had to poop. It was painful and I tried to calculate the last time I had gone number two … what if there were leftovers in

there!? I made him change the condom if he wanted to finish vaginally — I don’t need that kind of bacteria in my lady parts. Almost a year later, I overheard a guy telling a story that actually confirmed my poopy fears: He said he put it in and when he pulled it out it was covered in, well … you know.

M y second unpleasant experience with the b a c k entrance occurred with a random hookup that I willingly never spoke to or responded to again, and made me very grateful that the first anal adventurer had had the decency to use lube. We were drunk (classic Ruth, I know) and he slipped out and re-entered the wrong hole. I think I shouted “what are you doing!? Get that out of there!” and he listened, but it was too late. When I woke up the next morning there were

bloodstains on his sheets. I covered them with his discarded clothes and snuck out of there as he slept, never to return again.

After these experiences and the stories I have heard from others I have vowed to never let anyone put himself inside my butt ever again. Even if a guy slips out during sex and is directed in that area I make sure he’s not even thinking about it. I genuinely don’t enjoy it, and I have not met a girl who does. Maybe those girls exist, but my question is why a guy would enjoy something that the girl clearly does not? Isn’t the fun and joy of sex mutual satisfaction? I would definitely not enjoy myself during sex if the guy was not enjoying himself, and I’m curious if that feeling goes both ways. If a guy wants to be considered good in bed by a girl, his primary goal should be to make her feel good. I know that you can get off via vagina. No need to head south.

Hints From Hitch

Much Ado About Cumming

very time you hear about sex in movies or popular culture, it seems as if grand promises of improvement are always being made. Follow these tips and you can last longer, love harder and make your girlfriend orgasm more times than your favorite pornstar.

Cumming, orgasming or “getting off” is on the minds of many people exploring sex — especially with this added pressure. And it makes sense that these topics might be on your mind. A correctly-timed orgasm just might be the sexiest part of sex. Imagine your partner moaning, with eyes rolling back in their head, while you try to hold everything in right before you explode. This synced up sex is sensual, fiery and can include every good adjective in between.

But how can you consistently make this happen? And, what if it doesn’t?

Fortunately and unfortunately, I don’t think the answer is to just do better. That would be too easy of a problem to solve. This should help put your mind at ease and relax a bit — something I’ve always had trouble doing — knowing that climaxing is a different journey for everyone and that the solution isn’t so simple.

Acknowledging that fact will decrease the disappointment or frustration you might feel when you finish too early or fail to finish at all.

Although admitting that you won’t make all of your partners orgasm every time is challenging, there seems to be a number of other hurdles we face beyond managing our own expectations. The first: letting your history go. For example, during the first few months of an old fling, my partner would reach her climax faster than I could put on the Usher song of the same name. A simple touch, kiss on the clit or slow penetration would work like a charm. But, after our first few fights, it went away. It didn’t matter how much or how little sex we had. It also didn’t seem to matter whether or not she thought the sex was good or bad. We were frustrated and she was in her head. No matter where I touched her or where she touched herself, she became convinced

she’d never get there again.

If you’ve ever met this challenge, you can understand the difficulty, and you might claim my solution is a bit too simple. But, getting out of your head and living in the moment will always do the trick. Sure, acting these concepts out can be a lot easier said than done. However, things like music, a drink or two or new locations can help you embrace the now and remove you from the thoughts that might creep in and make it difficult to focus on your partner. Working with these ideas, and constantly reminding yourself to embrace them, will help make your sex life what it should be: stressfree and enjoyable.

to take your partner out of the dark and inform them of your trickery. You might find that their increased understanding will open them up to new pursuits and they might even put in a little extra effort to make sure you’re moaning all night long.

Even though my last hurdle, the complacency challenge, more easily applies to long-term couples, it can have an impact on everyone. Anyone with a steady booty call or relationship knows this narrative: your partner shows up, a quick conversation occurs, you kiss, have sex in the same three positions and head to bed. This routine might occur for a few weeks, months or years and boredom will most likely set in. A lot of sex is great, but a lot of the same kind of sex isn’t.

To get out of this rut, new positions should be added and I advise using the book 365 Sex Positions for ideas. Some of the more interesting positions to explore are the G-Spot Striker, the Pogo and Tribal Rhythm. In addition to new positions, be open with your partner(s) about your fantasies. Most of us have those few things they’ve always been interested in exploring. Sharing this idea with your partner can be intimidating and rejection can be tough. Despite these challenges, I’d implore everyone to remain open to new ideas and continue to investigate new fantasies until you find a couple that you are both comfortable with.

All of the above hurdles and challenges are common and sexual partners face them more often than you’d think.

Recognizing them, dealing with them and moving on will help you realize that you might’ve been worrying about orgasm too much and that all along there was much ado about nothing.

However, things like music, a drink or two or new locations can help you embrace the now and remove you from the thoughts that might creep in and make it difficult to focus on your partner.

I’ll call the next challenge: faking it but rarely making it.

The Journal of Sex Research says 67 percent of women and 28 percent of men have faked an orgasm. Not surprisingly, the same study indicates only 20 percent of their partners think their partners will fake orgasm with them. This discrepancy presents a real issue. Some aren’t getting to the top of the mountain while others are under the impression they are carrying their partner all the way there. In this scenario, communication is lacking and improvement never occurs: two of my deadliest sex sins.

Unlike other hurdles, this one isn’t all bad. The same study finds that some men and women do, occasionally, convince themselves into an orgasm. And, if that works for you, by all means continue. But if it isn’t working, it is time

Indulge in Ithaca’s Most Decadent Desserts

By RACHAEL CUSICK

Spyro Gyra Madeline’s

Sun Staff Contributer

We’ve all got hidden talents.

While some boast of their flexibility, others brag about their burping abilities. This week, I realized that my gift is half as impressive but arguably more disturbing than belching your ABC’s. My strengths lie within my stomach — a chamber that tolerates more sweets than any human being should ever be able to consume. Logs of cookie dough never get to see the oven light of day. My disappearing acts with ice cream pints rival those of any magician. And the question, “Can I try a bite of that?” is probably the most horrifying combination of words to ever enter my ears. So, naturally, when the opportunity arose to sample the best desserts in Ithaca, I put my insatiable sweet tooth and bottomless-pitted belly to work.

In a town swollen with gourmet shops and local bakeries, how could I possibly limit my stomach’s potential to one article? For the sake of word limits and diabetes, I narrowed this article to the top five desserts I came across. They

don’t involve ice cream — because that’s a list of its own league. They are substantial yet college wallet approved — because who is ever really content with that painfully dainty $4 macaroon? And they are all uniquely incredible — because it requires something exceptional to stand out amidst an army of cocoa-dusted dessert plates.

B ANANAS F OSTER B READ P UDDING Stella’s My dessert marathon began the moment I walked into the dimly lit, concave walled dining room of Stella’s. I pulled up a stool at the bar, ready to embark on the mission I had bragged about in each class that day. The dessert menu was titled “HouseMade Ecstasy” and was tailed by a literary movement inspired laundry list of espresso drinks

and loose-leaf teas. When the waiter arrived bearing the plate of bread pudding, its dimensions and window-breaking density resembled that of a brownstone apartment brick.

Warmth and the nostalgic smell of French toast radiated from the plate — two of the world’s most persuasive reasons to dig right in. Eagerly, my fork broke through the hearty mosaic of caramelized bananas and handtorn Ithaca Bakery bread. After finishing the mammoth serving of caramel-soaked brioche, I concluded that an Ithaca winter might not be so bad if it’s warmed with a serving of Stella’s banana bread pudding.

S IGNATURE C HOCOLATE L AVA C AKE The Heights Café & Grill I arrived at the The Heights with one thing on my mind

and one thing only: the carrot cake s’mores. Although I was ready to build a verbal shrine to the nutmeg scented, walnut flecked, chocolate-caramel drizzled, cream cheese-frosted, toasted marshmallow-topped carrot cake, I thought it only responsible to try each dessert on the menu. Before I could scribble down some notes and waddle out of the restaurant, the chef asked if I had room for molten lava cake—to which I replied with an overstuffed stomach grumble and an instinctive “always.” The ramekin of oozing dark chocolate can only be described as half-baked brownie batter with a college education. This cake, served right from the oven alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream, undeniably gives any veggie-ridden dessert a run for its money.

witnessed the ever-present workings of Ithaca Bakery.

Upon journeying downtown to the hub of all things baked in Ithaca, I selected this cheesecake for its gently inventive take on a classic dessert. Before even taking a bite, I was swayed by the generous crust to cheesecake ratio. The vanilla bean specked fluffy cheesecake was met with a dense crumble of the graham cracker crust. A subtle aftertaste of goat cheese lingered, yet was nowhere near overwhelming. Mildly sweet and covertly tangy, this dessert pleases both cheesecake lovers and goat cheese enthusiasts alike.

S PYRO G YRA Madeline’s When asking around for restaurant recommendations, I encountered one word again and again: Madeline’s.

Madeline’s, stationed on the corner of Restaurant Row in the Commons, is a lounge, restaurant and the Disneyland of desserts. While there, I sampled their espresso brushed tiramisu, vanilla and chocolate crème brulees, chocolate tulip enclosed Earl Grey chocolate mousse, and a wild blueberry Frangipane tart — all who’s flavors matched their elegantly plated presentation. However, the Spyro Gyra’s alternating vertical towers of flourless chocolate cake and fluffy mocha buttercream undoubtedly takes the cake. The look of amazement on my face following my first bite into the chocolate ganache drenched cake converted the friend I brought along out of her month-long attempt at veganism. And although I just blew her cover, no regrets were to be had that day.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT O TE S T S P I N S alt-J This Is All Yours Infectious Records

O

O Sydney Lester At last! The long-awaited second album of alternative sensation alt-J titled This is All Yours dropped this Monday. To say that this new album is a letdown would be near sacrilegious and a complete lie. However, it is fair to say that the album is not an extension of alt-J’s debut album An Awesome Wave. Don’t fret — there are still many classic elements of alt-J, such as Joe Newman’s angelic voice and electronic grooves. This collection of songs is just mellower than listeners would expect from the high energy of An Awesome Wave.

In classic alt-J fashion, the album starts off with “Intro.” The track begins with a single, repetitive note sung with electronic elements of the piano added in as the song progresses. The track provides a nice transition across albums. A mix of relaxed and consistent beats, it demonstrates the range alt-J has given in the past and where they intend to go with This is All Yours.

Beyond “Intro,” the tracks “Arrival in Nara” and “Leaving Nara” provide pleasant bookends for both the album and the song “Nara.” Perhaps too obviously, the song titles convey to listeners the journey they’re intended to take. “Arrival in Nara” contains delicate piano and guitar along with soothing vocals that are reminiscent of a lullaby. While seemingly odd for the beginning of an album, the bee sound effects at the end hint at the chaos of later tracks. “Nara” itself is a mixture of low energy vocals and medium tempo instrumentality. “Nara” sets the precedence for the dystopian feel of “Leaving Nara,” the penultimate track. With

new and notable music in review O O O O OO O

unrecognizable lyrics and random interludes of piano and static-y bass, the track delves into a deeper pool than the rest of the album dares to wade.

Naturally, the singles must be discussed as they deliver the sound that the band wishes to represent their album and musical progression. Ironically, two of the three singles (the third will be discussed at the start of the subsequent paragraph) don’t accurately portray the direction of This is All Yours. In “Every Other Freckle” the vocals are nearly drowned out by the intricacies of the guitar. The rhythmic percussion, characterized by the cowbell (“We need more cowbell!”) also vies for the attention of the listener. “Hunger of the Pines,” on the other hand, highlights the vocals and intimacy of the lyrics. Miley Cyrus also makes an appearance with her infamous line “I’m a female rebel” from her original song “4x4” repeated in the middle of the track. While both tracks are powerful in their own right, they don’t properly set the tone of the album as singles often do.

“Left Hand Free,” is one of the few songs that really stands out. Evocative of pivotal ‘60s rock (think a more aggressive and synthesized Bob Dylan), this track is more classic rock than listeners are used to hearing from alt-J. “Warm Foothills” is another revelation that makes it possible to fall in love with frontman Newman’s musical genius all over again. Many duets showcasing both male and female voices provide a variety of the two vocalists singing every other line and coming together to sing the same line (often during the chorus).

Aphex Twin Syro Warp Records

Zach Zahos Calling Richard D. James, better known as Aphex Twin, a genius is no bold claim, for it is a largely self-evident one. A self-described “music maker” since his early teens, James has remained unclassifiable while reworking or just straight-up inventing dozens of genres: acid house, glitch, drum and bass, garage, prepared music, ambient techno, ambient ambient, the all-encompassing “braindance.” He does funny-scary things with his face, plastering it on album covers, children (see the “Come to Daddy” EP and music video) and bigbreasted women (ditto “Windowlicker”). He grants few interviews or public appearances, letting the work, and that grin, inspire the obsessive, odd-humored introverts that are his fans.

Yet James’ genius has very much to do with his music, more than his place in and around it. That aesthetic range defines individual Aphex Twin songs as much as his more obvious leaps of style between albums: “Girl/Boy Song” riddles spritely oboe and strings with tommy gun-fast polyrhythms to unexpectedly poignant effect, and that similar chill-crazy tension animates “Alberto Balsalm,” perhaps his most beautiful achievement. Even the songs that repeat ambient motifs over and over, like the 10-minute “Stone in Focus,” don’t do so aimlessly: They provoke mounting introspection as the patient (and again, probably introverted) listener navigates the song’s, and their own, vastness. For all his irreverence, there is arguably no electronic musician as sensi-

tive as Aphex Twin, no one as committed to expressing his interiority through jagged and supple sonic landscapes.

Which brings us to Syro, Aphex Twin’s first studio album in 13 years. This is a satisfying hour-plus of music, visceral and industrious in ways that make you perk your ears and cock your head askew. After almost two dozen listens, I am convinced opening track “Minipops 67” starts before you press play — there is something so insatiable, so slick to its drive that anticipating it becomes as pleasurable as listening.

At the end James incants warbly nonsense, through countless filters of course, and it works because that song’s foundation is already so beyond the limits of intelligible language.

Some, like my roommates and Sun colleagues who have been subject to repeated Syro blastings, will want nothing to do with this music. If Aphex Twin does not compromise to popular trends — even the bumping rave track, “180db_,” sounds like a feral cat got hold of the knobs — he’s not making new ones with this album, either. There’s no formal breakthrough on the level of Richard D James Album opener “4” or anything from Selected Ambient Works Vol. 1 or 2. Syro is a perfection of existing Aphex Twin elements, the whole myriad of them, but it is unlikely to speak to the unconverted.

Poor them, then, because this is the rare album to grow with each listen. On “Xmas_evet10,” Aphex Twin lays down a palpitating drum machine beat and plays with a Guitar

Newman paired with Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst, and British vocalists Marika Hackman and Lianne La Havas to create a masterpiece. While still adhering to the old conventions mentioned above, in select lines every word is taken by a different artist. While in theory this method would seem to be choppy and contain too much discontinuity, all four voices are so soft and melodic that the game of lyric musical chairs works beautifully.

Having a hit first album is always difficult because it’s nearly impossible for the second album to live up to the hype. This is All Yours doesn’t fall flat, but it doesn’t pack the wow-factor from the first listen. More subtle tracks like “The Gospel of John Hurt” and “Lovely Day” take a few more listens to reveal their true worth. That being said, there can be no doubt that This is All Yours is undoubtedly worth playing on repeat. It’s just more of a Sunday afternoon vibe than a Saturday night jam.

Even though the album just dropped, multiple dates of the band’s announced tour are already sold out (including the only show in New York), but are we really surprised? It’s alt-J. However, the dates they’ve released are only from mid-October to mid-November so hopefully they’ll extend their U.S. tour and even grace Ithaca with their presence. Got to have a dream to make a dream come true, right?

Center’s worth of instruments on top of it: out-of-tune upright piano, milky synthesizers and, for a blissful five seconds at the 3:40 mark, crunchy paradiddles. You could say Aphex Twin is just messing around with his reported 138 pieces of gear for 10 minutes and 30 seconds, but the seamless way he phases in and out different sounds gives shape to his madness. Compared to the formulas of most EDM, Aphex Twin’s compositions are classical, of the postmodern sensibility.

“Produk 29” starts in thick funk mode before introducing creepy, Twilight Zone-esque keys and flaring synthesizers.

“Circlont14” fades in on a sparse, celestial soundscape straight out of Forbidden Planet and devolves into rancid glitches and bleeps and bloops that Sun Managing Editor Tyler Alicea ’16 saw fit to describe as “crazy robot sex” (sad to say he wasn’t a fan). After shredding through some extremely technical scales, “Syro U473t8+E” (how fun are these names?) finishes on a fuzzy, groovy outro that I swear features a police whistle once or twice. In every song, Aphex Twin covers a staggering swath of sound that is ecstatic in its excess.

Two tracks near the end of Syro call on the past in order to build to something new. “Papat4” pulses with the bubbly energy of the best off 1995’s ...I Care Because You Do, riding on uplifting ambient texture and, naturally, gnawing it apart with filtered vocals and hyperactive breakbeats. But if that song mashes together its predecessors, then album closer “Aisatsana” whittles them down.

Reminiscent of drukqs pieces “Jynweythek” and the Kanye-sampled “Avril 14th,” “Aisatsana” is a triumph of restraint. With birds chirping outside his window, James sits at his piano and repeats a few permutations of a simple minimalist melody. He allows each phrase to fade to near silence before starting the next, whereupon a little pressure applied to keys breathes life into another world of unconsummated expression. Indebted to Cage, Satie and Chopin, the song is also pure Aphex Twin, for it approaches clarity only through the extremities of sound.

‘I Shall Consider Myself Punk’d’: Sleepy Hollow Returns

BY LINDSAY HAND Sun Contributor

I grew up ten minutes from the town of Sleepy Hollow. It wasn’t quite as exciting as it sounds. I never really paid attention to Washington Irving’s legend beyond the Halloween events planned every year. I knew the general idea of the story, but it just never meant much to me. That is, until COURTESY OF FOX last year, when I discovered Fox’s new retelling of the legend, Sleepy Hollow. I watched the entire first season in less than two days. It was a full-blown binge watch.

The first season told the story of Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), who after being buried during the Revolutionary War wakes up over 200 years later in modern-day Sleepy Hollow, New York.

He befriends Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie), who works for the local police department. The show is mainly focused on the two of them, with some important side characters: Jenny Mills (Lyndie Greenwood), Abbie’s sister; Katrina (Katia Winter), Ichabod’s wife (who is trapped in Purgatory); Frank Irving (Orlando Jones), captain of the police; and Henry (John Noble), a “sin eater.”

Note: spoilers ahead.

Fast forward to the finale, and we find out that Henry is not only Ichabod and Katrina’s son but is also the horseman of war, one of the horsemen of the apocalypse (not to be confused with the horseman of death, who is the famous “headless horseman”). When the three are finally together, Henry buries his father alive and gives his mother to the horseman of death (who, by the way, is her ex-fiancé, Abraham). Talk about an awkward family reunion. Abbie is trapped in purgatory, Jenny is possibly dead and Captain Irving is in custody after confessing to murders he did not commit. The

finale was pretty mind-blowing, so expectations were high going into Season Two. The season two premiere, “This Is War,” starts off a year since the events of the finale: Jenny and Katrina are dead and Henry has been successfully locked up and subdued. But, plot twist, it turns out Abbie’s still in purgatory, Ichabod is still underground, Henry is very much on the loose, Jenny is being interrogated by Henry and

Katrina is being held captive by Abraham, the horseman of death.

Ichabod eventually gets free and retrieves Jenny, and together they search for a key that will allow them to get into purgatory and rescue Abbie. In a series of flashbacks, we learn that Ichabod was Benjamin Franklin’s apprentice and that Franklin’s famous electricity experiments were actually an attempt to destroy the key. After Ichabod’s many promises to Abbie of “I will return for you,” he does, and the two of them make it back out of

purgatory without unleashing the demon king Moloch and his army into the world of the living.

One thing this show does best is balance life-or-death drama with laugh-out-loud humor, and this episode was no exception. I’ll admit to actually having to pause the episode because I was laughing so hard at Ben Franklin’s trite “Don’t be such a prude, Ichabod,” when Ichabod is uncomfortable seeing Franklin completely naked. And, of course, Ichabod’s constant confusion with modern day life — “Is there no end to this birthday madness?” he asks in disbelief when Abbie tells him to blow out the candle on his birthday cupcake. He even finds remnants from his time hard to believe — when Abbie mentions Harvard University, he says “that place still exists?” (Yes, Ichabod, unfortunately it does.)

The episode ends with Moloch rewarding Henry with giant living armor that responds to Henry’s every wish. It lifts a flaming sword as Henry proclaims it “magnificent.” Cue chills as the screen goes black. With the threat of Moloch and his army of the undead still lurking, Henry’s intent for destruction, and the still-unknown fate of Captain Irving, the premiere sets up the season to be a fantastic one. This season also promises the strengthening of Ichabod and Abbie’s friendship, which is in many ways the driving force of the show. Mison and Beharie create this chemistry between two characters who don’t seem like they should get along, and this relationship is truly what makes the show compelling.

So long story short: If you’re not watching Sleepy Hollow, you should be. And if you are watching, then I think we have quite the roller coaster of a season to look forward to. As Henry states, “war is here.”

Ruined Childhoods: Sex Slavery and Spirited Away

E

ver since my Saturday mornings stopped resembling a wholesome General Mills commercial and now more closely resembles, um, Steve Carrell after he’s eaten an entire candle in the Anchorman morning-after debrief, I’ve found that the internet is set on corrupting the cartoons of my childhood. As a wise Yik once Yakked, the day you enter adulthood is the day you realize Spongebob is the shitty neighbor and not Squidward. Fortunately, some of the conspiracy theories out there proposing alternate meanings to childhood cartoons are seriously contrived — hello, Ed Edd and Eddy purgatory theory — and some can only be conceived from the deeplywarped corners of a puppy-hater’s psyche — I’m looking at you, Rugrats stillborn baby theory. Others are relatively benign: Did you know each main character in Spongebob is modeled after one of the seven deadly sins?

Guessing which one’s which is the tough part. But the one that fucked me up real bad is none other than the sex slavery allegory of Spirited Away. We’re no longer dealing with amateur Disney trolls who put a boner in Little Mermaid or write “S-E-X” in the smoky upheaval at Pride Rock. We’re talking the next-level dark depths of a veritable human teddy bear and Japanese Colonel Sanders doppelganger, Hayao Miyazaki.

Presiding over his animation house, Studio Ghibli, like the little nugget of a Geppetto that he is, Miyazaki has delighted audiences with his bright and lovingly detailed youthful fairy tales for six decades.

Spirited Away, far and away the most iconic film of Japanese cinema (suck it, Battle Royale), had not only won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature but also solidified his status in Japan as a goddamn living deity. Miyazaki has been known to

explore other sinister themes in his previous films, including the leprosy metaphor of Princess Mononoke and the Sayama Murder analogy of My Neighbor Totoro. Yet the revelation that Chihiro, the 10-year old female protagonist of Spirited Away, is actually a child prostitute was particularly hard to swallow. However, the very roots of his bathhouse-brothel symbolism run so deep throughout the film that Miyazaki himself has officially corroborated that the tale is indeed a parable for the Japanese sex industry.

The young heroine, Chihiro, and her family get lost on the way to their new home and discover an abandoned amusement park.

In their exploration, Chihiro’s parents get sidetracked by the mysterious food stalls that have suddenly reopened. When Chihiro tries to stop them, they push her away and continue gorging themselves (without paying) until they turn into literal pigs. Here, Miyazaki portrays the debt that her parents have cul-

Alice Wang Profanity Prayers minated for which Chihiro will have to repay when she is sold to the spirit world’s bathhouse. Traditionally in Japanese society, bathhouses have served as whorehouses where a little scrub comes with a happy ending. “Yu” or “hot water,” written on the entrance of the bathhouse, and even ominously on the scrolls of the food stalls, has become synonymous with “prostitution.”

Chihiro is guidPHOTO COURTESY OF TOHO ed by Haku and Lin, who send her to the bathhouse owner, Yubaba.

“Yubaba” translates to “hot water old woman” which is, of course, Japanese slang for a whorehouse’s madam.

Chihiro begs for a job, and Yubaba grants her one, but not before stealing the characters of her name to now call her “Sen.” This was a common name given to prostitutes in the Edo period, and the very act of renaming Chihiro is similar to adopting a prostitute’s alias. Now, Chihiro joins the hoards of other workers at the bathhouse who are called “yuna” or “bathouse sex worker” in Japan. Interestingly, after the release of Spirited Away, Yuna became a popular girl’s name in Japan, until the unsavory alternate meaning of the film forced many to change their daughter’s names. Then, Haku warns that once Chihiro forgets her real name, she is stuck in this spirit world. Analogously, forgetting her name is like forgetting her true identity and losing all purity to the sex industry.

Intentionally (and rather transparently), every worker at the bathhouse, other than the housekeeping frogs, is female, and every patron is a male spirit monster. Working at the bathhouse, Chihiro cleans a grotesque river monster, who rewards her difficult efforts with a coveted magic herbal cake that holds a cleansing power. She is also kind to Kaonashi, a timid No-Face spirit, who then follows her throughout the bathhouse, obsessed with gaining her attention. Here,

Miyzaki portrays Kaonashi as a metaphor for the insatiable libido of a customer. Kaonashi’s frustration causes him to eat everything around him, growing larger and larger, showing how his intense greed manifests itself into a destructive consumption. He showers Chihiro with gold, which she refuses, but Yubaba and the yuna throw themselves over to take. Chihiro gives Kaonashi half of her herbal cake, which causes him to purge everything he ate until he is back to his meek demeanor, and gives the other half to Haku, who is injured from stealing a gold stamp.

Chihiro’s good grace and unending tenacity earn her a ticket back to her parents because she alone is not overcome by greed. Even Lin will sell herself for gold, and Haku not only yearns for Yubaba’s power but also gave up his river form to allow construction of new apartments. All the sources of greed and spiritual pollution come from within the bathhouse-brothel, a place once symbolic for ritual purity, but now marred by the hungers of Japanese society, carnal or otherwise.

Patriots Take Down Oakland on Sunday FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) — Coach Bill Belichick questioned a defensive pass interference penalty against his Patriots.

Raiders coach Dennis Allen didn’t agree with a holding penalty that nullified a potential tying touchdown on the next play.

There was no doubt about the play that followed — an interception by 325-pound defensive tackle Vince Wilfork that ended Oakland’s last chance with 51 seconds left and gave New England the ball at its 11-yard line.

All Tom Brady had to do was kneel down three times and throw an incompletion before time ran out on the heavily favored Patriots’ 16-9 win on Sunday.

“Sometimes you’ve got to grind them out,” New England wide receiver Julian Edelman said after catching 10 passes. “An ugly

win is better than a pretty loss.”

This one was supposed to be easy.

The Patriots (2-1) were coming off a 30-7 win at Minnesota and had won 11 of their previous 12 home openers. The Raiders (0-3) lost their previous game to Houston 34-14 and had lost 14 straight games in the Eastern time zone.

But Oakland led 3-0 on the first of Sebastian Janikowski’s three field goals, a 49-yarder in the first quarter, before New England took a 10-3 lead at halftime on Tom Brady’s 6-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski with 4:41 left and Stephen Gostkowski’s 21-yard field goal on the last play, the first of his three.

“We had some opportunities there to score more points,” Brady said. “There are some teams that are playing really well already. We’re not really doing that offensively yet.”

Keith Olbermann’79 Is Best When Things Are Bad

Cornell alumnus’newest ESPN show has honest, sometimes brutal commentary on the state of sports ZAKOUR

Continued from page 16

Cornellian, Rob Manfred) and introducing a litany of changes to MLB in a ten minute segment. These changes included having World Series games in the day, reinvesting in the RBI program, which encourages baseball in inner cities, pardoning all the Black Sox (“except Gandil”), killing the DH, instating Gil Hodges and Buck O’Neil in the hall of fame and changing the MLB logo to feature the fans.

To open a show, Olbermann gives a long lecture about the power of words versus actual action, vis a vie NFL referee Mike Carey. Carey, we all learned, has not refereed a Redskins game since 2006, as he believes the team name is disrespectful. Olbermann gave a long, reverential, show of support for this.

In another opener, Olbermann invokes a little known rule in baseball, rule 8.04, tearing apart Bud Selig’s hollow complaint about games being too long.

Olbermann takes Selig to task with vigor and bite, with such eagerness, and you know he’s just been biding his time to do so. Olbermann is talking about batters stepping out of the box, but you wouldn’t know it from his purpose. Then reveals his true intent again, his disdain

for the corporatism that has colonized modern sports.

The game’s slow pace to allow for commercial breaks, which Olbermann argues helps the bottom line while hurting baseball in the long run. Olbermann unironically and righteously rails against ESPN and corporations that pays his bills.

I like hearing his opinions because unlike the rest of ESPN’s, his opinions are substantive and grounded in his values.

Righteous indignation is not uncommon in sports talk, usually reminiscing about when pitchers would throw inside, you could hit the quarterback and when men were men. But Olbermann’s indignation is actually, well, righteous. He gives his stump speeches for the soul of sports, Commissioner Goodell for his lax punishment of Ray Rice, the NFL’s mistreatment of women,

the use of ‘Redskins’ as a name (which you can bet on hearing about everyday) and the debacle of the Adrian Peterson case.

Although Olbermann certainly fits some the characteristics of a blowhard, he resembles a real newsman.

Maybe it’s just my time at Cornell, but I like Olbermann. I really do. Not because he’s the most level headed and rational take on sports, which he isn’t, but because he offers a real journalist’s take.

I like hearing his opinions because unlike the rest of ESPN’s, his opinions are substantive and grounded in his values. He spends so much time ripping on the establishment every day that when something heinous actually goes down, I feel I can trust in what he has to say.

Olbermann actually spent the time to lay out the hypocrisy of the NFL and Vikings by contrasting how they handled the benching of Chris Cook, a role player, versus Adrian Peterson, a superstar. Next time horrible happens in a sport you love, watch Olbermann. It’s when he’s at his best.

Detroit Defeats White Sox by Five, Secures Place in the Postseason DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers looked dormant with the bats until a pitch from Chicago’s Chris Sale hit Victor Martinez around the back of his left shoulder.

Then tempers flared, the benches and bullpens emptied — and Sale’s shutout didn’t last much longer.

Martinez came around to score the tying run in the sixth inning, and after Sale came out of the game, Chicago’s bullpen was no match for the Tigers. Detroit won 6-1 on Wednesday — and clinched a spot in the postseason when Seattle lost to Toronto.

The worst the Tigers can end up with now is a wild card.

Getting a real lift

Phillies Defeat the Marlins MIAMI (AP) — Kyle Kendrick pitched seven innings, had three hits and drove in a run, Jonathan Papelbon closed in his first appearance since being suspended and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 Wednesday night.

Papelbon, who completed a sevengame suspension

Sunday, earned his 38th save in 42 chances with a scoreless ninth. Major League Baseball penalized Papelbon because he made a lewd gesture and then bumped an umpire after blowing a save against the Marlins on Sept. 14.

Kendrick (10-13) broke a scoreless tie with two outs in the seventh when he dou-

bled home Darin Ruf. Kendrick also singled twice and hiked his average from .095 to .136.

The right-hander allowed only one run despite giving up five extra-base hits.

Papelbon pitched around a one-out double in the ninth, striking out Enrique Hernandez to end the game.

Q U E S T I O N S

BETHANY DOUGLAS

Assistant Sports Editor and Ten Questions columnist Anna Fasman sat down with senior swimmer Bethany Douglas to talk about everything from twitter to napping.

1. How did you start swimming?

I used to go to swim practice with my sister. I would just sit in the bleachers and I think I was four when I started begging her coach to let me go in the pool with them. I immediately drowned the first time he let me go, but then he would start letting me into her practices every once in a while.

Eventually I just became part of the team and I’ve been swimming ever since, even though it was a rocky start.

I’ve loved it since then.

2. Do you have any pregame rituals?

We do something really fun where we gather up all of the kickboards before we have a big meet. So the night before, at practice, we chuck them across the pool at the other team’s logo, so whoever we’ll be swimming against the next day. That’s really fun and it’s a good way for us all to get revved up and into the mind set. It’s been a tradition forever and we love it.

Anything on your own?

I always have my foam roller and my beats. Those are my two things that I always have with me. I always make sure to have a good pre-meet pump up mix and when we go on trips, like our trip to Puerto Rico, I make sure we have good beats. Lots of cheers too. My favorite’s “Red Hot,” so we do that one all the time.

3. You have over 6,000 tweets on Twitter. Are there any particular tweets that that are some of your best work?

Oh god. Okay. This summer I tweeted something about missing the fact that when you were younger, everyone thought you were a great eater when you ate everything in sight, and I wished that we could go back to that because I would still be considered the world’s best eater. Also something about being nostalgic and feeling sorry for my children who are going to have to have 12 internships by the age of 10 in order to get a job. People love it and favorite it when you talk about your past and get nostalgic.

4. If you could recruit any Cornellian, past or present, to be the on swim team, who would you choose and why?

He’s a classic, but Bill Nye [’77] could probably figure out a good way for us to swim faster and help us all be more high tech and aerodynamic in the pool. He’d probably be a good asset to the team, maybe not with his own swimming capabilities but by micromanaging from the side.

5. What is your favorite place on campus?

Probably Bartels. If I’m not squatting, I am not a happy girl. Squat or die. Bartels, even at six in the morning, I’m still in love with it. I’m also the librarian of Mann. It’s my favorite, I’m always there, third floor.

6. Are you involved in anything else besides swimming on campus?

I’m on the eboard for the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and I love it. It’s a bunch of athletes who come

together and are representatives of their teams. I’m the media relations person, so I get to use my twitter skills to help promote things. I’m also in Pi [Beta| Phi — love my Pi Phi sisters. I’m also a student coordinator at Cornell Fitness Centers. I run training classes so if you want to sign up to work with us, it’s really fun.

7. Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?

My hobby right now is finding cool places to nap on campus. I have literally napped on the first, second, third floor and basement of Mann, first, second and third floor of Olin and Trillium. Trillium is harder, but if you’re in there at the right time and there’s not too many people and it’s just quiet enough where you can find a good nap spot. … Also Catherwood. Those little nesting spots.

So yeah, that’s my hobby right now since things are kind of crazy on campus. It’s good to find a good place to nap.

8. If you could join any other Cornell sports team, which one would you choose and why?

That’s an easy one, everyone knows this. I would want to be on the gymnastics team, hands down. I can do a split so I think that warrants it a little, but probably not. I do [splits] all the time and I admire [the girls on the team]. I think they’re the coolest people ever. I don’t really know too many gymnasts, but if I got a chance to be on the team, I definitely would take it. I’m strongly debating taking intro to gymnastics next semester.

Me too!

Good, we’ll take it together. Live

out my gymnastics dreams. McKayla Maroney favorited one of my tweets this summer and my life was kind of made. This is sort of a tangent but she came to Nationals this summer, but she wasn’t in California when I was still doing club swimming. So I tweeted “classic McKayla Maroney shows up after club swimming.” Then she favorited my tweet and I was so excited about it.

9. What would you say has been a highlight of your Cornell career, either through swimming or otherwise?

Another hands down one.

Definitely when we beat Princeton last year. I still get goosebumps talking about it. For the first time in Cornell history, we beat Princeton and it was crazy. The amount of voices you could hear in Teagle while you were swimming, it was piercing. It was so exciting and we all just had so much fun as a team. We want to keep riding that wave and trying to be where we were last year and just kill it.

10. Ryan Lochte vs. Michael Phelps — who do you prefer?

Ryan Lochte definitely because he signed my bag when I was 12 before he was really cool. He signed my bag in the middle of a hurricane while we were at a meet in Florida. Everyone was evacuating the pool and I was like “Hey! Can you sign my bag?” So he did. Also, he didn’t take a year off like Phelps did, so I appreciate him for not being a slacker.

He has way better swag — he’s got cool shoes so definitely him.

Runners toTravel to Boston Both teams will run the Boston College Invitational on Friday

By WESLEY ROGERS Sun Staff Writer

This Friday, Cornell’s men’s and women’s cross country teams will head to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts for the Boston College Invitational. The meet follows only weeks after big wins from both the men’s and women’s teams in their season opening meets at Army. Although both teams had a strong start to their seasons, Friday’s invitational is predicted to be one of the most competitive meets of the season on both sides.

On the men’s side, Ivy rivals Columbia, Dartmouth and Harvard, as well as their Northeast rivals Providence and Syracuse, make up the opposition. All of these teams were able to notch victories against the Red last season.

According to Assistant Coach Zeb Lang, “[These schools] always field excellent teams.”

With this in mind, Lang said he is looking forward to sending the guys out there and putting forth a solid effort, which Lang predicts will measure the teams progress at this point in the season.

This year’s team has solid veteran leadership, with 10 of the 12 participants from last year’s conference meet returning. Lang said he is confident that although they will be facing strong competition this season, the team has the right attitude to handle these upcoming challenges.

For the women of the Red, Friday’s meet is expected to be highly competitive, as nine of the top 10 teams in the Northeast region will be present. In addition, six of the top 30 nationally ranked teams will also be running in the event.

This said, according assistant head coach Artie See CROSS COUNTRY page 14

SPRINT FOOTBALL

Red toTake On Quakers On the Road Friday Night

By ADAM BRONFIN Sun Contributor

On the surface, it may seem like not a lot has changed about the Cornell sprint football team since it lost to the University of Pennsylvania last season. Save for a couple of additions and losses, the current Red may appear to be just like the 2013 team that allowed the Quakers over 500 yards of offense. But dig a little deeper and many differences become clear.

“We’re a really close team. We play really hard for one another,” said sophomore running back Kevin Nathanson. “This year in particular, we’re very close. I just think, in my mind, this is what separates us from other teams.”

Sophomore cornerback Ryan Jackson echoed this sentiment, noting positive change within the defensive line.

“Last year we were all coming from different places, so we hadn’t

worked together as a defense,” he said. “It’s a cohesive defensive unit this year.”

This was evident as the Red was able to work together for a dominant 28-7 victory over Franklin Pierce last Saturday. Cornell ran past the Raven’s defense last week, out rushing them 204 yards to 35. It held the Ravens scoreless after the first quarter, as it avenged last year’s 13-6 defeat. Hoping to take advantage of its momentum, Cornell sprint football will travel to Penn to face the Quakers on Saturday night.

The Red will go up against the Quaker offense, ranked first in the Collegiate Sprint Football League last season, averaging 397 yards per game. Penn also (1-0) scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter last Saturday to beat Mansfield 14-13. Led by senior running back Mike Beamish, the Quakers look to build on last year’s success, when they finished 5th in the CSFL.

Tight knit | Kevin Nathanson says he is excited about this year’s team dynamic.

Containing Beamish is one of the Red’s major goals for Saturday’s game, according to Jackson. If the Red’s game last weekend is any indicator, however, then the defense seems prepared for the challenge. In 34 rushing attempts, Franklin Pierce was limited to only one yard per See FOOTBALL page 14

ou may or may not have heard, but a certain Cornellian is on TV a whole lot now. His name is Keith Olbermann ’79.

Keith Olbermann has a relatively new, hour-long show that runs weekdays at 11 p.m., fittingly called Olbermann. He does the usual sports personality shtick, espousing his opinions on sports and narrating highlights. It is worth noting that Olbermann’s baseball highlights are actually significantly longer than ESPN’s SportsCenter, and actually give you a sense of the game and story lines that develop within it. He has his share of guest appearances, although they tend to be his old friends and from the pop culture side of the sports world.

Olbermann feels like living history on ESPN, like Chris Berman or Bob Ley. But unlike Berman or Ley, Olbermann left the mothership and his return has a prodigal son feel. As such, Olbermann is different.

He sticks out and rails against the establishment. And it is clear he loves sports. Keith, more than any other personality or talking head, seems to personify the love of the game. He may even love his job and he certainly loves to talk.

Olbermann uses a litany of voices and jokes, but some of them don’t land. In fact, a lot of his humor is repetitive (“he hit it real hard,” “bye Felisha,” his John Sterling pseudo impression of home runs) and isn’t exactly Louis C.K. material. But it’s part of the charm and ambiance. Everything is very Keith. Watching Olbermann, it’s clear you’re watching the uniform and

John Zakour Point Blank coherent idea of many emanating from one man.

The only uncontroversial thing to say about Olbermann is that he generates a lot of controversy among sports fans. Olbermann masquerades as a classic “love him or hate him” sports personality, but he’s more than that.

Olbermann is different. Much like a radio man or fight pilot, Olbermann is a solo act. As the camera pulls tight on Keith, behind our host is the skyline of New York, not a static set. It’s the actual view of the city, alive and well and dynamic. There’s no crew or side kicks — it’s just Keith for the better part of an hour.

His opening monologues are usually talking, or rather grandstanding, right into the camera with enough intensity to burn a hole through the viewer in the process. He’s not talking politics anymore, but Olbermann’s vigor and zeal has followed him back into the sports world (as did his ‘Worst Person in the World segment’).

It’s not your usual brand of sports talk or “hot takes.” Olbermann has a distinct historical and academic tinge. To say he leans liberal is like saying Alex Rodriguez is a bit unpopular. Olbermann references James Thurber and 19th century baseball along with Arrested Development. Once a critic of Olbermann, I’ve become a regular viewer. In the short amount of time he’s been back on TV, he’s lectured on the death of Tom Mees, the NFL’s lack of discipline for Ray Rice domestic violence and the class of Joe Torre. And he does lecture. But this liberal, academic and historical filter acts as ESPN’s moral compass. Olbermann is searching for the soul of sports in the the overly corporate landscape of American pro sports.

There was no better example of Olbermann being Olbermann than his press conference acting as baseball’s new commissioner (taking the place of another See ZAKOUR page 14
