Supreme Court to decide on Affordable Care Act BY MATT RICE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
» » » » » » »
Despite mixed opinions among Americans, the fate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is now in the hands of the nine Supreme Court Justices, with the third and fi nal day of oral arguments taking place Wednesday. The constitutionality of the act is being called into question in the landmark case. The bill will most greatly impact the health care accessibility of young adults ages 18-24 “We now have two and a half million young adults that wouldn’t have coverage and now have access to care,” said Kathleen Sebelius, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services during a phone conference last week. “The number of minority young adults with coverage has seen the biggest increase.” College reporters called into the conference that commemorated the two-year anniversary of the legislation. Beginning in September of next school year, student insurance plans will “become more robust,” added Sebelius, meaning that for over 2,000 schools, student health insurance will provide full coverage. And the benefits continue outside of school, Sebelius added. “After graduation, there will be a whole different marketplace,” she stated. By 2014, all states must establish affordable insurance exchanges, which are marketplaces where consumers can fi nd affordable plans that fit their needs, according to a press release. That is, if the bill is still standing by then. The provision that threatens to sink the bill is the individual mandate, which incurs a penalty on adults who do not have some type of coverage when the bill goes into effect.

Although numbers still low, e-book sales rise year to year With ownership of e-readers, tablets increasing, e-books may soon replace school textbooks BY THOMAS THOREN STAFF WRITER
E-book sales are growing in the University’s campus bookstores as tablet ownership increases among college students nationwide. In the past year, e-book sales at the Illini Union Bookstore have doubled while
sales at T.I.S. College Bookstore have steadily risen for several years. “It seems like it’s doubling every year for the most part,” said Scott McCartney, senior associate director for retail operations for the Illini Union. In its 2011 fiscal year,
the Illini Union Bookstore’s e-book sales accounted for seven percent of the store’s total sales of new, used and rental textbooks along with e-books. This fiscal year, ending on March 31, e-book sales have increased to account for 14 percent of total textbook sales. This doubling of e-book sales occurred while total textbook sales only increased by 4.4 percent during the same time span. Shirley Barnhart, textbook manager for the Illini Union Bookstore, said the
two most common disciplines for e-books sold are business and the “hard sciences,” such as molecular and cellular biology. She said she does not believe there is a correlation between these fields and e-books sales beyond the fact that they lend themselves well to a digital format and are easier for publishers to produce. T.I.S. is much less reliant upon e-book sales. For the second straight year, e-books

Sephardic Jewish folk literature gets preserved for the ages in digital archives
Singing to share beliefs
BY DANNY WICENTOWSKI STAFF WRITER
JOSHUA BECKMAN THE DAILY ILLINI
Shafts of light fall on members of the Clearview and Orchardville Mennonite congregations as they sing choir hymns on the Main Quad. The groups visit the UIUC campus at least twice a year, usually in the spring and fall, to pass out literature, CDs, and spread awareness of their beliefs. They visited campus Tuesday.

Listen to Rashel Nahol sing. Her voice cracks, splintered in her old age, but the song is far more ancient than her 75 years — it’s at least 600 years old. Nahol’s song, “Ahi Estebas Yerushalaim,” or “There you were in Jerusalem,” now resides in the University library’s new multimedia archive of JudeoSpanish oral literature. The new database is intended to represent a unique window to the ancient oral traditions of Spanish, or “Sephardic” Jews. The collection, which encompasses just under 1,500 ballads, took more than four decades to develop. Professor emeritus Samuel Armistead at the University of California-Davis and his former colleagues Joseph
Silverman and Israel J. Katz began the project in 1959 interviewing Sephardic Jews who had immigrated to the United States. Armistead, the custodian of the collection, also worked with Bruce Rosenstock , associate professor of religion at the University. Together, they digitalized, transcribed and created the database, which holds nearly 2,500 fully edited transcriptions with associated audio fi les. The project was funded by a multiyear, half-million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation Digital Library Initiative, according to a press release. Armistead said he and his colleagues realized that the language and songs that had defi ned Spanish Jewry for cen-

This was our motivation from the beginning,” Armistead said. “We knew that when this generation passed on, their language would be lost.” Rosenstock said the story of Sephardic Jews is one that began in peace and ended in crushing tragedy.

University student receives theater award for paper BY MEGHAN GALLAGHER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Katherine Norman, senior in FAA, was awarded The Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, or KCACTF, Undergraduate Scholar Award for her research paper “The Myth of Resistance: An Analysis of Anouilh’s Antigone.” “The basic premise was that the playwright, Jean Anouilh, his Antigone is kind of held up as this focal point of French existentialism drama,” she said. “My argument is that America has totally misinterpreted his original intent for the work. It’s also one of my favorite plays, so that was fun.” This award is given to an undergraduate student in theater who writes an outstanding research paper. The judges look for originality of the topic, scholarly rigor, use of primary sources, organization, style, syntax, grammar and punctuation. “Her paper was the top ranked among papers across the country,” said Gregg Henry, KCACTF Artistic Director. “There were seven scholars who read and ranked the papers, so it was a question of high quality of scholarship. Ultimately, her work was judged the best in the country.” Norman’s analysis started as a paper for a class, but she said the topic interested her enough that she continued to work with it over the past summer and modified it for submission to KCACTF. “I think what most excites me is the fact that I’m an actor who won a scholarly award, because there’s kind of a divide in theater training right now — the scholarly side and the practical side,” Norman said. “I really hope that the fact that I’m predominately an actor who showed that I can do the scholarly work is making some people reevaluate theater training and what a full theater artist can be.” Tom Mitchell, associate professor of Theatre, commended Norman on winning the award and complimented her acting. “We are very proud of Katie’s achievement with the KCACTF Undergraduate
Scholarly Paper Award.” Mitchell said in an email. “She is a smart performer and that makes her appealing when casting,” Norman said the acting and academic sides of theater don’t have to be so separate and when they merge, a lot can happen. Aside from being recognized, Norman won $1000 and an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C. from April 18-24. She will attend the American College Theatre Association’s festival where many workshops and meetings with industry professors will be offered. “I’m hugely honored,” she said. “It’s really exciting for me personally to get to go to Washington and to have this recognition.” Throughout her time at the University, Norman has participated in many plays including “Battle of Angels,” “Iphigenia and Other Daughters,” “Misalliance” and is now working on “Kabuki Lady Macbeth” where she plays the role of the first witch. Aside from acting, Norman is interested in the cognitive neuroscience part of theater. She is sharing a presentation of her research about how an audience perceives a work of theater neurologically. “I think this is so cool on a neurological level of why theater is powerful and vital in a society and how it affects its viewers and its practitioners on such a deep level,” she said. “I really think that this art form is so vital to a healthy society.” After graduation, Norman will tour the U.S. and Canada with the Children’s Theatre Company for a year. The company focuses on bringing artistic programs back to schools that have had to cut them. Her ultimate goal is to be a resident member with an established company somewhere in an outdoor environment after she travels for many years. “Being established with a resident company would really give me an opportunity to explore (the neurological approach) and how that can be practically used in actor training and in devising theater,” Norman said.

University becomes Second Nature finalist, in running for further recognition for sustainability “The videos tell this story by showing their individual programs and projects, and how the campuses’ innovative techniques are leading truly comprehensive change.” SARAH BRYLINSKY, program associate
BY JESSICA AHN STAFF WRITER
The University recently became a fi nalist for the 2012 Second Nature Climate Leadership Contest with a video produced by the Office of Sustainability and Public Affairs committee. Planet Forward and Second Nature partnered up to sponsor this contest. “Second Nature is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create a sustainable society by transforming higher education,” said Sarah Brylinsky, program associate for Second Nature Inc. “The Second Nature award recognizes the most innovative higher education system that is driving climate leadership and sustainability.” Finalists of the contest were asked to submit a video that illus-
trated their climate innovation. “What we are looking for this year is adaptation innovations,” said Brylinsky. “How has your campus created new programs that help the campus and community adapt to climate changes?” The Office of Sustainability produced a video clip highlighting the University’s climate and sustainability innovation on campus. “This video was made in collaboration with Public Affairs,” said Stephanie Lage, assistant to the director of the Office of Sustainability. “They were the ones behind the camera doing all the editing and putting together.” Lage said the main goal of these videos is to educate and bring awareness to sustainability. Voting for the contest began March 14th and will continue through April 14th. Currently, the
University is competing with 17 other schools to receive recognition for their climate innovations. According to the Planet Forward website, the school that receives the most votes will have the opportunity to be featured at the GW Moving the Planet Forward conference in April. The winner will also receive recognition in the Huffington Post and National Geographic’s Great Energy Challenge blog, as well as in other public outreach opportunities. “Right now, Allegheny College is crushing the other competitors. They have over 1700 votes, and the runner up is Florida Gulf Coast University with a bit over 750 votes,” Brylinsky said. “The other schools really need to amp up their voting.” As of March 27th, the University has 483 votes, according to the
GOP candidate Gingrich promises his support if Romney wins Republican bid for to be president BY BRIAN WITTE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Under pressure to help unify his party, Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich pledged Tuesday to support Mitt Romney if the former Massachusetts governor wins enough convention delegates to clinch the nomination by the end of the GOP primary season in June. If Romney falls short, “I think you’ll then have one of the most interesting, open conventions in American history,” the former House speaker said as he campaigned for votes in next week’s Maryland primary. Gingrich is short on funds, and his hopes for a Southernbased comeback in the race were all but extinguished by rival Rick Santorum’s recent victories in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. Even so, he has insisted he plans to campaign actively into the party convention, which begins on Aug. 27 in Tampa, Fla. He signaled his change in remarks to reporters. If Romney gets the 1,144 delegates needed for the nomination by the time of the Utah primary on June 26, Gingrich said, “obviously I will support him and will be delighted to do anything I can to help defeat Barack Obama.” Gingrich and Santorum have both come under increased pressure from some Republicans in recent weeks to swing behind Romney, who is on track to pick a majority of delegates before the primaries end with the vote in Utah.
JOSE LUIS MAGANA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich address the Maryland Senate in Annapolis, Md. Gingrich pledged Tuesday to support Mitt Romney if he wins enough delegates to clinch the nomination. Gingrich has tried to position himself as an anti-establishment fi gure in the race, and has bristled at the devastating attacks that Romney and a Romney-aligned super political action committee unleashed at him at key moments in the campaign. Yet as a former House speaker, he is also aware of the importance of party unity as the general election campaign comes into view. Romney is the front-runner
3A
with 568 delegates, based on a tally by The Associated Press. That is slightly less than half the needed 1,144 delegates, and more than four times as many delegates as Gingrich, who has 135. Gingrich conceded he is strapped for campaign funds. “The money is very tight, obviously,” he said. “That’s why we’re trying to raise more money.” Gingrich has struggled since his campaign peaked just before
the Iowa caucuses kicked off the nominating process in January. He has won just two contests — in South Carolina and his Georgia home state. His campaign listed more than $1.5 million in outstanding debt by the end of February, according to Federal Election Commission fi lings, including legal fees and advertising production costs. At the same time, Gingrich had about $1.5 million cash on hand — the lowest of the four GOP candidates.
Planet Forward website. Students and faculty collaborated to create the video. Emily Cross, member of the Student Sustainability Committee and junior in LAS, said she hopes the University’s efforts towards sustainability are recognized. “What I want the committee to get out of this is to show students what their money is doing,” Cross said. “Without students feeling proud about what we’re accomplishing, what’s the point?” The schools who submitted videos to the contest represent “leadership in climate and sustainability education,” Brylinsky said. She added, “The videos tell this story by showing their individual programs and projects, and how the campuses’ innovative techniques are leading truly comprehensive change.”
FOLK LIT FROM PAGE 1A known as La Convivencia, or “common life together,” Jews generally lived peaceably in the Christian and Muslim countries within Spain until they were expelled in 1492 at the height of the Spanish Inquisition, he said. “They (the Jews) loved Spain, and it was a tremendous upheaval for them to leave,” Rosenstock said. “They held on to the things that they loved about this thousand-year life they had in Spain, which was the songs that connected them to this land.” However, while the Spanish language continued to evolve, the Jews retained the medieval form of Spanish. They carried it with them to North Africa and the Middle East, where Judeo-Spanish became infused with Arabic, and to the Balkans, where Spanish became tinged with Turkish. But Judeo-Spanish retained much of the identity of its medieval Spanish roots, creating an opportunity for Hispanists like Armistead to study Spanish as it was spoken more than 600 years ago. Sarah Shreeves, coordinator of the Illinois digital environment for access to learning and scholarship, said the University is now making sure that scholars like Armistead can study these ballads. “The biggest thing that we’re offering is actually stability,” Shreeves said. “We are committing to the long-term preservation of this material so that scholars years and years into the future will continue to have access.” The database is located at http://sephardifolklit.illinois. edu.
The core tenets of the act came under scrutiny during Tuesday’s arguments. Kurt Lash, director of the program on Constitutional Theory, History and Law at the University, has studied the parts of the bill that opponents claim are unconstitutional. “The core disagreement involves whether requiring an individual to engage in a private commercial transaction falls within the constitutional powers of Congress,” Lash said. Donald Verrilli, U.S. solicitor general, said on Tuesday that the issue of health care accessibility is one of economic concern for the nation. “For more than 40 million Americans who do not have access to health insurance, either through their employer or through government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, the (current) system does not work,” Verrilli said. “That is an economic problem.” Justice Anthony Kennedy disagreed, stating that the government cannot create commerce to regulate it. But Lash said that this would not be the fi rst time Congress stretched its constitutional powers. “Not even the government claims it is following the original meaning of the Constitution,” Lash said. “Instead, the government is arguing that the act fits within post-New Deal Supreme Court precedents like Wickard v. Filburn, which allow the government to regulate even the smallest local activity.” Sentiments on campus bolster arguments on both sides of the debate. “If we all must have carinsurance, is it really such a stretch that we all must have health insurance?” said Jason Blumstein, senior in LAS. However, Louis Ramirez , sophomore in LAS, sees the case differently. “It’s a little bit of a reach, I feel. You only need carinsurance if you drive, where as with this, you need health insurance just in general. And what about those that can’t afford it?” he said. Following the arguments’ conclusion, the Supreme Court will deliberate and is expected to rule by June.
“Personally, I come from a country [South Korea] where health care is provided. I’ve seen the benefits of a centralized health care system.” JOHN KIM, sophomore in Media
“Here health care is too expensive to foreigners. I know friends who actually flew back to South Korea or France for surgery because it’s too expensive here.” KATIE SONG, junior in Media
TABLETS FROM PAGE 1A have only made up 0.003 percent of the store’s total textbook sales. Brian Paragi, T.I.S. store manager, said even though e-books still are not a large portion of his store’s sales, he has seen a slow increase in recent years. He said he believes part of the reason textbooks are slow to catch on is because there is a small market for textbooks in general, so publishers have no incentive to devote much effort to develop them. Digital textbooks could be very appealing if they were to include interactive elements, Paragi said, but they currently are little more than PDF files for students to scroll through. Even still, Paragi said he believes e-books will dominate the market soon. A January 2012 study by the Pearson Foundation showed that tablet ownership among college students has increased from seven percent to 25 percent in the past year. The study also showed that 63 percent of college students “believe that tablets will effectively replace textbooks within the next five years,” an idea Paragi said he agrees with. “For what we sell, it’s hard to tell when the tipping point will be,” he said. “I do think it’s coming, and it will come fast.” Paragi said he imagines digital textbook usage will follow a path similar to that taken by novels in recent years due to the increase in e-reader ownership, something that he had not expected. “It’s just been monumental how quickly things have changed,” Paragi said.

Easter should avoid Hogan’s mistakes F
or nearly three years now, the University has been marred with very public administration scandals and difficulties. While many administrative problems existed before the Category I admissions scandal in 2009, that incident highlighted the administration’s shortcomings. With President Michael Hogan’s resignation, we hope a new president will finally turn the fresh page Hogan was hired to do.
In his new role as presidentdesignate, longtime University administrator Robert Easter needs to immediately separate himself from the administrative ills of Hogan’s era. In this year alone, the College of Law and Hogan’s former chief of staff, Lisa Troyer, were investigated extensively and received a lot of media attention. Hogan’s disagreements with faculty were noted as an embarrassment and a distraction from the goals of the University.
With Easter’s history of stepping up when the University needed a position filled, he should be a good fit for the job of president-designate. However, since Easter has been on the verge of retirement for a while now, we should make sure he is not getting worn out. In the meantime, another search for a president should be a topic high on the priority list. This time, though, the search needs to be done with
more careful considerations and for much less money. We have confidence in Easter and expect he will act quickly to repair the broken communication between administration and faculty and, perhaps more importantly, the University’s reputation. As a University, we need to attract the best and brightest to maintain our position as a top land-grant and research University. If the University of Illinois name becomes synonymous with cor-

THE PROGRESSIVE BEAT
Affordable Care Act still supported by precedent JASON FEBERY Opinions columnist
O
ne of the enduring truths about politics is that the party in the minority will always find a reason to become outraged at whatever is being done by the party in the majority. It happened during the Bush years, when Democrats blamed Republicans for rising gas prices — even though presidents have little influence over the price of crude oil. And it’s happening again, only this time Democrats control the White House and Senate. So far, the greatest cause of Republican outrage has been the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as “Obamacare.” The worst part about the legislation, according to most Republicans, is the individual mandate, which requires every citizen to purchase health insurance or else face a penalty. The passage of health care reform prompted 22 state attorneys gener-
al and four governors to file a lawsuit questioning the constitutionality of the individual mandate. Their argument was that the Constitution does not grant the federal government the authority to force private citizens to purchase any type of product or service such as health insurance. Fast-forward two years and the case against health care reform has advanced all the way to the Supreme Court, which is scheduled to finish hearing oral arguments Wednesday afternoon. Even though the Supreme Court has leaned conservative in recent years, I am not worried. The individual mandate is sound public policy, conceived by the conservative Heritage Foundation and once championed by all three current frontrunners for the Republican nomination (Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich). Previous bipartisan support is not enough, of course, to make unconstitutional legislation constitutional. But it does provide context to a fight that is more about political posturing than public policy. Why else would we still be talking about this? Virtually all non-partisan
legal scholars agree that the individual mandate is supported by decades of judicial precedent surrounding the Commerce Clause, which gives Congress the authority to regulate a broad range of economic activity (see Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States, Daniel v. Paul and Gonzales v. Raich). Opponents of the individual mandate try to argue that the authority granted by the Commerce Clause does not extend to economic inactivity, such as the decision not to purchase health insurance. But their argument falls short for a few reasons. First, the idea that the uninsured aren’t engaging in commerce is a canard. In 2008, the uninsured consumed $116 billion of health-related services and drove up premiums for insured families by an average of $1,000. That sounds like a whole lot of commerce to me. Second, the Supreme Court has never meaningfully distinguished between economic activity and inactivity. It has treated them as two sides of the same coin. Think of it this way. Congress often uses tax credits to incentivize economic activity. If you buy a 2011 Nissan
Altima hybrid, for instance, you will receive a $2,350 rebate. Own a home? You are eligible to save thousands of dollars each year with a mortgage interest tax deduction. Both of these programs are funded with taxpayer dollars. The more the programs cost, the more Congress has to raise taxes in order to pay for them. The inevitable result is that taxpayers who don’t purchase a car or home end up subsidizing tax deductions for those who do. There is no difference, in this sense, between raising taxes on the inactive to pay for economic incentives and penalizing the inactive through raised taxes, which is what the individual mandate does. It’s just a matter of semantics. To drive home the point about regulating inaction, let me give another example: the draft. The Supreme Court has ruled that requiring people to fight in a war is perfectly constitutional — not under the aforementioned Commerce Clause but under the Necessary and Proper Clause. The difference between clauses is trivial. If the draft is constitutional, then it must be constitutional to ban
inaction, which is just one logical step away from the individual mandate. Perhaps an even more clear-cut example of regulating inaction comes from Wickard v. Filburn, a case about Depression-era production quotas. The defendant in the case, Roscoe Filburn, wanted to grow more wheat than was permitted. Even though the excess wheat was for personal use, the Supreme Court ruled against Filburn, concluding that his actions involved a failure to purchase wheat in the general market and would, in aggregate, undermine agricultural price levels. This case clarified that Congress can compel purchases within an existing private market if non-purchase adversely impacts other participants — a close parallel to the “free rider” problem for health insurance. Given the Filburn case and the abundance of similarly relevant and binding judicial precedent, I am convinced that the Supreme Court will uphold the constitutionality of the individual mandate and consign this most recent saga over health care reform to the history books.

Fla. shooting discourse needs to address race PHL JOHNSON Opionions columnist
W
ho: Trayvon Martin, 17, 6’3”, 140 pounds; George Zimmerman, 28, 5’9”, 250 pounds When: Feb. 26 Where: Sanford, Fla. “It’s those crime scene surveillance tapes,” said Geraldo Rivera of Fox News. “Every time you see someone sticking up a 7-11, the kid is wearing a hoodie. Every time you see a mugging on a surveillance camera or they get the old lady in the alcove, it’s a kid wearing a hoodie. You have to recognize that this whole stylizing yourself as a gangsta, you’re gonna be a gangsta wannabe? Well, people are going to perceive you as a menace.” Rivera caught hell this week for his comment. Many equated his analysis of the cause of Martin’s murder — wearing a hooded jacket with the hood up — to blaming raped women for wearing revealing clothes. While the criticism of Rivera’s comment may seem fair, it is not. Rivera did not approve stereotyping; he simply admitted that stereotyping exists. Rivera’s comment addresses an unfortunate reality that parents around the nation face in one form or another every day. Rare is the father of a daughter who accepts immodest clothing as an excuse for rape; rarer is the father that has not sent his daughter back to her bedroom to fi nd something more
appropriate to wear. The same goes for a father of a son, not a hoodlum. “Pull up those pants and straighten out that cap.” While mom and pop will always see their kid in the best light regardless of attire, they know better than to send an unpresentable child into the world. This is not to say hoodies are not presentable. Aside from “gangsta wannabes,” think of all the other groups associated with them. Outdoorsmen come to mind. So do monks. Heck, so does anyone cold. The problems with Rivera’s statement are that it does not address race, and it ignores circumstance. “Well, people are going to perceive you as a menace,” said Rivera. Perception is in the eye of the beholder. When you are a young black man in the United States, people’s perception of you is unique. No matter how unjust, you are associated with crime, violence and overt sexuality, just to name a few. When neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman saw Martin walking back to the house of his father’s girlfriend in a gated community in Sanford, he saw not just a hoodie but a young black male in a hoodie. Zimmerman called the police. “This guy looks like he’s up to no good,” Zimmerman said to dispatch. “He is on drugs or something,” He assumed as much because Martin was “just walking around” in the rain. In a hoodie. As if not just any person would wear a jacket in the rain. Zimmerman later went on to call Martin a pejorative. “They always get away,” Zimmerman said. Against police instruction, Zimmerman followed Martin. The murky facts aside, Zimmerman did admittedly fatally shoot Martin in the chest following a struggle. How much of Zimmerman’s assumptions about Martin can be associated with his hoodie? No one knows. While Rivera is right to mention that hoodies are associated with “gangstas,” he misses much more. Martin did what any person would do when strolling through the rain to the convenience store for a bag of Skittles and an iced tea — he wore a jacket. What Rivera failed to mention was that where a white kid might be viewed as heedful to his mother’s request, a black kid was seen as a menace to society.

People love puzzles. From riddles to crossword puzzles to smartphone apps that let you compete with friends, lots of people seem to relish the challenge of puzzles and the thrill that comes when they solve them. Most people just consider them to be a pleasant diversion, but some believe that playing these games can help improve and maintain cognitive abilities. So does asking your brain to work through challenging problems help you in the long run, or are they just fun time killers? Issac Kim , junior in ACES, said that she used to play Words With Friends, which is similar to Scrabble, and Hanging With Friends, similar to Hangman, on her phone relatively often. However, Kim did not play these games with the goal of improving her mental skills. “I liked that you could connect with friends, and that they were really fast ... you could just take your turn in a few seconds,” she said, adding that she didn’t expect the game to improve her linguistic abilities at all.

HONOLULU — Hollywood icon James Cameron has completed his journey to Earth’s deepest point. The director of “Titanic,” “Avatar” and other films used a specially designed submarine to dive nearly seven miles. He spent time exploring and filming the Mariana Trench, about 200 miles southwest of the Pacific island of Guam, according to members of the National Geographic expedition. Cameron returned to the surface of the Pacific Ocean on Monday morning local time, Sunday evening on the U.S. East Coast, according to Stephanie Montgomery of the National Geographic Society. He reached a depth of 35,756 feet and stayed on the bottom for about three hours before he began his return to the surface, according to information provided by the expedition team. He had planned to spend up to six hours on the sea floor. “Cameron collected samples for research in marine biology, microbiology, astrobiology, marine geology and geophysics,” the Geographic said. The trip to the deepest point took two hours and 36 minutes. But Cameron’s return aboard his 12-ton, lime-green sub called Deepsea Challenger was a “faster-than-expected 70-minute ascent,” according to National Geographic. A helicopter spotted the submersible bobbing in the

“It’s really the first time that human eyes have had an opportunity to gaze upon what is a very alien landscape,” said Terry Garcia, the National Geographic Society’s executive VP for mission programs, via phone from Scotland. Among the 2.5-story-tall sub’s tools were a sediment sampler, a robotic claw, a “slurp gun” for sucking up small seacreatures for study at the surface, and temperature, salinity, and pressure gauges. Swiss engineer Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh, a U.S. Navy captain, are the only others to reach the spot. They spent about 20 minutes there during their 1960 dive but couldn’t see much after their sub kicked up sand from the sea floor. One of the risks of a dive so deep was extreme water pressure. At 6.8 miles below the surface, the pressure is the equivalent of three SUVs sitting on your toe. Cameron told The Associated Press in an interview after a 5.1-mile-deep practice run near Papua New Guinea earlier this month that the pressure “is in the back of your mind.” The submarine would implode in an instant if it leaked, he said. But while he was a little apprehensive beforehand, he wasn’t scared or nervous while underwater. “When you are actually on the dive you have to trust the engineering was done right,” he said.
pearly whites, honey can actually benefit your bright white smile. According to Engeseth, although honey maintains the characteristics of every dentists’ nightmare with its sticky and sugary aspects, it does not promote tooth decay due to its lack of sucrose. Sucrose, as many may know, promotes plaque adhesion and therefore this sticky, sweet treat is dentist approved. Not only is this treat plaque problem free, but it also rids the mouth of bacteria. “Some of the phenolics in
honey are antimicrobial agents and act against some of the oral pathogenic bacteria,” Engeseth said. Therefore, it is safe to say that your honey on toast in the morning will not kill you, and in fact will help protect your respiratory system while keeping your smile healthy and clean. A sugary sweet treat that is cheap and nutritionally beneficial? Just another reason to smile while wearing the orange and blue.

water and it was brought aboard the ship by a crane. There were no immediate reports regarding Cameron’s well-being. A medical team was present when Cameron, 57, emerged from the sub, according to the expedition physician, Joe MacInnis. MacInnis told National Geographic News before the journey that recent test dives, including one that went more than five miles deep, had gone well and that he expected Cameron would be fine. “Jim is going to be a little bit stiff and sore from the cramped position, but he’s in really good shape for his age, so I don’t expect any problems at all,” said MacInnis, a long-time friend of Cameron’s, according to National Geographic. Cameron also captured still photographs and video, but there was no immediate word on when the images will be released. The Geographic said the expedition is being chronicled for a 3-D feature film for theatrical release and subsequent TV broadcast. “There is scientific value in getting stereo images because ... you can determine the scale and distance of objects from stereo pairs that you can’t from 2-D images,” Cameron told the Geographic before the dive. The scale of the trench is hard to grasp — it’s 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon and more than a mile deeper than Mount Everest is tall.

OF HONEY FOOD TRUTHS: A WEEKLY LOOK AT THE STORY BEHIND SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS
Sugar’s substitute satisfies your sweet tooth without sending you to the dentist stitute for white sugar due to the presence of dietary antioxidants in its contents.

t’s sweet, sticky and undeniably delicious, and a simple topping or dip that can do wonders with a variety of foods. It’s honey. Many people would argue honey is unhealthy due to the sugars present inside it; however, quite the contrary is true. Honey is a great option when your sweet tooth is in need, and a very inexpensive option as well, which can always benefit a fellow Illini. In ancient times, it was often considered a healing ointment and was given to the sick. So what exactly is the truth behind this healing sugar? In order to gain a professional’s point of view, Nicki Engeseth, professor of food science and human nutrition, weighed in.
Honey is good for your respiratory system. TRUE Vocalists are known to put honey in their tea in order to help soothe their throats, but this home remedy actually helps the respiratory system by thinning the mucus build up in a person’s airway. Although others can tend to over exaggerate the powers of honey, Engeseth has seen a great deal of potential for respiratory ailment disorder treatment. “Honey helps promote the growth of bifi dobacteria — which are probiotic bacteria — that would promote positive health benefits,” Engeseth said. Therefore, when you have an important speech approaching in class, a simple teaspoon of honey in your morning drink can help soothe your vocal chords, and assist in maintaining that A.

Pure white sugar is nutritionally better than honey. FALSE According to Engeseth, although honey is composed of mainly sugars such as glucose and fructose, it does contain nutritional benefits in the presence of plant compounds known as phenolics. These particular phenolics are associated with “antioxidant capabilities, and more than one group has demonstrated that honey has dramatic potential to serve as a dietary source of antioxidants,” Engeseth said. Therefore, many nutritionists recommend it as a sub-
Just like any sugar, there is the possibility of toxins entering their genetic structure. “There is the potential in a very small proportion of honeys to have issues with Clostridium botulinum,” Engeseth said.

Turbulant search for head coach continues DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
The roller-coaster ride that has been the Illini men’s basketball coaching search took another loop Tuesday. Illinois Athletic Director Mike Thomas was reportedly scheduled to depart from Willard Airport on a 1:13 p.m. charter flight to Ohio University and return to Champaign with Bobcats head coach John Groce onboard. Rumors flew of a 3 p.m. press conference introducing Groce as the next coach of the basketball team but were eventually squashed by the Illinois athletic department. According to multiGROCE ple reports, including Mark Tupper of the Decatur Herald & Review, members of the Board of Trustees caused the deal to be put on hold, and the Learjet never left the Flighstar terminal. According to sources, Thomas has put an emphasis on the pursuit of African-Ameri-
can candidates. This comes after two members of the Board of Trustees voted against the Illinois head football coach Tim Beckman’s hiring at its January meeting, citing race as the reason. Illinois has never had a minority head football or men’s basketball coach. Groce, who is white, led Ohio to the Sweet 16 in the 2012 NCAA tournament. The Bobcats have gone 85-56 in his four seasons with the university but have never fi nished higher than third in the Mid-Atlantic Conference. Groce served as an assistant at Ohio State under head coa ch Thad Matta and was instrumental in recruiting current NBA players Greg Oden and Mike Conley. Thomas’ fi rst choice to replace Bruce Weber, who was fired March 9, was Shaka Smart. The Virginia Commmonwealth head coach, an African-American, received an eight-year offer at more than $2.5 million annually, but the 34-year-old coach turned Thomas down to remain with the Rams, who he has coached the last three seasons.
Tweeting in support On Tuesday, five freshmen men’s basketball players tweeted their support for interim head coach Jerrance Howard to take over the duties full ti me. Howard is a former Illinois player who has been on the staff for five years. Illinois Athletic Director Mike Thomas is in the midst of a prolonged search for Bruce Weber’s replacement, who was fired March 9.

Baseball unable to adjust, falls to Redbirds Illini falter, give up 16 unanswered runs
Illini
BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER
match more memorable for the duo was a NCAA tournament victory against then-ranked No. 19 Vanderbilt, a match that was a home meet for the underdog Illini. “I always think back to that Vanderbilt match as one of my favorite matches,” Lambropoulos said. “I think Nebraska over the weekend will be one of my top three matches, and even beating Texas and beating a top-10 team — I had never done that before.” “That Nebraska match, thinking back, gives me the chills,” Dasso said. Even from a young age, Lambropoulos knew that she was a great player and wanted to play tennis at the collegiate level.
Flashes of red continuously crossed home plate throughout Illinois’ last three games, and all it could do was watch. Since notching its fi rst conference win Friday, the Illini baseball team has allowed 47 runs in three outings. The fi rst two games were against Nebraska, and the third was Tuesday against the Illinois State Redbirds (16-6). Illinois (11-10, 1-2 Big Ten) fell 16-7 in its fi rst midweek game of the season. Freshman pitcher John Kravetz looked as though he had rebounded from the fi rst rough outing of his Illinois career, wherein he allowed nine runs (eight earned) to Nebraska and was pulled in the second inning. The right-hander cruised through two hitless innings against the Redbirds while the Illini built a sevenrun cushion. He faltered in the third inning, however, allowing two runs (one earned). After a scoreless frame from the Illinois offense, Kravetz could not make it out of the fourth inning, allowing six earned runs, including a grand slam from Illinois State second basemen Kevin Tokarski that gave the Redbirds an 8-7 lead. “The ball just kinda found open space I guess,” Kravetz said. “I felt like the hitters on the other team made adjustments, kinda saw what I was doing and it was kinda my fault for not making another adjustment.” The Redbirds padded their lead with three runs in the sixth inning and five runs in the seventh, leaving Illinois in a 16-7 hole from which it would not recover. “We’ve not been that clean defensively,” Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb said. “We’ve had some games where we’ve played very well defensively, and we’ve had a few games where we’ve let some things get away from us defensively.” Illinois State benefited from two Illini errors, which led to three runs for the Redbirds. “When you make an error in the field, you expect the pitcher to pick you up, and when the pitcher’s walked a guy, you expect the defense to pick you up,” left fielder Jordan Parr said. “Today we didn’t pick each other up as a team.” Illinois will look to stop its three-game skid as it heads down Interstate-74 to Peoria, Ill., where it will face Bradley (11-9-1). While pitching may appear to be the biggest area of concern for the Illini, it is not solely responsible for their recent struggles. “If you look, over the last three games, we have not been good on the mound, we have not been solid defensively and we have not

Softball looking forward to 1st midweek home game against Indiana State BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER
Following five weekend tournaments, the Illinois softball team will play its fi rst midweek game Wednesday against Missouri Valley Conference foe Indiana State at Eichelberger Field. This will be the seventh all-time meeting between the two programs. Illinois (15-11, 2-1 Big Ten) has defeated the Sycamores in each of the previous six meetings, the last coming on March 31, 2010, by a score of 5-1. “Indiana State is not an in-state team,” head coach Terri Sullivan said. “We have a goal to beat the in-state teams that we play. But they’re the next opponent on our schedule and it’s a chance for us to get better. We expect them to be at their best.” After having last Thursday’s game with Bradley postponed due to poor weather conditions, the meeting with Indiana State (11-13, 0-6 MVC) will be

Braves beat Mets, boost opening confidence THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Freddie Freeman is feeling good as opening day approaches. Freeman homered twice for his second straight game, leading the Atlanta Braves over the New York Mets 7-5 Tuesday in a matchup of teams that open against each other April 5. “I’ve been feeling pretty comfortable the last week, so I was just trying to get some swings on the ball and keep it going,” Freeman said. “I’m just trying to get my swing back up through the middle here. I can use the whole field with every pitch, and it’s paying off for me.” Freeman, who homered twice Sunday, sent a slider over the left-field wall in the seventh, then hit a drive to center in the ninth for his fifth home run of spring training. A day after making his spring training debut, the Mets’ David Wright was 0 for 2 with a sacrifice fly. Wright had been expected to get Tuesday off after tearing an abdominal muscle earlier. “We felt comfortable; we wanted to get him back out there today,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “We will give him tomorrow off. He looks good swinging;
certainly really good signs.” Michael Bourn homered in the second off the Mets’ Chris Schwinden, and Lucas Duda connected in the bottom half against Buddy Carlyle. “I think Lucas Duda is going to be a dynamic talent,” Collins said. “Obviously, he is power supreme. I just believe he is getting very comfortable with the fact he is a major league player, and he belongs here and he can hit here. He already has shown us he can hit lefties and hit righties, he can hit the ball out of the ballpark. What you’ve seen with some of his home runs is why I think the reconfiguration of Citi Field will be a big difference for him.” New York pulled the fences at the pitcher-friendly ballpark during the offseason. Carlyle, who pitched for Atlanta from 2007-09 seasons, allowed two runs and three hits in four innings. “It was nice to see Buddy come up and give us four strong innings, and Freddie, it’s been three or four games now where he is starting to see those at-bats get better and better, so that’s a good sign,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “The wind helped us a little.”

Angels see room for improvement despite 5-3 win Giants’ Tim Lincecum struggles with fastball THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Brad Mills matched Tim Lincecum pretty much pitch for pitch. Mills tossed six strong innings and the Los Angeles Angels beat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 Tuesday. The game was delayed in the ninth inning when a 50-year-old female fan was hit by a piece of a broken bat from the Angels’ Mark Trumbo. Paramedics were called and the fan, who was seated behind the Angels’ third-base dugout, was taken for medical attention. She was able to walk out of Scottsdale Stadium, moments before Alexi Amarista’s three-run double off Javier Lopez broke a 2-all tie. Lincecum was solid in his next-to-last spring start but the Giants’ two-time Cy Young Award winner admitted to some frustration with his fastball command. He gave up two runs and five hits in five innings, striking out two and walking two. The right-hander retired his fi rst six batters, then issued a walk to Peter Bourjos and gave
up a run-scoring double to Bobby Wilson. The same combination worked for the Angels in the fifth, when Bourjos doubled and Wilson singled him home. Lincecum also twice ran up three-ball counts on Mills. “It’s been frustrating as a pitcher just knowing that you can’t control a fastball... your go-to pitch and the one every other pitch works off of,” Lincecum said. “When it’s not working, and you can’t throw a strike to a pitcher who’s not swinging the bat, that’s frustrating.” Mills allowed two runs and four hits. The 27-year-old lefthander, who has pitched in 14 big league games for Toronto, likely will start the season at TripleA Salt Lake despite a 1.23 ERA. Mills’ ability to change speeds makes his fastball effective, manager Mike Scioscia explained. “You saw that today,” Scioscia said. Albert Pujols went 2 for 3 with a double for the Angels. Angel Pagan snapped an 0-for24 skid with an eighth-inning double for San Francisco but was then picked off second base. Pagan, hitting .179, may have competition for the starting cen-

You need to have that,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Pagan will get some at-bats in
the coming days in minor league games, Bochy said. “In general, we’re not swinging the bats very well. It’s been going on four or five days now,” Bochy said. “You’d like to see the offense pick up a little bit. That was our biggest issue last year — scoring runs.”

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Cliff Lee defi nitely looks ready for the regular season. Lee pitched six scoreless innings to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 exhibition victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Scott Podsednik ended the game with a two-out solo homer in the ninth inning. He went 2 for 2. Podsednik and Juan Pierre are competing for a roster spot. Podsednik is hitting .362 this spring while Pierre is batting .289. “We’ll make the decision,” Manuel said. “Podsednik hits the ball a little bit harder. He gives you more juice. Pierre is on base more. He has a high onbase percentage. Both of them hit lefties OK.” Lee allowed three hits, struck out three and walked one. The left-hander also hit for the fi rst time this spring and doubled in his fi nal at-bat. The 33-year-old Lee will make one more spring start this Sunday before taking the ball in the second game of the regular season on April 7 in Pittsburgh. “I’m pretty happy with where everything is right now,” Lee said. “One more start and then
the regular season, so it’s time to get after it.” Philadelphia scored two runs in the fi rst. Shane Victorino doubled and scored on Placido Polanco’s base hit. Jim Thome, starting at fi rst base for the second time in three days, doubled in Polanco. With Jeff Karstens throwing in a minor league game back in Bradenton, the Pirates went with all relievers. Chris Resop, designated as the starter, allowed two runs and three hits in two innings. Pirates right-hander Ryota Igarashi gave up a run and four hits in the sixth inning. Igarashi, a non-roster player in the mix for the fi nal bullpen spot with Chris Leroux, Daniel McCutchen and Jared Hughes, has allowed runs in five of his last seven appearances this spring. “From what I’ve seen of Igarashi, when he’s down the ball’s hard to hit,” Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. “The balls that were high today were just a little bit elevated. We’re going to keep working with him. We’ve got to have the ball down; we’ve got to work sides of the plate. When Iggy’s down, he’s very good. When he’s up, he’s very vulnerable.”

IOTW FROM PAGE 1B “Probably in seventh or eighth grade,” she said. “I always loved it, and I knew in junior high that I wanted to play college tennis.” College came around, and the Lake Forest, Ill., native chose to stay in-state and play for Illinois. Dasso and Lambro-
poulos will forever be linked; she was Dasso’s first-ever recruit as a head coach. Sticking to her style, Lambropoulos picked the Illini, despite their 10th-place finish in the Big Ten the past year, and was determined to bring the program to new heights. Lambropoulos won the Most Improved Player award twice in her career, an honor that is voted on by her
teammates. “She has really worked extremely hard over the course of her time at Illinois,” Dasso said. Just as she closes individual matches with her best play, her redshirt senior year is closing out stronger than ever. Illinois’ No. 21 ranking is the sixth-highest mark in program history. Lambropoulos is aiming for an
even higher finish. “My goal is to compete in every single match,” she said. “Even if I have to lose a match, not saying I should win every single match I play, but being in the position to win.” For Lambropoulos, just being in the position to win is the best spot for her to revel under the pressure and turn out another one of her signature finishes.

Illinois' John Kravetz reacts after being relieved in the fourth inning during the game against Illinois State at Duffy Base Field in Normal, Ill., after a 7-0 start by the Illini. The Illini lost 16-7 Tuesday.
BASEBALL FROM PAGE 1A swung the bats well late when we’re down,” Hartleb said. “It’s a combination of things.” Senior Nick Chmielewski will
pitch for Illinois on Wednesday. The right-hander’s three starts this season have been no-decisions. Chmielewski has a 5.62 ERA. “We got guys that are capable, but we don’t have guys that are doing their jobs right now.”
Hartleb said of his pitching staff. “We’ve just hit a little three-game rough stretch; we need to bounce back.” The Illini will face Braves left-hander Tory Doerr, who is 0-2 on the year with an ERA of 6.43.
Despite the recent defensive shortcomings, Parr expressed confidence in the team. “We’re not worried about anything right now,” he said. “We’re gonna keep doing the same thing — we’re gonna be all right.”
JUPITER, Fla. — Ricky Nolasco breezed through the first inning in four pitches. That made it a whole lot easier to become the first Miami starter to reach the seventh this spring. Nolasco pitched 6 1-3 innings of one-run ball and Heath Bell got three outs for his first save for the Marlins, who beat the Washington Nationals 3-1 in an exhibition game Tuesday. Bell, who signed a $27 million, three-year contract over the winter, struck out two and walked none. Nolasco allowed nine hits, but just one run. “I tried to get them over for strikes and just stay aggressive and let them hit the ball,” he said. “I was singled to death or whatever you want to call that, all of them bloopers but at the same time they hit some balls pretty good and right at guys and we made plays.” More important to him, he didn’t walk anyone, which was huge considering he had walked five over his last 9 1-3 innings coming into the game. “I felt really good with my delivery,” Nolasco said. “I was rushing before. In between sides I was working on slowing it down a little bit, and it ended up working out good. Washington out-hit the Marlins 11 to eight but all 11 hits were singles. Left-hander Gio Gonzalez recovered from a rough first inning for the Nationals and struck out six batters in five innings. He was charged with three runs — all in the first — and seven hits. “He got five innings in, around 80 pitches, which was a perfect next-to-last start in spring,” Washington manager Davey Johnson, said. “So I feel good about that, it was a good outing.”
Coming off his worst start of the spring, Gonzalez threw 28 pitches in the first, yielding three hits and a walk. He eventually settled down and allowed four hits over his final four innings, retiring seven of the last eight batters he faced. He threw 81 pitches, 53 for strikes. “There’s a lot of positive things that came out of that first inning,” Gonzalez said. “I’m glad that I settled down and stopped the bleeding immediately.” Gonzalez, Washington’s No. 2 starter, allowed eight runs over 3 2-3 innings on Thursday against the Cardinals. Austin Kearns hit a two-run double in the first inning. He went 2 for 4 and is batting .364 with a team-high nine RBIs this spring. Bell, who had pitched earlier in the game in five previous scoreless appearances, had three-ball counts on three batters. He hit Brett Carroll with a 3-1 pitch. “When you go 3-2 every count, it kind of makes you nervous,” manager Ozzie Guillen said. “ With the credentials he has, I’m not worried about it. The only thing I care (about) is when I look up to the scoreboard, make sure its zeros up there. How we get it done doesn’t matter.” Gaby Sanchez singled in Jose Reyes for Miami’s first run of the game. Gonzalez was an All-Star last year with Oakland, going 16-12 with a 3.12 ERA in 32 starts. He was acquired in a trade on Dec. 23. “I feel like I’m at 85 maybe 90 percent there,” Gonzalez said. “I’ve got one more start out there and we’ll see where it goes. Hopefully I can turn it around when the season starts and I feel like I’ll be at 100 percent.”
MLB teams bear resemblance to Drinking Illini’s best-loved bars THOMAS BRUCH Sports columnist
W
ith four of my most detestable college basketball programs and coaches participating in this weekend’s Final Four festivities, I’ve felt the increasing need to shut off the “college basketball” button on my sports switchboard and divert my attention elsewhere. And as it turns out, the eternal bastion of sports optimism known as MLB Opening Day is right around the corner. In eight days, baseball fan bases across the country will be cracking open beers and soaking in the nation’s pastime (stay back NFL, you cruel bloodsport!). Speaking of beer, haven’t you ever wondered how your favorite MLB baseball team equates to your favorite bar in Champaign? You haven’t? You mean to say that I’m the only one pondering these thoughts
as I’m blankly staring at a PowerPoint presentation in class? Fair enough. After considerable thought and very little research outside of my own experiences with Champaign’s nightlife, I have discovered that these MLB teams beer (Get it?!) some resemblance to campus bars. Cheers!
New York Mets: Kam’s I have to start big, and where else to begin than the most polarizing bar on campus. Kam’s has promoted itself as the “Home of the Drinking Illini,” and while there is certainly some merit to that claim, Kam’s is essentially the watering hole equivalent of a landfill, complete with cockroaches, general stickiness and the overpowering smell of something rotting. This comparison would be even more apt if the Mets still resided in the garbage dump that was Shea Stadium. Still, the urination overflow from Kam’s bathroom nauseates me in the same way the Mets pitch-
ing staff does when it toes the rubber. Prospective collegiate drinkers looking for a bar to attend have the same thought going through their mind that MLB free agents do while mulling over a contract offer with the Mets. “I really don’t want to go to the Mets (Kams). There are no other options? Wow. This is going to be a miserable time, but screw it, let’s go.” Sound familiar?
Cubs: White Horse/Geo’s I love the Cubs the same way I love White Ho: It’s low quality, the facilities are run down, the drinks are overpriced and just when they give me no reason to further support their respective institutions, I return because of some sense of misplaced nostalgia. Geo’s and White Horse were the first drinking establishments I came to know on this fine campus. Like my first encounters with the Cubs as a youth, I wasn’t experiencing quality, but I always found myself looking back into the
past and remembering how fun the whole charade was. It’s no secret the Cubs have been a poorly run organization recently, and it’s not a secret pertaining to Geo’s and White Horse, either. White Horse closed down temporarily my freshman year, and there’s really no explanation for how Geo’s is still passing health codes. But I’ll find my way back to Geo’s and White Horse soon, just like I’ll block out extensive hours in the afternoon this summer to watch the Cubs lose and lose and lose.
St. Louis Cardinals: Murphy’s Pub By all accounts, the Cardinals are a largely successful baseball club. Two World Series titles in the past six years places them into a higher echelon of the league. Murphy’s is a similar venue for intoxicated revelers, providing a unique, low-key experience for what the “Drinking Illini” Kam’s cannot. The atmosphere in both
cases is totally different than most ballparks and campus bars. Cardinals fans are respectful and often referred to as the best fans in baseball. At Murphy’s, you’ll see people sitting calmly on bar stools, engaging in deep conversation while savoring quality beer. But everyone knows that these are the snottiest fans and drinkers out there. Most of their conversations are probably condescending and detail why (insert another team or bar) are the reason the country is going in the tank. They’ll act respectful and diplomatic on the outside, but on the inside they’re boiling with entitlement and haughtiness. In short, don’t become associated with these two institutions. All of us normal people will be eternally grateful.
New York Yankees: Joe’s Brewery This one’s easy. These two are a juggernaut tandem in their respective fields. You may not like what they stand
for, but they are ruthless in being good at what they do at whatever cost, whether that be spending hundreds of millions on free agent players or inciting dance floor raves for hypersexual co-eds. These two institutions are so dominant that their name’s are synonymous with entire months, or in Joe’s case, days. The Yankees are a staple of playoff baseball and even have a former player, Reggie Jackson, who is deemed Mr. October. Meanwhile, Mondays at the University are just a continuation of the weekend whilst attending Monday Night Joe’s. The phrase “sounds like a case of the Mondays” is replaced by the ever-present question “Are you going to MNJ’s?” The monopolies these two have on Mondays and Octobers are always annoying, but their presence is formidable and one cannot deny their success.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Drew Smyly throws against the New York Mets in the second inning of a spring training baseball game in Lakeland, Fla. The March 12 preview game and the games that followed left Detroit manager, Jim Leyland, looking for a fifth starter.
surprise.” Brian Bogusevic and Brian Bixler each hit a two-run homer for Houston. Jason Castro and Jose Altuve each had two hits and scored twice. Austin Jackson hit an inside-the-park home run and Brennan Boesch also connected for Detroit, which jumped out to a 5-0 lead. Wandy Rodriguez, Houston’s likely opening-day starter, allowed five runs and six hits in six innings. “I wanted to go longer into the game and I did that today,” said Rodriguez, who threw 90 pitches. “I tried to throw everything, used a lot of change-ups.” The left-hander said he is “not 100 percent ready” for the April 6 opener against Colorado, but he will get one more spring start. “He was frustrated with himself when they jumped out in front of us for a fiverun lead,” manager Brad Mills said. “He wasn’t happy with himself, but he saw the guys get back in the game and then Wandy was able to pitch very well.” The race for the fifth spot in the Astros’ rotation became more clear when left-hander Zach Duke was released on Tuesday. Right-handers Kyle Weiland, Jordan Lyles and Lucas Harrell are still in the competition. Harrell will get his first spring start Wednesday against the Miami Marlins.

Boston Red Sox starter Josh Beckett delivers to Tampa Bay Rays batter Desmond Jennings during the first inning of a spring training baseball game in Fort Myers, Fla. Beckett tossed five innings of one-hit ball and the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-0 on Tuesday.

faced them in spring training. “I think you could face a team once during spring training,” he said. “But, yeah, I defi nitely think there comes a familiar approach, if you will, especially when it comes to how you got to a pitch or how you got a guy out. The more times he sees that the more times he’s going to have either video or a mental log of, ‘OK, this is how he got me out. This is what he’s going to do this time.’” Tampa Bay was shut out for this third time this spring. The Rays managed just three hits; a double by Jose Lobaton , and singles from Desmond Jennings and Ben Zobrist. Cody Ross hit a three-run homer off Joel Peralta in the second. He leads the Red Sox with four home runs this spring. With Tampa Bay’s James Shields pitching in a minor league game, reliever Fernando Rodney started for the Rays and threw one hitless inning. Rays right-hander Brandon Gomes, coming off back surgery, recorded two outs in the seventh and was charged with four runs. He walked four and allowed one hit. Rays manager Joe Maddon said he felt Gomes, coming off back surgery, was close to being completely healthy but not quite there yet. Gomes agreed. “I’m confident I’m still very close to where I need to be,” he said.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Josh Beckett had no problem pitching against a division rival so close to the start of the regular season. Beckett tossed five innings of onehit ball and the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-0 on Tuesday. “Josh is working on his changeup a little, and I thought threw a lot of really good pitches today,” manager Bobby Valentine said. “I think he got his work in, put up a bunch of zeros, was competitive working against their hitters and I think that’s what he needed. He’ll have one more short (start). But he had pretty good stuff today.” Beckett struck out five and walked three while lowering his spring ERA to 0.95 in five starts. He threw 84 pitches, 49 for strikes. The All-Star right-hander thinks he is very close to being ready to start the season, but still has things to work on. “As far as arm strength and stuff goes there’s still stuff you got to figure out during the season, too,” he said. “I think if you hit the ground running in April, you’re probably not very old. So spring training’s, in my opinion, a little bit long. But it’s to get everybody ready.” Beckett is scheduled to start Boston’s home opener on April 13 against the Rays. This was the only time he

GLENDALE, Ariz. — As poorly as Ubaldo Jimenez has pitched this spring, even a performance in which he gave up a bunch of hits looked pretty good. Jimenez threw plenty of strikes in five innings for the Cleveland Indians in a 7-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Jimenez allowed two earned runs and seven hits, walking none and striking out three. He said he stayed consistent with his mechanics in his secondto-last start of the spring, lowering his ERA from 7.24 to 6.27. “I was able to throw a lot of strikes to get ahead and stay ahead,” Jimenez said. “I think it was the fi rst game that I’ve been able to do that in spring training.” Jimenez is trying to bounce back after fi nishing 4-4 with a 5.10 ERA for the Indians last season following a late trade with the Colorado Rockies. He is expected to be Cleveland’s No. 2 starter. Indians manager Manny Acta said Jimenez’s secondary pitches were possibly the best he’s thrown this spring. “It’s a big relief for me,” Acta said. “I wanted to see some improvement. He looks very relaxed, at times too relaxed. He says he doesn’t always pitch well in spring training. He has assured us the velocity will be there. We have to trust him.” Brent Morel and Alejandro De Aza hit their fi rst home

runs of the spring for the White Sox, both two-run shots. Paul Konerko added two doubles. Zach Stewart, a candidate for the Chicago bullpen, allowed a run and three hits in 5 1-3 innings. “Whatever role or job they decide for me and want me to pursue, that’s fi ne,” Stewart said. “My main goal is just getting there (in the majors).” Before the game, the White Sox sent six players to their minor league camp, boosting the chances of infielders Eduardo Escobar or Ray Olmedo winning the fi nal bench spot. Escobar, a switch-hitter, started at shortstop and went 0 for 4. He is batting .421 this spring. Olmedo started at second base, went 2 for 4 and is hitting .450. Escobar is on the 40-man roster while Olmedo is a nonroster invite. “I’ve been working very hard and will continue to do that. I think that being here as long as I have, making the cut, shows the hard work that I’ve been doing.” Escobar made his major league debut Sept. 3 and hit .286 in nine games. “You could say that I’m a natural shortstop, but by the same token, the more reps and practices I get at the different positions, the more comfortable I feel,” he said. “Also, it gives me the opportunity to highlight what I can do.” Olmedo has hit .228 in 198 major league games.

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Rangers manager Ron Washington wasn’t going to take any chances with his starting shortstop. Elvis Andrus left Tuesday’s game against a San Diego Padres split squad after the second inning, but Texas went on to a 10-9 victory behind Mike Napoli’s two homers. “Once he said he felt a little tightness in his quad we took him out,” Washington said. “We didn’t give him a chance to say nothing.” Andrus came out with a tight right hip flexor muscle. He was 0 for 1 with an RBI. Washington said he’ll hold Andrus out of the lineup Wednesday but plans to start him Thursday night against San Francisco. Napoli hit his first two home runs of the spring and Ian Kinsler had three hits for Texas. “The two balls to Napoli weren’t good pitches on my part,” Padres starter Cory Luebke said. “But I think that results sometimes can be a little deceiving.” Luebke gave up fi ve runs, eight hits and a walk over four 1-3 innings, striking out six. Projected as San Diego’s No. 2 starter, the left-hander
had allowed only three runs in 14 innings during his four previous starts. “I feel good,” Luebke said. “I got up to about 90 pitches and still had a lot left in the tank.” Jeremy Hermida homered on consecutive pitches in the first and third for the Padres. Jeff Gyorko, Yasmani Grandal and Andy Parrino also went deep for San Diego. “The ball was flying out of here today,” Washington said. “If you got it up it was leaving.” Joey Butler tripled home the tying run in the bottom of the ninth and scored on a wild pitch to win it. After the Padres scored twice in the top of the ninth to take a 9-8 lead, Matt Kata led off the bottom half with a double off Alex Hinshaw. Butler followed with a triple into the right-field corner. Texas has won consecutive games for the first time since the opening week of Cactus League play. Left-hander Robbie Ross led a parade of Rangers relievers to the mound, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk in two innings. He struck out one. “He had a lot of fight in him,” Washington said. “You’re not going to be perfect in this game but he kept coming and that’s what we want to see.”

PHOENIX — It’s been a year since the Fiesta Bowl scandal embarrassed legislators, but at least some Arizona lawmakers still like their perks. The Arizona Diamondbacks have again offered free tickets to legislators for the baseball team’s fi rst game of the season, and a team executive said Tuesday that at least 40 of the 90 senators and representatives have accepted so far. “A good time,” said Rep. Doris Goodale, R-Kingman, said when asked what she she’ll get out of going to the game April 6. Lawmakers won’t break any rules by accepting the passes. And Sen. Judy Burges, R-Sun City West, said the tickets she’s accepting for herself and her husband provide an opportunity for lawmakers to socialize and get to know each other away from the pressurecooker of the Capitol. The Fiesta Bowl scandal has led to criminal charges alleging bowl personnel were illegally reimbursed for campaign contributions. The politicians involved apparently weren’t aware of the scheme. In a separate issue that directly touched legislators, the Fiesta Bowl’s internal investigation found that numerous lawmakers accepted free game tickets and trips to college football games. Many had not reported them on fi nancial disclosure forms. A prosecutor who investigated whether legislators violated gift and disclosure laws concluded no prosecution was warranted because state laws are so complex and contradictory. The Diamondbacks’ giveaway doesn’t violate the state’s general ban on giving gifts to lawmakers because the offer is made to all 90 members of the Legislature. Team President Derrick Hall said the free tickets provided legislators are part of a tradition that he started about six years ago to make opening day a community celebration. “It’s just focused on opening day, making that more of a special event,” Hall said. He also said the team makes sure it complies with all applicable laws. The team’s website says tickets for opening day range from $5 to $160, but Hall said the tickets that legislators will get will likely be unsold ones for lower-price seats in Chase Field’s upper deck. Hall said the team doesn’t consider the event as a lobbying move, and team lobbyist Tom Dorn said the only legislative issue that he has worked on for the team so far this session has been a stillpending bill to allow guns in public buildings. The legislation has been amended to exclude publicly-owned venues such as the sports stadium used by the baseball team. “We simply want to protect our fans,” Dorn said. Burges said she considered the Fiesta Bowl scandal when deciding whether accepting the Diamondbacks’ offer would be an image problem for the Legislature. She said she concluded that the Fiesta Bowl’s offerings made to other lawmakers were in a different league. “Those tickets to the football games were very expensive,” she said. Goodale said there are no strings attached to accepting the seats that she described as “up in the rafters.” “I never, ever take anything with any expectation there’s a return. That’s clear,” Goodale said. Hall said the team wasn’t providing lawmakers with anything at the game, but Dorn said his lobbying fi rm, which has other clients besides the Diamondbacks, separately had invited lawmakers to a pregame gathering at a nearby restaurant. Rep. Debbie McCune Davis, D-Phoenix, said she hadn’t decided yet whether to accept opening day tickets, but she said she’d pay for them if she does, as she said she’d done previously. McCune Davis said the real issue is that legislation proposed in the wake of the Fiesta Bowl scandal to tighten the state’s gift and disclosure requirements remains bottled up in the Legislature, not getting hearings. “I think the public expects us to take action,” she said.
