With 1 month to go, Illinois marathon short on volunteers BY THOMAS THOREN STAFF WRITER

The Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon is once again at a loss in volunteers. For each of the marathon’s four years of existence, it has struggled to fi nd enough volunteers to sign up well in advance of the race. This year’s marathon is about 720 people short of the necessary 3,400 volunteers. For the race to go on, 237 volunteers must sign up for the course team, which monitors the entire 26.2-mile marathon and 5K courses, said Kim Nystrom, volunteer coordinator for the marathon’s course team. “(Course teams) are so important because they truly are the hosts,” said Mary Anderson, volunteer coordinator. The team also protects the runners from traffic at about 280 intersections and other busy areas. She said the about 450-member course team provides protection for the runners by placing one to four volunteers along every block of the route. Anderson said there is a sense of urgency to fill the course team vacancies as soon as possible

because the positions require training, which takes place in mid-April. Jan Seeley, co-director, said without course teams, the marathon cannot happen. “The police would basically not allow us to have it,” she said. Even still, this year’s level of volunteering is “on pace with previous years,” Anderson said. She said every year they have seen a volunteer shortage that required a fi nal push in order to fi ll the remaining positions. Many volunteers do not commit to a position until the marathon

Amaziah Zuri is called up to the bullhorn in front of a crowd of about 50 people to tell the story of what happened to Trayvon Martin the day he was shot. Zuri’s comments on Monday mentioned that racism in America is still very prevalent and can be seen through Martin’s story. Zuri also read aloud a poem she had written expressing her feelings on this topic.

Some attendees hope incident raises awareness of racism BY PULU WANG STAFF WRITER

One month after Trayvon Martin’s death, about 60 students and alumni gathered at a vigil held at the Alma Mater on Monday night. Martin, an African American 17-year-old who was unarmed at the time, was shot by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman claimed he acted in self-defense and was not arrested. Controversy has arisen over Trayvon’s death, which many are labeling as a case of racial profi ling.

Fizaa qualifies for Bollywood America dance competition BY RAFAEL GUERRERO STAFF WRITER

Fizaa, a student-run dance team and registered student organization, qualified for the Bollywood America National Competition on March 17 by placing fi rst at a dance competition in Evanston. Fizaa’s victory adds to a streak of well-received performances at competitions over the past year. Aside from their win in Evanston, Fizaa won a competition in Los Angeles a week earlier and placed second at another in New York City in November. Their next stop will be in Philadelphia on April 21 at the national championship, where they will compete against nine other teams. Jyoti Mishra, Fizaa president and senior in AHS, said the 20 members of the group — including seven freshmen — have taken advantage of their nine hours of weekly training and ultimately, exceeded their expectations.

“We had never done as well before,” Mishra said. “We put a lot of hard work into our practices and performances. To see us win so much, including backto-back (weekend performances), is very rewarding.” According to the Bollywood America website, each competing team must have won a qualifying competition chosen by the Bollywood America organization in order to qualify to receive an invitational bid. There are also two other “wild card” teams selected by the organization based on their performances at past competitions. Collegiate, independent, professional and dance school teams were eligible to participate in these qualifying competitions. Vishal Vazirani, freshman in LAS, said with the raised stakes of a national title, those ninehour practice weeks will be a

‘Unoffical’ resolution returns to U-C Senate If passed, stricter regulations would be enforced against drinking holiday BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER

The Urbana-Champaign Senate discussed a resolution eliminating Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day in order to prevent disruption to classes at its meeting Monday. Senator Mark Roszkowski, professor of Business, proposed this resolution in 2006 but has brought the subject to light again to emphasize the importance of minimizing the negative consequences of the celebration. Despite efforts from the cities of Champaign and Urbana and the University to enforce safety regulations during Unofficial, Roszkowski stated that “it remains an

event that seriously undermines the educational mission of the University.” Roszkowski said the University needs to take a stronger stance against Unofficial. “This requires that the leadership of the University, which means the chancellor and even the president of the University, (has) got to publicly come out and say that ‘This is not going to happen in the future,’” he said. “That has never happened ... the only thing that has happened is increasingly expensive attempts at policing.” He added that he is hoping for a different outcome than that of

six years ago. “We have a new chancellor who I think might be more favorable towards speaking out publicly against this event,” he said. During the discussion, several people raised questions about the resolution. The Illinois Student Senate has shown concern about the effectiveness of the resolution. Student senator David Huang, junior in ACES, proposed a different method to deal with Unofficial. He said rather than banning the event, a committee should be formed to fi nd ways of avoiding class disruptions on Unofficial. Some people have stated that the University is actually making progress on regulating Unofficial. Renee Romano, vice chancellor of student affairs, said the University is exploring the best possible ways for students to be

safe during the day. “A couple of things have been successful. We have really worked hard to shut down the disruptive activities in classrooms and the damage that occurred in the classroom buildings,” Romano said. “Another thing is that we prohibit overnight guests at the residence halls, and that has really gotten a lot of problems out of the residence halls.” Capt. Skip Frost of University police also participated in the discussion about the resolution. Frost said it is hard to regulate Unofficial with off-campus students being involved. “Seventy percent of the enforcements we take are citing people who are not affiliated with the University of Illinois,” Frost said. “That’s a big problem.” The resolution passed in a voice vote.

Ill. House to begin Smith bribery investigation Representative accused of illicitly receiving $7,000 for endorsement BY JOHN O’CONNOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — A special Illinois House committee meets Tuesday to begin investigating a federal bribery charge against one of its members. The committee will decide whether discipline is warranted for Rep. Derrick Smith. The Chicago Democrat faces a federal bribery charge but won his party’s nomination to his House seat in last week’s primary election. House rules spell out proceedings for reviewing a member’s conduct that could lead to reprimand, censure or expulsion. But it’s a rare proceeding that has the six-member panel treading carefully. “We’re venturing into uncharted territory,” said Rep. Will Davis, D-Homewood. “We’ll figure it out as we go along.” Davis is among three Democrats and three Republicans in the group chaired by Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a Northbrook Democrat. Federal prosecutors charged Smith, who was appointed to his seat last spring, after he allegedly accepted a $7,000 cash bribe in exchange for what he thought was his endorsement of a daycare center’s state grant application. The U.S. attorney’s office says the operation was an undercover sting. After Smith won 77 percent of the vote in last week’s Democratic primary over an opponent who used to be a Republican activist, top Democrats asked Smith to resign. They include Smith’s former employer and political sponsor, Secretary of State Jesse White. Smith has resisted, and he did not return messages seeking comment Monday. Before the election, Gov. Pat Quinn warned against judging Smith before a jury rendered a verdict. But the day after Smith kept his seat safe for the party, the Democratic governor said Smith should resign because of the “cloud hanging over his head.” During an appearance Monday in Springfield, Quinn said

Smith would “do himself a favor by resigning” before the House expels him. He would not explain why he’s now willing to call for his ouster after much more restrained remarks last week. He did note that Smith’s opponent in the primary was a former Republican. If Smith steps aside, Democrats could hand-pick his replacement. Illinois Democratic Party Chairman Michael Madigan , whose political fund poured more than $60,000 into Smith’s primary race, would not comment on Smith after his arrest and now says it would be improper to say anything because, as House speaker, he set up the investigating committee. Davis said it’s not awkward to sit in judgment of a colleague, but “unfortunate.” “It’s unfortunate that we have to have this conversation,” Davis said. “It isn’t awkward. We’ll do what we have to do.” The investigation was triggered when five House members — two more than necessary — sought the review in a petition to Madigan. One of those Republicans, Rep. Jim Sacia of Pecatonica, will present a written list of suggested charges, which is intended to guide the committee in deciding how far its review should go, according to House rules. The committee will determine whether there was misconduct by Smith. If it decides there was, another House committee will take conduct a hearing on possible disciplinary measures. The Senate will not be involved. That differs from an impeachment proceeding run by the House in December 2008 after former Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested on political corruption charges, which later earned him a 14-year sentence in federal prison. In Blagojevich’s case, a committee’s investigation led to a House vote to impeach. The Senate tried Blagojevich on the impeachment charge and voted to remove him from office in January 2009.

is near because they are not sure of their availability more than a few weeks in advance. Nystrom noted there are also many course team openings for Friday night positions along the 5K route. Because this race has a quicker pace and the route is confi ned to campus, which is more populated than many of the marathon’s segments, she said the course team members must be “anywhere anybody could step out onto the course.” There are also several hundred vacancies for the hydration stations, but Seeley said she is confident local organizations and businesses will be able to fill the positions. There are 15 stations for the marathon and one for the 5K race. The first half of the marathon requires about 60 volunteers per station, while the second half only requires 30 because of the decreased number of runners. There is an 8,000 runner capacity for the half-marathon race and a 3,000 runner capacity for the full marathon. Despite the relative uncertainty, Anderson remains hopeful that marathon leaders will be able to recruit enough volunteers for the marathon to go on. “Our community has stepped up every year,” Anderson said. “Now is the time to commit.”

United States.” Marcotte decided to host the event after talking with some friends and realizing that Monday was the one-month anniversary of the incident. She said she was impressed with the turnout, and it showed that people were really affected by Martin’s case. She added that she thought it was great that students were able to get together to talk about the issue and address the fact there is a lot left to do in terms of organizing and fighting for racial justice in the United States. However, not everyone at the event was convinced that this is defi nitely an instance of racism or racial profi ling. “I don’t know what happened that night, and nobody here knows what happened at this point,” said Ian McNamara , junior in Engineering. “I have heard evidence for and against both sides. I just think people should wait until the investigations are complete before they are ready to declare someone guilty.”

GOP attacks Obama for open-mic comment BY ANNE GEARAN AND CHARLES BABINGTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea — President Barack Obama told Russia’s leader Monday that he would have more flexibility after the November election to deal with the contentious issue of missile defense, a candid assessment of political reality that was picked up by a microphone without either leader apparently knowing. Obama’s Republican opponents pounced on the comment, saying the president has a hidden agenda that could include concessions to the Russians if he is re-elected this fall. “This is my last election,” Obama is heard telling outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. “After my election, I have more flexibility.” Medvedev replied in English, according to a tape by ABC News: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” an apparent reference to incoming President Vladmir Putin. Obama and Medvedev did not intend for their comments, made during a meeting in Seoul, South

Korea, to be made public. Once they were, the White House said Obama’s words reflected the reality that domestic political concerns in both the U.S. and Russia this year would make it difficult to fully address their long-standing differences over the contentious issue of missile defense. Obama, should he win re-election, would not have to face voters again. “Since 2012 is an election year in both countries, with an election and leadership transition in Russia and an election in the United States, it is clearly not a year in which we are going to achieve a breakthrough,” White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said. Obama’s candid remarks Monday illustrated the political constraints that hem in any president who is running for re-election and dealing with a congressional chamber — in this case, the House — controlled by the rival party. Republicans have fought Obama fiercely on health care, taxes and other issues. They are eager to deny him any political victories in a season in which

U.S. President Barack Obama, left, and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev chat during a meeting at the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, South Korea. Obama’s comments caught by an open mic were criticized Monday by the GOP. they feel the White House is within reach, although Obama’s remarks suggested he feels good about his re-election prospects. Even if Obama was confiding a political reality in a supposedly private moment, the comments gave the GOP new openings to question his sincerity and longrange plans. Mitt Romney, the leading

Republican contender to face Obama this fall, told a San Diego audience the unguarded comments were “an alarming and troubling development.” “This is no time for our president to be pulling his punches with the American people, and not telling us what he’s intending to do with regards to our missile defense system, with regards

to our military might and with regards to our commitment to Israel,” Romney said. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor who often faces charges of having been flexible on his own policies over the years, also issued a statement saying Obama “needs to level with the American public about his real agenda.”

FIZAA FROM PAGE 1A thing of the past. He said 30 hours is a very likely possibility — maybe even longer. “I am nervous but defi nitely excited,” Vazirani said. “As a freshman, to see us going through Bollywood America is really exciting.” Another excited Fizaa member is Mishra’s younger brother Samir, freshman in engineering. Samir, who has always been interested in Bollywood dancing, said his sister was the one who got him involved with the group. As for any sibling rivalry, he said there is some bickering, but that is to be expected from brothers and sisters. “We’ll have our arguments sometimes, but we do have a lot of fun,” Samir said. “We help each other out a lot.” The older Mishra, who won best female dancer at the 2011 national championship, said she is looking forward to challenging other worthy teams on a bigger stage. She said they will have to learn more dance moves, but everyone seems excited about the challenge. “I remember my freshman year we couldn’t have gotten into any of these big shows,” Mishra said. “Some of the best teams will be there, so for us to win this year and have a better chance of winning is pretty amazing.” Fizaa was founded in 2008 to promote Indian culture through various forms of dance. Along with that, the nonprofit organization also aims at being nationally competitive, Mishra said.

Next time around, experience not necessary

any at the University of Connecticut would have told us not to hire Michael Hogan two years ago. While Hogan was president of UConn, he clashed with faculty and endeavored on costly projects like renovating an administration building to the tune of $475,000 and placing life-sized cardboard cutouts of himself around the university. The issues faculty had at UConn were some of the same problems faculty had with him at Illinois: Hogan was out of touch and

liked to make decisions by himself. And sure enough, after only two years on the job here at Illinois, 130 of 200 chaired professors signed a petition for his resignation. Based on his performance at UConn, why did the Board of Trustees hire Hogan? According to an Inside Higher Ed article, Board of Trustees Chairman Christopher Kennedy said he did not understand the problems Hogan had faced at UConn, and interviews with Hogan’s references showed that he

had “great success in a similar job somewhere else.” Apparently, that’s the most important part of finding a university president. Subpar incumbents are favored over promising but untested administrators. Because the president has such a high-profile job, university boards prefer people who have prior experience as president of another university, even if they didn’t do a very good job. This should not be the case. The two runners-up for the presidency job — Kumble Subbaswamy,

provost at the University of Kentucky, and David Daniel, president of the University of Texas at Dallas — had experience in university administration, but neither had been president of a state flagship or a university with the same level of research Illinois has. It’s worth noting that both of these administrators are still in those same positions they were when they applied to be University of Illinois president. The next time the Board of Trustees needs to hire a new president or high-level admin-

went off in his head. After reading this, an alarm clock went off in mine. But before doing anything erratic, like throwing my cat, Yoshi, out the window, I continued reading. After making the possible connection, Flegr conducted a cross study comparing the personality traits of infected individuals versus those non-infected.

wouldn’t apply to me. But in recent years, I must say, I have become more fashion forward. While I still opt to shop at thrift stores, I’ve upgraded from the $1 rack at Salvation Army to the more luxuriously labeled “vintage boutiques” on Chicago’s North Side where I discovered, I do, in fact, love the skirt and cardigan look. Should I really be thanking Yoshi for my newfound style spending? We also can’t forgo the men here. Flegr found infected men to be more introverted, sloppier dressers and less trusting — a stark contrast to infected women. Those that don’t own a cat aren’t free from the great T. gondii, either. The parasite can also be picked up by drinking contaminated water, eating unwashed vegetables or consuming raw or undercooked meat. But the good news here is only 10 to 20 percent of Americans are infected, versus rates as high as 55 percent in France. Maybe that explains their superior fashion sense. Thinking about T. gondii, I’m remind-

ed of the time I was certain I had mistook my own pixie dust for anthrax after reading about the great anthrax scare as a kid. Or when I started picking out the potential psychopathic traits in my friends after reading “The Psychopath Test” by Jon Ronson last year. Maybe the greatest thing I have to worry about is, well — worrying too much. It’s an age-old moral for society, and a strong lesson in psychology. We’re given new things to worry about each day — “pink slime” in our children’s lunches, cancer-causing soda and the Mayan apocalypse. Clearly, our risk perceptions are somewhat skewed in an offbeat direction. As for Flegr, his study is quickly gaining both media attention and academic appraisal from researchers at universities like Colorado State, Stanford and Johns Hopkins. But when pondering throwing Yoshi out the window, I will keep my out of tune risk meter in mind. Although my next pet may be a dog.

he week of spring break is the perfect time for students to travel the country and experience the many textures of American life. The organization Alternative Spring Break helped me to satisfy this urge as a sophomore, but this year two of my closest companions and I decided to embark on a journey of our own. Our destination? The vacation town of Gatlinburg nestled on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains in southern Tennessee. We chose to go south because UrbanaChampaign is the defi nition of a “bubblecommunity” if there ever was one. Our objective was to step outside of this liberal, isolated campustown to get a taste of some home grown American culture that isn’t comfortably insulated by a world-class university. And what better place to start than the Bible Belt? Essentially the entire southeastern portion of the United States is aptly named for its religious fervor. Given that it apparently takes nearly two years to decide on a Republican presidential nominee, southern conservative voters have been consistently receiving a huge slice of the media pie. Being astute political observers ourselves, we wanted to demystify if this critical voting bloc is as conservative as Fox News depicts and if the stereotypes ring true. After all, you can’t judge an entire region of people from the uncompassionate hootin’ and hollerin’ that is now expected from the crowds at the Republican debates. After a moderate eight-hour drive, we saw a full-sized Confederate flag proudly waving in traffic on the back of an old rusted pickup. We knew we had to be close. Blowing into town by early evening, good ol’ Gatlinburg was bustling with the dinner rush. The streets were very crowded with wandering families, and I observed that the significant majority of them were white and often obese. The town was flooded with the large chain restaurants (Bubba Gump’s, Hard Rock Cafe, etc), souvenir and novelty shops, haunted houses, comical mini-amusement parks disguised as buildings, such as “Earthquake: The Ride,” and candy stores.

After spending a night here, I came to the conclusion that the planners had designed the town to adhere to the decision making process of a 4-year-old child high on Pixy Stix. To be honest, it didn’t seem like all these vacationers were really thinking about hiking the beautiful trails in the Smokies like we were, let alone actually being physically equipped to do so. This ended up working out in our favor because the trails turned out to be nowhere near as crowded as the line to get into the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum. This money-hungry, capitalist dream town was all spectacle and fun on the surface, but the crass and shameless excuses for entertainment revealed a hollowed-out, superfi cial and brand-centric modern Americana that disregards the fact that it is sitting next to a beautiful national park. The only thing, it seemed, that Gatlinburg wanted us to know was that money could be efficiently spent here. At times it almost felt like a consumerist hyper-reality: A Twilight Zone-esqe divergence where the pursuit of pleasure and profit became more authentic than reality as it exists outside the city limits. My critical brooding shouldn’t detract from the fact that the American South can, at times, be a wonderful place of vibrant natural beauty and social harmony. The people were generally courteous, kind and reasonable (I’ve been told that the home cookin’ is to die for). But the Southern culture that we experienced was certainly a gut-check for us Yanks. The one Confederate flag I’ve seen in Urbana is a shocking pariah in its context, but you can see this symbol of “southern heritage” everywhere south of Kentucky. And if you’re sick of the all-too American big chain and fast food restaurants, seek out the many beautiful forests and rivers that the South has to offer. Expeditions with friends often inspire more questions than they provide answers. The South left us all wondering, “How are these states united given our hostile political climate? Where can we share a common ground as American citizens? Or are we all merely dominated by a monoculture of consumerism dependent on flashing lights and base impulses?” It’s best to plan a journey of your own and fi nd out for yourself, but don’t forget to pack a few grains of salt.

Draw Something takes over as one of top apps BY ELI SALEH STAFF WRITER

You know you’re addicted when your phone dies in two hours, when you start having dreams about it or when you and your friends neglect Julianne Hough shaking it on “Footloose” while you diligently work on your drawing. For students who are looking for the next smart phone game, Draw Something seems to have taken over. This free application is the electronic version of the board game Pictionary. Players are given three words and must draw one word using limited on-screen drawing tools. Words can range from a simple ruler to a more difficult Lady Gaga. Your opponent, either a Facebook friend or random player, may then guess what your original word was. Released in early February, Draw Something has already gained more than 35 million downloads and 12.2 million daily users. “I think addiction is an understatement,” said Alla Krashevsky, freshman in DGS. “You know it’s bad when you get more excited over Draw Something notifications than new text messages.” Like Krashevsky, millions of other players share an obses-

sion with Draw Something. Sally Jackson, professor of communications, shared her opinion on why apps can be so addicting. “(iPhones and other smartphones) are always available to keep us from having any unused time. We use them to avoid ‘doing nothing,’ to give us a way to be busy while waiting,” Jackson said. “We are all getting accustomed to never being bored, even for a moment. Unlike a book or a newspaper, you can’t use up (phones’) entertainment value. They are always right there to fi ll any idle time.” With 50 to 75 drawings being made per second, Draw Something is one of the top Free Apps, Paid Apps and Word Games in over 80 countries, just under Angry Birds, according to the Apple App Store. Dan Porter, OMGPOP CEO and designer of Draw Something, promoted the game with little paid marketing and mostly word of mouth. Users attracted friends by posting their drawings to Instagram and Twitter. On Feb. 23, Porter tweeted, “We’re a top-10 free app. And we are invisible on the Web. No reviews from app sites, no general press. Just insane word of mouth. #deathofPR.” Since players can play at no

charge, one may raise the question of how Draw Something brings in the big bucks. “Free apps don’t make money directly,” Jackson said. “Some free apps (including Draw Something) have better versions available for purchase, so they are marketing tools. Others are reputation-builders for the producer, a different kind of marketing tool.” Porter has also sparked the attention of some celebrities such as Lil Wayne, Madonna and Lady Gaga. They are often given as words to draw, which promote their names. OMGPOP, maker of Draw Something, says the game’s best-guessed words are rainbow, sun, fish, house and tornado. The least-guessed include oar, pounce, Polaroid and meathead. Porter also plans to add some changes to Draw Something, including chat. “I like Draw Something the way it is right now,” said Jessica Bilski, senior in Education. “It can be a little slow but it’ll be interesting to see how they incorporate chat.” On March 21, OMGPOP was bought by Zynga, a gaming company. Zynga has yet to disclose the purchasing price, but sources estimate over $200,000,000.

New site Capsule unifies, packages event experiences BY MOHAMED ELRAKHAWY STAFF WRITER

Spring break may have come and gone, but as graduation parties and summer travel creep up, so will the headache of event planning and organizing. Gathering photos and videos into one location for later viewing and planning every detail of events has been made easier with Capsule, a new site with a companion mobile app dedicated to unifying and packaging events into one place. “When planning events, you end up using like 10 different services,” said Cyrus Farudi, co-founder and CEO of Capsule. “There is a ton of email exchanging beforehand. Then, when you’re at the event, people are text messaging and taking photos with digital cameras and other programs on their phones. When you get back, there are a ton of emails asking for photos, people posting pictures to Facebook (and) others using Instagram or Picasa.” In short, the founders realized this is enough to make eventgoers crazy, and set out to fi nd a solution. “It just didn’t make sense to us, and there was nothing to unify the experience,” Farudi said. Capsule is a space where people planning an event can communicate, share content and store memories all in one place. With an intuitive interface and easy navigation, one can set up a capsule with the title, time and location of the event. Inviting

people using email or Facebook ensures that only those who are uniquely picked can view the content and share posts. All of this communication is captured in a “stream,” where members can pin, like or dislike comments, post photos and send group messages. “It keeps chronological history of all of your events, with all its associated numbers, media, photo and conversation all packaged together,” Farudi said. But what makes this different from other social network sites? Omri Cohen, co-founder and CTO of Capsule, said that Capsule is not an exploratory network where you discover new people and see news as it pertains to one person; rather, it is more around a shared experience. It is designed so that only your actual friends are included in the communication, and not merely acquaintances. “The point is to connect with people you’re sharing an experience with. It could be a development group, an online photography club, a local biking team or a campus organization. The idea is it revolves around an experience.” Cohen said. Capsule lets members send out RSVPs, post photos to Facebook or Twitter and offers a group text number or email to which everyone can send their messages. Ultimately, the user or members of the group get to decide who can and cannot see the content — a big advantage compared to other social networks where it is hard to

control the content, the founders explain. “Capsule is private. There’s no auto sharing, no pulling information in from other sites,” Farudi said. “It’s all based on what you decide to share with whom you like.” CapsuleCam is the site’s companion mobile app that is available for iOS as well as Android users. CapsuleCam solves the problem of postevent photo sharing that inevitably arises when many people are using different devices to take pictures at different times. Pictures taken with the CapsuleCam app are automatically synced to the trip capsule photo album. The application then pushes it in real time for everyone in the capsule to see. After the event has passed, users can go back and relive the experience moment by moment as it happened. Using Capsule, there is a way to collect all the fun, hysteria and emotion of an experience — all without having to scroll through a news feed that gives information about every person you ever met, according to the founders. “Once you realize how fragmented your life is, you can see where other social networking sites don’t really work. Here you can organize how you know people, where you’ve met and other experiences,” Cohen said. “It really allows you to walk down memory lane, so to speak.”

MORE THAN

A DRESS

Student-run fashion label GOCA teaches principles of building a business BY SAHER KHAN STAFF WRITER

ights, glitz and glamour are what people usually associate with the fashion industry, but there is much more to the world of fashion than sparkly sequence dresses and lavish runway shows. “People think it’s such a glamorous life and think we are making so much money, but it’s hard,” said Omar Villalobos, junior in Fashion Business at Columbia College Chicago. Villalobos is the vice president of the growing fashion label GOCA, started by our University’s very own, Gordana Rasic, senior in LAS. Creating and expanding GOCA is a task that demands an incredible amount of dedication and passion, and Rasic and Villalobos are very familiar with the sacrifices that need to be made to start a business and keep it going. “We are so broke. We had to eat at McDonald’s because we couldn’t afford Panera,” Villalobos joked. GOCA is essentially a small group of people headed by Rasic and Villalobos that exert all their time and effort to keeping it alive. They must advertise the label, get sponsors and rally in buyers, and these are just the general aspects — the details of actual designing and putting on shows are even more duteous, Rasic said. Rasic and Villalobos are responsible for everything from hiring the models to hair and makeup. This is all on top of designing, picking the venues, creating a media kit and choosing the right shoes and music for each show. “Fashion is like telling a story,” said Grace Ajanaku, senior in LAS and project manager of the label. “You are trying to tell a story through the clothing you are presenting, and you have to make sure all the elements are right so people can see what you are trying to portray.” Ajanaku is working on getting buyers for GOCA, which is the key business aspect of GOCA because it’s what keeps people interested in purchasing their

designs to market to customers, she said. But getting buyers is difficult if no one knows who you are. Luckily for GOCA, they have established themselves quickly with the help of social media. “(For) anybody starting a business in any sense or any kind of entrepreneurship, social media is the biggest platform to help launch your career,” Rasic said. GOCA has been around for just a year, yet they already have a dedicated following, thanks to their exposure at the University and also at Columbia College in Chicago. “Gordana and Omar have worked their butts off to establish themselves in the Chicago fashion scene,” Ajanaku said. “They raised money to be featured designers at New York Fashion Week.” A goal of GOCA’s is for individuals to see their work as art, as well as fashion. “When other people look at GOCA as an artistic venue and not just fashion design, but rather a house of art, that’s when I know we’ve reached our goal,” Rasic said. Rasic and Villalobos are also looking forward to launching their charity, which is a scholarship program that allows young and aspiring designers to intern with them for three weeks and earn a scholarship to fashion schools like the Fashion Institute of Technology. “What motivates us is hearing from people who get inspired by the work we do at GOCA at such a young age so they go out and pursue their dreams as well,” Villalobos said. “We want to give back to the students.” Future events for GOCA include the launch of their Fall & Winter 2012 collection in Chicago on April 13, which tickets are on sale for online. But on top of the Fall & Winter collection, GOCA will appear in another show on campus for College Fashion Week on April 14. College Fashion Week starts April

Three Illini receive league honors Fatigato, Turner, Clarke earn end-ofseason accolades BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER

Lacing up the skates five days a week and shooting hundreds of pucks, as well as giving and taking body checks during the lengthy, grueling, seven-month season, has paid off for three Illinois hockey players. Senior forward Sam Fatigato, freshman defenseman JT Turner and sophomore goaltender Nick Clarke were selected to receive 2011-12 Central States Collegiate Hockey League (CSCHL) awards. Illini captain Fatigato was named to the all-defensive team. He

finished his four-year career with the Illini with 177 games played, collecting 27 goals and 35 assists for 62 points. Fatigato attributed a lot of his success to head coach Chad Cassel, who retired after 15 seasons with the team. “It feels good to receive some recognition for the little things you put into your game away from the offensive side,” Fatigato said. “In my four years here, (Cassel) has put me in a lot of defensive situations, and I have really built my career around being solid defensively.” Turner was named to the CSCHL’s all-rookie team. He logged big minutes for the Illini as a freshman, playing in 27 of 34 games this season, scoring two goals and adding four assists.

“Turner was one of our best rookies and Fatigato was one of the most consistent guys in the lineup,” Clarke said. “Both of them made my job a lot easier.” “It felt good to get the award,” Turner said. “I was honestly a bit surprised because there are so many good, young players in the league, including Derek Schultz, who was a key player for us this year. I thought he had a great chance of getting it as well.” Clarke finished the season with 23 starts, a 2.91 goals against average and a .895 save percentage on his way to the CSCHL 2nd team all-league honor. “I was surprised when I first found out,” he said. “But it is an honor, and I’m excited to see what I’m able to accomplish in my next two years here.”

And the award goes to...

Baseball looks to turn corner at Illinois State game BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

Illinois baseball head coach Dan Hartleb is hoping an off day will help his team bounce back Tuesday night when it faces Illinois State in Normal, Ill. Per NCAA rule, the Illini must have an off day during the week, and with five games in seven days, Hartleb decided to give his team a rest from practice on Monday. A short turnaround has the Illini getting ready for their first weekday game of the year after losing two out of three last weekend against Nebraska. The Illini feel like they beat themselves during the weekend, and think they know what they have to adjust to get back on the winning side. “We have to communicate on the field. We have to make that adjustment for sure,” left fielder Justin Parr said. “We just have to throw strikes from our pitching staff. We have to attack the zone and then our hitters need to be aggressive. We had a lot of good counts (Sunday); we just need to take advantage of them.” The team said that it can beat anyone if it can execute its game plan, echoing Hartleb when he says the Illini need to worry about their own play on the field. “ We just worry about ourselves,” Hartleb said. “We do the same things that we always do. We try to take care of our strengths.” “We worry a lot about what we do,” first baseman Jordan Parr said. “Strengthening things we need to work on, or continuing to work on things that have been successful for us these first five weekends.” Tuesday’s game will also be a chance for freshman John Kravetz to rebound after

WILLIAM SHI THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ John Kravetz, seen above pitching a game against Coastal Carolina, suffered his first loss of the season Saturday. a poor outing on Saturday. Kravetz lasted just one inning and suffered his first loss of the season (3-1). “I just want to throw more strikes and throw more off speeds for strikes, use all my pitches.,” Kravetz said. “I kind of fell a little in love with my fastball a little bit and I just want to get back to what I was doing before.”

Before his performance against Nebraska, he was leading the team with a 1.99 ERA. After giving up 8 runs to the Cornhuskers, it jumped to 4.13. Illinois State comes into the game with a two-game winning streak and is hitting .310 on the year with 18 home runs — nine more than the Illini. The schedule only intensifies

now for Illinois. They have at least one midweek game from now until May. All but two of those games are against Illinois schools, which the Illini have gone 3-1 against this year. Pitching depth will be essential, as Illinois begins a stretch of 20 games in the next 28 days. Junior Kevin Johnson and Kravetz have been the most

consistent starters on the team this year, but the other starters have struggled. Rob McDonnell was the team’s No. 2 starter coming into the year, but has been sidelined with elbow problems. Freshman Josh Ferry, meanwhile, has an ERA above six. Matt Milroy has started two games for the team this year, but is winless, also with an ERA above six.

All season, the No. 4 Illinois men’s gymnastics team had its sights set on April. The regular season didn’t necessarily matter; it was Big Ten and NCAA Championships the Illini were looking forward to. On Saturday, March 17, the Illini finished their regular season competition with a win against Iowa. Illinois now has a two-week break before the Big Ten Championships begin April 6 at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. “This is what it comes down to,” senior Anthony Sacramento said. “This is what we’ve been waiting for.” The Illini are taking this time to refine the little details in individual routines and to finalize the lineups. Most lineup decisions are already made, with the exception of the lead-off routine on a few events. “Ninety percent of the work has been done, it’s getting your routine down,” Illinois head coach Justin Spring said. “This final 10 percent of fine tuning and perfecting, it’s just like proofreading a paper, that’s the tedious, annoying drudgery. Getting the bulk of the work done is what you do, but really what makes it spectacular is that last 10 percent.” To keep things from becoming overly tedious and mundane, Spring has been implementing different types of practices, as he’s concerned the gymnasts may become worn out. Last Friday and Saturday, the Illini had a simulation of the NCAA Championships where the gymnasts practiced the events they are projected to compete come the real deal. The Illini went through everything as if it was a normal competition, with team preliminaries and then finals, complete with judges on all routines and crowd noise over the loudspeakers. “We did really well,” Sacramento said. “Our top allarounders, C.J. Maestas and Paul Ruggeri, weren’t even there, and we still had a really high team score, so I’m excited about that.” After months of minor injuries and multiple meets where the top performers were sitting out due to national and international competitions, the Illini’s ranking is lower than expected, but they are okay with that, Spring said. “I think we’re in a good place,” Spring said. “Fourth is fine. This team knows it’s a strong team and can do what needs to be done to win a national title.” The true test of the Illini’s abilities is how they will perform when competing under the same judges as everybody else, Spring said. “As a whole, we’re ready to get out there and show everybody what we’ve been working on the whole year,” junior Austin Phillips said. “It’s been a long season, and we’ve had our ups and downs, but everyone now is looking really great.”

“This final 10 percent of fine tuning and perfecting, it’s just like proofreading a paper, that’s the tedious, annoying drudgery.” JUSTIN SPRING, Illinois head coach

Offense comes up big for softball against Minnesota BY DAN LONGO STAFF WRITER

MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Arizona Diamondbacks’ Justin Upton drives in a run with a double against the Chicago Cubs during the third inning of a spring training baseball game. The Diamondbacks won 3-2 in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Monday.

Kennedy’s strong start paces Diamondbacks in 3-2 win over Cubs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — For the second straight start, Ian Kennedy looked ready to start on opening day. The Arizona ace pitched seven strong innings against a Chicago Cubs split squad for a 3-2 win on Monday. “I was disappointed in the walks I gave up, but I felt pretty happy how my stuff is coming along, “Kennedy said. “I got the pitch count up. That is why I went out in the seventh inning, to try and get it up because I was making contact early and getting quick outs.”

He walked two, allowing a run and five hits with four strikeouts. In Kennedy’s last two outings, he has given up one run and 10 hits in 11 innings. “I am happy with the way things have come along,” Kennedy said. “Spring training is trying to get ready for the season. It is nice to go seven today.” Paul Goldschmidt hit a solo home run for the Diamondbacks, and Justin Upton hit two doubles. Closer J.J. Putz pitched a perfect ninth for the save. “This was good. We worked on a lot of things,” Diamondbacks manager

Kirk Gibson said. “We worked on stealing third pregame, and Aaron Hill did it right away. We worked on techniques and reads. In general, every day at home we work on something, and the guys have been pretty open and receptive and try to engage that into the game.” Cubs starter Jay Jackson went four innings and allowed three runs and seven hits. He is considered a long shot to crack the rotation. Blake DeWitt and Ian Stewart hit backto-back doubles in the seventh inning for the Cubs’ run off Kennedy.

Entering the weekend, the Illinois softball team knew its offense would be tested facing one of the best pitchers in the Big Ten, Minnesota’s Sara Moulton. Moulton, a sophomore, is first or second in nearly every pitching statistic and entered the weekend leading the conference with the lowest ERA and most victories (14). The sophomore did not add to her victory total, as the Illini tagged her with her sixth and seventh losses of the season Saturday. In the opening game of the series, the Illini notched two runs in the first inning off Moulton, which would be all the Illini needed as starting pitcher Pepper Gay pitched a complete-game shutout, allowing just two hits. “We were coming into one of the best pitchers in the Big Ten, so it was a good test for us,” senior Meredith Hackett said. In Saturday’s second game, the Illini would come from behind to win in the seventh inning with a walk-off double by third baseman Kelley Wedel as shortstop Jessica Davis crossed home to seal the doubleheader sweep. The Illini totaled four runs and four hits off Moulton in the second game, including a two-run home run by Hackett. “Our team has been in all game situations this season and coming from behind is something that we’ve really shown is a characteristic of this team,” Illinois head coach Terri Sullivan said of the second victory. Hackett hit three home runs and had six RBIs to lead the Illini offense in the past four games. “I don’t really swing to hit balls out of the park, but when you hit the ball hard and make good contact at this level, it’s going to go,” Hackett said. Hackett leads the Illini in about every offensive statistic and ranks fourth in the Big Ten in slugging percentage (.675) and eighth in on-base

percentage (.484). “It’s what we expect of her, to be honest with you. She always has the power, and she is a senior leader for us,” Sullivan said. “But she’s not a secret to anyone we play, and I think that again really speaks to how good of a hitter she is and how she can be really mentally tough at the plate.”

Illini open up the Big Ten season at home After a long start to the season that included five road tournaments in six weeks, Illinois competed Saturday and Sunday in front of its home crowd at Eichelberger Field for the first time this season. The Illini opened up Big Ten season play against Minnesota, winning two out of three games. “It was really big getting the doubleheader sweep yesterday and in front of our fans, they were really great,” Gay said, after recording two wins Saturday. “We had a lot come out and support us, and that’s always exciting to open Big Tens at home.” A strong home record will be important for the Illini this season in hopes of finishing near the top of the Big Ten and clinching a postseason berth. Illinois has had success at home, going 8-7 last season and 12-1 during the 2009-10 season. Illinois will host Wisconsin, Purdue and Penn State at home, as well as a few nonconference games, including a matchup Wednesday against Indiana State. This Wednesday is important for the Illini as they look to bounce back from Sunday’s loss before entering another challenging Big Ten weekend at Iowa. “On Wednesday, we’re just going to have a short memory about (Sunday’s) game and take it to Indiana State,” Gay said. “Then we go to Iowa. We’re just really confident. It’s the Big Tens; anyone can win on any given day, so we’re just going to have to come out and play our best.”

This season’s National League performance not easy to predict High hopes for Nats, Phillies and D’backs ED EDENS Sports columnist

wo weeks ago, I broke down each American League teams’ playoff chances and predicted which teams would in fact break into the postseason field. In the end, it seemed clear that six teams had a significant advantage over the others in the AL. Taking a look at the National League, however, will reveal a much different picture. After analyzing injuries, offseason trades, top prospects and current talent, all three NL divisions seem more up for grabs than ever. Starting in the West, the Diamondbacks surprised everyone last year by winning 94 games, up from 65 the year before, and running away with the division title. This year, they figure to be right back in the mix. After acquiring Trevor Cahill from the A’s, Arizona will have one of the best rotations in the game with Ian Kennedy, Daniel Hudson and top prospect Trevor Bauer waiting to dominate the opposition. The Giants should make things interesting as long as flamethrowers Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain are around. If the San Francisco management can find a way to integrate both Buster Posey and Brandon Belt into the offense, the Giants will give the D’backs a run for their money. The Dodgers, Padres and Rockies will round out the West and should not be counted out of the race. Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw give the Dodgers superstars both at the plate and on the mound, respectively, while Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will once again be one of the best at his position. The Padres traded ace Mat Latos to the Reds this winter but acquired a king’s ransom, including Yasmani Grandal and Yonder Alonso, who will have a major league impact very soon. Any one of these teams could truly win the division, but the Diamondbacks should ultimately prevail with their incredible pitching depth. The Dodgers and Giants will also have successful years and will be in the wild-card race. Things are more complicated in the Central. The Reds

were the early favorite as the offseason began, and while they remain the favorite, other teams are poised to make a run. The Cardinals get ace Adam Wainwright back, who spent all of last year sidelined after Tommy John surgery. However, Chris Carpenter is currently listed as “out indefinitely” with shoulder weakness due to nerve irritation. The addition of Carlos Beltran will help relieve some of the pain of losing Albert Pujols to the Angels in free agency. The Brewers will also be gunning for a second-consecutive division crown, despite losing Prince Fielder to the Tigers during free agency. The signing of former Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez will replace some of the lost offensive production, and the reversal of the Ryan Braun suspension ruling gives the Brewers another 50 games with the reigning MVP in their lineup. Zack Greinke, Shaun Marcum and Yovani Gallardo can match up with almost any other rotation in the game, so Milwaukee will have plenty of weapons to throw at the Reds. The Cubs, Pirates and Astros will most likely finish at the bottom of the Central this year, but could make some noise. Last year, the Pirates were 53-47 and one game out of the division lead on July 26 before a loss to the Braves in 19 innings that ended on a controversial call at the plate. After that game, the Pirates won just 19 times the rest of the year and finished 24 games out of first. Chicago and Houston have some rebuilding to do and will be more significant factors three or four years down the road. As the season winds down, the Reds will triumph with a winning combination of pitching, led by Johnny Cueto and Mat Latos; hitting, led by Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips; and talented prospects, including Zack Cozart and Devin Mesoraco. The Reds will take the Central, as the Brewers and Cardinals vie for one of the two Wild Card spots. The NL East might be the most competitive division in the majors with the exception of the Mets. The Phillies, Braves, Marlins and Nationals are prepared to battle it out over the full 162game schedule. The Phillies have the most firepower, but Chase Utley and Ryan Howard will not start the season with the team due to injuries. Aging pitchers Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay are the best in the business, but an injury to either could be detrimental, especially

PAUL SANCYA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington Nationals’ Ryan Zimmerman singles against the Houston Astros in the third inning of a spring training game in Viera, Fla. because Roy Oswalt is no longer around to anchor the rotation. The Braves are full of young talent but consistency is difficult at a young age, and older veterans are showing signs of slowing down. Chipper Jones will miss a few weeks after surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, and Tim Hudson will likely miss a month as he continues to recover from offseason back surgery. The Nationals and Marlins are locked and loaded, planning to contend for the pennant. Miami has a new stadium and a few new faces, including Jose Reyes and Carlos Zambrano. Josh Johnson and Hanley Ramirez will return at full strength while Logan Morrison and Giancarlo (formerly Mike) Stanton will continue to develop into powerful corner outfielders. The Nats are one of the most exciting teams coming out of spring training this year. An offseason trade for lefty Gio Gonzalez will solidify the rotation for years to come as he will pitch alongside Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann and Edwin Jackson. Michael Morse and Ryan Zimmerman will jumpstart an offense that will feature Bryce Harper, one of the most hyped prospects in baseball history, by mid-season. Over the course of the entire season, the team that remains healthiest will win the East. I see the Phillies barely edging out the Nats, who will be in a fierce Wild Card race down to

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Trevor Cahill throws to the Los Angeles Angels during the first inning of a spring training game in Scottsdale, Ariz. the end of the year. After the 162nd game, the playoff picture will be as follows: The Diamondbacks, Reds, and Phillies will win their respective divisions as the Brewers and Nationals secure Wild Card births. In the Wild Card Round, the Nats will take

down the Brew Crew, setting up a matchup with the Phillies in the Division Series. The other divisional round will feature the D’backs and Reds, ultimately to be taken by Arizona in five games. They move on to face the Phillies in the NLCS, who defeated Washing-

ton in a series of pitcher’s duels. In an exciting six-game series, the Diamondbacks will beat the Phillies and advance to face the Tigers in the World Series. Ed is a senior in Engineering. He can be reached at edens1@illinimedia.com. Follow him on Twitter @cubsfan2310.

Baylor pounds Tennessee for historic Final Four bid LUKE MEREDITH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa — Baylor has just two wins to go for 40-0. Tennessee’s future is far less certain. Brittney Griner had 23 points, 15 rebounds and nine blocks before being ejected with less than a minute left, and top-seeded Baylor rolled over Tennessee 77-58 Monday night to advance to the Final Four. Shekinna Stricklen had 22 points for Tennessee (27-9), whose seniors became its first four-year class not to reach a Final Four. The second-seeded Lady Vols now face an uncertain future, as Pat Summitt has yet to say if she’ll return for a 39th season as Tennessee coach. She announced in August she’d been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type. The Lady Bears (38-0), who are back in the national semifinals for the second time in three years, will face either Stanford or Duke on Sunday night in Denver. Baylor’s Odyssey Sims, who led the Bears with 27 points, tumbled to the floor with 46.8 seconds left, and she and Stricklen had to be separated. No punches were thrown, but Griner and teammates Terran Condrey and Jordan Madden were ejected for

leaving the bench. The NCAA says none of the players will be suspended for the Final Four. Should Baylor win it all next week, it’ll become the first men’s or women’s team in NCAA history to finish a year with 40 wins. As for Summitt, she was given a standing ovation from Tennessee and Baylor fans alike when she came out roughly 15 minutes before tipoff. But as defeat became apparent, she sat silently on the bench with her legs crossed. Summitt has 1,098 wins, more than any basketball coach in NCAA history. But Baylor was too much for her Lady Vols. Like most of Baylor’s games this season, the Bears regional semifinal was more about dominance than drama — until a scrum in the final minute. Baylor led 35-20 at halftime despite a poor start shooting from Griner. Tennessee made a spirited charge to start the second half, highlighted when Glory Johnson scored a secondchance bucket on Griner and simply smiled when Griner tossed her to the floor. But the Bears are unbeaten because they’re much more than Griner.

Sims followed a layup through traffic with a 3, to help Bears go back ahead 49-38 with 11:12 to go. Tennessee made one final run, cutting a 19-point deficit to 64-53 with 4:48 left, but Griner finished off the Lady Vols with six points in the next minute. Johnson had 19 points and 14 rebounds for Tennessee, which had a habit of starting poorly. But the Lady Vols were ready for this one — at least for the first few minutes. Tennessee double-teamed Griner with center Vicki Baugh and help defenders, and Griner hit just three of 10 shots in the first half. But the Lady Vols missed nine shots in a row after an early lead, and Baylor slowly built its edge to 26-16 on three straight buckets by Sims and a 3 from Kimetria Hayden. Baylor’s lead grew to 35-20 in Johnson’s absence, as Tennessee shot an abysmal 22.9 percent in the first half. The Lady Vols hung close with Baylor in late November before losing 76-67. The rematch wasn’t nearly as close, sending the Bears onto Denver and Tennessee grappling with the possibility that Summitt’s career is over after 38 seasons and eight national titles.

Learning from Sunday’s lost, Nets overtake Jazz 105-84 career-high 13 points. Trailing by 21 early in the third quarter, the Nets got back in the game with a 26-12 spurt that closed the gap 72-65 after three quarters. Deron Williams helped close the gap to three points with an assist on an alleyoop and a jumper to make it 72-69 with 11 minutes to go. After that it was all Utah. Jefferson hit a 10-footer, Millsap followed with a three-point play after Green missed two free throws, and former Net Devin Harris hit a jumper for a 79-69 lead. After Kris Humphries scored his fi rst two points of the game on free throws, C.J. Mills scored a basket, Burks hit two free throws and Jefferson and Millsap scored inside to push the lead to double digits. The Nets made things easy for the

NEWARK, N.J. — Paul Millsap had 24 points and 13 rebounds, and the Utah Jazz shook off the weariness from their four-overtime loss 24 hours earlier to beat the New Jersey Nets 105-84 on Monday night. Al Jefferson added 19 points and eight rebounds as the Jazz won for the seventh time in eight games and kept a hold on one of the last playoff spots in the Western Conference. Alec Burks added 15 points for the Jazz, who used an 18-4 fourth-quarter run to lock up the game after New Jersey cut a 21-point deficit to three. Gerald Green led the Nets with 20 points. Deron Williams added 17 points and 11 assists against his former teammates on 7 of 21 shooting. Rookie Jordan Williams added a

Jazz in the fi rst half, making 12 baskets, shooting roughly 31 percent from the field and scoring 32 points, two more than their season low for the fi rst half. After seeing all of his starters play almost 50 minutes against Atlanta, Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin spread the minutes around in the half with reserves Derrick Favors and DeMarre Carroll and Burks playing as much as his starters. Spreading the time helped, as the Jazz got 26 points from their starters and 23 from the bench, taking a 49-32 halftime lead. Utah led by eight early in the fi rst quarter but didn’t score in the fi nal 3:47 and fell behind 17-15. The Nets’ Jordan Farmar and Anthony Marrow injured their groin and shoulder respectively. Also, Utah’s Raja Bell went to Florida to have his knee examined.

Cubs players show signs of strength in Spring Training THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MESA, Ariz. — Bryan LaHair is less than two weeks away from breaking camp on a big league opening day roster for the fi rst time. The timing should be just about right for the Chicago Cubs fi rst baseman, considering he has nearly 1,000 career at-bats in the minors and just 65 in the majors. “I was struggling early, but I have been working on some things,” LaHair said. “I’m going to hit no matter what, so it is a matter of timing. I am starting to feel comfortable at the plate and I am hitting balls hard.” LaHair, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound lefty power hitter, showed some of the comfort level he is feeling in Monday’s 2-0 win by the Cubs’ split squad over the San Diego Padres. In the fi rst inning against Tim Stauffer, LaHair hit a double to the right-center field gap that scored Starlin Castro. Batting only .188 through March 18, LaHair has gone eight for his last 15 to raise his average to .280 with five doubles and four RBIs. Part of the slow start was the result of the Cubs facing a string of left-handers in the early portion of the Spring Train-

ing schedule. LaHair entered Monday’s game hitting .125 against left-handers and .367 against right-handers. Cubs manager Dale Sveum has seen enough out of LaHair to know that he will be fi ne at fi rst base after the Carlos Pena experiment lasted only one year at Wrigley Field. “He is hitting almost .400 against right-handed pitching,” Sveum said. “Confidence is everything, but the fact of the matter is he is hitting the ball well against right-handers.” LaHair was the Pacific Coast League MVP last season after hitting .331 with 38 home runs and 109 RBIs at Triple-A Iowa. He can’t wait for his fi rst opening day in the big leagues after never getting that chance with the Seattle Mariners, the team that drafted him in the 39th round in 2002, or the Cubs, who signed him before the 2010 season. “I’m counting on it,” LaHair said. “I will be in Chicago this year and I think I am going to have a good year.” The way the spring is shaping up, left-hander Paul Maholm could be headed for a good year with the Cubs.

CHRIS CARLSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Paul Maholm throws to the Cincinnati Reds during the first inning of a spring training baseball game in Mesa, Ariz. Maholm, who has given up only one earned run in 10 spring innings, has earned a spot in Cubs starting rotation. Maholm has given up one earned run in 10 spring innings. He has solidified his spot in the starting rotation with five shutout innings, allowing four hits while striking out six and walking two. “I expect to make all of my starts and throw for more than 200 innings,” said Maholm, who is 1-1 with a 0.90 ERA. “That’s

my mindset and that is what is going to push me.” Cubs reliever Carlos Marmol made his fi rst appearance since leaving a game on March 20 because of cramping in his right hand. He allowed a hit, walked one and had a strikeout in a scoreless sixth inning. “I feel normal and good,” he said. “I controlled my slider

with no problems.” The Padres haven’t announced their starter for opening day. The pitcher who made that start last year — Stauffer — looked good for the second straight outing and might be inching closer to getting the nod. After throwing six scoreless innings on March 21, the righthander went five innings and

gave up two runs. “I think I am ready,” said Stauffer, 1-2 with 5.60 ERA in the spring. “I am working on things I need to work on. It will be fun getting that little extra adrenaline going (once the season starts).” “I am just getting ready for the season and wherever it falls is just fi ne by me,” he said.

Base-running contributes to Dodgers 4-3 victory over White Sox Gordon, Billingsley help Los Angeles pull out close victory over Chicago THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Dee Gordon gave the Chicago White Sox a taste of what the Los Angeles Dodgers hope will become familiar to National League opponents this season. The Los Angeles leadoff man tied up a close game with his legs, then the Dodgers pushed across the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning for a 4-3 win Monday. The Dodgers trailed 3-2 when Gordon opened the sixth inning with a bunt single, stole second, continued to third on a throwing error by the catcher and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jerry Hairston Jr. Gordon has 10 steals this spring. “He’s done it two or three times this spring,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “He gets on, they throw it away, he scores on anything.” Jerry Sands hit an RBI single in the ninth to win it.
