Thursday, Tranel warned the admissions committee not to accept Holmes. Iowa psychology professor Mark Blumberg also interviewed Holmes and agreed with Tranel in an email sent two days later. Neither he nor Blumberg provided any further explanation. In contrast, neuroscience faculty members at Illinois such as Beverly thought Holmes was an “excellent match” for the program, which accepted less than 10 percent of about 150 applicants that year, said Sam Beshers, neuroscience program coordinator. Holmes declined the acceptance a day later in an email sent to Beshers. “Thank you for offering me a position in the Neuroscience Program at UIUC but unfortunately I will not be accepting your offer of admission,” he wrote.\ “My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

In Holmes’ application to Iowa, he spoke about his interest in cognitive neuroscience. He specifically referenced his work as a camp counselor, which included mentoring children with mental disorders. “These kids were heavily medicated but this did not solve their problems, only create new ones,” he wrote in an application letter. “The medication

Illinois alumni key to NASA’s Curiosity mission to Mars BY THOMAS THOREN DAYTIME ASSISTANT EDITOR
After graduating, University alumni spread out across the state, country and globe. But now, some have even gone as far as Mars. Before NASA’s Curiosity rover took a single picture of the red planet, Lynn McGrew, fl ight dynamics engineer at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston and graduate of the 2000 undergraduate aerospace engineering program, was offering a helping hand in the mission. McGrew created the algorithm that helped Curiosity “to very precisely target its landing site on Mars,” she said. The algorithm helped Curiosity’s landing to be more exact than previous Mars landings, and enabled NASA to land the rover at the base of a mountain inside a crater. Curiosity, which is part of the Mars Science Laboratory mission, benefitted from the work of another aerospace engineering alumnus, Evgeniy Sklyanskiy. Sklyanskiy, a graduate of the 2001 undergraduate and 2004 graduate aerospace engineering and applied mathematics programs, was a mission designer for the Surface Guidance Navigation and Control team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. He also helped Curiosity make its journey from Earth to Mars by testing some of the fl ight hardware. His contributions included testing the algorithms and software implementation, which allowed the high-gain antennae communicate with NASA and the gyrocompass to compute Curiosity’s location and status. He also helped develop two pairs of navigation cameras, which can locate the rover’s position based on the Sun’s position in the sky. The information gathered by Skly-

Program gives prisoners means to shape themselves through art STAFF WRITER
Champaign-Urbana residents should use caution this weekend while traveling as a result of Hurricane Isaac. “The National Weather Service is predicting that the remnants of Hurricane Isaac could drop as much as 10 inches of rain on the Champaign-Urbana area,” wrote Phyllis Wise, chancellor and vice president, in a Massmail. In the same email, she advised the University community to exercise caution while traveling around campus. With safety in mind, Wise said athletic events this weekend may be rescheduled. The chancellor encouraged students to sign up for Illini-Alerts to receive emergency notifications from the University.

Exhibit displays expressive art made by inmates BY KLAUDIA DUKALA
DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

MICHAEL BOJDA THE DAILY ILLINI
Marianna Nadeu, far, and Roma Rofes Herrera, both graduate students, discuss a piece of art at the University YMCA Thursday night. The exhibition featured artwork from incarcerated individuals at the Danville Correctional Center.
The artwork curved along three walls within Murphy Gallery: framed works, sketches, even oil paintings on canvas. But no artists were present. Instead, a binder tucked into a corner of the room served as the surrogate for the artists who spent that Thursday night in their communal home, the Danville Correctional Center. The exhibition, held at the University YMCA, served as the opening ceremony for an art exhibit devoted to the creative minds of inmates. One oil painting, “Candy,” shows a lovingly detailed clutch of chocolate-covered candies and strawberries. A single, incongruous bumble-bee hovers above one of the treats. And although the painting’s artist, W.B. May, was not present at the gallery, his words were: “My choice of using art as a means of expression wasn’t a hard one,” he wrote in the binder, which contained the voices of many more artists missing from the exhibit. Greg Watson, recently retired from the Illinois Department of Corrections, said the Danville Correctional Center allows prisoners to get involved

CURIOSITY FROM PAGE 1A anskiy and his group is fed to another University alumnus, Scott Maxwell, a 1994 graduate of the computer science graduate program. Maxwell is one of many rover drivers for Curiosity, but his job is much more complex than a few simple fl icks of a joystick. Because there is anywhere from a four-minute to 20-minute interaction delay between the time a command is sent from Earth to when it is received on Mars, Maxwell said it is impractical to control Curiosity as it traverses the Martian terrain. Instead, Maxwell and the other rover drivers send Curiosity an entire day’s worth of movements in the morning, and the rover is essentially on its own for the rest of the Martian day until it stops to sleep for the night. Maxwell said that in creating an entire day’s movements, he must also account for any potential problems and have pre-programmed responses for all of them. After Curiosity has spent the day moving around Mars taking pictures and collecting samples, it sends back the day’s data and goes to sleep in order to stay warm enough to make it through the cold night. Maxwell said NASA also occasionally receives additional data transmissions in the middle of the night and again in the morning. These three University alumni all work on different aspects of Curiosity and at various locations across the U.S., but they all spent time developing their skills at the University. All three admitted the diffi -
INMATE ART FROM PAGE 1A which pushed them to think in new ways. “(The committee) designed the fliers asking men to contribute art,” she said. “They decided on the selection criteria and selected the pieces, ran the meeting for the artists who’d been selected and wrote pieces for the catalogue.” In the bound catalogues, many of the artists described how art alleviates the pains of routine life. Others discuss art as an opportunity to redefi ne themselves as individuals, instead of as prisoners. Isaac Douglas Sr., an inmate whose artwork is featured in the exhibit, wrote in the catalogue that since his incarceration, art has become his passion. “I plan to go to art school in the future and broaden my skills,” he wrote. “I was blessed with a sketch pad and I draw every chance I get.” Douglas’ artwork made a large impression on Kristopher Scharringhausen-Long, junior in LAS, who visited the exhibit with a friend.

culty of their educations, but they all said it was beneficial for them as they moved onto their careers. In her senior design project, McGrew designed a communications system that could track multiple orbiters and rovers around Mars that “really pretty closely emulated” the work she now does on the Curiosity project. Sklyanskiy said his “very intense” engineering curriculum taught him time management, group coordination and communication skills, as well as the stamina and basic technical knowledge that is needed in his career. Maxwell said his education in supercomputing and parallel programming was “a particularly useful skill” because it helped him to be ahead of the curve. Twenty years ago, multicore processors were not as commonplace as they are today, where they are found everywhere from the fastest computers to many cellphones. “(The University) was a great opportunity for me to really improve my education,” he said. “There were a lot of great opportunities.” Though the three University alumni have come and gone, they all said they still expect the University, in addition to all universities, to continue inspiring students to take an interest in space exploration. “(Curiosity) really helped to reignite some interest in NASA and space,” McGrew said. She added that she hopes it will give both students and all Americans “a sense of the future” for space exploration
ILLINOIS STUDENT SENATE
ISS focuses on inclusion in new year BY CORINNE RUFF STAFF WRITER
As the Illinois Student Senate embarks on a new year, the focus this semester will be how they can better help the student body, senators said. “The biggest challenge we will face this year is our loss of a core of dedicated senators,” said Ryan Young, vice presidentexternal. “However, what we have lost in institutional knowledge we have made up for in enthusiasm, which has just as many positives.” Senators said this year they will strive for the inclusion of
by Douglass called “In the Shadow,” which featured a dark graphite drawing of a man smiling. “What caught my eye about this drawing was the artist’s transition from lightness to darkness,” he said. “It’s amazing what these artists can create with such limited materials.” At the opening ceremony, Ginsburg said inmates don’t want to be seen so negatively. She said they want society to understand that people can change and that art has helped shape them as individuals who are progressing toward a brighter future. “I’ve been honored to be part of a project that serves people in so many ways they find meaningful and fulfi lling and that benefits society as well,” she said. “We think it’s very important to have a good understanding of what the benefits of our programs are and what aspects of the programs actually produce those benefits.” EJP is currently conducting an evaluation of the program that will help it better understand the program’s impact on its students. The results of this evaluation will be released in mid-October.

La. evacuations, rescues continue as Isaac weakens NEW ORLEANS — Isaac hovered over Louisiana for a third day Thursday, shedding more than a foot of additional rain that forced authorities to hurriedly evacuate areas ahead of the storm and rescue hundreds of people who could not escape as the rapidly rising waters swallowed entire neighborhoods. The huge spiral weather system weakened to a tropical depression as it crawled inland, but it caught many places off guard by following a meandering, unpredictable path. The storm’s excruciatingly slow movement meant that Isaac practically parked over lowlying towns and threw off great sheets of water for hours. “I was blindsided. Nobody expected this,” said Richard Musatchia , who fled his waterfi lled home in LaPlace, northwest of New Orleans. Inside the fortified levees that protected New Orleans, bursts of sunshine streamed through the thick clouds, and life began to return to normal. But beyond the city, peo-
“No progress on this subject has been made yet. At this time, we need more conversation with the students and with the faculty on the topic before we can go forward,” said Renée Romano, vice chancellor for student affairs. “We want to make sure that our rules on academic integrity are up to speed with respect to the internet and all the changes that have taken place with technology over the years.” Recently elected student body president Brock Gebhardt said the executive board is ready for the new year. “In the new year, we will have
a class of just-elected student senators that all have previous experience,” he said. “I feel a sense of duty being elected to represent and work hard for over 43,000 students.” This week was the senate’s first general meeting. Young said he was “absolutely amazed” by the high number of senators present. “I’m really hoping we will maintain this attendance so will can serve the student body well,” he said.

voices from student organizations on campus. “Communication is our focus. We have to go out and talk to constituents more and really listen and implement their ideas and concerns,” Young said. “It is most important to know that if anyone wants to share concerns with the senate, they are more than welcome to come to our meetings.” One issue that senators are looking to address is the endorsement of changes to academic integrity policies on campus, which surfaced following a cheating incident involving Facebook last semester.

ple got their fi rst good look at Isaac’s damage: Hundreds of homes were underwater. Half the state was without power. Thousands were staying at shelters. And the damage may not be done. Even more rain was expected in Louisiana before the storm fi nally drifts into Arkansas and Missouri. Isaac dumped as much as 16 inches in some areas, and about 500 people had to be rescued by boat or high-water vehicles. At least two deaths were reported. Five feet of water poured into Musatchia’s home before a neighbor passed by with a boat and evacuated him and his 6-year-old boxer, Renny. He piled two suitcases, a backpack and a few smaller bags onto the boat and said that was all he had left. He abandoned a brand-new Cadillac and a Harley-Davidson. “People have their generators, because they thought the power would go out, but no one expected” so much water, Musatchia said. Other evacuees were picked up by National Guard vehicles, school buses and pickup trucks.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Dozens of Harvard University students are being investigated for cheating after school offi cials discovered they may have shared answers or plagiarized on a fi nal exam. Harvard officials declined to release the name of the class, the students’ names or the exact number being investigated, citing privacy laws. The undergraduate class had a minimum of 250 students and possible cheating was discovered in roughly half of the takehome exams, university officials said Thursday. “These allegations, if proven, represent totally unacceptable behavior that betrays the trust upon which intellectual inquiry at Harvard depends,” President
Drew Faust said. Each student whose work is in question has been called to appear before a subcommittee of the Harvard College Administrative Board, which reviews issues of academic integrity, said Jay M. Harris , dean of undergraduate Education. He emphasized that none of the allegations has been proven and said there’s no evidence of widespread cheating at Harvard. “The facts that are before us are that we have a problem in this one course,” Harris said. “I hope that doesn’t sound overly naive, I don’t want to be naive, but this is what we have. The rest would be speculation. “Looking at the students we have and the work that they do, I would be loathe to say this is something that represents Harvard students generally.”
The spring course included undergraduates at all class levels, Harris said. A teaching assistant noticed some possible problems on the tests, including evidence that students collaborated on answers or used the same long, identical strings of words. The exam had clear instructions that no collaboration was allowed, Harris said. The assistant notified the professor, who referred the case in May to the administrative board. After interviewing some students, the board found what Harris characterized as “cause for concern.” Depending on the offense, the punishments range from an admonition, a sort of warning for a fi rst offense, to being forced to withdraw from Harvard for a year. It wasn’t imme-
diately clear what sanctions any student who has graduated may face. There’s no timeline for when the investigation will be fi nished, Harris said. “We believe in due process for students and fairness,” he said. “Everyone wants it done yesterday, but we have to be patient. It’s going to take as long as it takes.” A Harvard spokesman said he knows of no incidents in recent memory of possible cheating at the university on this scale. Michael Zimmet, a freshman from Aspen, Colo., said news of the investigation “was really surprising.” “You think of Harvard as somewhere where people are academically honest and interested in their course work,” he said.

I wanted to help them but couldn’t.” He outlined the same goals in his application to Illinois. “These fascinations likely stemmed from my interest in puzzles and paradoxes as an adolescent and continued through my curiosity in academic research,” Holmes wrote in his Illinois application. On his Iowa application, Holmes listed that he also applied to Texas A&M, Kansas University, the University of Michigan, the University of Alabama and the University of Colorado, leaving off Illinois. He later chose to attend the University of Colorado’s neuroscience program but was in the process of withdrawing when the shooting occurred. Presiding Judge William Sylvester has sealed Holmes’ academic records, according to a statement released by the school.

Recent legal decision in Apple v. Samsung limits marketplace competition and hurts consumers
T
he Apple v. Samsung verdict was a big win for Apple, but it was a loss for consumers. During the trial, Apple argued that Samsung had violated several of its patents, including those covering the iPhone’s design, rounded-square icons and “pinch to zoom” technology. In his closing arguments, Apple attorney Harold McElhinny pointed to documents he said showed Samsung’s panic after the iPhone came out, according to The Verge. McElhinny said Samsung officials met with Google officials, who said Samsung phones were too similar in design to Apple’s, but Samsung officials did not change the design. Lawyers for Samsung disagreed and said design for Samsung phones predated the release of the iPhone. Samsung attorney Charles Verhoeven said: “Your (the judge’s) decision, if you go Apple’s way, could change the way competition worse in this country ... Rather than competing in the marketplace, Apple is seeking a competitive edge in the courtroom,” according to CNET. The jury agreed with Apple and said Samsung violated six patents. Samsung said it would appeal and criticized the decision, saying it would decrease competition in the market and be worse for the average consumer. According to Businessweek, Apple on Monday listed eight Samsung smartphones it wants banned in the United States: Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2 AT&T, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S2 T-Mobile, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, Galaxy S Showcase, Droid Charge and Galaxy Prevail. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh had already banned the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and said it violated a design patent. The patents violated by Samsung, according to the jury from the case, ranged from software, to aesthetics, to outer shell design. Apple’s double-tapto-zoom function when viewing documents worked similarly to Samsung models. Additionally, the “bounce-back” feature that happens when users scroll beyond the edge of a page was mimicked. The third feature copied from Apple by Samsung, was the ability of Apple products to read multi-fi nger touches; previously devices could only read single-touch commands. The icons on several Samsung phones, most notably the phone and clock buttons, were both similar in shape and design. Apple had patented the overall shape of earlier generations of the iPhone, most notably the rounded back of the white iPhone. Lastly, the iPhone’s black colored, rounded-edged, square design had protection under Apple’s patents. The consequences of this landmark verdict are numerous and many future innovations in the way of smart phones, not to mention consumer choices, are sure to be affected by this decision. Though not the explicit point, the most immediate and literal translation of the trial will mean that smart phones and tablet computers will need to start looking different to avoid backlash from Apple. But thinking honestly and practically, how many ways can a phone look? A rectangular phone with rounded edges is ergonomic and utilitarian. It fits into hands and slips into pockets. Any other shape would be senseless and any other edge seems to be going backward. True, as simple as the design protected may be, it is the property of Apple. But because Apple was able to win out as it did, consumers will probably see less product design crossover, meaning fewer cheaper models of products. The other five patent violations, which are slightly more understandable, still point to a regression in smartphone technology. Although we don’t understand several of the intricacies of patent law involved in the case, we do know it’s bad news for consumers. When Apple has a legal monopoly over intrinsic aspects of smartphone design and technology, consumers lose.

Nuclear pollution blown out of proportion THOMAS LEFFLER Opinions columnist
L
et’s take a minute and talk about why nuclear power isn’t as bad as it seems. Today, when we think about nuclear power, we think about the most recent incident at the Fukushima plant last year in Japan. This has caused much controversy as we discuss our energy options for the future. The Fukushima incident caused much fear throughout the world about both nuclear energy and nuclear radiation. Japan has still not resumed nuclear energy operations. Other countries, the largest being Germany, have outright shut down their nuclear projects in the face of public uncertainty about nuclear technology. These fears, however understandable, are not founded in fact. The dangers of nuclear power are greatly overstated. In terms of the number of actual deaths, nuclear power is far less deadly than the mining of coal, gas or oil. Nuclear power is also free of carbon dioxide emissions, a major cause of global warming. Despite this, many in the environmental movement remain anti-nuclear, even though, in many aspects, nuclear energy is safer
and arguably “better” than carbonbased energy sources. The United States mines enough uranium to sustain its nuclear power programs for quite a long time, as opposed to coal or natural gas, which will reach the natural end of their fuel supplies in, theoretically, the coming centuries. While experts agree that there is a limited supply of fossil fuels, they disagree on the amount of time it will take fossil fuels will remain economically viable. With advancements in technology, we have developed “breeder reactors” that essentially use the leftover nuclear materials from the normal process of creating nuclear energy, further extending the lifespan of the nuclear fuel. The safety issues of radiation and nuclear energy, while not to be downplayed, have been blown out of proportion. The propagation of misinformation is both rampant and not conducive to a responsible national dialog about the energy needs of the United States. Some fear that a nuclear plant could possibly explode like a nuclear bomb does. However, this is impossible because the uranium is not enriched to the same degree as that in a nuclear warhead. The percentage of uranium that is the fissionable isotope in a typical civilian nuclear reactors is 3 to 4 percent,
while the percentage required for a nuclear weapon is at least 90 percent . The Fukushima disaster in 2011 also resulted from design fl aws not present in new reactors. Another major concern with the use of nuclear energy is what to do with the nuclear waste. Decades of “not in my backyard” activism has created a situation where, despite the increase in demand for energy, it is becoming more and more diffi cult to fi nd places willing to accept waste associated with the production of that energy. This is particular true of nuclear waste. Yucca Mountain in Nevada is a prime example of this. While Yucca Mountain in many ways is an ideal place to dispose of nuclear waste, local Nevada politics has ensured that this type of waste is kept out of state and has, in turn, created a rippling effect of problems concerning where and how to dispose of nuclear waste. Unfortunately, another one of the hidden costs of anti-nuclear sentiment is the relative lack of investment in nuclear technology. A concerted investment in practical nuclear technology could result in a number of scientific breakthroughs in both energy creation and disposal.

Sophomore slump? Find inspiration MELANIE STONE Opinions columnist
It
was a slow Monday morning in July. I had the day off from my internships, so I cozied up on the couch with a cup of coffee and typed up an email to my alltime favorite columnist, John Kass. He writes a Page 2 column for the Chicago Tribune, and the man is witty and wise. Kass is my writing inspiration. The subject line read: “Help me, I’m a terrible writer!” Suffice to say, this wasn’t just any ordinary email from crazed fan to famed columnist. It was a plea for advice, for a shovel to dig myself out of my journalistic rut, for words of encouragement. He responded just a few hours later with the email address of a woman named Angie Leventis. Well, if Kass thought that this Angie woman would be able to guide me, then I decided that she must be a helpful source. And oh, she was. When she called me a few days
later and identified herself as Kass’ right-hand researcher, I dove straight into my long list of questions: How did Kass get his job? Why is news writing so boring? Do I have to do it? Why has my writing grown dull? What internships do I need to succeed in the industry? Aren’t newspapers dying? What am I going to do with my life? My questions could’ve continued, but Angie stopped me: “Melanie, you can’t pick a job and set your heart on it. John didn’t wake up one day and say, ‘Hey, I’m gonna be a Page 2 columnist when I grow up!’ That doesn’t happen. He started at the bottom — the very bottom — and worked his way up until he discovered something that he loved.” For a moment, I was quiet. The idea of entering the working world at a low-level writing job makes me want to run — no, sprint — from the College of Media and fi nd solace in supply chain management, a major with an astonishingly high job placement rate. I have big dreams and big goals for my future; how could I possibly succumb to being a lowly reporter, swimming around a giant newsroom of barking editors and looming deadlines?
“But I don’t see myself as being that kind of writer,” I said. “I want to write columns, not news stories. I like the freedom. The creativity.” “You’ve gotta try it all and incorporate aspects of news writing into your Daily Illini column,” she said. “John’s column typically includes his own opinion, but it’s more about conversation and community. What’s everyone else saying and thinking about a certain topic? Be a voice for the people. Now that’s journalism.” Our conversation lasted a few minutes longer, but it was then that I suddenly started to feel that familiar surge of determination. This little column could be a stepping-stone to discovering who I am as a journalist. I want to dive into different topics. Find what is relevant. Interview with intention. Create conversation. And, of course, always pursue truth. This year, I’m coming back to the DI inspired. Here’s to sophomore year and a fresh approach to this column. Thank you, Angie.

he great thing about strolling down the Quad on any given day is that you never know what you’re going to see. There are always the tightrope walkers, the Frisbee players and the nappers. In addition, on Wednesday, Brother Jed, was back on campus for his annual ministering. At this University, it’s not uncommon to see religious speakers and teachers preaching and passing out pamphlets on the Quad. However, in the two years that I’ve been here, I’ve somehow missed the famous Brother Jed. Like any journalist who sees a crowd forming, I stopped to see what the stir was about. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with him, Brother Jed Smock is the leader of the Campus Ministry USA. He travels to different college campuses across the country trying to encourage students to live a holy life. Nothing’s wrong with that, but I was concerned with the way he tried to do this. The next hour and 30 minutes took me by complete surprise. Brother Jed and other members of his ministry were preaching the word of God in what came off as judgmental, theatrical and ineffective, elements opposite of what Christianity aims to prove. He preached about sexual immorality and the differences between living right and wrong. However, I became turned off when they start condemning individual students. They kept frequently labeling girls who have had premarital sex as whores and condemned others for homosexuality. One student was even told that they were going to hell. While many students genuinely tried to question their methods and sources of information, the majority of students only perceived Brother Jed as a joke. There were Brother Jed bingo sheets being passed around with some of his most memorable and disturbing logic in the squares. These included ideas such as: “All girls with short hair are lesbians,” “College girls should focus on fi nding a man and not studying,” and “Listening to rock music dooms you to hell.” Students would then claim their candied prize. Brother Jed’s acts were appalling. I understand the idea and need to spread the messages and teachings of God; however, I don’t know which was more shocking: the method and logic of Brother Jed or the fact that students had taken the time to create bingo sheets about this guy. As a Christian, I don’t agree with the outrageous methods being used. In fact, Brother Jed and others like him are achieving the opposite of what they try to do. When he seemed to be calm and a bit less theatrical, I asked him how he felt about the reactions of the students and what he hoped to accomplish. He stated that students reacted angrily because they knew that he was right and didn’t want to stop living the way they were living. He also went on to say that many Christians stay behind the church walls, and his goal is to get out in the public. Do you see how logical that sounds? If Brother Jed were to sit and talk with students in a more calm and deliberate manner, maybe people would start to take him seriously. Many students would probably still disagree with Brother Jed, but serious conversation would allow students to at least see where he’s coming from. The dramatic method of shouting, outrageous ideology and the passing of judgment may only capture the attention of an audience, but religion is not something you should joke around about. If you are going to minister to people honestly and genuinely, that’s one thing, but to criticize and essentially play around is disrespectful. How can I take that seriously? Overall, religious speakers should not condemn or pass judgment when trying to spread and convince people of their religious beliefs because ultimately it is not their place to do so. It also discredits the religion and shuns people. They should also maintain seriousness and keep an open mind. People seem to be more receptive and at least understanding of your point of view when partaking in a conversation in a respectful and legitimate manner. If Brother Jed wants students to believe in something, then he has to spread his message in a way worth believing.

Military network founder’s son killed in CIA drone strike BY SEBASTIAN ABBOT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD — Pakistani intelligence officials confirmed Thursday that a U.S. drone strike last week near the Afghan border killed the son of the founder of the powerful Haqqani militant network, a major blow to one of the most feared groups fighting American troops in Afghanistan. Badruddin Haqqani, who has been described as the organization’s day-to-day operations commander, was killed Aug. 24 in one of three strikes that hit militant hideouts in the Shawal Valley in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal area, said two senior intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
A U.S. official confirmed that Baruddin Haqqani was killed in a CIA drone strike. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the drone program publicly. The presence of the mostly Afghan Haqqani network in North Waziristan has been a major source of friction between Pakistan and the U.S. The Obama administration has repeatedly demanded that Pakistan prevent the group from using its territory to launch attacks in Afghanistan, but Islamabad has refused — a stance many analysts believe is driven by the country’s strong historical ties to the Haqqani network’s founder, Jalaluddin Haqqani. The Pakistani intelligence offi-
cials didn’t specify which strike on Aug. 24 killed Badruddin but said he was leaving a hideout when the U.S. missiles hit. The confirmation of his death came from their sources within the Taliban, which is allied with the Haqqani network, and agents on the ground, they said. But neither the officials nor their sources have actually seen Badruddin’s body. Pakistani intelligence officials previously said they were 90 percent sure Badruddin was killed in a drone strike in a different part of North Waziristan on Aug. 21. It’s unclear what caused the discrepancy. Afghanistan’s intelligence agency said several days ago that its operatives had confirmed Badruddin’s death.

CHICAGO — The 25-year-old driver who was at the wheel during a fatal Megabus crash in southcentral Illinois says he did everything he could to control the double-decker after a tire blew out. “When I heard the tire pop, I immediately grabbed hold extra tight to the steering wheel and let go of the accelerator. But I did not apply the brakes because I knew at highway speed it likely would have caused the bus to roll over,” Preston Taylor told the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday. The disabled bus didn’t react to attempts to steer it, Taylor said. It struck a bridge pillar along Interstate 55 near Litchfield on Aug. 2, killing one passenger and injuring nearly four dozen others. “I felt the heavy load on the bus, and the wheels would not turn. I was driving at 55 mph in the middle lane. When the tire blew, the bus veered into the left lane. I just held onto the steering wheel as tightly as I could and tried to keep it under control,” Taylor said. “But unfortunately, it went into the ditch.” Taylor, who lives in the Chicago suburb of Harvey, suffered a facial fracture and Achilles tendon damage from flying glass. He says he’s undergone three surgeries and is scheduled for one more plus a skin graft. Taylor used to drive a school bus and began working for Megabus in July. He was still in training when the accident happened and had a trainer riding with him. But Taylor told the Tribune that the trainer “really didn’t get a chance to say anything to me” because the accident started so quickly.

Turkey requests Security Council help, but leaders have little hope BY EDITH M. LEDERER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS — Turkey appealed to a reluctant U.N. Security Council Thursday for a safe haven for thousands of Syrians facing a “humanitarian disaster” as Britain and France said they would rule out no options — including a no-fly zone — to aid residents fleeing an escalating civil war. But Turkish leaders held out little hope for the endorsement of a deeply divided council that has been paralyzed on taking action to stop the 18-month uprising that has killed more than 20,000 people. “How long are we going to sit and watch while an entire generation is being wiped out by random bombardment and deliberate mass targeting?” asked Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. “Let’s not forget that if we do not act against such a crime against humanity happening in front of our eyes, we become accomplices to the crime.” Davutoglu proposed that the council establish camps for refugees forced to flee their homes, urging the council to take “long overdue steps” to help the suffering people. “Apparently, I was wrong about my expectations,” he told the council. “This meeting will not even end with a presidential or press
statement, let alone a robust resolution.” The path to the council’s agreement on a safe zone for Syrians is fraught with obstacles, headed by the reluctance of Russia and China, Syria’s most important allies. The countries have vetoed three Western-backed resolutions in the Security Council seeking to pressure President Bashar Assad’s government with the threat of sanctions. Moscow and Beijing were highly critical of the no-fly zone established by NATO to protect civilians during last year’s Libyan revolt against longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi, saying its enforcement went beyond the Security Council mandate. Western diplomats said enforcing the zone required taking out Libya’s air defenses and attacking tanks and military vehicles that posed threats to civilians. Before Thursday’s meeting, Britain and France announced new funding for refugees and offered support for more aggressive action, including a militaryenforced no-fly zone to protect a safe area for those fleeing the war. “We are not ruling out any options for the future,” Britain’s Foreign Secretary William Hague told a news conference. Britain and France are vetowielding members of the Security
Council as well as key NATO members. Asked whether the options would include a NATO-enforced no-fly zone, without Security Council authorization, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said France and the United Kingdom’s views are in “complete unity.” “All the possibilities are before us,” he said when asked about the proposal by Turkey, also a NATO member. “We can’t just say yes or no off the bat. We have to discuss it.” In his speech, the Turkish minister told the council that the camps established for fleeing Syrians “should have full protection.” Davutoglu mentioned examples of “the cost of procrastination,” including the 1995 Serb massacre in Bosnia of more than 8,000 Muslims taken from a U.N. enclave in Srebrenica and Saddam Hussein’s gassing of 5,000 people in the Kurdish village of Halabja in 1988. Eliasson said more than 2.5 million people — including Palestinian and Iraqi refugees — “are now in grave need of assistance and protection inside Syria,” more than double the number reported in March. Guterres said as of Wednesday, 229,000 people had left Syria and registered as refugees in Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq.

Typhoons spark humanitarian crisis in N. Korea BY JEAN H. LEE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this image made from North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency video footage, a person rides on a small boat in the rough seas off Wonsan City in Kangwon Province, North Korea, as a typhoon hits the area Tuesday. A second typhoon in less than a week is approaching North Korea on Thursday, threatening more rain in a country where storms often mean catastrophe because of deforestation and fragile infrastructure.
SEOUL, South Korea — Twin typhoons are renewing fears of a humanitarian crisis in North Korea, where poor drainage, widespread deforestation and crumbling infrastructure can turn even a routine rainstorm into a catastrophic flood. Typhoon Bolaven struck the North on Tuesday and Wednesday, submerging houses and roads, ruining thousands of acres of crops and triggering landslides that buried train tracks — scenes that are all too familiar in this disaster-prone nation. A second major storm, Typhoon Tembin, pounded the Korean Peninsula with more rains Thursday. The storms come as North Korea is still recovering from earlier floods that killed more than 170 people and destroyed thousands of homes. That in turn followed a springtime drought that was the worst in a century in some areas. Foreign aid groups contacted Thursday said they are standing by in Pyongyang but had not received new requests for help from the North Korean government. They had little information on the extent of damage and were relying on reports from state media. The country’s wariness toward the outside world, as well as a primitive rural road system, means aid may be slow arriving, if it is allowed to come at all. “These fresh storms, coming just a few weeks after the serious flooding — they do raise concerns because we see parts of the countryside battered again that have already been left in a vulnerable state,� said Francis Markus, spokesman for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in East Asia.

FRESNO, Calif. — Two more Yosemite National Park visitors have been found with a mouseborne virus blamed for the deaths of two people, bringing the total number of infections to six, state health officials said Thursday. Anita Gore, a spokeswoman for California Department of Public Health, said the discoveries were made through the agency’s investigation into cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome at the famed park. The infections spurred park officials to close 91 tent cabins at Curry Village in Yosemite Valley, where five of the six infections occurred. Gore said one of the infected people may have been in another area of the park. “Our investigation is trying to determine which area of the park that person visited,� Gore said. Over the past three weeks, two people have died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome after staying in cabins at Curry Village in Yosemite Valley. Park officials said the double-walled design of the cabins that were closed Tuesday made it easy for mice to nest between the walls. The disease is carried in the feces, urine and saliva of
deer mice and other rodents. The two that died had stayed the so-called “Signature� cabins. Mike Gauthier, Yosemite chief of staff, said the design of the luxury cabins that are new to the park allowed for rodent infestation. “We just weren’t aware that design would lead to it,� he said. The illness begins as flu-like symptoms but can quickly affect the lungs. It can take up to six weeks to incubate. Five of the people who fell ill are known to have stayed in the tent cabins in June or July, and warnings have gone out to visitors who stayed in Curry Village in June, July or August. The hantavirus outbreak occurred despite efforts by park officials to step up protection efforts last April. A 2010 report from the state health department warned park officials that rodent inspection efforts should be increased after a visitor to the Tuolumne Meadows area of the park fell ill. The new hantavirus policy, enacted April 25, was designed to provide a safe place, “free from recognized hazards that may cause serious physical harm or death.� It came after the state report revealed that 18 percent of mice trapped for testing at various locations around the park were
positive for hantavirus. The report said park officials should take steps to prevent mice from entering areas where people sleep. “Inspections for rodent infestations and appropriate exclusion efforts, particularly for buildings where people sleep, should be enhanced,� it said. “We worked with Yosemite to evaluate risk and make recommendations to reduce the possibility of transmission to people,� added Vicki Kramer, chief of the health department’s vector-borne disease section. “That included reducing the number of mice, and excluding them from structures.� In 2009, the park installed the 91 new, higher-end cabins to replace some that had been closed or damaged after parts of Curry Village, which sits below the 3,000-foot Glacier Point promontory, were determined to be in a rock-fall hazard zone. The new cabins have canvas exteriors and drywall or plywood inside, with insulation in between. Park officials found this week when they tried to shore up some of the cabins that mice had built nests in the walls. The deer mice most prone to carrying the virus can squeeze through holes just one-quarterinch in diameter. They are distinguished from solid-colored house

A man died and a woman became seriously ill after contracting a rare rodent-borne disease that might have been linked to their stay at this popular lodging area in Yosemite National Park, officials said Thursday. mice by their white bellies and gray and brown bodies. “Those cabins were all immediately investigated and cleaned when initial reports came out,� Gauthier said. “But we want to be extra sure and not take any chances.�
Yosemite’s hantavirus plan also calls for awareness training of park employees and prescribes protective measures and equipment to reduce exposure. “That’s been a clear part of our messaging. My understand-
ing is we did implement all of the measures of those recommendations,� Gauthier said. The state concurs that offi cials in Yosemite took steps to deal with potential hantavirus exposure, but there are limitations, given the location.

LEADING THE PACK Paralympic marathoner, coach guides Illinois athletes at London 2012 BY EMILY BAYCI STAFF WRITER
Editors Note: This article was written for Walt Harrington’s Literary Feature Writing class in Spring 2012.
A
dam Bleakney wishes he was on the open road right now, pushing his slender orange racing chair up hills around the country roads in Urbana. Instead, the olive-skinned 37-year-old coach is cruising in his gray minivan, one hand on the wheel and his head out the window, telling his athletes to keep pushing.
“A flat front tire never killed anyone,” he says, joking. His bulky, black wheelchair is stashed in the trunk and, instead of using his arms to propel himself as quickly as possible, he uses his hand controls to raise his van’s speed and see how fast his friend Josh George can make it between hills. “Twenty-seven miles an hour,” Adam calls out the window. “You’re really killing it.” He keeps the window open, letting in the hot air. He doesn’t want to seem pampered, riding in his minivan while his athletes are sweating. These athletes have been waiting four years for the Paralympics; it’s Bleakney’s job to ensure they make the most of it.
*** Adam was calm and soft spoken when he arrived at Illinois for school in 1997. He hadn’t developed a style yet. His addiction to coffee was not quite there — he could survive a day without a cup. He hadn’t married the love of his life, Laura, or made the decision to cut meat out of his diet. He had never been a leader of anyone, let alone become the head wheelchair racing coach at Illinois and coach of the world’s top Paralympic athletes. His light brown hair was still full, with no hints of gray or bald patches. He’d finished about a dozen marathons, but hadn’t come close to winning one. He hadn’t finished second in the Paralympics. He hadn’t witnessed the birth of
his two sons, or taken up the banjo. Back then, he cared only about himself, finding his place in the world and being the best he could be. It would be many years before Adam would learn to put aside his personal goals to help achieve the dreams of others. It would be many years before he would learn what it means to be a coach. *** Adam drives along, chatting with his student assistant, Anna, and identifying his tribe of athletes, by their animal doppelganger identities and qualities. Josh, who fell out of a 14th-story window at the age of four, is a snake because of his appearance

Out of the 13 current and former Illini that competed Thursday in wheelchair basketball, one player stood out of the pack. That player was Patrick Anderson of Canada. Anderson finished with 32 points, 13 rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes of action in a 68-53 win over Japan in Group B Preliminary play. Anderson led all scorers on Thursday, shooting a sizzling 15 of 21 from the field. The two other Illini on Team Canada, Adam Lancia and Brandon Wagner, finished with two points and zero points, respectively. Lancia played 15 minutes while Wagner played in 9 minutes of action. In a losing effort against Anderson’s Canadian squad, Illini Hiroaki Kozai of Japan finished with nine points, three rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes. Australia, featuring two Illini, scored the most points on the day, defeating South Africa 93-39. Neither Illini had a huge impact in the game, with Grant Mizens scoring two points and Dylan Alcott dishing out two assists but failing to score. Justin Eveson led Australia with 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Another game featuring Illini players was during the game of the day, Australia versus Brazil on the women’s side. Australia edged Brazil 52-50, led by Cobi Crispin who finished with 18 points, three rebounds and seven assists. Team captain and Illini Bridie Kean finished with two points and five rebounds in 14 minutes of action. Another Illini, Shelley Chaplin, failed to score in 20 minutes.

Men’s basketball schedule complete Maui, Big Ten play highlight new slate BY ETHAN ASOFSKY STAFF WRITER
The schedule for John Groce’s first season as Illini basketball head coach is finally complete. The Big Ten released its conference slate Thursday, finalizing Illinois’ schedule after the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics announced the team’s nonconference schedule on Wednesday. The Illini will play between 13 and 15 games against teams that made 2012 NCAA Tournament and 18 games — 16 regular season and two exhibition —
at Assembly Hall in front of their home fans. “The journey of November and December gives us the opportunity to be prepared for what will be an extremely competitive Big Ten race,” Groce said in a statement released by the program. “There have been as many as six teams ranked in various preseason polls, and with the tremendous players, coaches and home court environments that exist across this league, we will be challenged at the highest level throughout the conference season.” The Illini open their schedule on Oct. 22 with the annual Orange and Blue scrimmage, which will come just 10 days after the start of practice. Lewis and West Chester then
travel to Assembly Hall for two exhibition games before Illinois starts the regular season on Nov. 9 at home against Colgate. After just two tune-up games at home, Groce will take his team to Hawaii on a four-game trip, which includes a game in Honolulu to face the Warriors and three games in the Maui Invitational, where Illinois will join USC, North Carolina, Mississippi State, Marquette, Butler, Texas and Chaminade. The Illini face USC in the first round of the tournament on Nov. 19, followed by Texas or Chaminade in the second round the next day. Once the tournament is over, Illinois will close out its nonconference

Don’t be surprised if the faces of the Illinois men’s cross-country runners in Friday’s Illini Challenge look different. Of the seven competitors for the Illini, five are redshirt freshmen. Not included in this group is standout senior Jordan Hebert, as the Illini are aiming to give a large group of redshirt freshmen some experience to prepare them for their first full collegiate season. Eligibility wise, only five members of the team are not freshmen, giving it a very young look. For this particular tournament, however, newly hired head coach Jake Stewart is not very concerned and has confidence in his runners. “They’re very talented, they certainly have the ability to run the way we need them to run,” Stewart said. “It’s just going to be a matter of them doing the things that they’re capable of doing, and that’ll give us a favorable outcome.” The group competing in the Illini Challenge includes redshirt freshmen Ian Barnett, David Eckhart, Tommy King, Anthony Manfrin and Paul Zeman. Rounding out the squad are sophomore Joe McAsey and redshirt sophomore Mark Donohue. To compensate for its youth, the team has put in a great deal of practice over the break and hard work since the start of training camp on Aug. 20 in preparation for this season. “We put in a big summer, I was running 85 miles (per) week,” Zeman said. “We started workouts (last week) with longer tempo-type stuff, so we’re just putting in a lot of volume.” Being redshirted, these runners spent last season, other than a few races running as individuals, watching their teammates compete in the events giving them a learning perspective that they feel has helped them improve. “It’s really motivational watching all the oth-

Even with a young squad, they are confident that they can extend this streak. “The goal is always still the same: to come out on top,” Zemen said. “I don’t think just because we’re young that we think we would take second place or back down to any of the other competitors that are a little older.” Stewart elaborated on this saying that, while hosting a meet at home is not advantageous, he thinks that allowing his runners to remain in their personal routines without having to travel can be beneficial in allowing them to compete at their best.

Illinois prepares for 7th annual Stuff Huff BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE STAFF WRITER
Illinois witnessed firsthand the effect a great home crowd can have on a volleyball match. One week after being shredded by the buzzsaw that was Dayton in the Flyers’ home opener, the Illini will look to their own crowd to provide an emotional boost. No. 19 Illinois opens its home schedule this weekend with a doubleheader against No. 15 Iowa State. Friday night’s home opener doubles as the seventh annual Stuff Huff event, which has drawn large crowds in past years. “Every year, Stuff Huff is, I think, one of the more special events there is,” Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly said. “On any campus, in any sport, I just think the proximity of the fans to the court, and then the amount of students that we get and the energy they bring, I can’t imagine a better college environment. It’s what college sports should be.” The emotion and energy in the building will likely be greater this Friday, as Illinois raises the 2011 NCAA runner-up banner to Huff Hall’s rafters. And while the Illini will be hoping to use the raucous atmosphere to their advantage, controlling that emotion will be key for a relatively young Illinois team fighting to improve on a 1-2 start to the season. “It’s been a goal since I’ve gotten here: ... Stay in the moment. Focus on us rather than the distractions outside of the court,” redshirt freshman Jocelynn Birks said. Birks will appear in her first regular season game at Huff Hall and said she expects the environment to positively affect her play. But if she, or any other young player needs assistance dealing with nerves, they have a plethora of upperclassmen to turn to, including four-year starter Erin Johnson.
“We just try and help them out and say, ‘If you guys are nervous or feeling nervous or need our help, we’re here for you,’” Johnson said. “We’ve all been through that, we’ve all been nervous. I think it’s going to be impossible to not be nervous, but we really try and focus on each other and try to stay within ourselves and not pay too much attention to all the ruckus going on around us.” Hambly hopes that ruckus ultimately benefits the Illini. “Typically our team comes out way too fired up, and then they make a few errors early, and then they kinda settle in and then we get into our groove,” he said. “But the opponent, I think it’s a challenge for them the whole time because it’s rockin’ and our fans are very biased. It makes it a lot of fun.” The opponent in this case is yet another ranked team, Iowa State. Hambly expects the Cyclones to put increased pressure on the Illinois defense, comparing their propensity for setting more toward the middle of the court and style of play to that of an up-tempo basketball team. Playing back-to-back matches against the same opponent, with the second coming Saturday night, will also be a challenge. The Illini, though, see it more as an opportunity than an impediment. “The first time you go into something, you only have so much scouting and so much footage on them, and you don’t know exactly how they’ll play us,” Johnson said. “But I think after that first night we can really see how they played us, how, defensively, they played us and things we need to improve on the second night. So it’ll be cool, we can make some adjustments” Both Illinois and Iowa State will try to claw back to a winning record. Like Illinois, Iowa State carries a 1-2 mark into the weekend after falling to No. 12 Flori-

Cleveland’s quarterback woes help Chicago triumph 28-20 BY TOM WITHERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Quarterback Colt McCoy did little to solidify winning Cleveland’s backup job — or impress any other NFL team — and Chicago’s Josh McCown threw two touchdown passes in the first half, leading the Bears to a 28-20 victory over the Browns on Thursday night in the exhibition finale. McCoy, who lost his starting job in training camp to rookie Brandon Weeden, is battling Seneca Wallace to be Cleveland’s No. 2 QB. McCoy went 2 of 5 for 16 yards and an interception. The Bears (3-1) returned an interception and blocked punt for TDs in a 90-second span of the third quarter to pull away from the Browns (2-2). McCown played the entire game, finishing 20 of 29 for 157 yards and the two TDs. He will sit behind starter Jay Cutler and Jason Campbell. The Browns are unlikely to keep both McCoy and Wallace on the roster, which must be trimmed to the league-mandated 53-man limit Friday night. Cleveland has discussed trading McCoy, but coach Pat Shurmur has been impressed with the way his former starter has handled his demotion and may want to keep him as insurance should Weeden get hurt. Shurmur has much more to worry about than naming his backup quarterback. Cleveland’s special teams were bad again, and rookie running back Trent Richardson still hasn’t returned after undergoing knee surgery Aug. 9. Phil Dawson’s 39-yard field goal brought the Browns within 14-10 in the third before the Bears struck quickly. First, cornerback Greg McCoy picked off Thad Lewis and returned it 15 yards for a TD. Moments later, Bears linebacker Patrick Trahan shoved up-back Rod Windsor into punter Reggie Hodges, whose kick caromed off his teammate’s back, and Brittan Golden scooped it up and ran 22 yards for the score. Rookie Adonis Thomas flipped over from the 1 in the fourth to pull Cleveland within 28-17. Not wanting to risk injury to any of his starters, Shurmur sat almost all of his first-teamers, including Weeden and his entire defense. Shurmur said earlier this week he was pleased with Weeden’s development during training camp and thinks the 28-year-old is ready to face Philadelphia in the Sept. 9 opener. Weeden didn’t look so smooth last week, fumbling twice as the Eagles hammered the Browns 27-10. Weeden dressed for the final

On McCoy’s first pass, he never took his eyes off Greg Little and nearly got his wide receiver pummeled. When Cleveland got the ball back, McCoy threw high to intended target Jordan Norwood and was intercepted by Chicago backup free safety Jeremy Jones. On the first play following the turnover, McCown waited for wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher to get behind rookie Trevin Wade, and the Bears’ versatile wide receiver made a diving, one-handed TD grab. The play stood following an official replay. McCoy was lifted after one quarter — 13 total plays — and was replaced by Wallace, a nine-year veteran who has made seven starts in two years

with Cleveland. Wallace engineered an 80-yard scoring drive before halftime, capping it with his 2-yard TD pass to Windsor. As Wallace ran off the field, McCoy greeted his teammate with a tap on the helmet and pat on the back. Like Shurmur, Bears coach Lovie Smith rested his starters in advance of their home opener against Indianapolis. Fullback Tyler Clutts was the only Bears’ first-stringer to start. Cutler, who threw just one TD pass and completed only 47 percent of his passes in three games, stood on the sideline wearing a baseball cap. Browns running back Montario Hardesty had six carries for 24 yards, but most importantly he didn’t fumble after a turnover in each of the past two games. His roster spot seems secure because of Richardson’s uncertain status.

The Illini will play home and away games against Ohio State, Northwestern, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin and the Boilermakers, but neither Michigan State nor Iowa will travel to Champaign.

BLEAKNEY FROM PAGE 2B and sly persona. Jessica Galli, 2006 alumna and volunteer assistant coach still training with the team, who was in a car accident as a young child, is a chipmunk because it fits her face and nonstop personality. Aaron Pike, a 2007 alumnus and volunteer assistant coach still training with the team, who was shot in a hunting accident at 14, is a Saint Bernard with a long, serious face. Robert Kozarek, a 2012 alumnus and volunteer assistant coach, got in a car accident between his junior and senior years of high school. He doesn’t have an animal yet, although as the largest member of the team it’s probably some type of bear. And Adam, with his knowledgeable brown eyes, long neck and small head, he’s a wise old turtle. Adam’s accident happened during a trip to Colorado with his best friend Seth in 1994, the summer after his freshman year of college at the University of Saint Thomas. They were mountain biking through Breckenridge, maneuvering up steep dirt paths through trees and rocks when he ran over a fallen tree, tumbling off his bike and broke his back. Adam only remembers pieces of that day — that it hurt too much to move his arm, the shrill sound of paramedics chopping down trees for the humming helicopters to land and the empty feeling in his legs. Adam was always injury prone: the time he tumbled off a tractor and hit his head, the time he was running down the street and ran into a telephone pole. In his wheelchair, the accidents continued — he ran into cars and trees and even a person. Even as a competitive racer, he would fall. While racing in the Disney Marathon, he ran into a bench while exiting Cinderella’s castle. After his legs were paralyzed, the former collegiate wrestler returned home and started junior college. Needing a way to stay competitive in the constraints of his chair, Adam began wheelchair road racing almost immediately. At the Boston Marathon in 1997, Adam first met Marty Morse, the then-Illinois wheelchair track and field head coach who had built the Illinois program into a national powerhouse, at a bus stop. Marty, struck by Adam’s natural talent, immediately began recruiting Adam. “The only time I ever recruited off the street,” Marty recalls. When Adam came to Illinois, he planned to complete his undergraduate degree in English and become one of the top wheelchair racers in the nation. Marty was his mentor, coach and friend. The conversations began: at practice, on the weekends, on the phone and in Marty’s office — training plans, best ways to sit in the chair, what gloves to wear, what wheels to install, the proper pre-race mentality. The lessons took and Adam became one of the top wheelchair athletes in the program. He won the Chicago Marathon in 2002 and was a member of the 2002 U.S.

World Championship track and field team in Lille, France. The realization that Marty was grooming Adam to become a coach clicked when Adam stayed on for graduate school and realized he was earning two masters degrees: one in journalism — the art and craft of interviewing, reporting and fact-checking — and in Marty — the art and craft of exercise, training and mental strength. “I got a better understanding as to why Marty was having me do what I did when I did,” Adam says. “This was very helpful to me as an athlete and a coach, though at that point, I was pulling in that information to be a better athlete and to have a better relationship with Marty.” After graduation, Adam took a job publicizing youth wheelchair equipment in Atlanta. The city wasn’t what Adam thought it would be. He couldn’t stand the traffic, that it took him nearly an hour to drive home from work, being so far from his family. Yet he was at the peak of his training then, and he won the Paralympic silver medal in the 800-meter sprint at the Athens Paralympic Games in 2004. That year, when Marty stepped down as Illinois coach and Adam was offered his job at $32,000 a year, he jumped at the chance. “Adam was the only guy I wanted for the job,” Marty says. As coach, Adam remained a competitor. He couldn’t imagine life without racing. But combining coaching and training was harder than he had expected. He couldn’t put himself first anymore. During interval track workouts, it was better for the athletes if Adam did double the repetitions at a slower speed, allowing his athletes to draft off him. This was not so good for him. The experience put a strain on his body and he stopped getting faster. He could better pick up mistakes an athlete makes when riding in a racing chair next to them at whatever was the athlete’s speed. This drastically diminished his own training time. Often, before races, Adam had to help an athlete fix a flat tire or offer a quick word of advice, instead of focusing on himself. “I wanted to do Marty justice,” he says. In the years since, Adam has recruited some of the top athletes in the country, coached worldrecord holders, Paralympic gold medalists, and multiple national team members. Adam was named United States Olympic Committee Paralympic Coach of the Year in 2007. With Illinois being one of only three collegiate wheelchair racing programs in the country, Adam is able to confidently say his school had a larger, stronger gathering of athletes than anywhere else, even the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. Adam coached four athletes to world records and he brought six athletes to the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, where they won 14 medals, half of the ones won by U.S. Paralympic athletes. But Adam, who also competed, didn’t win a medal.

It was frustrating for him, trying to race while coaching, trying to be in two places at once. He had been at a racing time plateau for a few years but had no time to improve. After Beijing, Adam made a choice: “I’m done with Paralympics. I’m just going to coach.” “It’s a different sense of reward I get when my athletes achieve. It makes me feel like I made a difference in their lives, and I accomplished something great through them.” *** Hours and hours each weekday, Adam sits in his office, coaching. He’s carrying on what Marty had started: coaching for more than just to win, evaluating athletes as individuals — their body types, personalities and individualized training regimens. He takes every coach he liked and tries to imitate their best qualities: listening to what athletes say, providing positive feedback, giving second chances. He tries to avoid the worst qualities of the coaches he disliked: yelling for no good reason, forcing an athlete to do the same exercise unsuccessfully over and over, not allowing time for fun, jokes and laughter. Adam draws his main coaching philosophy from his father, who coached Adam through elementary and middle school. “I think about the process instead of winning,” Adam says. “If you work hard in training and in practice and are doing everything right there, then winning will take care of itself.” *** The decision to stop racing altogether didn’t last long. Adam stopped his track and speed workouts but the road races and marathons, the miles rolling through the Champaign and Urbana country roads, he just couldn’t quit. He loved being out there pushing around hills and feeling the cool breeze. So Adam decided to keep doing distance and road races, but mostly for fun. It turned out he was able to use the strategies he implemented for his athletes on himself. He stopped pushing with a flat powerful stroke and instead went the finesse route, pushing with his fingers and thumbs. He switched his seating position, no longer resting on his butt but instead directly on his heels, for better posture and stabilization in the chair. He began getting faster for the first time in years. Adam raced in the Chicago Marathon last October and earned a bid to compete in the 2012 London Paralympics. So he is currently with his team in London — with 10 days as a coach and one day as an athlete. Eleven current and former Illini wheelchair track athletes will represent Team USA in the Paralympics. “I want to be there helping them achieve their goals,” Adam says of his athletes. “Watching their faces when they succeed, that’s much more exciting than winning myself.”

One less thrilled. Turkey knocked off the U.S. 59-50 on Thursday, led by Cem Gezinci, who finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds. Turkey outshot the U.S., making 50 percent of their field goals compared to the 31 percent shooting by the Americans. Will Waller, captain of the U.S. and a former Illini, finished with six points and six rebounds in a losing effort. Steve Serio, also of Illinois, didn’t score in the game during 11 minutes of play. Joseph Chambers led the U.S. with 17 points and nine assists. The U.S. men will face off against Italy on Friday, while the women will match up against Germany.

Cubs overtake Brewers Trailing by 2 in 9th, Cubs make comeback THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — The Cubs haven’t had much success against the Brewers this season. With a wild comeback win Thursday, Chicago at least got the last laugh against their NL Central rival. Jonathan Lucroy hit a grand slam and drove in seven runs for Milwaukee, but Alfonso Soriano’s RBI single capped a threerun comeback in the ninth inning that lifted the Chicago Cubs over the Brewers 12-11. The Cubs win capped a lopsided season series between the teams that saw Milwaukee take 13 of 17 games. Cubs manager Dale Sveum was a coach for the Brewers before taking the reins in Chicago. “Anybody else need a nap?” Sveum asked after the 4-hour, 9-minute marathon. In a seesaw game featuring a combined 15 extra-base hits, the Cubs led 3-0, trailed 9-3 and were still down 11-9 going into the ninth. Starlin Castro hit an RBI single against Francisco Rodriguez (2-7), Anthony Rizzo tied it with his second double of the afternoon, and Soriano won the game with his one-out drive off the center-field wall. “Those young guys don’t give up,” Soriano said. “When we’re losing like we’re losing, a lot of games, you have to come to the ballpark with energy. We try our best. We try to play hard and win games.” Lucroy tied his career high for RBIs and Rickie Weeks had five hits. Ryan Braun and Cody Ransom also homered for Milwaukee, which had won eight straight against the Cubs. “To put up runs like we did and then give it all away, it’s kind of tough to be a part of,” Lucroy said. “Fun game offensively, but defensively didn’t cut it.” Ransom led off the seventh with a go-ahead solo shot to center off Blake Parker after Chicago rallied to tie the game with a six-run sixth. Lucroy’s third-inning shot landed on Waveland Avenue, erasing the Cubs’ early 3-0 lead. Lucroy also stroked a two-run single in the sixth and an RBI single in the eighth, matching the seven RBIs he had May 20 against Minnesota. Braun’s league-leading 36th homer was even more impressive, clearing the batter’s eye beyond the ivy in center field and nearly hitting the camera booth. “Once we got the big lead and they came back, we just didn’t have the momentum,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. Shaun Marcum was making his second start after missing two months because of elbow soreness. He allowed three runs, scattering five hits and four walks while striking out four. Marcum had to leave the game after throwing 85 pitches because of right calf cramping. “I wasn’t very good from the get go, wasn’t locating anything,” Marcum said. “All in all, today wasn’t a good day.” Carlos Marmol (2-2) picked up the win in relief. Cubs rookie Brooks Raley gave up seven runs and 10 hits in four innings in his last outing of the season. Before the game, Sveum said that Raley would be shut down because of an innings limit. Raley will finish the season 1-2 with an 8.14 ERA in his first five big-league starts. “I knew it was my last start going into the game,” Raley said. “Obviously I’d like it to have gone differently, but we won the game so that’s exciting.” Brett Jackson, another rookie, reached base four times. He doubled twice in the sixth, including a slicing two-bagger up the left-field line that tied the score at 9-apiece. “A lot of good work on offense,” Jackson said. “A couple of huge innings. Very fun.”

Illinois teammates celebrate with Nick Fabbrini after he scored the first goal in the second period Dec. 3, 2005, at the Ice Arena. Illinois defeated Michigan 11-3, bringing their season record to 18-0. Fabbrini is the new head coach for the Illini, following Chad Cassel.
Former Illini takes over as hockey coach
Cassel praises Fabbrini’s skills as player, coach BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER
This is the season of the firstyear coach for Illinois athletics. Replacements in the football and both basketball programs have headlined the news, but the hockey program will also have a fresh face with new head coach Nick Fabbrini. He will follow in the footsteps of retiring head coach Chad Cassel, who had run the team since
1997. Fabbrini has some big shoes to fill. Despite the team’s struggles last season, Cassel will go down as perhaps the greatest coach in Illini hockey history. His achievements include two national championships, a perfect 2007-08 campaign, a program-record 391 wins and a seat in the Illinois Hockey Hall of Fame. Fabbrini is following the same career arc as Cassel thus far, going from student-athlete to assistant coach and now head coach of the team. Fabbrini was a player on the undefeated 2007-08 team, and an assistant under Cassel during the 2008-09 season while he finished his degree at Illinois. “I was very happy that Nick got
(the job),” Cassel said. “I know he was excited about the potential and the position. I think he’ll do a great job.” Although this is his first head coaching position, Fabbrini has experience coaching and leading for quite some time. “I’ve been running and helping out with camps since I was 14 or 15 years old,” Fabbrini said. “Whether it’s shooting on goal camps or helping out with guys younger than me, I’ve been coaching since I was 16. So, when it was time for me to be done (as a player), coaching was just a natural transition for me.” Since Fabbrini’s departure in 2009, he coached as an assistant for varsity hockey at Fenwick
High School for two years, before getting the call to coach the Illini. “In terms of coaching here full time, I didn’t really think about it as a player,” Fabbrini said. “Once I got done here and started to coach in Chicago, it was something I thought about.” Looking back, Cassel sees many good qualities that Fabbrini possessed as a player that could translate to a successful coaching career. “He was always a very smart, intelligent player for us,” Cassel said. “He was a very gifted player offensively, so I think he’ll definitely bring that to the program.” With tryouts this weekend, as well as two exhibition games in Springfield, on Sept. 7-8 with an extended roster, Fabbrini is look-
ing get Illinois hockey back to the standing it held in 2008. “I don’t think there’s pressure to improve on what (Cassel) did, as much as to continue the tradition that he built,” Fabbrini said. “But, I do think that there’s work to be done for Illini hockey this year.” “(Fabbrini) loves playing hockey here, loves the program,” Cassel said. “He’ll definitely bring that passion and excitement to the program.” If we’ve learned anything from the hiring of Tim Beckman, John Groce and Matt Bollant this year, it is that high-energy coaches have a place in Champaign.

Chicago drops 3 of 4 to Baltimore Sox head to Detroit in battle for lead BY DAVID GINSBURG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — The Chicago White Sox couldn’t get out of Camden Yards fast enough after losing three of four to the surging Baltimore Orioles. Orioles left-hander Zach Britton struck out a career-high 10, Taylor Teagarden and Adam Jones homered, and Baltimore beat Chicago 5-3 Thursday in a duel of AL playoff contenders. Next up for the first-place White Sox: A showdown with Detroit for the lead in the AL Central. “You’ve got to go in there and put this series behind us, and hopefully go into Detroit and play well,” Chicago catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. “The Orioles are playing well right now. They have a confidence about them, especially at home. We’re out of here now, and we have to worry about Detroit.” Chicago went 2-6 this season against the Orioles, who took charge in the finale with a four-
run third inning against Jose Quintana (5-3), who yielded five straight two-out, extra-base hits. Alexei Ramirez had three hits for the White Sox, who trailed 5-1 in the fourth but got the tying run to the plate in the ninth. “Once this game is past, you just move on to the next one,” Ramirez said through an interpreter. “Baltimore is a great team, they’re playing great baseball right now.” The victory moved the Orioles (72-58) within three games of the idle AL East-leading New York Yankees, who host Baltimore in a three-game series that begins Friday night. Britton (4-1) gave up one run, seven hits and did not issue a walk.
