Missouri governor declares emergency Virginia Young

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Citing “the possibility of expanded unrest,” Gov. Jay Nixon on Monday declared a state of emergency and prepared to send the Missouri National Guard to help maintain order in the St. Louis region when a grand jury decision is announced in the Michael Brown case.

Nixon’s executive order puts the St. Louis County Police Department in charge of security in Ferguson “in areas of protests and acts of civil disobedience, should such activities occur.”

The order also establishes a unified law enforcement command consisting of the county police, the St. Louis Police Department and the Missouri Highway Patrol.

“Everything we’re doing is being driven by the dual pillars: keeping people safe while allowing protesters to speak,” Nixon told reporters during a 30-minute news conference conducted by telephone Monday evening.

The governor declined to provide operational details, such as how many National Guard soldiers will be deployed. His order authorized Stephen

Danner, adjutant general of the National Guard, to call portions of the guard into service as needed.

The order will expire in 30 days unless extended.

Nixon said his actions didn’t signal that he expects violence. Rather, he said his “hope and expectation is that peace will prevail. But I have a responsibility to plan for any contingency that might arise.”

The governor said the National Guard will provide security at command posts, fire stations and other locations, and will also take on duties that free up local officers for community policing.

Student sees effects Painting for the parade of DPS pepper spray Sean Phee

“I still can’t see out of my left eye,” said Cedric Berryhill a week after being pepper sprayed by a Department of Public Safety officer.

Two SIU students and a visiting friend said they were pepper sprayed by a DPS officer at Thompson Point for pretending to wrestle Nov. 11. Four students in total were given citations for the incident.

Tre Knight, Aaliyah Jackson, and Berryhill, all freshmen at SIU, and Satuan Nash, a visitor from Chicago, were cited at 12 a.m. Nov. 11, according to the DPS daily crime log. Berryhill, Nash and Jackson said they were hit by the pepper spray.

“We were wrestling as friends when a cop walked up to us,” said Berryhill, who is from Chicago studying zoology. “We stopped when we saw him come up to us and he sprayed Mace directly in our faces.”

Berryhill said his parents are filing lawsuits against SIU and DPS. Berryhill went to the emergency room at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale where he was told his sight would return in 30 minutes, he said. The next day, Berryhill went to the Student Health Center because he still had no sight in one eye.

The Health Center advised Berryhill to see their eye specialist if his sight did not return in 24 hours, he said.

“They wanted me to see the eye specialist there, but they don’t work with my insurance so I wasn’t able to see him,” Berryhill said.

Nearly a week later, Berryhill’s condition has not been resolved.

Berryhill said the past week has been very difficult for him. Since being sprayed, he can no longer drive, and his condition has affected his

classwork as well, he said.

“I had to call my academic advisor to notify my teachers that I just won’t be able to go to class,” Berryhill said.

DPS officers use oleoresin capsicum as pepper spray, which is common for most police forces, according to an email from DPS Police Chief Benjamin Newman.

“Usually the effects of OC last for 20 to 45 minutes,” Newman wrote.

Citing a 2001 study by the National Institute of Justice on the use of pepper spray, Newman determined the spray generally does not result in adverse health risks, he said. The study said pepper spray has been credited with decreasing injuries to officers and arrestees by reducing the need for more severe force options.

An article in the Scientific American magazine said pepper spray can cause permanent damage to the cornea.

In 2012, a woman was permanently blinded after being sprayed with pepper spray, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The device used on the woman shoots pepper spray at a speed of 400 miles per hour and was fired just 12 inches away from her face.

Newman said he could not comment on an open investigation, but provided the police report. Newman said DPS received a complaint about five individuals fighting near Warren Hall and witnesses claimed a window was broken during the incident.

Newman said officers arrived to find several individuals on the ground fighting and the Carbondale Police Department provided assistance. An ambulance was called and the four suspects were treated with water and air, Newman said.

Rauner to face new challenges as Gov.-elect Joshua Murray

@JoshMurray_DE | Daily Egyptian

B rian C assella C hiCago T riBune /MCT Bruce Rauner celebrates his election as governor of Illinois on election night Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2014 at the Hilton Chicago.

One in four Illinois residents say Illinois is the worst state to live in, according to a 2014 Gallup poll. Additionally, Illinois is the fourth most corrupt state in the nation, based on U.S. Department of Justice data.

Four of the last seven Illinois governors have been imprisoned because of economic and political corruption.

On Nov. 4 Bruce Rauner won the Illinois governor’s race, making him the state’s first Republican governor in more than a decade.

He will replace Gov. Pat Quinn in January and will serve with a heavily Democratic legislature.

David Yepsen, current director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, said just because Illinois has not had a Republican governor in more than 10 years does not suggest Rauner cannot be effective.

“Bruce Rauner is a businessman,” Yepsen said. “He didn’t get where he got because he can’t do deals.”

Yepsen said Rauner has the potential to work with both parties and wouldn’t be the first Republican governor to be successful.

“Jim Edgar, when he was a Republican governor, had deals with Democrats and he had a successful tenure,” Yepsen said. “There’s even a school of thought that says the two

legislative leaders may get along better with Rauner than they did with Pat Quinn.”

Already in control of the U.S. House, Republicans needed to win six seats in November to take control of the Senate.

They won eight. Republicans also won four governor seats in states that previously had Democratic governors, including Illinois.

Jim Nowlan, a former Illinois legislator, said Rauner faces many problems upon taking office.

“I think Rauner is going to have a great deal of trouble working with Democrats,” Nowlan said. “It’s going to be tough for him to fulfill the public’s expectations.”

GOVERNOR CONTINUED FROM

Nowlan, a political science instructor, said a major problem Rauner faces is the state’s budget, which he will have to produce a few weeks after being sworn in.

“His first budget is going to be fascinating because he has to produce a balanced budget with $4 billion less than the $35 billion in the General Fund this year,” Nowlan said. “He won’t be able to do that, so he’ll have to say he needs some revenues beyond what would otherwise be available given the rollback. He more than has his plate full.”

Steve Brown, spokesman for Democratic speaker of the Illinois General Assembly Michael Madigan, said Rauner’s win may have more to do with voters on a national level than at the state level.

“The national election appeared to be on the job approval ratings the president had and an inability to motivate voters who would support the president,” Brown said. “The democrats continued to enjoy a pretty good success in Illinois in this last election.

They re-elected Sen. Durbin, and kept the substantial majority of the legislature.”

Former SIU President Glenn Poshard said Illinois has had successful Republican governors and hopes Rauner will be the next.

“Well, we’ve had successful Republican governors in the past,” Poshard said. “Jim Thompson, Jim Edgar, these people were very successful and generally they governed with Democratic legislatures. So I

think he will try to govern as a moderate Republican and if he does I think he’ll find a lot of Democrats are ready to cooperate and reach out and help him be successful.”

Poshard, a former state senator and U.S. congressman, said Illinois wasn’t the only state affected by the Republican Party’s victory and people should want to work together with Rauner toward compromise.

“He did get elected and I think it’s everybody’s hope in the state of Illinois that he will succeed because we’re Illinoisans first and we want the state to do well,” Poshard said. “I think it depends. If he is successful at creating jobs, if he’s successful at solving the pension problems, if he’s successful at bringing the economy back.”

In November, Republican Terri Bryant was elected state representative of the 115th district, defeating Democratic nominee Bill Kilquist. Bryant will take office in January and said Rauner’s background provides him the skills needed to be an effective Republican governor.

“He’s a very successful businessman,” Bryant said.

“He has the right idea when it comes to cutting taxes.

He has a more business-friendly plan and a more business-friendly attitude.”

Bryant said Rauner’s win didn’t necessarily speak to anything about the Democratic Party, but more about the Republican Party.

“Voters liked what the Republican Party was saying to them, which is we need jobs for this state and we get that by reducing taxes and concentrating on bringing

businesses by the state,” Bryant said. “The message the Republican Party had resonated with voters.”

She said this isn’t the first time Illinois voters have switched and voted for the opposite-party candidate.

“I think the lesson that needs to be learned by anyone running for office is that you have to listen to the constituents in your district and your state,” Bryant said. “It’s my plan to work with the legislators in as far as whatever their plan is doesn’t violate my core values. And if they’re good for my district then I’ll work with whoever is willing to work with to better the state.”

Poshard was appointed to Rauner’s transition team and said compromise across both aisles is something Rauner can help accomplish.

“Oh, I definitely think compromise is possible,” Poshard said. “It’s always possible in a democracy.

In fact, without it you have a stalemate and I think we’re seeing a lot of this at the federal level in the last few years. But I believe compromise is possible in this state and it’s my hope that Gov. Rauner will reach out across the aisle to democrats.”

Yepsen also said Rauner has the ability to push Illinois in the right direction.

“The campaign is behind us here,” Yepsen said. “It will be a good transition and we have to give him a little time here against the up-an-running, but I think he can get some things done.

Illinois has been a democratic state historically.

However, Rauner’s victory against Quinn is a microcosm of the change in the world of politics.

Singles look forward to getting ‘cuffed’ this season Gabriella Scibetta

@gscibetta_DE | Daily Egyptian

The temperature on the thermometer is falling, and singles hope to do the same this time of year—fall in love.

Aside from spending the holidays with family and friends, many people prepare for winter by searching for someone to spend it with.

This seasonal trend among young singles is known as “cuffing season.”

During the fall and winter months, people who would normally rather be single or promiscuous find themselves desiring to be “cuffed” or tied down by a relationship. The cold weather and prolonged indoor activity causes singles to become lonely and desperate to be cuffed, according to urbandictionary.com. The season lasts from September to March.

Annette Vaillancourt, a psychotherapist and counselor who has been in private practice for 24 years as a marriage and relationship therapist, said people who participate in the season should consider why they want a relationship.

“With all these sites like Tinder and Match.com, it will truly be wise

Nash said the window was not broken during their play fighting.

“The broken window had nothing to do with us,” Nash said. “A paramedic came, but he didn’t help us much.”

Nash said the pepper spray burned his eyes, throat and nostrils all night.

“They told me to take a shower and

to know what you want out of the experience,” Vaillancourt said. “If you are new to the dating world, it would be nice to have hundreds of emails from people wanting to know something about you.”

During these months, cases of seasonal affective disorder, also known as SAD, increase. SAD is a form of depression and occurs when seasons change, Vaillancourt said.

The symptoms for SAD are similar to depression and there are no tests that prove someone is dealing with it, according to WebMD. Vaillancourt said chemical changes in the brain can cause SAD. “When the days get shorter, especially since we just had the time change, and the sun sets earlier, it affects our brain,” Vaillancourt said. “There is a part of us that just wants to hibernate in the winter. So people will get depressed in the winter, and that can affect their interpersonal relationships.”

Isaiah Cotton, a freshman from Naperville studying cinema and cinematography, said he is seeing relationships start to heat up in college.

“I don’t see people getting into

relationships with others, but I’m starting to see people open up to others and begin the process of starting a relationship,” Cotton said.

Megan Monaco, a freshman from Erlanger, Ky., studying economics, said she is against the idea of cuffing season.

“People look for a winter relationship just to have somebody to buy them things during the holidays and to have someone to cuddle with when it’s too cold,” Monaco said. “I would personally rather invest in Netflix and a thermal blanket because there is less work and feelings aren’t involved.”

Vallancourt said when days start to get longer, people start to feel better.

However, it’s not uncommon for people to hit a slump from November to about April, she said.

She said although studies show suicide rates peak during the holiday season, there are two peaks during the year.

“One [peak] is during the holiday season, and the other is in the spring when everything is new, bright and shiny and everyone is happy and the depressed person feels so different than that, and they feel hopeless,”

Vaillancourt said. “During the holidays when you are supposed to be feeling happy, and if you are depressed and you’re not feeling happy, I think there is the highest rate of suicide.”

She said she urges people to be good to themselves and said people in relationships often do not realize how important their own happiness is.

“People have to optimize this time of year,” Vaillancourt said. “Young people don’t understand that you are not in the relationship for the other person to make you happy. Your job is to make yourself happy, and share that with someone.”

She said concentration on one’s own happiness is an important life skill because relying on others for happiness makes one susceptible to getting into abusive relationships.

“If you get into the relationship and you aren’t in charge of your own happiness, you are not doing things to build your self-esteem and be able to leave,” Vaillancourt said.

Many people believe their happiness is reliant on others, which leads to the belief in cuffing season, but they can create their own happiness, she said.

Cotton said SAD can affect students’ lives in other ways aside from relationships, but if students do pursue relationships, they must make sure they are ready.

“Relationships are pretty great for people who are comfortable enough with themselves and can identify their own faults and adjust their own faults and adjust to them for someone that brings joy into their life,” Cotton said.

Ken Culton, a clinical social worker and the social work coordinator at the SIU clinical center, said this is a common behavior.

“Any kind of novelty is a way to keep out a negative emotional state,” Culton said. “As students and their families gather together for the holidays, I think a lot of people put a lot of pressure on themselves as they approach the holidays relationally.”

He said he sees the phenomena happen in both positive and negative ways during the holidays depending on the parties involved. He advises people to choose their moments of happiness.

wash my eyes with milk but nothing worked,” Nash said.

Brandon Bell, a freshman from Chicago studying hospitality and tourism administration, said he witnessed the event and the students were just horsing around.

“Parts of it were caught on video,” Bell said. “I don’t know if anybody caught the part when the officer showed up and sprayed the Mace.”

Romaine Ramazani, a freshman

from Saginaw, Texas, studying physiology, said the students were just goofing around. There is video recording up until right before the pepper spray was used and there is recording of events that happened afterward, Ramazani said.

The video recordings show there was no fight, Ramazani said.

Nash, who plans to attend SIU next year, said DPS should review how it trains its officers.

DPS follows use of force guidelines established by the state, Newman said. He cited guidelines which list several control tactics that can be used on active resisters including the use of chemical agents such as pepper spray, as an acceptable tactic to subdue active resisters.

The guidelines define an active resister as a person who exhibits resistive movement to avoid physical control, or as a passive resister

presents a credible threat to the officer through: an agitated demeanor, verbal threats or words signifying an intent or ability to use violence or resistance.

Nash said he and his friends could not have been resisting because they did not see the officer until moments before they were sprayed.

“Officers shouldn’t be able to just Mace people without warning,” he said. “They should assess the situation before they react.”

FTC in talks with Apple about health data protection Tracey Lien

Los Angekes Times

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is in talks with Apple to ensure that sensitive health data collected by its mobile and wearable devices will not be used without owners’ consent.

Apple’s latest iPhone operating system, iOS 8, comes with the HealthKit platform, which offers users the ability to track and share a vast range

of health and medical data points like diet, exercise and activity across multiple apps and devices. The Apple Watch, which will launch early next year, comes with a heart rate sensor, GPS and accelerometer, which tracks a user’s heart rate, distance traveled, steps taken and calories burned.

With the wealth of user health data that Apple will have access to, the FTC is understandably interested

in how these data are used.

Apple confirmed that it has met with the FTC for runof-the-mill discussions about its products and privacy, and two people familiar with the matter told Reuters that Apple representatives have assured agency officials the company will not sell users’ health data to third parties like advertisers, nor will it allow third-party developers to do so.

Religious dramas seem to be on the rise. This year alone “God’s Not Dead” and “Mom’s Night Out” have found moderate success.

While most of these films can be criticized for being religious propaganda, none are as bad as Kirk Cameron’s latest attempt.

“Saving Christmas” (PG; 80 min) is both the worst of these religious the year.

“Saving Christmas” is a religious drama directed by Darren Doane and stars Kirk Cameron, Darren Doane, Bridgette Cameron and Raphi Henly.

Christmastime is here. The tree is up, stockings are hung and the Cameron annual Christmas party is imminent. Kirk, who plays himself, has waited for this party all year. Christmas is his favorite time of the year, no matter what those waging a “war on Christmas” will tell him.

Yet, something is wrong this year.

Kirk’s brother in-law, Christian, played by Doane, is not as joyous as everyone else.

He thinks the holiday it has lost its true meaning and has become a consumerist’s Kirk puts it on himself to cheer Christian up and push him towards the true meaning of Christmas.

“Saving Christmas” seems to be made by someone who has never seen a movie

before. Somehow through their time on Earth, they never understood the concept of the moving picture.

Kirk Cameron loves to hear his own sitting in a chair and talking to audience. come in and start vaguely interacting with each other, but he dominates the dialogue.

With all the narration in this movie, it to be a plot, and things need to happen. It is the basis to which stories have been told since the beginning of storytelling. Homer sent the memo and Cameron must have never recieved it.

The story is based around two men sitting in a vehicle while the Christmas party goes on. Now, this is not the initial problem. Many movies have had fewer characters in a similar position and told a great story. However, nothing happens to either character through this. No one has a character moment. One man makes an argument, the other avoids what he says.

Scene over.

Cameron, both his character and the real actor, never has a leg to stand on throughout this movie. It begins right at in a chair, spouting about how ridiculous the idea of Christmas originating from a Pagan religion is. Those who believe this are just fun haters, he states.

Watch “God’s Not Dead” if you’re looking for religious drama. Under normal circumstances, that too would be terrible Christmas,” it is Oscar quality.

@JacobPierce1_DE | Daily Egyptian

there are some that made waves and will be remembered for some time.

“Birdman: Or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance” (Rated R; 119 min) is the best and most unique motion picture of the year.

“Birdman” is a comedy drama directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and stars Michael Edward Norton.

Riggan Thomson, played by Keaton, is an actor on the last leg of his career. It has been 20 years since the original Birdman movie came out and made him a star. He has searched for relevance within his art ever since.

His last chance at being remembered as anything other than Birdman comes in a theater adaptation of Raymond Carver’s “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love,” which he wrote, and is directing and staring in.

The play starts to fall apart and Thomson’s psyche goes with it. He starts to imagine the character of Birdman as an alternate personality of his and the lines between reality and fantasy become more blurred.

Michael Keaton is a man mostly known for one role. While many cinephiles will tell you the man has had a plethora of amazing characters to his name, there is one that still

characters who, in the wrong hands would be deplorable, but they make them charming.

There are many interesting and engaging mixture between meta-realism and off-the-wall visuals and random moments of black comedy make it compelling.

The meta-realism of this movie is present building a convincing world, but this movie never struggles with it. The superhero craze, the nature of critics and the personality of an actor are just some of the aspects of this movie which make it successful.

This movie is not going to win the Best Picture award this year and that is in fault of the Oscar committee. It is by far the best movie of the year and is groundbreaking work for everyone involved.

Weiher familiar with collegiate competition Aaron Graff

SIU men’s basketball has a freshman who faced collegiate competition while he was in high school.

Redshirt freshman forward Austin Weiher played basketball at Creating Young Minds Academy in Irving, Texas, where where he competed against junior college teams. Creating Young Minds does not offer classes, so players attend Winfree Academy, a charter school that allows students to work at their own pace. Winfree has six campuses. Weiher attended the Irving campus.

“It was more difficult than prep schools, but it wasn’t overwhelming,” Weiher said.

While Weiher is redshirting this season to improve for next year, he said Creating Young Minds prepared him for collegiate competition.

“They got me in the weight room early,” Weiher said. “They got me physically ready for this.

We also played a bunch of colleges to get my speed of the game up to where it needs to be.”

Saluki coach Barry Hinson said he recruited Weiher because of his size.

Weiher is 6-foot-8 and 205 pounds.

“We needed size,” Hinson said.

“We had to have somebody that we felt like could give us that. The bonus factor of that was, we knew he had offensive skill.”

Hinson said the thing that keeps Weiher off the floor is his defense, but that is typical for freshmen.

Creating Young Minds Academy coach Mathis Crowder said Weiher is a team-first player, and very skilled offensively.

“One time before the game I told him I wanted him to go for 30 or 40 [points],” Crowder said.

“In the first eight minutes he took 10 shots. Then he came out of the game and asked, ‘Coach Mathis, am I being selfish?’ I said, ‘I told

you to go for 30.’”

Crowder said Weiher’s ability to score efficiently opened up the court for other players.

Despite Weiher’s talent, Crowder said education and character are top priorities with his players. He said he coached an Amateur Athletic Union team in Seattle and always butted heads with high school

coaches because he demanded a 3.0 GPA or better. He said high school coaches would let players play with a 1.9 GPA. Crowder started the Creating Young Minds program in 2011 to make sure athletes were receiving quality educations. Crowder said when he played basketball, he saw talented players never go far

because they lacked education.

“Basketball is a very real small percentage of your life,” he said.

“Even if you go to the NBA.” Crowder said he takes pretty much any player who has a good work ethic. He said Weiher was no exception, and other teams denied his skill as a basketball player.

“Austin came from where he was

told he was nothing,” Crowder said. “In high school, he was told he was nothing. He was told he was a tree, that he was worthless.

He was told that by his coaches.”

Crowder said Weiher’s work ethic will pay off for the Salukis in the long run. “[Weiher] is one of those kids that can be the face of a program,”

One SIU volleyball player is on pace to become one of the most efficient Salukis of all time.

Junior hitter Taylor Pippen has a .408 hitting percentage, which would be the highest single season percentage in Saluki history. Sonya Locke, who hit .369 in 1981, holds the record.

“Sonya Locke means everything to this program,” coach Justin Ingram said. “Just to be mentioned with Sonya is a great feat in itself. Our focus is certainly on the team, and our production as a group. We want to win this thing. Regardless if one person or a few are [having careerbest efficiencies], we’re looking for that win.”

Pippen said she is aware she is on pace for the record, but has not paid much attention to it because she is not ready for the season to end.

Not only is Pippen’s mark significant at SIU, but it also leads the Missouri Valley Conference

this season. Pippen is the only conference player with a percentage above .400. Wichita State’s Abbie Leham is second with a .399 hitting percentage.

“I like to have the mindset that I’m one of the best hitters in the conference and I’m doing the right things,” Pippen said. “Have that mindset and you’ll play like that.”

Pippen has improved her hitting percentage by nearly 100 points from last season’s .309. Ingram said she can be even better next year.

Ingram said the Salukis’ new playing system is a big contribution to her improvement, because she can hit off of two feet.

“Some of it has to do with her abilities to hit in front of the setter,” Ingram said. “She’s always good behind the setter off of one foot, they call that a slide hit. However, within our offense this year, we’re always in a three-hitter system. Which means the opportunities to go off of one foot are less.”

The change in systems gives

Pippen more chances to hit the ball more effectively. Pippen said she understands volleyball better and listenes to her coaches more this year.

“With time comes growth,” Pippen said. “Over these three years I’ve been able to figure out the right ways [to play].”

Pippen said when she has an error on an attempted kill, it frustrates her, but makes her want to kill the next attempt that much more.

Freshman middle hitter Alex Rosignol said Pippen has helped her learn the position more this year.

“I came in and I saw Taylor,” Rosignol said. “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I hope I’m like her someday.’”

Rosignol said Pippen has not had to say much to her because she learns from just watching her.

“I even looked up to her before I came here,” Rosignol said. “I couldn’t wait to play with her, I knew I was going to learn so much from her.”

The Salukis have their final regular season match Friday at Evansville and the MVC tournament Nov. 27-29.
