New RSO aims to unite students in agriculture BY LIZ KOEHLER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
A new student organization aimed at bringing together students interested in agriculture opened for membership Tuesday. The registered student organization Collegiate Farm Bureau, or CFB, is dedicated to educating students about all of the components of agriculture. Members are encouraged to branch out from their specialized majors to learn about the subject as a whole and to build a network with others in the field. CFB will work closely with the Illinois Farm Bureau, or IFB, whose mission is to “improve the economic wellbeing of agriculture and enrich the quality of farm family life,” according to its website. Claire Benjamin, senior in ACES, is the founder and president of the group. She said they plan to expose members to agriculture-related issues that reach outside their majors.
“Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our majors and our individual parts of agriculture that we forget about agriculture as a whole and these larger factors that affect our majors and careers,” she said. Benjamin interned with IFB over the summer, and her main project was to start the organization on campus when she returned to school. Benjamin said joining the RSO will provide students with the ability to establish a connection with IFB, which can continue throughout their careers. Melissa Rhode, director of membership and programs at IFB, spoke to the students Tuesday about the value of joining the group. “If you come from a farm, a rural community or have an interest in agriculture, Collegiate Farm Bureau is for you,” she said. On Oct. 30, CFB will host an Agriculture Policy Fair, during which the

The petascale computing project Blue Waters, which has been under construction since November 2008, is almost ready for use. Though the supercomputer is completely installed, it still needs to go through testing. The University’s National Center for Supercomputing Applications, which operates Blue Waters, is working with Cray Inc., the company that built the system, to facilitate performance testing. “(We are) working with Cray to test the performance of the supercomputer ... (and) collecting data to show how it will perform,” center spokeswoman Trish Barker said. The center will have to send the test results to the National Science Foundation, the organization that funded Blue Waters, before being given final approval. Barker said it could take until the end of the year or more for the supercomputer to receive approval. Blue Waters is among the top supercomputers in the world, Barker said. With the ability to make 11.5 quadrillion calculations per second, compared with trillions per second in the past, Blue Waters will give scientists more detailed data for their research than previous supercomputers. “What we’re most excited about is what that system is going to mean for science,” said Cray spokesman Nick Davis. “We’re excited to build a system like Blue Waters and put in the hands of all its users and be able to see the scientific results that will come from that system.”
About 40 researchers are waiting to reach those results. One of those researchers, University physics professor Klaus Schulten, has already used an early version of the system. The Blue Waters Early Science System ran for a few weeks in March and gave Schulten’s team the opportunity to test the system. The team also did research on the HIV capsid, which is important to understanding how HIV infects human cells. “If you take the capsid and put water around it, then you’re ending up with a system of over 60 million atoms,” Schulten said. “Those are systems that were too large to be simulated in the old days ... but with Blue Waters, we can do such simulations.” Schulten modeled many important properties of the capsid, but he is now waiting on Blue Waters to come online to simulate the entire capsid. He said with further experimentation, he hopes to fi gure out how to destabilize the virus and take away its infectivity. “We have a lot of work ahead of us,” Schulten said. “We took the fi rst step right away when Blue Waters came out ... but we still need to complete it, and for that, we need Blue Waters.” The date by which Schulten and other researchers will be able to use Blue Waters depends on when tests are fi nished. But Barker said the supercomputer will likely go into operation before the opening party on March 28.

Holonyak’s star shines brightly

Whether it’s the lighting in a classroom, the brake lights on a car or the backlighting on your television, you’ve probably been exposed to the invention of alumnus and longtime professor Nick Holonyak: LED lighting. The light-emitting diode, or the “ultimate lamp” as Holonyak calls it, is one of the most energy-saving forms of lighting available today. Tuesday marked the 50th birthday of the invention, and that morning, students, faculty and children gathered in the South Lounge at the Illini Union to celebrate. The event was sponsored by the department of electrical and computer engineering. Attendees were offered a slice of birthday cake, and Holonyak signed autographs and answered questions from the audience. The first 100 people in line for autographs also received a complementary copy of “A Brilliant Idea,” a documentary about Holonyak’s work with the LED.

Pakistani soldiers carry wounded Pakistani girl Malala Yousufzai from a military helicopter to a military hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan. A Taliban gunman walked up to a bus taking children home from school in Pakistan’s volatile Swat Valley on Tuesday and shot and wounded the 14-year-old activist known for championing the education of girls and publicizing atrocities committed by the Taliban, officials said.
Taliban gunman shoots, injures 14-year-old education activist BY REBECCA SANTANA AND SHERIN ZADA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINGORA, Pakistan — Fourteen-year-old Malala Yousufzai was admired across a battlescarred region of Pakistan for exposing the Taliban’s atrocities and advocating for girls’ education in the face of religious extremists. On Tuesday, the Taliban nearly killed her to quiet her message. A gunman walked up to a bus taking children home from school in the volatile northern Swat Valley and shot Malala in the head and neck. Another girl on the bus was also wounded. The young activist was airlifted by helicopter to a military hospital in the frontier city of Peshawar. A doctor in the city of Mingora, Tariq Mohammad, said her wounds weren’t life-threatening, but a provincial informa-
tion minister said after a medical board examined the girl that the next few days would be crucial. Malala began writing a blog when she was just 11 under the pseudonym Gul Makai for the BBC about life under the Taliban, and began speaking out publicly in 2009 about the need for girls’ education — which the Taliban strongly opposes. The extremist movement was quick to claim responsibility for shooting her. “This was a new chapter of obscenity, and we have to finish this chapter,” Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan by telephone. The shooting provoked outrage across the country, angering Pakistanis who have seen a succession of stories about violence against women by the Taliban. “This attack cannot scare us nor the courageous Malala. This cowardly act cannot deter Malala to give up her efforts,” said Azizul
Hasan, one of the girl’s cousins. Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf condemned the attack and called her a daughter of Pakistan. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland called the shooting “barbaric” and “cowardly.” In her BBC blog, Malala wrote about not wearing her uniform to school after officials warned it might attract the Taliban’s attention, and how many other students moved out of the valley after the Taliban issued an edict banning girls from school. She wrote about how the Taliban movement had kept her family from going out after sunset. While chairing a children’s assembly supported by UNICEF in the valley last year, the then13-year-old championed a greater role for young people. “Girl members play an active role,” she said, according to an article on the U.N. organization’s
website. “We have highlighted important issues concerning children, especially promoting girls’ education in Swat.” She was nominated last year for the International Children’s Peace Prize, which is organized by the Dutch organization KidsRights to highlight the work of children around the world. Malala was shot on her way home from a school run by her father, Ziauddin, who is also known in the valley for promoting education of girls. The bus was about to leave the school grounds in Mingora, the largest city in Swat Valley, when a bearded man approached it and asked which one of the girls was Malala, said Rasool Shah, Mingora’s police chief. Another girl pointed to Malala, but the activist denied it was her and the gunmen then shot both of the girls, the police chief said.
Holonyak developed the invention in 1962 while he was working with General Electric. “It started off as a laser; that is a simple form of LED,” he said. “But if it works at that level, it’s a message that it will go further. How you get there is more work, and that’s something for all of us (to learn).” At Tuesday’s event, he described how he went from living a coal miner’s life with his dad in southern Illinois, to earning his bachelor’s, master’s and Ph.D. from the University. Holonyak was the first Ph.D. student under renowned physicist John Bardeen at the University and worked with him on many innovations over the years. In 1963, Holonyak became a University faculty member. Stefan Hiller, senior in LAS, is an international student from Ecuador studying physics. He spoke with Holonyak while getting an autograph and said it was an incredible experience. “He is totally an inspiration to me,” Hiller said. “Knowing he was one of the main students from Bardeen, the only physicist who has won two Nobel prizes in physics in human history. ... It’s awesome.” Hiller said one of his reasons for coming to study at the University was because there are so many inventors in the area of physics.

ratory, said he thinks the University has benefited greatly from the innovations of Holonyak. “I think our College of Engineering has a worldwide reputation,” he said. “People know of Urbana-Champaign and people know of Nick Holonyak and John Bardeen, and students definitely want to come because of that.” Bashir is a colleague of Holonyak and said he is a “phenomenal human being.” “His contributions have literally changed the world,” he said. “Every 10 years he has come up with something really big, his biggest being the LED, which we are here to celebrate today.” Brad Petersen, associate director of external relations in the Department of ECE, said he thinks it was a good way for students to see how Holonyak has approached his life and career. “For me personally, I think it’s great for students to see someone who has long roots in the state of Illinois and who has also made considerable contributions in his career.” Although the purpose of the event was to celebrate the success of the LED, Holonyak addressed students in regards to the future of innovation. “When you ask what’s left for young people, believe me, we’ve got nothing but problems, and you can sure come up with better ideas,” he said. “You young people are bound to do better work and push further.”

However, the leaders hope to branch out to the rest of campus with a food drive on the Quad in the spring.

Video gambling goes live in Ill. bars, restaurants to help fund schools, roads BY TAMMY WEBBER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Video gambling went live in 65 Illinois bars and restaurants on Tuesday, more than three years after lawmakers approved it as a way to help raise billions to help fi x schools and roads. The Illinois Gaming Board has licensed 341 businesses and fraternal and veteran organizations — though not all have their terminals installed yet — and is processing more than 2,200 other applications, gambling offi cials said. “The IGB’s staff has done a tremendous job to ... bring this new industry to Illinois,” board Chairman Aaron Jaffe said in a written statement. All sites and operators must undergo a background check.
Lawmakers approved video gambling in 2009 to help fund a $31 billion construction program to fi x schools, roads, bridges and other projects, and estimated at the time that it would raise about $375 million a year for the state. A spokeswoman for Gov. Pat Quinn did not immediately respond to a request for updated projections Tuesday. Jeff Glover, manager of Chino’s Pizzeria in the Chicago suburb of Justice, said he’d just fi nished mopping when he saw the restaurant’s three terminals activated around 11:30 a.m. “I threw $5 in there and it played normal,” said Glover, adding that customers have been frustrated after months of waiting. “Once word gets out that these are on, it should be really busy.”

Blindfolded and handcuffed suspected al-Qaida members are led away on July 20 to detention centers in an Iraqi army base in Hillah, about 60 miles south of Baghdad. Al-Qaida is slowly resurging in Iraq and has set up training camps for insurgents in the nation’s western deserts.
Al-Qaida on rise in Iraq over past 10 weeks BY LARA JAKES AND QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — Al-Qaida is rebuilding in Iraq and has set up training camps for insurgents in the nation’s western deserts as the extremist group seizes on regional instability and government security failures to regain strength, officials say. Iraq has seen a jump in al-Qaida attacks over the last 10 weeks, and officials believe most of the fighters are former prisoners who have either escaped from jail or were released by Iraqi authorities for lack of evidence after the U.S. military withdrawal last December. Many are said to be Saudi or from Sunni-dominated Gulf states. During the war and its aftermath, U.S. forces, joined by allied Sunni groups and later by Iraqi counterterror forces, managed to beat back al-Qaida’s Iraqi branch. But now, Iraqi and U.S. officials say, the insurgent group has more than doubled in numbers from a year ago — from about 1,000 to 2,500 fighters. And it is carry-
ing out an average of 140 attacks each week across Iraq, up from 75 attacks each week earlier this year, according to Pentagon data. “AQI is coming back,” U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, declared in an interview last month while visiting Baghdad. The new growth of al-Qaida in Iraq, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq, is not entirely unexpected. Last November, the top U.S. military official in Iraq, Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, predicted “turbulence” ahead for Iraq’s security forces. But he doubted Iraq would return to the days of widespread fighting between Shiite militias and Sunni insurgents, including al-Qaida, that brought the Islamic country to the brink of civil war. While there’s no sign of Iraq headed back toward sectarian warfare — mostly because Shiite militias are not retaliating to their deadly attacks — al-Qaida’s revival is terrifying to ordinary Iraqis. Generally, the militant group does not does not launch attacks or
otherwise operate beyond Iraq’s borders. For years, it has targeted Shiite pilgrims, security forces, officials in the Shiite-led government and — until it left — the U.S. military. On Tuesday, a series of bombings and drive-by shootings killed six people, including three soldiers and a judge, in Baghdad and the former al-Qaida strongholds of Mosul and Tal Afar in northern Iraq. Each round of bombings and shootings the terror group unleashes across the country, sometimes killing dozens on a single day, fuels simmering public resentment toward the government, which has unable to curb the violence. And the rise of Sunni extremists who aim to overthrow a Shiite-linked government in neighboring Syria has brought a new level of anxiety to Iraqis who fear the same thing could happen in Baghdad. “Nobody here believes the government’s claims that al-Qaida is weak and living its last days in Iraq,” said Fuad Ali, 41, a Shiite who works for the government.
“Al-Qaida is much stronger than what the Iraqi officials are imagining,” Ali said. “The terrorist group is able to launch big attacks and free its members from Iraqi prisons, and this indicates that al-Qaida is stronger than our security forces. The government has failed to stop the increasing number of victims who were killed since the start of this year.” In the vast desert of western Iraq near the Syrian border, security forces have discovered the remnants of recent insurgent training camps, said Lt. Gen. Ali Ghaidan, commander of the army’s ground forces. An army raid last month on Iraq’s sprawling al-Jazeera region, which spans three provinces, found a 10-tent campsite littered with thousands of bullet shell casings, Ghaidan told The Associated Press in an interview. “This indicates that this place has been used as a shooting range to train terrorists,” said Ghaidan, one of the highest ranking officials in the Iraqi army.

Israel’s prime minister orders early elections BY ARON HELLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
J ERUSA L EM — Israel’s prime minister on Tuesday ordered new parliamentary elections in early 2013, roughly eight months ahead of schedule, setting the stage for a lightning quick campaign that will likely win him re-election. For nearly four years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presided over a conservative coalition that has proven stable in a country where governments rarely serve out a full term. Re-election could grant him a fresh mandate to continue his tough stance toward Iran’s suspect nuclear program, put the already deadlocked peace process with the Palestinians further into deep freeze and complicate relations with the
U.S. if President Barack Obama is re-elected. In a nationally televised address, Netanyahu said he was forced to call the snap polls after his coalition could not agree on a budget. “I have decided that it is in Israel’s better interest to go to elections now and as quickly as possible,” he said. “For Israel, it is preferable to have as short a campaign as possible, one of three months over one that would last in practice an entire year and damage Israel’s economy.” With no viable alternative on the horizon, Netanyahu is expected to easily be re-elected as prime minister: He is riding a wave of popularity and his opposition is fragmented and leaderless.

HPV vaccine not just for the slutty
JOHNIVAN DARBY THE DAILY ILLINI
It’s time for the law to catch up with public opinion about same-sex marriage
NORA IBRAHIM

espite its origin as a religious institution, marriage is now and likely will remain a legal and governmental institution. Marriage is a representation of a couple’s love and devotion for each other just as much as it is a vehicle for ascertaining several legal rights, at both the state and federal levels. But because of its religious overtones, the majority of U.S. states have refused to grant same-sex couples the same marital rights afforded to opposite-sex couples, even though half of Americans now favor same-sex marriage. A handful of states have legally recognized the institution, while others have opted to grant such couples civil unions — keeping civil unions equitable to marriage but unquestionably unequal. Since the passing of the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act in 2010, same-sex couples have been able to bind each other not in marriage but in civil unions, an institution all of its own. On Sept. 27, the Circuit Court of Cook County heard oral arguments from a case brought to the court in May. The case was brought to the court by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois and Lambda Legal, which is “seeking freedom to marry for same-sex couples in Illinois.” Lambda Legal, like most couples who so desire a legal marriage, understands that there are differences between a civil union and a marriage and that, at least culturally, only marriage provides feelings of family, togetherness, commitment and longevity. The Circuit Court is set to hear the case Nov. 7, and we can only hope that this circumvention of the legislative branch means this state will soon be on par with the likes of Massachusetts and New York. Even with a governor who has openly stated his support for same-sex marriage, a court ruling might better win the case for marriage freedom, all the while attracting attention that this issue deserves. Although not one of the major talking points in the presidential debates or even at state-level governments, public opinion in support of same-sex marriage is rising in Illinois. Two weeks ago, The Daily Illini reported that statistics from the Southern Illinois University’s Paul Simon Institute for Public Policy show a 10 percent increase in support for samesex marriage from 2009 to 2011. The culture that supports LGBT rights also has strengthened over the years. Planners of the Chicago Pride Parade had to lengthen the parade route by five blocks to help accommodate the estimated 50,000 -attendee increase. That’s not to mention the 750,000 who attended in 2011 or the increase of 200,000 attendees from five years before that, as the Chicago Tribune reported in June. But that increasing support statewide is not yet satisfactory. Public opinion alone can’t make a civil union equal to a marriage for same-sex couples. Utah has a law that says the state will not honor the rights of a marriage or civil union granted by another state or nation. Not only that, but they currently maintain the lowest public support for same-sex marriage in the country. Illinois is far above that, and the people of this state have begun to realize it — they now realize it’s to not only let gay and lesbian couples sign the legal document, but let them tie the knot the right way.

we expect it from even the least controversial issues and smallest of government offices. Every idea needs to be modified to catch the public’s eye. When an ideal like freedom isn’t “enhanced” in the way President Obama hopes to enhance it for us through handouts or a specific “agenda” that purports to spread democracy, we’re not only bored by it, but we silently wonder what is wrong with it because it isn’t objectified by adjectives. Looks like a constitutional guarantee, but wait, there’s more. The words that make political commercials effective and campaigns rich come Inauguration Day also make the ideas they represent modified. The better, faster, stronger ideas come with airs of distinction. In essence, the new adjective describing the idea changes the idea and what it means. There isn’t much of a place for the originals anymore. The first guaranteed freedoms are ancient now; it is the era of upgrading liberty. Each upgrade is geared toward gaining the attraction of a particular voting bloc. The individual blocs and the potential features each bloc values the most are cobbled together to form the new version of liberty. Eventually the original meaning of freedom is lost in the forest of new enhancements, and the first practical use of the product is overshadowed. Does anybody want freedom that’s just freedom?
ost people remember when their folks tried to give them the “sex talk.” It was extremely uncomfortable, awkward and felt unnecessary. Maybe your parents split up the “talk,” one covering the hairy emotions associated with sex and the other talking straight up anatomy. Maybe your parents were like mine, who cracked open their physiology textbooks from their schooling years: “And here’s the ovum, which undergoes oogenesis. The corona radiata is the layer of cells surrounding ...” Sex is a tough subject to be open about, and as a result, it is usually hushed, its meaning lost in between the lines. But no matter how hard it is to be serious about sex, it’s even harder to hold an open dialogue about sexual health — and specifically, the human papilloma virus, otherwise known as HPV. Last week, Gardasil, one of two vaccines protecting against many forms of HPV, was given the OK in a study conducted by the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center. The study followed about 200,000 subjects after having been administered the HPV vaccine and determined it is safe for use. At most, the vaccination could result in a skin infection or same-day fainting — a preferred alternative to cervical cancer. This is a fantastic step forward for cancer prevention, and hopefully, it will drive down the death rate due to cervical cancer, which is one of the most fatal cancers observed in women. However, the study won’t dispel the controversial nature of the vaccine. In the six years since the Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccine, Gardasil has undergone so much scrutiny for a vast number of reasons — but all of them come back to society’s discomfort with acknowledging the nature of sex. I was with my roommates and their friends when we started talking about the vaccination. It seemed that several people we knew had received the first vaccination (out of three). But a few years after Gardasil was approved by the FDA, many began to worry that the newness of the drug meant there was still a possibility of a side effect that was yet to be discovered. It doesn’t make much sense because it’s a preemptive sort of worry. Nonetheless, it effectively stopped girls from receiving the rest of the vaccinations. While I was in high school, I remember the administrators encouraging the student body to get vaccinated. But the girls I knew made fun of each other if they did end up receiving the vaccination because that must mean “she’s a whore.” Some parents even looked down on their friends for getting their girls vaccinated because she must have been somehow “tainted.” And, even in the political arena, negative attention surrounded the HPV vaccine when, in 2007, former GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry issued an executive order to vaccinate every schoolgirl. He received a huge backlash from the Republican party and other candidates for having government meddle in an issue so personal as vaccinating one’s children. I doubt those who took part in the backlash, both on the community and political levels, understood that cervical cancer is directly caused by HPV, and that the vaccine would prevent transmission of the virus. I also doubt they understood that the vaccination is most effective if administered prior to being sexually active. It’s this lack of understanding about the vaccine that puts people off from promoting it. There may be a general understanding that Gardasil can lower your chances of developing cervical cancer, but people have still stigmatized the vaccine: Those who receive it must be sexually promiscuous — why else would they need to be vaccinated? The medicine behind prevention has made great strides in progress within the past decade. We have the power to make cervical cancer virtually non-existent. But we need to catch up psychologically. We need to put aside our fears for being considered socially tainted because risking a cancer diagnosis isn’t worth fitting into social standards.

The Internet: A world of knowledge, superpower or school yard brawl JOHN BUYSSE Opinions columnist
In
many ways, the Internet is the ultimate superpower. It allows us to teleport anywhere in the world with the click of a button. It allows us to manipulate images and alter reality. It allows us to access endless knowledge about everything in the history of the world. Google Maps alone allows us to fly and see the world from a bird’s eye view. When it comes to fictional superheroes and villains, just one person has the power in his or her hands. The Internet is everywhere and billions of people use it each day. In fact, Facebook just reached one billion users last week. Unfortunately, the Internet, like any superpower, has the potential to be used for both good and evil. On one hand, websites like Change.org promote both awareness of and action related to important issues that are not always given the spotlight. The Internet has allowed inconsequential but heart-warming videos like flash mob wedding proposals to sweep the Internet and put a smile on the face of anyone who watches. At a more micro-level, students feel the positive effects of the Internet through websites like Compass and Moodle that we use at the University. These course sites allow for further discussion and information sharing that go beyond what a 50-minute class session often allows. All of those reasons don’t even include the overarching idea that
the Internet is quite literally a digital one-volume encyclopedia that allows us to learn more about anything that piques our curiosity. As with any positive force in the world, the Internet has users that undercut it as a force for good by being evil. In an act of what many would consider cyberterrorism, Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks organization unleashed thousands of classified documents from the U.S. government to the digital world in 2010. In 2011, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation was entrenched in a shocking hacking scandal in which it was discovered that employees at several of his news and entertainment companies obtained private information about public figures through illegal hacking of phones, computers and other personal devices. Of course, cyberbullying is the most topical and widespread evil use of the Internet. A 2011 Pew Internet survey showed that 88 percent of teens who use social media have seen someone be cruel on a social network. Cyberbullying and online negativity are not strictly teen issues, If you were to view just about any video on YouTube where commenting is possible, there might be just as many negative comments as positive ones, but often times, the negativity drastically outweighs positivity. This is true of just about any Internet content. Recent articles from The Daily Illini on fraternity culture and studying abroad drew an outpouring of negativity. At times, these comments were shocking to read through as many readers launched personal attacks on the authors and failed to comment on
the point of the piece or further the discourse in a meaningful way. The thing that stands out the most when going through comments on those articles and Internet content in general is how most negative comments come from users with fake names to mask their true identities. This is the digital version of Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak, but it’s generally being used for all the wrong reasons. Anonymity is often ideal in situations where feedback is given because it allows people to be honest about a subject without needing to share their identities. This is no different for the Internet and, in many ways, seems tailor-made for online activity — people can make statements without having them show up as results in a Google search for their name. That being said, the convenient anonymity that the Internet brings is also its biggest weakness. By allowing people to passionately make personal attacks that can affect the mental well-being of the victim, the Internet has become a breeding ground for what was once restricted to bar fights and schoolyard brawls. All of these scenarios are now facts of life for citizens of this digital age, and there is nothing we can do about what others choose to post. We can, however, control whether we proudly use our own name to share good or hide behind fake names to spread evil. Either way, we must always remember that using the Internet is not only a privilege, but a power that must be used responsibly.

Products, political values modified by adjectives, advertisements DYLAN HOYER Opinions columnist
If
you are lucky enough to have the time to turn on your TV during these midtermapproaching weeks, you’re probably also used to the hundreds of advertisements that accompany that glorious tradition. Channels left and right (or up and down, depending on your remote configuration) fill airtime with companies and organizations pushing their products. The American public is so battlehardened by the freakishly fantastic adjectives, which ornate advertising execs and their witty writers pull out of the woodwork, that we expect it from even the least of items. Everything needs to be modified to catch the public’s eye. When a product like a ShamWow isn’t “enhanced” or a “special double offer,” we’re not only bored by it, but we silently wonder what’s wrong with it. Looks like a towel, but wait, there’s more! The words that make infomercials effective and marketing departments rich come bonus season also make the product more effective. The better, faster, stronger product comes with an air of distinction. In essence, the new adjective describing the product changes the product’s description. There isn’t much of a place for the originals of things anymore. The first iPhones are ancient now; it is the era of the update. Each
update is geared toward gaining the attraction of a particular market segment. The individual consumer identities and the potential features each identity values most are cobbled together to form the new version of the product. Eventually the original product is lost in the forest of features, and the first practical use of the product is overshadowed. Does anybody want a phone that’s just a phone? In the debates over which product is better, hashed out between programs in dueling advertisements and blogging, the focus zooms in not on the similarities but on the differences. Water loses to new “vitamin-enhanced water.” Ordinary tissues fail to match “tissues with lotion infused.” The original, ordinary and everyday fades in comparison to the light of the newness in almost all things. Does this also hold true in the politics of a nation? Is there any difference in our perception between products and policies? If you are lucky enough to have had the time to turn on your TV during these election-approaching weeks, you’re probably also used to the hundreds of political advertisements and debates that accompany that glorious tradition. Channels leaning to the left and right (or up and down depending on your political configuration) fill airtime with candidates and super PACs pushing their agendas.

GARDENS FROM PAGE 6A “It’s just a great pleasure to me to take care of something and to see it flourish,” Chen added. Care requirements for gardening can be often intimidating and can easily dissuade busy students from purchasing a plant to get started. With a little research, however, students can find plants that only require weekly watering and some sunlight. “The maintenance of (my) plants is easy: simply keep them in front of the window to get adequate sunlight and water every few days,” Baltz said. For those who don’t want the
clutter in their living space, there are other opportunities to garden on campus. The Campus Beautification Project is an RSO that works with the University and the Champaign-Urbana areas to make the campus aesthetically pleasing and to promote sustainability through planting trees, grass and flowers. “It’s so easy – you get dirt, you get what you like, and you just plant,” said David Schwartz, president of the organization and junior in LAS. “It makes things smell nicer, it makes things feel nicer, it makes things look nicer. And it’s something to do, it’s a nice hobby. It’s rewarding.” Gardening can even become more than just a hobby. Baltz
explained that for her, it is a symbolic relationship with another species. Nature lover or not, caring for plants can be a rewarding experience, as a hobby, room décor or something you love. Amanda Miesner, freshman in FAA, feels a close attachment to her ginseng ficus bonsai, African violet, Hawaiian pink quill, palm bonsai and red anne plants. “It’s such a nice feeling to see something you’ve nurtured thrive and grow,” Miesner said. “As long as I’m in a dorm, my plants are my replacement for pets.”

The dark side of late-night eating and students’ bodies BY ADLAI STEVENSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Demands from classes and events in students’ daily lives can knock them out, especially freshmen new to the game. But this overload can develop a hankering as well. As it nears a new day, students try to work hard for tomorrow’s classes, but there may be only one thing on their minds: a cheeseburger. The ISR dining hall’s newly implemented late-night mealtime helps fulfill the cravings of hungry college night owls. Like PAR’s “After Dark” schedule, students can now eat full meals from a buffet of choices between 8 p.m. and midnight. However, eating from that spread of food late at night raises concerns for student nutrition. “Excessive eating late in the day can be harmful to a student’s lifestyle in broad ways,” said Margarita Teran-Garcia, assistant professor of food science and human nutrition. “Primarily for students, an overload of food consumes too much of our energy.” Full, dense meals add stress to digestion because excessive fats overwork the body. A late-night meal might be a nice break from homework, but odds are students will become more easily worn out and won’t get as much work done if they consume high-fat foods. Students should also be careful to note when they eat, especially as bedtime approaches, Teran-Garcia said. “It’s best to leave at least two hours between your last full meal and when you sleep so that your body has time to process the food,” she said. “Going to sleep after eating takes away from your rest since your body’s still processing your last meal when it should be recovering for tomorrow. Students won’t be as effective as they regularly are because of this.” Despite concerns, Teran-Garcia acknowledged the reality of college life. With busy schedules, students need to get by on what’s easiest for them. “But students studying do need energy, and these food options are readily available,” she said. There are other benefits to latenight eating for students as well.

MELISSA MCCABE THE DAILY ILLINI
A dining hall worker swipes students in to PAR’s “After Dark” dinner on Tuesday night. PAR started offering a late dinner option last fall, and ISR started offering one this year. Abigail Ling, sophomore in Business, usually finishes her course load at 6:30 p.m. The “After Dark” meal time at PAR is easiest for her to go to, as most dining halls on campus close around 7 p.m. or earlier. “It’s nice to be able to eat if you miss dinner and want a full meal,” Ling said. She visits the PAR dining hall often for its convenience, vegetarian options and variety in food. Alf Sanford, freshman in LAS, enjoys the late-night dining hall option as well. He regularly eats late in the day, and the “After Dark” option accounts for his eating habits. “I always eat a lot before bed since it helps relax me,” Sanford said, with a full plate of egg rolls and stir-fry that he ordered at PAR. “I love it here since there’s more options to choose from than what’s available at the snack marts.” Students should follow a schedule that works best for them, but with certain guidelines, said Lillian Karina Diaz Rios, nutrition graduate assistant at the McKinley Health Center. Eating habits should be balanced between the five main food groups so that students can stay on top of their game during a busy day. Diaz Rios emphasized the importance of snacks and breakfast for students.
“A meal after waking is a great pick-me-up for the body that will determine how well students function throughout the day,” Diaz Rios said. “Snacks are important as well to maintain energy. Fruits and vegetables, granola, whole wheat, most options high in fiber and protein are good choices.” Carrots, almonds, pretzels, apples, oranges and even certain energy bars are recommended, she said. Healthy snacks eaten in moderation throughout the day sustain energy and keep students’ weight in check. Students under stress should try to occasionally eat so they can work efficiently throughout the day. Frequent binge eating may cause one’s energy to drop, among other detrimental effects. College asks a lot of students, and eating is another area for exercising self-control. Although the “After Dark” time slot and other food options on campus may be appealing, bad lifestyle habits could potentially slow them down in the long run. “If students aren’t careful with food, they’ll have another type of hangover to worry about,” Teran-Garcia said.

Afghanistan’s 1st female rapper expresses hope for her homeland
50% OFF YOUR CAR WASH WITH AN OIL CHANGE Corner of W. Bradley & County Fair, Champaign, (Near Parkland College)
BY RAHIM FAIEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — “Listen to my story! Listen to my pain and suffering!” Afghanistan’s first female rapper, Sosan Firooz, pleads into her microphone. With her first rap song, the outspoken 23-year-old singer is making history in her homeland, where society frowns on women who take the stage. She is already shunned by some of her relatives. But for Firooz, the best way to express herself is through rap, a genre that is just starting to generate a following in Afghanistan. She sings about repression of women, her hopes for a peaceful Afghanistan and the misery she says she experienced as a small child living in neighboring Iran. Her family fled there during the Afghan civil war of the 1990s and the hardline Taliban regime’s rise to power in 1996. During her five-year stay there, she said the Iranians looked with disdain on Afghan refugees. “I remember while we were in Iran, we were called ‘dirty Afghans’ and told to go to the back of the line at the bakery,” Firooz, who also spent time as a refugee in Pakistan and returned to Afghanistan with her family seven years ago, told The Associated Press in an interview. Her song’s message to Afghans: Stay in your homeland. Those who leave, she sings, will only get jobs washing dishes or working at a car wash. “They will miss their homeland,” she raps in a staccato style, part rap and part hip-hop. “They will want to kiss the dust of their homeland.” “What is the result of Afghans being refugees in Iran and Pakistan?” she raps in Dari, one of Afghanistan’s two main languages. “Half of them are addicts and the other half are terrorists!” So far, the song, called “Our Neighbors,” has only been released on YouTube, with a video that shows a series of pictures of Firooz posing in a hip-hop style gear, with jeans, dangling chains and bracelets. In some pictures, she wears a bandana with skulls, but her long hair flows freely, with no headscarf — a rarity among Afghan women, including the few female singers. Firooz is also an actress, appearing in secondary roles in a number of local TV soap operas. Earlier this month, she sang at a three-day music festival in Kabul. Because social interaction between men and women are restricted, the musicians played for a female audience the first day and males the last two days.

TUNE IN EVERYDAY AHMAD JAMSHID THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Afghanistan’s first female rapper, Sosan Firooz, sings in a studio in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Oct. 3. The 23-year-old singer is making history in her homeland, where society frowns on women who take the stage. She is still not yet widely known among Afghans, but she’s breaking traditional rules for women in a very conservative society, where some women don’t go outside without wearing blue burqas that cover them from head to toe. Violence against women is still common in Afghanistan, especially in remote areas. There are reports of women being stoned or executed in public for having affairs with men. Women are arrested and others set themselves on fire to escape domestic violence. Women accused of adultery have been killed or imprisoned. “We want an end to all cruelty against women and children,” Firooz chants. Firooz’s uncle has cut off relations with his family because she appears on TV and sings, said her father, Abdul Ghafar Firooz. He said he has quit his job at the government-run electric department to accompany her whenever she leaves the house and protect her as she pursues her acting and musical career. “I am her secretary, answering her phones. I am her bodyguard, protecting her. When she’s out, I must be with her,” her father said. “Every parent must support their daughters and sons to help them progress,” he said.

THE PATH AHEAD Breakdown of places to jog on campus during autumn vating and get your adrenaline pumping, which could help you push through those hard spots during a run.
HALEY JONES Staff writer
Families do exist
F
all is the perfect season for going on a run outside, and many students are taking advantage of it. Runners are often seen during the day getting their workout in. I have compiled some of my favorite running routes on campus, with each trail close to three miles.
Greek row
S. WRIGHT ST
GREEN ST JOHN ST
Illini Union
S. GOODWIN AVE
This route hits up many of the Greek houses and apartments. The trail is not for the faint of heart. Many upperclassmen on balconies are not afraid to yell something down to you, such as “Run, Forrest, Run,” or something as simple as “Hey, HEY You! HEY GIRL!” If you don’t want to risk being yelled at while jogging, this may not be the route for you. But some people love to hear the yells and use them for encouragement. It’s also a great trail to show off your rocking running technique. Many sororities and fraternities like to spend time outside the front of their house while the weather is nice, so you will be seen. The idea of people watching you could be very moti-
There’s not much of an age difference in the student population. Every day, students are surrounded by 18- to 23-year-olds. This running route allows people to see that babies still exist in the world. The sites to be seen are mothers pushing strollers, old men walking their dogs, and dads mowing their lawns. This route can be quite homey because you see people the same age as your parents and grandparents. Running past homes is a nice change from the usual scenery of cold dormitories or apartments. The trail is also very shaded from the trees in people’s yards. Overall, this route is relaxing because of the shade and the residential scenery.
Campus tour The last time students most likely got a tour of campus was when they visited the University during their senior or junior year of high school. This route goes down Green Street and showcases the many eateries and bars the campus has to offer. It then heads down First Street, where the soccer fields and Ikenberry are visible. The route then goes between the Quad and the South Quad,
This route showcases the scenic areas of Champaign-Urbana. The round barns can be seen from the roads, and the Arboretum is a big hit on the trail. Very few people are on these roads, and if there are people, they are most likely also runners. It is peaceful to be surrounded by land and no one else. It is a good way to clear your head and de-stress. Alone time is hard to find on campus, so running this route is a good way of getting some much-needed and overdue “me” time. There will gradually be more people and cars at the end of the run, so it is a slow way of bringing yourself back into the world of hustle and bustle.

passes the Morrow Plots and eventually cuts right through the Quad. This trail is a reminder of all the great places located on campus. It’s perfect for architecture lovers because you can see many University buildings on this route. However, it can be quite an intense run during passing periods. You may have to pull some James Bond moves to dodge oncoming bikers or students with large backpacks. A lot of good men were lost to crossing bike paths, so I advise going at a time when classes are in session or when the majority are over.

Plant life spruces up students’ living space Gardening can be more than a hobby BY SARAH SOENKE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
For students who are looking to decorate their dorm or apartment or to fi nd a new hobby to fill their free time, gardening can be a way to brighten up a living space on campus. During the fall season, it can be one of the most inexpensive ways as well. “This is the time of the year to start buying,” said Harriett Stensel, master gardener and volunteer at the University of Illinois Horticulture Extension’s office. “You can fi nd a lot of things on sale. ... You just want to get plants that don’t take too much care, because as a student, you’re busy.” Some of the plants that survive best during the fall and winter seasons are also the best kinds for students year-round. They require the least amount of sun and water care and they adapt well to changing temperatures. Varieties of cacti, bamboo, philodendrons and pineapple plants are just some of the options available to amateur gardeners. “They can take a lot of abuse and still live,” Stensel said. The amount of work required to care for a garden can vary from person to person, based on their growing capabilities. Students residing in dorms and apartments can grow pot and windowsill gardens, while students in houses have the option to expand into larger gardens. Emily Baltz , resident of Allen Hall and sophomore in LAS, enjoys growing basil, oregano and rosemary herbs. “I had an herb garden in my windowsill over the summer when I was in an apartment,” she said. “Now I’ve continued it on a smaller scale because there is something satisfying about fostering life. Also, the herbs smell lovely and are useful for cooking when I have the time to do so.” Other students, such as Peter Chen, senior in ACES, have been able to grow a wider variety of plants while living in residential houses. Chen’s garden includes annuals, fruit trees, strawberries, asparagus and some ginger. While Chen said he feels an obligation to garden as a horticulture major, he was also inspired by the quote, “To plant a garden is to believe in the future.”

Stewart’s journey to the Big Ten BY DAN ESCALONA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
again, earning its second lead of the match. DiBernardo once again was able to create a quick retaliation in the 68th minute. Her give-and-go passing with junior Megan Pawloski gave DiBernardo just enough free space to rip a shot that hit the crossbar and bounced down behind the Spartan’s goalkeeper. Though the goals were recorded by DiBernardo, she will be the fi rst one to offer praise to her teammates for the setup. “She realizes that those goals are the result of a lot of the team’s work,” Rayfield said. “She’s always the fi rst to point out the accomplishments of her teammates, but I know she was also very happy to have the impact because she knows how significant that win was sort of separating us in the Big Ten.” DiBernardo was able to fi nd the back of the net one last time for the game-winning goal in the 84th minute from another set-piece 23 yards out. With the wind to her back, DiBernardo sent the ball sailing
First-year men’s crosscountry coach Jake Stewart is the embodiment of perseverance. From starting his career as a walk-on at Iona to living in a garage with little pay at his fi rst coaching job, Stewart has put in countless, painstaking hours to become the head coach of a Big Ten school. To understand why Stewart has risen so quickly in the cross-country coaching ranks, it is important to know where his collegiate journey began. Stewart made Iona’s cross-country team without a scholarship. By his senior season, he became the fi rst walk-on to be named captain in team history. During his four years, Iona boasted a top-10 fi nish at the NCAA Championships and won the MAAC Championship. Though Stewart never made the NCAA Championships individually, he credits the leadership that he learned during his senior season as a formative experience in becoming a coach. Upon his graduation in late 2005 , Stewart landed a coaching gig at Western Oregon, a small Division II school in Monmouth, Ore. He described his fi rst job as a “rude awakening,” as he received a very meager salary and even had to live in a garage during his brief tenure. “It wasn’t the most glamorous start to my coaching career, but I didn’t mind it,” Stewart said. “Coaching was what I always wanted to do, and I was just glad to put my foot in the door.” After a brief stint at Western Oregon, he returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s cross-country and track and field teams. During his three-year term from 2006-08 , he was a part of a cross-country program that had national championship aspirations each season. The winning tradition Stewart stepped into at Iona is something he said exposed him to coaching at a high level. The men’s team fi nished as runnerup at the NCAA championships in 2007 and 2008, while the women’s team qualified for its fi rst championship in 2006 . Following his tenure at Iona, Stewart was selected as the cross-country coach at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, where he was named the Southland conference Coach of the Year in 2009 and 2010. Stewart says his experience in Texas allowed him to be the coach he is today. “At Lamar, I was fortunate to be hired by people who wanted to put an emphasis on distance running and allow me to grow as a coach,” Stewart said. “I don’t think I’d be in the position I’m at today if I hadn’t gone to Lamar and learned how to coach and be responsible for the success of others.” The three-year stay at Lamar opened the door for Stewart to coach at Purdue for one year before lunging at the opportunity to build a program in Champaign-Urbana. He used his connection with men’s track and fi eld coach Mike Turk to gain an inside track at getting the Illinois job when it opened last season. In six years, perseverance took Stewart from a garage in Oregon to the coach of a prominent Big Ten cross-country program. Along with his past coaching experiences, Stewart also acknowledged the influences of other coaches and mentors. For him, these mentors have instilled the ability to get the most out of his runners. The three influences Stewart said are the most impactful are his former coach at Iona, Mick Byrne, the head coach at Wisconsin; Lamar track and field coach Trey Clark; and Turk . As Stewart has settled in, he is already focused on building a winning culture.

Illini move on from Penn State loss with their heads in the game BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER
Things are a bit different for the Illinois volleyball team this week, and after last weekend’s pair of five-set losses, it’s hard to consider change a bad thing. The Illinois volleyball team (8-8, 2-4 Big Ten) will play its fi rst Wednesday night match of the season when it heads to Ann Arbor to face Michigan (146, 2-4) to try and stop a threegame losing streak and resur-
face above .500. The Illini’s 8-8 record has come as a surprise to most, as they were ranked No. 7 in the preseason coaches poll. Head coach Kevin Hambly said he didn’t anticipate hovering around the .500 mark at this point in the season. “Did I expect to be .500 right now? No, not really. Did I expect to have a few losses? Yeah, maybe even a bunch of losses — hoping that you don’t, but I was prepared for that,” Hambly said. “I maybe thought we’d have a little bit better record at this time, but what can we do about it? I’m not really thinking about that too much, I’m thinking about what’s in front of us.” Nonetheless, Hambly said his team is developing at about the rate he would want them to. He

Players-only team meeting gives Illinois optimism BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER
On the heels of two straight 28-point losses, a players-only meeting was called within the Illinois football team last Friday night with hopes of preventing its season from snowballing out of control. The Illini fell to Wisconsin the next day by 17 points, but for three quarters, the team put forth its best showing in weeks against a quality opponent. “The point of the meeting was to just kind of go out there with our swagger and just be out there having fun,” safety Steve Hull said. “I think we’ve been playing tight, thinking a lot. For whatever reason, I have no idea. But we haven’t been playing the same way we were all last year and I think that for the fi rst three quarters of that game we were.” Hull said cornerback Terry Hawthorne and defensive end Michael Buchanan appeared to be the main players behind the meeting and said many of the team’s vocal leaders, including Nathan Scheelhaase, Akeem Spence, Tommy Davis and himself chimed in at times as the players hoped to get their team back on track.
“It was just kind of stating what we already knew, which was we’re not playing the way that we’re capable of playing,” Hull said. “There were defi nitely conversations in there that were a little bit awkward, a little bit tight. But they were things that needed to be talked about.” While team meetings are commonplace in college football, defensive end Michael Buchanan said the players-only meeting was more effective than anything a coach could have said. “It’s kind of easier listening to your peers,” Buchanan said. “Coaches are always talking, you know, saying things. But I think actually we had some guys standing up there and getting things off their chest and speaking their minds.” Illinois held a lead for the fi rst time since the fi rst quarter of the game against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 22 and stayed with the Badgers for most of the game, offering the team some foundation to build on for the remaining six games of the season, most of which the Illini will enter as heavy underdogs.

focus toward helps forget about last weekend,” redshirt freshman Ali Stark said. Stark struggled against Penn State, notching four kills and five attack errors for a seasonlow -.048 hitting percentage. Despite her struggles, Hambly kept her in during the game’s crucial moments, though sophomore Morganne Criswell was brought in for stretches to relieve Stark. “Knowing that I wasn’t playing the best that I could be, I was just staying mentally strong for my teammates, and just staying encouraging and doing everything I could for them to help them keep improving even though I was struggling,” Stark

like a family out on the court,” Dorn said. “We just weren’t able to finish that one out, but at the end of the day, they are the best team in the country right now, so we should be pretty proud of ourselves that we took them that far. I don’t think they’ve necessarily had a fight like that all season.”

Vanessa DiBernardo
Junior midfielder scores three goals, including game-winner, against Michigan State, boosts Illini in conference play BY GINA MUELLER 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. Student-athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success. Among the many names that Vanessa DiBernardo has claimed, magician can now be added to the list. Earning her second collegiate hat trick Thursday night clinched the win for Illinois over Michigan State. DiBernardo’s three goals earned her Big Ten women’s soccer Co-Offensive Player of the Week. This marked only the sixth game of the season for DiBernardo due to her absence competing with the U.S. national team in the under-20 Women’s World Cup. The Illini have had trouble this season with falling behind in the score, which occurred in the game against the Spartans. In the sixth minute of the game, Michigan State’s Olivia Stander’s free kick found the
back of the net from 20 yards out. Illinois found itself playing catch-up once again, but this time DiBernardo was showing an extra spark of energy out on the field. During one of her shot attempts, the ball was deflected off of a Spartan player’s hand in the 18-yard box, resulting in a penalty kick. This rare occurrence gave DiBernardo a one - on- one positioned shot against Michigan State goalkeeper Courtney Clem . DiBernardo’s blast into the back of the net on left side as Clem dove right evened the score at halftime 1-1. Illinois head coach Janet Rayfield said DiBernardo’s international experience made her a reliable choice to take the penalty kick. “Coming off of the World Cup she was in a situation where you get into games and those situations could come down to PK’s,” Rayfield said. “She’s probably practiced them more than most college players at this point.” Shortly after the second half began, Michigan State found the back of Illinois’ net

Week 6 waiver options lacking JACK CASSIDY Fantasy Doctor
T
here is no Brian Hartline-type, must pick-up player this week. No breakout performances, no high-potential players still on the table, no season-changing additions — not much of anything at all. The waivers still hold some value, so always survey the available free agents, but this week, keep your team as it is unless you’re dealing with injuries or byes. That is, unless your team’s performance through five weeks has you pulling your hair out. If you’ve begun to wish illness on Chris Johnson, cheer for BenJarvus Green-Ellis fumbles or generally just hate your players on a personal level, make some changes. Clean house, maybe. An occasional fire sale is good for the
soul. But here are some players you might want to consider: Alex Green (running back, Packers, 0.8 percent owned in ESPN leagues) — This one is pretty simple. Cedric Benson is out at least eight weeks, and Green is the man, for now, in Green Bay. Pick him up and see if he can factor into the Packers offense. Devery Henderson (wide receiver, Saints, 1.7 percent owned) — Given quarterback Drew Brees’ tendency to spread the ball around the field, I was surprised to learn Henderson was owned in so few leagues. He’s been a part of the Saints receiving core for a number of years with Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Jimmy Graham and previously with Robert Meachem. It seems, to me at least, like Brees targets him as much as anyone. Boy was I wrong. Henderson has topped 35 receptions only once in his seven-year career, and he has only five touchdowns in his last three seasons combined. Still, he had his best week of the season last week
with 123 yards and one touchdown, and it’s still Brees under center. If there is a free spot on your bench, take a flyer on Henderson. Joique Bell (running back, Lions, 1.5 percent owned) — The running back situation in Detroit is interesting. Kevin Smith has been phased out. And Jahvid Best has been concussed for over a year. Mikel Leshoure of Illinois fame is carrying the load right now, but when it comes to Illinois football ... well, ummm, you know. Bell is the only Lions back on the rise. He factors into the offense more and more each week. Even with Leshoure taking the carries, Bell gets a decent number of receptions. Plus, when he scored his first touchdown of his career in Week One, Bell said it was a “dream come true”. THAT is the attitude you want on your fantasy team.

said. Stark said she kept her confidence by “not being selfish” and realizing the team needed her to perform. Illinois needs to win both of its matches this week to get back to .500 in the conference, and Wednesday it faces a team in the same position. Michigan is also on a three-game losing streak, including losses last week to No. 10 Minnesota and Wisconsin. While Michigan certainly isn’t the same caliber of team as Penn State, Hambly is not anticipating an easy victory. “They’re a team that’s trying to figure some things out, as far as their system has been changing a lot,” he said. “But they always play really hard, they’re really tough to beat at home. They compete like crazy, they serve tough and they just scrap. You never get them where they’re just mailing it in.”’
“My goal is to build a team that can compete for the national championship every year,” he said. “Anything less than that would be a disappointment. We have the resources in a great state for distance running. I am not going to settle for anything less than that.” The high expectations Stewart has set for himself and for his team are no coincidence, nor are they products of overconfidence. His expectations are a product of the perseverance, which he has displayed in the past. Now he must call on it again to build a successful program in “the nation’s best long-distance running conference.”

Former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to at least 30 years, but no more than 60 years in prison, Tuesday. Sandusky continued to deny that he never sexually abused any of his 10 accusers. The sentence is expected to last the rest of the 68-year-old’s life.
High-powered offenses Eight Big Ten teams scored 27 or more points, and the winning teams scored an average of 41.6 points last week, which is a far cry from the usual mantra of lowscoring Big Ten football. Ohio State led the way with 63 points, Michigan scored 44 and Penn State had 39.

The season is far from over; there are a lot of games left. We can’t quit on each other.” But the same problems that have plagued the Illini all season returned against Wisconsin in the fourth quarter, when they gave up 21 points as the game shifted heavily in Wisconsin’s favor. The Badgers broke several big plays and the Illinois offense struggled to generate production. “We’ve got to finish the game. Just being in the game isn’t enough,” Pocic said. “Especially for us seniors. We’ve got six games left, hopefully seven, maybe eight, so we’ve got to play every quarter like it counts.” The Illini boasted one of the top defenses in the nation last season, but under Beckman and defensive coordinator Tim Banks, the Illinois defense is among the worst in the Big Ten, allowing 28.3 points per game, compared to the 19.6 it allowed last season.

This marked DiBernardo’s fourth of the season, moving her to lead scorer for Illinois. “It was a little surprising,” DiBernardo said. “Two of them were off set-pieces, so you really have to capitalize on those when you get a chance because it’s a pretty big opportunity in a game. It was good that I was able to do that.” DiBernardo has been known for clinching wins for the Illini during important matches. She scored the gamewinning goal in overtime last year during the Big Ten championship against Penn State, awarding Illinois its second Big Ten title in program history. “I think Vanessa is one of those players that if you need to rely on someone then she will produce for you,” senior Niki Read said. “One of her biggest talents is being able to finish from anywhere under a lot of pressure and she’s been able to do

Junior linebacker Jonathan Brown said the Illini got caught up in the preseason hype of the highly touted defensive unit and in the “hoopla” associated with a new era. “The biggest thing about change is it makes people uncomfortable,” Brown said. “When people get uncomfortable, they start doing things they wouldn’t normally do. So now I think everybody has settled down and they’re ready to play.” Brown added that comfort with a new coaching staff is just something that comes with time and the players have adjusted to the new environment. “I think we’re finally starting to understand what’s expected, what has to happen,” Brown said. “We know what we’ve got to do to win. We’ve just got to do it for 60 minutes.” With a 2-4 record, the Illini certainly aren’t where they’d like to be, and with a matchup in Ann Arbor, Mich., against the No. 25 Wolverines, the going isn’t likely to get any easier. But for three quarters last Saturday, the game was fun again. “When you’re doing your job it’s always fun,” Brown said. “I’ve got a passion for this game that’s unmatched. I love playing this game and I feel like I’ve got teammates that have the same feeling. And when we combine that and we execute, we can’t be stopped.”

This is a rare occurrence for a player and has only been achieved by DiBernardo one other time in her career at Illinois. Her performance Thursday night moved her up in the Illinois record books, making DiBernardo third on the Illinois career scoring list with 31 goals. She is now tied for fourth with former Illini Jessica Bayne with 66 career points in program history. Partly due to DiBernardo’s success, Illinois is now 4-1-1 in the Big Ten. “She makes other players around her better too,” Read said. “That’s probably one of the best compliments you can give a player.

Bears’ Carimi shakes rookie feel, still experiencing growing pains BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — No matter how much time he missed a year ago, Chicago Bears right tackle Gabe Carimi insists he doesn’t feel like a rookie anymore. Carimi said he feels he has adjusted to life in the NFL even if he is still experiencing the occasional growing pain on the field after missing most of last year because of a knee injury. He had a few against Jacksonville last week in a 41-3 romp, tempering what he believes was an otherwise solid performance. Carimi got flagged for holding in the first half and had a particularly rough time on the opening drive of the third quarter, giving up the lone sack against Jay Cutler and
committing false starts on backto-back plays after Chicago drove to the 3. That led to a field goal by Robbie Gould rather than a touchdown to break a 3-3 tie on a drive that ate up more than 9 minutes. Even if they beat up one of the weakest teams, it was still an impressive performance. The Bears got interception returns for touchdowns by Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs, the first time in league history two teammates have done that in consecutive weeks, and did their part on offense with 501 yards on 73 plays — their highest total since they had 542 at Detroit on Sept. 24, 1989. Cutler threw for 292 yards. Brandon Marshall had 144 yards receiving and Matt Forte ran for
107, making them the first Chicago teammates with 100 yards receiving and 100 rushing in a game since Muhsin Muhammad and Thomas Jones did it against the New York Giants at the Meadowlands in 2006. “We talked about it as an important game for is to execute our system and do a lot of the things we’ve been working on since OTA days,” offensive coordinator Mike Tice said. “I thought the quarterback was outstanding on the line of scrimmage, getting us to the plays we wanted to. I feel like the line had their best game and probably the most physical since I’ve been here in three years.” It was a big step for a unit that ranked among the league’s worst the past few years. Tice was wide-
ly credited for getting the most out of that undermanned group as the line coach before being promoted to replace Mike Martz as the offensive coordinator in the offseason. After some early struggles, the line has held up better in recent weeks. Left tackle J’Marcus Webb’s problems protecting the quarterback in the early going were well documented. But Carimi has had some issues, too. Drafted with the 29th pick out of Wisconsin in 2011, he was expected to be a key part of the line last season. Instead, he played about a game and a half, making two starts before he went down in Week 2 against New Orleans. Tice warned in the early going that Carimi was a work in prog-
ress, that he might struggle after working his way back from the injury, and through five games, the results seem to support that. Carimi has shown some promise, but he also has six penalties and has allowed 3 ½ sacks. Against Jacksonville, he mentioned the crowd and heat when asked about the false starts, but fundamentals were a big issue, too. “You’ve got to sit in there and make sure you don’t rock back at all,” Carimi said. “That’s what it was. It wasn’t like I was jumping offside. I was rocking back a little bit before the snap, and that’s what they called me on. Now, I know that. I’ll correct it, and it won’t happen again.” Tice said he played well overall, but he acknowledged the penalties
and the sack stand out. “But then you have to look at his overall body of work,” Tice added. “He was extremely physical and did a lot of great things in that football game. He had the (holding) penalty, two offsides and the sack. You can’t have those things but he’s a smart player. He works his trade every day. It’s not always going to look pretty, what he does, and that’s why we have him on the right side. He’s going to give us everything he has every play and that’s when some of those things are going to happen. “The offsides penalties I can’t handle,” Tice continued. “Once in a while you’re going to get a holding call and you’re going to give up a sack. But the offsides he’s got to eliminate.”
