Local police recently began stepping up enforcement of discipline for bicyclists committing offenses from riding the wrong way to not being on the proper path. But the University’s Facilities and Services Department isn’t shy about the fact that conditions of the bicycle paths and lanes are poor and in need of repair. Morgan Joh nston, coordinator of Transportation Demand Management at Facilities and Services, said despite a $1.5 million grant given to the department to repave the paths, construction is not scheduled to begin until this summer. Johnston said she is aware the infrastructure for cyclists is in “dire straights” and said the University plans to use the money to implement changes to the bike paths, specifically on Sixth Street between Gregory Drive and Armory Avenue, Fourth Street to Kirby Avenue and resurfacing

Sexual health experts at the University support the fi ndings of a recent report that ranked Illinois fi rst in sexual health out of 141 other schools in the nation. The report, called Trojan Condom Brand’s 2012 Sexual Health Report Card, based its rankings on the sexual health resources available to students on campus with data collected from student health centers. All the institutions were critiqued on categories including the usability and quality of their health center websites, condom and contraception availability and STI/HIV testing on site, according to the report card. Lena Hann, clinical instructor and Master of Public Health program coordinator, said sexual health education in a college setting is very important. Hann said she was excited to see the University’s recently released rank and immediately posted it to the discussion board of her Human Sexuality class. “Besides the actual sexual health topics we talk about, what I like to do with my class is emphasize the amount of local resources that students have for their sexual health,” she said. “Every day there’s something [regarding] sexual health going on on campus.” Hann said for her class’ midterm, she assigns students in her section to go out in the community and research a local sexual health resource.

University police concerned about detecting real, toy guns BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER
Students may want to rethink dressing up as police officers for Halloween. Members of the University Police Department are expressing concerns regarding the differences between BB guns used as costume accessories and real guns. Capt. Skip Frost of the University Police Department said the main differences between a real gun and a BB gun are the materials inside the cartridge, the colored tip and the size of the magazine. Frost said many people who have BB guns as part of their costume remove the colored tip distinguishing the prop from the real thing in an effort to make the accessory appear more legitimate. Frost said this makes it difficult for officers to determine whether someone is carrying an illegal weapon or a toy. Andy Dallas, owner of Dallas and Company, a local costume shop, said sometimes there are students who paint the tips black to make the guns look real. “Even if your gun was white, they can paint it black and make it look like a real gun,” he said. “The fact is, as long as they have those marks in them, they are considered toys and police can see them as toys immediately.”
oritized above student interests. “Faculty concerns are different from student concerns,” he said. “It’s important for direct representation, for direct voice from constituents.” Maskeri said he contacted senators from the Chicago and Springfield campuses who will present the resolution within their respective senates. Although the document may be revised, Maskeri said the general principle would stay the same.
Ryan Young, ISS vice president-external, said he thinks of the University Senates Conference as an important advocacy body for students. “These are groups that have actual power and binding authority,” he said. “It’s where the faculty and staff and indirectly students, have the fi nal say in authority over what happens at the University.”

Federal law requires that “each toy, look-alike, or imitation firearm shall have as an integral part, permanently affixed, a blaze orange plug inserted in the barrel of such toy, look-alike, or imitation firearm.” The only exception is for fake weapons used in theater or movies, in which case, the law allows the Secretary of Commerce to waive the requirement. Dallas said he encourages students not to take the colored tip off the BB guns. In past years, the department had to arrest a student who was pointing an air soft gun at another person through an open window in Scott Hall. “We responded as we should because the report that was made to us is they were pointing this weapon out the window and pointing at people on the sidewalk,” he said. Sgt. Matt Myrick of the University Police Department said these kind of incidents frustrate him. “I got a wife and family and just can’t take the chance of whether it’s a real gun or a toy gun,” Myrick said. “This is the real world and real stuff ... My intention is to stop the threat.”

The Illinois Student Senate will vote on a proposal at Wednesday’s meeting that would allow students to be a part of the University Senates Conference. The conference, which senator Jim Maskeri, senior in LAS,
calls “the end-all be-all of shared (University) governance,” is the link between faculties of the Urbana-Champaign, Chicago and Springfield campuses. The conference also acts as an advisory to the Board of Trustees. Maskeri wrote the resolution and said currently only faculty can be members of the conference. Although they must represent the values and voice of the students, Maskeri said he believes faculty interests are pri-

Border shooter pleads guilty Man to undergo sentencing for killing border patrol agent BY JACQUES BILLEAUD ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — A Mexican man pleaded guilty Tuesday in the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent whose death revealed the botched “Fast and Furious” gunsmuggling operation, marking the biggest conviction to date in a case that embarrassed the federal government and prompted a series of congressional investigations. In his guilty plea, Manuel Osorio-Arellanes admitted that he
was part of a rip-off crew that sneaked into the United States from Mexico about a week before the death of Agent Brian Terry. They stashed guns and food supplies on the U.S. side of the border and killed Terry as they searched for marijuana smugglers to rob. Authorities haven’t said which member of the rip-off crew was believed to have fired the fatal shot at Terry on Dec. 14, 2010. Of the five men charged in Terry’s murder, only two are in custody, while three others remain fugitives. Prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty against OsorioArellanes, who could face life in prison for the first-degree murder conviction. Terry’s death lifted the veil on the bungled federal government’s
gun-smuggling investigation that was later the subject of congressional probes. Federal authorities have faced heavy criticism for allowing suspected straw gun buyers to walk away from shops with weapons, rather than arrest the suspects and seize the guns there. Two rifles bought by a gunsmuggling ring that was being monitored through “Fast and Furious” were found at the scene. But authorities have declined to say whether the murder weapon in Terry’s death was linked to a purchase from the operation. Terry and three other agents came under attack in a canyon north of the Arizona border city of Nogales by Osorio-Arellanes and four other men who had come to the U.S. to rob marijua-
na smugglers, investigators have said. Osorio-Arellanes, of El Fuerte in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, was shot during the gunfight and has been in custody since the night of the shooting. Osorio-Arellanes told investigators he raised his weapon toward the agents during the shootout but didn’t open fire, the FBI said. Sentencing has been set for Jan. 11 before U.S. District Judge David Bury. Osorio-Arellanes’ attorney, Clay Hernandez , declined through an assistant to comment on Tuesday on the plea. “Today’s plea is an important step in seeking justice on behalf of Agent Terry,” Laura Duffy, the top federal prosecutor in San Diego whose office is prosecuting the case, said in a statement.
JONATHAN DAVIS THE DAILY ILLINI
Kinesiology and community health professor Lena Hann spoke to her human sexuality class on Tuesday about UIUC being ranked first in the Trojan Sexual Health Report Card rankings.
SEXUAL HEALTH FROM PAGE 1A “It’s not just about sitting in a classroom and gaining the information and learning the material,” Hann said. “There’s actually sexual health programming that’s going on all the time. And whether it’s through registered student organizations or actual resource centers on campus (or) academic speakers who are doing a lot of research in the field of sexual health, (they) are coming to town all the time.” Hann said although she and her students know of all the resources available on and off campus, other students who are not in the class may not. The Trojan report acts as a third party reinforcing the idea that there are sexual health events and opportunities available to students, she said. “At the college level, I think sexuality education is extremely important,” Hann said. “And I think it’s important to have a variety of ways for students to learn about it because obviously a human sexuality course isn’t required.” McKinley Health Center does offer a variety of services to students, including access to a sexual health consultant, the availability of condoms and other forms of contraception and STD testing, paid for by the health service fee all students pay. “All of that happens with the support that we gather from the
fee,” Palinkas said. “But we hopefully deliver the goods.” Although the report praises the University, Robert Palinkas, director of McKinley Health Center, said he believes the ranking may be more geared toward publicity for Trojan, rather than a source of information. He said Trojan representatives most likely did a “long-distance visit on our website” because to his knowledge, no one from Trojan contacted the University about the study. “We’re always happy to talk about health and see this as a health issue rather than some other portrayal of the University, so we’re pleased with it,” Palinkas said. “I do think they’re probably going to use this as a marketing tool because it gets people to see the brand of their product, so I do wonder about whether or not in some way they may be trying to play it for more than it’s worth.” Besides the “goods” McKinley offers, Palinkas said he thinks the campus does well with keeping students informed about sexual health, whether it’s through interaction with the Sexual Health Peers, a student group that focuses on educating other students about sexual health, local resources, like Planned Parenthood and the Champaign Urbana Public Health District, or by learning about sex in the classroom.

Illinois works to find new homes for disabled adults BY TAMMY WEBBER ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. — The state will work to find new homes for residents at a central Illinois institution for the developmentally disabled after a state panel agreed Tuesday to close it for good, part of Gov. Pat Quinn’s sweeping plan to change the way such residents are cared for and to save tens of millions of dollars a year. The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board voted 6-1 to allow the Department of Human Services close the Jacksonville Developmental Center, which has provided a home for developmentally disabled adults for more than 100 years. Most will be moved into small group homes or apartments, which many advocates say allows them to live more productive and satisfying lives. The closure had been set for Wednesday, but it was delayed until Nov. 21. “What we’ve learned over the past 25 years is that people do so much better in community options when they’re involved close to their families and friends. When they’re hidden away in state institutions, it’s the most expensive, least productive ... outcomes,” said Tony Paulauski, executive director of the advocacy group The Arc of Illinois. He said some people have lived at the Jacksonville facility for decades, though it was not intended as a permanent home. But some of the more than two dozen people who testified at Tuesday’s hearing — including parents, the facility’s director and Jacksonville’s mayor — asked the panel to block the closure, saying not every developmentally disabled person is able to leave the institutional setting because of health or behavioral issues.
Rosetta and Dan Milligan of Springfield said their son is living in the Jacksonville center after failed attempts at other housing arrangements, including one group home where he fell from a third-story window. So far, they said, the only group home willing to accept him is in the Chicago suburb of Cicero, about 200 miles from their home. “Since I have so few to choose from, what if something wouldn’t work out? Then where would he go?” Rosetta Milligan said. David Iacono-Harris said his son, Jonathan, has been institutionalized for more than 30 years because of severe behavioral problems that sometimes put others in danger. “He needs institutional care,” Iacono-Harris said, adding that he fears for his son’s life. But others testified that most developmentally disabled residents, including those with the most severe behavior problems, adapt well to community-based living, where they’re able to be more independent and make more friends. “All people have the same rights and opportunities as all other citizens,” said Margaret Harkness of the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities, which supports the closure. “The current system is broken.” The Quinn administration has said families that absolutely reject community care can move a disabled resident to one of the remaining state institutions. Paulauski said Illinois has almost 2,000 developmentally disabled residents in institutions, among the most in the nation. Most other states have moved toward community care, including 14 that have eliminated institutions altogether.

Brian Hajeski, 41, of Brick, N.J., reacts after looking at debris of a home that washed up on to the Mantoloking Bridge the morning after superstorm Sandy rolled through Tuesday in Mantoloking, N.J. Sandy, the storm that made landfall Monday, caused multiple fatalities, halted mass transit and cut power to more than 6 million homes and businesses.
Superstorm kills at least 48 people 17 states as far west as Michigan. Nearly 2 million of those were in New York, where large swaths of lower Manhattan lost electricity and entire streets ended up under water — as did seven subway tunnels between Manhattan and Brooklyn at one point, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said. The New York Stock Exchange was closed for a second day from weather, the fi rst time that has happened since a blizzard in 1888. The city’s subway system, the lifeblood of more than 5 million residents, was damaged like never before and closed indefi nitely, and Consolidated Edison said electricity in and around New York could take a week to restore. “Everybody knew it was coming. Unfortunately, it was everything they said it was,” said Sal Novello, a construction executive who rode out the storm with his wife, Lori, in the Long Island town of Lindenhurst, and ended up with 7 feet of water in the basement. The scope of the storm’s damage wasn’t known yet. Though early predictions of river flooding in Sandy’s inland path were petering out, colder temperatures made snow the main product of Sandy’s slow march from
the sea. Parts of the West Virginia mountains were blanketed with 2 feet of snow by Tuesday afternoon, and drifts 4 feet deep were reported at Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the Tennessee-North Carolina border. With Election Day a week away, the storm also threatened to affect the presidential campaign. Federal disaster response, always a dicey political issue, has become even thornier since government mismanagement of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. And poll access and voter turnout, both of which hinge upon how people are impacted by the storm, could help shift the outcome in an extremely close race. As organized civilization came roaring back Tuesday in the form of emergency response, recharged cellphones and the reassurance of daylight, harrowing stories and pastiches emerged from Maryland north to Rhode Island in the hours after Sandy’s howling winds and tidal surges shoved water over seaside barriers, into lowlying streets and up from coastal storm drains. Images from around the stormaffected areas depicted scenes reminiscent of big-budget disaster movies. In Atlantic City, N.J., a gaping hole remained where once a stretch of boardwalk sat by the sea. In Queens, N.Y., rubble from a fi re that destroyed as many as 100 houses in an evacuated beachfront neighborhood
jutted into the air at ugly angles against a gray sky. In heavily flooded Hoboken, N.J., across the Hudson River from Manhattan, dozens of yellow cabs sat parked in rows, submerged in murky water to their windshields. At the ground zero construction site in lower Manhattan, sea water rushed into a gaping hole under harsh floodlights. One of the most dramatic tales came from lower Manhattan, where a failed backup generator forced New York University’s Tisch Hospital to relocate more than 200 patients, including 20 babies from neonatal intensive care. Dozens of ambulances lined up in the rainy night and the tiny patients were gingerly moved out, some attached to battery-powered respirators as gusts of wind blew their blankets. In Moonachie, N.J., 10 miles north of Manhattan, water rose to 5 feet within 45 minutes and trapped residents who thought the worst of the storm had passed. Mobile-home park resident Juan Allen said water overflowed a 2-foot wall along a nearby creek, fi lling the area with 2 to 3 feet of water within 15 minutes. “I saw trees not just knocked down but ripped right out of the ground,” he said. “I watched a tree crush a guy’s house like a wet sponge.” In a measure of its massive size, waves on southern Lake Michigan rose to a record-tying 20.3 feet.
ate,” Young said. “It’s time this part of the legislative structure catches up with the others and allows there to be student representation when it comes to the ultimate collaborative body.” If the resolution is passed within ISS on Wednesday during the meeting, Maskeri said he plans to revise the resolution and present it to the Urbana-Champaign Senate at their December meeting. The senators will also be discussing a proposal to update
the grade replacement policy to include transfer credit from community colleges and other universities. Rachel Heller, sophomore in LAS, wrote the proposal and said it would allow students with transfer credit that meets University requirements to take the equivalent of the class for grade replacement on campus. “I think it will make grade replacement easier in terms of accessibility,” she said. “It gives
students another option, and it’s more convenient to take (the class) here.” As the policy stands, students can only replace a University course with another University course, but Heller said she hopes this proposal will allow for equivalent courses from community colleges and other universities to be included.
issued fewer than 75 tickets but given several hundred warnings to bikers. Eric Green, graduate student, expressed frustration with the condition of the bike paths and lanes. “If you go around campus and look at the bicycle paths, they’re either full of potholes or you can’t even see where the bicycles are supposed to be riding,” Green said. Green pointed out one example at the intersection of Wright Street and Armory Avenue where the bike path crosses through a bus stop. This forces bikers to unlawfully ride on the one-way street against
traffic. “The bike path is in such bad condition that it’s more dangerous than just riding in the road,” he said. Despite the state of the infrastructure, Johnston said as the number of cyclists have increased, so has the amount of people breaking the laws. “Bicyclists need to use the same Illinois vehicle code that drivers need to use,” Johnston said. “If you’re riding a bicycle, the safest place for you to be is in the street. It is not safer to be on the sidewalk.” Kenneth Sutto, shop owner of the Campus Bike Project, said he understood the
frustration cyclists had with the infrastructure, and a good solution was to suggest change through the new iCAP portal provided online by the Office of Student Sustainability. “I highly encourage all students who care on this matter to contact the administrators and Facilities and Services,” Sutto said. “I think the kids often forget that they’re paying a lot of money to this college for a variety of experiences, and they should feel free to voice their opinions on what should be done.”
‘Nature is an awful lot more powerful than we are,’ says New York mayor BY TED ANTHONY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — The most devastating storm in decades to hit the country’s most densely populated region upended man and nature as it rolled back the clock on 21st-century lives, cutting off modern communication and leaving millions without power Tuesday as thousands who fled their water-menaced homes wondered when — if — life would return to normal. A weakening Sandy, the hurricane turned fearsome superstorm, killed at least 48 people, many hit by falling trees, and still wasn’t fi nished. It inched inland across Pennsylvania, ready to bank toward western New York to dump more of its water and likely cause more havoc Tuesday night. Behind it: a dazed, inundated New York City, a waterlogged Atlantic Coast and a moonscape of disarray and debris — from unmoored shoretown boardwalks to submerged mass-transit systems to delicate presidential politics. “Nature,” said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, assessing the damage to his city, “is an awful lot more powerful than we are.” More than 8.2 million households were without power in

Holiday dedicated to inventor of LED and University professor reminds us of Illinois’ excellence
JOHN BUYSSE Opinions columnist
F
ifty years ago this month, Nick Holonyak Jr., a devotee to the application of science, gave birth to the light-emitting diode. Since then, his invention has trickled down to the most commonplace items in our lives, from our phones to our Christmas lights. LEDs will soon dominate the light-source market. The invention rivals that of Thomas Edison’s lightbulb, Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone and Henry Ford’s use of an assembly line to amp up the production of automobiles. Gov. Pat Quinn declared Oct. 24 to be Nick Holonyak Day in Illinois last week, and Holonyak’s revered name has been celebrated for his accomplishments in pioneering a field that is now teeming with a cornucopia of research. This genius of electrical engineering, father of the LED and winner of many science and technology awards from around the world still resides on our campus, where he began working in 1963, following employment at General Electric. He is a professor in electrical and computer engineering remaining a true orangeand-blue Illini, earning his bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate in electrical engineering at the University too. What he has done with his time here at the University has been extraordinary, and we are honored that he is still as dedicated to developing progress in his research as he was 50 years ago. At a school that at times tends toward a culture and atmosphere of mediocrity, that should instead feel like a culture of excellence, reminders like Nick Holonyak Day can inspire us. It’s easy to forget that students and faculty from this University have invented cutting-edge technologies like YouTube, designed world-famous buildings like Avery Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center in New York, won the coveted trophies of the Academy Awards (Ang Lee) and Pulitzer Prizes (James Reston and Leon Dash), founded charities like Susan G. Komen for the Cure and so many more accomplishments. Last week, the University celebrated the LED and Holonyak in a two-day symposium, visited by those who learned from him, who turned out to be the top-dogs of light-source innovators in the world. “This (symposium) is to honor the true inventor, who is here, and we’re very lucky to have world-renowned professors at the University,” said Milton Feng, professor and Holonyak’s colleague in ECE, in a Daily Illini report. “Seldom do you have this many famous people coming to the same place at once.” The University is highly acclaimed for being a research institution, but sometimes as students, we don’t take as much pride in this as we should. At such a large university, the greatness of current students and faculty and alumni can easily escape our attention when the University is identified for their marvelous achievements. Let’s continue to celebrate the successes of Holonyak and innovators like him because what inspires brilliant, groundbreaking work in any field of study starts at the opportunities we’ve had at this University.

The best really does come out in people in times of need. These stories are the ones that should circulate when we look back on Hurricane Sandy. When times are bad, most people hightail it out — and rightfully so. But these men and women are heroes because they faced it head on and risked themselves to put others ahead of them. Yes, Hurricane Sandy posed a real threat to anyone in its path, but these folks dared to try it to serve the ones who couldn’t get out of the way. So when we reflect on what was Hurricane Sandy, we’ll remember how the enormity of the storm was remarkable. But, more importantly, let’s cherish the lengths people go to ensure the safety of others.
has long been a dream of mine to have a personal website. Recently, I found the patience and motivation to make this dream a reality by building and launching www.johnbuysse.com. On the night I decided to launch it, I shared the link on my various social media accounts. Being the millennial that I am, I not so secretly hoped for and expected a rush of likes, comments and re-tweets. And, like the millennial that I am, receiving these digital pats on the back were definitely an ego boost. The most shocking part, though, came in the slightly more traditional form of an email. It wasn’t just any congratulatory email, though. It was an email from an Illinois alum working in the advertising industry. After congratulating me on launching the website, this generous alum also began a conversation about potential job and internship opportunities for the future. This email was from someone I have admired and respected for a long time. I thought, “This isn’t how this works. How was he reaching out to me?” I was floored and already felt the investment of time and money had been worth it. As most employment-seeking students would agree, the hunt for the perfect internship (or any internship) can be long and grueling and filled with rejection. For many, it involves attending countless recruiting presentations and career fairs while completing dozens of online applications that eventually blend together in monotony. When discussing the process with other ambitious Illinois students, people often complain that there is no chance that their resume will garner enough attention to go from the “no” to the “yes” pile, or even the “maybe” pile. Sadly, many of them are right. I am not saying that because they are unqualified and incompetent. In fact, many of them are ideal interns for companies in their profession. The issue for many is that they just are not selling themselves properly. As you might guess from that last sentence, I study advertising. Selling products, brands and services is my passion and career ambition. With that, I, as an advertising major, must uniquely market myself to potential employers in ways that are probably unacceptable for most engineers, accountants or aspiring academics. My website includes work from classes and extracurricular activities but also includes my Tumblr posts and tweets. The combination of these features and a strong presence on the professional networking site LinkedIn have combined for a clear, concise personal brand image that leaves a strong impression on anyone that views it. As I said, this is definitely not the right method of branding for everyone, but it is an example of how I have chosen to sell myself. Anyone outside of the unique field of advertising must find a discipline-appropriate way to do this as well. If you’re a graphic design major, this might mean a portfolio website of your work and a Twitter account dedicated to discussing good design. If you’re studying accountancy, this might mean a strong presence on LinkedIn, a lack of inappropriate photos on your Facebook account and some attractive business cards. If you’re a lost soul who has no clue what you want to be doing when you’re 45, this could mean anything. Be funny on Twitter. Write and share smart academic papers. Blog about your experiences with Habitat for Humanity. Put yourself out there. I do not claim to be a personal branding expert, but I have put enough time and energy into “the John Buysse brand” to tell you the days of strictly applying to internships online using plain résumés that understate your experiences and convey no personality are over. To put it in perspective, Apple makes innovative gadgets with awe-inspiring features, but if they did not effectively market these products to people in a smart way, we would all be running out to buy the Microsoft Surface. However, because they have turned their iconic products into an even more iconic brand, millions of us will be buying iPad Minis during the holiday season with the Surface likely to be ignored by the masses. Unless you like the thought of being that sad, pathetic gadget without an identity, you must sell yourself. Have your résumé critiqued. Practice your interview skills. Amp up your LinkedIn profile. Turn your social media activity into a useful, informative quilt of knowledge and personality. Leveraging your personal attributes and experiences to create a brand for yourself can mean the difference between a company snatching you off the shelf at full price or a less desirable employer begrudgingly grabbing you from the clearance bin.

Election predictions skew results DYLAN HOYER Opinions columnist
E
verybody wants to know things before they happen. The question of who will win the White House in 2012 is no exception, and it’s reaching fever pitch. The need to know is causing a frenzy of projections, predictions and punditry. We are very much concerned with who the winner of the election will be, not so much the loser. But at what point do these predictions become predispositions? When do we abandon the ideal candidate in favor of the presupposed winner? If you noticed, there were a lot of words with the “pre-” prefix. That’s because, as obvious as it sounds, the election hasn’t happened yet. Nobody knows who the winner will be, and any guess at this point, or even through most of Election Day, is just a guess. Unfortunately, sometimes the louder guesses drown out the legitimate options. Candidates like Libertarian Gary Johnson, the Green Party’s Jill Stein, and others with differing ideals from the prescribed “norm” are thrust to the sidelines in exchange for the latest polling data out of the key battleground state of Ohio. When we try to predict winners, we inevitably go through a process of elimination to reach what is the seemingly obvious
conclusion. The lesser-known candidates are ruled out almost immediately, and those without funding are taken out of the race even faster. This methodology takes out vital and existing voices that contribute to the health of the American polity. Too often we value the quantity of the candidate over the quality. We only see the candidates that media companies think are the relevant ones, and only concern ourselves with the direction of the two major parties. For too many, voting becomes an evaluation of campaigns instead of ideologies and faces instead of futures. Who can wear the mask better? At this point, the race for the White House is too close to call for any candidate. This unpredictability was also predicted long before Mitt Romney was even the GOP nominee. But regardless of who wins Ohio, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, there are still some key predictors for the next four years. Troops will continue to be stationed in Afghanistan and around the world, and don’t think incredibly wasteful spending will cease to exist if your man wins the White House. There will still be deficits to leave for those of us now growing up to take care of, and as long as there
are borders, there will be illegal aliens. The solutions that have been offered to the American public by one candidate to fix the problems of the past decade are still not working, and there is no real difference in the “solutions” offered by the other candidate. Over the next four years the problems will not be fixed, nor will their “solutions.” The observer effect in science means that the act of observing something changes what that something does. In elections, the observer effect can change the observer. We are being changed by our constant tuning into the latest election headlines. We allow our observations to be skewed by the lens of the very glasses that help us see. The media that introduces us to the candidates and predicts the winners also picks the winners. Take off the blinders for a minute. When we begin to get caught up in the game ourselves and adopt the role of pundit over electorate, we sacrifice our basic right as free men and women. We need more voices in our democracy so much more so than predictions. They are out there if you listen.
The media that introduces us to the candidates and predicts the winners, also picks the winners.

hough Hurricane Sandy hit nowhere close to the Tornado Alley, its tumultuous affects in the Northeast were made obvious via the thrash of Sandy-related news media, Facebook status updates, tweets and TV. In the past 48 hours, America was abuzz with footage of the reporters barely standing in 4-foot floods, drowned carousels and a blacked-out New York City. The city’s subway system looks like a scene from “Titanic,” and The Atlantic was in a frenzy to determine which images floating around the social media scene were authentic. But some of the most important stories surfacing from the sea of post-Sandy news are of the heroic efforts by just regular Joes. Except they’re not regular — they’re absolutely exceptional. I dedicate this column to the most uplifting news I’ve stumbled across in this Superstorm Sandy Super-wave:
The New York University Medical Center NICU nurses When the NYU Tisch Hospital’s backup generators failed and its basement started to flood quickly, the center’s officials knew they had to evacuate its patients and staff — ASAP. The hospital began transporting all 215 of its patients Monday evening to the Mount Sinai Hospi-
tal and others around the city, including its newest patients, the babies of the neonatal intensive care unit. The nurses who transported those babies did a vertical evacuation down nine flights of stairs and rode alongside the infants from start to finish, and all while manually pumping the babies’ lungs. The hospital transferred all patients to outside locations by midnight Monday.
Mayor of Newark, N.J. Leadership is a tricky role to play in times of circumstantial stress, but many of the region’s political leaders held out their duties fantastically. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made a lot of the right calls, such as mandating an evacuation of much of lower Manhattan. But the beacon of light in this storm was Mayor Cory Booker of Newark, N.J., who went out into his community himself to fend off danger from his people. Just to paint a picture of exactly what I mean: He drove around Newark, convincing people to move inside and transported homeless men and women to shelters. Booker kept his Twitter very active throughout the storm, constantly updating his followers about the storm’s movement throughout Newark and urging citizens to move indoors.
Power workers from all over the country In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, 750,000 New York City residents, 145,000 Canadian homes
and over 3 million people in New Jersey and Pennsylvania were left without power. Overall, the storm cut off power to over 8 million people, and the damages left in the aftermath are still being surveyed. Recovering from the structural damage to power lines will be a large undertaking, but in one of the truest shows of camaraderie, hundreds of power workers have come across the nation to aid in getting the Northeast back in shape. More than 500 workers from Alabama were mobilized and stationed in regions like Washington, D.C. and Virginia. Meanwhile, PG&E electric in California sent 150 workers to New York.

Great Lake surfing Chicago surfers take advantage of waves being at near record BY JASON KEYSER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Hundreds of miles from its turbulent center, superstorm Sandy’s outer bands were violent enough to rip up near-record high waves Tuesday on Lake Michigan, sending a community of avid surfers in Chicago into the cold, churning waters despite warnings from city officials. Wave heights out in the middle of the lake reached 20 feet, short of the 23-foot record set last year by a strong storm pushing down from Canada. The difference this time is the winds are from the edges of what had been a tropical storm, one vast enough to reach hundreds of miles inland. The enormous storm pummeled the East Coast, leaving

Sailor’s wife waits for news of husband after Bounty goes down in Atlantic Ocean THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Coast Guard used ships and airplanes to search the Atlantic on Tuesday for the captain of the sunken HMS Bounty as the sailor’s wife held on to a sliver of hope that he had survived the harrowing ordeal. The Coast Guard was also optimistic Robin Walbridge, 63, of St. Petersburg, Fla., could still be alive in his blazing red survival suit 90 miles off the North Carolina coast. Walbridge went overboard early Monday when the replica 18th-century sailing vessel, made famous in Holly-
wood adventure films, rolled over in 18-foot waves. Walbridge’s wife waited in their St. Petersburg home to hear any word, surrounded by friends and crying often. “He’s been in many storms. He’s been doing this a good portion of his life. He’s been in lots of hairy situations and he’s very familiar with the boat. Same boat for 17 years, he knows it like the back of his hand,” Claudia McCann told The Associated Press by telephone. The Coast Guard rescued 14 crew members of the Bounty by helicopter Monday. Hours later, they found crew member Claudene Christian, 42, unre-
sponsive. She was later declared dead. The rest of the crew was in good condition. Walbridge’s wife last heard from him on Saturday when he sent her an email. He told her not to worry about the hurricane. By Monday morning, the vessel had started taking on water, its engines failed and the crew of the stately craft had to abandon ship as it went down in the immense waves. By the time the fi rst rescue helicopter arrived, all that was visible of the ship was a strobe light atop the mighty vessel’s submerged masts. The roiling Atlantic Ocean had claimed the rest.
Program created for Great Lakes cleanup research Mich. founds program to ensure decisions based in solid science BY JOHN FLESHER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Shortly after P resident Barack Obama took office in 2009, his administration kicked off the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to begin solving problems that experts said were seriously degrading the system containing nearly one-fi fth of the world’s surface fresh water.

such as zebra and quagga mussels, toxic pollution, runoff that causes harmful algae blooms, and shrinking wildlife habitat. Congress has appropriated more than $1 billion toward the initiative’s fi rst three years, and funding has already been approved for about 700 projects, including efforts to prevent Asian carp, an aggressive invasive species, from reaching the lakes and starving out native fi sh. The program has drawn praise from environmental groups, state officials and others who have long warned the Great Lakes are in danger of becoming ecological wastelands. But some of the region’s leading researchers say it should have a stronger scientific foundation to make sure it produces longterm, system-wide solutions, not just temporary fi xes in particular locations.
That will be the primary goal of the new University of Michigan Water Center during its initial three-year phase, when it will be supported by grants of $4.5 million each from the university and the Frederick A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation . “With budget cuts everywhere, we have to be able to show this money is being wellspent,” said Allen Burton, director of the new program, who also runs the university’s Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecological Research . Supporters say a sustained effort over many years is needed to repair more than a century of abuse and neglect. Obama has asked Congress for an additional $300 million for the next fi scal year. Strong scientific backing will be crucial to keep the money coming, Burton said.

Gradual running plan is essential Step-by-step approach avoids injury BY CHRISTEN MCGLYNN STAFF WRITER
A brisk day rolls around with the sun shining and the road awaiting. A typical runner reaches for his or her gym shoes and heads out on a casual run; however, this routine run may cause harm with poor practice. W hile studies have shown that there are negative effects associated with running, Jeffrey A. Woods, professor in kinesiology and community health, argued that running is usually more beneficial than harmful to one’s health. However, he said a person’s lifestyle plays a role in running injuries, whether they are sedentary or extremely active. According to Livestrong, the most common defect of running is joint pain, which is caused by repeated motion and impact to the joints. This impact could eventually lead to their wear and tear. Moira Gilroy, sophomore in DGS and current member of the Fighting Illini Triathlon team, said when one is involved in intense training, changing his or her normal weekly exercise routine is essential. This helps to avoid intense impact or stress on the same joints and muscles. “I try to change up my exercise routine each day in order to maintain a balance, so I do not overwork myself or cause any injuries,” she said. Woods said there is no particular harm to a runner’s joints or body if they keep a consistent duration and intensity. However, if they choose to drastically alter their typical routine, there could be potential negative side effects. “Anything extreme could be problematic for someone not accustomed to it or in a harsh environment,” Woods said. While environment can play a large role on the impact of joints, Woods that joints often can withstand high impact exercises. However, he said as people age, their joints become more susceptible to exercise-induced damage. Runners may also find that
PA I N F U L , BORDERLINE PSYCHOTIC CrossFit strays away from typical cardio, weight workouts BY KAYLA BURNS

STAFF WRITER
ocally and internationally, CrossFit has become a trending fitness routine that strays from the typical cardio and weights. Originally founded in 2000, CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program practiced by groups ranging from the everyday athlete to military special operations units. This internationally recognized fitness routine is offered at Champaign’s own CrossFit CU. Owned by Sky Sanborn, CrossFit CU is located at 305 Tiffany Ct, #3 — about a 12-minute drive from the Illini Union.
CrossFit CU started out as a few guys practicing the workout in the basement of First Christian Church three years ago, and has grown into a gym that sees between 50 and 80 members on any given day, according to Brandon Lovett, the current head coach. CrossFit CU provides CrossFit training programs tailored to all skill levels, Lovett explained. “There are no restrictions, and the workouts are infinitively scalable to allow anyone who wants to perform the workouts to do so,” he said. Ashleigh Orton, an athlete who trains at CrossFit CU, was featured in CrossFit CU’s Athlete Spotlight series . “It’s constantly one of the most frustrating and exhilarating aspects of my life — it can be painful and borderline psychotic,” she said in the Athlete Spotlight series. “It makes me push boundaries that
I didn’t even know I had set ... and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Lovett said that CrossFit workouts are run similar to a sports team. CrossFit CU views instructors as coaches instead of personal trainers to ensure that participants move safely, efficiently and effectively through their workouts, he said. CrossFit workouts are short and intense, and each day features a different routine, called a Workout Of The Day, or WOD. Lovett referred to WODs as “the main event or game” of the training session and they are posted on the website the night before. The gym’s group workout sessions last one hour, and include a warm-up and cool-down before and after the WOD. Saturday’s Team Workout Of the Day lasts an hour and 15 minutes. Bryon Maxwell, coach of Core CrossFit in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, said he participates in

CrossFit athletes gather to compete in the Games every summer. After the first set of challenges in the 17 global regions, the top 60 men and women of each regions move on to the next round. “At regionals, the top three from the 17 regions move on to the final round,” he said. “Finally, there is one female and one male victor who win a quarter of a million dollars cash.” Those interested in joining CrossFit CU can make an appointment by phone or email and receive a free intro session and workout to see if they like the program. From there, they can decide if they want to make what CrossFit CU calls an “Athlete Investment.” Participants can choose from a variety of packages and prices, ranging from a once-aweek membership to an unlimited
membership. Some memberships include one-month unlimited sessions for $125 per month, and one-month three sessions per week for $110 per month. Discounts are offered for households and fire department, military and law enforcement officials. CrossFit CU is open six days a week, with eight sessions available on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and seven sessions on Fridays. Wednesdays are CrossFit CU’s open gym day. They hold a two-hour session in the morning and three-hour session in the evening. Saturday’s Team WODs are held in the morning. Whether one wants to try out a new type of workout or work toward becoming a better athlete, CrossFit is an activity open for all individuals.

Illini women’s basketball routes Marian in 1st season exhibition BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
In its fi rst exhibition of the season and fi rst competition under head coach Matt Bollant, the Illinois women’s basketball team jumped out to a quick lead behind junior Amber Moore’s 3-pointer 40 seconds into the game and never looked back. The Illini cruised to an 89-37 victory over the NAIA Marian Knights in front of 1,145 at Assembly Hall. Marian was overwhelmed from the tip-off, falling behind 9-0 in the fi rst two and a half minutes on its way to a 45-15 halftime deficit. The Knights fi nished with more turnovers (40) than both points (37) and rebounds (37). Marian had no answer for Illinois’ 6-foot-2 center Karisma Penn, who scored 24 points and grabbed 16 rebounds to go along with seven steals. Penn and Illinois’ only main struggle in the 52-point victory was shooting. The Illini shot 39 percent for the game, but only 25 percent on 3-pointers and 64 percent on free throws. Penn also struggled with shooting, going 8-for-20 from the field and 7-for-13 on free throws. “I missed a lot of shots inside, so I’m not happy about that,” Penn said. Bollant said that other than the low shooting percentage, he was happy with his team’s performance. “If you shoot 39 free throws, free throw shooting is going to be really important to your team,” Bollant said. “Obviously, it’s something that we’re going to have to work on and take pride in.”
Sophomore Alexis Smith looked comfortable in her new role as starting point guard. She recorded 19 points, five assists and four steals, and went to the bench to a standing ovation with four minutes left in the game. “(Going into the season), we thought we had a really good point guard and a really good five, and, tonight, we saw defi nitely saw that,” Bollant said. Penn and Smith were joined by fellow starters Moore, Ivory Crawford and Kersten Magrum. Freshman McKenzie Piper and sophomore Taylor Tuck rounded out the seven-player rotation for Illinois’ depth-stricken squad. The Illini only dressed eight players for the exhibition. “We don’t have a great deal of depth the fi rst semester, but what we have is what we have, so we’ve got to take advantage of that,” Bollant said. “Thankfully, the kids we have are really talented and really got a lot of heart.” Sophomore Nia Oden was out for the game with a hurt shoulder, but Bollant said he expects her to be back for Illinois’ second exhibition game on Tuesday against Concordia University Chicago. Senior Adrienne GodBold is academically ineligible for the fall semester, and sophomore Kierra Morris is out for 12 weeks with a broken foot. Sophomore transfer Sarah Hartwell must sit out the 2012-13 season. Cassie Dumoulin recorded seven minutes for the Illini, but did not play until the 6:54 mark of the second half when the Illini had built a 43-point lead.

aces of any kind carry with them a type of pressure. In swimming, the sound of the start sends competitors into the water to complete their laps and outtouch the others.

to win 3-2 in overtime, their first win against a ranked team this season. “It certainly had an impact in terms of postseason opportunities and how a committee might look at us, but I think, more importantly, it had an impact in terms of our confidence heading into the Big Ten Tournament,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “Scoring three goals against a really good team on the road certainly helps us in terms of going into this tournament with some confidence.” Even though the Illini have heated up recently, they know that they cannot overlook Minnesota, especially after the Gophers’ strong showing earlier this year. “They’re physically tough and they’re an athletic team,” Rayfield said. “They’re pacey in the back, and they’ve got some players that can really threaten to get behind (the defense). ... We’ve got to try to keep the ball and keep it from being a track race up and down the field.” Illinois thinks its adjustments
after the previous matchup will make it look like a different team Wednesday morning. The Illini were without freshman forward Nicole Breece and senior forward Shayla Mutz at the time, and they have changed their formation. Rayfield said those changes, mixed with their recent confidence, will be a difference maker. The Illini did not want to look too far past the first round, but they could ultimately be playing three games in only five days. It is something that Rayfield has expressed concern about, even after the experience they have from last season’s conference tournament. “I don’t know (if we are ready in regards to conditioning), we went into last year saying we can win one game, and then we’ll take care of the next one,” Rayfield said. “I think we’ve worked a lot on recovery and what it takes to be ready to go again, so we’ll go after this first game and then worry about the next one.”

Illini coaches share experiences with Ohio State’s Urban Meyer BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER
When Illinois and Ohio State meet at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, the teams will battle for the Illibuck, a wooden turtle meant to represent a once-live turtle. But the matchup will mean so much more for two head coaches who have known each other for nearly 30 years. Illinois’ Tim Beckman and Ohio State’s Urban Meyer will be on opposite sidelines for the fi rst time since January 2007, but their history goes back much further. After graduating from Berea High School, in Berea, Ohio, in 1983 , Beckman attended Kentucky for one year. One of Beckman’s close friends at Berea was Bill Davis, whose father was the vice president of player personnel for the nearby Cleveland Browns. Davis played football at Cincinnati after graduation. When the two friends
parted for separate schools, Davis found himself rooming with an aspiring football player coming off of two unsuccessful years in minor league baseball. His name was Urban Meyer. Beckman met Meyer through Davis, who is now the linebackers coach for the Browns and says he considers Meyer one of his good friends. “That’s where we fi rst met,” Beckman said. “Through that, the relationship built. When Urban became a graduate assistant at Ohio State, I was a graduate assistant at Auburn. We used to meet at coaches conventions and stuff like that.” Although they remained close friends throughout the years, Beckman and Meyer never coached on the same staff until 2001, when Meyer accepted the head position at Bowling Green. Beckman had been at Bowling Green as the defensive coordina-
tor since 1998, and he remained on the staff when Meyer took over. Meyer also brought wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales to Bowling Green. Gonzales was a wide receiver at Colorado State in the early 1990s, when Meyer was his wide receivers coach. Gonzales would coach under Meyer’s tutelage for nine years before leaving for LSU after the 2009 season and eventually being named co-offensive coordinator under Beckman at Illinois. In two years at Bowling Green, Meyer won 17 games and achieved a national ranking in his second season. After the 2002 season, Meyer left for Utah. Beckman said he had an opportunity to follow Meyer to Utah, but with a recent death in the family, he did not want to move his wife across the country.
In the years since they last coached on the same sideline, Meyer’s career has skyrocketed. His resume includes a 11323 record, an undefeated season at Utah and two BCS national championships with Florida. In his fi rst year in Columbus, Ohio, his Buckeyes have started out 9-0 with a No. 6 ranking. “I think he’s extremely disciplined, he’s extremely motivated,” Gonzales said. “He was a psychology major, one of the things he always does is, he does a darn good job of getting into the heads of the players that he’s coaching.” After six years with Bowling Green, Beckman left to become the cornerbacks coach at Ohio State. He remained in Columbus for two seasons, including 2006, when the Buckeyes met Meyer’s Gators in the BCS national championship. “We had met defensively with
them that summer,” Beckman said. “Myself and coach (Luke) Fickell went down and met with coach (Greg) Mattison and their defensive staff. It was kind of ironic that we played them in the national championship game (later that year).” Beckman said he often talked with Meyer and his staff about how to improve their respective programs. The Gators handled the Buckeyes 41-14 in the 2007 title game. Gonzales said the Gators knew they weren’t going to get many big plays against Beckman’s cornerbacks. “If you take a look at the game, there were a couple of plays that we made, but we never really threw the ball deep,” Gonzales said. “It was a game that we had to control from a dink and a dunk type of situation.” After the 2010 season, Meyer took a leave of absence from coaching. He became an ana-
lyst for ESPN and devoted more time to his family. But Gonzales knew it wasn’t the end of Meyer’s coaching career. Having played under Meyer at Colorado State, Gonzales knows the family well. He has pictures of himself holding Meyer’s oldest child, Nikki (who now plays volleyball at Georgia Tech), when she was a baby. He says he only talked to Meyer a few times last year. “His daughters and his son mean the world to him,” Gonzales said. “I think that you take a look at what he tried to do is get out and see Gigi, Nikki and Nate, get out and get a chance to see what he’s missed over the last 15 to 20 years of their lives, trying to scramble and put everything back into one year. It doesn’t make up for everything, but I tell you what, it sure

Cohesion, 6 wins are musts to get volleyball to postseason BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER
Illinois volleyball needs six victories. Six more victories will make Illinois eligible for the NCAA tournament. From there, head coach Kevin Hambly will be looking at the season the same way he always does: a quest for a title. But for now, six victories, in fact, one victory — Wednesday night at home against Purdue — is a good place to start. Earlier in the season, the Illini went to West Lafayette, Ind., and played Purdue to a dead even five sets. The teams each scored 97 points, but when broken down into sets, Purdue got the three set victories and the W on its record. It was a game in which Illinois had a better hitting percentage than the Boilermakers, and one
Hambly has said he felt his team should have won, but he acknowledged that it doesn’t matter now. Now, the unfortunate reality for the Illini is that if they win five of their final eight games, their season ends early. And for Hambly’s squad, the manner in which that desperation is handled could not be more crucial. “We’ve been talking a lot about just embracing the challenge. We’re in a position now that we can do something no one else has done before as far as this program,” Liz McMahon said in reference to winning a national championship following the Illini’s start this season. “Change it now so that we can make a run in the tournament that no one has done before. I think it’s really special. Like, you can’t be afraid
of that.” Early in the first set of last weekend’s match against Wisconsin, Hambly benched Jocelynn Birks. After Illinois won that set, Hambly brought her back early in the next frame. He said he was sending a message to try to quell her lack of effort. “It just wasn’t the standard that we wanna play with, especially in a match that big,” he said. The message has been received by the Illini, who understand where a lack of effort will get them. McMahon said she expects the changes in the lineup to continue. “We’ve kinda been doing that in practice, like if he thinks you’re not giving the effort, you’re out,” she said. “You don’t get second chances anymore,

This puts Luhrsen in the position of choosing between being herself and acquiescing to the team’s intensity level. “I think that’s a balance that I’ve been trying to find since high school,” she said. “You do have to dial it down and key in to what your team needs at the time, but you also have to be yourself because you don’t wanna be fake out on the court. ...

BIG 10 OF THE BIG TEN
Cornhuskers win 6th game, are now bowl eligible BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: Big 10 of the Big Ten is a collection of tidbits from around the conference. This weekly feature provides a recap from the previous slate of games and also serves as a preview to the upcoming football weekend.
Crowded legends Through 10 weeks, the Legends Division race is tight with Michigan and Nebraska tied for first and Northwestern one game behind both. Neither Iowa nor Michigan State is far behind, with the Hawkeyes just a half game behind the Wildcats and the Spartans, trailing Northwestern by one.
Bowling With a 23-9 win over Michigan last weekend, Nebraska is now the latest bowl-eligible team in the conference, joining Wisconsin, Ohio State and Northwestern as the Big Ten squads with at least six victories, although the undefeated Buckeyes are bowl ineligible.
after featuring enticing matchups, the Big Ten schedule is lacking punch and excitement for Week 10. Northwestern and Wisconsin are on a bye, and the spotlight will fall on the No. 21-ranked Cornhuskers, as they try to maintain their lead in the Legends Division by setting the Spartans back another game.
Game to keep an eye on With the lack of marquee matchups, Iowa at Indiana is worth a look. Both teams are fighting to stay relevant in their divisions. The Hoosiers are the closest to catching Wisconsin in the Leaders Division, and the Hawkeyes are a game and a half out of first in the Legends Division.
Best offensive performance Kain Colter scored four touchdowns in Northwestern’s 28-17 win over Iowa last weekend. The Wildcats quarterback rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns and passed for 80 yards and another touchdown.
Worst of the bunch
Best defensive performance
Illinois and Purdue dropped contests against Indiana and Minnesota, respectively, to remain the only teams still searching for a Big Ten victory. Both the Boilermakers and the Illini reached bowl games last season but have stumbled mightily in 2012.
Michael Carter returned an interception for a touchdown en route to Minnesota’s 44-28 victory over Purdue. The senior defensive back also broke up six passes and recorded six tackles.

It wasn’t that she didn’t think she could, but rather that her 15-year-old self wanted to get out of the state and go somewhere far away from her hometown of Homer Glen, Ill. “(Now) I’m so glad I stayed only two hours away,” Pope said. “I love seeing my parents at all of my meets and my brother and sister.” John and Kelli are at every meet. The two-hour drive to the home meets is one thing, but they have even made the long drives to meets in Kansas and Georgia.

The Wolverines hold a 67-22-3 lead in the series with the Golden Gophers and will look to take home the Little Brown Jug trophy a 68th time. The Buckeyes are 60-23-2 against the Illini with the Illibuck in play for Saturday.

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B as heck helped revive him.” Beckman talked to Meyer often last yea while Meyer was away from coaching. When they spoke, Beckman said Meyer critiqued his Toledo football team’s play, but their conversations weren’t limited to football. Beckman speaks highly of Meyer as a father. He said every football coach understands what Meyer was struggling with when he temporaily left the game.
“I think that every football coach goes through that,” Beckman said. “It’s tough when I’ve only seen my son play one high school football game this year.” Saturday’s matchup will be the first time Beckman, Meyer and Gonzales all meet on the same field since the 2007 BCS title game. Once again, they will be battling for the same trophy, only this time it is a wooden turtle.

Women’s golf finishes last in Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invite BY ALEX ORTIZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Illinois women’s golf team finished its fall season Tuesday at the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational in Austin, Texas, with a last-place finish against a tough 15-team field that included 10 ranked teams. The Illini finished with a team score of 927 in three rounds that were played over three days on the 6,344-yard course. Day three’s score of 298 was its best singleround performance this year. While the team’s overall numbers were not stellar, the final round helped Illinois end on its best note of the fall season, which gives head coach Renee Slone hope for progress. “It was great to end our golf season with our best round of golf,” Slone said. “It’s something we can build off of.” The team’s best individual performer was sophomore Pimploy Thirati, who finished tied for 37th with a total score of 21-over-par
225. Her best round of the tournament, and of her career, came in the third round with a 1-underpar 72. She also tallied four birdies during the round. “To be honest, I’ve been working hard, and what I’ve been doing is finally paying off,” Thirati said. “I’m really excited for the team as well.” The Thailand native has put a lot into improving as she continues to live out her dream of playing for Illinois. Slone said she has definitely noticed Thirati’s success and how the sophomore has managed to put it all together. “That was her career-best tournament for us,” Slone said. “It’s very exciting to see the progress that she is making. She’s really playing some smart golf and has a better mentality and understanding of what she needs to do to play solid golf.” Junior Ember Schuldt tied for 50th with 216. Former Longhorn and current Illinois sophomore Samantha Postillion shot a 220,
tying for 60th overall. Sophomores Jacqueline Calamaro and Michelle Mayer placed 77th and 79th, respectively, with scores of 245 and 250. As their focus shifts toward the winter, the Illini will be working to improve for their spring season. Because practicing as a team will be limited, Slone and assistant coach Jackie Szymoniak want their athletes to work on strength and conditioning. The short game also will be emphasized, as the players can utilize their indoor facilities on an individual basis. Even though the next competition isn’t until early February, the Illini will try keep some momentum rolling. “I think as a whole it was definitely a good note to finish the fall season on,” Szymoniak said. “I think that there’s a lot of positives that we can carry into the offseason.”

FANTASY DOCTOR
A wide receiver by any other name would not play as sweet JACK CASSIDY Fantasy doctor
H
ave some fun with the waiver wire this week. The traditional pattern of thinking always leads owners to add players coming off a big week and players heading into a favorable matchup. And that strategy works early on. It’s how you find the hidden gems of Stevan Ridley and Alfred Morris. It’s how you snag the surprising rookies. It’s how you build a championship-caliber roster. The waiver wire is valuable, and no one is questioning that. But at this point, the free agents have gotten a bit stale. The game breakers are gone. The stars are taken. If you desperately need a player because of bye weeks, injuries or some other reason, then you desperately need to change your approach. That’s why this week’s waiver recommendations will not come from statistics. They’ll come from the heart. And there is only one player worth getting. I’ve wanted to recommend this player for weeks now, but conven-
tional waiver wire thinking has held me back. I told myself, “No, he’s too inconsistent,” or, “No, he’s on a terrible team with a terrible quarterback. Don’t be a fool.” Any time I came close, I talked myself out of it. But not this week. I’m doing it. And I’m confident the injection of mojo this player brings to your team will lead you right to the top. Don’t doubt it. Fantasy football hardly ever makes sense anyway. So, who is this game changer? Cecil Shorts III (wide receiver, Jaguars, 3.4 percent owned in ESPN leagues) — Yes, it’s based solely on his name. Shorts has the best birth certificate in football, and it’s not even close. Seriously. Every time I see his name in a box score, I smile. Cecil. Shorts. The third. His first name peaked in 1902 and is less popular in 2012 than the name Atticus. His last name is clothing you wear on your legs. And he’s the third one in a long line of Cecil Shorts! We should consider ourselves lucky if we had the privilege of seeing a name like that on our roster. If available, pick up Atticus Pants III and enjoy the gift you’ve been given.
Jack is a senior in LAS. He can be reached at sports@dailyillini.com. Follow him on Twitter @JCassidy10.

New England Patriots running back Stevan Ridley, right, runs Sunday in a game played in London, England. The Patriots defeated the Rams 45-7. Stevan Ridley is a solid choice for statistically-minded fantasy owners.
