UI receives top score for sustainability BY EDWARD GATHERCOAL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Bosnia-Herzegovina President Zeljko Komsic spoke of the political state of his country at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science on Tuesday. Negotiations regarding the Balkan state’s membership to the European Union are still ongoing.

Komsic visits UI, talks politics BY RYAN WEBER MANAGING EDITOR

In an address at the University on Tuesday afternoon, the head of state of Bosnia-Herzegovina outlined the politics of his country and its pursuit of joining the European Union. Chairman of the three-member Bosnian presidency Zeljko Komsic spoke at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science during a day-long stop in Champaign-Urbana. His remarks preceded a roundtable discussion, “Bosnians in the U.S.: Communities, Connections, and Homelands,” which was led by faculty and staff across several departments that study Bosnian culture and politics. Sponsors included the Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian Center; the European Union Cen-

ter; the University library; and the Slavic languages and literatures department. Komsic was at the U.N. General Assembly last week in New York, and he remained in the U.S. to travel to St. Louis, Chicago and other cities with large Bosnian communities. He stopped in Champaign-Urbana on his way from St. Louis to Chicago, where he will speak with the Bosnian community there. His remarks coincide with a developing partnership between the University and BosTel, a Chicago-based Bosnian television station, said Judith Pintar, a visiting assistant professor of Slavic languages and literatures. She said the partnership will lead to a Bosnian media archive in the International and Area Studies Library at the University. Because

Chicago maintains a large Bosnian population, the University’s Slavic languages and literatures department hopes to build a relationship with the community there, she said. Negotiations to admit the Balkan country into the European Union are at a stalemate because Bosnia-Herzegovina has not met certain political and economic conditions set by the union. According to a European Court of Human Rights ruling, the current constitution discriminates against minorities. “There is no one way for Bosnia and Herzegovina to enter the European Union,” Komsic said through a translator. He said the ethnic divides within the country present numerous challenges for governance, which is why Bosnia has not acceded to

the European Union. The three major ethnic groups of Bosnia — the Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats — remain segregated, which is why the presidency of the country includes one elected official from each group. The last census in the country took place over a decade ago, so the exact ethic composition of the country is not available. In 1995, the country emerged from a three-year civil war, which began when Bosnia-Herzegovina declared independence in 1992 after the break-up of the former Yugoslavia. The armed conflict, which crossed ethnic lines, ended after peace negotiations held in Dayton, Ohio.

ECE professor designs new IV device BY MARYCATE MOST CONTRIBUTING WRITER

For electrical and computer engineering professor Brian Cunningham and his team of graduate student researchers, the future of health care can be found within a two-inch piece of plastic. This small piece of plastic, called a photonic nanodome, can measure the kinds and concentrations of drugs within an IV line in real-time and more accurately than other devices in its class. The device, created by Cunningham and his team at the University’s Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, is comprised of a centimeter-wide, gold sheet covered in nanometer sized “domes”, which work in conjunction with IV tubes and a laser light detector. The detector identifies the concentrations of drugs in a patient’s system, eliminating medical errors that are commonly associated with IV treatment, Cunningham said. “We are interested in helping to

improve the safety of drug delivery in hospitals,” Cunningham said. “Getting an incorrect dose, an incorrect medication or an incompatible combination of drugs is one of the most common ways to be harmed or killed in the hospital.” Cunningham provided an example of when this device would be most useful: for patients in intensive care units. “People in the intensive care unit might be receiving ten different things all at the same time, “ he said. “That is also how different drugs get into the system ... For many of those things, there can be toxic effects if two drugs that are not compatible with each other go together or if the dose is too high or too low.” The drug-detecting process begins when the drugs being given to the patient pass through the IV tubing and into the device. Next, a laser, which provides a high concentration of electrons, stim-

A group of University students will attempt to shift power consumption from fossil fuels to renewables at a mid-October conference in Pittsburgh. At the conference called “Power Shift”, over 30 members of the registered student organization Students for Environmental Concerns (SECS) will unite with other people seeking environmental justice. “We’re sending these big cor-

porations a message to invest in cleaner energies,” said Leah Wurster, Illinois recruitment fellow for Power Shift. “No one can beat their money, their numbers — we realize that. But we want them to adopt something more responsible and just.” Beyond Coal, a SECS committee, has been working on a campaign to get the University to divest with the “filthy fifteen” coal companies.

Students seek to shift UIUC toward sustainable energy BY CLAIRE EVERETT

Among 832 schools, the University received a perfect score on Princeton Review’s sustainability rating, earning it a spot on the Green Honor Roll for 2014 and making it one of 22 colleges on the list. The project, which is currently in its sixth year, collected data from more than 800 schools through its 2012-13 surveys and ranked each college’s environmental sustainability. The schools were evaluated with many criteria, including waste practices, sources of dining hall food, methods of transportation and student groups. Stephanie Lage, assistant director of the Center for a Sustainable Environment, said the University’s inclusion in the honor roll could be attributed to the progress that has been made toward its sustainability goals. Upcoming goals for the Climate Action Plan are to achieve a 20 percent water use reduction in 2015 and a 30 percent energy use reduction by fiscal year 2020. The University conserves water throughout campus buildings with low-flow faucets and by fixing leaks, Lage said. Retrocommissioning provides an in-depth analysis of a building’s HVAC, ventilation and air conditioning systems in order to reach optimal energy conservation, sustainability and comfort. This division has helped to provide an average decrease in energy use by 27 percent in more than 40 buildings on campus, said Steve Breitwieser, media communications specialist for Facilities and Services. “There’s just a lot occurring, and a lot is being undertaken to meet the target goals,” he said. Breitwieser noted that there are other energy conservation initiatives in addition to retrocommissioning, which include energy performance contracting, energy grant funding, a new energy management control center and others that aid in the reduction of energy consumption at the University. “I think it is a general increas-

ing awareness that we have an energy dashboard that students can take a look at and can be aware of the different types of energy consumption in the facilities they’re in,” Breitwieser said. The University also ensures sustainability through the dining services on campus, both through University and certified public housing. Sue Dawson, food service director at Hendrick House, discussed how locally grown food plays a role in the residence hall’s sustainability efforts. At Hendrick House, there is a rooftop garden where herbs, cherry tomatoes, basil and rosemary are grown and are used in “Farm-toTable” meals. Growing food locally helps fulfill sustainability goals by reducing emissions from the various transportation methods required to ship non-local foods, according to the sustainability research organization Worldwatch Institute. Dawson said there are more local food providers than ever before, and these are growing wider varieties of food over different time periods. She said she believes that this signifies a growing trend of more people wanting locally grown food, which supports sustainability. “I think it says our community is supportive of it. Even though we’re typically not University owned, we are working towards the same goals,” she said. “And that’s an important community role to be playing.” Lage said she thinks the University is achieving its sustainability goals because of the efforts of everyone on campus. “I think that people care, and they do their part by not overtaxing the system,” she said. “They turn off their lights, their computers when they come home. And then there’s transportation — people are riding their bikes more often or walking, taking the MTD, and that’s part of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.”

US Army to ban tattoos below elbows, knees CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Tattooed soldiers will have to keep the ink off their sleeves as the U.S. Army rolls out new uniform policies governing tattoos. The current uniform standards already prohibit troops from having tattoos on the face, neck and anywhere above their uniform collars. The new standards will also bar soldiers from having tattoos below the elbow or knee. The new policy will affect those wishing to enlist in the Army directly and those pursuing an officer position. “When you look at someone in a business suit with full sleeves (of tattoos), you’re going to think differently of them versus someone without the full sleeves,� said Diane Moncrief, scholarship and enrollment officer for the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps. “In the military, appearance is everything.� Michael Gray, a tattooed senior

NANOTECH ulates a strong electric field between the nanodomes’ small gold bumps on the surface plasmon. When the drugs wander through that small interdome space they give off light. This kind of testing allowed Cunningham and Hsin-Yu Wu, a former graduate student in Engineering and fi rst author of the research, to detect the Raman signatures, or specific light reflections, of drugs within an IV tube. “We use the strong electrical field to enhance the Raman signature, and this is how we detect the very low concentration of the drug,� Wu said. “We can detect even the smallest molecule in the interdome region.� Apart from the strong electrical field that will allow medical staff to quickly identify drug concentrations, Wu and Cunningham agree that the device’s pricetag is one of its most important assets. The device, which is made from plastic and attaches easily to standard IV tubing, would cost less than one dollar. “There are other devices that can use that light scattering, but the challenge is making these devices that are disposable,� Cunningham said. “Ours is the

in LAS who served in Iraq from 2010-11, is currently pursuing an officer position. “We used to have to shine our boots and press our uniforms, but we don’t have to do that now,� Gray said. “Higher command thinks it means we’re losing our professional image, so this is a way to maintain that.� Tattooing is quite prevalent in the military, as found by a study published in 2000 by the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing. According to the study, 64 percent of its Army respondents entered the service with tattoos. Moncrief and Gray agree that tattoos are especially common among enlisted soldiers. The current tattoo policy says that commanding officers cannot order current troops to remove a tattoo, but may encourage them to do so. Gray questioned whether potential recruits would want

to pay for tattoo removal for the chance to be enlisted. “It seems to remove a lot of potential recruits unless they get it removed,� Gray said. “It shows commitment to the Army, but I don’t necessarily like (that part of the policy).� However, Gray and Corey Maisch, freshman in Engineering and ROTC cadet, both acknowledge that those who enlist must abide by whatever policies higher-ups put in place. “The military is voluntary, so what we sign up for, we’re agreeing to,� Masich said. The changes to Army uniform standards are set to become official policy in 30 to 60 days, according to Stars and Stripes, the official newspaper of the Army. A representative for the Army could not be reached for comment.

first that can be made out of plastic in a pretty inexpensive way.� This project was funded by the National Science Foundation and by Baxter, a Chicago company that produces drug infusion pumps and IV tubes that were used in the research. The team officially released its first paper on the device last year, but Wu recently extended the paper to include more information on the replication, design and characterization of the sensors, as well as a more detailed description of the drugs that the device will identify, Wu said. The device can currently identify a wide variety of drugs commonly found in IV treatments, including morphine, dopamine and heparin. However, with additional research, Cunningham said, this technology could potentially be applied to dialysis tubing and biomedical tubing, helping small sensors in urinary catheters monitor kidney health and check for infections. “It’s a long way still before a research idea like this becomes a product and begins to be used in a hospital,� Cunningham said. “But with an ability like this to detect medication errors before it results in a problem for the patient, we would save thousands of lives every year.� Many hospitals already employ a system of human and technol-

ogy checks to make sure patients receive the right treatment, but Linda Fred, pharmacy director at Carle Foundation Hospital, sees benefit in the extra layer of protection that the device would provide. “Here at Carle, we utilize a number of technologies and human checks to help ensure that the right medication is administered to the right patient and the right dose,� Fred said. “The availability to electronically validate a drug concentration at the bedside would give one more layer of checks.� Cunningham and Meng Zhang, a graduate student, will present the team’s fi ndings at the Frontier in Optics Conference held in Orlando, Fla. from Oct. 6-10. Although Zhang was not a part of the team that worked on the device, she was chosen to speak on behalf of Wu, Cunningham said. “It is defi nitely a great pleasure and honor to present Prof. Cunningham’s work to the entire optics community during the Frontiers in Optics Conference,� Zhang said. “The novelty of the work lies in its power to identify medications in the tubing of intravenous delivery system in real time.�

from fossil fuels, climate justice and building a clean energy economy. “It’s our generation that’s responsible for the future of humanity, environment and well-being of the earth,� said Molly Roche, junior in NRES. “We’ve grown up seeing policies not working that are centralized around money. We’ve gotten sick of it, and we’re ready to overtake power.� Roche said she was excited to learn from other people involved in the movement because, “If

we don’t start making a change now, it’s going to be too late for the environment.� The event will take place from Oct. 18-21 and end in a “direct action� demonstration. “I think all the facets of Power Shift will be beneficial and really enthuse everyone about working toward environmental change, whether it be Beyond Coal or other organizations,� Whitney said.

WASHINGTON — National parks and monuments closed and hundreds of thousands of federal employees began an unpaid furlough Tuesday, with no end in site of the first government shutdown in 17 years. President Barack Obama accused Republicans in the House of Representatives of forcing the partial government shutdown because of their “ideological crusade� to stop the new Affordable Care Act from taking full effect as scheduled Tuesday. Republicans countered that they have been trying to keep the government open but that the Democrats refuse to negotiate at all over any change to the health care law. Obama said he was willing to negotiate on a range of issues, but not under threat of repeal of a law enacted in 2010, upheld by the Supreme Court, and debated in a 2012 election that he won over a Republican who wanted to repeal the law. He warned that the shutdown, which has furloughed an estimated 800,000 federal workers, could hurt a still fragile economy. “That’s not how adults operate,� he said. “Certainly that’s not how our government should operate. ... We’re better than this.� Looking to ease the pain of the shutdown — or the political fallout — the Republican House offered its newest proposal, this one a series of three votes to restore spending for three popular areas: the Department of Veterans Affairs, the District of Columbia with its landmark monuments and the National Park Service. “That’s a reasonable, productive way to move forward,� Sen. David Vitter, R-La., said during an outdoor news con-

and empty chairs to symbolize the absence of Senate Democrats. “Clearly the Senate has demonstrated that it is not willing to engage in the legislative process, and that is why I think the House and the speaker took the position of appointing conferees, so that we can actually get down to business and talk through our differences,� said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. Even tea party conservatives, who have championed the House’s efforts to repeal Obama’s health care law, expressed unease with the idea of a conference committee. “Part of the reason we’re against Obamacare in the first place was there were a lot of closed-door meetings instead of business being conducted in the light of day,� said Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, who said she fears that a House-Senate conference wouldn’t be transparent. “I’ve heard that conference meetings would be open to the public. But I’ve heard that prior to having the meetings there are a lot of backdoor deals.� The shutdown failed to achieve the Republican aim of delaying the start of Obama’s health care law, though various online marketplace exchanges that went live Tuesday reported glitches. Republicans pointed to the array of problems to bolster their case that the health care law should be stopped. But Obama, who appeared in the Rose Garden with Americans he says have already benefited from the health care law, attributed some of the problems to demand. He said more than 1 million people visited the online site before 7 a.m. — five times more users than ever have been on Medicare.gov at one time — and caused it to be sluggish.

ference with House and Senate Republicans. Senate Democrats insisted on an all-or-nothing approach to reopening the government. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., dismissed the House proposals as “just another wacky idea from the tea party-driven Republicans� and an effort to “cherry pick some of the few parts of government that they like.� The White House said it would veto any partial restoration of government funding. “The president and the Senate have been clear that they won’t accept this kind of game-playing, and if these bills were to come to the president’s desk he would veto them,� White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage said. At the Capitol, congressional Democrats and Republicans worked to blame each other for the standoff. The Democratic National Committee created a website and the hashtag GOPShutdown; House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, penned an editorial in USA Today arguing that Obama has refused to negotiate. The Senate returned to business at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday and promptly killed the House Republicans’ previous proposal. The chamber rejected the idea on a party-line 54-46 vote, putting the ball back in the House’s court. Boehner accused Senate Democrats of prolonging the shutdown, saying they had “slammed the door on reopening the federal government by refusing to talk.�He added, “We hope that Senate Democrats — and President Obama — change course and start working with us on behalf of the American people.� House Republican conferees appointed to the nonexistent conference committee held a news event with a conference table

In college admissions process, standardized tests overemphasized

A

CT and SAT scores essentially tell us one thing: how good you are at taking the ACT or SAT. Many students can relate because the ACT or SAT are still required for admission to this University, including the upcoming applicant Class of 2018. These antiquated, one-size-fits-all instruments continue to exist because of their standardization and the need for admission offices to easily sort through the glut of college applicants. However, we no longer find that to be an acceptable reason for continuing to place such importance on these tests. Think about it: Possibly the most important choice in your life is made when you choose to attend college. Should it really be based, in heavy part, on your toil over a 5-hour test? Many schools agree that too much weight is given to these tests. Some, such as Smith College, have chosen the path of being completely test-optional. Others, such as New York University, have eliminated the test requirement altogether for individuals who wish to submit their Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or SAT subject tests instead. Rather than abruptly removing all standardized tests from the admissions process, we favor a de-emphasis. We do think the ACT is reasonable for establishing some cutoffs that are necessary for the realities of an applicant pool at a school of our size. But, we believe there are better ways of evaluating individuals that deserve far more weight: high school transcripts, extracurricular and outside-of-school activities and jobs and recommendation letters. High school transcripts can tell a lot about students’ willingness to take on academic challenges and improve accordingly. The array and rigor of high school coursework can indicate how much students can stack on their plates. Grades earned in courses can demonstrate the ability to improve from year to year. However, these, as any of the metrics we mention, are by no means perfect. The downside of just relying on coursework is that high school curricula can be very rigid, and some schools just don’t have the resources to offer the same opportunities as other schools can — such as AP courses. The drawback of relying on grades is that there usually isn’t a narrative portraying all you did or didn’t do to earn that grade or the individual circumstance surrounding particular grades. Extracurricular activities and outsideof-school experiences can also provide insight on non-academic interests and show how you will add to the diversity of a prospective college. They can show how you invest yourself in school outside of the classroom and talents not necessarily made salient by your transcript. Your outside activities, especially jobs, demonstrate you have a life outside of school and evidence how much you interact with the outside world. There are, of course, problems with relying on just extracurriculars, too. Some students don’t have access to them because of budgetary constraints, other schools are in high-crime areas and staying after school can be dangerous. Additionally, individuals that are verbose but not necessarily hard workers can improperly play up volunteer or even work experiences with a few taps on the keyboard. Recommendation letters from teachers and employers can further offer outside assessments of your abilities and character. For example, a teacher can speak to your valuable contributions in class, an employer to your work ethic and a coach to your perseverance. Furthermore, recommendations can be a useful check on other metrics because they rely on a source other than yourself. This focus also contains imperfections. Recommenders generally only experience you in a particular setting, such as classroom and workplace, and often cannot speak to your tendencies in a holistic manner. Certain recommenders also get approached by many people and essentially do a cut-and-paste job with their recommendation letters to keep up. We acknowledge that, individually, each metric has its own pitfalls, but together they provide a much better picture of who a prospective applicant is than any standardized test ever will.

ACE IT program leaves much room for improvement MAX FISHER Opinions columnist

your attitude, and you wind up screaming at each other on a street corner. But once everything is said and done, you’re able to hug it out, put the past behind you and enjoy the rest of the weekend. As you take a moment to decide which of the following groups your dad fits into, also ponder this fact: The one thing all of them have in common is that they came to the University to spend time with us, their children. For those lucky enough to have spent time with their fathers over this past weekend, know that you are truly blessed to have that person in your life. Though the parties and the football games are fun, none of it matters as long as you’re spending time with the person that made it all possible for you: your dad.

et’s face it fellow freshmen, did ACE IT really change your views on underage drinking? I understood that the program was trying to highlight what underage drinkers need to know, but I think there is a better way of doing so. I believe that the ACE IT program did a poor job of instilling worthwhile information about drinking in many of the freshmen it attempted to educate. For those of you who do not know, ACE IT stands for Alcohol Culture Explored Interactive Theatre. The program uses videos to showcase common situations that revolve around drinking. After each of the videos, there is a student discussion on the presented topics. For example, one of the videos shows an upperclassman taking advantage of a girl by pressuring her to drink more and more until she is heavily inebriated. At that point he takes her back to his room and the rest is left up to the imagination. As the video ended, a tsunami of laughter washed across the room, as well as small snickers from the peer facilitators themselves. Aside from the fact that the peer facilitators should not be laughing at all, and considering that everyone else’s reaction to this video was sheer laughter, students clearly are not responding correctly to the serious nature of this very real occurrence. Additionally, their reactions show that the video itself is not the most realistic representation of how it would go down. The laughter portrays that students are blowing off the program because they have heard and seen the material over and over again. They’re essentially desensitized to this style of promoting awareness and prevention. I recall that during the ACE IT program, basically everyone gave short, oneword answers to every question that the proctors would ask. This ruined the kind of discussion that the program promoted because there was a similar routine after each video: We would laugh, the facilitator would ask a question, we would stare at each other, she would encourage us to talk and then finally one of us would utter something slightly related to the question. Walking back with my friends from the ACE IT program, we all joked about the situations presented to us, and the poor discussions that followed. Moving forward, I think that it is in the University’s best interest to look into their ACE IT program to see whether there is room for improvement in how certain topics are presented to students and how strictly discussions are monitored. Being one of the biggest party schools in the nation can only mean that there are a lot of parties, and where there are parties there is a high chance that there is alcohol. Clearly, there will always be a need for a program that gets students to learn and discuss the drinking culture here on campus. Although my particular group found the program and discussions unproductive, one suggestion could be to better acknowledge that some students — such as international students — may not be so familiar with the drinking culture that exists in America, let alone at our University. Making sure that international students understand American drinking culture and how to deal with it is more important than ever as the University enrolls its largest crop of international students for the Class of 2017. To say that no other country has a drinking culture would be ludicrous, but in America there is definitely a unique relationship that exists between college students and alcohol, especially at this university. So, when you have a room full of students laughing at the material presented, international students may think that because no one is taking this seriously, it is not really that important to follow or pay attention. Maybe another solution is to bring in guest speakers who have really gone through some of these things, and in that situation I can’t see too many students laughing in the face of someone who was taken advantage of. Bringing reality to students about the decisions they may make in regards to drinking might have a more concrete, emotional effect on how they view the drinking culture here on campus. Nevertheless, to say that the ACE IT program is completely ineffective would be a false statement. While it may not spark any real change in thought for many students who already cling tightly to their preconceived notions and thoughts about alcohol, it still gets every new freshman and transfer student to sit down and watch realistic situations regarding the American drinking culture unfold in front of them.

What type of dad is your dad? KATE CULLEN Opinions columnist

W

ith a football win under our belts and memories to last a lifetime, Dad’s Weekend once again has come and gone until next fall. Weekend festivities included attending the football game, eating dinner at one of the many fine bars on campus and going for Sunday morning brunch before departing for home. Many of these activities were sprinkled with some drinking that may have caused dads to dance on the tables of Red Lion or swing around the poles at Joe’s — so it’s important to take a moment to reflect on the past weekend to decide exactly what type of dad your dad is. The first type of dad is the former frat star. This dad arrives at Dad’s Weekend with one purpose and one purpose only: to relive the glory days. With his croakies securely in place and his Sperrys tied tightly, he approaches the beer pong with a competitive spirit that current students marvel at.

Though he had a good time back in the day, those days are long behind him, and he chooses more conservative ways to pass the time. Children of these types of dads usually avoid the classy bars on campus and are on their best behavior for such a weekend. Now, if you have any reason to believe that this next dad may describe your own father, serious measures must be taken. Conversations need to be had. The next kind of dad is the flirty dad. Yes, these are the divorcees at the peak of their mid-life crises who bought motorcycles and never looked back. They come onto campus guns blazing and ready to flirt inappropriately with girls much too young for them. Symptoms of this kind of dad include, but are not limited to: awkward compliments, hugging for a second too long and buying excessive amounts of drinks. The final characterization is the emotional dad that wants to hash out all of your issues in one weekend. Though he comes with a positive attitude, one snide comment takes the weekend in a whole different direction filled with shouting and tears over things that happened while you were in high school. This is the dad who has had enough with

The one thing all of them have in common is that they came to the University to spend time with us, their children. This dad is the life of the party and provides constant entertainment to those around him because he knows how to have a good time. After all, he’s had experience. He will pose for all of the Instagram pictures and may even do the splits after he’s won a game of beer pong, just for old time’s sake. Though he is an excellent flippy cup competitor, he may get a little carried away and walk the fine line between embarrassing and cool. The next kind of dad is on the other end of the spectrum from the former frat star — the uptight dad. He stands idly by as his son or daughter tries to rope him into the festivities, reaffirming that he is an adult now and will not engage in such childish activities. His tucked in shirt with a belt that is one loop too tight makes him stick out among the carefree students that crowd the college scene.

we started doing this work that literally six months, 12 months, longer. Now, (it’s) a week, two weeks.” Morey admitted that the FYCARE program cannot take all of the credit for this trend, but she stressed that the existence of the program shows students that the University is giving students the necessary tools if they or one of their friends should experience sexual assault. “I think that being at an institution that takes this issue seriously really helps students to recognize that there’s something they can do,” she said. However, it is important to realize, Morey pointed out, that facilitators only have two hours up against the students’ 18 years of social indoctrination. Therefore, in the future, the Women’s Resource Center is working toward gathering feedback before and after the workshop to gauge students’ knowledge of what constitutes consent, what to say to a friend who has experienced sexual assault, what resources are available and how their perceptions may have changed as a result of FYCARE. “I feel like for the people who pay attention and give it credit ... it probably will have a lasting memory for them. Just get them to be safe and more aware,” said Kyle Gomez, freshman in LAS. Stejskal said that as a facilitator, he measured the impact of the workshop based on students’ reactions. He would have students come up to him afterward and thank him for sharing his story. McLay also said that receiving emails from students grateful to FYCARE for the chance to open up the conversation about something that they were not to exposed to in high school reflects that FYCARE is doing its job. “F YCA R E is primarily authored by students, and their voice is so important,” McLay said. “It is only successful if it’s relatable to students, and so as coordinator of the FYCARE program, I always have my eye on that.”

Comedian and actress Marietta Sirleaf, better known as Retta, performs at the Illini Union on Tuesday.

Retta from ‘Parks and Rec’ entertains at Union BY SAHER KHAN STAFF WRITER

The Illini Union on Tuesday was full of giddy and grinning students, who all came out to see comedian and actress Retta. Best known for playing Donna Meagle on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” Marietta Sirleaf, better known simply as Retta, originally didn’t plan to go into acting and stand-up comedy. She attended Duke University as a pre-med student, and while she was studying for her MCAT, Retta decided she wanted to pursue acting. “I have always loved making people laugh. I started doing standup because by the time I graduated and was getting ready for (medical) school and was studying for the MCAT, I decided ‘maybe I want to do TV,’” Retta said. “I wanted my own sitcom. I didn’t know any better. I just knew that there were all these comics who had their own sitcoms, so I thought if I do standup, I could get my own sitcom.” On Tuesday at 8 p.m., Retta strutted onto the stage in her shiny leather boots and greeted the crowd with a wave and a smile. Before she even broke into her routine, she called up a girl from the audience whom she had promised a picture and took a selfie with her on the girl’s camera. Her casual attitude quickly set the mood for a comfortable stand-up set but had the audience riled up. Retta, who said she suffers from nerves when traveling, seemed completely at ease on stage. “I am a whore for attention. I like to make people laugh and be around people who are having a good time, so I try to do a fun show and that makes getting on a plane the next day a little

better,” Retta said. Before the show, Retta shared some insight about her character, Donna, and what to expect from the upcoming season of “Parks and Recreation.” “I think this season, Mike Schur, our executive producer and creator, said that I will get more screen time, so we’ll learn more about Donna,” Retta said. “I think by the end of the season we’ll have a better idea of who she is. She could very well still be an enigma, but we will get to see more of her playful side.” Retta’s stand-up Wednesday incorporated many aspects of her life experiences. She talked about her laziness, her friend’s wedding and a bad experience she had at KFC, and her closing act was a popular skit she performed on “Conan” about listening to classical music. “I like to leave the audience with a simple, good time,” Retta said. “Just like when you go to a party and you want to enjoy your time at the party, I want the audience to enjoy that hour.” Aaron Beasley, director of special events on the Illini Union Board and senior in LAS, made the proposal to bring Retta to the University. “Nick Offerman came before, and it was extremely successful because everyone wanted to come. Since that was such a popular event and with Nick being from ‘Parks & (Recreation),’ we thought Retta would be a good person to have this year,” Beasley said. Offerman will be performing at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on Oct. 26, Beasley said that his goal for IUB this year is to bring the stu-

dents events that they want to see and can relate to. “Knowing that people liked this show is why I wanted to pursue it. If someone walks away with saying something like, ‘Retta was a great way for my freshman year to start,’ I’ll feel like that’s a mission accomplished,” Beasley said. Beasley, along with his program adviser Jared Eakins, put in a lot of effort to bring the actress and comedian to campus. While Eakins reached out to Retta’s agent and drafted contracts, Beasley was in charge of the logistics and marketing of the event. His main job was to make sure people attended. “There are 40,000 students on this campus, but it’s really hard trying to get them all to pay attention to things that are going on here,” Beasley said. His goal was to see around 400 people at the event. Their efforts were not in vain, for the Illini Union I-Room was mostly filled and had an enthusiastic crowd. Laughter was frequent among the attendees at the fullhour show. People lingered after the show, joking with one another about their experience. “I loved it. It was a different character than Donna and not what I was expecting, but still really funny,” said Daniel Vanderbosch, senior in LAS. Vanderbosch, who was on crutches, was called out by Retta during the show when she yelled, “What happened to you, crip?!” “She played the crowd really well,” Vanderbos said. “It got real for a second when she did that.”

SEVENTEEN YEARS OF FYCARE PAYS OFF

Workshop educates students and empowers survivors BY MAGGIE O’CONNOR STAFF WRITER

First Year Campus Acquaintance Rape Education is two hours of bashing men. It targets the Greek Community. It singles people out. It does not apply to me. Rick Stejskal, FYCARE program coordinator and first-year graduate student in Social Work, and Molly McLay, assistant director of inclusion and intercultural relations at the Women’s Resource Center, acknowledged that FYCARE, a subset of the center, has faced all of these criticisms over the course of its 17 years as a mandatory campus program for all freshmen and, most recently, transfer students. Yet the program directors and facilitators believe they have focused on the same goal since the program’s earliest inception in 1982: responding to students’ needs. Before FYCARE became mandatory, Pat Morey, director of the Women’s Resource Center, said she was hired to coordinate efforts through the Counseling Center, along with other campus representatives, to address sexual assault prevention and education. Even-

tually Morey and her colleagues teamed up with students, and their efforts gave way to a grassroots movement to educate the student body on sexual assault prevention. It was under somber circumstances that FYCARE ultimately became a mandated program. On Halloween in 1995, a University research computer programmer, Pia Gratton, was raped and murdered in the basement of the Social Work Building on campus. “Unfortunately, sometimes it happens like this, where a monumental event will trigger organizations taking greater power — and that’s what happened here,� Morey explained. “The chancellor at that time was looking for what to do to keep this kind of tragedy from happening again.� As a result, FYCARE became officially required for all incoming freshmen in 1996. In the 20122013 academic year, 92 percent of students fulfi lled the FYCARE requirement. The outlying 8 percent includes students who may not have completed the academic year, said McLay, the licensed social worker who oversees the dayto-day function of FYCARE.

Daniel Hug, junior in Business, is a transfer student who was required to complete the workshop this year. Though he found the material repetitive from a similar program he completed before transferring to the University, he said that the information is useful for incoming students. “Two hours really isn’t that long if you think about it,� he said. “It’s a very loaded issue, so it’s pretty important.� Though they do still follow the original format of a large group presentation and breakout group discussion, FYCARE facilitators and directors have consistently worked to modify the program and make it more engaging based on student feedback. Under the leadership of Alex Nelson, senior in LAS, the program’s script underwent major changes this past summer, McLay said. The adjustments to the scripted part of the program are intended to make the discussed scenarios gender neutral, Stejskal said. Additionally, students can sign up for a men and women’s section, or

If you are sexually assaulted, remember that you can make all the decisions when it comes to reporting the crime. “Sexual assault is the one crime where the victim has all of the options,� Detective Robert Murphy said. “Even if they give the suspect’s name, they can say, ‘I want nothing to happen, but I feel the need to report it.’ It’s completely whatever the victim wants to do, which is great because it empowers the victim.�

Q You may choose to, but are not required to, speak to police or other law enforcement officials. Q At the hospital, you may be advised by the Sexual Assault Response Team, made up of a medical professional, a law enforcement official and a Rape Advocacy and Counseling and Education Services, or RACES, advocate. You are ultimately the decision-maker in the process, and have the right to waive any of these services.

DARYL QUITALIG THE DAILY ILLINI

Running back shows off skill in multiple formations, including play as a wide receiver in Dad’s Weekend win over Miami (OH) BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success. In the Illinois football team’s dominant 50-14 over Miami (Ohio), the Illini once again showcased their new high-powered offense. While the entire offense was clicking for much of the game, running back Josh Ferguson only needed one half to make his mark on the contest. Despite playing two quarters and one play — Ferguson was on the sidelines the second half for all but one because of the lopsided score — the running back tallied 148 yards and a touchdown on 13 touches.

Efficiency and versatility have been Ferguson’s two calling cards in the Illinois offensive system under Bill Cubit. Ferguson can move between a traditional running back position next to the quarterback in shotgun, to split out like a wide receiver in an empty set, back to running back in an under center I-formation. “Coach (Cubit) puts us in the best positions; he’s a genius,” Ferguson said. “He knows how to get me on pretty good matchups with linebackers and different guys like that. I’m appreciative of that.” It is that flexibility in the offense that keeps Ferguson on the field. The sophomore might not have ideal size or strength of a classic between-the-tackles rusher like teammate Donovonn Young, but before defenses can worry about stopping the scat back, they have to find him in the formation first.

While Ferguson has heard himself compared to Reggie Bush, he isn’t on the former Heisman winner’s level of talent or skill; however, his elusiveness and multiplicity on offense does draw a resemblance. “That’s what I hear,” Ferguson said with a laugh. “That’s a pretty cool comparison, I’ll take it.” He was doing his best Bush impersonation with a litany of spins, jukes and cuts that left multiple missed tackles in his wake on every touch. On his only touchdown of the day against Miami, a cutback move to shake a defender elicited a “wow” from head coach Tim Beckman on the sideline after the play. This season, Ferguson is second on the Fighting Illini with 196 yards rushing but leads the team in catches with 12 and receiving yards with 262. His receiving numbers leads the country

While this has been Ferguson’s best season for statistics, and staying healthy — he took a medical redshirt in 2011 for a hamstring injury and missed three games last season — it’s a change to the depth chart that has made 2013 memorable. Ferguson was a backup to his classmate Young each of the past three seasons but after a victory over Southern Illinois where the Illini netted just 49 yards rushing, he was vaulted to “co-starter” on the depth chart along with Young and was the first running back on the field to start games against Washington and Miami. “It’s awesome,” Ferguson said. “During the summer, you don’t work to be a

ay bye-bye to your fantasy stars. Of course, it’s only for one week of the season. But starting last week with the Packers and the Panthers, bye weeks have begun, and that means shifting fantasy players around weekly to accommodate holes in your lineup. Like it or not, the bye week is crucial even in the fantasy world. While it doesn’t provide owners with a week off to recuperate (or gloat), it does play an definite role in maintaining a dynasty. If owners want to be successful, their play strategies have to incorporate a method in dealing with the pesky bye weeks. Now, I’m not here to break down and analyze how bye weeks affect fantasy players and teams. This isn’t about how a week off might have benefited the struggling Packers. It’s about you. It’s about what you can control. And, as always, it’s about how much you gamble. The typical method for fantasy owners is a careless one. More times than not, owners sign into their leagues and are smacked with the realization that they are down two receivers and a tight end this week. Then the panic sets in. You scramble to the waiver wires, make risky pickups and, before you know it, you’re unconvincingly rooting for players you barely knew existed prior to this week. You could get lucky and you could win the week, but wouldn’t you rather replace “could” with “should”? Another feasible option is to just accept the bye week for what it is and take the hit. For someone with Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas, Week 9 is going to be about as cheerful as the final season of Breaking Bad. But how can losing a single week compare to the 285 points those four have combined for in the first four weeks of play? If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in this situation, good for you. For the most part, you get off easy in these bye weeks. But you should be wary of such a mind set if you don’t have an army of Broncos to lead the charge. Having Matthew Stafford, Reggie Bush and Calvin Johnson might feel secure, but

Honorable mentions

Illinois men’s basketball player Ahmad Starks will miss the 2013-14 season, the athletic department announced Tuesday evening. Starks, who transferred from Oregon State to be closer to his ailing grandmother in his hometown of Chicago, had his hardship waiver request denied by the NCAA. Starks appealed the decision, but the NCAA upheld the original decision. He will now have one year of eligibility remaining for the 2014-15 season. “We are all disappointed with

the decision to deny the waiver and especially feel bad for Ahmad and his family,” head coach John Groce said in a statement. “Ahmad had a compelling case, returning to his home state to be closer to an ailing grandmother who played an instrumental role in raising him; however, we now have to move forward.” Illinois will now be one player short of where it expected to be this season. Starks, a 5-foot-9 point guard, averaged 10.4 points and 2.3 assists per game last season for the Beavers. He also shot 39.5 percent from beyond the arc and would have been a key asset to Groce’s 3-point-heavy offense. Instead, Starks’ role as backup point guard will likely be filled by freshman Jaylon Tate, a three-star point guard from

Simeon Vocational High School in Chicago. Fellow freshmen wings Malcolm Hill and Kendrick Nunn could also play a role in backing up Tracy Abrams. The decision also creates a sticky situation for the Illini in 2014-15. Illinois currently has three committed players in the 2014 class but only two open scholarships for the team, meaning one person, either a commit or current player will not be on scholarship for the Illini next season. The news also makes it more difficult for Illinois to fit five-star power forward Cliff Alexander, who will be visiting campus Oct. 26, onto the roster, though it’s likely Groce would make room for Alexander.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith throws a third-quarter pass against the New York Giants at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on Sunday. The Chiefs won 31-7. having Martellus Bennett and Brandon Marshall could cripple you two weeks in a row. Again, you find yourself looking at your team in terms of “could” instead of “should.” Honestly, the best option is to familiarize yourself with your players’ bye weeks in advance. Have a battle plan when Philip Rivers is out in Week 8. Actively cycle players on and off your bench for the best fit in the weeks to come. Keep tabs on the waiver wires, and when it all goes down, be ready to swipe the one you’ve had your eye on. Most importantly, though, don’t just have a plan for next week, have a plan for the season. Week 4 is over and done, and after the way the Bears performed Sunday, I couldn’t be happier. It’s a new week and with a new week comes new pickups and drops from your always-faithful fantasy doctor:

PICKUPS Alex Smith (quarterback, Chiefs, owned in 45.6 per-

cent of ESPN leagues) — Who would have guessed after being shoved out of San Francisco by Colin Kaepernick that Alex Smith would be ranked 10th in the league for fantasy points? Week to week, Smith has thrived in Andy Reid’s new system in Kansas City, and most fantasy owners are missing out on the earnings. He has his flaws with an average 60.3 percent completion rate, but he’s thrown more touchdowns (7) and fewer picks (2) than some of the big names like Joe Flacco (5 and 7), Robert Griffin III (6 and 4) and Russell Wilson (6 and 3). With the bye weeks in full swing, Smith looks good on any bench. Nate Washington (wide receiver, Titans, 17.8 percent) — I can hardly believe how few people have claimed Nate Washington since Sunday’s performance. Following up an eight-catch, 131-yard performance in Week 3, Washington grabbed four in the air for 105

hen Rose takes the floor Saturday in the Bulls’ first preseason game, the sight of him wearing his patented No. 1 jersey instead of an Armani suit will be almost surreal. It’s been about 17 months since he last played an NBA game, but it’s felt even longer. The Bulls held their own without their MVP, fighting their way to 45 wins and the fifth seed in the East. The Bulls embraced the underdog role en route to a grueling, seven-game triumph over the Brooklyn Nets. To see this team win a series without Rose (or Deng and Hinrich for the tail end of the series, not to mention a hobbled Joakim Noah) was inspiring and even gutwrenching at times. It was hard to not think of what this team could’ve accomplished if Rose returned in time for the Bulls’ series against the Heat. But he didn’t, despite sounding and looking healthy, and the Bulls faltered in five games to the eventual champs. The underdogs bit off more than they could chew. But the Bulls aren’t underdogs anymore. This is the best Bulls team since Michael Jordan was still shooting hoops at the United Center. Everything is fi nally coming together for the Bulls. Jimmy Butler will provide the Bulls with its first competent shooting guard since Ben Gordon, Deng and Carlos Boozer aren’t nursing any preseason injuries or illnesses, Joakim Noah has developed into one of the best centers in the league and, of course, Rose is back. If you need a reminder of how good the Bulls have been with Rose in the lineup, here are few statistics to absorb: The Bulls are 50-9 in regular-season games

in which Rose, Deng, Boozer and Noah play together. Yes, through three seasons the quartet has only played in 59 regular season games out of a possible 230. The Bulls have led the NBA in regular wins the last two seasons Rose has played (62 in 2010-11 and 50 in the shortened season of 2011-12). And for you advanced stats nerds out there, Chicago’s offensive efficiency with Rose (points scored per 100 possessions) was 107.5 in 201011 and 107.6 in 2011-12. Both of those numbers would’ve equated to a top-five offense this past season. Without Rose, the Bulls’ offensive efficiency was 98.9 in 2010-11, 102.1 in 2011-12 and 100.4 this past season. Those offensive efficiencies would’ve ranked in the bottom half of the league last year. The Bulls have a top-ranked offense with Rose and became an anemic scoring unit without him. If Chicago can stay healthy the Bulls figure to be among the top teams in the league. Health becomes even more of a concern since the Chicago front office decided to take a break this offseason. Mike Dunleavy Jr., after signing a sizzling two-year, $6.5 million deal, ended up being the Bulls’ most significant addition by far this summer. The guy’s a knockdown shooter, converting on 42.8 percent of his 3-pointers last season, but Dunleavy isn’t going to put the Bulls over the top by any means. The Bulls also let postseason heroes Marco Belinelli and Nate Robinson leave even though they will be paid a combined $4.8 million this season. Five Bulls players will make more than that this season, including Taj Gibson, whose four-year, $33 million deal kicks in. The starting lineup will be depended on more than ever this season with the depleted bench, but luckily the Bulls possess one of the most

Since then, though, he’s been on a steady decline. The Giants are 0-4 and we all know Eli will eventually bounce back, but how long will it take? And when the Giants are finally back on track, what’s to make anyone think Myers will get more looks than Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks or even Da’Rel Scott? He’s a bad bet with a fleeting chance for the occasional good game. Final verdict? Pitch him to the waivers and let someone else stress over him. T.Y. Hilton (wide receiver, Colts, 97.8 percent) — Since his huge six-catch, 124-yard game in Week 2, expectations have skyrocketed for T.Y. Hilton. Well, I’m finally going to put my foot down and say that 97.8 percent is way too high. Andrew Luck is a versatile quarterback. He’s thrown to 12 targets so far on the year, three for touchdowns. I firmly believe he has the potential to become one of the greats. I do, however, think that Hilton is just too risky, even at the flex. He may flare up one or two weeks this season, but don’t let that stop you from doing what you’ve got to do. He’s not even good enough to fill bye week holes, let alone hold an actual position on your roster. Let him go.

The label “starter” for Illinois running backs might only mean who is on the field for the first play, because of how much Young and Ferguson switch in and out, but Ferguson took advantage of being on the field from the very first drive against the Redhawks. Illinois’ first offensive play was a run to Ferguson for 13 yards and

a quick first down. Second play, quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase found Ferguson for a 14-yard gain on a quick pass play. After an incompletion, the Illini went back to Ferguson for rushes of seven and five yards to move the sticks. Next play, Scheelhaase found

Ferguson again on a screen for 25 yards down to the Redhawks 11-yard line. The Illini would score three plays later, but on the game’s first six plays the sophomore running back already had five touches for 64 yards and got the Illinois offense on the board early in the game.

highs in points (11.9), rebounds (11.1), assists (4.0), blocks (2.1) and steals per game (1.2) last season. Noah emerged as perhaps the best center in the league last season with Dwight Howard enduring a down year. If you happened to miss Noah’s 24-point, 14-rebound, six-block performance in Game 7 against the Nets, go YouTube it. Add

into the mix Jimmy Buckets, who averaged 14.5 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while shooting 45.8 percent from downtown as a starter last season (20 games), and the Bulls are in business. Even though the Bulls have improved greatly, the competition throughout the league has only gotten better.

There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the Bulls’ season. Rose returning to his pre-injury self is no slam dunk. Saturday, even though it’s only a preseason game, Rose could provide some relief with a good showing. But if he doesn’t look ready and his surgically repaired knee is still giving him prob-

lems, people will start casting doubts on the Bulls’ chances this season. Without Rose, the Bulls have no chance, no matter how improved the supporting cast may be. A preseason game has never been so important.

Illini soccer defense a work in progress Coach Rayfield focusing on communication, consistency

BY ALEX ORTIZ STAFF WRITER

Nebraska’s junior forward Mayme Conroy had her way with the Illinois defense in last Sunday’s soccer match. She scored just seconds into the second half and again in the 61st minute to cement the 3-2 Cornhuskers win. Although the Illinois soccer team has been improving steadily on defense, it still has not displayed the consistency head coach Janet Rayfi eld expects as the season nears its midpoint. Conroy was able to take advantage of miscommunications by the Illinois backline during the match. With a varied group of players on the backline (two seniors and two freshman), communication is vital. “I think it’s coming along,” Rayfield said. “One of the things (about) marking in the box, the problem we had over the weekend, is really a communication piece of it and that starts from back to forward.” Rayfield said horizontal communication among the defenders has been good. From senior Kassidy Brown on the right, to freshman Casey Conine and senior Christina Farrell in the middle, to sophomore Amy

Feher on the left, the unit has shown improvement. What Conroy stressed was a need for improvement in vertical communication, which includes the midfielders up the field. Conroy was moving up and down from the midfield to Illinois’ defensive third. This made it difficult for midfielders, like sophomore Taylor Peterson, to be able to know when to pass off defensive duties to an actual defender, especially when the midfielders are returning from an offensive possession. Peterson tends to stay back as a sort of defensive midfielder, but Rayfield likes to send several players, even at least one defender on set pieces and other scoring opportunities. With players like Peterson covering a lot of ground, when the opponent starts a counterattack, one miscommunication can prove disastrous. One of the other vital communication lanes is between freshman goalkeeper Claire Wheatley and the defenders. Wheatley’s progress in goal scoring has become obvious to even the veterans. “Even when the ball is way up on the attack end, you can hear Claire making sure that we have the girls on the outside who we can’t see,” Brown said. “So keep-

ing just constantly talking, even if it’s just ‘Shift to the left,’ or ‘Shift to the right,’ (we’re) always being connected with each other.” Wheatley has had to make a substantial improvement with not just her voice but with the words she uses. She said it was the details, like vocabulary, to which she had to adjust. Certain words are used differently in the college game than from what Wheatley was used to. “I feel like I’ve always been communicating,” Wheatley said. “But it’s also about how effective you are in your communication and how the word choices you use are taken by the rest of your team.” One other form of communication Rayfield emphasized to her defense is what body language says to the opponent. Quick turns in momentum can affect players’ confidence. Against Nebraska, after Illinois had leveled the score 2-2 behind Jannelle Flaws’ two goals, the Huskers took the lead again. Wheatley and the defense make it a point to shake off a defensive lapse or a miscommunication quickly and not make their frustration obvious. “If you’re down on the ground or if I dive for the ball and it ends up going into the goal, you’re

When the opponent has the ball, everyone from the forwards to the goalkeeper are defending. Rayfield expects her freshmen to play like veterans and her veter-

ans to take on the role of leaders. The team is focusing on issues like vertical communication to help improve defense, not just in the backline but as a complete 11-player unit. “We’re relying on some upperclassmen in wide, sporadic places,” Rayfield said. “And we’ve got to get more of a voice, collectively, all over the field.”

Back on ice: Senior captains return to Illini hockey’s lineup at pivotal time Bostock, Evans both expected to play in home weekend series against conference foe Iowa State

BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

The Illinois hockey team is looking forward to having its senior captain Austin Bostock and senior assistant captain Mike Evans back on the ice this weekend when it squares off against conference foe Iowa State. Bostock is returning from a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder, which he played through all of last season before having surgery last March. He was cleared to play last Monday and has been participating in full-contact practice. When asked if his shoulder is 100 percent, Bostock responded with no hesitation. “Yes, it’s fi ne,” he said. “I’ll be in the lineup for sure.” Bostock didn’t dress for last weekend’s series against Michigan State because he didn’t think he was fully acclimated to being back on the ice yet. “I got cleared on Monday, so that gave me only three days of practice before the weekend,” Bostock said. “I haven’t had contact since March, so I wanted to give it a little bit of extra practice to make sure I was 100 percent.” Head coach Nick Fabbrini agreed Bostock need-

ed some more time in practice before seeing significant time on the ice. “We didn’t want to chance it too early, so we kept him out an extra week and he’ll be back in there this weekend ready to go,” Fabbrini said. Even though Bostock will finally make his return to game action this weekend, Fabbrini does not plan on him playing overly extensive minutes. “(Bostock) has been working really hard all summer to get back in shape, but he’s not in game shape yet,” Fabbrini said. “He’s probably not going to play quite as many shifts as Evans does because we’ve got four lines and they’re all going to play this weekend. But I don’t expect either one of them to have a problem. They’re both good skaters and are both in pretty decent shape for not having played so far, so I think it’ll just take them a game or two to get their legs back underneath them.” Evans suffered a shoulder injury after falling over summer vacation. He returned in the second game against Michigan State but only played on two power play shifts late in the game. When asked about his shoulder, Evans sounded just as confident as Bostock. “It’s great, I’m feeling fi ne,” Evans said. “I just

started going full contact today in practice, and I took a couple of hits, nothing too serious. It felt strong, and I feel like I’m ready to go.” Fabbrini expects Evans to get the number of minutes he usually sees this weekend but will keep an eye on how ready he looks. “Evans is going to go back in and gets the regular amount of his time, so I expect him to be fi ne,” Fabbrini said. “We’ll have to watch his conditioning and things because he’s defi nitely not in game shape yet, and you can only get into game shape by playing in games.” The Illini are getting their senior captains back at a pivotal time in the season, with conference play just beginning and a schedule that will only get tougher. “We’re playing all top-10 teams for the next six weeks, so I expect all those teams to be a lot better than we’ve played so far,” Fabbrini said. “So, any time you get seniors and captains back it’s big, both for play on the ice and in the locker room. I know everybody’s excited to have those guys back.” Bostock said he’s been inspired by his teammates’ play so far and admitted he’s had this weekend marked on his calendar for a return all along.

“The guys have been playing great, obviously,” Bostock said. “They’re putting up points without me, which is great to see. I was really aspiring for Oct. 4, that was really my goal to get back by, and I got it. Our (conference) is the best in the nation. We have five or six teams in the top nine, so it’s really easy to get up for these games.”

Bench role for Bulls’ Hinrich could prevent injuries, provide depth Shooting guard back after 30 missed games, 5 separate injuries BY K.C. JOHNSON CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO — Kirk Hinrich’s injuryplagued 2012-13 season didn’t end when the Bulls bowed out of the playoffs. “I found out the day after we lost to Miami that I had pneumonia,� Hinrich said over the weekend. One month and 10 lost pounds later, Hinrich began to work himself back into shape, a condition he hopes to keep after missing 22 regular-season games to four separate injuries and the final eight playoff games to a ruptured left calf. Hinrich’s projected role — backing up

Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler at guard — could aid in his quest to have a healthier 2013-14. “I’m excited,� Hinrich said. “I’ve come off the bench before and enjoyed it. I feel I can come in and bring energy. That will be a good role for me. “Most of the injuries last year were just bad luck, so I try not to put too much stock into it. But early in last year’s preseason, I had a lot of my small muscle groups hurting. So I’m just trying to do a lot more flexibility and functional stuff in the weight and training rooms before and after practice to prevent that.� Indeed, one of Hinrich’s regular-season injuries was freakish — a burst bursa sac in his right elbow that became infected. And who can forget Hinrich’s final game, when he tied a franchise record by playing 59 minutes, 36 seconds in the triple-overtime victory over the Nets in Game 4? Hinrich posted 18 points, 14 assists, four

rebounds and three steals while relentlessly hounding Deron Williams despite suffering what became a season-ending injury in the first half. Hinrich theorizes his weakened condition that led to pneumonia contributed to him not being able to overcome the calf injury. Whatever the case, there’s no denying Hinrich’s impact when he remained healthy enough to play. Hinrich’s pneumonia forced him to begin his offseason preparation earlier because he had lost so much weight. As usual, he feels refreshed and rejuvenated entering his 11th season. “Kirk can start, he can come off the bench, he can play point guard, shooting guard, you can play him with a lot of different combinations,� coach Tom Thibodeau said. “And his experience is invaluable. He’s a vocal leader, and the team executes well on both ends when he’s on the floor.�

Jeffery shows his big-play potential in Bears’ road loss to Lions BY DAN WIEDERER CHICAGO TRIBUNE

DETROIT — Alshon Jeffery will have his chances. The Bears have made that clear over the season’s first month, relying on the second-year receiver to tap into his big-play abilities. And in an otherwise frustrating 40-32 road loss to the Lions Sunday, Jeffery may have provided the most encouraging effort, catching five passes for 107 yards and adding a 27-yard run on a first-half end-around. “It’s the same thing we’ve been talking about all year. Even last year,� fellow receiver Brandon Marshall said. “This guy’s got bigplay potential in him. He made some plays. And if he can continue to build off of that, man, he’s going to be unstoppable.� Quarterback Jay Cutler continues developing trust in Jeffery, a reality made clear in the fourth quarter when Jeffery broke open in the end zone then dropped an easy 14-yard TD pass. Cutler, though, went right back to him on the next snap with Jeffery delivering a score with a far greater degree of difficulty. With Lions rookie Darius Slay applying blanket coverage, Jeffery used his strong hands and body control to snatch the ball away. “Exact same coverage,� Cutler said. “I just wanted to go back to him. “They were pushing to (Marshall) a lot today — a lot of safety over the top toward him. It made it difficult to get him the ball. So I thought it was great to see Alshon step up.� Jeffery had an eventful afternoon overall, providing his first big play with the 27-yard run early in the second quarter. Perhaps just as impressive, on the next snap, he cleared the way for Matt Forte’s 53-yard score with solid downfield blocks against Slay and safety Glover Quin. “It was a great block,� Jeffery said. “I’ve got to watch it on film. I just ran off the ball, blocked my guy and pushed him into the safety and both fell down.� Jeffery was also targeted on two of Cutler’s three interceptions. On the latter, Cutler’s throw sailed over Jeffery’s head and right to safety Louis Delmas. Earlier, Delmas broke on a pass over the middle and ripped it from the Bears receiver. “It was like a bang-bang play,� Jeffery said. “It hit my hands and then he just came (and took it).� Jeffery delivered three of the Bears’ five longest gains Sunday, including a 36-yard grab up the right sideline with 8 seconds left before halftime, putting Robbie Gould in position for his 28-yard field goal. Even with a frustrating loss, Jeffery provided something to build on.
