GEO requests NO PLACE TO CALL THEIR OWN mediator to bargain with administration Employees remain working under expired contract BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

Marching Illini looking for their own practice field BY CHRIS SIMON

Unsustainable production costs because of this year’s drought and a consistent oversupply of pigs have created a crisis within the pig industry. Big bucks for bacon are expected ahead, and in response, consumers may have to acquire new tastes. Michael Ellis, professor of swine genetics and management, said corn and soybeans are the primary components of pig feed, which account for 70 percent of the costs associated with producing pork. As a result of this year’s drought, the United States Department of Agriculture estimates that this year’s corn and soybean harvest will respectively yield at 10.7 and 2.63 billion bushels — the smallest average yields of corn and soybeans since 2003 and

1996 . Ellis said pressure from the decrease in the supply of corn and soybeans, coupled with an “increase in the demand for ethanol and also the export market,” have escalated feed prices to very high levels. Poultry, beef and dairy industries will also suffer from high feed costs, but tighter controls over the livestock supply by larger, more consolidated companies and the use of other feed components, will dampen these effects. He said the pig industry, which consists of many independent operators, will have difficulty controlling the supply and is sure to suffer the worst of the increase in feed prices. At a time when costs to maintain pigs are going to be at a historically high level, farmers are going to get the

Lucas Sykes, trombonist and sophomore in LAS, said he recognizes the need for a
standard football field for the band to call home. “Consistency is huge when you have so much to do in so little time,” he said. “We shouldn’t need to worry about this when we have too much else to worry about. We realize the University has done a lot to help us, but it would make it physically easier.” Houser conveyed that the

lowest price for their pigs because of a slight oversupply, Ellis said. “It’s supply and demand,” he said. “These two things coming together create a crisis where producers are losing a lot of money.” The USDA estimates pork production for 2013 will fall below both 2011 and 2012 numbers at 22.9 billion pounds. Farmers will likely respond to rising costs of production by reducing the number of sows. In the short term, there is no scarcity of hogs, which is why the price is currently low. Consumers will still be

The price of bacon will increase significantly in the following year as the industry faces the rising cost of feed. Also, there is expected to be a shortage of pork in upcoming years. Since 2006, the price of corn and soybeans, which are fed to hogs, has gone up, leading to an increase in the price of pork. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010

Marching Illini are forced to switch practice sites during rehearsal weeks. Rehearsals begin Tuesdays at Memorial Stadium but on Wednesdays move to the open space behind the Business Instructional Facility, on Thursdays to Huff Hall, and on Fridays back to the open space, unless Huff Hall is available. “Every three to five years, we’d stay on one spot and then move on,” Houser said. These makeshift practice sites undergo normal wear and tear of the grass, he said. The band used the South Quad as its main practice location last year, but they can’t use the space this year because the University is reseeding and maintaining the grass. Houser said he thinks a new facility should have artificial turf to make it the most costeffective. His hope is the turf can endure all 350 band members treading on it. However, Annie Fowlkes,

niversity officials are discussing the need for a Marching Illini practice fi eld as the band has not had one since its creation in 1907. “Everyone said we would like to get a space,” said Barry Houser, director of athletic bands and the Harding Symphonic Band. “This thing is about 30 to 50 years too late.” The Marching Illini perform seven or eight halftime shows at home games during the football season. According to Big Ten marching band websites, almost every other Big Ten university has either a practice field solely for their marching band or access to the school’s home football field on a regular basis. Indiana University is the only exception, and its band, the Marching Hundred, has raised over half the funds needed for a new $4.5 million facility. Without their own field, the

MARCHING ILLINI FROM PAGE 1A only factor holding back a proper practice facility for the Marching Illini now is space. The University is considering where a facility the size of a football fi eld could be placed on campus. Houser also said a meeting with University officials will be held in the next couple of weeks with the goal of forming a more concrete, long-term plan. “Our tradition outlives all of theirs (other Big Ten schools),” Sykes said. “This is where marching band started.”

GEO FROM PAGE 1A a timely manner, and a mediator is essential to productive communication,” a GEO press release stated. Although the GEO asked the University to fi le a joint request for a mediator to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, Tate said University administrators rejected the proposal. Tate said the GEO thinks the University was trying to stall the discussion of these issues by doing so. “We were forced to go through a much longer process, petitioning the labor board. If we could have just jointly requested a mediator through FMCS, it would have been a much quicker turnaround,” Tate said. “This just signals the administration is not being serious about communication between the teams.” But campus spokeswoman Robin Ka ler said University administrators feel they have been making progress with the GEO. Kaler said she is confident that the University can work together to move forward. “The important thing to remember is that the University always honors its collective bargaining agreements, and we’ll continue to do that,” Kaler said. At their bargaining session Friday, Tate said administrators presented the GEO with a wager and a health care counter proposals, but neither proposal offered anything valuable. She said their conversations seemed “circular,” and there was still no discussion regarding tuition waivers. She added that the GEO also informed administrators of their petition for a mediator at their bargaining session. “Our membership cares deeply about having their tuition waivers protected from reduction and elimination without being able to at least bargain for it, so that’s where we’re at right now,” Tate said. “The administration won’t talk to us about it, they don’t want to have that conversation, so a mediator is absolutely necessary to make movement in the bargaining room.”

STRIKE FROM PAGE 1A it doesn’t necessarily mean they will decide to strike, said Cathy Mannen, union president. However, the union members are hoping to settle with the Champaign Unit 4 School Board without a strike. “Obviously we want to get results before we get to that point,” Mannen said. “Champaign teachers felt like the board was moving too slow, and taking the strike authorization was something we felt like we needed to do to get the talks moving faster.” The federation hasn’t set a strike date yet and is scheduled to negotiate with the school board Oct. 15 and Oct. 24. Stephanie Stuart, the school district’s community relations coordinator, declined to comment but referred to a statement from Sept. 27 on the district website. “We are surprised and disappointed to learn that the CFT (Champaign Federation of Teachers) Leadership has decided to take a strike vote when we are in the midst of bargaining,” the statement said. “We fi rmly believe that the issues on the table can be resolved through continued collective bargaining. We value and respect our faculty and staff and want to work with the CFT to come to a successful conclusion to these negotiations.” Kaitlyn Henaghan, senior in LAS, observed at a Champaign school last fall. Henaghan said in an email that a strike would impact University students trying to fulfi ll student-teaching hours if the strike were to lead to the cancellation of school days. “I wonder if it will be like the Chicago schools, in which days of school were canceled,” she said. “If this is the case, a lot of University students will most likely have to make up their hours on different days in order to complete their requirements.”

Weather hurts agritourism in Midwest Shortages of apples, corn hurt businesses BY RICK CALLAHAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Devastating spring freezes and a historic drought have stripped some charm from rustic fall destinations, leaving some corn too short to create mazes, orchards virtually devoid of apples and fall colors muted. Extreme weather has forced agritourism ventures in the heart of the country to scramble to hold onto their share of an industry that generates hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Pat Schaefers, who runs Schaefers Corn Maze near Lollie, Ark., hopes visitors to the farm’s two mazes won’t mind that the corn is just 6 to 8 feet this fall — up to 4 feet shorter than the wall of corn families and school groups normally pay to get lost and turnedaround in. “It’s just not up to par,” she said of the corn in her two mazes. “It’s not anything like it’s been in past years.” Sam Brown, who owns A-Maizeing-Farms in Mayfield, Ky., said the summer drought and 100-degree days ruined his farm’s 20-acre corn maze, leaving stalks knee- to waist-high — far too short for use as a maze. Instead, he’s offering a petting zoo, pedal cart races and hay rides. “The object of our maze is to find hidden checkpoints, and our checkpoints literally would have been taller than the corn in some of the fields,” he said. “It would have pretty much been pointless.” For many farms and orchards, autumn is the peak agritourism season as families seek out a taste of rural life with outings to explore corn mazes, take hay rides and pick their own apples or pumpkins. Tourism generated about $566 million for more than 23,000 U.S. farms in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s most recent agriculture census — a survey conducted every five years. But just like farming itself, agritourism can be stung by the weather. Apple orchards across the Midwest and New England suffered huge losses when blos-

Frost and drought damaged apples hang on a tree at the Tuttle Orchards, in Greenfield, Ind., Monday. The orchard canceled public apple-picking this year after a series of sub-freezing nights zapped apple blossoms lured into early bloom by unusually warm March weather. soms lured into early bloom by a warm March were killed in April freezes. Indiana apple growers have had one of their worst crops in eight decades. Many orchards canceled their U-pick apple seasons and shipped in apples from out of state or traded varieties with other orchards to meet customers’ demand. Tuttle Orchards, a central Indiana farm with 30 acres of trees, lost all but about 10 percent of its apple crop in April. Mike Roney, who co-owns the orchard near Greenfield, Ind., said it might have been the worst freeze damage ever at the farm his family has owned for 84 years. At Crane Orchards, a 120acre top U-pick tourist destination in Fenville, Mich., co-owner Rob Crane said just 5 percent of
his apple crop survived the icy nights on his family’s fifth-generation farm a few miles from Lake Michigan. Despite the lack of apples, Crane is hoping people still come to the farm for a hay ride along its lake and rolling hills, to navigate its corn maze or indulge in fruit pies and other homemade treats served at its restaurant. The colors won’t be so bright in some places. Felicia Fairchild, executive director of the Saugatuck/Douglas Convention and Visitors Bureau in southwestern Michigan, said some drought-stressed trees in her area dropped their leaves early. But despite a less brilliant landscape and lack of apples, she expected bustling fall business in an area often called the “Art Coast of Michigan” because
of Saugatuck and Douglas’ art galleries, shopping and bed and breakfast inns along Lake Michigan. “I don’t think it’s going affect our business at all, but it always adds to it if there’s really beautiful foliage,” Fairchild said. Others in the industry took steps to ensure their fall seasons weren’t a total loss. Greg Hochstedler, who owns the 160-acre Boondocks Farms about 30 miles east of Indianapolis, canceled his corn maze this year because the June planting time coincided with sweltering 100-degree days and the worst drought in decades. “It was too dry, too dusty. It would have been a waste of seed,” Hochstedler said. Instead, he’s focused on hosting fall weddings to make up some
of the revenue usually generated by about 5,000 people who pay to get turned around in the corn labyrinth. The farm has held about a dozen weddings this fall at its 4,000-square foot pavilion, which has walls that can be rolled up to reveal views of the surrounding countryside. “That’s why we call it Boondocks Farms — we’re out in the boondocks,” Hochstedler said. Roney, the Indiana orchard owner, found a bright spot in his pumpkin patches, which were irrigated and emerged from the drought with a fine crop. “We actually have one of the best pumpkin crops we’ve ever had as far size goes and quantity,” Roney said. “I don’t know why that is — maybe they just liked the heat.”
Egyptian president decrees pardon for protesters BY SARAH EL DEEB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — Egypt’s new president on Monday issued a decree pardoning all those charged with or convicted of acts “in support of the revolution” since the beginning of the popular uprising that forced his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak, from power. The move by Mohammed Morsi was long demanded by Egypt’s youth groups behind the uprising. It could potentially benefit more than 1,000 protesters currently on trial following their arrests during demonstrations since the uprising against Mubarak erupted on Jan. 25, 2011, and until Morsi was sworn in on June 30. Those already convicted for their role in the protests may also be pardoned. Most of those on trial or convicted were detained during the rule of the generals who took over after Mubarak stepped down in February 2011. Mohammed Gadallah, Morsi’s legal advisor, said the decree is “one of the revolution’s most important victories.” “It shows the revolution is now in power and guides the decisionmaking,” Gadallah told The Associated Press. “This is a legislation that protects the revolutionaries.” However, the wording of the decree is vague and doesn’t immediately set anyone free, according to several human rights lawyers. It asks the prosecutor general and the military prosecutor to prepare a list of names, within a month of the decree’s issuance, of those who may benefit from the pardon. The first article of the decree, which was published on Morsi’s official Facebook page, orders a “comprehensive pardon for crimes
and misdemeanors or attempts to commit them in support of the revolution and the realization of its goals.” The only suspects exempted from the decree are those charged with premeditated murder over that time period. “It is a great step, but not enough,” said Ahmed Seif, a member of the committee formed by Morsi to review cases of those tried following the uprising. He said he had advised Morsi to specify who would benefit from the pardon. “Now, there will be differences over how to implement the pardon, and a debate,” Seif said. Gadallah said the decree is likely to cover all major court cases where protesters clashed with military troops and security forces. However, he admitted it is not clear how many would benefit from the pardon. Another human rights lawyer, Ahmed Ragheb, praised Morsi’s decree but said it doesn’t include “all the victims of the past period.” Ragheb said Morsi’s choice of wording in the decree — “those supporting the revolution” — can be interpreted in different ways. “No one is facing charges called ‘supporting the revolution,’” Ragheb said. Protesters currently on trial face charges ranging from resisting authorities, damaging public or private property or disrupting public order. More than 12,000 civilians have been brought before military tribunals, many of them on charges such as “thuggery.” It will be up to the prosecutor general and the military prosecutor to name those who will be pardoned. Suspects who are excluded can challenge the decision, and a
EGYPTIAN PRESIDENCY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi waves to the crowd gathered in a stadium upon his arrival for a speech Saturday on the 6th of October national holiday marking the 1973 war with Israel in Cairo. Morsi announced that all citizens charged with or convicted of acts “in support of the revolution” Monday. judicial panel would be the final arbiter. Seif said it could take months before pardons actually materialize. A month after becoming president, Morsi pardoned more than 500 civilians convicted before military tribunals.
But rights groups have criticized Morsi, and the military generals who ruled before him, for failing to bring to trial most of the policemen, army troops and officers suspected of using excessive force or torture against protesters. Mohammed Abdel-Aziz, a lawyer involved in many of the pro-
testers’ cases, said the amnesty is too little too late and that the pardons should come with a financial compensation. Abdel-Aziz said the decree is likely meant to ease political pressure on Morsi just days ahead of a protest rally against the president planned for Friday.
Illinois’ unpaid bills should shrink over next 9 months BY CHRISTOPHER WILLS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois should see its massive backlog of unpaid bills shrink modestly over the next nine months, according to an analysis released Monday, but that progress could be reversed if offi cials don’t address some trouble spots. The Civic Federation’s assessment of the state budget concludes the backlog should shrink by 14 percent, to $7.6 billion. That would still mean long delays in paying businesses, nonprofits working on the state’s behalf, insurance claims fi led by public employees and more, but it’s a step in the right direction.
The federation noted some problems with the budget, however. It assumes a $1 billion cut in Medicaid expenses, but the federation believes some of that savings may not materialize, according to the report. Officials also included only half of the money need for employee health insurance over the 12 months beginning July 1. If officials don’t take action, costs could rise and more bills could be added to the backlog. More fundamentally, state leaders still haven’t found a way to slow dramatic increase in pension costs. Pension-related payments will eat up 20 percent of the state’s general fund this year, up from 9 percent just
four years ago, the Civic Federation said. “Fixing this broken system must be the legislature’s highest priority. There is no excuse for delay,” said Laurence Msall , president of the Chicago-based group. Gov. Pat Quinn’s office didn’t comment on the details of the new report but agreed there’s still much work to be done on the budget — especially on cutting pension expenses. “As the governor campaigns for pension reform and attempts to negotiate less expensive contracts with state employees, he welcomes support from the Civic Federation and other civic groups with an interest in the state’s long-term fi nancial sta-
bility,” said Abdon Pallasch , spokesman for the Democratic governor’s budget office. The federation found that expenses for the year should be slightly less than revenues. That means the state will enjoy a surplus, if one looks only at this year’s figures. But that picture changes when overdue bills and other old obligations are counted in the ledgers. The federation predicted the overall deficit will be just under $4 billion, or 25 percent less than last year’s. “This progress, while important, only begins to address the severe damage infl icted on Illinois’ fi nances over many years of fi scal recklessness,” Msall said.

Turn to exercise, not medication
LANGSTON ALLSTON THE DAILY ILLINI
Editorial Students should register to vote in their permanent addresses so their votes will have a greater effect
RENÉE WUNDERLICH Opinions columnist
“E
ing decisions about what kind of care people could receive. There is no such provision that would allow a board to ration care or deny treatment. Romney said 20 million people would lose their insurance when Obamacare goes into effect next year. According to the Congressional Budget Office, this number is possible in the absolute worstcase scenario. It is more likely that only 3 to 5 million fewer people would lose insurance from their employer. With both politicians distorting the truth, it’s nearly impossible for a voter to be informed about health care reforms, which are already complex. A little closer to campus, Romney claimed that there are 23 million unemployed — it’s actually 12.1 million as of September — and that 50 percent of college graduates could not find work. The number is 53.6 percent, and that includes those who are underemployed. A person who is underemployed is not unemployed. Politicians can’t unfairly manipulate these numbers to make them more gruesome than necessary. These are just a handful of the stretched truths and straight lies the candidates have told us. In the age of technology, it is fairly easy to get ahold of the numbers, as I’ve done here. It would behoove every American to not do their research. But it is a shame that we live in an era where it is OK for elected officials to make things up. Here’s to Decision 2012 — where our leaders lie to our faces.
xercise gives you endorphins — endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands!” How true, Ms. Woods, how true. Leading lady Elle Woods, played by Reese Witherspoon in the 2001 hit “Legally Blonde,” is an unlikely Harvard law student assisting a case where Brooke Taylor Windham (Ali Larter) is accused of murder. Woods is puzzled by this, as she was a student in Taylor Windham’s exercise class and used her workout videos. Woods insists that Taylor Windham prioritizes fitness, and that this makes her sane — joyful, even. But if exercise truly does make us happy, how come we don’t do it? With all the information out there about the benefits of daily movement, 49 percent of Americans still favor the television over the treadmill, and it shows. Over one-third of American adults are considered medically obese. But I’m not talking about fitting into smaller pants; happy people don’t all wear size 0. Interestingly enough, 33 percent of American adults consider themselves “living under extreme stress.” You know what else exercise does for you? It reduces stress. And whether you’re a student or working professional, less stress is something we all need more of. I do believe that while the United States gets a bad rap for being not just one of the fattest nations in the world but also one of the most stressed, it’s not always because we’re lazy. Honestly, who has the time to exercise? Certainly not average Americans, specifically college students. We are too busy stressing ourselves out with personal and professional commitments to even think about destressing. I’m not just talking about midterms and finals. Think about all the little things that go on during the day that add to your anxiety level: issues with your apartment, a family member gets sick, a friend is insensitive or annoying, you stub your toe and bleed everywhere ... stress doesn’t restrict itself to the classroom or the workplace. And because you’ve got a test in an hour, and your apartment’s heater is making that weird noise, your friend hasn’t called back and your grandmother is in the hospital, and your bloody toe is starting to sting, you don’t really feel like going for a run. So we pop a pill. Because it’s easier, because it’s instant and because we just don’t have time to waste on working out. We have been conditioned in our era of modern medicine and society of instant-gratification that all of life’s questions can be answered over-thecounter or by a doctor’s prescription. Working out pays off in the long run, sure, but we want relief and we want it now. Too bad the habit of taking medication may be a higher cost to your overall wellbeing, both financially and health-wise, than breaking a sweat. There’s a high likelihood that, by taking a pill every time you feel stressed, you’re subconsciously training your brain to crave this medication instead of conditioning your body to relieve tension and anxiety naturally through movement. And this is assuming the drugs themselves aren’t addictive by nature. And they are addictive, and you’re dependant on a substance, it’s pretty safe to say you’re not happy. Between nonjournalism classes, staying on top of current events, being a lab monitor, “real world” job searching, networking, dancing, traveling, maintaining friendships, family commitments, writing a weekly column and trying to look healthy, awake and put-together for a Thursday newscast, stress is not something I have had the pleasure of forgoing. So I Zumba. For one hour a day (or 35 minutes if I’m pressed for time), I think about nothing but Latin-inspired rhythms and enjoy my group fitness class. There are no deadlines, there is no people pleasing and because I know everyone around me is sweaty and smelly, I don’t need to worry about being the same. Despite high-cardio activity’s endorphin pay-off, millions of Americans have found healthy ways to cope with life’s frustrating moments; they read a book, they watch a movie, they craft, they have sex. And for those who do have doctor’s orders to take prescription medication for anxiety, certainly there is a place for Western medicine in today’s fast-paced world. But when something so simple, natural and cheap as exercise is readily available, it’s worth a visit to the gym instead of relying solely the pharmacy. I found an exercise that works for me and my busy schedule — dance not only keeps me in good physical shape but gets my mind where I need it to be; sharp, focused, and yeah, I guess pretty happy, too.

T
oday is the last day to register to vote in Champaign County. But unless you’re planning on staying in Champaign after you graduate, that shouldn’t matter much to you. In this county, campus groups and the county clerk’s office try to push the vote oncampus, and unlike his predecessor, Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten is allowing an early voting center in the Illini Union this year from Oct. 22 to Nov. 3. As of last Wednesday, 133,000 residents were registered to vote. While this place certainly feels like home, as most students live here for about eight months of the year, it simply isn’t — after spring finals, most students pack their bags and return to their families. Champaign-Urbana is not home or at least not a permanent home. As far as local government, the changes that students will possibly indirectly affect, positive or negative, may have a shortterm if not nearly insignificant bearing on their lives, such as funding park upkeep or spending on public secondary education, but if the rationale behind pushing the vote is that these issues influence students’ lives, the truth is they don’t. Students would stand to benefit more by casting their vote in their hometown, where their actions can impact family members and, not to mention, where their tax dollars are going. Especially during a time when over half of 18- to 24-yearolds were living at home as of December, according to a Pew Research Center survey, it isn’t far off the mark to suggest that students may very well have an even longer-term investment in voting at home. Students who live out-ofstate, especially in swing states, have even more reason to vote at home. As far as the presidential election, your vote in Illinois will barely tip the bright blue scale. That’s not to say your vote is unimportant, but it won’t have the same impact it would in Ohio or Florida. Of course, as Americans and journalists, it is our wish that everyone votes, no matter where the polling booth. University students are quite lucky that, unlike some schools, there are no restrictions against college students voting in their college towns. Students here have the freedom to choose. And there is certainly good to be done in this area if only for the greater good of the nation, such as improved recycling and lowered unemployment rates. If students want to make the most of their vote, though, they need to vote where it’s going to count most for them.

The myth of the self-made millionaire SARAH FISCHER Opinions columnist
D
isclaimer: I work hard. I have had two jobs on campus, write for the paper and will graduate from the University in only three years with a double major. I’ve had an internship while taking 21 hours and have kept my GPA above 3.9. Second disclaimer: I am not rich. There is a misconception that those who are rich have gotten that way because of their hard work and effort. Many think that they, and they alone, have earned their fortunes by producing something unique that the world demands. That only they could have created the world. That from their own brains and brawn spawned “the next big thing.” But that’s not true. In the United States today, 100 billionaires, or nearly 30 percent of all those in the U.S., have made their fortunes through investments in the financial sector. Same for millionaires. They use money raised through investors to buy into the stock market, lowering risk to themselves while still allowing the possibility for maximum reward. Upon acquisition of wealth, most of America’s wealthy appear to suffer from what The Guardian columnist George Monbiot calls Romnesia, which is “the ability of the very rich to forget the context in which they made their money. To forget their education, inheritance, family networks, contacts and introductions. To forget the workers whose labour enriched them. To forget the infrastructure
and security, the educated workforce, the contracts, subsidies and bailouts.” They miss — or ignore — what Warren Buffett calls the “Ovarian Lottery,” the circumstances around one’s birth. Millionaires and billionaires ignore their history. The parents they have. The place of their birth. The decade in which they were born. How would Facebook have come to be if Mark Zuckerberg had been born in 1930? How would Bill Gates’ career look if he’d been born in rural Laos? These things also depend on what has come before, the idea of the “inheritance of the past.” This “common treasury,” as proposed by 18th century French economist Jacques Turgot, suggests that this inheritance is not just a collective effort but knowledge meant for us all. In their book “Unjust Deserts,” Gar Alperovitz and Lew Daly bring up the example of Newton, had he been required to relearn all of history: All knowledge preceding him, all advancements since the start of man to the 17th century would be lost. Newton would “not have contributed much more than an insightful caveman.” Think too about consumption and consumer society. Without me — without you — such billionaires wouldn’t exist. I buy their products, surf their websites so that they can achieve such high levels of wealth. But if I didn’t, let’s say, go on Facebook, if you didn’t, if no one did, Mark Zuckerberg wouldn’t have interested advertisers. If I didn’t buy an iPod, if you didn’t buy an iPhone, if your roommate didn’t have a Mac, Apple wouldn’t be the richest company in the world. If my roommate didn’t type papers on a PC, if your professor didn’t write his
exam in Word, Microsoft wouldn’t be the behemoth it is. Because I contribute to the incredible wealth of these folks, I want their help in return. I want them to help me get through school without massive debt. I want them to help me to have the chance to be as successful as they have been. The “self-made” millionaire is a myth. As John Donne said, “No man is an island.” Your success is, in part, predicated on how much your services are in need. It depends on the industry you work in. I have family members who work for large companies who make what my dad, a professor, makes many times over. Do I think they work any harder than my dad? No. Do I think they work any less than those CEOs and managers above them? Absolutely not. Linda McQuaig and Neil Brooks in their book “Billionaires’ Ball” note that “no one individual could ever make much of a difference — no matter how brilliant, dedicated, motivated, or hardworking he might be.” All success is communal. The community works together to create a better society than what existed before. It’s how civilization works. To say that a meritocracy rewards those who have worked hard or harder or are smarter or better than those around them is a myth. True, if you and I come from exactly equal circumstances and you work harder than I do, you will be more successful — and probably more wealthy. But we don’t. And if I start three rungs down on the ladder of success, I have a much longer way to climb.

Truth stretched by both Obama, Romney BRIAN SIEGEL Opinions columnist
In
turbulent times for the once great United States of America, you would think the debate for the leader of the free world would include hard-hitting facts and a discussion of big ideas ... but it didn’t. Both President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney decided the truth was theirs to play with. In fact, many of the facts presented in Wednesday’s debate were exaggerated. So what did they say? There was much debate over exactly how much Romney’s supposed “$5 trillion tax cut” would burden the nation. Obama stated that Romney would not be able to balance the budget with such an extensive tax cut. Romney countered by saying that he would close loopholes to make his tax proposal revenue neutral. According to the Washington Post and FactCheck.org, it is mathematically impossible for Romney to keep his promise. Therefore the Obama team has concluded that the burden would fall on the middle-class. While Romney’s tax policy would spur more long-term economic growth, it would be practically impossible for Romney to close the nation’s deficit gap with the immediate loss of that federal revenue. Romney claimed that Obama has doubled the federal deficit. That is just not true. According to the Federal Budget Office, Obama inherited $1.2 trillion in debt and that number has stayed
around $1.2 trillion. However Romney was correct in calling out the president for saying that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. Clearly the president did not make good on that pledge. While there might be a chink in the armor of the Romney plan, Obama’s plan has its shortcomings as well. President Obama harped on the point that rates would return to those of the Clinton era for wealthy Americans, using Clinton’s surplus and job creation record as support for his taxation policy. However, Americans making over $250,000 would pay more than they did in the Clinton era. Obama did not account for the 3.8 percent Medicare tax on unearned income or the 0.9 percent Medicare surcharge. Sure, Obama wants to show he cuts taxes, but $1 trillion of his “$4 trillion reduction plan” are not true cuts, per se. It’s a reduction in spending that would result from the end of wars that are ending anyway. This deception is unacceptable — it should not be included as a cut. However important the economy was during the debate, health care didn’t go untouched. Obama said that health care premiums have gone up slower in recent years than ever before. But as FactCheck.org points out again, that isn’t true. It is health care spending that has slowed down. Federal law has had little impact on premiums. To be fair, many economists don’t have accurate predictions of the effect of the legislation on health care costs and insurance in the long run. Romney also said that there would be a board in place mak-

Piato offers 2 organic menus, delivery service BY MORGAN QUILICI STAFF WRITER
Almost all shopping malls are full of hustling shoppers, countless stores and a food court where hungry shoppers go to rest their feet and indulge in some tasty cuisine. The food court inside the Lincoln Square Mall in Urbana strays from typical chain restaurants. At the heart of the mall lies Piato Café and Piato Too, two restaurants that offer a variety of fresh, homemade, organic and vegetarian-friendly food. “It’s just not food-court food. This is homemade stuff — this is our blood, sweat and tears,” said Kelly Jo Lamb, owner of Piato Café and Piato Too. “We work hard to give you the best products we can — that’s what cooking is about and so many places have lost that feeling.” Piato Café opened in December 2006 after Lamb was offered to take over the rental space, which previously held Cali’s Cocina, where she worked as a cook. “After a year, they decided they didn’t want it anymore and asked if I would take it over,” Lamb said. “So I did, and Piato was born.” In need of more space, the business expanded to the spot next to Piato Café 2 ½ years ago, now called Piato Too. Although essentially one business, Piato Café and Piato Too offer very different menus. “Piato’s side has more burgers, fries, pizzas — your sort of home-cooking stuff,” said Meagan Quigley, Piato’s office manager. “Piato Too offers the salad bar, in addition to your quiches for breakfast and more of a Mexican-style flair.” Along with the restaurants, the business includes two other branches: Piato Catering and Organic Food Nanny. They bought the Organic Food Nanny concept in September 2011 and officially started delivering in October 2011. Piato’s Organic Food Nanny is an organic-food delivery service that serves almost 50 families in the Champaign-Urbana area. Each share of food includes two full meals, and their largest fam-

Tuesday, October 9, 2012
ily receives five shares a week. Memberships, which can be purchased on a week-to-week basis, are available at piatocafe.com. “We are the only meal-delivery service in town that is not a large corporate franchise, and we are the only meal-delivery service that is organically exclusive,” Quigley said. Quigley said the idea of Organic Food Nanny came about when Lamb was approached by some friends who were doing the service, but on a much smaller scale. They moved to Wisconsin, so Lamb bought the concept and their client list. The company has since gained about 20 new members. It also recently added meat to the menu. “We’ve changed it a lot since they had it,” Lamb said. “We offer meals that have meat, and we do a lot more desserts. But we still have a soup, a salad, (and) everything is (still) homemade, local and organic.” As for how the service got its name, Lamb said it’s called Organic Food Nanny because “it’s kind of like your nanny to the rescue.” “A lot of our people don’t have time to either make a good meal for their family or don’t have time to go grab something that’s nutritional, (so we provide) a meal that’s ready for them and that lasts a few days,” Lamb said. “We are bringing you meals that are already prepared. All you have to do is heat it up and it’s good to go.” The process of sending out the food to their customers begins on Thursdays when Piato fills out order sheets from local farmers to decide what their meals will include for the week. On Saturdays, they go out to local farmers markets and get all their necessary food ingredients. They go to the Common Ground Food Co-op in Urbana on Mondays to get their staple items like flour and sugar, and then cooking commences. Tuesday is delivery day, so all Piato employees are busy portioning and packaging the food for delivery. Each week, Piato sends out a letter to its customers detailing
all the items they received for that week, what the ingredients are and where exactly they came from. Organic Food Nanny service customer Vicki Mahaffey expressed how fortunate she feels to have access to a service like Food Nanny, according to a statement submitted to Piato. “The food is delicious, healthy and imaginatively prepared,” Mahaffey said in the statement. “Their meals add variety and ease to the work week, and it’s fun to look forward to the new ideas they will ‘cook up’ next.” As for what comes next, Quigley said the Organic Food Nanny service hopes to double their clientele and maybe start delivering to day cares. “We want to get more members so that more people know that we’re out there and that more people are eating healthier and organic,” Quigley said. “Let’s get kids to eat real food, to understand that real food comes out of the ground (and) that it’s supposed to be dirty when you pick it up from the farm stand instead of a box.” Each month, Piato holds $5 charity buffets for a different cause. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Piato will have a charity buffet for the cancer patients of Mills Breast Cancer Institute in Urbana on Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Piato. Mills Breast Cancer Insitute is teaming up with ParkLife Video and Primelight Studios to produce video and pictures of the patients for family members. “It’s going to cost $200 a patient to (capture the video and pictures), so hopefully we’ll get a ton of people (to participate) so there’s more (patients) we can cover,” Lamb said. Lamb said her favorite aspects of owning Piato is the opportunity to contribute to charities. “I love that I can support my community so much,” Lamb said. “I wanted to be a social worker, and this is my way that I can give back.”

DISH OF THE WEEK
‘Mountain of food’ at Merry Ann’s BY KARYNA RODRIGUEZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER
On Main Street in Champaign sits Merry Ann’s Diner, decorated in green with floor-to-ceiling windows. This design has a retro feel, as if it were the diner from the famous Edward Hopper painting “Nighthawks,” a replica of which hangs on one of Merry Ann’s walls. “We wanted to have that ’40s feel like it was a World War II-era kind of vintage diner,” said Tony Pomonis, owner of Merry Ann’s. Pomonis’ father, Anastase Pomonis, who died in July, opened the original Illini-themed diner, named after his then wife, on Neil Street in 1983. Tony Pomonis and his friend Juan Campos teamed up to build the second location on Main Street. Pomonis opened a third diner on Gregory Street in 2010, followed by a location on the Illinois State University campus the following year. Breakfast is served 24/7, but lunch and dinner food is also on the menu. Pomonis described many of the diner’s items as “a mountain of food.” One of Merry Ann’s popular dishes is the horseshoe sandwich. This dish originated in Springfield and is an openfaced sandwich that consists of one-third of a pound of burger meat topped with french fries and cheese sauce. “It’s just got a lot of flavor to it. ... It’s like lunch food or dinner food, but it’s all mashed together so it’s like the quintessential comfort food item,” Pomonis said. While searching for ways to appeal to younger customers and the late-night crowd, the staff decided to add the horseshoe to the menu in 2003. Ryan Kutil, general manager of the Neil Street location, often notices customers’ reactions to the dish. “I’ve heard a couple of people a little surprised by it because they read the description and then it comes out and there’s a mass of food on the plate,” he said. “It definitely takes a hungry customer to eat it all.” On top of providing satisfying food, Pomonis
GANGNAM STYLE FROM PAGE 6A eo reaching “viral” status, some fans even created their own parodies. Laura Zehner, a fifth year student in ACES, joined a flash mob that performed “Gangnam Style” in September near the missing Alma Mater pedestal. The event attracted more than 100 students to “freak people out in a socially acceptable way,” Zehner said. The crowd of spectators erupted into cheers and laughter when it came time for the famous horse-riding move. Zehner noted that some even began to participate in the dance. A video clip of the performance was then uploaded to YouTube and has since received more than 70,000 views so far.
Media and celebrities catch on Before people on campus were learning the dance, the rest of the country was already putting a spotlight on PSY. Along with Fuse, other major media outlets began to take notice of PSY. Through social media, members of the entertainment industry began to popularize this

Aleli Alcaide, sophomore in LAS, usually eats at Merry Ann’s every two weeks and enjoys the diner’s larger portions and inexpensive prices. Customer service such as this is the key to the diner’s success. “I think that the reason we’re so popular is because we’re open 24/7 and we’re consistent,” Pomonis said. “So people come in and they trust that they’ll get the same quality dishes all the time, whether they’re drunk or sober, so I think that’s the secret to our success.”

mation is worth consuming, he said. People now have a say in the content that interests them. When this content is then endorsed by celebrities, it will reach a “tipping point” where mass media has to stay on top of these trends, or risk losing viewers. In this case, when “Gangnam Style” received more than 20 million hits on YouTube, CNN and The Wall Street Journal decided to step in. Professor Ham also believes there is more to the story rather than the dance and the craze it accompanied. He has known PSY’s music for a long time and credited him for being distinct from most Korean pop stars. “K-pop is about visual, not the lyrics, but PSY still wished to shed light on the materialistic lifestyle in Gangnam. He mocked those living in Gangnam, who think themselves as social elite and enjoy the most abundant materials in life,” Ham said. “When people speak of Gangnam, it’s usually not addressed in a respectful tone, but sarcastically, they still want to be part of Gangnam.” The irony also, is that PSY is from Gangnam.

Korean pop singer they had previously never heard of. British singer Robbie Williams was among the first notable pop stars to introduce “Gangnam Style.” “Try watching this and not smiling I dare you,” Williams wrote in a blog post this July. His praises were followed by more positive statements including a tweet in July by T-Pain that said, “Words cannot even describe how amazing this video is.” Britney Spears also expressed excitement about the Gangnam Style choreography. During an appearance she made on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in September, Spears had the opportunity to learn the dance from PSY himself. PSY’s popularity eventually landed him performances on Saturday Night Live and MTV’s pre-Video Music Award concert. “I went to VMA last week. I saw a lot of celebrities sitting down there. I was like ‘wow look at him,’ ‘look at her.’ But meanwhile they were saying the same thing,” PSY said during his interview with Fuse. Chang Dae Ham, assistant professor in advertising, interpreted PSY’s success as the “people’s success.” Mass media is no longer the authority on what infor-

GANGNAM STYLE Viral YouTube video speaks to more than just South Koreans XING ZHUO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

hen Sohee Kim, junior in LAS, returned to her home country of South Korea this summer, she stayed in a hotel located in the district known as “Gangnam.” While in Korea, she constantly heard a song by the 34-year-old Korean pop singer PSY. It was everywhere. A few days later, Jaewoo Kim, a soon-to-be University freshman, attended a PSY concert. According to Kim, the venue had no official seating areas; everyone in the crowd stood on their feet throughout the show. For the finale, PSY performed his single “Gangnam Style” during which the crowd motioned the “horseriding” dance that the song has become so popular for. Neither student had any idea back then that PSY and his “Gangnam Style” video would become an international sensation, especially in the U.S. PSY also did not seem to anticipate the success of his video, which received a Guinness World Record for most likes on YouTube

last month. In a September interview with the music station Fuse, he admitted that his “Gangnam Style” video was initially targeted to the Korean audience. He seldom checked the number of views his video received on YouTube, until one day his company told him there were comments written in multiple languages. PSY added during the interview that he began to notice the number of viewers increase by millions per day. Within 60 days, he was performing in the U.S. As the “Gangnam Style” craze gained momentum, Sohee Kim began translating the lyrics for her friends on campus. The line “Oppan Gangnam Style” means “older brother has/is Gangnam Style,” Kim said. She explained to them that Gangnam is an affluent district in Seoul, a place where young people gather and lead in social trends and fashion. Kim also taught her friends the horse-riding move, something they were more interested to learn. With the “Gangnam Style” vid-

Illinois’ libero Jennifer Beltran (3) bumps the ball during the Illini’s 3-2 loss to No. 1-ranked Penn State on Saturday. Beltran has 1,453 career digs, the second highest of all time at Illinois.
Beltran, Johnson shine despite losses Volleyball players make way into record books with digs and blocks BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE STAFF WRITER
Despite suffering two stinging five-set defeats at the hands of No. 19 Ohio State and No. 1 Penn State, Illinois was able to take solace in the individual performances of multiple players over the weekend. Two upperclassmen, junior libero Jennifer Beltran and senior middle blocker Erin Johnson, continued to move up the Illinois record books. One week after passing head coach Kevin Hambly’s wife and moving into third on the all-time digs rankings, Beltran advanced to second, passing Tracey Marshall’s mark of 1,145. Beltran’s 1,453 career digs now
rank behind only Ashley Edinger, though by a significant margin. Edinger amassed 1,921 digs during her career from 2006-08, but Beltran is on pace to surpass Edinger’s mark during her senior season. Johnson recorded six blocks during Saturday’s loss to Penn State, the second of which moved her into the top 10 in the school record books. The senior now has 410 in her career. The Illini also saw two singlegame marks set. In Friday’s loss to Ohio State, sophomore right side hitter Liz McMahon notched a career-high 23 kills while hitting .357.
“I think I just worked all week at being aggressive no matter what,” McMahon said. “Me and Annie are still building our connection stronger every week in practice and just getting my confidence up is huge.” Redshirt freshman Jocelynn Birks also posted a personal best, as the outside hitter recorded the first 20-20 game of her career. Birks led the Illini effort against Penn State with 20 kills and a career-high 23 digs, making her only the fifth Illinois player to do so in her first year as a letter winner. “I was just trying to play as free as possible,” Birks said.
Illinois continues to struggle against ranked opponents The Illini (8-8, 2-4 Big Ten)
have played a difficult schedule this season, with 10 games against ranked opponents, and all of Illinois’ losses this season have come against teams currently ranked in the top 25. While the majority of those matches have been competitive and hard-fought, the Illini have been unable to get over the hump, going 2-8 against those teams. “We have to execute for a longer period of time,” Hambly said when asked how the Illini could take the next step. “It’s pretty simple.” Continuing into the heart of Big Ten play, Illinois will need to find that consistency to improve on an 8-8 overall record in a conference that boasts the most ranked teams of any in the country at seven. As a reflection of their rigorous schedule, the Illini have remained in the top 25 despite being the only
team in the rankings that is less than three games above .500.
Five-set matches Both of Illinois’ losses last weekend came in five-set marathons, dropping the Illini to 2-5 this season in matches that went the distance. Every match during Illinois’ three-game losing streak, including the loss at Purdue from the previous weekend, has come in five sets. Hambly was at a loss when asked to explain the team’s struggles late in matches. “I don’t know what that’s about,” Hambly said. “Each one of those fifth sets had its own life. This one we were up, a couple we were just crushed and a couple of them were

Beckman shares DB’s pain Defense preparing to meet Michigan, slow QB Denard Robinson BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER
Tim Beckman knows what it’s like to be carted off the football field in an ambulance. When the Illinois football head coach was a linebacker at the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio, he was wheeled off the field after attempting to make a tackle, just as Illinois defensive back Terry Hawthorne was this weekend against Wisconsin. Hawthorne was down on the turf for several minutes after hitting Derek Watt as the Wisconsin fullback caught a pass from quarterback Joel Stave. Camp Randall Stadium was silent before Hawthorne was
raised into the ambulance, giving a thumbs up along the way. For Beckman, his injury eventually ended his playing career. Hawthorne’s will not. Hawthorne flew back with the team from Madison, Wis., after the game Saturday. CT scans came back negative for Hawthorne. According to Beckman, Hawthorne will undergo concussion tests on Tuesday and there is no timetable yet for when he will be able to play. “We were all very happy and blessed that Terry was back there with us on the plane and that everything was cleared,” Beckman said Monday. “It was good to see that he was with us on the plane and at practice last night.” Linebacker Jonathan Brown said Hawthorne was groggy on the flight and a little bit overwhelmed. He also said he’s talk-
ed to Hawthorne in the days since the injury and that Hawthorne seemed fine.
Junior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo was scoreless in four straight games since recording a goal in a 2-1 victory over Iowa after her return from the under-20 Women’s World Cup. That drought ended when Illinois hosted Michigan State on Thursday. DiBernardo provided all of the scoring as she tripled her season total with a hat trick. It was the second hat trick of her career, and it came in a game in which the Illini found themselves having to fight from behind not once but twice. “Their chances were off our mistakes, and we just can’t give the ball away as easily as we were,” she said of the first half. “I think we fixed that a little bit (in the) second half, but we also can do a better job at it.” DiBernardo was still happy, though, to get the win in a game that was a battle all 90 minutes. “A lot of us are fighting through some little injuries, and this game was really just a fight through it,” she said. “To come out with a win is, I think, huge and separates us in the Big Ten.” For her efforts, DiBernardo was named the Big Ten women’s
soccer Co-Offensive Player of the Week.
Illini becoming familiar with playing from behind For the fourth straight game, Illinois was trailing early. The first game resulted in a 4-0 loss to Penn State, which was then followed by a 1-0 victory over Indiana and a 1-1 tie against Purdue. It is a habit that head coach Janet Rayfield hopes the team can get rid of before it takes the field this weekend. “We’re certainly trying to play good soccer,” Rayfield said, “But (if) something breaks down or we misread each other and give them the ball, now they’re in on a counterattack.” Rayfield added that minor injuries have forced the Illini to make lineup changes but that their ability to put their noses to the grindstone has allowed them to stay in the past few games in which Illinois was unable to score first. “It’s more about grit right now,” Rayfield said. “Hopefully this week will give us some time off and we can get back to

Illinois secondary overdoes it After watching the film of Saturday’s game, Beckman said he thought his secondary was being too aggressive and overcompensating on what it was trying to do. While Montee Ball and the Badger rushing attack gained 96 of its 173 yards in the fourth quarter, it was Stave’s big strike to Jared Abbrederis for a 59-yard touchdown that put the game out of reach. “When they got up two scores, we were expecting a lot of heavy runs, a lot of Montee Ball,” safety Steve Hull said. “I think we were a little bit overzealous to

o one needed to be at Saturday’s football game in Madison, Wis. Most everyone expected Wisconsin to win, it was cold and people could probably think of 100 better things to do on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t even worth it for the die-hard Illini fan. Technology is advanced enough nowadays that some prefer watching a game from the comfort of their own homes. Sports fans can trade in cold weather, expensive tickets and hours of time wasted waiting for parking, food and bathrooms for having a controlled temperature and lounging on the couch while accompanied by the televised game, live blogs and live tweets about the action. Yes, the need to watch sports in person has decreased over the past few years, but there are some experiences that are irreplaceable through any form of technology. Here’s a look at the seven sporting events every sports buff should make it to in a lifetime.
No. 7 — World Cup Final The World Cup is the world’s greatest sports spectacle. Soccer is often called the most universally accepted sport, and it shows through the anticipation that accompanies the event that comes once every four years. Because it’s only one event with individual countries, it receives more individual attention than the Olympics. The stakes, the national pride and the die-hard fans make the final game into seemingly one of the most nervewracking and intense competitions in existence. Next Event: June 12-July 13, 2014; Brazil
No. 6 — The Kentucky Derby The single fact that millions of dollars is riding on two minutes of horse racing is what makes the Kentucky Derby so appealing with the high-risk, high-reward stakes. Add in the rambunctious crowds, the never-ending sideshows and the insane jockeys and this proves to be a experience one will either never forget or hardly remember. Next Event: May 4, 2013; Churchill Downs, Louisville, Ky.
No. 5 — The Masters Being one of the few sporting events where people have to be quiet and ditch their cell phones may seem restrictive, but it’s the rich culture and competition of the Masters that shows the purity of sport. The longtime marketing campaign, “A tradition unlike any other,” sums it up well. It’s the first major of the season for the world’s top golfers and the only major event played at the same location every year, Augusta National in Georgia. And watching golf live makes it infinitely more exciting than through the TV. Next Event: April 8-14, 2013; Augusta National, Augusta, Ga.
No. 4. — Rose Bowl The game may not be as prestigious as in years past, but the tradition and history of the event makes the experience unmatchable in college bowl games. It’s nicknamed “The Granddaddy of Them All” because not only is it the oldest bowl game, but it even has its own stadium and parade. It’s worth attending simply to be part of the tradition. Next Event: Jan 1, 2013; Pasadena, Calif.
No. 3 — Tour de France

No. 2 — The Olympics The Olympics is not just a sporting event, but a cultural showcase, a worldwide peace gathering, a business venture and so much more. The fact that it happens every two years and rotates between Summer and Winter Olympics makes it mean so much more to the athletes and therefore the fans as well. The Olympics gives you the opportunity to watch the best athletes in the world compete against one other in sports that don’t normally receive much publicity. Next Event: Feb. 7-23, 2014; Sochi, Russia
No. 1 — Game Seven of the Stanley Cup Final, World Series, NBA Finals Nothing can compare to the feelings of excitement and anticipation of the seventh game in a best-of-seven series, especially when everything is on the line. Any of these championship competitions are must-sees, although ticket prices are unreal, and it would probably be more memorable if your personal team was participating. However, when these occurrences make it to the final game, it doesn’t even matter who is playing. You are watching skilled athletes at their prime in the highest level of competition. That is sport.
Next Event: World Series: Oct. 24Nov. 1; at the home stadium of the National League Champion Members of the 2004 World Series Championship Boston Red Sox are honored as they ride a Duck Boat carrying the championship trophy into Fenway Park prior to a Red Sox game against the Tampa Bay Rays in Boston on Sept. 25. Columnist Emily Bayci recommends going to Game Seven of a major sport’s championship series above all other sporting events.

Three members of the Illinois women’s tennis team played at the Air Force Invitational this weekend in Colorado Springs, Colo. The weather and conditions were not favorable for anyone, but two young Illini weathered the storm for second-place finishes. Sophomore Julia Jamieson and freshman Audrey O’Connor placed second in the Bravo flight for doubles competition, going 3-1 during the three-day tournament — winning two matches Friday and their first match Saturday. The duo lost in the final 8-3 to the Texas Tech team of Caroline Starck and Sandra Dynka. Jamieson also finished second in her singles flight, going 3-1 over the tournament. Jamieson lost a tough final Sunday in which she broke set multiple times to Oklahoma State’s Maria Alvarez 7-5, 6-3 after a seven-hour turnaround from her last match Saturday night. Head coach Michelle Dasso said she was impressed with Jamieson’s effort. “This could be a huge stepping stone for Julia,” Dasso said. “I was incredibly impressed with her, and she is going to be a key player for our success this year.” Junior Misia Kedzierski did not have as strong of a showing, losing her first-round singles match Friday 6-0, 3-6, 10-4. Kedzierski was
placed in the exhibition Charlie flights of doubles with Washington State’s Erin Troedson without knowing before the tournament that she was playing doubles. The two won their first match 8-4 but came up short in their second match on Friday 9-8(3). The two finished with a win Saturday to go 2-1 on the weekend. Kedzierski found out her partner the night before the competition, but that didn’t stop her from playing her best. “It wasn’t easy,” Kedzierski said. “I didn’t know her strengths or weaknesses, so I had a lot to adapt to.” Not only did the team have to face unfamiliar opponents, but it had to face the elements. The temperatures were in the high-to-low 30s for the weekend and eventually had the tournament pushed indoors for Saturday and Sunday competitions. Teams usually have the luxury of going to open courts and hitting to keep loose in between matches while waiting no more than an hour for the next match. However, conditions prevented the teams from practicing in between matches with every court full of games being played. The teams were left waiting around on the sideline for up to nine hours to play their next singles match. Dasso did her best to try to rally her teammates and keep their spirits up, but as a coach, she enjoys
stop them short or go in the backfield and make a play.” Hull took the blame for the play and for the Illini’s performance in the fourth quarter. As the selfproclaimed quarterback of the defense, it was his responsibility to make the right calls on the field, and he didn’t want fingers pointed at anyone but himself. “We were trying to overdo things at times instead of just doing what you’re supposed to do,” Beckman said. “And if you just do what you’re supposed to do, that will take care of defending the play.”

DI: Favorite video game? JM: I don’t really play video

achievement has to be winning state and regionals with Wisconsin AAA in 2008.
DI: Who are you listening to on your iPod right now? JM: I’m listening to rappers like

seeing how her team handles the unexpected. Dasso said you can really learn a lot about a girl’s competitiveness when thrown with different elements. This weekend also held the end to a great run by senior Rachael White and sophomore Melissa Kopinski in the NCAA All-American Championships. The team won three matches in the qualifying to advance them to the championship round. The Illini duo won its first two matches of the championship round against Stanford and Texas Tech earlier in the week. White and Kopinski lost their quarterfinal match to the nation’s No. 1-ranked doubles team from USC, Sabrina Santamaria and Kaitlyn Christian, 8-5. The women’s tennis team will have a week off from competition and will be back at practice with the full roster in preparation for the Midwest Regional on Oct. 18-23 at the Atkins Tennis Center. The Illini will focus on individual components of one another’s games to try and work out the flaws before regionals. “After playing a good amount of matches, we all know what we need to work on,” Kedzierski said. “We are going to be focusing a lot more time on working on those specific things this week in practice.”
battles. I don’t know. I just think it’s unfortunate. I don’t have an answer for that.” Hambly said prior to the weekend that the brevity of fifth sets forces teams to strike a balance between playing aggressively and playing error-free. “The most important factors in fifth sets are making the other team beat you in a lot of ways,” he said. “Like, if you make a bunch of errors, you make more than two errors, I think you lose 85 percent of those sets. If you have over two hitting errors, you lose those sets. Because they’re so short and the difference in that is so large, it’s really hard to overcome that. “To me it was more like, ‘OK, I’m not gonna tell my team that.’ They’ll be freaked out. ‘We make one error, we’re screwed.’ So we don’t approach it that way. We approach it more like, ‘We gotta attack, we gotta go for it, we gotta be aggressive, but we gotta be smart in this set as well.’” With this weekend’s losses at Huff Hall, Illinois has now been defeated in four games at home this season — as many as the team lost in Hambly’s first three seasons as head coach combined. The Illini’s current three-game losing streak also matches the longest such streak under Hambly’s tenure, matching three straight losses to close out the 2010 regular season.
playing good soccer and keep the grit that we’ve sort of found in the last three games.” The Illini had last weekend off after Thursday night’s win, something they think will allow them to recharge before the latter half of the Big Ten slate.

Set plays provide offense Recently, Illinois has been working on making more of its offensive chances and taking higher-quality shots. The Illini found the back of the net twice, however, through set chances in their win against Michigan State. The first opportunity after the Spartans committed a hand ball inside the 18-yard box. DiBernardo took the penalty shot and found the back of the net for Illinois’ first goal. And the game-winner came after Michigan State committed a foul on freshman forward Nicole Breece with five minutes remaining. DiBernardo took the free kick and was able to get it past diving Spartans goalkeeper Courtney Clem. “I was thinking we have the wind and we haven’t really put a lot of shots on frame, so I just went up to (DiBernardo) and said ‘smack the crap out of it,’” senior forward Niki Read said, “And if you get it on frame, and the goalie saves it, I promise I’ll be in there.”
Recreating Robinson The Illinois defense will have to find a way to slow Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week Denard Robinson on Saturday when the Illini meet Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich. One of the biggest challenges in preparation for Robinson will be trying to find somebody to emulate him in practice. Beckman said the Illini would try to incorporate some of the freshman, mentioning wide receiver Justin Hardee, at quarterback to try to imitate Robinson’s run-heavy style of play. Mimicking the Big Ten’s alltime leading rushing quarterback should prove difficult for Hardee, or whoever else has the job of preparing the Illinois defense for Robinson. Hull called Robinson a “rare breed” and said that there isn’t a team in the country that can recreate his abilities on the scout team. While he’s no Robinson, Hull said Hardee was “fast” and “shifty.” It may be impossible to duplicate Robinson on the practice field, but it is not impossible to watch Robinson on film. Defensive end Michael Buchanan said film would be the key for the defense. He said chasing Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase around the field was similar to what chasing Robinson will be like, though Scheelhaase is not the same caliber athlete as Robinson. “It’s really about being disciplined, studying a lot of film on him, seeing where he likes to escape,” Buchanan said. “I pretty much think he likes to escape from anywhere.”
Chewy situation Beckman has not been punished by the Big Ten nor the NCAA after being caught on camera using smokeless tobacco on the sideline Saturday. The use of tobacco products is banned from players and coaches during competition by the NCAA. Beckman said he talked with athletic director Mike Thomas about the situation and that his father texted him regarding the incident. Beckman apologized after the game and again in his weekly press conference Monday. “As I’ve mentioned before, I apologize,” he said. “It’s a terrible habit. It will be adjusted, and it will not happen again.”

ILLINI DRIVE Volleyball ready to get on court after difficult weekend
Bears rack up touchdowns by grabbing interceptions BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — How’s this for an oddity? Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs have more touchdown catches than Calvin Johnson and as many as Larry Fitzgerald and Reggie Wayne. Well, sort of. Tillman and Briggs actually have two interception returns for touchdowns, and the Chicago Bears’ defense has been racking up points at a rate that would make any high-powered offense envious. Takeaways have been a hallmark for the Bears (4-1) and a major point of emphasis since Smith took over before the 2004 season, and they lead the NFL with 13 interceptions. That’s something Smith will certainly take, although he’d like to see a few more fumble recoveries, too. The Bears have just four this season. When it comes to interceptions, the Bears are doing just fi ne, though. The defense has five touchdowns this season — all on interceptions in the past three weeks — and has allowed just five TDs by opposing offenses. Tillman and Briggs made history in Sunday’s 41-3 blowout at Jacksonville, becoming the first teammates to each return interceptions for TDs in consecutive weeks. Throw in Major Wright’s 45-yard interception return for a score against Sam Bradford in a win over St. Louis last month and the Bears have run back picks in three straight games for the first time in franchise history. Good things certainly have been happening for a defense that has allowed just two touchdowns during this three-game win streak, and the Jacksonville game was just the latest example. After returning two of Tony Romo’s five interceptions to the end zone, Tillman and Briggs were at it again, helping the Bears shake off a sluggish first half to come away with a lopsided victory. Tillman gave them a cushion in the third quarter when he picked off an underthrown pass by Blaine Gabbert and ran it back 36 yards to make it 13-3, getting some good blocks along the way. And Briggs came through with the game out of hand in the
Editor’s note: The following is a partial transcript from an Illini Drive interview with Illinois volleyball coach Kevin Hambly and senior setter Annie Luhrsen. Illini Drive: It was a tough weekend. Two five-set losses against Ohio State and Penn State. I guess from a player perspective, how tough of a weekend was that for you guys to swallow and put behind you? Luhrsen: I mean, you want to
take the good and bad. There was a lot of stuff that we figured out as a team. That’s going to be really important for us for the rest of the season. And I think that’s more important than looking at the results. We’re not happy with the results. No one wants to lose. But I think that I’m most excited that we’re playing Wednesday because we get to get back in the gym right away and get another match in.
ID: What do you like about the Wednesday-Saturday, as opposed to the doubleheader on the weekend? AL: For us coming off this weekPHELAN M. EBENHACK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman intercepts a Jacksonville Jaguars pass before running it back for a 36-yard touchdown, Sunday in Jacksonville, Fla. fourth on a ball that was deflected, returning it 36 yards. “I’ve never seen anything like it, two straight weeks the same two guys with pick sixes,” Brian Urlacher said. “It’s fun to be part of it and watch these guys do it.” They’ve been doing it for a long time, actually, carving marks in the Bears’ record book. Tillman became the franchise leader
with his eighth career defensive touchdown on Sunday, moving ahead of Mike Brown, and Briggs isn’t far behind. The seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker now has six defensive TDs in his career — five on interceptions. The accomplishments are hard to ignore, even if Tillman has flown a bit under the radar. He didn’t make the Pro Bowl until last season, his ninth.
end, I think we made a lot of progress from Friday to Saturday, and we just want to build off of that. And when you have five days (Sunday to Thursday) in the gym to practice, it’s not hard to stay motivated. But it’s different when you have your Wednesday match to get your mind on right away. We’re just excited to come out and show more of what we showed Saturday.
ID: What’s the skinny on those two teams (Michigan and Michigan State)? Hambly: Michigan is a team
that always competes hard and is one of the tougher teams to beat at their place. They always seem to bring their best matches at their place. And I don’t know what our record is there, but it hasn’t been great over the time. Michigan State, I would say like I said about Ohio State, is like a Chinese fire drill, where there is a lot of offense going on. Real fast, it’s really hard to keep track where players are. And so you’ve gotta be really good about seeing the game in front of you, and we have to be really solid on defense. ID: Let’s go away from volleyball. Coach, you were in Illini Athletes Sound Off, even though you’re a coach. ... The second question, “What is the best thing about fall weather?” This is from a California guy: “I like kind of dark, cool, dreary days.” Have you now conformed to East Central Illinois? KH: The thing about California is it’s all sunny. The mornings in California are always overcast and hazy, and I love that part. That’s my favorite part. I used to love going to the beach and hanging out there and swimming in the ocean and going for a jog.
