W it h a n e a rl y s p a rk from the bench, another strong performance from Si ndar ius Thor nwell, and their usual tenacious defen se, Fr a n k M a r t i n w a s able t o c l i nc h h i s 200th career win as South Carolina beat Tennessee 70-60. The G amecock s were able to jump to an early first half lead largely due to the play of their bench, which helped propel them to a 27-21 halftime lead. Led by Hassani Gravett’s seven points, t he Sout h Ca rol i n a bench scored 13 of the Gamecock’s 27 points. South Carolina led by as much as 15 points with 4:41 left in the first half until the Volunteers closed the half on a 9-0 run. Tennessee’s run would end t here t hough, as S out h C a r ol i n a wou ld not relinquish t he lead. Sindarius Thornwell led t he G a me c o c k s i n t he second half, scoring 16 of his game high 22 points during the period enroute to victory. PJ Dozier, t he second le a d i n g s c o r e r o n t h e season, struggled with foul trouble for much of t he night. He seemed unable to fi nd a groove, fi nishing w it h 6 p oi nt s o n 2-10 shoot ing f rom t he f ield before fouling out w it h 3:10 left in the game. Ju st a s t he y have for much of the season, South Carol i na rel ied heav i ly on their defense to beat the Vols. Their defense, w h ic h c u r re nt l y r a n k s fi fth in the nation in field goal percentage defense and nint h in t he nat ion in scoring defense, held Tennessee to a season-low 60 points. The Volunteers shot just 32.7 percent from t he f ield including 1-11 from three point range, while also turning the ball over 22 times. W it h t he w i n, Sout h Carolina improved to 3-0 in SEC play this season, a feat that had not occurred since the 1996-97 season. The win is a milestone w i n for coac h M a r t i n.

UN resolution promises to be clumsy non-solution Andy Wilson Second-year English student
Imagine a group violently forced from their homeland two millennia ago that lived scattered through Europe, Africa, and the Middle East as minorities, tolerated at best, persecuted for their race and religion at worst, which only in the last century endu red bot h one of t he world’s most brutal genocides in Europe and a coordinated ethnic cleansing from North Africa and the Middle East. Further, imagine that this g roup wa s p er m it ted to establish a nation in their former homeland and against all odds, held that nation against repeated militar y assaults from their hostile neighbors. This group is the Jews, and their embattled nation is Israel. It would seem hard not to be sympathetic to a group that has survived and even t hrived under t hese conditions, but the world remains largely hostile. A 2014 study found that one in four adults worldwide have anti-Semitic beliefs and 36 countries, nearly one in five, do not recognize Israel as a nation. T h e U. S . h a s b e e n a staunch ally of Israel but ended a long-sta nding tradition of protecting the Jewish state in December. O u r U. N . a m b a s s a d o r declined to veto a measure t h a t c o n d e m n s I s r a e l ’s set t lement bu i ld i ng i n t he West Ba n k a nd East Jerusalem as illegal and does not recognize a Jewish claim to the Jewish Quarter, home for millennia to a Jewish remnant, or even the site of its historical religious center, the Temple Mount. I n t h is resolut ion, t he U.N. joi ns a long l ist of governmental powers that have tried to restrict Jews from accessing their holy site, from the pagan Romans to the Christian Byzantines to the Muslim Umay yads. It i s s h a me f u l t h at o u r nation’s representatives have stood by during this latest attempt while the U.N. strips legitimacy from the oldest religious group to lay claim to the Temple Mount. T he re solut ion’s condem nat ion of Israel’s settlements in Palestinian territory is more justified, but
ultimately counterproductive. Though it s stated aim is “achieving, without delay a comprehensive, just and lasting peace,” the resolution removes Israel’s primary tool to bring the Palestinians to the bargaining table and thus makes a peace deal less likely. Israel’s main bargaining chip has been its settlements. In previous peace talks, Israel has offered to withdraw from almost the entire West Bank and swap Israeli land to keep its largest settlements. There will be no lasting peace bet ween t he t wo entities until Israel ends its occupation of Palestinian land, but trying to force Israel to withdraw as a precondition to talks is putting the cart before the horse. C ou nt r ie s t h at h ave a history of ill will between
strategy of rejecting peace talks with the Israelis in favor of letting the U.N. and other polit ical ent it ies w it hout direct stake in the conf lict take up the fight for them. After all, the resolution is a major diplomatic success for the Palestinians achieved without even coming to the negotiating table with the Israelis. A nd t he Israelis are unlikely to budge on their settlements without winning concessions f rom t he Palestinians, resolution or no. They have little else they are willing to offer for peace, and as Israeli politics veer toward nat ionalism, increasingly little desire for it. I’ve been to Israel and t he West Bank. I’ve seen the fences and checkpoints keeping Palestinians out of
“Countries that have a history of ill will between them are moved by quid pro quo arrangements, not concessions in advance.” t hem are moved by qu id pro quo arrangements, not c onc e s s ion s i n ad v a nc e. President Obama found this out the hard way when he removed a proposed missile defense system in Eastern Europe as an act of goodwill toward Russia. Instead of being placated, Russia took it as a sign of weakness and has become more assertive in their attempts at regional domination. Pressuring Israel to remove their settlements in advance of talks, when these are the main thing capable of bringing the Palestinians to the table, is an act of at least as much naiveté. Palest in ians are not in a hurr y to get t heir ow n state. Only a slight majority favors a two-state solution, a nd wh i le it m ight seem that the U.N. resolution is a step toward this solution, it will not bring peace sooner. I nstead it w ill embolden Palestinians to continue their
Israeli territor y. I’ve also seen signs warning Israelis to stay out of Palestinian areas on pain of death. I’ve been offered keepsakes that show the territory of both Israel and the Palestinian territories painted in the colors of the Palestinian flag, effectively claiming that Israel should be erased. I’m also aware that many Israelis likewise consider the entire territory their own and thus see no problem with encroaching on Palestinian land. We in the West tend to m isrepre sent t he I sr aelPalestine conflict, blaming its intractability on one side or the other. In reality, there are signif icant groups on both sides which oppose the compromise of a two-state solution. As of last August, 41 percent of Israelis and 49 percent of Palestinians did not support a two-state solution. Many members of these groups believe that the
entire land is legitimately theirs and reject any claim to it by the rival group. On the Israeli side, these groups are generally the ones making settlements to claim land for the Jewish state. On the Palestinian side, these groups are the ones shooting rockets at Israel, running over Israeli citizens or calling for such violence. Both methods, employed by the nationalist rad icals of bot h sides, tacitly aid the moderates in putting pressure on their counterparts to come to the negotiating table. Both of these methods are illegal, but the Israeli tactic is vastly more humane and reversible. That’s why it’s hypocritical to censure Israel for it s s e t t le m e nt s w it h o u t addressing the cult of violence endorsed by the leaders of Palestine and permeating its culture. People should take the time to acquaint themselves with the grim realit ies of t he sit uat ion before they heedlessly jump on the bandwagon for one side or the other. Palestinian sympathizers tend to portray the fault for the continued dysfunctional relat ions as bei ng al l on I sr ael’s side, a nd I sr ael i sympathizers tend to portray t he fau lt as bei ng a l l on the Palestinians’. Neither portrayal is helpful to solving the problem and neither is t r ue. We shouldn’t be so quick to demonize or deify either Israel or Palestine. It is easy to flatten out the world’s problems and offer simplistic solutions. But to assign one side or the other f ull blame for a sit uation like the Israeli-Palestinian conf lict is to oversimplif y t he problem a nd ig nore the nuances of reality. The U.N. can’t root out hatred o r e x t i n g u i s h r e l i g io u s revanchism. A ny solution to t he Israeli-Palest inian problem will have to be from t he ground up, so heav yhanded efforts like the U.N.’s resolution are likely only to perpetuate the conflict.

W hen w r it i ng about t he upcoming Trump administration, many journalists have picked their copies of “1984” back up and looked to Orwell for guidance on what a thin-skinned president with the federal government at his command could do. I’ve turned to “Slaughterhouse-Five” instead, as I think we’re witnessing something more akin to a massacre than a government. But as I re-read it, I noticed that one quote in particular hasn’t held up well. It comes in the semiautobiographical first chapter, where Kurt Vonnegut describes a meeting with his publisher and tells him he’s writing an anti-war book. The publisher responds: “Why don’t you write an antiglacier book instead?” Vonnegut then narrates, “What he meant, of course, was that there would always be wars, that they were as easy to stop as glaciers. I believe that too.” Science has progressed a bit since the 1960s. It turns out that it is very easy to melt glaciers and many people will die because of it. So it goes. The science behind climate change has been summarized many times by writers far better and more informed than myself. International committees have put out several, if you can use Google and have an interest in learning. Of course, you in all likelihood will not suffer the full force of climate change. There might be famine, yes, but the United States is already a wealthy and well-fed countr y. If you don’t give any thought to when or how you’ll eat now, you probably won’t in the future. There will be droughts that will hit some parts of the United States badly, but the country as a whole has large freshwater reserves in the Great Lakes and Mississippi River system. Some countries and regions will see wars over water, but there are no military powers capable of rivaling America nearby. And since Columbia is nowhere near the coast, you won’t be flooded out of your home. If anything, you’ll just be closer to the beach. That’s not to say that climate change won’t be horrific for some people. Just probably not for you. Unless you already struggle to afford food, in which case your life is only going to get worse. Or if you’re reading this in Charleston and don’t have the money or desire to relocate. Or if you plan on moving out west after college, in which case water shortages will probably be a major part of your future. I n a nut shell, t hat’s one of America’s biggest problems with climate change. The country as a whole will suffer less than most others, and the people who face the brunt of it tend to be impoverished or living on the coast. Both groups routinely vote for the party that isn’t nominating the Exxon CEO to the cabinet and appointing a climate change denier to head the Interior and Energy departments. So there’s not much more they can do. So i n t hat reg a rd, cl i mate cha nge is emblemat ic of t he problems in America caused by a narrow majority of typically white, typically middle-class or higher Americans in the interior voting against the interests of literally everyone else. They (and probably you) won’t suffer that much, but almost everyone else on the planet will pay the price.

Gender identity, nature vs. nu r t u re a nd t he journey of finding oneself. A ll of these themes are woven into the next show at Trustus Theatre, “Boy,” w h i c h p r e m ie r e s t h i s Fr id a y, Ja n . 13. When main character Adam Turner was born, he suf fered from a failed circumcision, lead i ng h is parents to ra ise h im as a f e m a le o n the advice of a psychiatrist. “ I t ’s k i n d o f g o t a creator/creation sort of relationship in that the doctor is t r y ing to use t he p ower of nu r t u r e vs. nature to create the gender of t his child,” said Chad Henderson,
artistic director at Trustus Theatre. As Adam grows up and begins to ask questions and explore sexually, he eventually comes to the realization that he is a boy. “The thing that is most i ntere st i ng a nd most human about it is you’re watching this person trying to understand themselves and hav ing choices made f o r t h e m ,” Henderson s a id . “ It ’s about the power of choice and it ’s ab out the power of understanding.” “Boy,” written by Anna Z iegler, is i n spi red by t he t r ue stor y of Dav id Reimer, whose parents were convinced to raise him as a

Based on the trailers that ran steadily over t he hol id a y s e a s o n , “ S i n g ,” t h e l a t e s t f rom I llu m i nat ion Entertainment, promised to be a light hearted and entertaining animated mov ie w it h a t ok e n lesson of mora l it y thrown in. In realit y, “Sing” is separated into two parts — a dull and undeveloped first half and an u nex pectedly t rag ic yet del ight f u l second half. The mov ie centers around a failing theater and a singing competition the theater’s owner, Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey), put s on to save his building from foreclosure. The supporting characters, voiced by A-list celebrities, each have their own insecurities and hurdles to overcome, which leaves the exposition of their stories a bit stale and cliche. Reese Witherspoon voices Rosita, a stay-athome mom and pig that gave up her dreams to raise an innumerable amount of piglets. Her relationship with the f unk y German pig Gu nt her voiced by Nick Kroll was by far the most entertaining, but Ta ron Eger ton’s gor i l l a teenager, Johnny, was the most compelling. Joh n ny is a stereotypical teenager t hat is tor n bet ween joining t he fam ily business and pursuing his own dreams. W hile it seems cliche a t f i r s t , E g e r t o n ’s si l k y voc a ls a nd t he genu ine relat ionsh ip development between Johnny and his father ma ke h i m st a nd out i n t he l a r g e c a s t of characters. I t h o u g h t t he c h a r ac ter ’s backgrounds were banal. I could not bring myself to fully invest in them. Although the rehearsals were mildly a mu si ng, t he slow pacing of the first 45 minutes kept me from being thoroughly entertained. The f irst half of “Sing” features many f un musical numbers a nd a few jokes t hat are clever enough to soar over the intended audiences’ heads, but t he worn-out backstories and jumble of story building for so many characters left me indifferent. About halfway through the movie — ju st about t he poi nt where I had given up all pretenses of caring — I was shocked. A n u ne x p e c t e d t r a g e d y wrenched my attention SEESINGPAGE8

Former Gamecocks impact NFL Playoff picture

@ROB_BALBONI1
The Wildcard Round has whittled the NFL playof f pool dow n to just eight teams. Still, four former Gamecocks figure to prominently represent South C a r o l i n a’s p r o g r a m during the remainder of the Super Bowl push. 1. Jadeveon Clowney A stellar game from defensive end Jadeveon Clowney in the Houston
Te x a n s ’ victor y over t he Oak la nd R aiders was heralded as a breakout performance f or t he f or mer f i r s t overall pick. His acrobatic interception has subsequently been played on a loop, and the play drew parallels to a similar interception t hat t hree-t ime N FL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt made in the 2012 playoffs during his rookie year. Clowney has quietly put together a very solid
season in Houston, recording six sacks in 14 games and earning a nod to his first pro Bowl. Prior to this game, the narrative surrounding C l o w n e y, a t l e a s t out side of Hou ston , persisted to be one of u nderach ievement in comparison to t he hype he received as an amateur. The attention has now made him the focal point of the Texans playoff push in the eyes of the national media, w it h ma ny pu nd it s anointing him the status of being Houston’s only hope when t hey take on t he New England
Column: Notice key to team’s future success Abe Danaher
@ABEDANAHER
Not PJ Dozier, not Sindarius Thornwell, but Duane Notice holds South Carolina’s NCAA Tournament hopes in his hands. L a s t y e a r ’s S E C Sixth Man of the Year came into this season prepared to star for the Gamecocks. Notice is expected to be the team’s sharpshooter — a player able to stretch the floor as defenses were forced to respect h is abilit y to k nock dow n shot s from any where on it. Many believed him to be i nst r u ment a l i n South Carolina’s future success. But the numbers are beginning to show that Not ice is more t ha n just instrumental to this team’s success; he is the key to it. Opposing teams know how dynamic Dozier and Thornwell are. They know that it is important to minimize these two players, but t hat t he chance of completely lock ing them down is very slim. Yet in Notice,
teams have found a weak link. They have found a player who is entirely inconsistent, one whose play can be the tipping point of South Carolina’s success. Fo r w h e n N o t i c e scores, the Gamecocks win, but when he doesn’t, the Gamecocks are much more likely to lose. South Carolina is 2-3 in games in which Notice has scored four or fewer points and 11-0 in which he has scored more than four points. In every South Carolina loss t his season, Not ice has struggled with his shot. In all three losses, he is a combined 2 of 27 from the field. Yet in wins, he is 48-115. That translates to him shooting nearly 34 percent better in wins than in losses. To go along with the shoot i ng percent age, Notice is averaging 8.4 more points per game in wins versus losses. A trend has started to emerge t hat stopping Notice means stopping South Carolina. The reason for this is that shutting down
Notice seems to affect all the other players on t he cou r t . For when Not ice is no longer a threat to the defense, floor spacing is thrown off for the Gamecocks. This allows the defenses to sag of f of Not ice: af fect ing t he driv ing lanes of Dozier, and the amount of time the big men have to survey the defense, and make their low post moves. It is no secret t hat Thornwell and Dozier are t he top players on t h i s t e a m . T hei r impor t a nce to Sout h Carolina’s success can in no way be ignored. Yet the most unstable piece of this team has shown to be Dua ne Not ice, making him the key to their future success. W hen Not ice is u nable to score, t h is Sout h Carolina team has shown that they are prone to losing. And as Notice has yet to post t wo straight games in which he has scored in double digits, it is his inconsistency that is the most pressing threat to the Gamecocks future success.
Patriots this weekend. T he i ntercept ion c h a n g e d t h e conver sat ion a rou nd t he 23-year-old edge rusher, but for Sout h Carolina fans, perhaps a more meaningful play occurred later in t he g a me. I n t he second q u a r t e r, C l o w n e y ’s p r e s s u r e c au s e d t he pocket to collapse and forces t he R a iders’ quarterback to fire off a dangerous pass. The pass was intended for Raiders receiver Amari Cooper, but Clowney’s pressu re a l lows t he cornerback to spring out of the flat to break up the pass, narrowly missing an interception. That corner? Well that
wou ld b e a not her former Gamecock, Johnathan Joseph. 2. Johnathan Joseph Jo seph , who wa s a key member of South Carol i na’s seconda r y i n 20 0 4 a nd 20 05, made 10 tackles against t he Raiders. This week, Joseph will have t he dau nt i ng t ask of going up against New England, owner of the league’s No. 4 passing offense despite missing To m B r a d y f o r t h e first four games of the season. 3. Jared Cook The Gamecocks will also be represented in the N FC’s Divisional Rou nd. Packers t ight end Jared Cook made the fi rst playoff appearance of his eight-year NFL career against the New York Giants, catching
five passes for 48 yards. The Packers will take on the Cowboys next, and will look to push their win streak to eight games in order to advance to the NFC Championship. 4. Patrick DiMarco A t l a nt a Fa lc on s starting fullback Patrick DiMarco will host the Seat t le Sea hawk s on Saturday, Jan. 14 at 4:35 p.m. DiMarco doesn’t receive a lot of touches in Atlanta’s offense but is regarded as one of the best blockers at his position. S o u t h C a r o l i n a ’s eternal rivals w ill be celebrating a national championship this week. Th is is u nden iably Clemson’s moment. But there are decent odds t h at t he G a me co c k s will be represented in another championship g a me i n t he not too distant future.
