Grainger Foundation gives largest gift in UI history BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

Officials announced Monday that The Grainger Foundation gave $100 million to the College of Engineering — the largest gift the University has ever received. These funds will be designated to faculty recruitment and scholarships within the college. “(The donation) will allow us to do things we couldn’t have possibly done without this very gen-

erous infusion of money,” said Chancellor Phyllis Wise. “It’s a really transformational gift that will have impact across the campus and beyond.” Wise said funds from this gift, which is the largest gift given to any public university this academic year, will primarily support the growing areas of bioengineering and “Big Data,” a field that focuses on computing and analyzing large data sets.

The gift allows for the creation of the Grainger Engineering Breakthrough Initiative, which is “intended to position the college for future growth and development,” said Michael Bragg, interim dean of the College of Engineering. Of the $100 million, about $40 million is allocated toward creating endowments for 35 addi-

Creators of local currency UC Smiles to research other currencies BY JANELLE O’DEA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After launching a new form of currency on Nov. 1, UC Smiles has begun spending a second University grant of $15,000, which will help fund a documentary researching the initiative. UC Smiles are the brainchild of Seonmi Kim, executive director of the project. Kim received a $12,000 grant in December 2010 from the University’s Office of Public Engagement to start the UC Smiles project, which was used to promote the new form of currency. In the fi rst three months of circulation, the number of Smiles sold increased

from 3,000 to more than 16,000. Now with the Focal Point grant, the non-profit organization will be able to research the effectiveness of the initiative later this spring. Using the funds, Kim and Tracy Satterthwaite , executive director of public relations for UC Smiles, will take trips to Toronto and Berkshire, Mass., in early March to study successful local currency movements. Satterthwaite said following their return, they want to create a documentary focusing on the value of local currency and why local shopping is important to a community’s economy.

The fi rst public engagement grant funded the logo designer, brochure designer and website developer. Other expenses covered by the grant include printing costs, such as paper and ink, copying fees, web hosting and food for the UC Smiles board and committee meetings. The public engagement grant also covered the costs of the Oct. 27 launch party. Since receiving the second grant, the organization has spent a portion of the money on similar expenses covered by the public engagement grant. Bart Basi, owner of Cheese & Crackers in Champaign, said the UC Smiles project

is a wonderful idea for improving Champaign-Urbana’s economy. Basi chose to approach Kim and the rest of the UC Smiles team in December about using the currency at his shop, and he chose to become an exchange store for Smiles, as well. “There’s no drawback. It’s only a positive for businesses,” Basi said. “As far as I see it, businesses should be begging to participate in the program.” Bill Mermelstein of International Galleries in Urbana said the program may need a little more time to get going, but

New program in Champaign to help more area businesses

BY ATOOSA SAYEH

The Illinois Open Technology team is holding a contest for individuals and teams to create applications that use public data and address Champaign residents’ needs. The contest winner will be awarded $12,000, and the application will be available for free for one year. Daniel O’Neil is a member of the Illinois Open Technology team and the executive director of Smart Chicago Collaborative. He discussed the goals of Illinois Open Technology on Wednesday with local residents who were interested in participating.

The city of Champaign is in the process of fi nalizing a program that would increase city collaboration with minority- and femaleowned businesses. The Champaign City Council unanimously approved the proposed “Minority and Women Business Development Program” on Tuesday as an initiative to “increase opportunities for disadvantaged businesses in Champaign County and the surrounding areas,” according to ’s study session memorandum. The program, developed by city staff from both the public works and community relations departments, consists of three components: city construction contracts, small business development and workforce development. The proposed program lays out a timeline of initiatives for the next three years. In 2013, the city plans to work through each component of the program with goals of dividing large construction jobs into smaller projects, developing training programs for small businesses and partnering with major Champaign employers. A plan for the program was a direct result of years of community feedback from Champaign citizens, business owners, union representatives and government members who wanted to “level the playing field for all businesses by acknowledging the barriers, challenges and opportunities that exist,” according to the memo. City Manager Steve Carter said the program is especially necessary now as a result of population growth and an increase in the city’s diversity in the past few years. “I think it’s important that we recognize that we will be doing things a little bit differently in the future,” Carter said. According to census data in 2007, women-owned firms made up 28.3 percent of the 13,525 fi rms in Champaign County. Black-owned fi rms represented 8.8 percent of businesses and Hispanicowned firms represented 1.9 percent. Data was not available for any other minority group. In fiscal year 2012, the city contracted about $25.6 million in respect to goods and services, said Dennis Schmidt, one of the creators of the program and Champaign Public Works Director. Of that contracted work, about 7 percent went to minority- and female-owned businesses. “I think when you look at the council’s goals, as well as our goals and the interpretation of those goals, one of the objectives we have here is we want to grow those numbers,” Schmidt said. Amy Maurer, senior project engineer at Kaskaskia Engineering Group, LLC , said the firm is female-owned and has recently begun doing

Ryan discharged from Ind. prison, into home confinement BY MICHAEL TARM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Former Illinois Gov. George Ryan was released from prison before dawn Wednesday, stopping only briefly at a halfway house before he was allowed to travel home to serve the rest of his sentence for corruption. By midday, the 78-year-old was sitting in the living room of his spacious home in a leafy northern Illinois neighborhood in Kankakee beaming and surrounded by his children and grandchildren, said Ryan’s attorney and also a former governor, Jim Thompson. “If you could see his and his grandkids’ smiling faces,� said Thompson, speaking by phone from Ryan’s house. “He is sur-

than before prison, he walked past throngs of reporters into a Chicago halfway house just before 7 a.m. Wednesday. Wearing a suit and tie, he smiled but didn’t speak. Ryan was mostly quiet during the long drive from Indiana to Chicago, making a detour to Michigan Avenue to take in the Christmas lights still up along the city’s iconic shopping street, Thompson said. “It is such a stark change from penitentiary life,� Thompson said outside the halfway house before traveling on to Kankakee. “He has to become accustomed again to being on the outside.� Among the stark changes for Ryan is living at home without his wife of 55 years, Lura Lynn Ryan. Before she died in 2011,

officials did allow the ex-governor visit her when she was sick with cancer, though he wasn’t allowed to attend her funeral. Ryan has suffered from his own health problems, including kidney disease. Ryan’s status as an ex-governor didn’t win him special consideration in the decision to let him skip the halfway house and go home, Bureau of Prisons spokesman Chris Burke said later Wednesday. “It’s not unheard of,� he said. Elderly inmates or those who have families willing to take care of them can win exemptions from mandates to spend at least several days at a halfway house, Burke said. He wasn’t permitted to speak specifically about the factors in Ryan’s case.

service with the city. She commended the city staff for proposing the plan at the study session. “We enjoy working with the city, and we wish more communities in the state of Illinois were as professional and responsible and as great as the city of Champaign,� Maurer said. “We hope we keep our relationship going and look forward to many more years of service.� Fred Coleman, director of diversity and redevelopment at the University, addressed the city council

at the study session. He praised the staff who put together the program but warned city officials that it wouldn’t be an “overnight success.� “I think it will be a success for the city based on the way in which this plan has been developed and the diligence that has been put forth by staff,� Coleman said. “(But) you’re going to have to work together continuously to make this happen.

serves the community,� said Patrick East, a facilitator for the challenge. “The contest is basically that developers will have one month to make an application, whether mobile or Web application, off the data that we provide and specialize for this community.� Everyone is encouraged to participate, and there are no specific skill requirements, East said. “What we really need is more residents and students who live

in Champaign that have ideas that they want to work with developers on,� he said. “They will achieve many advantages to working on the challenge with us. One is that they will make their lives better here in Champaign, and another is to win $15,000.� Martin Malone, senior in Media and former Illini Media employee, attended the challenge because he was interested in what it had to offer. “I’m interested in helping

with design,� Malone said. “I’m a journalism major, so I’m really interested in helping the community and getting information out there. Also, the prize money is $15,000, which also plays a part in why I’m participating in this challenge.� One of the rules of the contest is that the inventor of the application has to use a data set that can be found on the data.illinois. gov website. This requirement will ensure that the application will be made specifically for Illi-

nois residents. “The idea is that the state and the city of Champaign publish data and put stuff like building permits, tree inventories or restaurant inspections,� O’Neil said. As webmaster of the page, East controls what is on the state’s data portal website and is one of the people who makes sure the submissions include data about Illinois. The application can address either state or local needs. However, Champaign winners will

compete against the winners of three other communities: Rockford, Chicago and Chicago suburbs. O’Neil said that applications will have a better chance to win if they focus on the state of Illinois instead of the city. Submissions for the application contest are due March 19, and the judging will be held March 23-29.

college to start its own scholarship campaign, perpetually giving money to several hundred additional engineering students each year. “In the past, some of our students have gotten scholarships but not enough,� Bragg said. “We know that, and we’ve taken that very seriously. The Grainger gift is a great help.� Rob Rutenbar, head of the Computer Science department, said additional scholarship mon-

ey will make the college “more competitive when we go after top students who want to come here.� A portion of the donation will also be used to seed research projects, particularly bioengineering projects. Eddie Catoiu, sophomore in bioengineering, said he hopes this funding will help the program grow. “I think any donation, especially a donation of this size, is really helpful in a college where research is so important,�

he said. “Besides giving away more scholarships, enhancing research opportunities is something (the college) should really be thinking about.� Bragg said funds will also be put toward the renovation of Everitt Laboratory once the electrical and computer engineering department moves to its new building in 2014. He said he expects the college to start working with architects and designers within the next year.

The Grainger Foundation, based in Lake Forest, Ill., has a long-standing relationship with the University, Bragg said. It has provided research support, scholarships for engineering students and a more than $18 million contribution to the Grainger Library. The foundation gifted the donation in honor of William W. Grainger, who graduated from the College of Engineering in 1919, before founding W.W.

Grainger, Inc. “This gift shows the confi dence that the Grainger Foundation has in the college and the campus,� Bragg said. “We certainly have hope, especially in the areas of Big Data and bioengineering, that we can attract great students, attract great faculty and do things to improve peoples’ lives.�

W

hen Da niel Beckwitt, aka the “ EC E hacker,” i nfiltrated the University’s computi ng system i n a series of hacks, it seemed like a scene that wa lked straight out of a heist movie. The former University student, a computer science major, broke i nto a garga ntua n computi ng i nfrastructure — usi ng simple keyloggers to track the order certai n keys were struck. This, then, could turn up key i nformation, like the contents of a persona l email, a midterm for a difficult class or even a password. But we wa nt to emphasize that this is not a nua nced procedure, acquiri ng a password usi ng a keylogger. Keyloggers are a simple tech nology that even a middle school student could use to acquire your password. To ma ny this begets the question on the security measures i n place to secure our i nformation at this University. How ma ny a nd large are the loopholes withi n the system? Could somethi ng as simple as a keylogger rea lly revea l the folly of a n i ntricate security system? The a nswer to these questions poi nt out one thi ng for certai n: The system isn’t perfect a nd ca n a lways be improved, a nd, sometimes, i n some ways, it will be outdated. We could poi nt to the University’s i nfrastructure for setti ng up a “faulty” onli ne world i n which we navigate. But when it comes to shieldi ng ourselves agai nst hackers like Beckwitt, the responsibility of keepi ng our persona l i nformation safe lies primarily with us. In today’s Internet era, we must not fai l to recognize how much of our identities sit i n this i nformation cloud. It becomes a convenience for us to easi ly access our own i nformation by usi ng the Internet, but let’s not forget that it has become even easier for others, too. Simply put, be vigila nt i n keepi ng your password as secure as possible. One of the most promi nent reasons hacks occur is because peo ple get too lazy to cha nge their passwords frequently or recycle old passwords severa l times over. Accordi ng to a security consulta nt i nterviewed by Wired last year, the most common password people use is “password,” followed by “12 3 4 5 6.” The ver y least you ca n do to protect your i nformation is to lengthen your password a nd use a bra nd new password ever y time you update it. A nd if you’d like to pro tect your i nformation when usi ng public computers, consider savi ng your passwords on a USB a nd copyi ng-a ndpasti ng them when necessary ( just don’t lose that USB) so that a keylogger ca n’t track the passwords you type. Securi ng your i nformation starts with how you treat your belongi ngs. If you let your crow n jewels sit i n a safe, a nd your code is 01- 0101, don’t go to the safe -maki ng guys to complai n about the design of the safe. It’s on you.

some money in the budget to fix sidewalks. And what about the Illinois Student Senate? The starting budget for the 2012-2013 academic year was $65,642.60. On Quad Day alone, they spent $3,786.42 on promoting their own cause. Then spent another $7,500 on promotion at the United Center this past December. I understand the need for a student organization on campus to get their name out. In a sea of 40,000 people, you want to be recognized. I get it. However, wouldn’t money like that be better spent on issues to help make our campus better, like finding a way to fix such a fundamental issue on campus? And even if the ISS can’t fix this, perhaps they can work with the cities of Urbana and Champaign to improve this. We have construction all over this campus such as the newly created Bousfield Hall in Ikenberry South, opening this fall, or the new ECE building on the Engineering Quad. Why are we constantly pushing for new construction instead of improving what we already have? The bike and pedestrian paths would be a good place to start. But before I become too supportive of the bikers on campus, I too must note, bikers: If we want a good name on campus, we can start by not riding our bikes on the Quad’s main paths. Let’s not ask for trouble. And to whoever stole my bike outside my apartment, I hope by now you have figured out that my breaks are in poor shape. Have fun schwinning someone else. You’re welcome.

onspiracy theories are loved because they offer the possibility for a mind-blowing reality. There are of course the classics like the JFK assassination and the faking of the moon landing. Nowadays, it seems that every blogger, YouTuber and casual commenter has a new conspiracy theory to offer, and many of them have common fallacies that make them unworthy of your time. Before considering a conspiracy’s content, you should first consider its source. Take, for instance, the now semi-famous Florida Atlantic communications professor who recently sparked attention after alleging the Sandy Hook massacre was a government hoax. On his blog, you’ll see that he has conspiracies written about almost every possible issue from 9/11 to the shootings in Aurora and Oak Creek. Because uncovering conspiracies is something he does on a regular basis, it’s reasonable to suspect that his role as a conspiracy expert is more for the purpose of putting himself in the spotlight than it is for providing truth. Another example of this is Minnesota Gov. and WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura. As host of the show “Conspiracy Theory” on the so called TruTV network, he has brought almost every possible egregious scenario to light. One theory he presented was that the American government is using the Alaskan High Frequency Active Auroral Research to control the weather and induce natural disasters. For a show that is in its third season, you have to imagine that he may be reaching on at least some of his topics. (Did you know he also taught at Harvard?) While this doesn’t mean that any theory supported by these figures should automatically be dismissed, it does mean their arguments alone should not carry much weight. In addition to evaluating the ethos of a source, it’s important to realize that a majority of conspiracy evidence is supported by subtle inconsistencies from media coverage during a particular event in question. For instance, Sandy Hook theorists often point to early moments in television coverage when some networks were reporting that there were two shooters instead of one. While theorists suggest that this was a clear sign of some twisted plot, the more probable explanation is actually much simpler. News outlets are always competing with one another to break stories first. Thus, it is very common to see networks jump the gun and report inaccurate information before going back and amending it. Thus, merely relying on obscure sound bites is not enough to suggest that something suspicious is going on, especially when these sound bites are coupled with heavy doses of biased speculation. The heart of this prejudice is the misconception that our government is capable of orchestrating frequent massive cover-ups. Our government is so divided and uncooperative that it can hardly make basic policy decisions. How then could it possibly engineer a massive catastrophe such as 9/11 or Sandy Hook? Such an effort would require unprecedented coordination and confidentiality between hundreds of individuals — a feat that would be unfathomable under the watchdog media environment of today. Of course, the next line in the conspiracy theorist’s defense is to say that the government and the media are coordinating to deceive the American public. This leap takes the number of conspirators from hundreds to thousands, making the whole notion that much more implausible. Theorists who believe in massive corporate-media-government cover-ups usually have an ulterior motive. Often they are people from the far right who are actually trying to promote the scaling back of government by inciting fear of tyranny — a legitimate cause, but one that should not be backed by hyperbolic claims. While it’s good to question everything, you have to keep yourself grounded in reality. So, before sharing another link on your Facebook timeline that you think blows the lid off of some massive cover-up, first check to see if any of these fallacies apply. This way you can avoid giving unnecessary attention to stories and people that don’t deserve it.

Key to easing stress: Hug it out NORA IBRAHIM Opinions columnist

T

hrough high tides and inundating stress, many people turn to their favorite activities to ward off anxiety or darker thoughts. Running, drawing, baking — whatever it is, it is meant to set off a series of neurotransmitters, returning the balance of your mental processes back to reasonable functioning. You create some “alone” time. But in my own times of high tide and inundating stress, I put down the pen and leave the running shoes in the closet. Instead, I’m the gal who prefers to find the closest people I have to start a hugathon, cuddle-fest, snuggle session, what have you. Many of my friends know me for coming up to them for random embraces. I’m the one who preaches, “Ya need 12 moments of human contact a day to feel like a real person.” I’d be the girl holding a “Free Hugs” sign right by the Alma Mater just to make your Mondays better. I am so in-your-face about my need for hugs in life, I’m willing to write a column about them. This week, I’m going to give all y’all the same pep talk I give my friends about the benefits of hugging, and I’m going to argue against the personal bubble space we college students like to use to cushion us from everyone else. And I’m going to do this by talking about the biochemistry behind the hug. Do you remember when school

nurses would conduct lice checks in elementary school? Real talk: Did you enjoy the part when the nurses combed through your hair? Or how about that time you felt awesome when you were at the receiving end of a high-five? Think about your favorite games as a kid (Twister? Tag?). In the series of moments of human touch we experienced as kids, and even now as adults, a mechanistic pathway was set in motion, effectively hitting receptors that cause our bodies to induce the parasympathetic (stress-relieving) system.

I’d be the girl holding a “Free Hugs” sign right by the Alma Mater just to make your Mondays better. Researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute demonstrated exactly this mechanism using mice as models for similar human receptors in a study published this week in Nature. The team periodically stroked the mice using a paintbrush so that it was distinct from a pinching or poking sensation. In turn, they discovered that the touch activated G proteincoupled receptors, also found in hairy skin in humans. The “strokesensitive” neurons opened mechanotransductive pathways to anxiolytic, or anti-anxiety producing, effects.

Additionally, the stroking sensation became a positive reinforcement for the mice to stay in place, which is somewhat like how Uncle Jesse soothed Michelle Tanner by holding her head and cuddling. This supports a notion that everyone seems to understand already but haven’t formed in so many words. We understand the need for companionship, but especially in a collegiate community, it can be easy to forgo human contact when the insatiable appetite for “Internets and stuffs” and “alone time” is tantalizing us. Sitting in the comfort of a cushion space is easier and less risk-taking than going out of one’s way to go for a handshake or high-five. The medical community is learning to incorporate the positive findings, like the one published in Nature, into its practices. For instance, nurses and other health care practitioners are being trained to use touch when caring for older patients, which has been found to improve their overall well-being. And even in pre-term infants, gentle human touch has been found to decreases distress and disruptive sleep. The midterms season has yet to dawn upon us, but before it does, think about reaching out to your friends and loved ones for an embrace. By closing the gaps we leave between us and the rest of the world, we ease our stresses. “Alone time” gives your mind space to breathe, but it likely will compound the stress you feel, rather than diminish it.

Schwinns: The ignored campus problem JOANNA ROTHENBERG Opinions columnist

M

y sophomore year, I schwinned a girl. That’s right. I am a biker on campus and proud of it. One of the first things I learned during my freshman year is the longstanding tradition that pedestrians hate bikers, cars hate bikers, and bikers hate bikers. Which, on most days, I would have to agree. But on that fateful day, the girl I hit was walking aimlessly on the bike path between Henry Administration and the English Building. While I had tried to avoid her, she decided it was best to turn the same way I did, and my front tire went straight between her legs, slamming us both into the ground. Obviously some nice scrapes and bruises were a result. Suddenly, through the crowd I heard a voice, which I thought was yelling at me, but instead the voice from beyond yelled, “This is why we don’t walk in the bike path,” finishing with a colorful expletive. (I’d like to take this opportunity to personally thank that student. So, thanks!) It really was the perfect schwinn. If biker-pedestrian accidents only happened once in a while, no one would care much. But here it’s an epidemic. Bikers are constantly hitting pedestrians or other bikers, trying to prevent as much damage as possible. Why? Because the bike lanes and pedestrian paths on campus need attention, desperately. The girl I schwinned sophomore year, in all fairness, may have never known she was walking on

a bike path because the lines were faded after years of wear-andtear. Bike lanes all over campus have major issues beyond needing a fresh coat of paint. Uneven sidewalks, cracks, obstructed views — they are unfortunately commonplace, like those just outside of Greg Hall on Wright Street. And where can bikes go on Green Street without getting hit? Then there are the problems of pedestrians in the bike path just outside Wohlers Hall and the Architecture Building, the David Kinley Hall side of Gregory Street and all sides of the Armory. Pedestrians always step onto the bike path without looking because the sidewalk shrinks to accommodate the building size. Bikers get a bad reputation on campus, but it is not always our fault.

Bike lanes all over campus have major issues beyond needing a fresh coat of paint. And when pedestrians start walking on the bike path, we are forced to ride in the streets. Especially on the corner of Armory and Wright, where buses, cars, pedestrians and bikers all converge to create one hodge podge of confusion at one corner. Is there no money in the budget to beautify campus by improving sidewalks? Clearly every year sees a tuition increase. While the 2017 class has the lowest percentage increase in tuition in 18 years, it still continues to rise. There has got to be

everything about something,” Rushing said. But after reading Calvino’s works, he thought to himself, ‘I need to learn Italian.’ With this revelation, Rushing began the further development of his passions by attending graduate school at the University of Michigan in pursuit of a master’s degree in Comparative Literature. After graduating from Michigan, Rushing pursued a Ph.D. in Italian Studies at University of California, Berkeley. He said he found an intellectual community he could thrive in and connect with at the University of California. Three years after fi nishing his Ph.D, he found his fi rst consistent teaching job as a professor at the University of Illinois. Beforehand, he taught a course on detective fiction at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, where his wife, Lilya Kaganovsky, was a professor of Comparative Literature and Cinema Studies. As well as offering Rushing a job, University of Illinois offered Kaganovsky a job, too. “The University of Illinois does something that a lot of universities don’t. If you’re married to an academic, then the university looks seriously at the possibility of doing partner hires,” Rushing said. Rushing and his wife have been teaching at the University for 12 years since. “They were not only able to offer me a job, but they were also able to offer a job to my wife, a professor in Slovak Comparative Literature,” Rushing said. “I know of East Coast, West Coast academic couples where they see each other three or four times a year.

To be in the same town at the same university was an absolute no-brainer.” During his time as a professor at the University, Rushing has ensured that he pursues a variety of hobbies. “That’s one of the exciting thing about being a professor and an intellectual is discovering stuff all the time that you didn’t know about before and it turns out tremendously interesting,” Rushing said. Rushing aims to make this true about his teaching. “There are people who can make anything boring. I try to be one of the people who can make anything interesting,” Rushing said. His passion for teaching is recognized and admired by students of the University. “The energy he carries makes every class interesting, and makes me want to learn more,” said Genevieve Scheele, junior in LAS. Dora Lee, a graduate of the University, said the classes she took that were taught by Rushing were a “unique, once-in-alifetime experience.” Other students believe Rushing is unlike other professors they have met in their time at the University. “ What makes P rofessor Rushing different from other professors is his wide range of knowledge and the way he puts it to use,” said Stephanie Ashton, also a graduate of the University. Rushing describes teaching not merely as a job, but as his identity. “It’s not what we do, it’s who we are,” he said.

Whether he’s in the classroom teaching Italian Studies or sitting on the Quad playing his classical guitar, professor Robert Rushing constantly displays a passion for life. Hailing from North County, San Diego in California, professor Rushing grew up as an introvert with a passion for reading and learning that has led him to many intellectual paths. Rushing is a professor in the department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese and the department of comparative world literature. He also teaches in the Unit for Cinema Studies and the Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory. But while he has a passion for teaching, Rushing also fi nds time to explore his many interests. “I think it’s really important for intellectuals not to just think about their tiny thing. I’m kind of a dilettante. I want to know a little about everything,” Rushing said. His office is a clear depiction of this belief: peplum movie posters, various portraits and marathon medals adorn his walls. Bookshelves full of DVDs, books and VHS tapes sit in the corner of the office. One item in particular holds much value: his classical guitar. “In high school, I was in a heavy metal band, with hair down my back and it was all electric,” Rushing said. “That’s where most classical players start.” In early spring, one may spot Rushing playing classical music on the Quad. Writing is another interest of Rushing’s. He has written a book titled “Resisting Arrest: Detective Fiction and Popular Culture,” published in 2007. He is in the editing stage of another book he is writing, which is about the popular TV show “Mad Men.” His passion for language began when he was an undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Cruz — a place he describes as being full of culture and academia. It was the experience of reading all the works of the Italian writer Italo Calvino that truly brought about more direction to his trek for knowledge and discovery. “I’ve never had the reaction before where I wanted to know

Researchers silence obesity myths MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP CHIEF MEDICAL WRITER

Fact or fiction? Sex burns a lot of calories. Snacking or skipping breakfast is bad. School gym classes make a big difference in kids’ weight. All are myths or at least presumptions that may not be true, say researchers who reviewed the science behind some widely held obesity beliefs and found it lacking. Their report in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine says dogma and fallacies are detracting from real solutions to the nation’s weight problems. “The evidence is what matters,” and many feel-good ideas repeated by well-meaning health experts just don’t have it, said the lead author, David Allison, a biostatistician at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Independent researchers say the authors have some valid points. But many of the report’s authors also have deep financial ties to food, beverage and weight-loss product makers — the disclosures take up half a page of fine print in

TAYLOR FROM PAGE 6A the Ravens simply because purple is my favorite color. Unfortunately, there’s no way I could actually give this reason because I would look extremely girly and possibly irritate any serious football fans around me. Instead, it’s better to say that you’re rooting for Baltimore because they’re the underdog or that you’re pulling for San Francisco because you’re a big fan of Michael Crabtree, their wide receiver. As long as the reason sounds somewhat legitimate, you will come off as at least a little bit intelligent about one of the most anticipated sporting events in the United States.

the journal. “It raises questions about what the purpose of this paper is” and whether it’s aimed at promoting drugs, meal replacement products and bariatric surgery as solutions, said Marion Nestle, a New York University professor of nutrition and food studies. “The big issues in weight loss are how you change the food environment in order for people to make healthy choices,” such as limits on soda sizes and marketing junk food to children, she said. Some of the myths they cite are “straw men” issues, she said. But some are pretty interesting. Sex, for instance. Not that people do it to try to lose weight, but claims that it burns 100 to 300 calories are common, Allison said. Yet the only study that scientifically measured the energy output found that sex lasted six minutes on average — “disappointing, isn’t it?” — and burned a mere 21 calories, about as much as walking, he said. That’s for a man. The study was done in 1984 and didn’t measure the women’s experience.

Among the other myths or assumptions the authors cite, based on their review of the most rigorous studies on each topic:

LAS 101 Freshman Seminar Internships Accepting Applications for Fall 2013!

—Small changes in diet or exercise lead to large, long-term weight changes. Fact: The body adapts to changes, so small steps to cut calories don’t have the same effect over time, studies suggest. At least one outside expert agrees with the authors that the “small changes” concept is based on an “oversimplified” 3,500-calorie rule, that adding or cutting that many calories alters weight by one pound.

Freshmen Seminar Interns are accomplished juniors and seniors who are willing to share their college experiences with first-year students by serving as student mentors. Each Intern meets once a week, in one-hour sessions with a class of 20 – 25 students in a course which is designed to assist first-term students in making the transition from high school to university both academically and socially. In the classes, Interns will familiarize their students with the university resources, facilitate dialogue and discussion, and will promote collaborative learning. An LAS 101 Internship offers our best and brightest students the opportunity to help others while enhancing their own skills and preparing for their chosen professions or advanced scholarship. Those chosen for this opportunity will be enrolled in LAS 399H Leadership and Professional Development. The LAS 399 class will meet one hour a week (on Mondays) for interns to plan for each week’s classes and participate in seminars designed to further their own leadership and professional skills. Interns will receive 3 hours of advanced level credit.

—School gym classes have a big impact on kids’ weight. Fact: Classes typically are not long, often or intense enough to make much difference.

Eligibility: You must: (1) have junior or senior standing the fall semester during which you are applying to be an LAS 101 intern (current sophomores can apply) (2) Be a current LAS student (3) Have been a freshman on the UIUC campus (4) Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

It’s also important to not become too invested in the game if you truly don’t know much about what’s going on. After years of cheerleading at football games and still not understanding what’s going on, I’ve learned the best way to get through it without embarrassment is to not make comments about the game. By doing so, there’s no chance that you’ll say something that makes zero sense. Instead, it’s better to pay attention to what everyone else watching the game is doing — when they start to cheer, you start to cheer; when they seemed angry about a play gone wrong, you should do the same, etcetera. It’s almost like playing Simon Says with your friends, but you’re the only one who knows it’s happening.

If all else fails, make sure you’re not that girl or guy who’s complaining about watching football the entire time. There is nothing worse than someone who’s hating on football when the entire day revolves around the sport. It may sound harsh, but if you’re not going to at least pretend to enjoy watching the game, like I’ll be doing Sunday evening, then there isn’t really a point of getting together with people to watch. If you really can’t handle watching the game, just try your best to grin and bear it — there’s always new commercials, snacks and possibly a scandal during the halftime performance to look forward to.

—Losing a lot of weight quickly is worse than losing a little slowly over the long term. Fact: Although many dieters regain weight, those who lose a lot to start with often end up at a lower weight than people who drop more modest amounts.

FOOTBALL FOR DUMMIES BY BAILEY BRYANT

TAYLOR ELLIS

STAFF WRITER

Features columnist

T

here is no doubt that the Super Bowl is a huge deal for footballloving Americans. From elaborate parties to the outrageous betting that takes place on game day, participating in Super Bowl celebrations is common practice for many. But for those who don’t know the difference between a tight end and a fumble, here’s some advice on how to survive Super Bowl XLVII without looking like a complete fool when it comes to football. Let’s start with the most basic information. This year’s game will take place in New Orleans, and the two teams playing — which I sadly had to look up myself — are the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. To make it easier, the Ravens’ team colors are purple, black, metallic gold and white, and the 49ers’ colors are red and gold. Thankfully, this contrast in colors will make it a lot easier to tell which team is which when you’re vision gets a little blurred after a few drinks. Now that we’ve got the teams figured out, it’s time to decide who we’re going to root for (aka pretend to care about) and think of a reason behind our choice. If I had my way, I’d tell people I’m rooting for

On game days, they can be found yelling at the television, dressed in their team’s colors, usually with their favorite player’s names printed boldly across their shoulders. For them, celebratory shouts are no more unusual than are angry curses. They are football fans, and their love of the game will reach its annual peak this year on Feb. 3, Super Bowl Sunday. As the

Ravens take on the 49-ers, join fellow fans at these on-campus Super Bowl viewings.

TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW FOR THE BIG GAME Although Super Bowl commercials are entertaining in themselves, watching the game may not be much fun if you’re lost on what’s going on. So to actually understand the game, rather than just make it look like you’re into it, here are a few common terms that aren’t hard to grasp. Learn the following football lingo to get a handle on how the popular American sport works.

“SAFETY�

“FUMBLE�

A team can earn points by a touchdown, extra point, two-point conversion, field goal or safety. A safety is when the offensive team is stopped in its own end zone. The tackling team is awarded two points.

A sack occurs when the quarterback is tackled behind the line of scrimmage (the imaginary line where the players line up each play). A sack results in the offensive team losing yards.

“SACK�

A fumble is basically when a player drops the ball. Once the ball is dropped, a player on either team may pick the ball up and advance it toward his opponent’s end zone. (This is why there are often dog piles on top of fumbled balls.)

The offense is given four chances to move 10 yards toward its opponent’s end zone. (Each chance is called a down.) If the offensive team reaches these 10 yards within four downs, they get a new set of downs, starting with “first down.� Otherwise, the other team gets the ball.

Illinois to take on Izzo’s talented guards Michigan State’s rebounding will be men’s basketball’s chief concern BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER

The modern landscape in college basketball is said to be dominated by guard play, but don’t tell Tom Izzo that. His Michigan State teams always include talented and

heady guards, from Mateen Cleaves to Drew Neitzel to Kalin Lucas. The 2012-13 version is no different with the likes of Keith Appling and Gary Harris manning the perimeter. The defining trait of almost all of Izzo’s teams, though, is

rebounding, and it’s that trait that will be Illinois’ chief concern Thursday night when it travels to Michigan State. “They’ve got great size,” Illinois head coach John Groce said. “As all of his teams have done over the years, they rebound really well. Guys know their roles.” Three players in particular — Derrick Nix, Adreian Payne and Branden Dawson — embody that rebounding

prowess. Nix, Payne and Dawson average 6.8, 6.9 and 6.7 rebounds per game, respectively, and often use offensive rebounds as an opportunity for easy points, which is reflected in their field goal percentages. All three players average over 52 percent from the field, with Payne near the top of the conference at 61 percent. Illinois center Nnanna Egwu will shoulder the considerable load of keeping Michigan

State’s post players off the offensive glass and is wellversed in the scouting report for each one. “Nix and Payne are both strong guys,” Egwu said. “Payne has a nice touch from the outside. You got to know where Dawson is, find him and box him out. He’s a really good offensive rebounder. We’re looking forward to the challenge.”

From the couch to the mat, Weinstein in final year

lina Weinstein is lying on an enormous blue mat in the middle of Huff Hall at Saturday’s Pink Meet. With one leg under her body, one leg extended behind her and her torso pressed to the mat, the music starts and she slowly rises. Weinstein raises a hand to the sky, walks to the far corner of the mat and turns, pointing to the crowd. A few more hand motions, a two-footed jump, and she’s off running diagonally across the mat.

Out of nowhere, she begins to flip through the air, a round off turns to two back handsprings that lead to two rotations in the air with a turn. On the final part of her pass, she takes off for the double rotation and turns with such velocity that she’s still ascending into the air when she begins the second rotation. Weinstein floats through the air as gracefully as a hummingbird before returning to the mat. The crowd goes crazy. She sticks it perfectly and begins to dance back across the mat, looking at the crowd as

she preforms each move, making sure everyone in Huff Hall is dancing with her. She finishes her routine with a tumbling pass in which she does another double back flip, before dramatically falling to the mat, a move that gets an even bigger response from the crowd. On the day, Weinstein will set a season high in the all-around and come close to one in the floor competition. She will win two individual event titles.

The Illinois women’s basketball team is off to its best start in Big Ten play since 2006-07, and the Illini have done it in an unlikely way. Illinois is 4-0 on the road for the first time since 200102 but is 0-3 in home conference games. Illinois (11-8, 4-3 Big Ten) will try to get over the hump Thursday night against No. 24 Iowa (16-5, 5-2) at Assembly Hall. The Illini will be looking for their second win over a top-25 team this season. Senior Adrienne GodBold couldn’t pinpoint what has caused Illinois’ home-court disadvantage. “We can’t really put our fingers on it, but we’re trying to figure it out,” she said. “We don’t want to look into things too far; we just need to bring our heads to home games.” Illinois is coming off a 91-86 win at Minnesota on Monday. Before that, Illinois lost to Northwestern — a team it had previously beaten by 18 — 62-58 at home. “We have been focusing a lot more on getting a winning streak going instead of this whole win-lose-win-lose, home-away stuff,” GodBold said. The Illini were able to win consecutive away games at Ohio State and Northwestern on Jan. 6 and 10 but haven’t won back-to-back home and away games since early December. Iowa will ride a threegame winning streak into Assembly Hall. The Hawk-

Three friends, 2 hockey players, 1 apartment BY PATRICK KELLEY STAFF WRITER

It’s a typical Thursday afternoon, and Illinois senior Lenny Caccamo is headed back to his apartment after a long day of class. Entering the complex, he walks down one flight of stairs to his subterranean den. As he slides the key into the lock he hears the low growl of the apartment’s protector. With the turn of the key and a forceful push, the door swings open and the ferocious 2-year-old miniature longhaired dachshund, Bitsy, ceases her protective tone and greets her master. Lenny is also greeted by his roommate’s two hockey jerseys pinned to the wall above the couch — a reminder of the sport he once played, and that his two roommates, Mike Evans and Scott Barrera, members of the Illi-

nois hockey team, are perfecting it at practice. Evans and Barrera are some of the few who don’t live exclusively with teammates. “There’s about 12 guys that live in three apartments. Most of the hockey guys tend to stick together in terms of living together,” said Evans, who is a senior defenseman of the Illini. “We might be the only apartment that lives with somebody else who is not on the team.” Caccamo may not technically be a part of the Illinois hockey program, but he is no stranger to the team, either. While in high school, Caccamo played on the same team as former Illini Sam Fatigato and Chris Peter.

GYMNASTICS FROM PAGE 1B But winning is nothing new for her. Over the course of her career, the senior has racked up 19 individual event titles, an NCAA regional all-around and beam title, and numerous other honors. But there is more to Weinstein than just her gymnastics. She is also a team leader, a motivator, a bright student and at the end of the day, a performer. “When I do gymnastics, I want to be just like her,” sophomore Sunny Kato said. “She’s also a great leader, and someone the team looks up to.” Weinstein says she loves to preform, and in this sport, she has found her outlet, which is why after graduation she hopes to join Cirque du Soleil and travel the world. But after a two-year stint with Cirque, Weinstein says she wants to get a real job.

From couches to the floor Weinstein has been performing all her life. She comes from an athletic family in which her dad played basketball in Russia, and her sister, Lili, swam collegiately at Brandeis University before becoming a doctor. Weinstein’s love of gymnastics began before her fifth birthday — the year she started her fi rst gymnastics class — when she would jump around in the house and scare her mother half to death in the process. “I was really active as a kid,” Weinstein said. “My mom was worried that I was going to break my neck in the house because I kept using the couches and all

ATTENTION

“I’ve been friends with Fatigato forever,” Caccamo said. “I used to live with Sam four years ago, and I actually met (Barrera and Evans) through Sam because he was on the hockey team at the time. One day, Scott came over and we instantly hit it off and decided to live together the fi rst day we met.” From their inaugural meeting, the bromance blossomed. Barrera and Caccamo are in their third year as roommates, and Evans completed the trio this year after his former roommate, Fatigato, graduated. Hockey may be the initial foundation of their friendship, but their personal relationships have gelled and go much deeper than the sport. “I see Len as very outgoing, kind of a jokester. He doesn’t really get mad, ever,” Evans said. ”He’s a good hangout guy. He’s defi nitely someone when you’re feeling down about yourself or need a friend, he’s defi nitely there for you.” While Caccamo may take on a nurturer’s role, Barrera’s the most disciplined of the three. “I would say he’s defi nitely more serious than Evan’s here. ... If you’re gonna go into the bedrooms of these two kids, you could see what I’m talking about. You got the clean one, then you got the one with clothes everywhere,” Caccamo said, as Evans laughed. “Up ... every morning, working out, eating right.” Completing the trifecta of friendship is Evans, who both Caccamo and Barrera say is the most lighthearted. “There aren’t a lot of serious moments with the kid ever,” Caccamo said. “He’s a jokester himself.” Barrera’s take on his teammate was a bit more blunt. “Mike is a complete donkey,” said Barrera, who plays forward as a senior, with a joking smile

the furniture in the living room as gymnastics apparatuses, so my mom thought it was time to put me in a structured gymnastics program.” She excelled in the gym from the fi rst day, and her coaches noticed her talent early on. “When I was in elementary school, I think the first class that I took, I impressed my coaches a lot, and so they were like, ‘Oh, you have to put her on the team,’ so my mom did what she was told and put me on the team.” She’s been competing ever since. From her first handstand or cartwheel — Weinstein can’t remember which of the two she learned first — she grew into an extremely competitive, busy middle school gymnast. Weinstein says she always attended school with her peers, but with all the training she did, she had to complete a class, during lunch, that she missed each day. “I trained twice a day, and it got a little hectic,” Weinstein said. “I was an international elite for a couple years, and I loved it. I thought it was great. I really tried to see if I could take that somewhere, but then I got a concussion in February when I was 14.” The concussion didn’t slow down Weinstein, as she got right back into gymnastics by competing in USA Gymnastics’ Junior Olympic Program. “Ever since then I competed at Junior Olympic, and I thought it was awesome. I had a lot time for gymnastics, and school and to have a decent social life, so it ended up working out really well.” In high school, Weinstein won multiple regional championships

for Junior Olympic and competed for Arena Gymnastics, an area club team, before Illinois women’s gymnastics head coach Kim Landrus noticed her talent.

across his face. “(He’s) always loud no matter what he’s doing, Halo, even a loud sleeper and a very nice guy, even though he doesn’t like to admit it.” Fittingly, the trio’s schedules are as different as their personalities. With Caccamo as the night owl, Barrera the early bird and Evan’s somewhere in between, the apartment sleeps as much as Las Vegas. “(Barrera) starts the day, he’s up at 6:30 or 7:00 to lift or do whatever he’s doing,” Caccamo said. “My classes don’t start till 12, so I’ll get up at 11 so it’s not like I ever get up early. When I get up, they’re both gone. (Evans) has 9 a.m.’s. I’ll get home in the afternoon, sometimes they’re gone at practice.” When the trio does unite around dinner time, hockey saturates their TV, which comes as no surprise for the group that plays fantasy hockey. “We usually don’t all see each other till after practice. Lately, we watch a lot of hockey around dinner. (Barrera) makes dinner with the wife,” said Caccamo sarcastically, referencing Barrera’s girlfriend. “(Caccamo and Evans) probably half the time eat dinner together. We’ll sit here, do homework and just hang out. I’m usually the last one in bed the last one awake. (Barrera’s) the fi rst one in bed, the fi rst one awake.” If all the other aspects are the bricks in their house of friendship, hockey is the mortar that bonds the three together. With a 37-game regular season, Evans and Barrera spend much of their time practicing, analyzing fi lm, traveling and playing hockey. With Caccamo as the knowledgeable outsider, the teammates have someone to look to for advice on their game. “It’s nice having Len too because he knows the game, and he’s not biased to any of the players,” Barrera said. “So he’ll tell us what he thinks, just comments here and there that can help us.” Caccamo, who has been a

regular spectator, often takes advantage of one of the two free tickets that Evans and Barrera get as players and will see the game from the stands as it happens, providing his roommates with tips following the game. Aside from his expertise, Caccamo’s apartment presence provides another advantage to the co-assistant captains — a friend to come home to after a loss, as opposed to still sour teammates. “It’s a little refreshing actually having someone who isn’t as mad as we are (after a loss),” Evans said. “He can give a positive attitude to the whole situation.” The ever-positive Caccamo is likely one of his roommates’ biggest fans, but he also takes a more active role in creating their semi-stardom on the Internet. Search “gLen Coco” on Twitter, and you will fi nd Caccamo’s Twitter profi le — @lennycaccamo — a page that shows his connection with his roommates. The bio that reads, “I am not the bars... I created the bars. Mike Evans is my boyfriend” may seem confusing at fi rst, but like all things, this too has a backstory. “I gave him that nickname... I created that alter ego for him,” Caccamo said of “The Bars” moniker. That alter ego has now transcended the Internet and has found its way into Barrera’s everyday life. During games and practice, nearly everyone calls him “Bars,” a nickname that became his Twitter handle, @thebars73 . It is even emblazoned on his hockey stick. The ever-joking Caccamo found a special place on the Web for Evans as well. “He told Siri, on his iPhone, to make me his boyfriend. So every time he called me he’d say, ‘Hey, call my boyfriend,’ so Siri would dial my number,” Evans said. Even though the line about being Evans’ boyfriend is merely sarcastic, the Caccamo-created alter ego “The Bars” has

“I don’t do this for myself” After choosing Illinois because of the school’s top-notch academics and gymnastics team on the rise, Weinstein had some setbacks early. “I think freshman year was defi nitely an adjusting year for me,” Weinstein said. “It was hard, it was a new experience and one I had to adjust to.” Weinstein got her break when an injury to Melissa Fernandez opened a spot for her to compete as a vaulter, and she made the most of her opportunity. In her sophomore season, Weinstein earned second-team All-America honors on floor after tying for eighth at the NCAA Championships. Weinstein also fi nished the season having hit 47 of 52 routines, having won the Illini’s Most Improved Gymnast award with her first three individual event titles. She was also named an academic All-Big Ten selection. But most importantly, she hit on all four events at the NCAA Regional, helping the program to its second NCAA nationals bid. “It’s awesome to be looked at as a consistent performer,” Weinstein said. “Above all, I think gymnastics is looked at as a very precise sport, so it was really nice for me to be the leadoff. In gymnastics, the fi rst spot is an extremely well-respected spot because you have to be consistent, and you set the tone for the rest of the lineup. ... I feel I thrive under pressure, so just knowing

that my team was depending on me drove me to do well.” From there, it was on to junior year when Weinstein won 14 individual event titles, as well as two NCAA Regional titles. Weinstein then advanced to the NCAA Championships, the 10th Illini women’s gymnast ever to do so. But she felt out of place without her team. “Honestly, I’m a team player and I want more than anything for my team to be Big Ten champions and end up back at nationals, and so that’s really all I thought about while I was there,” she said. “It was great to have done so well, but I don’t do this for myself anymore.” This season, she has been on a mission, with three individual event wins and nine top-five fi nishes in individual events. Weinstein doesn’t care about titles or high scores, though. Instead, she only cares about the team. “She is a very vocal person,” Landrus said. “She is constantly encouraging and pushing her teammates. Alina is constantly trying to help everyone reach their potential anyway she can. She sets an example and tries to help lead them in the right direction each and every day.” After this season, those that support her at Huff Hall could be in the stands of a Cirque du Soleil performance. “I think that would be awesome for her to do Cirque du Soleil,” Kato said. “It’s a great opportunity and it seems like a lot of fun. I just hope I get the chance to watch her one day.” JONATHAN DAVIS THE DAILY ILLINI

become exploded — at least on Twitter and in the apartment. When Barrerra tweeted that he is “the best player not in the NHL” — only after Caccamo’s encouragement — a snowball effect occurred. “It’s (the followers) from the six junior teams I’ve played for, they really follow their teams religiously, so each team, there are a lot,” said Barrera, who has 2,700-plus followers. “I do it to get a rise out of people. A lot of people who I have no idea who they are on Twitter, they’ll tweet me back just chirping me. ... The Ohio coach follows me on Twitter, so I tweet that stuff because I know he sees it. I like to see people’s reactions, I think it’s funny.” All three are known for perpetrating their inside jokes on social media. Evans, @Mykevins, will often tweet or retweet about Barrera’s skillset, especially after his second Illini of the Week win with a tweet reading, “I am Patrick Kane. I am the Illini of the Week. Possible Illini of The Decade. Best in Illini history - The Bars.” The Twitter ringleader, Caccamo, is known to be the father of the three friends and possibly even the teams’ favorite hashtag “#best.” “We say ‘best’ a lot, I don’t know why. ... It’s just one of those dumb things that if you hung out with us we say that no one would know what the hell we’re talking about,” Caccamo said. “It’s kind of blowing up, though, I noticed. I see (center Austin) Bostock using it a lot and a couple more people are getting into that.” For the three, May will mark the last month of their time as roommates at Illinois. With Barrera on track to graduate this spring, Caccamo heading off to graduate school and Evans staying until December, the three will look to their favorite medium, Twitter, to keep in touch.

WBBALL FROM PAGE 1B eyes defeated then-No. 23 Michigan 63-57 in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Sunday and have now defeated six ranked opponents this season. The Hawkeyes are a wellrounded team that returns three starters from an NCAA tournament team last season. Sophomore point guard Samantha Logic started on the wing last season but has grown more comfortable in her role as starting point guard this season. “Logic really stepped in and has done a great job of playing the point, distributing the ball really well and getting them into their offense,” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant said. Logic contributes in many ways for the Hawkeyes, averaging 8.8 points, 7.1 assists and 6.3 rebounds per game. She has been able to dish out so many assists mainly because of her large frontcourt and sharpshooting wings.

MBBALL FROM PAGE 1B The Illini have experienced rebounding troubles in the past against teams like the Boilermakers and Golden Gophers, but Groce thinks his big men have made strides over the course of the year, even outrebounding Michigan on the offensive glass Sunday. “Without question, Griffey, McLaurin and Nnanna have significantly improved in many of those areas,” Groce said. Even if Illinois’ post players are able to stymie the Michigan State rebounding attack, the Illini’s guards still have to contain the Spartans’ guards. Groce said he particularly was impressed with Appling, who acts as the veteran presence for Michigan State. “I think he’s a winner,” Groce said. “He makes plays at winning time in the guts of the game.”

Six-foot-five senior Morgan Johnson and 6-foot-4 Bethany Doolittle anchor the Hawkeyes’ frontcourt. Johnson averages 15.7 points and 7.5 rebounds, while Doolittle averages 7.9 points and 5.7 rebounds. “We need to be physical,” Bollant said. “These girls have size, but aren’t as strong. But they’re certainly capable.” Guards Jaime Printy and Melissa Dixon help spread the fl oor with 3-pointers. Printy and Dixon combine for four per game, shooting 39 and 40 percent, respectively. Johnson and her classmate Printy have dominated Penn and GodBold throughout their college careers, with the Hawkeyes going 7-0 against the Illini with each win coming by at least seven points. The last time Illinois defeated Iowa was Feb. 15, 2007, and hasn’t beaten the Hawkeyes at Assembly Hall since Feb. 9, 2003.

Johnathan can be reached at hetting2 @dailyillini.com and @jhett93. Like most of Izzo’s teams, one player doesn’t make or break the team. Appling leads the Spartans in scoring at 13.5 points per game, but No. 13 Michigan State hung with No. 7 Indiana until the very end of that game Sunday despite Appling turning in his most disappointing performance of the season, fi nishing with three points. For Illinois to steal a victory in East Lansing, Mich., some of its elusive 3-point shots need to swish through the hoop. There’s a cautious feeling around the team that they will. “They eventually fall,” senior guard D.J. Richardson said. “But we have to do other stuff besides shooting. Get to the basket, get to the free-throw line and, obviously, get more offensive rebounds. Find other ways to win.”

Three Illini gymnasts to compete for US national team spot in Las Vegas BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER

There will be a new addition to Las Vegas’ clubs and casinos next weekend. The annual U.S. Winter Cup Challenge will be held Feb. 7-9, when three athletes from the Illinois men’s gymnastics team will compete for a spot on the U.S Senior National team. Fifteen spots are available, eight of which are automatically given to the gymnasts who were on the 2012 Olympic team. Things have changed since 2009, when Illinois head coach Justin Spring competed in his last Winter Cup Challenge. “Right now the national team is pretty strong, young and full of graduates,� Spring said. “When I was coming through, that was my generation and a lot of the national team members were active NCAA

the team and then competing well internationally.� After winning the NCAA Championship title, Valdez sees earning a spot on the senior national team as the next step. He was a member of the junior national team in 2009 and 2010. Though he will compete in the presence of Olympic standouts such as Danell Leyva and Samuel Mikulak, Valdez isn’t fazed. “I’ve been there a few times, so it isn’t so much of a star-struck thing for me,� he said. “The Olympic team, I knew all those guys, I’ve trained with them and I’ve been to camps with them. It’ll be cool to see them again, but I’m not really starstruck anymore.� Mori was also a member of the junior national team from 2007 to 2009 but has never made a senior national team. His most

recent attempt was at the 2012 Visa Championships this summer. Though he hasn’t ever been a member, Spring sees a spot for Mori on the team. “Yoshi arguably has the talent to be one of our better national team members but has just been held back with restrictions,� Spring said. “He looks up to a lot of the national team members that were his friends that he has trained with and aspires to be like, and I’m looking at Yoshi thinking, ‘Yoshi, you could be so much better than them.’� This will be Mason’s first time competing at the Winter Cup Challenge. He hasn’t suffered any recent injuries and is in good shape to have a strong performance. Mason asked for advice from Maestas and Mori about what the experience is like.

“They said it’s really not that bad,� he said. “The venue is pretty big and they do pack a pretty big crowd in there, but they said it’s way more pressure competing at NCAAs or Big Tens.� With anxiety running high and nervousness spreading, Spring plans to use his experience from national competitions to help give the meet more of a relaxed feel. “I think a lot of people can get worked up or close up a little bit and get a little tight in the meet, instead of letting it all out the way they know they can and hitting,� Spring said. “Despite being in this very different role as a coach now, I still feel very comfortable being at high stress competitions, so I hope that that rubs off.�
