Students volunteer in honor of MLK Day BY YELE AJAYI STAFF WRITER

honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Office of Volunteer Programs hosted its annual day of service Monday. Five service projects were set up around campus where student groups volunteered for a variety of causes. The projects included meal packaging, neighborhood clean-up and maintenance for seniors. Greg Damhorst, director of Illini Fighting Hunger and graduate student, said the service day honored King by serving families in need, educating younger students and maintaining the local environment, factors that were important to King and followed his preachings. “An important part of this is that we’re helping people from diverse backgrounds and bringing people together who normally wouldn’t be. It really is all in line with Mar-

tin Luther King’s vision,” Damhorst said. “It’s the sense of serving and helping people in need.” The event kicked off at the ARC, where Vaneitta Goines, director of the OVP, showed clips from the time of the civil rights movement. Following a discussion, pre-registered student groups headed out to their assigned locations to complete their service projects. At the Illini Union, Damhorst helped volunteers package meals that would be sent to the Eastern Illinois Foodbank and the Wesley Foundation. At La Casa cultural house, student staff from the OVP spoke to volunteers about how youth were involved in the civil rights movement and what communities today are doing today to solve racial conflict. “We hope people get out of this workshop that, yes, this happened in the past, but it’s happening now and we see this workshop as a continuation of that,” said Andrea Herrera,

senior in LAS. At the Urbana Neighborhood Connections Center, University students talked to children ranging in age from 6 to 10 about King’s mission. Students interested in environmental issues and local, healthy farming traveled out to Tiny Greens organic farms to help with many aspects of the organic farm and indoor growing facility. Illini Fighting Hunger, a satellite organization of Kids Against Hunger, helped local high school students package pasta meals for the Eastern Illinois Foodbank. Max Colon, freshman in LAS, said Illini Fighting Hunger is also trying to organize a program with University dining hall services to allow students to donate some of their meal credits, which would provide Illini Fighting Hunger the ability to provide some of the food for packaging and donation.

Illini Fighting Hunger, a satellite organization of Kids Against Hunger, helped local high school students package pasta meals for the Eastern Illinois Foodbank. Max Colon, a freshman in the college of LAS, serves as the equipment coordinator for Illini Fighting Hunger. Colon signed up to do meal packaging at an event earlier in the year and said he was amazed with the nearly 12,000 meals packaged by a group of only 80 or so volunteers. Illini Fighting Hunger provides the leadership for meal packaging while other organizations provide the funding to buy the food for packaging.

Students interested in environmental issues and local, healthy farming traveled to Tiny Greens organic farms in Urbana. The volunteers helped plant potatoes, clear brush from forest areas and talked with community organizer Dustin Kelly about portions of the farm that are currently not being used. The farm used to produce alfalfa sprouts and baby micro greens, but after a salmonella outbreak in 2010, it had to recall much of its product and shut down in order to contain the outbreak, Kelly said. “I want to see what ideas the students can come up with to put this place back into production,” he said.

At the Urbana Neighborhood Connections Center, University students talked to children ranging in age from 6-10 years old about Martin Luther King Jr.’s mission. Christine Davis, junior in LAS, asked the children about their dreams and how they will achieve them. This project fit in with King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Other University students helped the children with an exercise called “F is for freedom,” which prompted them to talk about what freedom means as an American and in their lives. Some children also made a Martin Luther King Jr. book to commemorate the holiday.

At the Illini Union, Greg Damhorst, director of Illini Fighting Hunger and graduate student, helped volunteers package meals that would be sent over the Eastern Illinois Foodbank and the Wesley Foundation, a campus church and foundation. Their goal was to package more than 12,000 meals, consisting of vegetables and casseroles. Volunteers divided into groups of six and were assigned to tables full of food to be packaged. Damhorst said the event was in following with the work of Martin Luther King Jr., as he had a vision of helping others.

Andrea Herrera, senior in LAS, led an activism workshop at the La Casa Cultural Latina. Student staff from the Office of Volunteer Programs spoke to volunteers about how youth were involved in past civil rights movements. “We’re bringing it back to now and what is going on,” Herrera said. Students from Tucson, Ariz. also Skyped in and discussed the racial struggles they faced, such as the ban on ethnic studies programs in the Tucson Unified School District. The program included a presentation on immigration and deportation and what communities do in response to these issues.

Obama demands equality for all at 2nd inauguration BY DAVID ESPO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Turning the page on years of war and recession, President Barack Obama summoned a divided nation Monday to act with “passion and dedication” to broaden equality and prosperity at home, nurture democracy around the world and combat global warming as he embarked on a second term before a vast and cheering crowd that spilled down the historic National Mall. “America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands,” the 44th president declared in a second inaugural address that broke new ground by assigning gay rights a prominent place in the wider struggle for equality for all. In a unity plea to politicians and the nation at large, he called for “collective action” to confront challenges and said, “Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time — but it does require us to act in our time.” Elected four years ago as America’s first black president, Obama spoke from specially constructed flag-bedecked stands

The Urbana City Council will discuss an ordinance requesting the rezoning of the block on Lincoln Avenue between Church and Hill streets from residential housing to neighborhood business zoning during its Tuesday meeting. Howard Wakeland, owner of Advantage Properties, owns nine of the 11 properties on the block, seven of which hold sin-

gle-family houses and four of which are vacant. The two other properties are owned and occupied by families who, unlike their neighbors, have declined offers to sell their homes to Wakeland. Wakeland first tried in May 2008 to rezone the properties, located two blocks north of University Avenue, to a general business zone but withdrew his application after facing opposition at a public hearing that month. The meeting minutes show Wakeland wanted to rezone

Six new police officers sworn into Champaign Police Department, helping fulfill limited staff quotas BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER

As the Champaign Police D e p a r t m e n t ’s search committee continues to search for two more officers, six new officers were sworn in early this month. Lt. Jim Clark was the coordinator of the hiring committee and said the department was short-staffed

because of retiring officers. Because the department wants to maintain a police force of 119 officers, the additional two officers will allow them to hit that “magic number.” Two of the new officers are training at the University’s Police Training Institute. Mayor Don Gerard said he

Russia helps evacuate Syria as tensions rise BY BASSEM MROUE AND VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT — Russia said Monday it is sending two planes to Lebanon to start evacuating its citizens from Syria, the strongest sign yet that President Bashar Assad’s most important international ally has serious doubts about his ability to cling to power. The Russian announcement came as anti-government activists reported violence around the country, including air raids on the town of Beit Sahm near Damascus International Airport, just south of the capital. Russian officials said about 100 of the tens of thousands of Russian nationals in the country will be taken out overland to Lebanon and flown home from there, presumably because renewed fighting near the airport in Damascus has made it too dangerous for the foreigners to use that route out of the Syrian capital. Assad has dismissed calls that he step down. He has proposed a national reconciliation conference, elections and a new constitution, but the opposition insists he play no role in a resolution to the conflict. The U.N. says more than 60,000 people have died in the civil war since March 2011. Russia has been Assad’s main ally since the confl ict began, using its veto power in the U.N. Security Council to shield Damascus from international sanctions. Russia recently started to distance itself from the Syrian ruler, signaling that it is resigned to him losing power. Russian President Vladimir Putin said last month that he understands Syria needs change and that he was not protecting Assad. Russian officials say the evacuation of thousands of its citizens from Syria — many of them Russian women married to Syrians — could be by both air and sea. A squadron of Russian Navy ships currently is in the Mediterranean for a planned exercise near Syrian shores later this month. Military officials earlier said that the exercise will simulate marines landing and taking people on board from the shore. Earlier this month, Lakhdar Brahimi, who is the joint U.N.Arab League envoy for Syria, said that Russia seemed as determined as the United States to end Syria’s civil war, but that he didn’t expect a political solution to emerge anytime soon. The Arab League chief said Monday that Brahimi’s mission had not yielded even a “fl icker of hope.” In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Nabil

A Free Syrian Army fighter runs for cover, as another fires his weapon during heavy clashes with government forces in Aleppo, Syria, Sunday. The revolt against President Bashar Assad began in March 2011 with peaceful protests but morphed into a civil war that has killed more than 60,000 people, according to a recent United Nations estimate. Elaraby proposed that the heads of state gathered there at an economic summit call for an immediate meeting of the U.N. Security Council. He suggested the security council adopt a resolution calling for a cease-fi re in Syria and establish a monitoring force to ensure compliance. Syria’s defense minister said Monday that the army would keep chasing rebels all over the country “until it achieves victory and thwarts the conspiracy that Syria is being subjected to.” Gen. Fahd Jassem al-Freij’s comments came as activists reported air raids and shelling around the nation. Monday’s fighting included a helicopter raid in the northeastern town of Tabqa that killed

eight people, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The Observatory also reported a car bombing in the Damascus neighborhood of Dummar and said another car bomb exploded late Monday in central Syria, killing at least 30 pro-government gunmen in Salamiyeh. In addition, the group said there were clashes in the town of Ras al-Ayn near the border with Turkey between fighters from the Kurdish Democratic Union Party, or PYD, which leans in favor of Syria’s government and antigovernment rebels, who entered the town in November. Tensions have flared between Syria and Turkey after shells fi red from Syria landed on the

NASA’s other Mars rover still chugging along after 10 years BY ALICIA CHANG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Opportunity, NASA’s other Mars rover, has tooled around the red planet for so long it’s easy to forget it’s still alive. Some 5,000 miles away from the limelight surrounding Curiosity’s every move, Opportunity this week quietly embarks on its 10th year of exploration — a sweet milestone since it was only tasked to work for three months. “Opportunity is still going. Go figure,” said mission deputy principal investigator Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis. True, it’s not as snazzy as Curiosity, the most high-tech interplanetary rover ever designed. It awed the world with its landing near the Martian equator five months ago. After so many years craterhopping, Opportunity is showing its age: It has an arthritic joint in its robotic arm and it drives mostly backward due to a balky front wheel — more annoyances than show-stoppers. For the past several months, it has been parked on a clay-rich hill along the western rim of Endeavour Crater that’s unlike any scenery it encountered before. It plans to wrap up at its

PRE-UCC FROM PAGE 1A in order to “turn a rundown area into something that would bring the city more tax revenue.” Wakeland submitted an application for rezoning for the second time last fall, this time for neighborhood business zoning, which is more restrictive than general business zoning in the types of businesses it allows. Between October and December 2012, city plan commission members discussed the issue and on Dec. 20 voted unanimously to recommend that the city council approve the properties for neighborhood business zoning. Wakeland could not be reached for comment despite several attempts.

current spot in the next several months and then drive south where the terrain looks even riper for discoveries. Long before Curiosity became everybody’s favorite rover, Opportunity was the darling. The six-wheel, solar-powered rover parachuted to Eagle Crater in Mars’ southern hemisphere on Jan. 24, 2004, weeks after its twin Spirit landed on the opposite side of the planet. During the first three months, there were frequent updates about the twin rovers’ antics. The world, it seemed, followed every trail, every rock touched and even kept up with Spirit’s health scare that it eventually recovered from. Opportunity immediately lived up to its name, touching down in an ancient lakebed brimming with minerals that formed in the presence of water, a key ingredient for life. After grinding into rocks and sifting through dirt, Opportunity made one of the enduring fi nds on Mars: Signs abound of an ancient environment that was warmer and wetter than today’s dusty, cold desert state. Spirit, on the other hand, landed in a less interesting spot and had to drive some distance to find geologic evidence of past water.

After six productive years wheeling around, it fell silent in 2010, forever stuck in Martian sand. Opportunity went on to poke into four other craters, uncovering even more hints that water existed on Mars long ago. The rover “is not like a lander staring at the same real estate. We’ve gone to different terrains, explored different geology and answered different questions on Mars,” said project manager John Callas of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which runs the $984 million project. What’s still unknown is whether Mars ever had the right environmental conditions to support microscopic organisms — something Curiosity is trying to answer during its two-year mission. Besides water, it’s generally agreed that a power source like the sun and carbon-based compounds are essential for life. Unlike the fl ashier Curiosity, armed with the latest tools, Opportunity is not equipped with a carbon detector. Its latest crater destination, which it arrived at last year after an epic threeyear journey, contains sections rich in clay deposits. Clays typically form in the presence of water and can be a fi ne preserver of carbon material. But scientists will never know.

Tyler Fitch, member of the Plan Commission, said that when the application came in four years ago, he was not in support of the rezoning, but as the area has changed so has his vote. “I changed my mind because of some changes in the neighborhood,” he said. “Carle has expanded to the north ... (and) the street has been widened and is a hightraffic corridor.” Fitch said he thinks eventually the west side of Lincoln Avenue will become commercial. Some council members, however, think that because residents still live in the proposed rezoning area, now is not the time to commercialize the block. Alderman Dennis Roberts, Ward 5, said that while Wakeland’s long-range plans might be in accord with the city for the

future, the city is not currently ready for this rezoning. “If we were to rezone, we would be acting as an agent to force the current homeowners to have to consider selling out the property at a devaluation of their homes,” he said. Alderman Eric Jakobsson, Ward 2, is also concerned about the current residents who are surrounded by Wakeland’s properties but wish to continue living in a residential area. “There’s always this tension between quality of life in residential neighborhoods and densities that will maximize a commercial profit,” he said. “The government’s job is to find that right balance.” Alderman Charlie Smyth, Ward 1, said that balance may be achieved through planned unit development, a collaborative pro-

Turkish side of the border. As a result, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States decided to send two batteries of Patriot air defense missiles each to protect Turkey, their NATO ally. On Monday, German soldiers unloaded trucks carrying the missile systems at the port of Iskenderun, while another ship, carrying the Dutch shipment, waited its turn anchored at the harbor. The U.N. said that there are an estimated 4 million people were in urgent need of humanitarian assistance in Syria, including at least 2 million who are internally displaced. With harsh winter conditions, people are facing heavy rains and sub-zero temperatures, often without adequate food, shelter, water or access to medical care.

The McClatchy news organization published a report on Monday, supporting activists’ claim that Syrian forces have been targeting bakeries. According to data compiled by the news organization, government forces attacked bread lines and bakeries at least 80 times last year, causing hundreds of casualties and in most cases destroying the bakeries. The Syrian government, meantime, blamed a rebel attack on a key power line for a blackout that hit Damascus and much of the country’s south overnight, leaving residents cold and in the dark amid a fuel crisis that has stranded many at home. The Syrian capital’s 2.5 million residents have grown used

to frequent power cuts as the country’s confl ict has damaged infrastructure and sapped the government’s finances. But some said Monday that the overnight outage was the fi rst to darken the entire capital since the confl ict began. The blackout hit residents especially hard because of rampant fuel shortages and belowfreezing temperatures. By midday Monday, power had returned to more than half of the capital, and Electricity Minister Imad Khamis said authorities were working to restore it in other areas.

campaign that catapulted him to re-election “A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun,” said the president who presided over the end to the U.S. combat role in Iraq, set a timetable for doing the same in Afghanistan and took office when the worst recession in decades was still deepening. “We will support democracy from Asia to Africa, from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom,” he said. The former community organizer made it clear he views government as an engine of progress. While that was far from surprising for a Democrat, his emphasis on the need to combat global climate change was unexpected, as was his firm new declaration of support for full gay rights. In a jab at climate-change doubters, he said, “Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fi res and crippling drought and more powerful storms.” He said America must lead in the transition to sustainable energy resources. He likened the struggle for gay rights to earlier crusades for women’s suffrage and racial equality. “Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well,” said the

president, who waited until his campaign for re-election last year to announce his support for gay marriage. His speech hinted only barely at issues likely to spark opposition from Republicans who hold power in the House. He defended Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security as programs that “do not make us a nation of takers; they free is to take the risks that made this country great.” He referred briefly to making “the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit,” a rhetorical bow to a looming debate in which Republicans are seeking spending cuts in health care programs to slow the rise in a $16.4 trillion national debt. He also cited a need for legislation to ease access to voting, an issue of particular concern to minority groups, and to immigration reform and gun-control legislation that he is expected to go into at length in his State of the Union speech on Feb. 12. But his speech was less a list of legislative proposals than a plea for tackling challenges. “We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect,” he said, and today’s “victories will only be partial.”

and oral interviews with a panel of people that established a list of 30 possible candidates. After additional interviews with the chief of police and commanding officers of the Champaign Police Department, Chief Anthony Cobb selected the fi nal candidates. The department posted a photo with the new officers on its Facebook page when the officers were sworn in at a Champaign City Council meeting Jan. 8 . The other four had experience and began their duties the second week of January. The two officers who are training at PTI are expected to graduate in March, at which point they will begin their duties.

Outside, the Inaugural Parade took shape, a reflection of American musicality and diversity that featured military units, bands, floats, the Chinese American Community Center Folk Dance Troupe from Hockessin, Del., and the Isiserettes Drill & Drum Corps from Des Moines, Iowa. The president emerged from his car and walked several blocks on foot. His wife, Michelle, was with him, and the two held hands while acknowledging the cheers from well-wishers during two separate strolls along the route. A short time later, accompanied by their children and the vice president and his family, the first couple settled in to view the parade from a reviewing stand built in front of the White House. In his brief, 18-minute speech, Obama did not dwell on the most pressing challenges of the past four years. He barely mentioned the struggle to reduce the federal deficit, a fight that has occupied much of his and Congress’ time and promises the same in months to come. He spoke up for the poor — “Our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it” — and for those on the next-higher rung — “We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class.” The second reference echoed his calls from the presidential

cess that brings together the developer, city council and neighborhood to plan redevelopment of the area. “This lets you bring in a design and specific things, so when you build, you work with the neighborhood and build something that fits with the other uses of that neighborhood,” he said. “It lets you do a lot of give and take.” If planned unit development were used, the properties would remain as residential zoning, but Wakeland would still have the opportunity to develop businesses so long as the community approves of the redevelopment. The Urbana City Council will meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the city building, 400 S. Vine St.

MAP grant funding necessary for students who can’t afford education

nowledge is invaluable but the cost of the education may not seem as worth it. That’s a sentiment not too distant from students at this university: College is expensive. Figuring out how to pay for it can be a significant challenge for students year after year. Despite the expense, students across the state continue to enroll in Illinois universities — they know that college is a necessary cost. They believe that life without a college degree might be even costlier. But scrounging up the funds isn’t easy. Parents of these students will begin submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), hoping to secure funds for their students for at least one year more. Hope is necessary when submitting the FAFSA because it helps to soften the reality that this year neither they nor their student may get all the money they need for a costly University of Illinois education. The state recognizes this need. Although the federal Pell Grant is the most fundamental part of the financial aid package, state grants like the Monetary Award Program (MAP) provide a solid base to a financial aid package. Essentially, the more grant money a needy student receives, the less money they need to secure in loans. The MAP grant, like most government grants, face greater challenges each year when meeting needs of students. The number of students who want to attend colleges goes up each year, and so does tuition — we’ll find out just how much tuition will go up next year on Thursday. But the state’s allocations into programs like MAP doesn’t keep up with these increases. What makes grants like these even more difficult to fund is that they are need based, not merit based. Everyone who qualifies for these grants needs them. At their heart, these needbased grants provide the access to higher education so desired by many students of lower- and middle-income families. In addition to giving needy students the ability to come to this University and others throughout the state, the grants can bring more in-state diversity to the school. Increasing diversity is one of the major goals of this University: Chancellor Phyllis Wise made a point of making the school a welcoming community for all and the University has plans to open an office in China. A major part of that diversity comes from socioeconomic differences, which provide the classroom with perspectives and experiences that races, gender or sexual orientation cannot. With recent elections and changes in Illinois government, we can only hope that the state continues to realize what a benefit and opportunity the MAP grant and other grants and scholarships have afforded students. Access for many students is dependent on a state that can help give it to them.

SARAH FISCHER Opinions columnist

aged an annual return of 10 percent since 1926? Why do we pay mutual fund managers to take on more risk when they are no different from us, except for the amount of capital they control? The performance of mutual fund managers can be compared to results of coin flipping. You’re better off picking 5 stocks you know and holding them until retirement. Let’s take a retirement account that grows tax free. If you are 22 years old and invest $2,600 now and every year until you are 30, and earn a 10 percent return each year, you will have about $1 million at age 65. If you start at 31 and invest $2,600 every year until you are 65, you will only have about $704,000. Investing early is probably the smartest advice anyone can give you. As my professor, who also runs a hedge fund, said market timing is difficult: You’ll most likely be wrong. Unfortunately, the average investor does not have the time nor the knowledge to analyze stocks like professionals. This is why we look for mutual fund managers who have beaten the market in the past, even though historical returns do not predict future performance. We are better off following Warren Buffett’s strategy and Peter Lynch’s, who ran one of the most successful mutual funds ever. If you diversify your portfolio, not bet on the 50-1 horse named Lucky Charm, but maybe place a show bet on strong horses, and reinvest with a long-term horizon, then perhaps we can earn that 10 percent return and go home a winner.

here are three types of racers in the Tour: the sprinters, the climbers and the oh-god-pleasedon’t-let-me-die-why-did-I-do-this riders. Most fall under the last category. A quick overview of the Tour de France: It, along with the Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a Espana, is one of the most famous cycling races. It occurs once every year. Hundreds attempt it, and not everyone finishes. It is made up of stages, both individual and team. There is an overall winner and a points winner, but few outside the race understand how the points system works. The “Best Young Rider” has to be under 26. The race occurs mostly in France, though the first stage, called “the prologue,” often occurs in another country. The French are terrible at it. In 2007, the Tour snaked its way around London, and hundreds of riders in skin-tight, brightly colored, sweat-ridden, logo-covered jerseys eased into the journey to come. I happened to be there with my family on our first trip abroad. My dad was the one who got me interested in cycling and in the Tour, and we planned our trip so that — even if we couldn’t see the cyclists finish on the Champs Elysees — we could watch them speed by the Tower of London. Lance Armstrong didn’t compete in that race, still two years shy of coming out of retirement. I won’t rehash Armstrong’s story here. It’s been plastered over the news since the first accusation against him when he was still racing, since before the confession, before the testimony of teammates, before the denials, before the frozen urine and before the never-failed drug test. The Tour has a long history of doping, cheating and protests. In 1904, the Tour’s second year, 12 riders were disqualified, some for illegal use of cars and trains. In 1950, after an Italian team leader was threatened with a knife, two Italian teams withdrew from the race. In 1966, riders went on strike in response to drug tests being conducted. In 2010, Australian cyclist Mark Renshaw was disqualified after headbutting a rider. That same year’s Tour winner, Alberto Contador, was later stripped of his title after failing a doping test. His title was given to runner-up Andy Schleck, whose brother Fränk tested positive in the 2012 race. The fact that Lance’s seven wins were not reallocated to the runnerup further speaks to the prevalence of doping within the sport. The New York Times published an article last October depicting all of the cyclists who both finished in the top ten and “tested positive, admitted to doping or (have) been sanctioned by an official cycling or doping agency.” More than a third of the top-10 finishers have used performanceenhancing drugs since 1998. An especially poor year was 2003, with seven of the top 10 finishers being linked to doping. German journalist Hans Halter wrote of the Tour in 1998: “For as long as the Tour has existed, since 1903, its participants have been doping themselves. No dope, no hope. The Tour, in fact, is only possible because — not despite the fact — there is doping.” Though just a bike race, four cyclists and 27 spectators have died in the Tour, and hundreds if not thousands more have been injured. They race up steep inclines at a speed of 25 mph. They ride on cobblestones in the rain. They break arms, legs, collarbones, backs. They get hit by cars and fall into barbed wire fences. Yet still they finish. To me, Lance’s story is still an inspiration. Overcoming cancer on its own is an accomplishment worthy of praise, let alone riding for 21 days over roughly 2,000 miles in France for over a decade. I do not feel outraged at his drug use. I do not feel disappointed in him as a role model or as a hero or as a spokesperson for cancer survivors. I feel sad. Just sad. That athletes feel they have to chemically enhance themselves to maintain superiority, to keep the public interest, to win, saddens me. I don’t want to maintain a collective culture where we encourage our heroes to excel beyond a point that is humanly possible and then decry them when they let us down, or when we learn that they did it only with help from some kind of drug.

The necessity of exercising your beliefs RENÉE WUNDERLICH Opinions columnist

am guilt-tripping myself to the best of my abilities as I trudge through campus, head down, making my way east. It’s not like I did anything that bad over winter break, but I know can’t keep making excuses. I told myself I just needed to go — that I’ll feel better, that the guilt will fade away. It’s a new year, and I’m going back. To the gym. Some people pray. I do push-ups. Some quote verses. I follow dance choreography. I’m not exercising just for my health — I believe in fitness. I believe that if I go to my aerobics class tonight, I’ll be a more patient, clear-headed person than I am right now. I believe in what working out does for my mind and body, even if I don’t always see the instant results. I’m not saying physical exercise is by any means identical to faith in a deity, but in identifying as a gym rat I almost feel religious. I am part of a community. I do things out of habit because I think it will be good for me — and I wipe down the elliptical after I’m done because I would want someone else to do the same for me. The fitness world has the whole “acceptance” thing down much better than today’s major world religions. If so many different types of people can co-exist peacefully in a fitness center, what’s stopping us from doing the same thing on this planet when it comes to religion?

You’ve got your devoted fitness junkies who make working out their lives, while others only go a few times a week. But don’t forget your fair-weather gym-goers who frequent only when the holiday calories start to creep up or because someone in their family eggs them on. Some wear more modest clothing because the gym for them is not somewhere to show off, it’s a place to focus on getting healthy. For others, health takes a backseat to weight-lifting competitions or who can wear the tiniest shorts — just to be seen at the gym is a goal for many. And for better or worse, not everyone feels like they belong in a gym. Going to one may feel odd, even downright terrifying, especially if you’ve never been in a fitness center or have not visited for years. Issues with self-confidence keep people from going places that may expose perceived “flaws.” The people, much less the institution itself, can sometimes be quite intimidating. For this and other personal reasons, many active individuals choose to exercise at home or in private. Everyone listens to different music, does different exercises and has a different level of focus and personal background. Everyone thinks his or her workout is the best, but most will at least entertain other opinions when it comes to how to stretch or how to fuel a workout. Examples of tolerance exist on a daily basis all around us, and yet religion is a topic that supposedly cannot be paralleled. Why is it that the term “belief” is somehow most powerful when associated with faith?

Maybe it’s not always what or whom we believe in but simply that we believe. Belief, the inner strength that fuels cognitive conviction, has been sighted as the negative side of humanity; wars fought over whose god said what, laws made on which book reads how. But what about all the positives that believing in something, anything, can bring? Conviction has been cited in the sports world as being a key motivator toward success; i.e. an athlete tends to perform better when he or she believes in winning the title, scoring the most points, setting a new record. Placebo effects in medical practices such as scam arm surgeries cited by The World Research Foundation found that those patients who had undergone a fake surgery reported just as much recovery as those who received actual treatment. They believed in the doctors, in the procedure and in the fact that they would get better. Belief makes us feel better about ourselves, gets us focused on helping others and maybe even gives us the willpower to fight temptation. Belief, whether religious or not, is a good thing. But all too often, people interpret the notion of belief through only one lens. Believe in what gives you strength, gives you clarity, gives you courage. Believe in what makes you a better person. Believe that others can be better, too. Believe that we can all somehow get along. And if all else fails, at least believe in yourself.

Investing in the stock market a tossup TOMMY HEISER Opinions columnist

nvesting in the stock market is like a horse racing stadium, and the market is like the race. You have the everyday people who stand or sit on the lawn, you have the well-todo people, perhaps more qualified, who enjoy the bleachers and shade, and then you have the big players upstairs and inside, behind roped-off areas. Of course, there are multiple strategies to betting horses. Some are good. Some are not. I like to pick the underdog to hit it big. This is sort of similar to betting 00 on a roulette table, but with poorer odds. Because when you consider the law of large numbers, odds always favor the house. For the average investor, you are limited in strategies. For example, you have the conventional Warren Buffet “buy and hold” enthusiasts and you have the average Americanwho-pretends-he-is-an-aficionado and severely overestimate his abilities. But what separates us from the qualified investors? Being “qualified” is not about more knowledge, more experience or certification, or at least something to “qualify” their title. It’s about none of this — you just have to be wealthy. Clearly, Kim Kardashian and Warren Buffett share the same knowledge on investing. Both are “qualified” investors, yet one might be more deserving of the title than the other. In short, you must be able

to afford to lose money. One difference is the type of strategies in the market. Unlike us, one way they can do this is by leveraging, or borrowing beyond their principal, to increase return. Another way is access to different types of horses like hedge funds. Advantages the average person doesn’t have. Most commonly, people will invest in a mutual fund because while it reduces risk, it also reduces the chance of making it big. Now, the people up top are the owners. Keeping with the horse race analogy, they earn more from their specific knowledge and strategies of owning the horses and betting on them too. So, how do you invest in hedge fund managers and market wizards? They are most like the people up top for a number of reasons. They enjoy the benefits of significant capital but also superior access to information, specific knowledge, resources and unlimited strategies. Why unlimited? They are unregulated and can do anything to achieve superior returns. There is no typical investment, but $1 million is a good start. And you must be “qualified.” Only the rich get to play. Take, for example, JPMorgan’s recent $6 billion loss on a complex set of trades using derivatives known as credit default swaps. Although it was meant to reduce risk, the extraordinary complexity severely impacted the group’s understanding of the payoff. Being “qualified” doesn’t necessarily make you the most intelligent investor. So, why does everyone try to outperform the market, which has aver-

That's Rentertainment, at Sixth and John streets, is the only locally owned video rental store in Champaign.

Local video rental remains one of the few in existence BY ALICE SMELYANSKY STAFF WRITER

Tucked between a floral shop and a travel agency rests a little hub of history. British mysteries, documentaries and thousands of independent films fill the aisles of a rental store that has been in business since 1985. Though it relocated to its current location on the corner of Sixth and John streets in 1994, That’s Rentertainment, Champaign-Urbana’s only locally owned video rental, has managed to maintain its spot despite moving into the digital age. “There aren’t any independent stores left in this town, and there’s really few left nationwide,” store owner Geoffrey Merritt said. “But we’re still doing all right, and I think mainly because we stock films that you still can’t get on Netflix or other streaming places.” Back when That’s Rentertainment had competitors on campus, it stood out for its large selection of foreign films, classics, anime and gay and lesbian films. Today, while it preserves those films, Merritt believes his store is one of the only places where students can delve into a selection of movies that may not even exist online. “I really get watching stuff online. I think if you know what you want and you could just go get it, it’s super easy,” he said. “But if somebody’s relying solely on Netflix to do all their movie-watching, I think they’re missing a huge chunk of movies.”

Movie enthusiast and Champaign native Nicole Schweighart admits to streaming movies online simply for its convenience. However, the freshman in DGS misses the experience that came along with renting a movie from a store. “When I was younger, I think it was more exciting because you’d go pick out your disc and then get popcorn and candy,” Schweighart said. “When I’d have a movie night, I’d always plan it out. And now you just don’t really have that anymore.” Schweighart starts to reminisce about her childhood when she steps into That’s Rentertainment. Yet Merritt remembers a time when rental stores were the only method she could discover the world of film. Before visiting a new town, Merritt would first find the nearest bookstores, record stores and video stores. Even before he was old enough to travel to foreign places in search of authentic attractions, Merritt had a love for movies. Both of his parents were faculty at the University and were part of running film festivals on campus in the late ’60s and ’70s. “My parents were friends with the Jahiels, and we used to go to their house and watch movies,” he said. Edwin Jahiel was a professor of film at the University and a film critic for the News-Gazett. He “had a 6 mm or 8 mm projector in his basement and had all sorts of great films that we could sit around and watch.”

Years later, professors still maintain a connection to the film presence on campus by directing students to rent movies for class from That’s Rentertainment. Professors often drop off their syllabus at the store at the beginning of a semester to ensure that the store will offer the films they’ve listed. As far as the amount of movies that the owner of the rental store has seen over the course of his lifetime, the number remains unknown. With over 40,000 movies in the store, Merritt said he couldn’t even venture a guess. Though fewer people own or rent movies, That’s Rentertainment employee Theodore Merritt thinks there will always be people that prefer a TV screen and a tangible disc over something online. “I don’t stream movies. I can’t see watching a movie on a little laptop screen,” Merritt said. “I like a big TV when I’m watching a movie.” Merritt agrees with his employee, as there are still die-hard film and music fans that will buy CDs and DVDs. They are few and far between. “And who’s to say that’s a bad thing? I mean, maybe that’s great. Maybe we’re the ones that were weirdos,” Merritt said. “I know we’re the ones that were weirdos. But I still miss all of the weirdos that do that sort of thing.”

DISH OF THE WEEK

Making room for a monster spud BY KAYLA BURNS STAFF WRITER

For spud lovers, the classic baked potato can be simply enjoyed with a dollop of sour cream, or stuffed with a variety of toppings. Intermezzo Cafe, which is tucked away in Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, prefers the stuffed method. Their take on the comfort food, the Monster Stuffed Baked Potato, is available for lunch every Tuesday for vegans and meat-eaters alike. Intermezzo Cafe is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., as well as before and after performances. This cafe has a variety of dining options to fit different tastes and includes vegetarian and vegan menu items. The cafe’s weekday specials are always a popular option among customers, said Jolene Perry, manager at Intermezzo for more than 14 years. They change daily and include a choice of fountain drink. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., but Perry said the spe-

cial is usually sold out by 1:30 p.m. Tuesday’s special, the Monster Stuffed Baked Potato, costs just under $5 and always draws a crowd. It is a large potato filled with a choice of toppings that include cheddar cheese, bacon bits, sour cream and green onion. There is also a Vegan Monster Stuffed Baked Potato, which is topped with Intermezzo’s signature vegan chili and green onions. Customers are able to choose which toppings to include and which to omit. The cafe, which originally started as a snack bar decades ago, serves its dishes made to order, and anything can be ordered to go. The cafe has a full menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For breakfast, the menu offers a wide variety including breakfast pizza or a soy sausage sandwich. For lunch and dinner, Intermezzo serves sandwiches, soups and salads. Some unique features of the cafe’s menu are its organic options, as well as some ingredients that

are locally grown. For example, customers can substitute organic lettuce into their meal at no extra cost. Intermezzo has also received Green Business Certification from the Illinois Green Business Association. Their food containers are biodegradable, and the takeout boxes are made from corn-based recyclable products, according to their website. Taylor McCoy, Intermezzo employee, said that usually the cafe’s busiest hour is from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays. McCoy added that although the most popular choice varies, the cheeseburger, which is served daily, is also a common selection. When a craving for a spud strikes, Intermezzo Cafe welcomes customers to enjoy their Monster Stuffed Baked Potato, whether they’re waiting for a Krannert performance to start or just looking for a quick lunch.

Saturday, one year after Megaupload was shut down by the U.S. Department of Justice, founder Kim Dotcom launched his new online file hosting service, Mega. Ironically, considering how he spent the last year being prosecuted by movie and record industry giants, Mega was announced up and running with a ceremony held outside his New Zealand mansion filled with theatrics and performances, including a re-enactment of the FBI raid. Within 24 hours of cloud storage service’s launch, over 1 million users had signed up. “Why all the pomp and circumstance?” you may ask. “Aren’t there dozens of other file hosting services already, like Dropbox and Google Drive?” While that is true, Mega isn’t simply another file-hosting alternative; rather, it’s a statement by Dotcom and his supporters against the U.S. government’s overzealous crusade

against copyright infringement. With its unique built-in file encryption and message encryption, Mega may prove to be the start of similar file-sharing services that will protect users’ privacy. To better understand the significance of Mega, you need to know the story of Megaupload. Founded in 2005, Megaupload was designed to be an online file-hosting and viewing service. But by the time it was shut down in 2012, Megaupload had become the 13th most visited site on the Internet, with over 50 million visitors per day and 180 million registered users. On Jan. 19, 2012, the Department of Justice shut down Megaupload and charged Kim Dotcom with multiple accounts of promoting criminal copyright infringement. In order to prevent similar charges, Mega encrypts all data users upload with the block cypher AES-128. The data uploaded is transformed with an encryption key before stored in the cloud storage. When the file is retrieved, the key is used to reverse the process and unencrypt the data. Each user is randomly generated a key once at

sign up and linked to the user’s account. What this means is, no matter what type of file you upload, no one besides you — not even Mega — knows what the file is. And unless you provide others with the key, even if your file is downloaded by other users, they will not be able to view it. However, because of this strict adherence to privacy by Mega, each user’s key is generated only once and not stored or kept by Mega. This makes it imperative that you do not lose your key; otherwise you will never be able to access your data again. With that said, in the end this encryption process will protect Dotcom and Mega more than its users. By encrypting the data so not even Mega knows what it is, the website can claim plausible deniability and put the blame squarely on the users who do upload copyright infringing materials. Hopefully, Mega will be the start of widespread encrypted Web services to help protect the privacy of users everywhere.

Twitter, Facebook can help or hurt you in job hunt BY ROHAINA HASSAN STAFF WRITER

In the past couple of years, social media sites have gained momentum, and one can claim they have taken over people’s lives. Sites like Facebook and Twitter have become an integral part of many students’ personal lives, and social media behavior has begun to spill into their professional lives as well. While keeping a clean social media image is important in a job search, actually learning the ins and outs of Twitter can benefit students in future careers. For example, monitoring competitor brands via Twitter is a key marketing tactic used by many brands. Companies such as Sherwin-Williams and Moleskine tweet out to their consumers and create a very personal connection to them. Other public relations, media and retail companies also use Twitter to connect with their customers, so learning to use the site could come in handy. Aside from companies using social media as a tool, jobseekers and the currently employed can use them as well. In some cases, a simple and witty tweet could lead to a job interview — or even an offer. However, there are also some horror stories, which have lead to people losing a job or even more serious repercussions. Sunny Woo, junior in Business, told the story of a person she knew who lost a job offer because of inappropriate content on one of his social media sites. This person bought a plane ticket, flew out to a city for a job interview and got a call from the human resources department that the company had rescinded its offer. You can take a couple of steps to clean up your Twitter. First, use social media the way it is intended. Frances Sears, assistant director for Career Services in the College of Business, advises students to avoid using LinkedIn similarly to how they use Facebook. When adding someone on LinkedIn, make sure you know him or her in some capacity and have some type of professional tie. It’s also important to have the mindset of how you can benefit the person, versus how they can benefit you. Twitter, on the other hand, allows a more comfortable

relationship with potential recruiters and executives of top companies. Tweeting, retweeting and even following them can keep you in the know. However, when you do begin to tweet in the realm of these professionals, be mindful of what is posted. Negative comments about anything are best not tweeted at all. “You don’t want to say anything negative about anybody else, a product, a brand,” Sears said. “Just because you have no idea who could be reading that, it is out there for the world.” If your tweets are questionable, you can privatize your account; however, you cannot control your friends or what they post. Niki Hoesman, sophomore in AHS, said she makes sure her friends ask her permission before they tag her in photos. Although Twitter does not offer this security measure, you can ask your friends to clear it by you before they mention you in a tweet that might be visible to the public. There’s a certain decorum in daily life, and it’s important to carry that over into social media, namely Twitter. More than Facebook or LinkedIn, Twitter is a more personal and accessible connection to you. It allows for either a successfully in-depth portrayal of you as a person, or a potential miscommunication of who you are. Ambika Gautam, a social media strategist at Bartle Bogle Hegarty, said: “My best advice is to keep the majority of ‘emotional spillage’ off Twitter. A lot of people tend to overshare, much like you’d see on Facebook. Keep it content focused ... and don’t dilute your personality.” One advantage to social media is that we can control the content. You may not be able to control that awkward snot dripped sneeze in your interview, but you can control that retweet about why marijuana should be legalized.

Billie Jean King’s influence persists BY JOEY GELMAN STAFF WRITER

When the clock struck midnight, the rest of house was asleep. Except for two. After a long day of coaching and television interviews, Billie Jean King arrived back at her home away from home during the 1996 Wimbledon Championships in London. As she swiftly and quietly closed the door, she entered the house only to fi nd her roommate, eventual Illinois men’s tennis coach Brad Dancer, waiting in the living room. The delectable leftovers were plucked from the fridge, and while most people would go to sleep, it was time for the two to talk in detail about tennis.

Before he bega n h is impressive college coaching career, Dancer was a traveling coach with Martina Navratilova, a 20-time Wimbledon champion, during the 1990s . Through Navratilova’s apprenticeship under the world-renowned, former No. 1 Billie Jean King, Dancer was able to meet King and to this day is grateful for all that she has taught him. Dancer described King as one of the most influential people he has ever met in his life. After only spending a few minutes with her, he felt her energy and love for people. Through living with King during Wimbledon, Dancer was offered the opportunity to be a hitting partner for the Fed Cup

team in which she was team captain and coach. While he was technically a sparring partner for the team, he viewed it as an assistant coaching opportunity. He was able to soak in all of King’s coaching techniques as well as constantly interact with her along with stars Mary Joe Fernandez , Lindsay Davenport, Venus and Serena Williams and others. Through Dancer’s years with the U.S. Fed Cup team, King saw his knack for learning and coaching and hired him as the head coach of her World TeamTennis team, the Delaware Smash . World TeamTennis is a style of team play unlike any other. All of the players sit on the bench together, like major team sports,

during each team member’s double or singles event. With this setting, Dancer was able to interact with his players and focus on in-game strategy throughout the tournament. Dancer was honored that King chose him to be a coach. He was also able to coach players like Serena Williams , Patrick McEnroe and others, totaling the combined tennis-playing experience to about 60 years. Dancer took many of King’s lessons with him throughout his life and has applied them to his daily routine, along with his coaching. A main lesson that King emphasized, Dancer said, through her years with him was that “champions adjust.” Dancer uses this motto in coaching

today at Illinois, trying to tell his team that no matter how far it has come, it can always get better; there is always a greater level to achieve. Dancer also touched upon the idea of emotional intelligence, as King was able to absorb the energy and feedback of the player and process it and issue it back. Because collegiate tennis allows for this player-coach interaction during match play, Dancer said he hopes he too has been able to use that technique to help his players. While Dancer has been able to learn a tremendous amount about tennis technique and emotional intelligence, the seven-year Illinois head coach appears to be most impressed

In an undisclosed location at an undisclosed time, the Illini men’s basketball team met without its coaches and tried to save its season.

After losing to Nebraska on the road last week, the No. 5 Illinois wrestling team took to the mat with a hot start against No. 3 Minnesota on Monday in front of a crowd of just over 3,000 Golden Gopher fans. Returning All-American Jesse Delgado at 125 pounds started the dual meet for the Illini with a 6-3 decision over Minnesota’s No. 12 David Thorne. No. 5 Delgado recorded a takedown in the first period to take the early 2-0 lead and chose down in the second before recording an escape to increase the lead 3-0. After another takedown in the second period to increase the lead to 5-0, Delgado was able to hold off Thorne in the third to give the Illini the early 3-0 lead. At 133 pounds, No. 11 Daryl Thomas dominated Minnesota’s returning All-American No. 6 Chris Dardanes with a 17-8 major decision to increase the Illini’s lead to 7-0. Logan Arlis, fi lling in for the Illini’s twotime All-American B.J. Futrell at 141 pounds, lost to No. 11 Nick Dardanes of Minnesota 9-3 to decrease Minnesota’s deficit to four. The 149 pound matchup did not look good on paper for the Illini, as Caleb Ervin took on Minnesota’s NCAA runnerup No. 5 Dylan Ness. Ervin recorded two takedowns and an escape in the first period to take the early 5-0 lead and remained aggressive. After increasing his lead to 10-0 after the second period, Ervin was able to hold off a late surge by Ness to record the 11-3 major decision, improving Illinois’ overall lead to 11-3. At 157 pounds, Minnesota’s Danny Zilverberg proved to be too much to handle for Matt Nora, as Zilverberg captured the 7-2 decision. No. 8 Conrad Polz (165) got the Illini back on track, as he defeated No. 11 Cody Yohn with a 7-4 decision. With a 14-6 Illini lead after six matches, Minnesota grabbed control of the meet and never looked back.

Schiller recorded a takedown midway through the first period to maintain a 2-0 lead heading into the second period. Gonzalez quickly retaliated with a reversal in the second to knot the score at 2-2. After jawing back and forth in the third period, Schiller recorded a takedown to regain the lead and capture the match by a 4-2 decision. NCAA Champion Nelson sealed the team win for the Golden Gophers with a 10-3 decision over the Illini’s Chris Lopez at heavyweight. Despite leading with four matches remaining, the Illini fell to the Gophers 18-14.

Key reasons Illinois lost to Northwestern Women’s basketball struggles in close games, at home; NCAA approves changes BY MICHAEL WONSOVER STAFF WRITER

When trying to put a fi nger on how the Illini women’s basketball team could lose to a Northwestern team it beat by 18 points 10 days earlier, there are many possible answers. Illini head coach Matt Bollant said the team’s lack of energy led to the poor performance. “We lacked discipline in the fi rst half, but if you’re not excited to play, you don’t have passion, you don’t shoot the ball very well,” Bollant said. “Not coming ready to play, not being excited to play, we had great fan support and let them down. When you’re not on edge, you don’t shoot the ball well, and we weren’t on edge to start the game.”

Telling stats 0-4 — After the 62-58 loss to

Northwestern , Illinois is 0-4 on the season in games decided by four points or less. Bollant was less concerned with that number than another alarming stat: Senior guard Adrienne GodBold has fouled out in six out of seven of the games she’s played. Senior forward Karisma Penn and sophomore guard Alexis Smith also fouled out against Northwestern. “We had three of our best players on the bench — that doesn’t help you,” Bollant said. “We’re trying to call sets and get the right kids the right shots, but it’s a little bit hard when the right kids are on the bench.” 0-3, 3-0 — Through six games Big Ten games, the Illini are 0-3 at home and 3-0 on the road. “Before I would’ve said, ‘no,’” Bollant said when asked if there’s any reason why the trend is continuing. “I think we played great against Purdue,

and Michigan State’s a really good team. (Sunday), I was just shocked they wouldn’t come more excited and more ready to play at home. I don’t know how you could beat a Georgia team and come out and play the way you did against them and then not be excited and ready to go against Northwestern.” 6-0 — Illinois is 6-0 when it outrebounds its opponent. On Sunday, the Wildcats outrebounded the Illini 39-34. “We spread out in our defense,” Bollant said. “We didn’t get to the offensive boards quite as much, but we missed a lot more shots, too. They missed 13 shots, and we missed 23 (in the second half). They get more opportunities (to rebound) when we missed 10 more shots.”

Recruiting changes The NCAA Division I board of directors approved 25 of 26 proposals Saturday that will “deregulate” and “simplify” the rulebook. The changes will go into effect Aug. 1. Some of the

rule changes of note: — Coaches will be allowed to contact recruits via social media, phone calls and text messages without restriction. — Up to $300 per year can be provided to athletes, in addition to the normal expenses already spent by programs. — Coaches can contact athletes July 1 between their sophomore and junior years of high school.

Eight-day break D u r i ng t he eight- d ay break before Illinois heads to Minnesota on Jan. 28, the team will have a players-only meeting. The layoff is the team’s secondlongest break between games this season. After Illinois beat Oregon 80-62 at Assembly Hall on Dec. 12, the Illini returned home Dec. 21 to endure a 69-68 upset loss against Illinois State.

day in 1996, she didn’t have to stop and talk with Dancer, he remembers. She could have just gone to sleep. But she did not, and in Dancer’s eyes, she is a “born mentor.” He suggests that even if one only has five minutes to talk to her, hop on a plane and do it. It’s worth it. To this day, Dancer holds King in the highest of regards and continues to learn and apply all that she has taught him. “She has that energy and that contagious, infectious passion for life,” Dancer said. “If you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, Billie’s one of the fi rst people you want to talk to because she’s gonna bring you up.” The Illinois men’s tennis team had the opportunity to speak with King a few years ago.

This season, it doesn’t get any easier. Firstyear head coach Tim Miles’ team hung with Michigan State until the very end of its Jan. 13, loss in East Lansing, Mich., and 6-foot10, double-digit scoring threat Brandon Ubel, who has missed the last two weeks with a fractured elbow, returned to the floor Saturday in Nebraska’s 68-64 win at Penn State. The Illini have yet to win on the road in the Big Ten, but Tuesday they’ll get a chance to take that step and avenge last season’s debacle in Lincoln and stop the bleeding. “Early on, I think guys came out with the mindset that we’ve got something to prove,” Paul said. “We’ve kind of gotten away from that.”

Despite unknown injury, Mori finishes 3rd overall BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER

Yoshi Mori placed third in the all-around on Saturday at the Windy City Invitational while still suffering from an unknown injury to his back. Mori has had more than one injury during the preseason, causing him to miss the first meet of his final season as an Illini. Without practicing the allaround format before this past weekend, he showed a consistent performance and was awarded third place and first place on his speciality, the pommel horse. Mori is still battling with small injuries and has a lot of work to

do before reaching his full potential this season. “My only main focus is endurance,” Mori said. “When everyone else was doing routines, I was doing rehab or only parts of sequences rather than a full set. Now that I’m starting to get healthy again, I need more numbers under my belt so that I can get my endurance up.”

Adjusting to a new format This season the NCAA approved a new format for men’s gymnastics that will go into effect in March. The format will now be a five-up, five-count

instead of the six-up, four-count that was competed last season. To allow for a smoother transition, men’s gymnastics teams around the country are temporarily competing a six-up, five-count. This still allows for one missed routine but puts more pressure on the gymnasts in the lineup. “The mind-set now is that you have to finish your routine,” senior Vince Smurro said. “You are going up to the event knowing that you are going to count. Now it’s just a practice, but come after March 1 with the five-up, fivecount, you are counting. If you do make a mistake, which everyone will at some point, then you finish

the routine because there will be a lot of teams making mistakes.”

No longer risk for reward The new format creates a problem for Illinois head coach Justin Spring when putting together starting lineups. Now that every routine performed by the Illini will count toward the team score in March, consistency is key. Spring now has an almost fully healthy roster of gymnasts to choose from, so the competition among teammates has risen. “These big routines that have high costs but possibly a high reward at the end, if they aren’t

hitting regularly, they aren’t going to make it into lineup,” Spring said. “Where all last year you had the luxury to drop a couple of scores and it’s OK. I think picking lineups all year will be difficult.”

Practice setting turns into competition setting Once the new format is in place, risks are less likely to be taken. Those who don’t have consistent, difficult routines will no longer get the opportunity to gain experience competing during a meet. This could cause problems for the future if the younger gymnasts don’t get real competition

experience. Spring’s solution is to create a practice atmosphere that feels like a real competition. “The guy that’s just out of lineup that would maybe be sixth, he’s not going to get that opportunity to raise his hand in front of a judge in a real meet,” Spring said. “Some of the opportunities to get that experience are going to be lost, so we’re going to have to put a lot more pressure in practice. Trying to recreate a competition setting to still give these guys the opportunity to improve themselves to be in lineup.”

Cardinals legend Stan ‘The Man’ Musial dies at 92 BY JIM SALTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS — Stan Musial’s fan base will get a couple of opportunities this week to say goodbye to the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer, the team said Monday. The Cardinals announced visitation, funeral and burial plans for Musial, who died Saturday at age 92 at his home in St. Louis County after several years of declining health. A public visitation will be 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday at Cathedral Basilica, the elaborate Catholic church in St. Louis’ Midtown area. A private funeral Mass will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the same cathedral. Immediately after the Mass, a funeral procession will travel to Busch Stadium where the family will lay a wreath at the base of the Musial statue that’s in front of the ballpark. The Cardinals will release the procession route later, a route that could draw thousands of fans given Musial’s enormous popularity. A private burial is planned. Three high-ranking Catholic leaders will officiate the Mass: New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, a longtime friend of the Musial family; St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson; and Bishop Richard Stika. Musial was a seven-time National League batting champion and three-time MVP. He played 22 seasons, all with the Cardinals, and had a lifetime .331 batting average. His nickname was simply “The Man,” and he retired from baseball in 1963. But in the wide-ranging area of the country where the Cardinals are popular, he was just as beloved for his gentle nature and generous spirit.

JEFF ROBERSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A statue of former St. Louis Cardinals baseball player Stan Musial stands outside Busch Stadium Sunday in St. Louis. Musial, one of baseball’s greatest hitters and a Hall of Famer with the Cardinals for more than two decades, died Saturday, the team announced. He was 92.

Maloofs agree to sell Sacramento Kings, deal awaits approval from NBA BY ANTONIO GONZALEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The only thing stopping the Sacramento Kings from a sale and move to Seattle is approval by NBA owners. The Maloof family has agreed to sell the Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen, the league confirmed in a statement Monday morning. The deal is still pending a vote by the NBA Board of Governors. A person familiar with the decision said that Hansen’s group will buy 65 percent of the franchise for $525 million, move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The Maloofs will have no stake in the team. The sale figure is a total valuation of the franchise, which includes relocation fees. Hansen’s group also is hoping to buy out other minority investors. The Maloofs will get a $30 million non-refundable down payment by Feb. 1, according to the deal, one person said. They will still be allowed to receive other offers until the league approves the sale. The plan by Hansen’s group is to have the team play at least the next two seasons in KeyArena before moving into a new facility in downtown Seattle. The deadline for teams to apply for a move for next season is March 1. “We have always appreciated and treasured our ownership of the Kings and have had a great admiration for the fans and our

team members. We would also like to thank Chris Hansen for his professionalism during our negotiation. Chris will be a great steward for the franchise,” Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said in a statement on behalf of the family. Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said last week he had received permission from NBA Commissioner David Stern to present a counteroffer to league owners from buyers who would keep the Kings in Sacramento. Johnson, himself a former AllStar point guard in the NBA, said in a statement that the city remained undeterred despite the agreement with the Seattle group. “Sacramento has proven that it is a strong NBA market with a fan base that year in and year out has demonstrated a commitment to the Kings by selling out 19 of 27 seasons in a top 20 market and owning two of the longest sellout streaks in NBA history,” Johnson said. “When it comes to keeping the team in our community, Sacramento is playing to win. In particular, we have been focused like a laser on identifying an ownership group that will both have the financial resources desired by the NBA and the vision to make the Kings the NBA equivalent of what the Green Bay Packers have been in the NFL.” In a saga that has dragged on for nearly three years, Johnson and Sacramento appear to be facing their most daunting challenge yet.

Hansen reached agreement with local governments in Seattle last October on plans to build a $490 million arena near the city’s other stadiums, CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field. As part of the agreement, no construction will begin until all environmental reviews are completed and a team has been secured. The arena also faces a pair of lawsuits, including one from a longshore workers union because the arena is being built close to port and industrial operations. Hansen’s group is expected to pitch in $290 million in private investment toward the are-

na, along with helping to pay for transportation improvements in the area around the stadiums. The remaining $200 million in public financing would be paid back with rent money and admissions taxes from the arena, and if that money falls short, Hansen would be responsible for making up the rest. Hansen’s goal has been to return the SuperSonics to the Puget Sound after they were moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008. Asked in September if he could envision a team being in Seattle for the 2013 season, Hansen was cautious about finding an option that quickly.
