U of I lends itself to students of all ages Kids from all over nation attend UI summer camps, University energize’s prospective students MAGGIE O’CONNOR STAFF WRITER
Hundreds of camp attendees crowd into University residence hall lobbies, pillows clutched close to their chests. They may be towing a bag full of well-worn athletic equipment or folders of marked-up sheet music, their eyes shifting quickly around the room and taking in the faces of potential friends, competitors and teammates for the upcoming parent-less week. What they do not know is that as they scope out their surroundings, the University is keeping a close eye on them as well. Brian Walsh, camp director for Intercollegiate Athletics, says this is a chance for younger students to begin to aspire to attend the University. “Any time we can get younger kids here at University — experiencing living in residence halls or running out to Memorial Stadium — we get that into younger minds, and we are automatically energizing them on coming to U of I,” he said — and he is not just talking about athletics. During the summer months, the University hosts a wide variety of camps and conferences for all different ages and interests. Attendees come from all over the United States, even from as far as Alaska, but most are from the Midwest. On any given day, camp attendees could be lacing up their golf shoes, practicing their jump shots, tuning their instruments or hitting the books. Camps through Intercollegiate Athletics include 17 different sports, and the University’s conferences and Special Events host more than 30 different conferences for students ages 7 to 18. Walsh says the camps can be anywhere from 30 to 900 camp attendees for any given sport and roughly 6,000 total throughout the summer, though the numbers this year are slightly lower compared to enrollment in previous years. He attributed part of this to the economy and said that another potential factor is the change of coaches. “It’s not a bad thing, it’s just that the product that we’re selling is instruction, and the other part is interaction with players and coaches and Fighting Illini athletics,” Walsh explained. “When you have a change in staff, you initially have a huge surge whereas men’s and women’s basketball had great camps but their staff came in later so camp numbers were a little bit down.” Regardless of how many students and athletes are enrolled in the summer camps, the increased number of visitors has the University police on alert, said Sgt. Joan Fiesta of the University Police. Camp directors reached out to the police to request that extra police cars patrol popular areas like Green Street and ensure that camp attendees are kept safe. Samantha Beatty, Summer Coordinator for Conferences and Special Events and 2012 alumna, said it is essential that parents feel comfortable sending their child to camp. Especially

Participants in one of the University’s summer volleyball camps practice a drill at Huff Hall on Sunday. The University offers or sponsors summer camps for a variety of interests, ranging from athletics and music to academic pursuits and firefighting. The camps typically have around 6,000 participants throughout the summer. A diverse range of youngsters from all over the United States, even from as far as Alaska, but most are from the Midwest. for athletic camps, on-site trainers and a well-prepared staff ready to handle anything from homesickness to a sprained ankle, are part of running a successful summer program. The staff is almost all in-house, Walsh said. Students are employed by private-certified and University Housing where campers stay, including Florida Avenue Residence Halls (FAR), Illinois Street Residence Halls (ISR), Bromley Hall and Sherman Hall. For Jessica Newman, junior in LAS and summer front desk clerk at ISR, working with people from summer conferences and camps like the Illinois Student Youth Music program (ISYM) and spending time with kids on campus is reminiscent of home with her younger siblings. Besides the obvious opportunity for employment, University students and camp instructors also benefit from the influx of younger students because it can also provide fresh perspectives. For graduate students and professors used to instructing college-aged students, summer programs refresh their skills because they require a different mindset, said Chris Reyman,
professor of music at Millikin University and summer coordinator for the Jazz music camp. “They don’t know what they want to do when they’re 12 years old ... so the energy is very different than with college students,” Reyman said. “We work them pretty hard at this camp, and they get pretty tired. But still they’re all very energetic, and they’re unpredictable in a good way.” Trainers are also Illinois students, and the camps are largely instructed by Illinois athletes, coaches and even Olympians like men’s gymnastics head coach Justin Spring. And although it may be odd to walk down a Green Street that looks more like a high school hallway than a campustown, it is important to keep the bigger picture in mind. “At the end of the day, U of I is much bigger than what we’re seeing from August to May,” Walsh said. “And that just proves that U of I is not just an academic institution; it’s all about experience and whether it’s academic or athletic camp ... it rejuvenates you and reminds you why U of I and Fighting Illini athletics are so great.”
University staff to receive 2.5 percent increase raise based on merit BY JAMAL COLIER STAFF WRITER
The University will be awarding some members of its faculty and staff meritbased raises starting in the fall. The board of trustees approved a 2.5 percent increase, though the University is dealing with budget issues. The raise will cost nearly $30 million as they tap into internal budget reallocations over the last two years and income from tuition. Randall Kangas, associate vice president for planning and budgeting, said he thinks
the raise was more than necessary. “It’s a very modest increase and we know there’s a lot of hurt and trouble out there in the world,” Kangas said referring to economic troubles. “But we have to be competitive in the marketplace for top faculty. We have to.” As the market price continues to rise for top faculty, Kangas also acknowledged the University is just “doing what we can compared to the market.” Even with this increase, the University isn’t keeping on a steady pace with market inflation.
In 2009, the University awarded 1.5 percent increases followed by two years of no increases in 2010 and 2011. Last year, the University gave faculty and staff a 3 percent average raise. The University has seen its state funding drop by nearly 6 percent, so it’s been difficult to compete with salary offers that other Universities can offer administrators. It is unclear how many staff members or the rate at which staff members have left the University for better salaries. Not every employee will receive a raise,
and it will be up to the heads of departments to decide how the raises are split up. Some staff members may get a 3 percent raise, and some may get a 2 percent raise, but the raise from person to person will vary since there are no restrictions. All contractual raises will be unaffected by the new salary program. “This is a world class institution, that’s one of the tops in the world,” Kangas said. “President Easter says that this is a stretch, but it was necessary to do, and that’s kind of where we are.”

CHAMPAIGN SUMMER NIGHTS Weekly event to showcase Champaign’s variety of fun, eccentric artistic acts BY ELIOT SILL ASSIGNMENT EDITOR
For the remainder of the summer, Friday nights in downtown Champaign will have a different feel to them. Put on by 40 North, Champaign county’s arts, culture and entertainment council, Friday Night Live kicked off the first of several events this year that will showcase a variety of Champaign’s artistic performers. Mayor Don Gerard was in attendance for a balloon release at 5:45 p.m., 15 minutes prior to the first performances. At the intersections of Neil and Park, Neil and Church, and Walnut and Chester Streets, two acts will perform — one at 6 p.m. and another at 7 p.m. — to punctuate the nightlife with free streetside performances. In years past, the event was called Art & Sol and occurred monthly. According to Kelly White, executive director of 40 North, the event was handicapped by this lack of frequency. “Before, we would just be getting going, and people would just be noticing it, and we’d be done,” White said. “So this time, no one has to remember dates ... and then also it gives 40 North the opportunity to provide that many more chances for artists who perform, which ties in with our mission completely.” White said the three corners at which the performers set up are modest, to portray the acts as “pop-up, guerilla-type performances” rather than elaborately planned events. Additional sponsorship was provided by Bank Champaign, the Illinois Radio Group and the Champaign Center Partnership, or CCP, the latter two of which helped publicize the event. The increase in sponsorship funding allowed for the increase in dates.

Recruits of the Police Training Institute perform a plyometric routine before dawn inside the indoor track of the University Armory on Jan. 20. The first Friday training session of many to come, a new initiative from the Associate Director of the Institute has set better recruit fitness as a new goal. 2011, but pressure from Prussing and state representatives gave them more time to figure out a way to fund PTI. Then in March, the training board voted not to certify PTI’s basic law enforcement training class, which meant the Institute could not train recruit officers for the time being. It looked like PTI was set to close again in May pending a vote from the board of trustees at its meeting in Chicago, but a few days before the meeting, the agenda item was pulled in order to find a way to keep the Institute open. “In terms of funding PTI, we will
not have to be subsidized by the University,” Schlosser said in an email. “Funding is possible because of the already existing state appropriation, staffing changes that are more effective and cost efficient, funding opportunities with the training board and anticipated increases in recruit enrollment.” State representative and University alum Chapin Rose said in a press release that PTI is an “economic asset to our community.” “I want to thank both Director McClain and President Easter for working together to get this done,” Rose said. “I look forward to a new
vision for PTI that moves it into the realm of a world-class academy that will bring law enforcement leaders from around the world to Champaign-Urbana.” Schlosser said the first venture in their research will be improving the curriculum that police officers have to go through in the state. He said he is excited to reach out to other departments for research projects in technology, as its presence only continues to grow in law enforcement. PTI has a full class of 50 recruit officers arriving Sept. 9 for their 12-week training.
Fast Internet connection to be available soon UC2B offers residents up 100 times faster Internet BY JORDAN HUGHES CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Homes, businesses and schools will soon have better access to high-speed connections. The University, in partnership with the cities of Champaign and Urbana, is accomplishing this through what they’re calling the “UC2B” project. The Urbana-Champaign Big Broadband Project (UC2B) will provide high-speed connectivity to 40 K-12 schools, 17 social service agencies, 14 health care facilities, nine
youth centers, four public library systems and two higher education institutions. The project was funded through federal and state awards and additional private funding, totaling to $31 million overall. The University’s Campus Information Technologies and Educational Service, or CITES, will be in charge of overseeing it, with a budget of $42 million. For several organizations, this may be the first time they have access to high-speed Internet connections. The UC2B project aims to provide this type of cutting-edge technology to everyone in the community. Over 187 miles of fiber-optic broadband network will be constructed. This extensive project means that four low-income neighborhoods will have the ability to connect. Through the “fiber-to-the-home” pilot project, over 2,500 low-income households will now have the chance to
purchase Internet plans that are more affordable. The project means that more businesses and homes can have access to technology. Earlier this month, company representatives started canvassing neighborhoods to get residents to sign up for the service. Local residents can be a part of the network for as low as $19.99 per month. Community ambassadors are going door-to-door to speak to residents about the value in purchasing this low-cost option. UC2B connections can be up to 100 times faster than current Internet speed. The project will expand throughout the summer and fall. UC2B wants the Champaign-Urbana community to be more interconnected and efficient through this expansion. Customers can sign up for the service through these ambassadors, or through the project’s website, uc2b.net.

Quinn pressured to act on health exchange BY JORDAN HUGHES CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The landmark Supreme Court decision upholding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as ObamaCare, last month has had ripple effects at the state level. Local health organizations are hoping to see the stipulations of the ACA put into place sooner rather than later. One hundred and nine local organizations and small businesses have signed a letter addressed to Gov. Pat Quinn, asking him to use the privilege of executive order to get a health exchange set up in Illinois as soon as possible. The Campaign for Better Health Care in Champaign (CHBC) is one of the organizations that has been at the forefront of this fight to get state-run health insurance up and running. The Campaign for Better Health Care is asking advocates to contact the offices of their representatives, senators and Gov. Quinn to call for the creation of an Illinois health care marketplace. The message they are asking people to leave for these elected officials is clear: “Let Gov. Quinn know the waiting is over. It is time to take action now by signing an executive order creating a pro-consumer health care marketplace for Illinois!” Caroline Yoo, senior in LAS and intern for the Campaign for Better Health Care, has been working with the CBHC to
advocate for change in Illinois’s health care system. “Our mission is that everyone deserves access to health care,” Yoo said. “We believe it should be accessible and affordable and that it is a human right.” Yoo explained why setting up an Illinois health exchange soon is crucial to the success of their mission. “We’re working hard to make sure that people in Illinois can get the care they need,” Yoo said. “We’re pushing for a health care exchange to be set up soon because we know people are going to benefit from having this option.” Engaging members in the community is a big part of the CBHC. “Our organization is a coalition of so many other organizations that want to see people in Illinois have the right to health care,” Yoo said. “The support of others that have the same mission as we do is what makes it possible to make changes.” Under the ACA, states will need to set up a health exchange by Jan. 1, 2014. The letter that over 100 organizations sent to Gov. Quinn is calling for the state to set up a health exchange before this date by means of an executive order. The General Assembly could not decide on a plan to develop a health exchange when session ended in May. Local organizations are anxiously waiting to hear how the state will decide to move forward with setting up an exchange. Local nonprofits and health education organizations in the community would like to see action on this issue.
Cloydia Hill Larimore, vice president of Advancement for the Cunningham Children’s Home in Urbana, works with young people with emotional and behavioral disabilities. Her job allows her to interact with a wide range of families and individuals in the community. Larimore knows how helpful the health exchange will be for these families in Illinois. “We know how important this issue is for families and children,” Larimore said. “The children who live in our facilities have access to health care, but we need to make sure it stays that way.” The state is under fiscal constraints, but Larimore does not think health should be at the expense of these monetary concerns. “The health care situation is very complicated, and we appreciate the extreme financial distress the state is in,” Larimore said. “But health care issues should be a top priority.” According to Larimore, the state has done well addressing child health care issues, but there is still more to be done. “Anything we can do to help more quickly resolve all these issues so that our kids are not without health care is great,” Larimore said. “It’s a great concern of ours that this health care is adequate and that we figure out how to move forward soon.” With the upcoming presidential election and the recent Supreme Court ruling, this issue will be high on the list for Illinois officials when session resumes later this year.
Greek Reunion fills up area bars over the weekend Reunion provides boost to campus business BY JEFF KIRSHMAN COPY CHIEF
As is often the case with the Greek community at the University, Greek Reunion was met with a range of emotions this past weekend. Members of fraternities and sororities had an eclectic amount of reasons for attending Greek Reunion. For some, like Hannah Marks, junior in the sorority Alpha Epsilon Phi, Greek Reunion provided an opportunity for her to visit her apartment for the fall and relive the experience of spending time with friends. “We got to go out to lunch together, and we didn’t have to plan it or anything,” Marks said. “That’s how it always was. With my sisters, like it’s supposed to be.” For others, including Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity member Anthony J., and his friend visiting from Iowa, Nick M., both of whom chose not to give their last names, the weekend provided the potential for other endeavors. “We’re getting drunk. I’m smoking weed and getting drunk,” a clearly inebriated Nick M. said, before vulgarly indicating his desire to have sex. Both Nick M. and Anthony J. said the bars were especially keen on making a profit. They expressed frustration after Red Lion denied their readmittance even when they showed their stamped hands, a bar-issued symbol marking their initial admittance. “They (cheated) us with the stamps,” Anthony J. said, also plainly intoxicated. “I understand what they’re trying to do, but they were really stiff.” Sgt. Joe Ketchem of the Champaign Police Department said in an email that the police treat Greek Reunion as if it were a busy
weekend in which there was a home Illinois football game. “The crowds and patrons during this event seem to be older and somewhat less unruly,” Ketchem wrote. “We will obviously have a full staffing level of officers in the campus area for Greek Reunion. We are not, however, making any special plans.” Ketchem said a large contingent of people from out of town can lead to the possibility of an increase in DUI activity, medical calls and crime in general. “Negatives are obviously the increase in police calls for service and officers being tied up on calls related to the event,” Ketchem wrote. “The normal things will happen — probably a few more battery and criminal damage reports, etc. The event itself is good for the community economy as it provides a boost during the summer, which is usually the slow time on campus.” With over 100 fraternities and sororities, Illinois has the largest Greek community, per capita, in the nation with about 22 percent of undergraduates participating, according to the University’s admissions website. Michael Evans, an employee at Campus Liquors, said the liquor store anticipated an influx of customers over the weekend and acted accordingly, ordering extra amounts of specific products while dropping the prices on others in an attempt to increase sales. Evans said that larger amounts of Natural Light, a beer popular among the Greek community and college students as a whole because of its low cost, were ordered and that the prices of kegs of Pabst Blue Ribbon were dropped from $100 to $69.99. “There are a lot more people in town and a lot more business going back and forth

Lines were longer than usual outside The Clybourne and Firehaus on Saturday night for Greek Reunion, an event where members of University fraternities and sororities return to campus for a weekend during the summer. consistently,” Evans said. “On a regular day, we’d probably make about $2,500, but today we’ve probably made $4,000 — $5,000 tops.” Additionally, a waitress who works at Joe’s Brewery said the bar experienced triple the attendance of a typical summer weekend. Chellie Akuamoah, a junior majoring in consumer economics and finance, said Greek Reunion forced her to change plans during the weekend. “It’s been pretty rowdy,” Akuamoah said. “I’ll be staying clear of everything. It’s too much for me.”
Stephanie S., a recent Business graduate, and her boyfriend Sam, a marine who declined to give his last name, while waiting in a line at Joe’s that lasted nearly 20 minutes, announced that they were celebrating its one-year anniversary. The couple met in Joe’s beer garden. While they admitted the bar was not the most romantic of places, they said the added electricity Greek Reunion brings was “a lot crazier and more fun” than an average summer weekend. “It is pleasant and reminiscent of the past,” Sam said. “And we are going to have sex later tonight.”

The discovery of the Higgs-like boson to some physicists means the end of an era. The Higgs boson, named after theoretical physicist Peter Higgs, is the last missing piece of the Standard Model, which accounts for electromagnetic, weak and strong forces in the universe. But to University faculty who have been a part of the effort to identify the Higgs boson, discovering this final piece is only the start to understanding the universe. On July 4, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research based in Geneva, Switzerland, announced its finding of a particle resembling the Higgs boson. Furthermore, it may have identified the only unknown in the Standard Model: the mass of the Higgs boson, which comes to 126 GeV, or 133 times more massive than a proton. A particle of about 125 GeV was observed in two separate experiments. Since 1994, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has played a vital role in the manufacture of the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, detector used by CERN for data acqui-
sition, data analysis and further study in the ATLAS experiment. Professor Steve Errede and his wife, Deborah, joined the University in the 1990s when Congress shut down the Superconducting Super Collider, which was to be the world’s largest and most energetic particle accelerator. It was then when they began to build the Scintillating Tile Hadron Calorimeter, TileCal for short, for the ATLAS detector, hiring “an army” of undergraduate students, in physics and engineering primarily, to help assemble the massive structure. “One day, people showed up with 100 crates of steel unannounced, and we had to scramble to find a place for it. It worked out to 10 linear miles of steel covered in grease,” Steve Errede said. “Then there was the sanding it down and stacking it, and that took three years.” The installation of the calorimeter was an enormous undertaking, but sifting through the data and having the computing power to analyze the data was another matter entirely. Professor Mark Neubauer’s research developed the “trigger system” used in collecting and selectively recording data from the ATLAS

The University’s physics department faculty have been involved with the ATLAS experiment since 1994.
detector and also, in collaboration with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, or NCSA, launched the University’s Tier 2 computing center to process and share a portion of the 15 petabytes of data released by the LHC annually. Prior to working on the ATLAS experiment, the Neubauer lab was working at Fermilab’s Tevatron particle accelerator located just outside Batavia, Ill., before it was shut down in late 2011. Neubauer said the benefit was that the technology and advanced techniques that were developed at the Tevatron were ported over to the LHC. The issue, Neubauer said, was that significant data points could easily seem minute without using the right analytical methods. “It’s not like we produce a bunch of Higgs and then go in and collect them. We’re looking for a little blip of a signal,“ he said. “It’s not just like looking for a needle in a haystack. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack of needles.” Professor Tony Liss, who contributed his efforts to the muon system, which detects the states of decay of the Higgs boson, said it is very likely, however, that the identified particle may not be “the” Higgs boson but “a” Higgs boson. There are several models, which may predict several types of Higgs bosons, so the Standard Model may not necessarily be the right one. “What we’re trying to do is, at a very fundamental level, understand how the universe comes together and how it is today. This particle is absolutely fundamental,” Liss said. Liss took part in finding the top quark, another part of the Standard Model, about 15 years ago. The Higgs particle, however, is entirely different, he said. The Higgs boson, which is the quantum unit of the Higgs field, is what explains how certain particles acquire mass and, essentially, describes how it is that matter comes together and is not flung out into space. A good analogy, Neubauer described, of the effect of the Higgs field is a crowded party in a certain room, where each person represents a Higgs boson. Should a celebrity (another particle) walk into that room, however, people begin to crowd around that celebrity, slowing down how fast he or she can walk across the room. “The discovery of the Higgs is, to me, a ‘yes,’” Errede said. “This field that is hard to get your head around that exists everywhere, we’re all immersed in it. That’s new from a discovery perspective, it’s the true ‘aether’ of science.”

Vic McIntosh takes his seat after being elected to the District 3 seat of the Champaign City Council. McIntosh won the Council vote 5-3 over Tony Pomonis, owner of Merry-Ann’s Diner. The previous vote, which took place 3 weeks ago, was tied 4-4. City Council member Tom Bruno changed his vote, securing McIntosh’s spot in the council.
McIntosh wins city council seat BY RYAN WEBER MANAGING EDITOR
In a 5-3 vote , the Champaign City Council elected Vic McIntosh to fill the vacant District 3 seat Tuesday night at the weekly council meeting at the Champaign City Building, located at 102 N. Neil St. Previously, the council was tied 4-4 between Tony Pomonis, owner of Merry Ann’s Diner, and McIntosh, a former city council member, to replace former city councilman Kyle Harrison after his resignation, which took effect on June 15. Councilman Tom Bruno cast the deciding vote because until Tuesday, he had voted for Pomonis. Harrison left his position because he and his family moved out of his home in District 3 to a different Champaign home. McIntosh had served on the council for a decade until 2009 when he retired by not seeking a re-election. Because Harrison’s appointment had not expired, McIntosh will only have the seat until May 2013 when the next election will be held.

Comedian takes rape joke too far This year’s vote is
D
aniel Tosh, famed stand-up comedian and host of Comedy Central’s Tosh.0, caused a stir during a recent performance when a fan protested the nature of a string of jokes Tosh had made about rape. The fan protested when Tosh jokingly insisted rape jokes were always funny. Tosh replied to the protest by saying it would be funny if said audience member was raped right then. In the world of comedy, the proverbial line hasn’t been crossed — it has gone missing. Tosh’s show has been wildly popular among younger teenagers and carries a fairly large college-aged fan base as well. It has also become notorious for its racist and sexist quips. Tosh’s fame escalated because of this show and these crude and typically tasteless “jokes.” Assuming the best in Tosh, that he does not support sexual assault, leads us to surmise that he sold out on a legitimately skyrocketing comedy career to make rape jokes to 13 year olds. With his target audience at such an impressionable age, and possessing such an influential platform, Tosh has tragically misused his influence, granted to him in his weekly half-hour block.

Though his audience may have given him the idea that rape jokes are “never not funny,” a comedian of his stature and experience should know better. Tosh issued a pseudo-apology on his Twitter account, linking to the fan-written blog that relayed the incident. In offering a halfhearted apology, Tosh completely misses the point. He can either apologize and try to tiptoe the line more deftly next time, or he can stop directing offensive remarks at his audience that he doesn’t believe, hoping they keep their wits. His younger fans would lose a bad influence, his older fans could relax and not worry about being lambasted for traumatic events beyond their control, and perhaps he, hopefully, could help save his conscience from purporting jokes that are anything but funny.

live for beginnings simply because I anticipate the evolution to their ends. Five years ago, I started a new beginning and discovered a new identity. Today, the discoveries and revelations seem to come faster than assembly lines and hit me harder than the bus in “Mean Girls.” Yet sometimes I feel like I’m still waiting for my messiah; my liberator and annexationist from a lifestyle society has judged as “incorrect”. However, I can’t wait forever for reassurance that can only come from myself. Reassurance that since my youth has been an intangible but long awaited decision, which bears advancement, optimism and acceptance. My first vote. Personally, the upcoming election is more than just a trip to the voting booth and more than just a quadrennial political event. This is my first vote. However impractical it may sound or actually be, I feel as though I saved this vote. I wanted to save my vote for when I would be knowledgeable, passionate and motivated. Otherwise, does my vote really count? Technically my vote will be counted (perhaps not in Florida), but will it carry meaning? Call it greedy, but this election I’m voting for me. This election could provide me with the opportunity to marry the man I will fall in love with, to send my children to a school where our battle is written in textbooks and to finally climb toward a sense of egalitarianism. It is not often that Americans are provided with the opportunity to participate in an election with such societal and cultural importance. I can almost compare it to the apprehension behind the elections of former Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy: a segregated nation with the power to elect a president who had the capabilities to redeem and unify. Although I cannot attest to the hardships of the African-American community at that time, I can undoubtedly praise their efforts and henceforth learn.
Yet almost 60 years after the revolutionary Brown v. Board of Education decision in which school segregation was deemed unconstitutional, our nation stands at a similar standstill but with a different group. As somebody who isn’t a stalwart liberal or conservative, I find my political opinions to be a hodgepodge of red, green and blue. Then again, America just saw its first African-American President express another first for the country: support for gay rights. Some people view this open declaration as a political strategy and some simply want to see the “talk” turn into action. Regardless, we overlook that nine million lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender peoples now have their first ever presidential ally. We overlook that an unknown, yet predictably extensive number (due to anonymity) of people in the Marines, Army and Navy no longer will be persecuted by their government for preferences over honoring one’s country. More importantly, we overlook that a generation of youth will be the progressive leaders of this country. Progressive only if society emphasizes ideas of equality and tolerance that have for some time been pending with importance. After all, for a nation that has turned the word “progressive” into a cliche, we sure have been pretty lazy. I guess I was wrong when I said that I was being greedy in this election. Because in reality, I’m voting for equality and not just our next president. I’m voting for nine million people I barely know but have common goals and aspirations. Whether America is ready to embrace it, this is the residual battle that has been escalating since the black civil rights movement and women’s suffrage. We are just another movement halted by insecurities and misconceptions and waiting to be relieved by another one of society’s great leaders such as the civil rights movement’s Martin Luther King Jr. and women’s suffrage advocate Susan B. Anthony. As I have been holding onto my first vote like a lifeline on “Millionaire”, change is calling and I’m simply answering.

Olympic dream falls short Ruggeri’s future unknown following decision by Olympic Committee Editor’s note: This is the 10th and final part of a series highlighting Illinois gymnast Paul Ruggeri’s road to potentially qualifying for the 2012 London Olympic Games. Ruggeri was not named to the U.S. Olympic team. BY EMILY BAYCI STAFF WRITER
If you search for Paul Ruggeri on the Internet, the most recent news result which pops up is from July 1. A two-week activity drought may not seem significant, but when this former Illini gymnast has appeared in a news article nearly every day for approximately three months, it’s rather substantial. The most recent information available is one simple fact: Ruggeri, star gymnast on the Illinois national championship team, did not receive a spot on the U.S. Olympic men’s gymnastics team as one of the five athletes or three alternates. Ruggeri was one of many children who dreamed of being an Olympian. His dream began at the age of 7 and he dedicated 16 years of his life to that goal. While it was a long and all-encompassing journey, it essentially came down to one moment, a 10-minute meeting during the morning on Monday, July 1 when the roster was announced . “You had your ideas, you had it all plotted out in your head,” Ruggeri said. “But this was when it became real.”
“What are you supposed to do when you did everything you could and it just wasn’t good enough?”
—
Only 15 hours earlier, Ruggeri was relaxed, calm and confident. He was ready to celebrate the conclusion of the selection process, including the Visa Championships June 7-10 and Olympic Trials June 29-July 1. He said he performed at his highest potential, finishing sixth in the all-around with top-three finishes on high bar and floor. “I could never have imagined that I was going to come to trials and hit 12-for-12,” Ruggeri said on June 30. “It’s what I wanted to do and what I always work for, but that PAUL RUGGERI, it happened, it’s just surreal. Former Illinois gymnast “There’s guys in front of me who might fit in better for the make- up of the team,” he added. “But I think I proved worthy of an alternate spot.” He said then that it was all up to the selection committee, all he could do was sit back and pray.
— Ruggeri followed the six other grim-faced gymnasts out of the room after the team was announced, leaving the eight Olympians to celebrate. “It was really just like the two groups went in complete polar opposite directions,” Ruggeri said. He said he was the first athlete passed over, which stings. A lot. “What are you supposed to do when you did everything you could and it just wasn’t good enough?” he added. The first people he called were his parents, who already knew the news. They offered supportive advice, starting the chorus Ruggeri would hear constantly in the following days, weeks and months. “‘It was amazing to watch you,’ ‘You were the highlight of the competition,’ ‘You are going to do great things,’” people would tell him in a

RUGGERI FROM PAGE 10 phone call, text, or write on his Facebook wall. “‘I’m proud of you,’ ‘I was pulling for you,’ ‘You were robbed,’ ‘No matter what, you are amazing,’ ‘You are and always will be a champion,’” others preached. Ruggeri knew that he didn’t want to withdraw from the world and that it was only through the support of his family, friends and coaches that he could get through the heartbreaking defeat. “It means a lot to know that even when things don’t work out you have family and friends who will support you and help you,” Ruggeri said. He took a break from the support the first day, relaxing at a beach in Santa Cruz with the other gymnasts who didn’t make the team. That was only after an hour-long conversation with a sports psychologist, a man sent by USA Gymnastics “to clean up the mess they made,” Ruggeri said.
— It took a little while for Ruggeri to open up, as anyone could expect. He didn’t respond at all to requests for interviews the day he found out he didn’t receive a spot on the team. It took nearly a week and a half to get in contact with him, someone who is normally incredibly receptive to the media. He usually likes every supportive Facebook post he receives and this time he didn’t like any. He typically updates his Facebook or Twitter after his competition, but it took
13 nearly 27 hours after the announcement was made for him to post an Instagram update which read, “Thanks for all the words everyone. I am proud of myself I just didn’t fit into the team. Proud to have been there with my brothers @maestas26 and sender. #illinipride” It’s hard for Ruggeri to fi nd words to describe his experience. He’s slow with his word choices, sounding forced and diplomatic rather than letting loose. He throws unfortunate, upsetting, disappointing, unfair, life-changing, shocking, spark-setting and dramatic all out there but none of those do his feeling justice. “What do I call it, I don’t know I don’t have a word for it,” Ruggeri said. “What can I really say?” He’s still a representative for USA Gymnastics, and can represent the national team on international assignments until February. It’s important that he maintains his reputation as a poised and mature gymnast. “I feel sorry for all the people who don’t find something they’re passionate about,” Ruggeri said. “I am happier to have gone through all the highs and lows than to never have a passion in life.”
— The sudden free time redefined Ruggeri’s summer. There is no during or after the Olympics for him. He won’t have any commitments of post-games tours, media appearances, or celebrations, engagements he made sure to leave his summer free for. Ruggeri took a week-long break from Champaign, life and gymnastics and drove to North Carolina to vacation on a lake. He continued home to New York to visit with
his family — simple pleasures he never had much time for. He tries not to think too much about everything, but he can’t help it. Ruggeri decided not to answer if he would do anything differently if he could go back in time. He declined to say if he would watch the Olympics or not. He hesitated to reply on what he felt about the selection process. “I want to look back and either see that I tried my best and made it or that I tried my best and didn’t make it,” Ruggeri said last October. “I need to put it all out there.” But he says he has no regrets, that he put it all out there, tried his best and didn’t make it. “I do think about it because it is a pretty big disappointment,” Ruggeri said. “I worked my whole life for this goal and to come up short it’s going to be hard to deal with, but I’m going to be fine. I just have to be successful in a different way.”
— Now there’s the question of the future, where Ruggeri is at a loss, though the necessity of a decision looms in front of him. He graduated in May from Illinois with a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology, his athletic eligibility expired. He could keep training in Champaign or move to the Olympic Training Center or train at a gym in New York, all the while advancing his education or working. He might give up gymnastics altogether and go to graduate school, or join Cirque Du Soleli or get a real job. “I’ve been to a lot of places, I’ve been successful in competitions,” Ruggeri said. “I don’t know how much else there is to accomplish in gymnastics.”
July 16-22, 2012
“I don’t know how much more there is for me to do, especially with this team, this group of gymnasts,” he added. “It’s hard for me to stand out because there are other people who are capable of keeping up with me.” He used to joke with his dad about gymnasts who were to old to train. They laughed about it then, saying Ruggeri would have moved on to something better. Now the idea seems less-than-crazy, although the next Olympics is a long ways away. He’ll be 27 then, which isn’t ancient for a gymnast, but much older than the norm. There’s competitions in the meantime, like individual world championships this fall and team world championships next year. “I’m not looking to quit right now,” Ruggeri said, becoming fired up when he discusses the newfound motivation from everybody who didn’t make the team. “You know what, those guys on the national team better watch out because all those people that didn’t make it, they’re going to continue training and they’re pretty lit up.” Ten days after his crushing rejection, Ruggeri returned to the gym. It felt right for him to go back because despite everything, that is where he feels at home. He went in and had fun, he played on the women’s vault and the balance beam and he did some floor work, cardio and conditioning. He’s not looking to get out of shape right now because he knows that time away could cost him. The search results may diminish and his time in the limelight may have passed, but that won’t stop Ruggeri. “I always thought my big success was going to be the Olympics,” Ruggeri said. “Now it will have to be something else.”

Bridge between sports, TV: industry ‘breaks bad’ JEFF KIRSHMAN Copy chief
T
he fifth season of “Breaking Bad”, quite possibly the best show on TV, premiered Sunday and reignited the criminal mastermind synapsis in my brain in a way only playing Grand Theft Auto can. But this is a sports column, however, and thus will be dedicated to discussing how “Breaking Bad” relates to the industry of sports. The following are comparisons to BB characters and real people in the sports world.
Walter White: LeBron James We first meet Walt as a pathetic-yetendearing, tighty-whitey wearing high school chemistry teacher who learns he has inoperable lung cancer and thus begins cooking meth to secure his family’s financial future. Just like LeBron, right? As with this entire exercise, the comparison is a bit of a stretch, but there are parallels. Both Walt and LeBron were thought of in a positive light when they were introduced to the public’s eye, but over time they soon, well, broke bad. Walt made the conscious decision to engage in a criminal enterprise, making one immoral decision after another. LeBron ditched his hometown team in Cleveland to become a bad guy in Miami. Both have gigantic egos, and both have made decisions — Walt’s obviously much worse — that they’ll never be able to take back.
Jesse Pinkman: Mike Vick Both Pinkman and Vick appear to be people who are good at heart that unfortunately
got caught up in the wrong crowd. Vick was raised in an environment in which dog fighting was not considered as heinous of an act as it actually is. And if you had friends like Badger and Skinny Pete, you’d be more concerned about the legitimacy of Nazi zombies rather than making something out of your life, too.
Gus by doing work with a boxcutter.
Skyler White: Reche Caldwell
Marie Schrader: Rickey Henderson
No one in the NFL looks as perpetually scared on the football field as the former Patriots wide receiver (Google image him and you’ll see what I mean). Grantland recently proposed some fake gambling bets, and one of them was how many times Skyler asks Walt, “Are you/we in danger?” They set the over/under at 47.5 times, and I’m taking the over by a landslide. Votes also went to Sasha Vujacic due to the fact that both the former Lakers big man and Skyler are annoying wet blankets.
Get it? They both like to steal. Let’s move on.
Gustavo Fring: Bill Belichick Both Belichick and Gus are nightmares to game plan against, and you know they’re always thinking three or four steps ahead. They are the kingpins of their organizations and possess the ability to make do, even if the pieces they have to work with are less than ideal. Belichick continually signs players the rest of the NFL left for dead, such as Corey Dillon and Randy Moss, and turns them into difference makers; Gus literally leaves people left for dead, replacing them with people he otherwise has no use for. Belichick switching Troy Brown from wide receiver to cornerback is to Gus opting to turn Jesse into an errand boy rather than ordering his execution. Both are also ruthless when it comes to losing dead weight — Belichick doing so by heartlessly cutting players and
Hank Schrader: Brian Mitchell Mitchell was in charge of the Mitchell Report and finding how many MLB players had used steroids, while Hank is in search of the elusive Heisenberg.
Saul Goodman: Scott Boras Saul and Boras both take the sleazy usedcar salesman approach to their respective crafts. Boras attaches himself to the superstar players, ensuring that the rich get even richer, while Saul has no problem flip-flopping to whomever holds the power. One minute he’s with Jesse, the next he’s with Walt. And with players like Alex Rodriguez and other big hitters of the late ‘90s and early 2000s, something tells me Boras has helped his clients deal with criminal activity involving illegal drugs from time to time.
Mike: Derek Jeter The consummate professional, Mike isn’t necessarily one of the good guys, but you can’t help but respect his ability to get the job done on a consistent basis. Jeter doesn’t have an adorable daughter whom he presents with balloons (as far as we know), but both Mike and Jeter are both well-respected despite their ties to the forces of evil (Gus and the Yankees, respectively).

London’s Olympic security fail under scrutiny BY RAPHAEL SATTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Britain’s Olympic security plans fell under fresh scrutiny Sunday, with a newspaper reporting that several people on a terror watch list have been waved through airport border controls without being flagged and officials trying to calm the uproar over a security contractor’s failure to provide its promised number of staff. The Observer newspaper’s report is the latest in a series of last-minute concerns to surface as London gets ready to host the Olympic Games from July 27 to Aug. 12. The paper said that, since the start of the month, immigration staff at London’s Heathrow Airport had missed several people on a security watch list whose arrival in the country was meant to have been reported to counter-terrorism police or Britain’s domestic intelligence service. The newspaper cited unions as suggesting that staff brought in to help relieve the pressure at Heathrow, which has faced recurring problems handling large influxes of passengers, weren’t being properly trained. The airport, Europe’s busiest, has recently struggled to clear huge lines that build up at immigration checkpoints during peak times, leading to fears of Olympics-related chaos as tourists fly in to watch the games. The report left it unclear whether the people on the watch
list were still in the country, whether they were intercepted later, or exactly why they had attracted the attention of counter-terrorism officials in the first place. Britain’s Home Office declined to comment Sunday on the Observer story. British authorities already are under pressure over the failure of security contractor G4S to deliver some 10,400 personnel to protect stadiums and other events. The blunder has forced the government to call in an extra 3,500 troops to guard the games — that’s over and above the 7,500 troops already promised to help out at some 100 venues and sensitive sites. The Independent on Sunday newspaper reported that top Home Office officials had been warned by police nearly a year ago about concerns over the ability of G4S to provide enough staff for the Olympic Games, while the BBC quoted the chief of Britain’s National Association of Retired Police Officers as saying that his group could have helped fill the shortfall in manpower — if only G4S had bothered getting in touch. “With enough notice we could have provided a significant number (of retired officers),” he told the BBC. “They have made no effort to do that.” The British minister in charge of the Olympics appeared on a talk show Sunday to try to contain the scandal — noting that G4S boss Nick Buckles had apologized and would be footing the bill for the last-minute military deployment
— as well as up to 20 million pounds ($31 million) for failing to live up to his company’s end of the deal. “I don’t think this is a moment for getting into the blame game actually,” Hunt told the BBC’s “Andrew Marr Show.” ‘’G4S has been quite honorable. They put their hands up. Nick Buckles, their chief executive, has said they got it wrong. They’ve apologized. They’re going to cover all the costs.” Hunt insisted that the government realized only last week that G4s would not be able to meet its targets and that it immediately activated its contingency plans. “I think it’s completely normal that you’re going to find some contractors on a project of this size who aren’t able to deliver what they’ve promised,” he said, stressing that security for the games would not be compromised. “We have contingency plans for all eventualities.” London organizing chairman Sebastian Coe seemed to express sympathy with G4S, saying that “the reality is that it was only when the rubber hit the road that we were able to see, as G4S identified, a gap,” he told BBC radio. In a separate interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Buckles said he had considered resigning over the blunder — although he didn’t seem in any hurry to go. “I want to stay,” he told the newspaper, after admitting that the failure had been a “big setback” for the company. “I am very committed to staying. It just depends, doesn’t it?”

Cubs sweep Diamondbacks, win last 12 of 16 games THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — The starting rotation is on a roll and the question is whether the Chicago Cubs can keep it going. Matt Garza threw seven shutout innings and Darwin Barney homered to lift the Chicago Cubs to a three-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 3-1 win Sunday. Garza’s outing was his best since late April and continued a five-game stretch during which Chicago’s pitchers have posted a 1.23 ERA. “I felt good today,” Garza said. “I was able to stay in my mechanics today, and when I didn’t I was able to catch myself and adjust quick.” Barney clubbed a Trevor Cahill pitch into the left-field bleachers for a two-run homer in the second inning to help Chicago match a season high with its fourth straight win. “It’s not my approach but you’ve got to make adjustments at this level,” Barney said. “Two strikes, I’m looking to hit the ball the other way toward second, but luckily I ran into something.” Garza (5-7) held Arizona to five hits and one walk, striking out seven en route to his first win in July. He’s allowed three earned runs or fewer in his last 18 starts at Wrigley Field. “Who knows why certain people pitch better in certain ballparks, pitch better at home than on the road?” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “He’s been pretty outstanding at home, there’s no doubt about it.” Carlos Marmol got the last two outs for his 10th save. He allowed a pair of baserunners, but struck out Geoff Blum and got Gerardo Parra on a comebacker to end it. Cahill (7-8) allowed three runs on four hits over 5 1/3 innings, los-
ing for the third time in his last four decisions. Aaron Hill hit his 12th homer in the eighth and reached base three times to pace the struggling Arizona offense. “When you’re not hitting, it magnifies things,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. “The story of the series was our lack of offense and inconsistency.” Barney’s homer was his fourth of the season, doubling his total from 2011. He reported to spring training this year with a bulkier physique in response to last season, when he wore down. “Losing 20 pounds last year, that was hard. It’s hard on your body,” Barney said. “I’ve done a decent job of maintaining this year. It just gives you more energy.” Barney added a sparkling play up the middle on Gerardo Parra’s grounder to end the Arizona seventh and extended his errorless streak at second base to 75 games. “Like I said before, there’s nobody that’s been better at second base than he has,” Sveum said. Rookie Anthony Rizzo singled up the right-field line to score David DeJesus in the first. Rizzo is hitting .356 with 10 RBIs in 15 games since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa. “When we brought up the kid, it was real exciting,” Garza said. “Real exciting. Putting his presence in the lineup, you see what happens.” The streaking Cubs have won 12 of their last 16 games since June 25, the best record in baseball over that span. Chicago outscored Arizona 15-3 in the series. Nevertheless, Chicago has had to deal with rumors about the team being broken up through trades. “You think about that a lot,” Sveum

Chicago Cubs’ Darwin Barney rounds the bases after hitting a two-run home run during the second inning of a baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Chicago on Sunday. said. “You don’t dwell on it, but just to be having a streak like this and win a lot of ballgames, you don’t want to lose pieces to that puzzle.” Garza and fellow starter Ryan Dempster in particular have been the subject of ubiquitous trade rumors.
With scouts of several teams in attendance Sunday, Garza was in control throughout, allowing more than one baserunner in just two of his seven innings. Garza said he has a good reason to ignore trade scuttlebutt. “I’ve got a wife who is due in about
23 days, so the rumor mill can wait,” Garza said. “That’s the last thing on my mind right now. I’ve got a wife who is just ready to pop.” As for the trade rumors, Barney — another name that has cropped up — echoed Garza’s sentiment that he’s content to stay put.
Chicago White Sox win rubber match against Royals THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLIN WAGNER THE ASSOICATED PRESS
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale delivers to the Kansas City Royals’ Lorenzo Cain during the fourth inning of a baseball game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday. The White Sox won 2-1.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chris Sale was short of his All-Star best. He was still good enough to win his eighth straight decision. Adam Dunn homered in his third straight game and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 Sunday. Sale (11-2) is 8-0 with two no-decisions since a May 12 loss to the Royals. He allowed one run and scattered a season-high 10 hits in eight innings to lower his earned run average to 2.11, which ranks second in the American League. He struck out four and walked none. “Obviously, a lot of hits,” Sale said. “You just try to brush that off and keep going about what you need to do and have that mindset and go out and still make pitches.” Sale, who is from Florida, liked the 94 degree temperature for the first pitch.
“I’ve always said I like pitching in warm weather way better than cold. It’s definitely nice to have some heat out there today.” Sale threw 115 pitches, but manager Robin Ventura had no qualms about sending him out for the eighth inning. “It was his game,” Ventura said. “He finds a way to get himself into trouble and out of trouble, too.” Dunn, who leads the league with 28 home runs, drilled a 2-0 pitch from Luis Mendoza (3-6) just inside the right-field pole in the first inning. Dunn has 65 hits overall this season, meaning 43 percent of them have been home runs. “On 2-0, I was geared up for a fastball and it was a changeup,” Dunn said. “I just caught it out in front. I don’t hit many of those line-drive home runs. I could have easily hooked it foul. That was obviously a positive thing. That’s what we’ve been working on all spring to stay inside of it.”
Addison Reed, who blew a save Friday, worked a scoreless ninth for his 14th save in 16 opportunities. The White Sox loaded the bases with no outs in the second when Alex Rios singled, A.J. Pierzynski was hit by a pitch and Dayan Viciedo hit an infield single. They converted that into just one run when Rios scored as Alexei Ramirez grounded into a double play. Mendoza threw but seven pitches to five batters that inning. Mendoza allowed just one hit after the second inning, but took the loss. He gave up two runs on four hits in 7 1/3 innings, while striking out six and walking four. The Royals avoided a shutout when Mike Moustakas, who led off the fifth with a single and advanced to second on a Sale wild pitch, scored on a Chris Getz single. The Royals went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position against Sale.

RUGGERI FROM PAGE 10 phone call, text, or write on his Facebook wall. “‘I’m proud of you,’ ‘I was pulling for you,’ ‘You were robbed,’ ‘No matter what, you are amazing,’ ‘You are and always will be a champion,’” others preached. Ruggeri knew that he didn’t want to withdraw from the world and that it was only through the support of his family, friends and coaches that he could get through the heartbreaking defeat. “It means a lot to know that even when things don’t work out you have family and friends who will support you and help you,” Ruggeri said. He took a break from the support the first day, relaxing at a beach in Santa Cruz with the other gymnasts who didn’t make the team. That was only after an hour-long conversation with a sports psychologist, a man sent by USA Gymnastics “to clean up the mess they made,” Ruggeri said.
— It took a little while for Ruggeri to open up, as anyone could expect. He didn’t respond at all to requests for interviews the day he found out he didn’t receive a spot on the team. It took nearly a week and a half to get in contact with him, someone who is normally incredibly receptive to the media. He usually likes every supportive Facebook post he receives and this time he didn’t like any. He typically updates his Facebook or Twitter after his competition, but it took
13 nearly 27 hours after the announcement was made for him to post an Instagram update which read, “Thanks for all the words everyone. I am proud of myself I just didn’t fit into the team. Proud to have been there with my brothers @maestas26 and sender. #illinipride” It’s hard for Ruggeri to fi nd words to describe his experience. He’s slow with his word choices, sounding forced and diplomatic rather than letting loose. He throws unfortunate, upsetting, disappointing, unfair, life-changing, shocking, spark-setting and dramatic all out there but none of those do his feeling justice. “What do I call it, I don’t know I don’t have a word for it,” Ruggeri said. “What can I really say?” He’s still a representative for USA Gymnastics, and can represent the national team on international assignments until February. It’s important that he maintains his reputation as a poised and mature gymnast. “I feel sorry for all the people who don’t find something they’re passionate about,” Ruggeri said. “I am happier to have gone through all the highs and lows than to never have a passion in life.”
— The sudden free time redefined Ruggeri’s summer. There is no during or after the Olympics for him. He won’t have any commitments of post-games tours, media appearances, or celebrations, engagements he made sure to leave his summer free for. Ruggeri took a week-long break from Champaign, life and gymnastics and drove to North Carolina to vacation on a lake. He continued home to New York to visit with
his family — simple pleasures he never had much time for. He tries not to think too much about everything, but he can’t help it. Ruggeri decided not to answer if he would do anything differently if he could go back in time. He declined to say if he would watch the Olympics or not. He hesitated to reply on what he felt about the selection process. “I want to look back and either see that I tried my best and made it or that I tried my best and didn’t make it,” Ruggeri said last October. “I need to put it all out there.” But he says he has no regrets, that he put it all out there, tried his best and didn’t make it. “I do think about it because it is a pretty big disappointment,” Ruggeri said. “I worked my whole life for this goal and to come up short it’s going to be hard to deal with, but I’m going to be fine. I just have to be successful in a different way.”
— Now there’s the question of the future, where Ruggeri is at a loss, though the necessity of a decision looms in front of him. He graduated in May from Illinois with a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology, his athletic eligibility expired. He could keep training in Champaign or move to the Olympic Training Center or train at a gym in New York, all the while advancing his education or working. He might give up gymnastics altogether and go to graduate school, or join Cirque Du Soleli or get a real job. “I’ve been to a lot of places, I’ve been successful in competitions,” Ruggeri said. “I don’t know how much else there is to accomplish in gymnastics.”
July 16-22, 2012
“I don’t know how much more there is for me to do, especially with this team, this group of gymnasts,” he added. “It’s hard for me to stand out because there are other people who are capable of keeping up with me.” He used to joke with his dad about gymnasts who were to old to train. They laughed about it then, saying Ruggeri would have moved on to something better. Now the idea seems less-than-crazy, although the next Olympics is a long ways away. He’ll be 27 then, which isn’t ancient for a gymnast, but much older than the norm. There’s competitions in the meantime, like individual world championships this fall and team world championships next year. “I’m not looking to quit right now,” Ruggeri said, becoming fired up when he discusses the newfound motivation from everybody who didn’t make the team. “You know what, those guys on the national team better watch out because all those people that didn’t make it, they’re going to continue training and they’re pretty lit up.” Ten days after his crushing rejection, Ruggeri returned to the gym. It felt right for him to go back because despite everything, that is where he feels at home. He went in and had fun, he played on the women’s vault and the balance beam and he did some floor work, cardio and conditioning. He’s not looking to get out of shape right now because he knows that time away could cost him. The search results may diminish and his time in the limelight may have passed, but that won’t stop Ruggeri. “I always thought my big success was going to be the Olympics,” Ruggeri said. “Now it will have to be something else.”
