Public affairs:

• Political money: UO Matters examines who UO employees are backing with their wallets.
• Lung news: An outside organization is throwing $800,000 at stopping UO students from smoking. That’s in the next blog post down from this.
• Rallies: The president visited Oregon to try to massage the electability out of health care–loving silver fox John Kitzhaber. The Emerald reports that cute children were present. The Register-Guard says Kitzhaber was happy about it, and also that Obama said he is both a Ducks fan and a Beavers fan. The Oregonian brings a clearer sense of context, and also talks to someone who works for job-promising center Chris Dudley.
• Product bans: A campus group is trying to stop the UO selling bottled water on campus. (Register-Guard)
• ASUO: Ben Eckstein is trying to get people to vote. (Emerald)
• Luxury berries: Unfortunately for stupid people with lots of money, the acai cherry does not cure cancer. (Emerald)
• Honesty news: The Oregonian rules that Chuck RileyBruce Starr didn’t break the law when he accepted a free trip to Hawai’i from a lobbying group because it wasn’t the law yet.

Opinion:

• Emerald opinion-honcho and now-former Safeway “indentured servant” Tyree Harris vents his spleen on Safeway customers.
• Eugene teacher/parent Jason Aulicino says Oregon does not provide an education beyond grade 5, and seems hell-bent on killing his own essay with numbers.
• Letters: A couple of the usual, and screeds against EWEB and UO faculty in the Guard’s mailbag.
• Editorials: The Guard crows about its support of Measures 66 and 67, pointing to a recent Forbes ranking. The Guard also wonders “What is up with the French?” before concluding, I think, that the problem is that Jean-Jacques Rousseau cannot be reincarnated. The Emerald endorses measures 70–72 and opposes 73 and 74.

Scene:

• Football players going out to eat chicken wings three times a day! TV station employees moonlighting as moviemakers seek “illusion of money.” Students turn Oregon Football success into new shirt, viral video!
• Blue Scholars in Eugene. (Emerald, Oregon Voice)

Sports:

• Emerald sports-hack Robert Husseman wants teams in the Pac-12 to play eleven conference games. I realize, reading how worked up Husseman is over this issue, how snide he gets, that I will never care about football.
• Former Oregon football quarterback Jeremiah Masoli still wants your love. (Portland Tribune)
• Oregon football does not want to lose today. Rather, it wants to win. (Emerald)
• Oregon Football kicker Rob Beard never played soccer, and ends interviews with an ominous “so...” (Emerald)
• Here’s a back-and-forth between Emerald sports-hack-in-chief Lucas Clark and Daily Bruin sports-hack Ryan Eshoff. Warning: there is a pun. (Emerald)
• Alarming medical news: Oregon football player “Marvin (Johnson) will play with both legs hanging by the skin. And he has.” Starting to see what Andy Drukarev was saying about the dangers of college football. (Emerald)
• Darron Thomas is a good player, but then again, Hated Bruins free safety Rahim Moore is also good. (Emerald)
• Mixed metaphors (automotive with gunnery): “But unfortunately for the (Hated) Bruins, the pistol hasn’t exactly been firing on all cylinders.”** (Emerald)
• Oregon Basketball (M) players are not trashing their coach publicly. (Emerald)
• Clark pen-sketches some Oregon Basketball (M) players. (Emerald)

* Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

** Drukarev could be talking about this.
