After voting, UI on board to eliminate smoking

BY CORINNE RUFF AND TYLER DAVIS STAFF WRITERS

A

FTER A YEAR AND A HALF OF DELIBERATION, UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATORS ARE TAKING STEPS TO COMPLETELY BAN TOBACCO SMOKE ON CAMPUS IN THE NEXT 13 MONTHS. “We want to ensure a healthy environment for our entire campus community. There is incontrovertible evidence that smoking is a dangerous addiction and that secondhand smoke affects everyone,” Chancellor Phyllis Wise said in a mass email to the University community.

With slated date in November 2013 for a com-

plete ban on smoking on University property, this new policy builds on a current rule that prohibits smoking indoors in all Universityowned and leased facilities and within 25 feet of building entrances, exits, windows that open and ventilation intakes, according to the Campus Administrative Manual.

This policy would have the University join five other Big Ten universities that have smokefree policies implemented for their campuses.

“Some Big Ten (schools) have smoke-free campuses as well, but they don’t enforce it,” said Matt Gold, senator and senior in LAS. “The students tend to understand it’s a smoke-free campus and act on the honor system.”

Transition to Compass 2g nearly complete provide students with syllabuses, grades and assignments for specific courses.

Elise Feltman, freshman in Media, has courses in both Compass and Compass 2g and said Compass 2g is a better option.

“I prefer Compass 2g since it’s more organized and much more specific,” she said.

Compass 2g was presented to the University in November 2011.

As of Fall 2012, 86 percent of all enrolled students have at least one course on Compass 2g, according to an email sent to Baird from Tracy Tolliver, assistant director of CITES production applications.

Illinois Compass is nearing its end as the deadline to switch over to the second generation nears.

CITES will decommission the original Illinois Compass software, powered by Blackboard Vista, which was introduced to campus over a decade ago, according to Robert Baird, acting associate director of CITES academic technology services and assistant professor. Courses that used the original Compass will be read-only so that professors can still access them but will not be able to use them as teaching tools.

The newer version, Compass 2g, allows students to access courses in both systems. Both versions

creating and editing their courses and notifying students of course updates.

Despite Compass 2g’s popularity, many professors still use the original Compass and have yet to make the transition.

“I’ve been using Compass for the last five or six years,” said Brian Quick, associate professor of communications. “Students can access their class notes and grades, which really helps the students out.”

To ease the transition process, CITES offers professors a training program that focuses on helping them adjust to the new Compass.

“It’s not just sit-there-buttonpushing,” Baird said . “We bring

professors and TAs in there, and we give them the basics of the software, and meanwhile, as we go through the training, we share and talk about their own needs. It’s a real collaborative workshop environment.”

Compass 2g is available for all colleges and courses. According to the Tolliver’s email, 83 open learning and training courses not managed by CITES are in Compass 2g.

“We work with equine dentistry, crop sciences and dance,” Baird said. “There’s not a course you can think of that doesn’t have something they want to put online.”

Police officers stopped by the Bristol Park neighborhood to talk face-to-face with residents on Tuesday to find ways to address safety concerns.

The Champaign Community Coalition, a group of local organizations dedicated to improving safety conditions and policecommunity relations, was behind the effort. Volunteers and members of the Urbana, Champaign and University police departments came to “walk as one” by knocking on doors and giving a bag full of packets containing information on topics such as curfew and Halloween safety.

“This is our opportunity to get out and network with the residents,” Dunn said. “It helps us build on police and community relationships, and it gives the residents a voice instead of us expecting them to come to us.”

Between Rome and Jerusalem: Labor and the Law in the 21st Century

By the end of the 1940s, the United States settled upon a modus vivendi: a low statutory floor for wages and hours upon which collective bargaining would build.

That experiment, in terms of raising income and achieving fairness at work, enjoyed some success. But collective representation has evaporated in the private sector; and, though the floor of federal protections has been raised, realization is problematic. Legal address to new and pressing problems rests with the states, with piecemeal results; and efforts to privatize public law and to blunt the growth of law abide.

SMOKE-FREE FROM PAGE 1A Christopher Dayton, senior in LAS, said he does not agree with the ban as it stands but would consider it if there were designated areas on campus for smokers to go.

“There is the constituency of student smokers ... such that they become targeted and they become demonized in the view of the public as being outsiders, unwelcome, dirty and as a health hazard,” he said.

“They are not seen as an individual person but rather seen automatically as a smoker under the umbrella of this resolution.”

Although some students think this ban compromises their freedom, Keenan Kassar, senator and senior in Business, thinks the ban reflects the opinion of the majority of students on campus.

“How about the majority who has the freedom to not be exposed to the activities of others that affect them in negative ways?” Kassar said.

K assa r said this ba n brings several benefits to the University.

“We most importantly won’t be exposed to secondhand smoke,” he said. “Some are continually exposed — faculty with offices and people around areas where there is a lot of smoking.”

Kassar said other positive benefits include the reduced litter of unsightly cigarette butts

Thursday, October 18, 2012

and a positive image for campus, saying “the University will be a better place for this.”

The ban was initiated in April 2011 when Kassar proposed a “smoke-free Quad.”

But Kassar’s resolution never carried in the senate, so then-student trustee Hannah Ehrenberg and Kassar created a student referendum together, collecting 3,408 signatures to put the issue on the Fall 2011 ballot.

When students voted on the issue on Nov. 10, 2011, 7,123 of 10,354 voted in favor of supporting “campus dialogue and action by the administration to explore making the (University) smokefree.” Wise then appointed an ad-hoc committee to consider the issue over the spring and summer.

Renée Romano, vice chancellor for student affairs, thinks the ban is a great example of how students can get involved and make a difference. “(The referendum) compelled the chancellor to look at making (the) decision to do this,” Romano said. “I just think it’s a great example of positive student activism.”

Michele Guerra, Wellness Center director, said the ad-hoc committee submitted its proposal to the chancellor in August.

It rec om mended t h at Wise implement a smoke-free campus but also laid out the options of a completely tobacco-free University, as well as leaving the current smoking

policy as it is.

One aspect of the committee’s work was to look at the best practices on other campuses, including how to enforce the ban.

Four subcommittees will be formed in the coming weeks.

Among these will be a student well-being committee; a grounds, policy and enforcement committee; a culture and communication committee; and a faculty and staff well-being committee, Guerra said.

These groups will address the issues that may be brought about as a result of the smoking ban.

Guerra said smokers will be offered help with the transition to a smoke-free campus.

Student groups and the Wellness Center will work together to explore the best avenues for helping students quit smoking.

“We don’t know exactly what will be put in place but we will be significantly increasing the amount of smoking cessation programs on campus,” Guerra said.

According to Guerra, smoking cessation programs will begin sometime during the Spring 2013 semester, before the ban takes place.

ISS prepares for haunted house and homecoming

BY CORINNE RUFF STAFF WRITER

The leaves have changed colors and pumpkin spice lattes are back, which means the Illinois Student Senate is gearing up for fall activities.

On Friday, ISS and the Illini Union Board will be hosting a spooky maze through the Union for a fun night away from the pressures of drinking.

“What’s not to love about a haunted house?” said Emily Silva, director of Illinites for the Illini Union Board and sophomore in LAS. Silva said this year they are stepping up the scary level. Volunteers of each group will dress up as zombies, Jason from “Friday the 13th” and other creepy characters.

“It’s a way for students to interact with other students without the pressure of drinking or drugs,” said Rachael Markwell, ISS senator and senior in Media.

“It’s a great way to create a community on a Friday night.”

Markwell said she thinks the haunted house is another great way for IUB and ISS to help students enjoy their experience at

Meningitis outbreak causes 15 deaths Outbreak may be due to unsanitary facility conditions MIKE STOBBE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Was it some moldy ceiling tiles? The dusty shoes of a careless employee? Or did the contamination ride in on one of the ingredients?

There are lots of ways fungus could have gotten inside the Massachusetts compounding pharmacy whose steroid medication has been linked to a lethal outbreak of a rare fungal form of meningitis.

The outbreak has killed at least 15 people and sickened more than 200 others in 15 states. Nearly all the victims had received steroid injections for back pain.

Federal and state investigators have been tightlipped about any problems they may have seen at the New England Compounding Center or whether they have pinpointed the source of the contamination. They did disclose last week that they found fungus in more than 50 vials from the pharmacy.

Company spokesman Andrew Paven said by email that criminal investigators from the Food and Drug Administration were at the pharmacy in Framingham, Mass., on Tuesday. The visit was part of a broad federal and state investigation of the outbreak, FDA spokesman Steven Immergut said in an email.

New England Compounding has not commented on its production process or what might have gone wrong, so outside experts can only speculate. But the betting money

A closeup view through the lens of a microscope magnified on the computer screen of the meningitis causing fungus, Exserohilum rostratum, at the Mycotic lab at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday in Atlanta. The staff and technicians have been trying to confirm cases and inform the public regarding the outbreak. seems to be on dirty conditions, faulty sterilizing equipment, tainted ingredients or sloppiness on the part of employees.

The drug at the center of the investigation is made without preservative, meaning there’s no alcohol or other solution in it to kill germs such as a fungus. So it’s very important that it be made under highly sterile conditions, experts said.

Compounding pharmacies aren’t as tightly regulated as drug company plants, but they are

supposed to follow certain rules: Clean the floors and other surfaces daily; monitor air in “clean rooms” where drugs are made; require employees to wear gloves and gowns; test samples from each lot.

High-volume production of the sort that went on at New England Compounding also raises the chances of contamination, experts said.

The types of fungus in the latest outbreak are ubiquitous: The first to be identified was Aspergillus, commonly found indoors

and outdoors. As more testing of patients was completed, it became clear that another fungus — a black mold called Exserohilum — caused most of the illnesses.

Exserohilum is common in dirt and grasses.

Most people do not get sick from ordinary exposure to these kinds of fungus, but spinal injections can provide them a pathway into the brain.

Whatever happened at New England Compounding, it probably wasn’t unique.

the University. As a senator, she said she also believes it’s important for senators to socialize with the student body.

“I think it’s important for ISS to be social with its constituents, because we want to know what they are interested in, in every aspect of their lives (including) their social lives,” she said.

Markwell said senators are also preparing for upcoming homecoming events such as the parade. They will be decorating two trucks in orange and blue signs and stickers. She said during the parade, senators will pass out candy to the local community.

“We will be telling them we appreciate their support,” she said. “Without the local community we wouldn’t have a U of I or an ISS.” Some student senators are also looking forward to attending the activities as a part of the homecoming court. This fall, four of the 20 members selected by the Chancellor’s Committee to Support Homecoming are current or former ISS members.

One of the court members, Matt Gold, senior in LAS, said the court represents a group of

BRISTOL PLACE FROM PAGE 1A other parts of Champaign. The plan reported that 70 percent of homes are worth less than $60,000, compared with 2006 averages of $138,000. Many properties also face maintenance issues; in Bristol Place, 48 percent of parcels were given property maintenance violation citations at least once, according to the plan.

Champaign Mayor Don Gerard said the neighborhood’s situation is in decline and the city needs to take action.

“Bristol Place has long been overdue for this,” Gerard said.

“There are people living in substandard housing who are paying way too much. ... We have crime, we have poverty — it’s just a bad situation.”

As part of the neighborhood plan, the city has a redevelopment plan for Bristol Park that would involve demolishing vacant and dilapidated buildings and redeveloping other areas.

The city of Champaign has also requested that the Champaign County Housing Authority, an organization that gives housing assistance to low-income families, assist in finding the relocated families homes.

The city has also completed an assessment focused on types of housing that would be affordable for Bristol Park residents. The assessment determined that the neighborhood fits the city’s proposed redevelopment plan but is still under review by the housing authority.

Gerard said following approval of the assessment, the city will begin issuing requests for proposals from developers.

Gail Shivers, Bristol Park resident for more than 26 years, said she thinks the proposed plan is

people who the University thinks embody leadership, spirit and are also strong students and strong community members.

“The fact that there are four people (from ISS) means the student senate does represent the voice of the student body,” he said. “We do something positive and constructive on behalf of the students.”

David Pileski, student trustee and senior in FAA, is also on the homecoming court this year. As a senior, he thought being on the court seemed like a good way to “cap off the year” and give back to the Illinois community.

“Having worked with many other members of the court, they are exemplary leaders in different organizations on campus,” he said. “They are a snapshot of what our student body is all about.”

Court members will commence homecoming events this weekend by participating in iHelp, a campus-wide community service effort, and will also participate in alumni events throughout the following week.

Corinne can be reached at cruff2@ dailyillini.com. bittersweet because, although it will improve the neighborhood, she said she does not like the fact that residents will be pushed out of their homes for the reconstruction. However, she said she feels better about the changes after attending meetings regarding the plan.

A similar improvement plan in Douglass Square, another neighborhood that faced issues with crime and irreparable deterioration of homes, was successful.

Gerard said he hopes Bristol Park will share a similar outcome.

“We want to see success such as the Douglass (Square) project has enjoyed with a mix of housing — single family, duplex, multifamily,” he said in an email. “To do what we have done in places like Douglass (Square) where we changed the neighborhood, we created a private ownership, we’ve turned it over and just given citizens the opportunity to take back the neighborhood themselves.”

A Bristol Park Neighborhood Steering Committee met last month for a panel discussion on why a complete redevelopment is necessary. The committee will continue to meet in October and November; a neighborhood group, focus group and the neighborhood services advisory board will also meet throughout the next couple months.

Champaign is also making efforts to plan more events with Bristol Park residents.

Gerard said the neighborhood responded well to the proposed changes.

“They have been very supportive,” he said. “People are always a little bit nervous about change, (but) a great majority are very excited about this opportunity.”

Rumors, lack of public appearances hurt US Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr.

BY SARA BURNETT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — With Election Day three weeks away, things could hardly be worse for U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.: He hasn’t been to work in months as he recovers from hospitalization for depression. There are whispers he’s under investigation for misusing campaign donations. Headlines announce he’s been spotted at a Washington, D.C., bar, downing drinks.

It would be enough to send most campaigns into crisis communications mode. Yet the Jackson camp has maintained the same, often baffling approach: virtual silence.

To political observers and strategists, the long stretch of Jackson scarcity is as unusual as it is surprising. Since he quietly went on

leave in June, Jackson, 47, has made no statements or appearances to explain his health status or his plans for seeking re-election and maintaining the congressional seat he has held for 17 years.

Even in a district where he is expected to cruise to victory, many are beginning to wonder how much his long absence may be hurting him. Some say any aspirations Jackson had beyond representing Illinois’ 2nd district continue to shrink with each passing day.

Already, there are signs he’s taken a major hit in at least one area that matters greatly to a politician’s future career — fundraising.

Delmarie Cobb, a Chicago political consultant and aide to the elder Jackson when he ran for president in 1988, said that with every devel-

opment and non-response from Jackson, his staff and his family, she has the same reaction: “How is this happening?”

“Because they are who they are in terms of being press savvy, you just can’t believe what you’re seeing,” Cobb said. “It’s like watching a train wreck, and it’s getting worse every day.”

The cloud of mystery around Jackson heightened this week as reports emerged that the congressman — convalescing at his Washington home following a diagnosis of bipolar disorder — faces a new federal investigation into potential misuse of his campaign finances. The Chicago SunTimes, citing anonymous sources, first reported the probe, which is reportedly separate from a House

ethics investigation looking into his connections to imprisoned exIllinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

An FBI spokesman in Washington, Andrew Ames, told The Associated Press he could neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation into Jackson.

Jackson’s wife, Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, told reporters earlier this month that her husband is following doctors’ orders to “stay very calm and very quiet.”

She said he would return to work as soon as his physicians said he could do so, and she thanked his constituents for their patience.

At one time, Jackson, son of Rev. Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, boasted a promising future as a possible future Chicago mayor or senator.

ISS excessively spending on purposeless projects for student body

U

p to this point in the year, the Illinois Student Senate has served almost no purpose, save influencing Chancellor Phyllis Wise to enact a smoking ban campuswide, and it wastes your money every year.

Two student senators, Max Ellithorpe and Matt Gold, want to introduce legislation that will refund any budget surplus at the end of the year back to the students because they believe that ISS’s excessive spending needs to stop. Mind you, that comes out to about $1 a student, if ISS doesn’t spend the surplus they have now.

Well, you can keep your buck.

As much as we would love to buy four gumballs or 2.4 inches (give or take) of a Subway sandwich, we’d rather the student senate find something worthwhile to spend money on.

Last week, ISS spent $9,000 to sponsor the men’s basketball team. This includes public service announcements during games, advertisements on FightingIllini.com and ticket giveaways to students.

“The ball was in their court; they picked it up and shot it,” said Damani Bolden, senator and author of the proposal. “Finally we have done something for students that will engage them in what we do.”

Tell us again, what does ISS do? Isn’t this just self-promotion?

Aren’t you basically the Nancy Grace of this campus? And why are you using our money to buy other people basketball tickets, which does nothing but to promote entertainment, something completely unrelated to any productive academic pursuit?

What purpose do you serve?

The purpose of the Illinois Student Senate now lies somewhere between irresponsibly overspending money and being nearly obsolete.

We don’t want our money back.

We don’t want you to sponsor the men’s basketball team or give away free tickets. We don’t want you to buy candy and decorations for your annual Halloween party.

Spend our money in some combination of the following ways: set up a $1,000 semiannual scholarship for a University student who has best demonstrated a commitment to civil service; digitize your records; let students beat with mallets roughly 10 old cars that you purchase around finals time to double as both a fundraiser for some charity and a stress reliever for participants; set up some kind of campuswide suggestion box system; host a food drive to help out the Eastern Illinois Foodbank or Daily Bread Soup Kitchen; or keep the money until you have a good idea of how to spend it — as an organization for students, you should genuinely look to give back to them.

But in all seriousness, not everything ISS does is bad. Shao Guo, the senate’s historian, has been diligently working to create a comprehensive history of the University, something that is not only useful for students and alumni who are genuinely curious about their school but also allows for The Daily Illini’s reporters easier access for more in-depth research. This truly is a worthwhile and commendable project that has real benefits for students.

These are exactly the projects ISS should invest our money.

But the rest of you need to shape up. So, please, at your next meeting, sit down with everyone and come up with, say, five ideas that improve the lives of students in a concrete and useful way. And then just pick one and do it.

If

than only speaking to swing states.

And connecting with voters is something the president seems to have down just a bit more than his opponent. For example, President Obama had an “Ask Me Anything” thread on Reddit at the end of August. And you know what? He broke the Internet.

OK, maybe that’s a bit of overstepping, but he managed to slow down the webpage with over 24,000 comments. He personally answered questions posed by the Internet community about his “most difficult decision made in the first term” or the recipe for the White House beer.

So why not take the time to appear on “The View” or SNL or any other widely watched program? It’s not as if the Romney campaign is incapable of prepping him. He is clearly an admirable debater as proven in the first debate. In reality, what harm could be done, besides him gaining just a few more supporters?

What? Is the Romney campaign worried someone will claim he would attend the show instead of meeting with an important head-ofstate as Paul Ryan did? He claimed Obama decided to go on “The View” last month, instead of meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In reality, the show was taped earlier in the week, it just happened to air when the prime minister was visiting New York.

And really, if he considers a television show with four liberal women “high-risk,” he may need to re-think this whole presidential run. Because Mitt, it gets much worse than degrading quips during debates and television appearances.

a slacker and a procrastinator had a love child, it would definitely be one of the now abundant websites like Cramster (now owned

by Chegg) and Course Hero, which provide complete textbook solutions along with supporting work to any student willing to pay for a subscription. However, contrary to the popular view that these sites hinder education, they have created a powerful new method for learning that teachers can harness once they stop treating the use of these sites as an infringement on academic integrity.

If you have ever taken a legitimate math or science course, you know the feeling of working late into the night, trying to finish a difficult set of homework problems for the next day’s class. You try your best to come up with solutions but inevitably run into problems where you are not even sure where to start. For the solutions you do have, there is no sure way to verify that you are correct. Of course, late at night there are no professors or TA’s around to assist you, and your friends are occupied with other classes. Wouldn’t it be beneficial to you as a student to have some way to verify what you think you know and guide yourself in the direction of what you don’t?

Good teachers want their students to have access to as many resources as possible. Cramster and Course Hero can be thought of as merely additional resources that allow students to complete their homework in a more beneficial and efficient manner. Instead of spending hours working on problems without receiving any feedback, students can instantaneously correct their misconceptions and refine their problem-solving skills.

These sites essentially serve the same purpose as a TA or professor, except they are always available and easy to understand.

The main criticism of these sites, of course, is that there is no way to tell if students have learned the material, or if they have merely copied the solutions straight from the website. However, this criticism is due to a misunderstanding of the purpose of homework. The goal of homework is not to evaluate how much students know — that is what exams are for.

The goal of homework should be for students to learn the material through any means necessary. Those who do will perform well on exams. Those who just copy solutions will perform poorly.

Simple changes can be made to homework procedures to account for sites like Cramster. Instead of giving entire book assignments to be graded, teachers could assign optional book problems that are not graded but are designed to teach concepts. They could then assign one or two unique problems on which students could be evaluated. As a result, students could learn more material at an accelerated rate and still be held accountable for learning.

Unfortunately, there are many instructors who are opposed to this change. An email survey sent to 25 random professors received only one response with a positive view of Cramster. It seems that most professors would prefer to reiterate the horror stories that students hear of teachers finding mistakes on Cramster and then failing everyone in their class who copied the error.

It is hypocritical for teachers to expect students to restrain themselves from using online resources while students are required to compete against each other for better grades on homework. This is a catch-22 which interestingly resembles the debate over online piracy. The solution in both cases is not to try and punish every person who realizes the potential of the Internet, but rather for the institution providing the content to modify its policies in response to consumer behavior. When you add in the fact that students’ capacity to learn is increased by the use of these online resources, then it makes perfect sense for professors to encourage the use of these resources in their classrooms.

David Sachs, an associate dean and professor of technology systems at Pace University in White Plains, NY, who has joined an advisory board on Cramster, identified the reality of the situation to the New York Times in an interview, “As faculty, we need to be better educated about what the possibilities are, and the truth is you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.”

Instead of trying to fight emerging Internet resources, educators need to adapt their teaching styles to coincide with them. By doing so, students would be provided with a better educational experience that transcends what was possible a decade ago.

Men shouldn’t rule women’s bodies ADAM HUSKA Opinions columnist

To

a male-dominated room of Michigan legislators, Rep. Lisa Brown had only one sentence to conclude her criticism on a proposed anti-choice abortion legislation: “And finally Mr. Speaker, I’m flattered that you’re all so interested in my vagina, but ‘no’ means ‘no.’”

During a lecture by Illinois Planned Parenthood Vice President Pam Sutherland, the words certainly stirred laughter in the room, but nonetheless rung true. Sutherland was referencing Brown as part of a discussion on H.R.1 (the first session of the House 2011), a continuing resolution focused on making cuts to reduce the federal deficit. One of the amendments aimed to eliminate all financing for Planned Parenthood.

But really, how can anyone take a bunch of middle-aged, nearly-balding men voting on women’s birth control seriously? And I’m not the only one wondering why men introduce this kind of legislation in the first place. Georgetown Law school graduate and women’s rights activist Sandra Fluke was irritated by her friend’s story describing their university insurance’s denial of contraceptive hormones to treat an ovarian cyst.

It should have been simple: Prescribe the contraceptive hormones covered by Georgetown insurance to treat the cyst and be done with it. However, Georgetown is a Jesuit university, which usually do not provide contraceptive coverage benefits to students — unless the intentions are not for contraceptive purposes.

In this case, they aren’t, but the University suspected ulterior motives

and continued to deny her.

When the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (specifically committee chairman Darrell Issa (R) of California) denied Fluke the chance to speak at a hearing regarding religious institutions and exemptions in health care, her story gained national attention. Even radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh had some controversial words to say about Fluke’s support for contraceptives: “She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.”

There seems to be a reoccurring theme here: men as the “experts” on women’s reproductive health.

Thing is, not every woman who seeks contraception is doing so for contraceptive purposes. Birth control has been proven to mitigate menstrual pain and even regulate menstrual cycles. Fluke’s friend wasn’t seeking contraceptives to prevent getting pregnant, rather was seeking them as a life-saving treatment.

The scheme that any woman who uses contraceptives is a “slut” or a “prostitute” is absurd. Do we call a man a slut when he purchases a bottle of Viagra? Typically not, and apparently that is a topic far different than the one regarding birth control, considering Viagra is covered by many insurance plans. Yes, a drug that serves only to facilitate sexual activity is apparently far more medically important than birth control, which has uses that extend beyond pregnancy.

And then I ask myself, well, with these seemingly boundless and liberal reproductive rights for men, what are these men’s justifications for wanting to restrict the reproductive rights of women?

Religion and conservatism are definitely driving factors — controversial procedures such as induced

abortion typically go against conservative, Catholic and other Christian denominations’ ideals. Life is genderless — it is just as much an issue for a mother as it is for a father. However, a woman’s body is owned by her, not a religious institution and certainly not by a man. Obama even addressed this issue in Obamacare by exempting religious institutions from covering contraception. Clearly, it is more than just a battle of religious proportions.

It doesn’t stop there. Women as child-bearers means that they must care for more than just one body — it makes sense that anti-abortionists would want to support the unborn, voiceless child. This isn’t a battle of pro-life or pro-choice, it’s about prowomen. Perhaps this anti-contraception legislation will ensure that all children are born, but it completely neglects the safety of their mothers. It doesn’t address women who are victims of rape and consequent unwanted pregnancy or situations in which the mother’s life is in just as much peril as the child’s. Who would the men choose then? The mother among all recognizes the needs of a child who she has carried and nourished in her womb, birthed and taken care of for years after.

It’s unusual for a pharmacy to deny a condom to man just as it should be unusual for a woman to be denied birth control. When a married man has to sit down with his wife and figure out how to adjust their budget to pay for uninsured birth control pills, then they can talk.

Let’s give women’s reproductive freedoms back to the women. Maledominated legislatures and religion influence a women’s reproductive choices, but it all comes down to the tail end of the debate: choice.

Romney needs to lighten up, embrace TV opportunities to reach voters JOANNA ROTHENBERG Opinions columnist

W

ith less than three weeks until this year’s presidential election, it is no longer feasible to stop by every small town in the United States for a meet-andgreet, so television makes a nice substitute. While there may only be one debate left, there are still plenty of opportunities to see prominent political figures (and their spouses) live on the air. For example, Thursday morning, the governor’s wife Ann Romney, appears on ABC’s “The View” and Thursday night, President Obama on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”

Until recently, the governor was supposed to appear alongside his wife on the show but canceled this past weekend because of “scheduling conflicts.”

As the great Rubeus Hagrid would say, “Codswollop in my opinion.” I think his campaign is just scared of him saying something they will regret. He’s done it before.

The “binder full of women” line from Tuesday’s debate makes for a great example, and he continued on with how women need flexibility in the work place to be home to cook dinner. Because that’s not degrading or anything.

He has openly admitted that appearing on “The View” would be “high-risk” because there is only one conservative woman on the show, Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

Need I remind you that he said he had binders full of women yet “The

View” is high-risk?

Besides, isn’t campaigning about reaching out to the voters? Neglecting to appear on a show predominately watched by women seems to be quite the opposite of reaching out, especially when he was doing fairly well among women voters in key states.

Voters are not about to go to the polls to vote for Ann Romney, so no matter how likeable she is, her opinion can only go so far. By appearing on the show, he has the chance to sway just a few more people in his direction.

Then again, this is the same man who scoffed at a “Saturday Night Live” invite because it would make him look “slapstick” and “not presidential,” as if he isn’t doing enough of that himself.

Now the president’s decision to appear on “The Daily Show” and not cancel was a good one.

I will not deny, at all, that Stewart and his audience tend to lean liberal. But people watch him. I know very few college students who watch the news regularly. And yes, I realize just because I don’t know them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

What I am getting at is, I know more people who watch “The Daily Show” on a consistent basis then the news, and it is not always young liberal college students.

The Obama campaign is well aware that 66 percent of voters under the age of 30 voted for the president in 2008. To reach numbers like that again, the campaign knows they need to connect with the voters, and they know the best way to do that is to appeal to them. It has nothing to do with trying to be “slapstick” as Romney believes. It’s about connecting to voters in ways other

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD

A building to take stock of Stock Pavilion vital for animal sciences, events

BY MORGAN QUILICI

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

The Stock Pavilion on the South Quad hosts animal sciences labs, ACES Exploration, the Moms Weekend Flower Show, 4-H programs and more. they did in the 1920s and ’30s and ’40s, but it’s still used for handson animal labs.”

Not only has the building’s purpose stayed the same, but the building itself has only experienced one big alteration since being built.

“It is a historic building to campus,” Parrett said. “It has a lot of history (and) the architecture is really unique.”

Originally, the building’s northern side had nine arched entryways with outlining columns that formed a long horizontal hall. However, in the 1950s, Parrett said they enclosed the entryways and transformed the hall into classrooms and offices for professors. In the process of removing the columns, the builders removed 50 or so terra-cotta animal heads that were above the archways.

“Somewhere in the renovation they all got lost,” Parrett said.

“I went scouring around all the barns and buildings on campus and I only came up with two — I wish I had (them all).”

Parrett, whose office was in the Stock Pavilion for 10 to 12 years before he moved to the Animal Sciences Lab, said he misses his “nice big office” and the “beautiful view” of South Quad. He said he often thought he had “the best office on campus.”

Today, the Stock Pavilion is not only used as an Animal Science laboratory, but also as a space for student clubs such as the Rodeo Club, the Hoof and

Horn Club, the Illini Dairy Club and the Companion Animal Club.

The building is also used for other campuswide activities and events, such as the YMCA Dump and Run and the Mom’s Weekend Flower Show. “(The Horticulture Club) turns this place into a garden,” Parrett said about the Mom’s Weekend Flower Show.

Sam Kowalczyk, president of the Horticulture Club, said she had no idea what the Stock Pavilion even was her freshman year, and now, she feels like she lives there during the flower show.

“I feel like the Stock Pavilion is such an important place for the club during that event that it kind of becomes like a second home,” Kowalczyk said. “I can’t imagine it anywhere else.”

Rebecca Guyette, director of development for the University YMCA, said the annual Dump and Run, in which the YMCA collects items from the public in the spring and then sells them at a rummage sale in the fall fall, has been held at the Stock Pavilion since 2004.

“There really is no other space that could accommodate (the event) that’s of the size and that is as accessible as the Stock Pavilion,” Guyette said.

“It’s not an exaggeration to say I don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have that space — it’s invaluable.”

As many events as there are at the University, it’s hard to think of many that have their participants run and duck for cover. Ones where rounds fire off constantly, followed by a stinging ‘SPLAT!’ against camouflage gear. Sound familiar yet?

Every fall semester, the AXΩ paintball tournament focuses to spread awareness of domestic violence against women and raises donations for a local nonprofit women’s shelter Women in Transition.

The paintball tournament will be held Sunday in shifts from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. at SaltFork Paintball in St. Joseph.

Paintball is an offbeat event to hold, and members of Alpha Chi Omega say that distinction is their intention.

“There are all kinds of sports events in the Greek system, so it is important to provide a distinctive option for students,” said Jessica Huck, president of Alpha Chi Omega and junior in Media.

“Something unique attracts a lot more students, which lets the point of our tournament reach more people.”

Although domestic violence is a familiar topic for many, Alpha Chi Omega emphasizes its severity among women that may pass by the general public. According to the sorority, one in four women are affected by domestic violence in their life.

“It’s an issue that not many people consider, and are aware of

In November 2011, Rosen’s collaborative research was published in “Science,” one of the most prestigious science publications in the world.

While Rosen is not in the lab, he spends his time actively participating in Jewish life on campus.

“Brian is a combination of Robin Williams’ character from ‘Flubber,’ and a stereotypical rabbi priest who works as a camp counselor,” said David Eitan Barlaz, who is also from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.

Barlaz has known Rosen for eight years and refers to him as the “brother he never had”.

Rosen “manages to balance a personal life filled with religious obligation, divergent friendships, a competitive field of work and several equally odd-ball hobbies including calligraphy and beer brewing,” Barlaz said.

Sorority sponsors paintball tournament to increase domestic violence awareness

BY ADLAI STEVENSON

STAFF WRITER

If one walks directly south from the Undergraduate Library, past the McFarland Memorial Bell Tower, they will eventually run into a rectangular building with half-circle wings on its east and west sides. The building may go unnoticed by University students who never make it south of the Bell Tower, but its significance to the animal sciences department, as well as a plethora of clubs and organizations on campus, is irreplaceable.

“The Stock Pavilion is a facility the department of animal sciences uses for animal laboratories,” said Doug Parrett, professor and interim head of the department. “It’s a facility where we can bring in cattle, horses, pigs and have hands-on laboratories for our students — it’s vital to us.”

According to the University Library’s Digital Cultural Heritage Community, the Stock Pavilion was completed in 1914 by English Brothers and designed by architect William Carbys Zimmerman. In the 1916 article “Stock Judging Pavilion at University of Illinois,” Zimmerman wrote, “this building was erected at the University of Illinois, Champaign, Ill., for the purpose, as its name implies, of judging and studying stock.”

Although Parrett said usage adjustments have been made with time, the building’s core purpose has remained the same.

“We’ve evolved,” Parrett said.

“We use it totally different than

5A

how widespread it is,” Huck said.

Alpha Chi Omega promotes information and facts throughout the tournament and donates all proceeds gathered from participants.

Alpha Chi Omega also sees it as a strong opportunity for the sorority to take part in.

“It’s important that women should help other women,” said Danielle Greenfield, vice president in philanthropy of Alpha Chi Omega and junior in LAS. Greenfield added it develops strong character and sisterhood among members of the sorority.

Alpha Chi Omega chapters nationwide spread awareness for domestic violence, but the sorority at the University sees its direct contributions take effect at the Center for Women in Transition in Champaign. Alpha Chi Omega’s proceeds go toward items like bed sheets and toiletries, and members of the sorority also volunteer at the shelter.

Earlier this year, sisters labeled rooms in the shelter by significant women in history instead of by door number. Each room came with a small biography of the famous woman and an inspirational quote to create a better environment for the center.

“It’s great to see what your hard work is going toward and its influence at the shelter,” Greenfield said. Outside of paintball, the sorority hosts canning donations during the holidays and a large mac ‘n’ cheese dinner in the spring. Last year, Alpha Chi Omega raised $7,000 in total for Women in Transition.

The sorority has also helped

out the paintball venue. SaltFork Paintball has hosted the tournament since 2007, but was forced to close last October because of zoning issues.

“Alpha Chi went to council meetings and helped appeal to the board for us,” said Jake Myers, owner and operator of SaltFork Paintball. “Their encouragement to the board definitely helped us out in the long run.”

Since then, SaltFork was able to move from its original setting in Sidney to a new location in St. Joseph. The location is new for Myers as it is for the sorority, since it will be their first time hosting the new location and its three forest courses.

At the event, Alpha Chi Omega plans to keep it lively. Groups of 10 are organized by brackets and sisters of the sorority volunteer as coaches to pump up the teams for the tournament.

It’s also the sorority’s prerogative to inform.

“Information and facts are put on flyers and custom t-shirts so participants can learn about domestic violence and know where their proceeds are going to,” Greenfield said. “We want to make the tournament as fun and educational as it can be.”

Everyone of all grade levels are invited to participate with a donation of $300 per team, and can sign up by email at philanthropy. axo.uiuc@gmail.com.

And they should prepare their crosshairs for double elimination.

(brew beer) and went for it.” Barlaz described that brewing beer allows them to apply their knowledge of scientific concepts. They refer to the beer they make as a product of “Bromance Breweries.”

“Our strengths complement each other,” Barlaz said.

While Barlaz takes care of Rosen’s clumsiness and teaches him history, Rosen’s religious knowledge surpasses his own.

Rosen is one of the most involved students in the Orthodox community and probably in all of Hillel, the center for Jewish life on campus, said Rabbi Dani Appel. He goes to all daily prayers, and as head “Mashgiach” (supervisor in Hebrew), his job is to make sure there is always a supervisor on duty when the chef is in the kosher kitchen.

“He will never get someone upset and will always try to make sure everyone is happy. When there is work to be done, or a shift to cover, he is always the first to do it,” Appel said.

As a practicing Orthodox Jew, he connects very strongly to his religion, and even met his fiancée Shiri Himmel, who was visiting from Israel at the time, through Hillel.

“When (Himmel) came here to visit her sister, we kind of just hit

it off. I took a trip to Israel a few years ago, and we decided to start seeing each other and then started a long distance (relationship) over Skype,” Rosen said.

Himmel is back in Israel now, starting her teaching degree in Jerusalem; she wants to be a high school biology teacher.

There are three crucial events that will take place within a month, Rosen said. After graduating with a Ph.D in May, he will then move to Israel in June to become an Israeli citizen and marry Himmel.

“I proposed to Shiri while we were skydiving back in April,” Rosen said.

Exactly 25 years ago, Rosen’s aunt was married and made “Aliyah,” which means she immigrated to Israel. Like his aunt, Rosen plans to colloquially make Aliyah as well.

“I couldn’t see myself making Aliyah at this point of my life despite my strong connection to Israel if I had not been for my fiancée,” he said.

Rosen recently accepted a post doctorate position at Tel Aviv University. His career goal is to become a professor, continue researching and encourage other students to as well.

was his high school chemistry teacher who inspired Brian Rosen to study chemical engineering. He’s always known that he wanted to do something that would make a difference, something that would improve the quality of life for people.

Now a fifth year Ph.D. student at the University in the department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Rosen is well on his way to doing just that.

Rosen was born and raised in Delaware and completed his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware.

As an undergraduate, he worked in a laboratory that studied fluid mechanics and its application to liquid body armor. The concept is very similar to that of a common cornstarch and water experiment, Rosen said. An individual mixes water and cornstarch and then applies force to the cornstarch.

This causes the substance to change from a liquid to a pudgy type consistency that transforms back to liquid when the force is removed.

“It’s a really neat transition — it’s really fun to play with,” Rosen said. “But basically, the liquid body armor is an extremity of this phenomenon.”

Rosen worked on this project at the University of Delaware for three and a half years in collaboration with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory.

They engineered liquids that could protect against a number of military threats.

“Rather than wearing a suit that’s like 50 pounds and ... hard to actually move around in because it is so inflexible, you have a very light-weight, flex-

ible, impenetrable vest that feels like you’re only wearing a few t-shirts,” Rosen said of the armor.

This armor has been mobilized by the U.S. Army for approximately five years now. Rosen’s responsibilities during his freshman year involved doing rheological tests.

“So you go from a lab where you’re doing fluid mechanic testing liquids, and then next thing you know is that you’re at an army base, testing it against the real ballistic ammunition and literally seeing how the liquid mechanics translates into armor. It’s a really cool thing to connect,” he added.

Rosen came to the University of Illinois knowing he wanted to do an academic program in chemical engineering, with plans to continue his research in fluid mechanics. Rosen was very inspired by his (now) Ph.D adviser, Rich Masel, when he lectured during his recruitment weekend as a firstyear graduate student.

Rosen ended up completely changing his subfield from fluid mechanics to electric chemistry and catalysis.

The idea that Masel proposed was to convert waste carbon dioxide into fuel, rather than emitting it into the atmosphere.

“It’s a very uphill battle, thermodynamically and energetically. My Ph.D research here is to

Every day, hundreds of students walk down Green Street in a rush to take on the days’ obligations. From classes to club meetings, there never seems to be a spare moment to look up and take in the scenery.

And do you?

If you did, you might notice the man standing outside of Dunkin’ Donuts, asking for spare change. If you did, you might notice the group of two or three men sitting on the ledge near Pizza Hut, trying to make eye contact with someone who just might be feeling generous. If you did, you might notice the man sitting on the windowsill of the video store, requesting money for a sandwich.

These few individuals, who have become familiar faces on campus, represent, an entire population of an estimated 418 homeless men, women and children, per the United Way’s 2011 Community Report, living throughout Champaign County.

To address this issue, the RSO C-U at Home was established this year as the University’s branch of a local organization by the same name, which was started in 2011 by executive director Melany Jackson .

Both the RSO and the local organization seek to help the most vulnerable individuals in the community, meaning those most likely to die on the street, Jackson said.

This is done through a relatively new model to combat homelessness known as Housing First.

“The way I usually talk about it is just what the words imply,” Jackson said. “That it’s housing fi rst. ... It’s literally from the sidewalk to the house, no steps in between, no intervention steps or required rehab or any types of steps, evaluations, mental or physical health. It’s straight from the street, to a place of their own.”

Although the community organization is the primary organizer of housing, as well as the ones who interact most

with those housed, the RSO helps to raise awareness through hosting fundraising events and volunteering.

The main fundraising event is known as One Winter Night, or OWN, said Felicia Flary, RSO vice president.

“This event is for the University of Illinois student and faculty members, and its purpose is to raise awareness and funds...by having different administrators and sports team members sleep outside in cardboard boxes on a cold night in February,” Flary said.

Last year, C-U at Home raised close to $30,000 during OWN, and they hope to raise a similar amount this year, said Carleigh VanDettaSmitherman , RSO president.

“The money is raised initially by the public figures being sponsored, and then money is additionally raised on campus by people passing by,” VanDetta-Smitherman said. “For each $100 raised, the fi gure stays outside for another hour, allowing for a greater experience.”

During Homeless and Hunger week in November, C-U at Home will have a blanket drive and food sale. They also volunteer with The Canteen Run, which is a mobile service that gives out food, clothing and other aid throughout Champaign-Urbana.

The RSO also takes surveys of the Champaign-Urbana community. These surveys help determine the most vulnerable and assess the current state of homelessness, Flary said.

So far, the organization C-U at Home has housed six individuals, four of which are currently housed in the three homes available to C-U at Home. With each of these individuals, the program has had varying degrees of success, Jackson said.

Regardless, both C-U at Home the organization and C-U at Home the RSO will continue to raise awareness of Champaign’s homeless.

“I have a passion for serving people, and I believe that everyone deserves a hot meal and a warm bed to sleep in,” Flary said. “The homelessness in our community is often ignored or mocked, and their needs are being neglected. If I have an opportunity to make an impact in someone’s life, no matter how small, I’m going to take it.”

Illinois uses 5 sets to down Northwestern Illini overcome inconsistencies, Wildcats for 2nd straight win

BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

The Illinois volleyball team prevailed over both the Northwestern Wildcats and its own inconsistencies Wednesday night, besting its in-state conference rival in five sets, 20-25, 25-20, 25-14, 17-25, 15-9.

Illinois (10-9, 4-5 Big Ten) came

out sloppy in the first set, allowing Northwestern (13-7, 2-7) to jump out to a 6-2 lead, and the Illini never put together a run to even the score. Illinois uncharacteristically had no blocks and failed to take advantage of five Wildcat service errors. The Wildcats hit .476 in the opening set.

The defensive tone changed

immediately in the second set, as Illinois led off with a block and propelled itself to a 6-1 advantage. The Orange and Blue pushed the lead to 10-4 before allowing Northwestern to make a run. The Wildcats briefly claimed the lead in the second set, but Illinois wrestled it away before going on a 6-2 run to take the set 25-20.

Liz McMahon carried the load for Illinois early on, notching seven kills in the first two sets while usual kills leader Jocelynn

Birks struggled to a .053 hitting percentage.

McMahon has been particularly productive of late for Illinois, which she credited to an increase in confidence and strengthened connection with the setters. Luckily for Illinois, McMahon would get stronger as the match went on.

“She’s like that a little bit — in the first set she’s never great, and then as the match goes on and gets longer, she works her way into it and starts to figure it out and starts to figure out the

hitters,” head coach Kevin Hambly said.

Thanks to a 9-0 run behind the serving of Birks, Illinois got in an offensive groove in the third set, hitting .517 with no hitting errors as a team. True freshman Alexis Viliunas spread the sets around offensively, as no Illinois player had more than five of the team’s 15 kills.

Hambly said Viliunas was noticeably more nervous prior to

Illini winless in Big Ten heading into bye week DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

RECORD

STAT TO NOTE

MVP: ASHANTE WILLIAMS

2-5 (0-3 Big Ten)

Illinois’ special teams is ranked 114th out of 120 in punt returns, averaging 2.1 yards per return. Beckman was supposed to improve the Illini’s porous special teams performance under head coach Ron Zook, who they ranked last in the NCAA under in 2011. Punter Justin DuVernois has struggled with consistency this season; he has a high of 72 yards and a low of 9.

While bright spots have been scarce for the Illini, Williams has stood out among the leaders of the defense. Williams came up with a key interception return for a touchdown in Week One as the momentum was shifting in Western Michigan’s favor to secure one of Illinois’ two victories this season. Beckman has repeatedly praised Williams’ effort throughout the year, and he leads the team in tackles with 48.

This is not how Illinois head coach Tim Beckman wanted to begin his career in Champaign. The Illini were coming off two consecutive bowl victories in as many seasons and entered a winnable Leaders Division with Penn State and Ohio State ineligible for postseason play. But this bye week comes just in time for the Illinois football team.

The Illini have lost four straight games and nine consecutive Big Ten games dating back to last year. Illinois is second to last in the Big Ten in offense, last in defense and just hasn’t been competitive in its losses.

The Illini fell by 31 points to Arizona State, 28 to Louisiana Tech and Penn State, 17 to Wisconsin and 45 this past week to Michigan. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase has played sparingly, having missed time with an ankle injury and he suffered a concussion Saturday. The Illini have struggled to deal with injuries all season with key starters missing time.

BIGGEST SURPRISE: BLOWOUT LOSSES Not only has Illinois lost five of the last six games — it hasn’t even been competitive. The Illini have surrendered more than 30 points in all five losses, including three games of more than 40. The Illini, who ranked seventh nationally in total defense last season, currently ranks 85th out of all FBS teams in points against.

The offense hasn’t been any better, averaging 13.3 points per game against FBS opponents. Running backs Donovonn Young and Josh Ferguson have been stagnant, with Young leading the team with 276 yards.

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: MICHAEL BUCHANAN Buchanan was supposed to pick up where Whitney Mercilus left off, and his preseason goal was a sack each game. He currently has 2.5 sacks on the season. He’s been able to disrupt opposing offenses at times, leading the team with six pass deflections.

However, more often than not, he has not had much of an impact on the game.

BEST NEWCOMER: MASON MONHEIM The freshman linebacker from Orrville, Ohio, has stepped in for injured linebacker Houston Bates and excelled. He has played in all seven games and is third on the team in tackles with 42, adding an interception, a sack, two forced fumbles and 2.5 tackles for a loss. His 11 tackles and a forced fumble against Penn State earned him his first career Big Ten Freshman of the Week.

LOOKING AHEAD The final stretch was supposed to be the easier portion for Illinois, but those teams are playing better than expected. Indiana led for three quarters against Michigan State and nearly upset Ohio State last week.

Purdue started 3-1 but has struggled in conference play. Northwestern is 6-1 and the first bowl eligible team from the Big Ten. Illinois’ chances at a third straight bowl game are looking slim.

ou wake up. You grab some coffee. Make yourself a little breakfast. Shower, maybe.

You sit down in front of the TV and turn on some sort of sports talk show.

You love football. It’s a terrific game. And your team is doing well through six weeks, so your interest in the league is high. You hope the topic is NFL. You want to hear what the pundits and former players have to say.

Lucky for you, they are talking about the NFL. Unlucky for you, the talk — the entire talk — centers around two teams: the New York Jets and the Philadelphia Eagles. You put your face in your hands, shake your head, turn off the TV, stand up, pour out your coffee, call your girlfriend, tell her you don’t love her, kick your dog and go back to bed.

You sigh, “What’s the point?”

This story is not fiction, and it is not an isolated incident. It’s an epidemic.

It’s everywhere, and it’s a shame. There are 32 NFL teams. Outside of your own team, are you as knowledgeable on any team in the NFL as you are on the Eagles and Jets? Conversation about these teams is constant. The talking points are predictable and, more importantly, repetitive. The whole topic is just exhausting. Andy Reid, Tim Tebow, Mark Sanchez, Michael Vick, Rex Ryan, AFC East, NFC East, hot seat, quarterback controversy...

Make it stop.

“Hey, sports fans. Around the AFC East today, these guys did this, the Dolphins lost, I think. Ummm, the Bills won by three, but whatever. And ... oh, the JETS. Yes, the Jets! Well, let me tell you about the Jets.”

NO! Don’t. Don’t go straight to your comfort zone in the Jets and brush past the Bills. Talk about the Bills. I never get to hear experts discuss the Buffalo Bills and that is something I would like to get every once in awhile. How has their offense performed? Is their run game still as potent as it was at the beginning of the season? Is quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick good or just OK? Is he worth the contract he received last season? Is Stevie Johnson talented or just hilarious? Does Buffalo still play games in Canada? What was that all about? What exactly is going on with its logo? Seriously, its logo, it’s a buffalo with a streak coming out of its ear, right?

I mean, it shouldn’t be completely out of the question to talk extensively about the Bills. They’re 3-3 and in the thick of it in the AFC. Eleven teams in the NFL are 3-3. That is 11 playoff contenders to discuss, but you only hear about the Jets and the Eagles. Enough already.

Enough.

I want to hear about the success of the much-mocked NFC West, the Dolphins, Ravens, Raiders and the Colts. I want to hear about the Lions, the Buccaneers, the overrated Panthers and the underrated Vikings.

And I want to hear about the Chicago Bears. Yes, that is right, the first-place Chicago Bears. They look great early on, but you sure wouldn’t know it if you only watched ESPN. How many more games do the 4-1 Bears have to win to warrant a discussion over 3-3 green-andwhite teams from the east?

Forgive my rant, fantasy fans. Here is the advice section with some players to start in Week Seven. And no, there aren’t any damned Eagles or Jets on this list.

Beckett protects endangered species Dodgers starter finds ocelots on hunting ranch

BY CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

McALLEN, Texas — Not even the legal equivalent of a fastball under the chin could stop a Texas pipeline builder from clearing acres of brush that Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Josh Beckett claims is critical habitat for the endangered ocelot.

A federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Laredo by two of Beckett’s companies asks a judge to stop any further work on the natural gas pipeline and specify what the builder must do under the Endangered Species Act. The companies filed a motion for a temporary restraining order Wednesday that included a statement from Beckett describing two occasions when he saw what he believes were ocelots.

But the clearing of about 40 acres of thick native scrub on a 7,000-acre hunting ranch about 100 miles southwest of San Antonio was finished earlier this month despite a warning Beckett’s lawyers sent to Eagle Ford Midstream LP and its parent NET Midstream in August.

The pipeline company had obtained an easement across Beckett’s Herradura Ranch in state court, according to the lawsuit. Beckett Ventures Inc. and Hall of Fame Land Ventures LP claim that they urged the company to choose a shorter, direct path rather than the diagonal swath that was cleared.

“Plaintiffs have attempted repeatedly, and failed, to persuade defendants to adopt

an environmentally responsible route that will not cause a prohibited ‘take’ of the endangered ocelot, which has been spotted on the ranch and which has extensive habitat on the ranch,” according to the motion filed Wednesday.

But the company filed a response with the court Wednesday, arguing that the ranch’s activity posed a greater threat than their pipeline. They pointed out that a state court denied Beckett’s similar request to halt their project earlier this month.

Jim Blackburn, who filed the lawsuit, said Beckett’s companies went to state court first because the waiting period for federal jurisdiction under the Endangered Species Act hadn’t passed before Eagle Ford Midstream started clearing land. He thinks Eagle Ford intentionally destroyed the habitat during that waiting period.

“We were trying to do everything we could to stop them from clearing the vegetation,” Blackburn said.

Eagle Ford Midstream noted that emails it received from Beckett’s lawyers in April requested an alternative route because of the impact on an irrigation system and the ranch’s hunting business with no mention of endangered species.

“The protection of the ocelot was merely a sham to leverage additional money from (Eagle-Ford Midstream) in exchange for an easement,” the response said.

Beckett was bow hunting from a camouflaged blind on the ranch six years ago when he saw a “very stealthy” cat with unusual markings come through a fence and walk down a drainage, according to statement filed with the court Wednesday.

Two years later, he saw an identical spotted cat followed by a kitten, again while bow hunting. Beckett said was confident it was not a common bobcat. His father saw an adult and kitten that he believed were ocelots on the ranch in 2010.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young (16) watches the ball before catching it after a pass was tipped by players in the end zone in the final moments of the fourth quarter against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 23 in Nashville, Tenn. Young scored a touchdown on the play to tie the game and send it into overtime. The Titans won 44-41 in overtime.

Late-game rallies not enough for 2-3 Detroit THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions are averaging a little more than two touchdowns in the fourth quarter this season. Finding that same production before the start of the final period has proved elusive.

The Lions (2-3) have scored 73 points in the fourth this season, trailing only Denver’s 79, and both victories came after final-period rallies. Detroit scored a pair of late touchdowns to upend St. Louis in the opener and had a 17-point fourth quarter to force overtime before winning at Philadelphia last Sunday.

The same offense has produced just 50 points and two touchdowns in the first three quarters five games into the season.

“If I had the answer, I’d take the pads off and start coaching,” said receiver Nate Burleson, who caught a fourth-quarter scoring pass in Sunday’s 26-23 win against the Eagles.

“We’ve got to go out and find that spark

at the beginnings of games.”

Quarterback Matthew Stafford, who threw for more than 5,000 yards last season, is the league’s best final-quarter passer this fall. He’s 57 for 89 for 714 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. The runner-up, Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton, is more than 125 yards behind.

Last Sunday’s victory, which ended with a Jason Hanson field goal, was the eighth game-winning drive of Stafford’s career. He was 15 for 24 for 220 yards there.

“We can’t make it this hard on ourselves every week. We understand that,” he said, “but at the same time, a win’s a win in the National Football league and they don’t always come easy.”

Coach Jim Schwartz and several players lauded the team’s perseverance but were quick to add they’d rather see less drama in the final 15 minutes.

“There’s talented guys here who

can come back and make games out of nothing and win games when we’re down by double-digit points,” center Dominic Raiola said. “But at the same time, we’re not trying to put ourselves in that situation. We like to think we have the weapons to always get ourselves back into games, but let’s keep that in reserve.”

Detroit is averaging seven first-half points in its three losses. That kind of performance could be too much to overcome Monday night when the Lions visit Chicago. The NFC North-leading Bears have allowed the fewest points in the league this season, are thirdbest in total defense and tied for most takeaways.

Schwartz said he’d be a lot happier if his team wasn’t playing from behind.

“We have to be efficient in all four quarters,” he said. “It can make a difference for us if we can get a lead and hold a lead. We certainly want to score in all four quarters.”

Cash-strapped Greek soccer team Bears’ head coach Smith praises seeks sponsorships in brothels Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli walks on the field before a preseason game against the Washington Redskins in Chicago on Aug. 18. Ask head coach Lovie Smith about Marinelli, and the Bears' coach comes about as close as he ever gets to waxing poetic. They have a long history together, and the Bears' defensive line is performing as well as any.

defensive coordinator Marinelli

BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Ask Lovie Smith about Rod Marinelli and the Chicago Bears coach comes about as close as he ever gets to waxing poetic.

That’s hardly a surprise.

Smith and Marinelli are longtime friends, and Chicago’s defense is performing as well as any heading into Monday night’s game against the Detroit Lions.

It helps having Pro Bowl players such as Julius Peppers and Lance Briggs, but don’t underestimate the impact of their defensive coordinator.

“I couldn’t do Rod justice by saying just one thing that he does,” Smith said. “He does so much. Again, I know I talk about this always, I’ve known him so long and I’ve seen him in every situation. He’s just a great man, great coach, great leader.

We could spend the rest of the day talking about him. He’s such a valuable part of what we’re doing here.”

What they’re doing at the moment is impressive, and the defense is a big reason why Chicago leads the NFC North at 4-1.

The Bears are holding opponents to 291.2 yards per game and rank third overall on defense. They’re tops against the run, lead the league in interceptions (13), are tied for fourth in sacks (18) and the defense has done its share of scoring, too.

That group has five touchdowns this season — all on interceptions in the past

three games — and has given up just five TDs to opposing offenses.

Unsung players such as cornerback Tim Jennings (four interceptions, 14 pass breakups) and defensive tackle Henry Melton (4 ½ sacks) have come up big, and a line that was a big question mark has created more than enough chaos.

And a big reason for all that is Marinelli. Now in his third season as coordinator and fourth on the Bears’ staff, the Bears jumped at the chance to hire him as the line coach even after an awful three-year run as Detroit’s head coach.

He was fired after the Lions went 0-16 in 2008, but he was also a logical fit for Chicago. After all, he was friends with Smith and knew the Cover-2 defense.

“We just learned it from the floor up together,” Marinelli said. “Trying to understand it and see it, the details that go into the system. When all the details and fundamentals that go in and how to drill it. I think it’s the real belief, we have a great belief in what we do and how we do things. We kind of grew up in it with coach (Tony) Dungy and his belief obviously is very strong in it.

We’ve always been tied to the system and how to do things.”

Players praise Marinelli’s attention to detail and ability to get his message across.

“Before Coach Marinelli, I just did my job,” defensive end Israel Idonije said. “I lined up. Now, I know the passing strengths.

I know just the entire offense and what their plan is and us as a defense, how to get a better matchup.”

BY DEREK GATOPOULOS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LARISSA, Greece — The world’s oldest profession is giving a whole new meaning to love of the game.

Players on a cash-strapped Greek soccer team now wear pink practice jerseys with the logos “Villa Erotica” and “Soula’s House of History,” two bordellos it recruited as sponsors after drastic government spending cuts left the country’s sports clubs facing ruin.

The amateur Voukefalas club — whose players include pizza delivery guys, students, waiters and a bartender — has raised eyebrows with its flamboyant sponsorship choice.

“Unfortunately, amateur football has been abandoned by almost everyone,” said Yiannis Batziolas, the club’s youthful chairman, who runs a travel agency and is the team’s backup goalkeeper. “It’s a question of survival.”

Prostitution is legal in Greece, where brothels operate under strict guidelines.

Though garish neon signs advertising their services are tolerated, the soccer sponsorship has ruffled some feathers in the sports-mad city of Larissa. League organizers have banned the pink jerseys during games, saying the deal violates “the sporting ideal” and is inappropriate for underage fans.

Batziolas acknowledges the sponsorship took his team by surprise. “They didn’t believe it in the beginning,” he said. “But when they saw the shirts printed, they thought it was funny.”As Greece heads toward a sixth year of recession, drastic budget cuts have hammered

NIKOLAS GIAKOUMIDIS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Voukefalas players, a small amateur soccer club, warm up before a local championship match on Oct. 7, in the city of Larissa, Greece. A cash-strapped Greek soccer team has found a new way to pay the bills, with help from the world’s oldest profession. many ordinary people: Retirees have been left to cover their own medical expenses, children have lost school bus services, and sports teams have scrambled to find sponsors as businesses close under the burden of emergency taxes.

Brothel owner Soula Alevridou, the team’s new benefactor, has already paid more than 1,000 euros ($1,312) for players to wear her jerseys. The team is appealing the game ban, but that doesn’t worry the 67-year-old Alevridou, who says she’s only in it because she loves soccer.

The impact of the crisis on sports is a

major local concern. The town of 200,000 fielded the only professional club to ever break big-city domination of the league, winning the national championship in 1988. In 2007, Larissa FC also rebounded from bankruptcy for victory in the prestigious Greek Cup. Voukefalas says it needs about 10,000 euros ($13,120) a year to meet expenses, and Alevridou has promised more cash.

“Here is where it all begins, with amateur sport. It’s where the talent is bred” she noted. “I am a Greek woman, and I love my country.”

“The team will get better,” she said.

Men’s tennis heads to Mich. State for ITA Midwest Regionals

BY STEVEN VAZQUEZ STAFF WRITER

Illinois men’s tennis head coach Brad Dancer will be driving his team back to his alma mater this weekend as the team ventures to Michigan State for the ITA Midwest Regional championships.

The 20-team tournament starts Thursday morning with the singles qualifying rounds.

Freshmen Julian Childers and Alex Jesse will both compete in the singles qualifier with hopes of making one of the eight spots remaining in the main draw of

FANTASY DOC FROM PAGE 1B what disregarded in fantasy drafts in the post-Peyton Manning era because it was, well, post-Peyton Manning. Criticisms were widespread. People, myself included, believed he was nothing more than a product of perfect Manning passes. And we were wrong. Maybe Wayne is playing with a chip on his shoulder, or maybe he’s

VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE 1B the start of Wednesday’s home game than before her debut in East Lansing, Mich. The true freshman admitted to being “a little bit nervous.”

“It’s a different atmosphere than it is at, like, Michigan State,” she added. “I liked it. I’ll get used to it eventually.”

Northwestern appeared to be giving Illinois points off errors and eventually lost the set 25-14; Hambly, however, said it was

the tournament in which seniors Stephen Hoh and Bruno Abdelnour are seeded No. 11 and No. 14, respectively, out of a field of 56. Freshman Jared Hiltzik, the nation’s top recruit last year, draws the No. 13 seed, while sophomores Tim Kopinski, Farris Gosea and Ross Guignon are also in the main draw, as is freshman Brian Page.

Hoh and Abdelnour will have the privilege of being matched up against a qualifier in the first round. Hiltzik is slated to face Western Michigan freshman

Andrew Cahn, who is 8-5 in singles this season.

The Illini will also have four doubles teams, two which are seeded, competing in the main draw this weekend. Gosea and Kopinski enter the first round seeded at No. 8, while Hoh and Page are seeded at No. 11. Gosea and Kopinski will be matched up against the Michigan State pair of Will Davis and Doug Zade in the first round. Page and Hoh will face Western Michigan’s Cahn and Aaron Wong.

Dancer is looking to leave his

former school with some victories this weekend, as the team has not won as many matches as it would like. He has continued to stress, however, that the fall season is not all about wins and losses.

You go into a tournament thinking confident or not confident,” Dancer said. “More than anything, (we’re) trying to get the guys accustomed to preparing themselves so that they’re ready to go and they feel hungry, motivated, physically and mentally prepared to play.”

Associate coach Marcos Asse

said although the team is young, he’s not worried about it being rattled from traveling because all freshmen have played in national tournaments during high school and thus are used to being on the road. He is more concerned with seeing the players use what they have been working on in practice.

“As we work on forehand development with certain guys or serve spots with certain guys, (we want to see them) implementing those in competition, which sometimes can be a scary thing,” Asse said. “It’s easy to default

back into ‘just don’t lose’ mode, and (we) want to see them attacking and going for their shots.”

Dancer added that the Illini are not projected to be in the semifi nals, so if a player makes it there, “That would be a good run for us.”

The singles and doubles winners of this tournament will advance to the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships in New York.

always been this good and we just refused to notice. But make no mistake about it now. He is good. He is very good. He is so good, he makes Andrew Luck look better. Yes, the golden boy wonder Luck needs Wayne early on in his career. Expect the rookie quarterback to keep looking Wayne’s way this week against the Browns.

Ben Roethlisberger (quarterback, Steelers) — Very simple: Efficiency is the name of the game for Big Ben thus far, and

he is playing a Bengals team Sunday that cannot stop the pass. Trust me, I hate Roethlisberger. I really do. But as much as it pains me to say, he’s a smart play this week. I’m going to go take a long look in the mirror now.

in 2012. Four. He’s on pace to finish the season with 13. What happened? No matter the reason for the regression, it’s impossible to deny it. And he’s playing an extra-prepared Bears defense, which intercepts every pass anyway, that is coming off a bye week.

Marshawn Lynch (running back, Seahawks) — He had his worst week of the season and now he heads into San Francisco. That’s a bad combination for a running back. But I’ve

always been low on Lynch, so take this all with a grain of salt.

He was pathetic while in Buffalo. He had one good run in a playoff game that has defined his career. He likes Skittles like every other rational human and for all this, we love him. But I’m just not sold.

Cam Newton (quarterback, Panthers) — Hoorah! The overrated Cam Newton has finally shown his true colors. Five interceptions compared to only four passing touchdowns this

season. Brilliance! A 12-of-29 effort for 141 yards last week against Seattle. Incredible! A steady regression of passing yards each game in four consecutive games. Remarkable! A 58.8 completion percentage, a mark that puts him in the bottom 10 among NFL quarterbacks. Outstanding!

Cam sucks.

merely his team playing at a high level.

“Even though we ran away with it at 14 (points allowed), we had to play at an extremely high level to beat them,” Hambly said. “It seemed like they gave us points (in the third set), but they didn’t.

And they went back and they had only two errors. They were playing at a high level and we didn’t — we needed to maintain that.”

As the Illini waited for the Wildcats to continue making mistakes they weren’t actually making, a re-energized Northwestern squad leapt to a 15-8 advantage,

eventually taking the fourth set easily, 25-17.

In the deciding fifth set, the Northwestern mistakes were no illusion. Two Wildcats errors gave Illinois a quick advantage, and Illinois rode the momentum — and the hot hands of McMahon and Birks — to a clinching victory while holding Northwestern to -.125 hitting, which brought it down to a .270 mark for the match.

“To be honest, we just need wins,” McMahon said.

In her 10 years of coaching at Illinois, Rayfield is not new to seeing players step out onto the field at Illinois Soccer and Track Stadium for their fi nal time. This Sunday won’t bring tears of sadness but of pride for

Illinois’ head coach.

“They’ve spent four years of blood, sweat and tears at this institution,” Rayfield said. “We’re celebrating what they have done and given to this program and certainly hope that their season and their careers last beyond the games this weekend. It’s a chance for the fans, their teammates, the staff and even the administration to say thanks for what the seniors have done for this program over the last four years.”
