Contest asks for students to submit new Illini symbol »

BY CLAIRE EVERETT STAFF WRITER

The Illinois Student Senate is calling for students to submit ideas for a new University symbol to student group Campus Spirit Revival. “Our mission is to see options students come up with and which of those they like most,” said Thomas Ferrarell, president of the registered student organization Campus Spirit Revival. Submissions are due Jan. 27 and voting will take place Jan. 30 to Feb. 1 at vote.illinois.edu. The contest winner will receive a $200 prize, and the top five submissions will be presented to the University administration for consideration. Brock Gebhardt, president of the Illinois Student Senate, said the student senate has been supporitve of Campus Spirit Revival’s initiatives since last year. The student senate sent out a mass mail with information about the contest on Jan. 9. As of press time, there had been 39 submissions. Entries with the most likes on Facebook include an eagle symbol; a wolf, meant to “pay homage” to Native Americans; a lion, meant to symbolize “Illini pride, power and strength”; and Fighting Abe Lincoln, meant to symbolize “the leadership, courage, and stalwartness” at the University. Ferrarell said he has been keeping track of student feedback. “Many students responded

that a cartoonish mascot has never been a part of U of I history and shouldn’t be in the future,” Ferrarell said. “That’s being echoed in a lot of the submissions coming in.” Three Fighting Abe Lincoln submissions were created by David Kaplinsky, senior in FAA, with the help of Carolina Ibarra, senior in FAA. “I think Lincoln is a symbol that everyone can get behind,” Kaplinsky said. “I got excited about the idea because I think our University deserves a good symbol in place of what was. I wanted a symbol that shows we strive to be as great as our state’s figures, such as Lincoln.” University spokeswoman Robin Kaler said in an email that this initiative is dependent on what students and alumni want. “The creation of most campus traditions, including the Chief, began with individual students whose ideas resonated with others,” Kaler said. “Whether anything comes of this contest will depend on it resonating with others in the Illinois family.” Kaler said that if the contest results in the creation of feasible ideas, the University may

A backhoe demolishes the former site of White Horse, 112 E. Green St., on Wednesday. The Larson Company will build an apartment at the old White Horse and Garcia’s Pizza sites. Doug Larson, president of the Larson Company, said the five-story building will be ready for occupancy by fall 2014.

Apartment to replace former pub DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

The former sites of White Horse Inn and Garcia’s Pizza In A Pan will be replaced with a new student apartment building next year. Demolition of 112 E. Green St., White Horse Inn’s previous location, began this week. A demo-

lition permit was issued for the vacant building at 108 E. Green St., which used to house Garcia’s. A footing and foundation permit has also been issued for the 112 and 108 E. Green St. sites, owned by Larson Company. Doug Larson, president of Larson Company, said some the five-

story building is set to be ready for occupancy by fall 2014. The first level will house a parking garage and commercial businesses. The upper four levels will consist of two- and four-bedroom apartments, totaling 52 units. The total cost for the project is $7 million. White Horse Inn had been locat-

ed at 112 E. Green St., since 1973. It briefly closed under previous leadership. Daina and Aidas Mattis, husband and wife and partowners of the bar, joined the staff in 2008 and reopened it. The bar moved to its new location at 512 E. John St. during the summer of 2012.

SEIU takes step closer toward striking Vote to authorize strike on Jan. 24-25 BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER

Eight months into negotiations, campus employees of the Service Employees International Union Local 73 may be taking the fi rst step toward a strike. Members of SEIU, an organization that represents about 800 food and building service employees in the University, petitioned for a strike authorization Thursday. Voting will take place Jan. 24 and 25, said Ricky Baldwin, SEIU Local 73 chief negotiator. “We’ve tried to compromise as much as we could to reach an agreement that we feel would be mutually benefi cial to the workers as well as to management at the University,” he said. “But unfortunately, the University doesn’t seem willing to budge on the most important issues.” Some of those issues include a requirement that employees begin participating in the campus wage program, which the provost uses to determine annual fl at rate pay increases adjusted for infl ation. University spokeswoman Robin Kaler said the majority of campus employees’ salaries are set by the program. “It’s what we feel is appropriate with what resources the University has available,” she said. Baldwin and other members of the bargaining team have taken issue with the

Police shoot, wound domestic violence suspect during ‘Les Miserables’ showing THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO — Moviegoers at a San Diego theater ducked for cover as police stormed in during a movie and shot and wounded an armed domestic violence suspect pretending to be a patron. The lights came on suddenly during a Saturday matinee screening of “Les Miserables” at Reading Cinemas Carmel Mountain in northern San Diego and two officers who had been going theater-to-theater spotted their suspect among the approximately 15 moviegoers, most of whom quickly hit the floor and started inching toward exits, police and witnesses said. The suspect, Tom Billodeaux of Escondido, 20, at first obeyed the officer who approached him and put his empty hands up, but then “lowered them into his lap ... raised a handgun, and turned it toward the officer,” police said in a statement.

The officer, who has been with the department for about 18 months, shot Billodeaux in the chest and arm, police said. No one else, including the domestic violence victim in the initial incident, was hurt, police Lt. Ernie Herbert said. Billodeaux was at a hospital Sunday morning and is expected to survive the shooting. He will be booked into county jail on his release, police said. Officers reached by phone did not know if he has an attorney, and contact information could not be found for Billodeaux, his family or friends. Billodeaux became the target of an intense police search after witnesses reported seeing him get into a fight with his girlfriend at her workplace across the street from the theater’s surrounding shopping plaza, Lt. Ernie Herbert said. Co-workers and witnesses helped the woman get away safe-

ly, but Billodeaux threatened them with a gun and ran to the shopping plaza, police said. The owner of a business next to the Cineplex said police shut down the shopping center’s parking lot and stopped every car to look for the man. Officers with dogs checked each store, while a police helicopter hovered above. “There were 20 police cars blocking the entrance, then the fire truck and the ambulance rushed in,” Steve Krongard, the owner of the Nickel City arcade, said. “Then we saw seven cops with what looked like rifles, then paramedics went into the theater.” Herbert said police then learned that an armed man had ducked into the Cineplex. Capt. Terry McManus told U-T San Diego that police searched theater by theater and evacuated moviegoers until two officers spotted him in the sparsely attended showing of “Les Miserables.”

Do syllabus week right: Go out, go to class, exercise and get someone’s number HALEY JONES Staff Writer

Several people posted on the organization’s Facebook wall that they want the Chief back, the University’s longtime symbol that the NCAA proclaimed “hostile and abusive” and was banned in 2007. “We’re coming from the standpoint of whether or not you love the Chief, it’s been banned, and we’re trying to move forward from there,” Ferrarell said.

With all the extra free time, students can do almost whatever their heart desires, which usually involves fishbowls and fries. I have found a way to make one of the best weeks during the school year even more enjoyable, and it involves a little friendly competition between friends. The winner can brag that he or she had the best syllabus week of all time; you could even raise the Revival didn’t understand the tradition part of the Chief. It’s insulting that they want to replace it.” Michael Azzarello, junior in Engineering, said he thinks it is time for the University to find a new symbol. “Given the fact that we probably aren’t going back to the Chief and the legacy is still there, I think it’s okay to have something new to cheer for at the games,” Azzarello said. “I think it’s time to move on.” Current entries are posted on the Campus Spirit Revival Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ CampusSpiritRevival.

SEIU FROM PAGE 1A program because the percentage increases vary annually and could cause members to lose money, he said. Last year, campus wage program raises were about 2.5 percent and about 3 percent in 2011. Baldwin said in the two years prior, campus wages did not increase. “Three years ago, the campus wage (raise) was zero, and infl ation was not zero. So everyone who was on the campus wage program ... lost money,” Baldwin said. “What we’re saying to the University is that we cannot afford to lose any more money.”

The University is also insisting on having mail messengers work on holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, he said. “What we’re saying is that if they would like to have the benefits that the campus offers, then they should move from being prevailing wage employees to also using the campus wage program,” Kaler said. SEIU members are also considering striking because of a few unfair labor practice charges, one of which Baldwin sees as going against the previous contract negotiated two years ago. The University had made a committment to no longer outsource campus work, Baldwin said, however, the University has violated that policy about

35 times. “Those are our jobs that should be fi lled by our folk, so this is a huge issue for our people,” he said. “We were prepared to strike over it two years ago when we received all these assurances that it wouldn’t happen again.” However, these incidents have been a result of miscommunications, Kaler said, and the chancellor has asked the University to reserve those jobs for the building and services division. “Occasionally, there are units that, for whatever reason, maybe don’t know about the directive, and when we learn of those, then we have a process for having those units come back in line with the policy,” she said.

If not on syllabus week, when anything can happen, then when? With your friends, you can add more activities to the point system to make it specific to your group. Make sure you get to enjoy every bit of this crazy ride we call syllabus week.

Haley is a sophomore in Media and can be reached at hrjones2@dailyillini.com. The SEIU negotiating team and the University will continue to work toward a solution, Baldwin said. “The mood that we’re hearing from people definitely makes it sound like they’re going to vote yes,” he said. “But we continue to negotiate with the University in the hopes of reaching an agreement, and we have a federal mediator that we called in to help, but we have to prepare for the worst.” Between now and the upcoming strike authorization vote, SEIU plans to hold several demonstrations, including one Wednesday outside the University’s Physical Plant Services Building, 1501 S.

Calif. law encourages rape culture

SARAH GAVIN THE DAILY ILLINI

It is time to mend fences over the Chief so we can all move on

here is no question the legacy of Chief Illiniwek remains an ongoing and divisive chapter of our University’s history. The Chief decorates storefronts, homes and T-shirts across campus, and while the Chief no longer has a place on the field in Memorial Stadium, the stands are filled with his image. But even more importantly, the Chief’s place in the identity of our school has wavered little in the minds of many students on this campus; for those students (as well as alumni) the recent efforts the Campus Spirit Revival Facebook campaign appears an unabashed attempt to erase a piece of the University’s character and spirit. We don’t think efforts to find a new logo for the Fighting Illini is categorically wrong. But we do think this effort is occurring too soon and doesn’t take into consideration the real hurt felt by students over the loss. The Facebook campaign has attempted to make the distinction that its goal is not to replace the Chief or even to find a mascot, writing in a wall post that, “We are searching for a symbol, not so much a mascot. It seems many people are irked about the idea of a big cartoonish goon of a mascot clowning around on the sideline at every game. We are not necessarily pushing for that. We are pushing for a symbol, a seal, whatever you may wish to call it.” However, this attempt at clarification reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the debate. This is a dispute of meanings, not mascots. The Chief became a symbol of a generations-deep loyalty to the University. For these students, the loss of the Chief didn’t hurt because they lost some Native American aspect of their identity — it hurt because they lost a part of their identity as part of the greater, communal mission of the University. Many alumni and students feel they were let down by a university more concerned with rigid political correctness than its history. But the Chief is not coming back, and we think over time students will realize that our school spirit and identity do not trump the very real offense and denigration felt by Native Americans at the way their traditions and culture were being used. We do not get to tell someone else how they feel. We do not get to decide when someone else is offended and when they are not. But we also don’t get to tell students who loved the Chief that they should just get over it. The loss of the Chief caused real hurt to many, especially to students with family traditions tied to the beat of the Three In One. These students are not bigoted to Native Americans, but they suffered the implicit accusation that their love of The Chief was something else than love for The Fighting Illini and all it stands for. The University may find a new symbol, but we can’t have one until the bitterness has softened with the passing of time. When left unused, symbols lose power, but slowly. The Chief lives on through the vast number of alumni who were inspired by him. But as more and more students graduate without the Chief, they may choose to find a new symbol to express the very same values that the Chief did for as long as it did. A new symbol, such as a lion or wolf or Abraham Lincoln, will not have meaning like the Chief. Now is the time to heal the rifts caused by the loss of the Chief and to endeavour to recognize its values even when we can’t see it on the field.

tice provides no incentive for students to be their best. Since when did recognizing and rewarding the gifted and talented transform into the incredulous facade that every person is equal in talent, athleticism, brilliance or creativity? Educating students in batches, for instance, places emphasis on age as a defining factor of their intellectual capacity. It’s not. A 10-yearold capable of learning at an eighth grade level shouldn’t be placed in fifth grade. It plays to the practice of rewarding trophies for teams who don’t win. What does this say to our youth? “It doesn’t matter if you fail, you’ll still be rewarded.” There is something wrong here. We should be telling our kids to “work harder.” We are doing them a disservice by not encouraging them to excel and compete to win. But there is nothing wrong with competitiveness and winning, although I am starting to think our society believes so. We strive to be competitive on a global scale in our businesses and as a nation, but we don’t see it fit for the children who will one day become the leaders of this country. This competitive spirit is what fuels the desire to succeed and to be exceptional. How will the country prosper when its citizens are discouraged to work hard so early on? You can only be the best if you compete with the best. In a system where everyone is treated equally, we are leaving no room for improvement. No room to be exceptional. Students with special needs are not the same as gifted students. So they shouldn’t be treated the same. Standardizing doesn’t create a culture of excellence; it creates a culture of mediocrity.

ear California lawmakers, I know, I know, it’s a little strange to hear from me. Rarely, our paths ever cross, with me being in Champaign, and you being 2,100 miles away. In fact, I don’t remember the last time I thought about your court system. I usually just get in, hit up Disney Land and Universal Studios and get out. But ever since January, I’ve taken great interest in the way you conduct business, and I’ve got to say, I’m not entirely pleased. To be clear, under all circumstances, if a victim is sexually assaulted, it’s rape. But in California, apparently, it’s only rape if the assailant impersonates the spouse of the victim and rapes that married victim. Under California law, it only counts as rape if the victim is married. At least, that’s the law you quoted earlier this month during the case of case against Julio Morales. In 2009, he pretended to be a girl’s boyfriend at a party, and took advantage of her. However, an appellate court has overturned Morales’ conviction because of that California law. As you said, “If the woman had been married and the man had impersonated her husband, the answer (of rape) would be yes.” Excuse me as I go bang my head against the concrete for the 30th time. First of all, this is disturbing because it basically makes marriage into a twisted, unfair status symbol. Why does a marriage and a so-called higher sense of commitment protect a married woman more than a woman who is only dating someone? What about women who have been in a committed relationship for six years, or women who just don’t want to get married at all? And, because you are not a state that grants samesex marriages anymore, what about LGBT couples? These groups don’t deserve to be punished just because they’re without a marriage certificate. But I think the thing that makes me want to punch the wall the most is that you are just now deciding to change this law. I was thrilled to read that Attorney General Kamala D. Harris is working to change the law, and props to him for fighting. I’m glad the Julio Morales incident opened his eyes. But it really took over 140 years to change this? It really took a rape to shed light on this issue? Everyone should have equal protection under the law when it comes to sexual assault, and this should have been taken under consideration with past rape cases of this nature. It’s absurd this law still exists as is. On the surface, you may wonder why this should bother me. I am, as mentioned before, over 2,000 miles away. Plus, Illinois’ law doesn’t mirror California law. When it comes to rape, there is no weird marriage clause. However, it does bother me. It bothers me very much. One, because anytime anyone is raped, it should bother everyone. Two, because I have a couple of good friends in California, and God forbid, if anything were to happen to them, I want there to better protection than an outdated law. But this is also a problem to me because of this categorization of rape. This was used as nothing more than a loophole out of a rape charge, and it sickens me that Morales is off the hook because of it. Sexual assault should be simply treated as sexual assault. The fact that there is still a law like that in the United States shows that we as a society — and not just California — need to get more serious about ending our rape culture. The fact that Ohio high school football players thought that it was OK to rape a 16-year-old girl as they partied one night shows that society needs to get more serious about ending our rape culture. And the fact that a gang of men repeatedly and gruesomely raped a woman in New Delhi shows that the world needs to get more serious about ending rape culture. We have to attack the issue of sexual assault even harder. And we as citizens can do it, as journalist Lauren Wolfe wrote for CNN, by “focusing more on the perpetrators” and engaging in more dialogue that will encourage us put an end to rape. But we can’t do it alone. We need lawmakers and court members all over the country to stand up, take a look at what’s broken and get our ducks in order. After all, you have the power to change the law of the land. Use it.

New UI mascot effort misguided JOHN BUYSSE Opinions columnist

he Alma Mater’s open arms have served as a warm, welcoming symbol to prospective freshmen, current students and proud alumni for decades. This year, the University community is experiencing a brief loss of that warmth, felt any time we pass the void where Alma typically sat. Her absence is soothed by the fact that we know she will be back in time for graduation in May, and, better yet, she will be refreshed and revitalized after an intense restoration process. During Alma’s vacation, the University has elected to leave the space atop her inscribed base completely empty. Let’s be honest, who or what could ever replace her? The answer is no one and it is for this very reason that the campaign currently being pushed by the student group Campus Spirit Revival, is so disappointing. This group of students has decided that we, as a student body, would like a new mascot to replace Chief Illiniwek because the group feels that “a new official mascot is needed for the present and future.” This effort comes after several years of debate amongst past and present University community members and the eventual removal of the Chief in 2007. CSR has not put forward a specific alternative to our current lack of a physical mascot. Instead, they are inviting students to submit ideas for a contest. The group hopes to then organize a campus-wide vote where current students will be able to rank

their five favorite options that will, in turn, be included in a report to University administrators. This attempt to create a “unity building symbol” for students past, present and future is admirable and appears to have only the best intentions behind it. That being said, this group does not seem to grasp what has truly tied the global Illinois community together since 1867. In fact, no one thing ties this community together — including Chief Illiniwek. I chose to attend the University of Illinois for many reasons. The academic rigor, unbeatable nightlife and the overall college feel of campus were crucial to shaping my final decision. However, the overarching theme that touches on each of those and so many more is tradition. Anyone who has ever studied, worked or lived in the campus community of this University does not point to the Chief as the sole reason for why they love it so much. Instead, they point to the tradition of what it means to be an Illini. Whether it be a home football game, a night out at KAM’S or a day lounging on the Quad, students point to what constitutes being an Illini as the thing that binds them together with those that came before and those that will come later. This even includes a brutal all-nighter studying in the UGL and living through the strange weather that Champaign-Urbana offers. Although the Chief or any mascot serves as a symbol that theoretically ties what it means to be an Illini in a nice little bow, implementing any of the options currently being considered in CSR’s Facebook group would be an insult to proud alumni, unfair to future Illini and just

embarrassing for those of us who currently attend the University. Current options include an owl, a Kraken and even a tree. Imagine, for a second, that the University had launched a Facebook competition to replace the Alma Mater with sculptures or statues submitted by art students on campus. The attempts would be interesting to see but none would be able to replace the historical importance of the Alma Mater. The University’s decision to leave Alma’s spot empty was respectful, and her brief absence does not diminish the meaning that spot has to Illini everywhere. On top of everything previously mentioned, Campus Spirit Revival’s greatest fallacy seems to come in their name as it implies that the spirit of this campus and Illini everywhere need to be revived. Although the Chief no longer appears on clothing or during halftime at football games, the tradition and spirit that he represented is as strong as ever. In fact, while working at a college clothing store over winter break, I encountered an Illinois alum shopping for his girlfriend who also attended the University. When we had this shared connection of being Illini, we talked about our majors, favorite campus eateries and how awful this year’s football season went. And not the Chief. This conversation, superficial as it was, was fueled by a commonality — pride in our school and not our mascot. Conversations like that represent the Illini spirit better than any mascot ever could, be it Abe Lincoln, a tree, an owl or a Kraken.

No incentive to excel in public education TOMMY HEISER Opinions columnist

child left behind. What a terrible idea. We fantasize about American exceptionalism yet fail to excel in a significant number of areas when compared with our peers; we fall behind in math, science and literacy. The problem stems from our failing public education system and has worsened over time as our society transitions to a dependent welfare state. Over some fried onion rings and a pitcher of 312, my friends and I began talking about education. Two of the friends were K-12 teachers, both in English, and one for special needs students. They have a unique perspective on public education in America and where it is failing, particularly with the No Child Left Behind Act. Besides the abhorrent structural problems like the factory-line focus, there is a problem with the way we treat the exceptional, mediocre and special needs children. I would like to focus on the two extremes. The special needs teacher told me students are advanced to the next grade before they are ready. They fall behind at the higher level, become discouraged and end up failing classes and possibly dropping out. In special needs programs, teachers spend more time trying to care for their students than teaching them. To do that, we need more teachers. We poorly manage the few good teachers we have yet expect the same quality of education delivered no matter the circumstances. Because we have such an emphasis on treating everyone equally, we

are falling behind our peers around the globe, which weakens our competitiveness. Now, to treat everyone equally, we reward even those who finish last. We are failing them because they haven’t gained any necessary skills, and we subsequently forget about them. Further, according to a report from the Illinois News Bureau, research by Karrie Shogren, a special education professor at the University, suggests that a selfdirected learning program can help students with disabilities achieve goals and ease transition to the workplace or college. By improving students’ self-determination, which increases their likelihood to be employed, she said students “can earn higher wages and have better quality of life.” On the other hand, I asked the other teacher about gifted students and what the school offers them. He said they got rid of their gifted program because they didn’t want to make others feel inferior or think less of themselves. Effectively, we hold back the brilliant in fear of hurting the feelings of those who are not, yet we reward the students who are struggling by advancing them to the next grade. No child left behind, remember? If I were a student and saw a friend in the gifted program, it would make me want to work harder and achieve similar results. Perhaps, though, competition isn’t the right incentive for all students. The process of standardization discourages some students and limits others’ abilities to excel in an area they enjoy or perform better in. Moving away from this and grading students with an emphasis on what they’re good at can help reduce the feelings of negativity that are formed when compared to their peers. What we currently prac-

Fatal 1963 crash affects B-52 today Flaw discovered due to accidents BY DAVID SHARP ASSOCIATED PRESS

ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN, Maine — Flying low over snowy terrain on a Cold War training mission, Lt. Col. Dan Bulli’s massive B-52 bomber hit turbulence that shook the plane so violently that he couldn’t read the gauges. Pulling back on the yoke and pushing forward on the throttle, he tried to fly out of the severe wind. Then there was a loud bang. Moving at about 325 mph, the unarmed bomber banked, nose down, toward the unforgiving winter wilderness below. Unable to control the plane, Bulli signaled for the crew to eject. They had seconds to save themselves. Today, the B-52 Stratofortress is a legendary aircraft, one of the longest-serving in U.S. military history, even flying missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. The planes will remain in service for years to come. But it would not have become the workhorse it is without one disastrous flight 50 years ago next week, and a similar one six days later in New Mexico, that helped to underscore a deadly structural weakness. The fateful flight originated on Jan. 24, 1963, at Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts. The crew was learning to use terrain avoidance radar, designed to help the pilot fly at treetop level to deliver a nuclear strike. Radar advances by the Soviets forced the aircraft with a 185-foot wingspan to fly low to the ground to evade detection, causing unexpected structural fatigue, Underwood said. Bulli, now 90, was an experienced pilot with 9,000 fl ight hours, responsible for overseeing proficiency of other B-52

pilots and crews. Others, including two instructors, joined the flight. Gerald Adler, a navigator, took the seat of the electronic warfare officer. After hearing what sounded like an explosion — he later learned the vertical stabilizer had broken off — Bulli had just seconds to determine whether the plane was still flyable. Unable to control the aircraft, he ordered the crew to bail. The B-52 crashed into a mountainside, killing six crew members who couldn’t escape. A seventh, the co-pilot, died after slamming into a tree. But the crashes in Maine and New Mexico helped to make the B-52 the reliable aircraft it is today by revealing a fatal weakness in an aircraft that wasn’t designed for low-level flying: The vertical stabilizer snapped off under certain conditions. Fifty years after the crash, much of the debris remains on Elephant Mountain. Torn pieces of riveted metal. Wing chunks with hydraulic tubes dangling. Parts of the fuselage. Bundles of wire. Wheels and strut assemblies. The 40-foot-tall vertical stabilizer remains where it landed, 1 ½ miles from the other wreckage. About 10 miles away, at the clubhouse for the Moosehead Riders snowmobile club, newspaper clippings, Bulli’s parachute and Adler’s ejection seat are on display. The club has held ceremonies for 20 years at the site and will hold this year’s on Saturday, ahead of the anniversary. Pomerleau has taken over organizing the remembrances from another club member, Pete Pratt, who helped keep memory of the flight alive for years. “It’s a very solemn place,” said Pomerleau, who joined Pratt at the site. “You think of the families, the wives who lost their husbands, the kids who lost their fathers, the grandchildren who heard the stories. There’s so much to absorb.”

Egyptian supporters of ousted former President Hosni Mubarak celebrate an appeal granted by a court in Cairo, on Sunday. A court granted Mubarak’s appeal of his life sentence in a Sunday hearing, ordering a retrial of the ousted Egyptian president on charges that he failed to prevent the killing of hundreds of protesters during the uprising that toppled his regime nearly two years ago.

Court overturns Mubarak death penalty BY HAMZA HENDAWI ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO — An Egyptian appeals court on Sunday overturned Hosni Mubarak’s life sentence and ordered a retrial of the ousted leader in the killing of hundreds of protesters, a ruling likely to further unsettle a nation still reeling from political turmoil and complicate the struggle of his Islamist successor to assert his authority. The court’s decision put the spotlight back on the highly divisive issue of justice for Mubarak and his top security officers, who were also ordered retried, two years after the revolution that toppled him. The ruling poses a distraction for President Mohammed Morsi as he tries to restore law and order, grapple with a wrecked economy and deal with the aftermath of the worst political crisis since Mubarak’s ouster.

A new trial is virtually certain to dominate national headlines, attracting attention away from a crucial election for a new house of deputies roughly three months from now. Morsi and his Islamist allies are determined to win a comfortable majority in the new chamber, allowing them to take the helm of the most populous Arab nation. The ailing 8 4 -year- old Mubarak is currently being held in a military hospital and will not walk free after Sunday’s decision. He remains under investigation in an unrelated case. A small crowd of Mubarak loyalists erupted into applause after the ruling was announced. Holding portraits of the former president aloft, they broke into chants of, “Long live justice!” Another jubilant crowd later gathered outside the Nile-side Cairo hospital where Mubarak is

being held, passing out candies to pedestrians and motorists. Still, the crowds paled in comparison to the immediate reaction to Mubarak’s conviction and sentencing in June, when thousands took to the streets, some in celebration and others in anger that he escaped the death penalty. Sunday’s muted reaction indicates the fate of Egypt’s ruler of nearly three decades may have, at least for now, been reduced to a political footnote in a country sagging under the weight of a crippling economic crisis and anxious over its future direction under the rule of Islamists. No date has been set for the retrial, but attention is sure to dramatically pick up when it begins and Egyptians again watch fascinated by the sight of their country’s one-time strongman behind bars in the defendants’ cage.

If convicted, Mubarak could face a life sentence or have it reduced. He could also be acquitted. Under Egyptian law, a defendant cannot face a harsher sentence in a retrial, meaning the former leader cannot face the death penalty. The Court of Cassation did not immediately disclose its reasoning, but legal experts said the appeal was granted over a series of procedural problems in the conduct of the original trial. The ruling had been widely expected. When Mubarak was convicted in June, the presiding judge criticized the prosecution’s case, saying it lacked concrete evidence and failed to prove the protesters were killed by the police. Gamal Eid, a prominent rights lawyer, said the new trial could include new defendants and the judge ordering additional investigations.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — Israel’s prime minister pledged Sunday to move ahead with construction of a new Jewish settlement in a strategic part of the West Bank, speaking just hours after Israeli forces dragged dozens of Palestinian activists from the area. The activists pitched more than two dozen tents at the site on Friday, laying claim to the land and drawing attention to Israel’s internationally condemned settlement policy. Before dawn Sunday, hundreds of Israeli police and paramilitary border troops evicted the protesters. Despite the eviction, Mustafa Barghouti, one of the protest leaders, claimed success, saying the overall strategy is to “make (Israel’s) occupation costly.” The planned settlement, known as E-1, would deepen east Jerusalem’s separation from the West Bank, war-won areas the Palestinians want for their state. The project had been on hold for years, in part because of U.S. objections. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revived the E-1 plans late last year in response to the Palestinians’ successful bid for U.N. recognition of a state of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem. Jewish settlements are at the heart of the current four-year impasse in Mideast peace efforts. The Palestinians have refused to negotiate while Israel continues to build settlements on the lands they seek for their state. Netanyahu says peace talks should start without any preconditions. He also rejects any division of Jerusalem. Israel expanded the boundaries of east Jerusalem after

the 1967 war and then annexed the area — a move not recognized by the international community. Since then, it has built a ring of Jewish settlements in the enlarged eastern sector to cement its control over the city. E-1 would be built in the West Bank just east of Jerusalem, and would close one of the last options for Palestinians to create territorial continuity between Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem, their hopedfor capital, and the West Bank. According to building plans, E-1 would have more than 3,000 apartments. The Palestinians say they turned to the U.N. last November out of frustration with the deadlock in peace talks. They believe the international endorsement of the 1967 lines will bolster their position in negotiations. Israel has accused the Palestinians of trying to bypass the negotiating process and impose a solution. Netanyahu told Israel Army Radio on Sunday that it would take time to build E-1, citing planning procedures. Still, he said, “we will complete the planning, and there will be construction.” Asked why the protesters were removed, Netanyahu said, “They have no reason to be there. I asked immediately to close the area so people would not gather there needlessly and generate friction and disrupt public order.” Palestinian protest leaders hoped the tent camp would be the fi rst of a new type of wellplanned, nonviolent protests against Israeli policies in the Palestinian territories.

Associated Press writers Karin Laub in Ramallah and Amy Teibel in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

Thousands march through Russia to protest adoption ban BY LYNN BERRY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW — Thousands of people marched through Moscow on Sunday to protest Russia’s new law banning Americans from adopting Russian children, a far bigger number than expected in a sign that outrage over the ban has breathed some life into the dispirited antiKremlin opposition movement. Shouting “shame on the scum,” protesters carried posters of President Vladimir Putin and members of Russia’s parliament who overwhelmingly voted for the law last month. Up to 20,000 took part in the demonstration on a frigid, gray afternoon. The adoption ban has stoked the anger of the same middleclass, urban professionals who swelled the protest ranks last winter, when more than 100,000 people turned out for rallies to demand free elections and an

end to Putin’s 12 years in power. Since Putin began a third presidential term in May, the protests have fl agged as the opposition leaders have struggled to provide direction and capitalize on the broad discontent. Opponents of the adoption ban argue it victimizes children to make a political point. Eager to take advantage of this anger, the anti-Kremlin opposition has played the ban as further evidence that Putin and his parliament have lost the moral right to rule Russia. The Kremlin, however, has used the adoption controversy to further its efforts to discredit the opposition as unpatriotic and in the pay of the Americans. Sunday’s march may prove only a blip on what promises to be a long road for the protest movement, especially in the face of Kremlin efforts to stifle dissent.

Poehler, Fey thrilling at Golden Globes SAMANTHA KIESEL Editor-in-chief

he only thing that would have made this year’s 70th Golden Globe Awards better is if Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were on screen more. Be what it may, there is no doubt the hosts for the evening killed it in every moment they did have on screen. From one of the best opening monologues, to the fake nominee Damien Francisco, to the rant toward Lena Dunham after losing best actress in a TV comedy, these two comics hit the right spot. They weren’t as cruel as Ricky Gervais but were able to be incredibly entertaining. There is no doubt that Seth MacFarlane will feel the pres-

sure to be just as good, or better, at this year’s Oscars as Fey and Poehler have, easily, become my favorite awards host, ever. Well, since I’ve been around awards shows. And to think, they did this with barely singing! Though they were the highlight of the evening for me, Fey and Poehler were not the only worth-watching part of the Globes this year, and here are my five best moments from this year’s award. 5. Adele, Jennifer Lawrence and Ben Affleck’s acceptance speeches. All three of these first time winners were incredibly grateful, funny and charming. Adele went up while highfiving James Bond, I mean Daniel Craig. She said the word pissing referring to laughing throughout the show and she won our hearts all over again. Lawrence cracked several

jokes including beating Meryl Streep and thanking Harvey Weinstein for killing whomever he had to kill for her to win. Both are class acts. And to top it off, Affleck won the award for a category he isn’t even nominated for at this year’s Oscars. His speech was eloquent, excited and grateful. It also included a standing ovation from the audience. Not to mention, “Argo” was my favorite fi lm and it won Best Picture, a cherry on top of his winning night. 4. Bill Clinton. Before presenting nominee “Lincoln,” Clinton came out to present the fi lm and talk about Lincoln as a president. What made this moment way better is Amy Poehler came out after and said, “That was Hillary Clinton’s husband!” in true Leslie Knope fashion. 3. Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell as presenters. What must

have been a completely improvised act, these two SNL alums knew exactly what they were doing. While announcing the award for Best Actress in a Comedy, the two just talked off the books about what “happened” in the movie, when really they had no idea. There really isn’t any quality way to describe what they did, so just go watch it on YouTube, because it was hilarious. 2. Best Actress in a TV Comedy. While naming the nominees Fey and Poehler made sure they were not sitting alone. Instead Fey sat next to Jennifer Lopez and even better, Poehler sat on George Clooney’s lap. Then after losing, both were on the stage with a glass of alcohol ranting. 1. Opening monologue. Nothing really topped the opening minutes of the show

Illinois falls to Mich. State in front of season-high crowd BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

Free admission, the opportunity for autographs and a two-game road winning streak attracted 4,175 fans to the Illinois women’s basketball team’s annual “Pack the Hall” promotion Sunday, but the Illini were unable to send the season-high crowd home with a victory against Michigan State. The physical frontcourt of the Spartans (14-2, 2-1 Big Ten) took advantage of a rare off-game by Illini forward Karisma Penn and of Illinois’ overall lack of size to outlast Illinois (9-7, 2-2) 79-75. Michigan State jumped out to a 13-point lead with 9:03 remaining in the first half, but Illinois slowly came back and took its first and only lead with 9:09 remaining in regulation. The Spartans responded with a 13-0 run, and the Illini were able to cut the lead to four multiple times, but the Michigan State frontcourt proved to be too much. Senior Adrienne GodBold tried to will Illinois to a victory with a career-high 28 points, eight rebounds, four steals and three blocks, but a 27-rebound deficit and 21 team fouls made Illinois’ comeback bid fall short.

“It’s tough. We tried our best to leave it out on the floor,” GodBold said. “And to get the loss, it hurts, but it just gives us more heart and more of a mindset to work harder next game.” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant said Illinois’ man-to-man defense was not good enough against the Spartans. “In the end, we just didn’t get enough stops,” Bollant said. “If you’re going to be a good basketball team, you’ve got to get stops. We scored enough points. For us to shoot 50 percent in the game and lose is disappointing because we didn’t defend the way we’re capable of defending.” Michigan State grabbed 49 rebounds and had almost as many offensive rebounds (21) as Illinois had total (22). The Spartans were able to score 18 second-chance points and 40 points in the paint. Two Spartan forwards, Courtney Schiffauer and Jasmine Hines, were able to record double-doubles. Schiffauer scored 11 points with 11 rebounds, while Hines recorded 18 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, including eight offensive boards, in 22 minutes. Bollant said Ohio State and Northwestern — Illinois’ two most recent victims — both have similar size to Michigan State.

“It’s interesting how some games you can step up and play some big, physical teams and do great and today we didn’t.” Bollant said. “Obviously, part of that was KP getting in foul trouble. We just didn’t defend and rebound physically the way we need to.” Illinois played without junior forward Kersten Magrum, who is suffering from a concussion. Magrum has had multiple concussions in the past that have led her missing both practice time this offseason and games over the past three seasons. Magrum has attributed her multiple concussions to being undersized (6-foot-1) in the post. She also missed time earlier this season with a shoulder injury. “That hurt us today,” Bollant said. “Because she can rebound and defend against bigger kids, and other kids had to step into that role and do things that they hadn’t done before.” Magrum’s injury and Penn’s foul trouble forced Illinois to go to a lineup of GodBold, junior Amber Moore, sophomores Ivory Crawford, Alexis Smith and Taylor Tuck. At 6-foot, Tuck was the only 6-footer for Illinois against a Michigan State lineup that many times featured three players 6-foot-1 or taller.

Crawford and Moore both finished in double figures for the Illini with 16 and 13 points, respectively. Penn failed to reach double digits in scoring for the first time this season after committing five fouls in 23 minutes. Illinois was coming off of consecutive Big Ten road wins for the first time since 2004. In their last home game, the Illini fell to then-No. 14 Purdue in overtime 67-66. Illinois is now 3-2 with GodBold in the lineup. The Illini are recieving votes in the AP Top 25 poll for the first time since 2009, and they haven’t been ranked since they were No. 24 in November 2000. The Spartans were coming off a 76-55 loss to No. 9 Penn State on Jan. 6. Coming into the week, the Spartans touted the No. 2 scoring defense in the nation, allowing a Big Ten-low 45.6 points per game, and the most points Michigan State had allowed a single opponent was 60 points in its loss at then-No. 19 Dayton on Dec. 8. But Michigan State allowed its two opponents this week, Penn State and Illinois, 76 and 75 points, respectively.

Illinois hockey splits weekend against Lindenwood BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

his double-digit scoring streak snapped at 17. In every facet, Groce said, the Illini’s competitive consistency shattered Saturday. Richardson led the Illini with 16 points, but at the end of the game, the only player Groce could vouch for was sophomore Mike Shaw, who recorded two points and pulled down three rebounds in 19 minutes of action. He praised Shaw for his hustle after the sophomore played one minute against Minnesota and hadn’t played prior since Dec. 8 against Gonzaga. Groce said the rest of his team was not yet deserving of

With 6:38 gone in the first period in the first of a twogame series against Lindenwood, the Illinois hockey team was feeling confident. Junior Jacob Matysiak had just buried a go-ahead goal to put the Illini up 2-1 in a hostile road environment in Wentzville, Mo. Things would sour quickly for the Illini, as they gave up a goal 19 seconds later and two more in the period en route to a 7-4 Lindenwood victory Friday night. While Friday was a high-scoring affair, the defenses came to play in the finale, which resulted in a 2-1 overtime win for Illinois. “Friday’s game was a disappointment for us with the effort we gave in such an important game,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “There was just a lack of energy and intensity on our part, and (Lindenwood) came to play.” There was a playoff-like intensity to the games, as the two teams are extremely familiar with each other. In their first meeting this season Nov. 9-10, the Lions and the Illini spawned a fullfledged brawl that led to multiple suspensions for players on both sides. Although the gloves didn’t drop this weekend, the teams were extremely physical on the ice. “It was a very, very physical game between the whistles,” forward Scott Barrera said. “Everything was legal, and there was a lot of hitting.” Despite the physicality, the Illini couldn’t keep Lindenwood off the scoreboard at all on Friday — so much so that Fabbrini was forced to pull starting goaltender Nick Clarke in the first period.

No. 12 Illinois crushed at Wisconsin 74-51 BY ETHAN ASOFSKY SENIOR WRITER

MADISON, Wis. — Call it a blowout. Say the Illini never got off the bus. Chase down the Kohl Center employee that screwed a lid over Illinois’ basket and widened Wisconsin’s in the first half. Whatever overused hyperbole you care to use to describe the 74-51 whooping Wisconsin put on Illinois on Saturday, it’s probably an understatement. It was a bag-over-the-head game, a trend Illini fans hoped had ended with the final whistle of the football season. Not even worldrenowned PGA golfer and Illinois alumnus Steve Stricker was in the Illini’s corner. The Madison, Wis.,

resident adorned a Wisconsin hat in the stands, a decision he probably didn’t regret after the Badgers started the game on a 14-3 run — an almost identical start to how the Illini began their game at the Kohl Center last season, which they lost 70-56. “They controlled the game from the beginning to the end,” senior D.J. Richardson said. “And this is a hard building to win in. I think I’ve won here one time in my career, and they just took it to us from the beginning of the game.” While the outcomes of the Illini’s trip to the Kohl Center this season and last were similar, the reality is this season’s Illini are

radically different. Last year, the Illini were hurting when they traveled to Wisconsin, having lost 10 of their last 12. On Saturday, Richardson said the No. 12 Illini lost their competitive spirit because their locker room felt like the favorites. Go figure. “Nothing went right. We played sluggish,” Richardson said. “We just need to get to a better start. We have to come in and play like we’re the underdogs.” Illini head coach John Groce said that message wasn’t properly delivered from his captains. Richardson, along with fellow captains Brandon Paul, Sam McLaurin and Tracy Abrams, felt the brunt of Groce’s postgame frustration for

not having the team prepared to play from the tip, and Richardson echoed his coach’s disappointment in the team’s leaders. After the Illini headed into the half down 39-19, McLaurin, Paul and Richardson were given the floor to motivate a second-half push. Illinois came out flat once again, scoring just two points over the first four minutes of the second frame. Abrams, perhaps the Illini’s most consistent player since the start of the Big Ten season, sat for long stretches of the first half because Groce said he didn’t like his intensity. Senior forward Mike Bruesewitz shut down Paul, who scored eight points and had

Illinois wrestling tops Purdue in home-opener, winning 7 of 10 matches BY DAN BERNSTEIN STAFF WRITER

Competing without All-American 125-pound Jesse Delgado and 133-pound Daryl Thomas did not deter the Illinois wrestling team from securing a victory against Purdue in its home-opener Friday. In front of a crowd of 1,069 fans at Huff Hall, the Illini won seven of their 10 matches and gained bonus points from B.J. Futrell, Matt Nora and Tony Dallago to claim the border battle 29-10. Dominic Olivieri filled in for

the injured Delgado at 125 while Logan Arlis wrestled in place of Thomas at 133. Delgado and Thomas are both expected to return for Friday’s match against Nebraska. “I think we performed well,” senior Mario Gonzales said. “We were missing our starters at 125 and 133 and those were two matches we lost. They were looking a little flat that day but overall as a team we started off the Big Ten dual season with a win, which is good.” Gonzalez, who wrestles at 197

pounds, defeated No. 18 Braden Atwood by an 11-4 decision, giving him his seventh win of the young season. “Honestly, I just went in the ring and told myself, ‘There’s no way this guy can beat me,’” he said. “When the whistle blew, I just kept moving forward and forward and good things happened. I pretty much dominated the match.” Gonzalez was not the only Illini to control his match. Jordan Blanton, ranked No. 4 at 174 pounds, defeated Chad Welch 10-2, Futrell

moved past Brandon Nelson 13-5 at 141 and No. 7 Conrad Polz overpowered Pat Robinson 10-3 at 165. Two of the more impressive victories for the Illini came from 184-pound Dallago, who pinned Andy Wiseman in 1 minute, 25 seconds, and from 157-pound redshirt freshman Matt Nora, who pinned returning NCAA qualifier Tommy Churchard in 4:34. “It was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better moment for my first Big Ten match,” Nora said. “But most of all I have been work-

ing really hard this year, harder than I ever have, and it feels great to finally have some of the hard work and dedication pay off.” Nora found himself down 3-0 early in the match but turned Churchard on his back to record his third pin of the season. “I knew that if I just kept the pressure on and kept working hard, I knew that he would break eventually.” Nora said. Head coach Jim Heffernan said he was very pleased with his team’s performance on Friday

night. “We tell our guys every day, ‘If you wrestle hard, you have a chance to win every match,’ and I think that’s what a lot of them did tonight,” Heffernan said in a press release. “Tony looked good and was pretty excited all week. Nice to start the weekend with a win and give our guys a few more days to heal. We need our guys to get healthy, it’s very critical.”

No. 15 Buckeyes upset No. 2 Wolverines Defeat prevents Michigan from claiming first No. 1 ranking since November 1992 BY RUSTY MILLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A ball that rattled around the rim and bounced out separated Michigan from its fi rst No. 1 ranking in more than 20 years. Point guard Trey Burke’s stepback jumper with 17 seconds went down, then came out, leaving No. 2 Michigan on the wrong side of a 56-53 loss to rival and 15th-ranked Ohio State on Sunday. After No. 1 Duke lost to North Carolina State a day earlier, the Wolverines were in prime position to ascend to No. 1 for the fi rst time since November 1992. Instead, they went home with their fi rst loss, also depriving them of the best start in school history. “Some go in and some don’t,” said Burke, a sophomore who just happens to be from Columbus and is friends with several of the Buckeyes. “I thought it was going in. It looked good. I think it went in and then came out.” Michigan (16-1, 3-1 Big Ten)

trailed 52-50 and had the ball as the seconds sifted away. Everyone in a hoarse, capacity crowd of 18,809 knew that Burke, a star at Columbus’ Northland High School where he was a teammate of former Buckeye Jared Sullinger, would likely take the last shot. Aaron Craft — whom Michigan coach John Beilein said was as good as any defender he had ever seen — prevented Burke from driving. His path blocked, Burke jumped back and then launched the shot. Lenzelle Smith Jr. grabbed the rebound. A moment later he was fouled again and hit two free throws for breathing room. Craft, who had struggled on offense most of the season, then made two more foul shots to more than offset Burke’s circus 3-pointer with a second left. The Buckeyes had done most of their offensive damage early, following Burke’s opening 3-pointer with a 16-0 run that was started and ended with baskets by Deshaun Thomas, who led the Buckeyes (13-

3, 3-1) with 20 points. From there on, it was just a matter of whether Ohio State — which had blown a late lead at Duke in November — could hold off the Wolverines, who came in averaging 81 points a game with four starters in double figures. Burke led Michigan, which was trying to exceed the 16-0 start of the 1985-86 team, with 15 points. Tim Hardaway Jr. added 12. Down 21 points in the fi rst half, Michigan kept chipping away. The Wolverines switched defenses, causing the Buckeyes problems with matchup zones. Eventually, Glenn Robinson III fl ipped in a 3-pointer from the right wing to tie it at 46 with just under 6 minutes left. The Buckeyes regained some momentum when Shannon Scott fed post player Evan Ravenel for a dunk to regain the lead. On the next possession, Ohio State went inside again and Ravenel, averaging 6.3 points a game, bulled his way for another basket. After another Michigan missed shot, Thomas took a pass on the left baseline and made a quick spin to the end line before banking in a shot for a 52-46 lead.

The Wolverines missed six straight field goal attempts down the stretch, going scoreless for more than 4 minutes until Burke hit two free throws with 1:37 left to cut the lead to 52-48. A steal and dunk by Robinson made it 52-50 with 1:16 left, setting up the potential tying shot by Burke, who grew up a rabid fan of the Buckeyes but wasn’t recruited by coach Thad Matta because he already had Craft and was close to signing Scott to play point. The Buckeyes have been at their best against their worst opponents, and vice versa. They came into the game 12-0 vs. unranked teams and 0-3 against those in the Top 25. But after what even the players called an up-and-down season, they came up especially big against their most heated opponent. After Craft had discounted the possibility that the Buckeyes drew any extra incentive by wanting to prevent their archrivals from taking over the top spot in the polls, Ravenel spoke up. “There’s always satisfaction in denying Michigan the No. 1 spot in the country,” he said with a wide grin.

Wisconsin’s Ryan Evans, center, shoots against Illinois’ Tracy Abrams, left, Mike LaTulip (10) and Nnanna Egwu (32) on Saturday in Madison, Wis. Wisconsin upset No. 12 Illinois 74-51. Illinos shot 35 percent from he field and 14 percent from 3, while Wisconsin shot 49 percent and 44 percent, respectively.

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B praise and left everything open to change in the postgame news conference. “The one guy that I know that played his butt off in the 19 minutes he was in there was Mike Shaw,” Groce said. “Mike Shaw played like his head was held under water.” Illinois finished the game with two assists and was outrebounded

43-24 after it retained 74 percent of defensive rebounds against the No. 1 rebounding team in the country, Minnesota, on Wednesday. Collectively, the Illini shot 26 percent from the field and 13 percent from behind the arc in the first half and didn’t score their first field goal until the 12:38 mark. A small second-half push inspired a minute or two of positivity, but still, the Illini finished the game with a 35 percent shooting percentage from the field and shot just 14 percent from 3, while

Wisconsin shot 49 percent from the field and 44 percent from long distance. Those numbers don’t lie. The Illini got flat-out beat by Wisconsin, the Big Ten’s No. 1 scoring defense. “At the end of the day, their competitive spirit was better than ours to start the game,” Groce said. “That is unacceptable. We have to figure it out pretty quick. We have another one on Thursday.” The Illini are 1-3 in Big Ten play and haven’t proved they can

win in a hostile environment on the road. After the Illini’s Jan. 2 road loss to Purdue was avenged by their Jan. 5 win over Ohio State, the Illini couldn’t amend Wednesday’s loss to No. 8 Minnesota on Saturday. Groce went easy on his team in practice this past week in an attempt to keep his team fresh after the physical loss. He promised that wouldn’t happen after this last one.

Men’s gymnastics wins using new format BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s gymnastics team posted one of its highest scores ever this weekend. A new format of the five-up, five-count meet will be going into effect this season on March 11, but Illinois competed a six-up, five-count Saturday, leading to an uncharacteristically high score in its victory over Illinois (Chicago) 425.45-385.75. Instead of the usual six competitors performing on each event and only the top four scores counting toward the total, six gymnasts competed and the top five scores counted. The previous season average under the old format was 350.614 points. Illinois will continue this format to help transition into the five-up, five-count format. “There were a few events where we had to count some big miss-

es because we had to count that fifth score,” Illinois head coach Justin Spring said. “We want to finish every routine as if we are counting that score because in the end, when it counts, that’s how it’s going to be and we need to be ready for that.” Before Saturday, the Illini hadn’t seen sophomore C.J. Maestas since the start of winter break. He was given extended time off because he isn’t able to train due to a torn tricep. Though Maestas wasn’t in the gym with his teammates the past few weeks, Spring said “his presence will always be missed, but that the team has learned how to form an identity without him.” Maestas wasn’t able to compete against UIC but flew to Chicago to support his team. “I think just C.J. being in the gym and working back as fast

as he is and getting recovered and getting stronger is a motivation for everyone,” senior Vince Smurro said. “Everyone does need to step up and we know C.J.’s not going to be back, but it happens. It happens to every team and we just have to accept that challenge.” The Illini won all six events, including the all-around competition. Freshman Joey Peters had a strong debut for the Illini, clinching the all-around and parallel bars title. Before attending Illinois, Peters was a member of the 2011 and 2012 national team. He said he didn’t know he was in the hunt for the titles while adjusting to the collegiate level of competition. “Throughout the meet, I wasn’t even thinking about that,” Peters said. “I was thinking about the next guy up on the event and

cheering them on, and the next thing you know, the meet is over. It seems like you just walk in the arena and then you’re leaving. It goes so fast that you don’t even think about that stuff.” Illinois normally opens the season with the Windy City Invitational, but there was an extra week before the invitational this year, providing the Illini with an opportunity to open the season more casually. “The intensity and quickness of the Windy City competition with six teams and six events is high,” Spring said. “To be able to start the season out like this, having guys throw new routines, new big skills, new vaults and things like that in a slightly less-pressured situation was really beneficial.”

HOCKEY FROM PAGE 1B entered the game and made 31 saves in the crease, which Fabbrini called a “bright spot” in Friday’s game, but Lindenwood had too much fi repower, stifl ing any comeback hopes. The volume of shots that Lindenwood threw on net was a problem for Illinois; the Lions fi red 49 shots in each of the games, compared with just 36 and 31 for Illinois, respectively. “I think we left Clarke out to dry on Friday,” Fabbrini said. “There’s not a whole lot he could’ve done on those goals. We’ve done that a lot to him this year.” Clarke, along with better help

from the defense, would turn things around Saturday. The goaltender recorded 48 saves in the game, and Barrera provided the offense for Illinois, notching both goals to eke out a 2-1 win in the extra period. While the team’s fl at play on Friday could have been attributed to the holiday break, Fabbrini said he wasn’t buying it. “I think the break may have played a bit of a role, but that’s just an excuse, to be honest with you,” he said. “I think it’s just a mental thing for us ... giving up a goal 30 seconds into the game is showing you’re not ready to play.”

Debate culture rules ESPN, which rules sports. It’s slightly more complicated than that, but that’s the gist. ESPN found that getting in arguments about things on public television entrances viewers, confusing them and causing them to believe that something important is going on because of the raised tempers of the debaters involved. We’ve seen this in the (real) news media. Debates are the most interesting parts of political campaigns because that’s what normal people do when they talk about politics. Discussion turns into debate. The two are very different. CNN used to broadcast a program called “Crossfire,” in which it would take a left-wing political pundit and a right-wing political pundit and encourage them to get angry at each other. Sensitivity was destroyed, sensibility obliterated. The show averaged 615,000 viewers a night, making it fairly popular. It raked in its audience from its controversial moments and helped political dummies figure out what they should think about certain issues. The same effect is what captivates sports fans who spend their mornings watching “First Take,” the program Bayless —

along with Stephen A. Smith — turned into a phenomenon. The issues discussed in “Crossfire” and “First Take” are all two-sided. You’re on one side of the fence or the other. You get so heated about the ongoing exchange that you fail to realize they are simply splitting hairs — the debates don’t matter. If you don’t engage in them, nothing bad will happen.

The Reason Nothing important has ever been said on “First Take.” It is like “Crossfire” in this regard, but correlation is not causation, and “First Take” wasn’t created to be like “Crossfire.” “First Take” is a simpler, longer, more potent version of “Around the Horn,” also on ESPN, where four nationally known columnists give opinions on several different issues in sports. “Around the Horn” is a derivative of “Pardon the Interruption,” a show where two columnists who hold generally different views discuss issues in sports. If you trace “First Take” back to its source, you can see the respectable beginnings from whence came such garbage. Debate is naturally polarizing, and viewers align themselves with one pole or the other. As the discussion unfurls on television, viewers are partaking in the battle of who’s right — something that’s been going on in sports ever since some shmuck at a New York bar claimed Ted Williams had eclipsed Babe Ruth as the greatest hitter the world’s ever seen. Imagine if ESPN’s programming was nothing but analysis and reporting — guys like Ron Jaworski dissecting Tampa 2’s and Buster Olney getting to the bottom of which prospects were included in the Yankees’ latest trade. It would be interesting and informative, but without passion (besides Jaws’ love for Peyton Manning’s field vision) and therefore, arguably, boring. ESPN fills in the blanks with opinion-driven shows that cause viewers to think about sports and try to be right, turning it into a bookie with membership to ESPN’s credible fan club as currency. This is what CNN was doing, too, with “Crossfire.” And here’s the encouraging part: “Crossfire” is no longer on the air.

The Solution How can we, the knowledgeable sports fans who won’t sink to low levels such as that of Tebowmania, ensure “First Take” (and Skip Bayless’ starlight) go the way of “Crossfire”? Well, we can’t, really. Not if we’re replicating the demise of “Crossfire.” On Oct. 15, 2004, Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show” appeared on “Crossfire” to promote his new book. In reality, Stewart, funny guy/inside man that he is, used the appearance as a platform to condemn the nature and validity of the show. The host and two pundits on live television were defenseless. One pundit made a swipe at the casualness of Stewart’s recent interview with then-presidential candidate John Kerry, to which Stewart responded that he’s a comedian, not a journalist on a news network fueling and hurting the public discourse. As a result, “Crossfire” is long gone and “The Daily Show” is a mainstay. In the world of sports, we have our “Crossfire” but no one to pull the trigger and take out “First Take.” Perhaps it’s a sign of the producer executives as well. CNN CEO Jonathan Klein then wanted to “change the tone of the shows on the network” because he “sympathized with Jon Stewart’s criticisms” (yeah, I’m quoting Wikipedia, whatever). Meanwhile ESPN’s corporate gurus are holding up the Nielsen ratings and screaming “dolla dolla bill, ya’ll” (not a Wikipedia quote). Comedy Central has tried a couple of sports shows, including ones by comedic entities such as The Onion and Norm Macdonald, but none of these efforts seemed to take. Hmm, if only there was a popular sports entity that covered sports media in a comedic way that could provide an outlet for fans who are tired of ESPN’s pageantry and the debate culture’s severe infliction on the public sports discourse. The solution’s there, but it’s just online. Deadspin, get yourself a television show.

Cal. women top Stanford in 67-55 victory BY JANIE MCCAULEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STANFORD, Calif. — Gennifer Brandon had 14 points and 12 rebounds and No. 7 California snapped fifth-ranked Stanford’s 81-game winning streak against conference opponents with a commanding 67-55 win Sunday in the second meeting between the Bay Area rivals in six days. Brittany Boyd added 19 points while Layshia Clarendon had 14 to help the Golden Bears beat a top-5 opponent for the first time since a 66-52 victory against No. 2 Rutgers on Nov. 22, 2008. Mikayla Lyles scored 11 of her career-bestmatching 14 points over the final 6:04 of the first half as Cal (13-2, 3-1 Pac-12) took control on the way to snapping Stanford’s 10-game winning streak in the series and three-year run of dominance against the conference. The Bears earned just their fourth victory in the last 46 meetings with Stanford (14-2, 3-1) — even more special now that both are among the nation’s top-10. They might just swap spots in the next poll now. Chiney Ogwumike had 18 points and nine rebounds as Stanford dropped consecutive home games for the first time in 12 years. Cal, whose only losses this season have come against Stanford and at No. 4 Duke, ended the Cardinal’s impressive conference winning streak that dated to a 57-54 Bears win at Haas MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ THE ASSOCIATE PRESS From left, Stanford 's Chiney Ogwumike (13), California's Pavilion in Berkeley on Jan. 18, 2009.

Atlanta regains the lead, defeats Seattle on last-second field goal BY PAUL NEWBERRY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STEPHAN SAVOIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady passes the AFC divisional playoff NFL football game against the Houston Texans in Foxborough, Mass., on Sunday. The Patriots won 41-28.

Patriots defeat Texans, will play for AFC title BY BARRY WILNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady became the winningest quarterback in postseason play, throwing for three touchdowns Sunday to beat Houston 41-28 and lift the New England Patriots into the AFC championship game. Brady got his 17th victory, surpassing his childhood hero, Joe Montana, by throwing for 344 yards. Seldom-used running back Shane Vereen scored three times, twice on receptions. If Brady can lead the Patriots (13-4) past Baltimore (12-6) in next Sunday’s conference title game, then win the Super Bowl, he’ll equal the 49ers’ Hall of Famer for NFL championships. The Patriots and Ravens will be meeting for the AFC title for the second straight year. Baltimore, which stunned top-seeded Denver in double overtime Saturday, lost 23-20 at Gillette Stadium last January. Houston (13-5) performed far better than in a 42-14 loss here last month. But the Texans couldn’t slow down Brady. The Patriots overcame a 94-yard return by Danieal Manning on the opening kickoff

thanks to Brady and Vereen and led 31-13 after three quarters. Shayne Graham kicked a 55-yard field goal on the final play of the first half after a short punt by Zoltan Mesko gave the Texans the ball at their 38-yard line. That cut the lead to 17-13. But the Patriots (12-4) scored on two of their three series in the third quarter on an 8-yard run by Stevan Ridley and a 5-yard pass from Brady to Brandon Lloyd. The Patriots got little help from running back Danny Woodhead and tight end Rob Gronkowski, who left with injuries. Woodhead hurt his thumb after carrying the ball on the Patriots’ first offensive play and Gronkowski went to the locker room with an arm injury midway through the period. Gronkowski was playing his second game since breaking his left forearm. The Patriots had early troubles on offense, punting on their first two possessions. Brady was sacked once, with NFL sacks leader J.J. Watt and Brooks Reed sharing credit for it. In the first meeting with the Texans, Brady threw three touchdown passes on the Patriots’ first three possessions.

ATLANTA — Matt Bryant pumped his fist and celebrated atop the Falcons logo in the middle of the field. Tony Gonzalez broke down in tears. Matt Ryan relished the thought of not having to answer a familiar question. The Atlanta Falcons finally showed they could win a playoff game. After a historic meltdown in the fourth quarter, the Falcons pulled off a comeback that will long be remembered in championshipstarved Atlanta. Ryan completed two long passes and Bryant kicked a 49-yard field goal with 8 seconds remaining, lifting the NFC’s top seed to a stunning 30-28 victory over Russell Wilson and the gutty Seattle Seahawks in a divisional game Sunday. “Wow!” said Falcons coach Mike Smith, summing up this classic as well as anyone could. Atlanta (14-3) squandered a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter, falling behind for the first time all day when Marshawn Lynch scored on a 2-yard run with 31 seconds left for a 28-27 lead. No team has ever won a playoff game when facing such a daunting deficit in the final period. A pair of Matty Ices — Ryan and Bryant — made sure the Falcons didn’t become the first. Ryan, shaking off his struggles in three previous playoff losses and two interceptions against the Seahawks, hooked up with Harry Douglas on a 29-yard pass in front of the Falcons bench, and Smith quickly signaled a timeout. Then, Ryan went down the middle to his favorite target Gonzalez playing what could’ve been his final game. Gonzalez hauled in the 19-yard throw, and Smith called his final timeout with 13 seconds remaining. Instead of risking another play and having the clock run out, he sent Bryant in for the field goal try. The Seahawks called time just before the ball was snapped, and Bryant’s kick sailed right of the upright. That turned out to be nothing more than practice. The next one was right down the middle as Bryant took off in the other direction, pumping his fist before he was mobbed by his teammates. “Our quarterback is a special player,” Smith said. “They call him Matty Ice, but I feel like we’ve got two Matty Ices. There’s Matty Ice Ryan and Matty Ice Bryant.” The Falcons overcame their

The Falcons won 30-28. reputation for choking in the playoffs, winning their first postseason game since 2004. They’ll host San Francisco in the NFC championship game next Sunday. “Nobody flinched,” Ryan said. “We just kept battling, kept doing what we do. That’s been the makeup of our team all season.” Bryant knocked through his third game-winning kick of the season. But he’d never made one

like this, with so much on the line. “When they scored their touchdown, I walked down (the sideline),” he said. “I told the offensive line, I told (Ryan), I told all the receivers, ‘We’ve done this before.’” Wilson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, doing all he could to pull off the most improbable of comebacks for the Seahawks (12-6). But their defense, which is one of the NFL’s best. had

totally stymied the Falcons in the fourth quarter, but went to a softer coverage and got burned. Atlanta had just enough time to pull off a comeback of its own. “We had high, high hopes for the rest of the season,” Wilson said. “When the game was over, I was very disappointed. But walking back into the tunnel, I got so excited about next year. The resilience we showed was unbelievable.”
