BEIJING-Capping a rocky but peace-ful transition of power, China's rulingCommunist Party on Sunday easedformer paramount leader Jiang Zemin

out of his last formal postas head of the militaryand gave full control of

the nation's armedforces to PresidentHu Iintao.

The move ele-vated the 61-year-old Hu to undis-puted command ofthe state, the partyand the armedforces, consolidat-

ing his power.Hu. replaced Jiang

as party chief in2002, and becamepresident in 2003.But Hu found him-

self dueling with Jiang, who still re-tained control of-the 2-million-strongarmed forces, and his followers, whoare widely known as the "ShanghaiClique" for their pO!Nerbase in China'sbiggest city. .

The 78-year-old Jiang, who led Chinafrom 1989 until early 2003, was notdue to quit as chairman of the CentralMilitary Commission for another threeyears. The position allowed him con-trol of the world's largest military.

His sudden and somewhat unexpect-ed departure marks a sharp genera-tional shift, and is likely to clear the wayfor Hu to focus on his own policy priori-ties: the growing gap between rich andpoor, rampant corruption, and socialupheaval coinciding with China's gal-loping economic growth and growingworld stature.

PORTLAND, Ore.-John Edwards;the Democratic candidate for vicepresident, isn't doing his job.

A vice presidential nominee tradi-tionally is his campaign's hit man,landing the verbal punches in the nose,and occasionally below the belt, in or-der to let the presidential nominee riseabove such uncouth brawling.

What bothers me is not theseven minutes President Bushstalled on Sept. 11, 2001, read-ing "My Pet Goat" to gradeschoolers. It's the three yearsthat came after the seven min-utes:

Three years of stonewallingevery attempt to identify mis-takes.

Threeyears ofexploiting griefand fear for political gain.

Three years of terror preven-tion on the cheap.

Throughout the RepublicanNational Convention, we heardendlessly about Bush's briefshining moment. Yes,he visitedGround Zero on Sept. 14 (as ifno other president would havebeen so bold). Yes,he hugged afirefighter. Yes, through a bull-horn, he promised, "The peo-ple who knocked down thesebuildings will hear from all ofus soon."

But what have the terroristsheard from us, really? Whatmessage has been sent by ouractions and inactions?

Message One: We aren't pre-'pared to learn from our mis-takes. In fact, 'we don't evenwant to know what they are.The Bush White House had tobe shamed by victims' familiesto allow the 91ll Commissionto proceed. Then it had tobe shamed into cooperatingwith it. Our president, whenpressed, could not think ofeven one mistake he has made.Yetnearly everyone who pointsout some of those mistakes has

:.1

been personally smeared, up toand including intimations oftreason. Vice President Cheney ,even suggested last week that avote for John Kerry is a vote foranother terrorist attack.

Message Two: Fighting ter-ror isn't as important as bring-ing government bacon home tothe district. Homeland securityhas become the latest pork-bar-rel trough, with priorities set bypolitics, not need: The state ofWyoming (Cheney again) is'so flush with cash, it JUSl pur-chased a $150,00(1bomb-han-dling robot, while New YorkCity continues to receive asmall fraction of the money itneeds. .

Message 'Three: We aren'twilling to sacrifice much - ex-cept some constitutional rights- to be safer.

Name any 'part of terror pre-vention, we're underfunding it.We aren't spending the moneyto secure our ports. screen thecargo that comes through them,beef up resources for "rust re-sponders," regulate chemicalplants or make public trans-portation safer. We haven't suf-ficiently increased efforts toprevent nuclear weapons fromplaces like Russia, Pakistanand North Korea from fallinginto the hands of al-Qaida,

Not only that, ari internalWhite House memo leaked thisspring showed plans for mas-sive cuts in security spend-ing - after the election. We'vealready blown the money weneed on tax cuts for the wealth-iest Americans.

Message Four: For political

reasons, we've switched fo-cus away from the people whoattacked us three years ago.President Bush didn't evenmention Osama bin Ladenduring his acceptance speech.Instead, the administrationcontinues spouting the fictionthat Saddam Hussein had apart in the Sept. 11 attacks, andthat the losses oftime, treasureand humanity in the Iraq mis-adventure are a central part ofa war on the people who hurtus.

No doubt the misleadingrhetoric is effective here athome, but al-Qaida knows thetruth: Some terror-fighting de-cisions are based not on what'sbest for our security but onwhat looks best on Fox News. Ifthat's not giving aid, it surely isgiving comfort to the enemy.

America needs a different setof messages: We need to makeit clear by our actions that we'lllearn from mistakes, that we'reup for the sacrifice, that weknow who our most danger-ous enemies are - and that wewon't dilute our efforts to crushthem.

John Kerry is the only per-son who credibly can deliverthat message. Al-Qaida needsto hear - again - from all of ussoon.

The Ramones revolution-ized the rock music of the time,which was dominated by over-produced songs sung by ri-diculously dressed rock starswith big hair and makeup.The Ramones provided ener-getic music, produced in littlemore than a garage. They woreragged jeans and black leatherjackets.

Their music sounded likemelodic 1950s be-bop tunescranked up to a frenetic pace.Their lyrics could be downrightsilly, yet fun to think about even

today.In one song, the Ramones

wrote about the four rules of aCommando:

"First rule is: The laws ofGermany;

"Second rule is: Be nice tomommy;

"Third rule is: Don't talk tocommies;

"Fourth rule is: Eat kosher sa-lamis."

Political? Only in a bizarresort of way. The Ramones-only drummer Tommy is stl1lalive-were inducted into theRock and Ron Han of Fame in2002. That was wen deserved,but they never took themselvestoo seriously.

Their music offered pure,harmless fun. It's not a bad leg-acy.

Dear Editor:

I recently heard of LarryKirkwood's pending BSU showof his Body Image Project torsocasts. Although I understandthat my position may be sus-pect, due to my male gender,-I have to say I applaud such arespectable artist's work. LarryKirkwood has taken this mig-sion on for the past eleven years,and has cast almost 500 torsosof women and men since 1993.

Gender is a social constructand is quite different fromone's biological sex. As such,it is subject to a wide range ofcultural factors - l.e., malesare no more protected frombody image stereotypes thanfemales. Although males have

, more access to socially accept-

able "tools" that allow them tomodify their image (money,social standing, even clothingthat exaggerates the male im-age), the male torsos depictedin Mr. Kirkwood's work havebeen stripped of all such con-ventions. All of the torsos canbe appreciated as true works ofart -: regardless of the subjects'....:;,.I.......;,. ...l.,nvu ...vJ.ufj .......u.--..-- ~

I have no doubt ofthe benefitlent to the women who partici-pate and view Mr. Kirkwood'swork; similarly I have no doubtof the benefit men will gainfrom viewing the same work.Ultimately. I hope such shows(executed by both male and fe-male artists) will act as a cata-lyst to change our envy-driven;image-conscious culture intoone that will accept a person

for who they truly are - not justwhat they look like from theoutside.

I hope for the day when anartist is not judged by his orher gender, nor llmited in hisor her artistic expression due tothe too-narrow view of critics.With the Women's Center's re-cent sponsoring of the AnnualNational Iuried A_I"!.F.yhib!t!o!.1Celebrating Women's HistoryMonth (open to female art-ists only) and its commitmentto the Body Image Project, theCenter must be commended forits broad consensus buildingaround the subjectofgendeL

-So,anywayBY TRRUIS ESTUOLD

Lost pets, spilled wine and obsceni-ties? Must be a wedding!

I went home to Oregon this pastweekend. I should say I went to thehome of my parents and friends fromhigh school. As I'm constantly tellingpeople (which means I've done it a totalof two times), I firmly believe that homeis where your stuff is. Since I have all mybelongings, including tee ball trophiesand twenty-year old photos of me in thebathtub in boxes in the basement of ahouse down the street from this univer-sity, I guess I could say that my home isnow in Boise.

The reason for traveling this time: mybest friend, Ben. was getting married.Holy buh-jeezus, what an event! It wasthe first of my friends' weddings thatI've been able to attend. I never realizedthe amount of stress a wedding putson its participants. I personally didn'tpanic a single time the entire weekend,though there would have been ampleopportunity for me to do so. (Especiallywhen helping to cut about 85 pounds ofsalmon at 2 a.m. the night prior to theevent.) I was pretty much brought in asa calming influence for the groom, asfine-tuning your nuptials at the 11thhour can be quite an undertaking. Iwas able to help him shrug off every po-tential devastating obstacle with littlemore than a deep breath.

However, here is what made the week-end interesting to me ...

[~ C~'.One of the couple's two cats. .:ran away the night before the

wedding. Oddly enough, atthe nib t recent wedding I went to thissummer, a cat ran away the day of theceremony. The bride then was in fitsand crying. This time, I reassured ev-eryone that I was sure the cat was justsleepingoff a hangover from a pre-wed-ding party. Not sure, but I think they

bO::~t ~lt.1had what seemed to be the ~".'..'.•.•('cD ".1 bulk of a bottle of red. wine :l.L~rl· spilled all over my khakis.

Really, nobody cared about that exceptmy mother, who kindly poured boil-ing water onto the pants to remove anytrace of stain the following day. Luckily,I was no longer wearing the pants.

C::'r'j ~IMuch to the delight of thec', t groom's Uncle Doug, and af-

\:;:!J f ter only half a glass of cham-pagne, I, elt bold enough to get up onone of the picnic tables during the re-ception and dance around. Twice.

I{ I~·. 11[· .... The best man was .a lesbian.c., :; n To my knowledge, It was the

j first time I've been to a wed-ding wlfere the groom and the best manactually had gone on a date once, albeitoccurring back in elementary school.

hSJ ]'1'. I think the stress of a wed-~.' ." ding hits the bride the hard-~:!.J . est. Watching this bride dur-

ing setu~ about two hours prior to theceremony was much like attending aSam Kinison stand-up routine. If this isconfusing to you then watch a tape of aSam Kinison stand-up routine.

So anyway, I'm not sure how I feelabout weddings now. For the mostpart, they are beautiful and an excel-lent opportunity for family and friendsto get drunk together. It's just stress-in-duced Tourette's. and the embarrassingthings that I do on tables at weddingsthat worry me. Oh well, it's not like theyhave any of it onvideo. Aw.crap.

Last Sunday some Hltf~n~stingaudm frequencies r-euarber at.ed off the wallsand cour-sed t.hruuqh the cruurd at JD and Frrende: sounds that I'm not ac-custnmed t!]--·~sounds 'UH0lt had me listening intent.ly. The DJ spinning had mefI~)ht. tUhEH'(1 he uisnt.ed me--thlnkHlg, III'ue neuer heard trus before." Our uerytJUJnPat Benulkm. student r adro leader, was Just that DJ.

Electronica is much more thanthump-thump-thumping and con-trolled flailing oftechno- dancers onthe dance floor. Some people gener-alize it as dance music, but really, thethumping and its accompanied flail-ing is most likely attached to a reg-ularly club played sub-category ofelectronic a known as 'house music:The complexity of electronic musicis quite amazing, its history is richlyEuropean, richly American, and itssoul-birthed in the underground.

Not too long ago, twenty-year-oldBenolkin discovered the genre. In2001, raves were big in Boise (beforea lot of their facilitators made theirway to prison for "alternative life-styles"), and 'techno' found itselfflourishing among Boise's oddityof mainstream ravers. Jeremy Shay,another student radio dj and longtime friend of Benolkin's, delved fullforce into the music and its scene.He started mixing on his own "cheapturntables," which sparked morethan an interest in Benolkin. "Hewas living at a house with a bunch ofmy friends, and me and another guybrought our turntables over to hishouse and he seemed to like it, andnext thing I knew, he had some turn-tables," said Shay, Sunday night at JDand Friends. .

The seduction of electronic a wasfast and sweet for Benolkin, "It blewme away when Iheard "Trip Hop", be-cause I thought it was all house mu-sic. Ididn't know that you could comedown in speed." Ever since, he's beenexploring and mixing music. In whatcould be described as an addiction,he found himself blowing eighty dol-lars at the Record Exchange, feedinghis craving for new music. In the be-ginning. he mainly mixed house, buthis fascination with the "chill side"of electronic a grew. "I want peopleto know that there is more than what

can be heard in clubs everywhere.It's the music I listen to at home, soI have been focusing more recentlyon sharing that with the public..When I started deejaying in 2001•.I started mixing house, breakbeatand all the popular stuff. That wasone of my favorite genres and still is,but now Imix the downtempo, triphop, hip hop-stuff that is not fast. Ikind of realized that not a lot ofpeo-pie in town are spinning this stuff;there are a few-but not a lot. I wantpeople to know this is what they aregoing to get when they see my nameon a flier."

Benolkin began mixing in the,privacy of his own home. Over thelast three years, his unique style hasopened doors. Every Friday, from7-10 p.m. (except when he playsPoblanos; then he plays from 6-9p.m.), Benolkin can be found at theRecord Exchange spinning little-known vinyls and showing custom-ers how they can get their hands onthem. He doesn't work there. Theylike what he spins, and he likessharing. In October, you can findhim three Fridays out of the monthdeejaying at Poblanos from 10 p.m.to 11:30p.m. in downtown Boise.

Benolkin loves music; there isno doubt about that. When he wasyounger, he wanted to be in a rockband, but after working more withradio, and mixing two of his ownCDs, he's leaning more towardsmusic production. The truth is thatwhether deejaying takes him some-where, or he ends up producing-Benolkin has passion. He loves whathe plays, and he plays what he loves.Ifany soul has the slightest desire tohear some rich electronic a, they arethe soul that should check out PatBenolkin spinning, and they willnot regretit.

The Samples, a five-man en-semble, are often described as anearthy Sting-meets-the GratefulDead band. Singer/guitarist SeanKelly and bassist Andy Sheldonare both Vermont natives who be-gan playing together in the mid-80s. In 1987, Kelly and Sheldonheaded west to Boulder, Colo.and found a drummer, keyboard-ist, and a third guitarist to createThe Samples.

The Samples were originallyscheduled to play at the, Big EasyConcert House, but event orga-nizers moved the show upstairsto the Bourbon Street Saloon dueto low ticket sales. Despite thechange in venue, the band deliv-ered a great performance. Thelounge, with red and blue lightsand imitation flames, provided amore intimate atmosphere for theband and crowd to interact. Withkeyboards, drums, three guitars,a tambourine, and a harmonicajamming throughout Sundaynight's show, concertgoers hadtrouble staying in their seats.

The crowd had a well-balancedmale/female ratio. Though themajority of the crowd ranged inage from 21 to early 30s, it was

Pain iSIwarning signal •.

{Help is on the way.}Some of the audience membersbrought their children right up tothe front of the stage. Maybe sixor seven years of age, the childrendanced at times, and they did notseem out of place, neither did thesix and a half foot tall man wear-ing corpse-paint and a trenchcoat standing next to them. Themisconception of goth people isthat they are aggressive and un-approachable. Although, I con-tend that they are very politeand respectful people that justhave the hobby of looking unap-proachable; I would guess thatmost of the audience at the BlackTape show, represents the core ofthe goth scene in Boise. Ifso, it hascommanded a bit of a following.If any are interested, visit night-spun.net to get more involved ingatherings such as Black Tape fora Blue Girl.

The last song of the set was aDavid Bowie cover of "GroundControl to Major Tom." Rosenthalleft the stage and took picturesfrom the floor. As Helm fin-ished the final lines of the song,Rosenthal meandered throughthe audience as a proud fathermight enjoy the limelight, vicari-ously.

Girl went on at The Venue lastSunday night, the crowd mount-ed at the front of the stage. Thesound quality ofthe show was theglaring success. Bret Helm's vo-cals sound as crisp as the record,if not more so. The live songs donot differ in sound much fromthe albums themselves. This isno feat if one were at a show thathad millions of dollars to spendon sound control, monitors andother equipment. Black Tape hadtheir main sound guy on stage'with them, Sam Rosenthal. Asthe creator/mastermind behindBlack Tape for a Blue Girl, he fillsin all the sound gaps. Every bril-liant texture coming through onthe CD is also coming throughonstage. The high points werewhen ail instruments, after slowlyswelling, would rise up and floodthe room. The piercing notescame from the electric guitarand the miraculously mic'd handdrum. Bret Helm and Nicki Iaine,both on vocals, were restrainingand releasing the music's power.Rosenthal, in the background,was taking care of everyone.

The crowd was very receptiveof the band. Just as Rosenthalsaid, there really was room forany kind of person at the show

CHRIS RLTERSCulture Writer

Boise State welding instruc-tor, Juan Martinez, will representBoise State University on a na-tionallevel. He is set to appear onthe Discovery Channel program,Monster Garage on Monday,Sept. 27 at 7 p.m, Monster Garageis hosted by famed motorcyclecustom designer/builder JessieJames. "Essentially what hedoes," Martinez explained, "hetakes five builders from aroundthe country, throws them in ateam environment and theyhave a week to build." Within theteam, "each member has a spe-cial field of expertise." Martinezwas brought in as an expert inmetals fabrication.

Every build is a transforma-tion. Past episodes have seenthe creations of a fire-truck-beerbrewery, a cop car mobile do-nut shop, a 1990 Ford MustangGT lawnmower, a Ford Explorergarbage truck and a whole listof off-the-wall mechanical mas-terpieces. Martinez could notget specific about the project hewas involved with because theshow has not yet aired, but he didpromise that it would be, "the'funniest Monster Garage madeyet. The content and subjectmatter lends itself for some greathumor," he said.

According to Martinez, theshow was fun and a lot of hardwork but it was also a humblingexperience. "TheMonsterGaragestudio is down on AnaheimBoulevard in the heart of theLong Beach ghetto. I grewup in a,neighborhood just like that. Andnow for me to come full circleto go to this ghetto neighbor-hood as a representative of Boise!State University, representingthe welding trade ... here I am re-turning to the ghetto as an awardwinning welding instructor .. .Ican leave a neighborhood likethat, come full circle, and comeback to that neighborhood as atransformed person." Martinezexplained that Jessie James isalso known for his positive roleand contributions towards hiscommunity and for his work withat-risk youth.

Jessie James is something of apop-culture icon with his hugelysuccessful program "West CoastChoppers". His success provesthat good old-fashioned hardwork can payoff. "He's actu-ally saving our trade," explainsMartinez, who was the recipi-ent of the American WeldingSociety's National Image ofWelding Educator Award in April.

Juan Martinez puts the finishing touches ~~\'I;latast metal workrl1lTfU BY nm.Y Dr.sUfli111~ AIlDlTf.1I •

"Allof my young students in herewant to be like Jessie James. He'shad a hell of an impact on all ofthe trades." Martinez describesJames' approach to welding andmetal fabrication as "new school"because of his creative and inno-vative techniques,

Boise State University's Collegeof Applied Technology is gearedtowards teaching students theskills that are showcased onJessie James' program. Buildingcars and motorcycles, or rework-ing them, is part of what theydo. The students who enroll inthese classes come from all back-grounds and cultures. Martinezexplains, "I'm trying to preparemy students for the real world."Like Jessie James, he encouragescreativity but at the same time,he says, "I'm demanding on theircraftsmanship." He hopes thisatmosphere will inspire his stu-dents to create works that are"different and fresh and new."

Martinez sees a more impor-tant principle at work within histrade. "I'm a firm believer thatthrough art, whether it's the spo-ken word, visual arts or grafittiarts ... the young people need achance to express and identify

themselves in apositive manner."His participation in "MonsterGarage" was an opportunity toreach. out to students with thatbelief. "This is an honorable andnoble task to represent Idaho,"Martinez said.

Martinez hopes to have a posi-tive impact on our communitythrough his art. Last spring, heworked with the Nampa Boys andGirls club in a gang interventionprogram that blossomed into "across-cultural and socio-eco-

. nomic" art program. Martinezhelped inspire a group of·youngpeople who created a metal arch-way sculpture in Pioneer Park inCaldwell. "They have overcomestereotypes and learned to cometogether as a team," he said.

On September 27, from 6-8p.m. in the Farnsworth roomin the Student Union Building,the BSU Cultural Center plansto celebrate Martinez's accom-plishments with the airing of"Monster Garage". "Everyone isinvited." Martinez said. Therewill be' plenty of food and fun.Admission is free. For furtherinformation, and to R.S.v.P,call426-5950.

Broncos hottest ticketin town, host BYUtomorrow night

BY TREUOR HORNSports Writer

For the second time in threeweeks the Boise State Broncosfootball team will play on a Fridaynight on ESPN. Coincidently,the Broncos (21" in both ESPNIUSA Today Coaches and theAssociated Press Poll) will also behosting a team a week after thatteam played a defending co-na-tional championship team.

Twoweeks ago the Broncos (3-0,1-0Western Athletic Conference)beat Oregon State 53-34 lessthan a week after the Beaverslost a heartbreaker to LSU. Thisweek the BYU Cougars (1-2, 0-o Mountain West Conference)come to town, last week losing toUSC42-10 last Saturday in Provo,Utah.

Tomorrow night at 8:07 p.m.locally, the Broncos will look todefend their nation leading 20-game win streak, and the longestcurrent winning streak in the na-tion at 14 games in front of a na-tionally televised audience onESPN.

The Broncos are "Coming off awin over UTEP on the road thatlooks much better on paper thanit actually was.

For the third time in their lastfour games, the Broncos fell to adouble-digit deficit. in the firstquarter-this time to the Miners.The Broncos were able to recoverand lead at halftime in all three,but it is the lack of consistencyat the beginning of games thathas been the Achilles heel forthe team early this season. JaredZabransky did throw for a career-high 392 yards, but he threw twointerceptions and fumbled twiceon the goal line, but thankfullyfor the Broncos, both were recov-ered on scoring drives.

The Cougars are coming inon a low note from the past twoweeks after posting a win thatlooks huge now as we go deeperinto the season. BYUstarted theseason at home with a close winover Notre Dame. At the time,the Irish looked like they maynot have the program rebuilt, butsince have knocked off .jugger-nauts, Michigan and MichiganState. Since that game for theCougars, they were drubbed byStanford 37-10 on the road, andwere no match for top-rankedUSC in Provo last week.

Zabransky and tha BSU squad go up against BVU tomorrow In a sold out game. PIIIJ11lDY!iT'lItrYum:wsrm

Led by senior punter MattPayne, the Cougars look like ateam that is struggling to find itsway. Payne was named the MWCspecial teams player of the weekon Monday. The second time hehas been honored this season,and the fifth time in his career.The 6 foot, 4-inch, 238-poundNorth Ogden, Utah, native isthird in the nation with 47.0yardsper punt this season.

The Cougars have been out-scored by nearly twenty pointsper game this season, which isnot promising for them as theBroncos are tied for first in the na-

tion in scoring. Not only are theyleading the nation in scoring, theBroncos are ranked either first orsecond in every offenslvecatego-ry in the WAC.

This season is also turning outto be the hottest ticket in town.Student section tickets sold outin about six hours for the OregonState game. On Monday, the tick-ets came and went in less thanthree hours, while there were stillhundreds in line waiting for tick-ets.

Both home games this seasonhave been back-to-back recordcrowds at Bronco Stadium, and

tomorrow night is shaping up tobe the same situation.

Last season at LaVell EdwardsStadium, the Broncos beat theCougars 50-12 in the first meet-ing between the two schools.

The Broncos will not only belooking to extend the home win-ning streak and the overall win-ning streak, but also a perfectrecord on ESPN televised games,10-0, and a perfect record againstMountain West Conference foes,6-0. So if you weren't able to get aticket, tune in to ESPN at 8:07 forkickoff and watch as the Broncoslook to stay undefeated in 2004.

[c 0 Iu-m-ri]-----Week two intheNt'l. was

full of surprisesBY RMBER FU,GER

Sports Writer

gest fumble return in history forthe Bears. Although the Packerslost, Brett Favre still managedto break an NFL record of DanMarino's of '24 touchdownsagainst a single opponent. ThePackers find themselves 1-1los-ing their second home opener.The Bears also find themselves1-1 after losing in week one toDetroit.

The Detroit Lions have turnedsome heads these first twoweeks of the season going 2-0for the first time since 2000 andending the longest road losingstreak in the NFL. What aboutthe "J E T S, Jets, Jets, Jets," put-ting the ghost stories to restwith their hot September start?This season marks the first timein 11 seasons that the New YorkJets have gone 2-0. The Jets beatthe Buffalo Bills (0-2) 13-10 inweek one with a game-winningtouchdown as the clock ranout in the fourth quarter. LastSunday the Jets humbled theSan Diego Chargers (l-I) 34-28.

No one can forget the reju-venated quarterback of theAtlanta Falcons, Michael Vick.Vick's ability to use his speedand his throwing capabilitiesled the Falcons to a 34-17 victo-ry over the SI. Louis Rams. Vickran for 109 yards and threw for179yards against the Rams. TheFalcons are 2-0 while the Ramsare 1-1.

Football season is likeChristmas for some fans andthe gifts keep on coming. Weektwo's results put some ghoststo rest and made the wishes oflongtime Bears fans come true.Records were broken and losingstreaks ended while the defend-ing Super Bowl champions theNew England Patriots prolongedtheir winning streak to 17.

Crisp fall mornings, your fa-vorite teams paraphernaliaplastered to your wardrobe,and the day when it is okay havebeer for breakfast and breakfastfor lunch. NFL Sundays are infull swing and fans awake eachSunday ready to scream at theTV with visions of quick feet,hard hits, and long passes. Whatwill the rest ofthe season bring?It's tough to predict. The oneprediction that is easy to makeis that more surprises are sureto come as the 2004 NFL seasoncontinues.

Some might say that the big-gest surprise in the NFL forweek two was the Jerry Ricestory. For the first time in 274games, Rice was held without acatch. Others ..light say that theCarolina Panthers victory overthe Kansas City Chiefs was thebiggest surprise as the Pantherswent into game day missingStephen Davis and Steve Smith,the team's top two offensivethreats. How about Detroit go-ing 2-0 for the first time since2000?

The majority of football fanswould have to say that the big-gest surprise was when theChicago Bears beat the GreenBay Packers at Lambough FieldSunday. Yes, Lovie Smiths wishcame true. On Jan. IS, Smith de-clared that his number one pri-ority as head coach for the Bearswas to beat the Packers. Thisvictory marks the third time theBears have defeated the Packersin their last 21 meetings.

When Smith prioritized hisgoals he claimed he knew howto knock off the Packers. As de-fensive coordinator for the St.Louis Rams, Smith paid atten-tion as the Packers commit-ted 10 turnovers their last twomeetings.

As head coach for the Bears heput his observations and turn-over strategy to the test. TheBears aced that test andclinchedthe victory against their archri-vals. "The Bears turned turn-overs into touchdowns inLarnbough," said SportsCenteranchor Linda Cohn. The inspi-ration for this statement camefrom Brett Favre's two intercep-tions and a fumble by AhmanGreen just before the half.

Linebacker Brian Urlacherstripped the ball from Greenon the first down from the 2-yards line just after the two-minute warning. Mike Brownscooped the ball up and ran for95 yards down the Bears side-line to give the Bears a 14-3 leadat halftime. The fumble returnmarked Brown's fifth defensivescore, a team record.

It also marked the second-longest fumble return for ascore ever given up by thePackers which simultaneouslyis recorded as the second-Ion-

PRTnot so automatic With lille hopes on lhe line

DALLAS - Extra points areusually an afterthought In col-lege football because kickers arenormally automatic. But severalextra point attempts have beenhooked, sliced or blocked thisseason, altering a team's nationalchampionship destiny. .i

The point after is now almost astreacherous as third-and-long.

"I don't know if they've got theyips or what's the deal," BoiseState coach Dan Hawkins said.

Division I-A kickers connect-ed on 95.3 percent of their extrapoint attempts last season, thebest performance since 1990. Bycomparison, NFL kickers con-verted 98.4 percent in 2003.

Overall this season, collegekickers are hitting 94.9 percentof their extra point attempts, ac-cording to NCAAstatistics: If thatfigure were to hold up all year, itWOUld.be the second- highest to-

tal since '90.Fifty-three out of 1,Q43 at-

tempts have been missed thisseason in Division I-A. Severalwere huge.

Oregon State's Alexis Sernamissed three in the season open-er against LSU, allowing theTigers to escape with a win, 22-21,in overtime. Tennessee missedan extra point against Floridaon Saturday, but the kicker re-deemed himself with a last-gaspfield goal that gave the Volunteersa two-point victory. LSU missedits own extra point last weekendagainst Auburn. This time, theTigers came up one point short,losing 10-9.

"When they score, I used to flip(the channel)," Texas coach MackBrown said. "Now, I'm going tostay and watch."

Most, if not all, coaches preachthe importance of the kickinggame. Kickers routinely lead theirteam In scoring. Most teams workon extra points for about five

minutes during their daily two-hour workout.

Fresno State coach Pat Hillsaid his team's practices consistof nine extra point attempts in afour-minute span. Kickers andother specialists then work bythemselves. Oklahoma's kickers,for example, work by themselvesinside Oklahoma MemorialStadium while the rest of theteam practices on the adjacentgrass fields.

Still, several coaches, includ-ing Brown, said they do not offerscholarships to high school kick-ers. Coaches encourage kickersto walk on, and then the playercould earn a scholarship with hisperformance.

"We're sure not shy about tis-lng a scholarship if we find theright one," Iowa State coach DanMcCarney said. The Cyclones,however, have found most oftheirkickers through the walk-on pro-cess during McCarney's tenure.

"If you're ,going to be a good

football team, you have to besound In all phases," OSU coachLes Miles said. "The opportunityto score points with a field goal orextra ~oin~ is imperative."
