UI considers opening new office in China

The University administration is considering a proposal to establish its fi rst office abroad in China.

China holds significance for the University because of its rapidly developing higher education and research sectors, said Wolfgang F. Schlör, interim associate provost for international affairs and interim director of international programs and studies. The large number of Chinese students and alumni working in China adds to the importance of the relationship.

“Today we have more international students from China than any other country,” said Associate Chancellor Pradeep Khanna in an email . “We also have a large number of faculty and researchers who are from China.”

Chancellor Phyllis Wise has been attending international collaboration conferences throughout the past year, including a visit to Zhejiang University in China for the 2012 Symposium on Building of World-Class Universities in October and Chicago Global University Summit in Chicago in April.

“The chancellor ... has been very active in connecting with leaders from the strongest Chinese universities,” Schlör said.

While the University proposal involves the construction of a physical facility, the purpose of the office would not be to teach courses and offer degrees as with University branches abroad, Schlör said. Instead, the University seeks to develop a small office to “facilitate connections with academic and government institutions, corporations and alumni,” Schlör said.

Schlör said an office in China would enable the exchange of student talent and equipment and laboratory access

previously exclusive to either party. The partnership will also provide more opportunities for research funding, he said.

The overall increase in resources between both parties would “enhance interdisciplinary research, and lead to the creation of knowledge and technologies that might not happen otherwise,” Khanna said in the email.

Khanna said there is a greater demand for collaborative efforts in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The fi elds of agriculture and media may also gain from the University’s efforts toward further developing international collaboration, Schlör said.

For University students, an international office could mean greater access to professional experiences, including internships, jobs and studyabroad opportunities.

“The kind of networking that can be done out of this office will make it easier to identify internship opportunities with companies and agencies in China,” Schlör said.

University President Robert Easter said in an email that these types of opportunities will help students better prepare for a global work environment.

“In view of the importance of that nation (China) in world business, trade and culture,

Students from Robeson Elementary School join members of the Homebrew Ukulele Union, a University group that makes and plays its own ukuleles, for a sing-along at the Champaign-Urbana Folk and Roots Festival. The event was held at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center on Saturday.

Folk and Roots a musical medley Attendees of all ages listen to, learn about and lay down music

BY MADDIE REHAYEM STAFF WRITER

When the Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra took the stage at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, the audience was seated and listening attentively. However, as the bearded and dreadlocked members of the band played their gypsy-folk music, more and more of the concert-goers were possessed to abandon their chairs and stomp along.

This performance marked the ending of

the Champaign-Urbana Folk and Roots Festival, which was held Friday and Saturday in downtown Urbana. Folk music enthusiasts had the chance to perform, jam, dance and see international acts.

From a “Blues Harmonica 101” session to contra dances, attendees could choose from a broad spectrum of folk- and roots-related events in which to participate.

“We make sure that during the day on Saturday there are all sorts of jam sessions going on,“ said Matt Winters, who coordinates bookings for the festival. “The local musicians love to come out and play and be a part of things.”

Some of the sessions incorporated performances by professional musicians. Those performances included a program about the British Columbian gypsy-folk band Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra’s songwriting process, a Jimmie Rodgers-style yodeling work-

RSO’s 5K fights cancer

DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Champaign police officers arrested two men early Sunday morning after responding to a report that a gun had been fired at a campus-area apartment.

According to a press release from the Champaign Police, officers were dispatched to 109 E. Green St. at about 1:40 a.m. on reports that an armed subject had just fired a gun at his roommate. The roommate, a 22-year-old male, said he came home from a bar and engaged in a physical altercation with his roommate, police said. During the altercation, a knife was displayed by one of the men, and a shot was fired at the victim through his bedroom door.

According to the police, the victim left the apartment uninjured and notified a passer-by, who contacted the police.

When police arrived, they were informed that the armed subject may still be in the apartment. Before searching the apartment, police evacuated the building and one nearby building.

The SWAT team was called to the scene to assist and search the building. Police repeatedly attempted to gain access to the suspect’s apartment and used a

Red and blue fl ags with supportive messages blew in the wind, decorating the entrance of the University of Illinois Arboretum on Sunday morning, where Colleges Against Cancer held its fi rst ever charity 5K. The registered student organization hosted the “Run Hard.

Breathe Easy” 5K to gather community members together in support of cancer patients.

The race started and ended at the entrance of the arboretum and went around the area twice. All the money raised at the event will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

Kaitlyn Kestel , vice president of Colleges Against Cancer, said the RSO chose the month November for the event date to coincide with lung cancer awareness month.

shop and a workshop by country folk artist Robbie Fulks that invited festival-goers to learn fiddle tunes for the guitar. The workshops and performances covered a wide variety of folk and roots music.

Jeff Arrigo, Champaign resident, attended Fulks’ Saturday workshop and also performed at The Iron Post earlier that day.

Arrigo attended events that covered a wide range of genres relating to folk and roots.

“We saw rockabilly, then we saw Dixieland jazz, and then we saw ... kind of oldtimey mountain folk, and then we saw Robbie Fulks,” he said. “Those are four completely different styles of music.”

Many events focused on the idea of community music. Some of the youngest participants in the festival performed in the “Homebrew Ukulele Union Singalong.” Matthew

She also said a lot of people don’t have the heightened awareness of lung cancer like they have of breast cancer, but they are both very important.

By organizing the race, Colleges Against Cancer wants to educate people about lung cancer and the harmful effects of smoking.

Colleges Against Cancer, said the 5K contributed to fi ghting cancer across the country because the charity benefitted the American Cancer Society. “(American Cancer Society) does so much work for cancer in general, whether that would be lung cancer, or cancer research or helping patients who already have cancer,” Small said. “Any little thing we can do to help that is amazing.”

robot to locate the suspect. The suspect, Daniel J. Chang, 22, of Naperville, Ill., was found sleeping inside, as were a male and female who were not involved in the incident.

Shortly afterwards, police recovered the knife and a gun in the apartment.

Chang was arrested on the charges of unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated discharge of a firearm. He was transported to Champaign County Jail.

During an interview with police, the intoxicated victim became agitated and ripped up flooring and seating inside the back seat of a squad car, where the interview took place.

The victim was arrested on the charge of criminal damage to property and transported to Champaign County Jail.

University students were sent an Illini-Alert at approximately 3:30 a.m. that indicated police were on scene for a possible hostage situation and to avoid the area. A second Illini-Alert, sent about one hour later, clarified that it wasn’t a hostage situation.

A final Illini-Alert, sent at about 6 a.m., alerted students that the situation was resolved and it was safe to return to the area.

FOLK & ROOTS FROM PAGE 1A Thibeault, assistant professor of music education at the University, had his students teach Robeson Elementary School students how to play the ukulele.

Led by Thibeault, they invited everyone in the room to sing along to popular music as well as traditional folk songs.

“Making music together is very special — singing and having no distinction between the audience and the performers,” Thibeault said. “Everyone’s a potential participant.”

Thibeault, who created the Homebrew Ukulele Union, allows participants to play ukulele and participate in a community musical experience.

“We want these students not just to make music with each other, but it’s really important that they put it in a community context,” he said.

“Our success comes from getting other people to participate.”

Winters said people often come to the festival for one act but end up seeing and learning much more.

“You can go between the different venues and just get to see a lot of great music,” he said. “You don’t know where the special moments are going to come.”

ZBT hosts 6th annual autism fundraiser UI faternity helps, supports autism

BY GARRETT WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

The Zeta Beta Tau fraternity partnered with Illini Chabad and The Friendship Circle on Sunday to host the sixth annual Alley Oop for Autism fundraiser for children with special needs.

Zeta Beta Tau, or ZBT, started hosting Alley Oop for Autism five years ago as a charity basketball event for children with autism. It is ZBT’s biggest philanthropy event of the year, with all of its members participating, as well as several sororities. This year, the event featured a handball tournament, arts and crafts and lunch for the participants.

Tyler Spitz, president of ZBT and junior in Business, said the brothers changed the game because handball would be easier for the kids to play.

Neeraj Varyani, philanthropy chair for ZBT and junior in ACES, was one of the event organizers.

“We bring down kids from all over Illinois with special needs and we show them a fun time,” he said. “We get them to participate in a tournament, we get them

to interact with the brothers of our house...We want to take them around the University of Illinois and just show them a good time.”

The organizers of the event, including Rabbi Dovid Tiechtel, director of Illini Chabad, were proud of how the philanthropy event closed the distance between the fraternity brothers and the people they wanted to help.

“Here we’re actually working with the kids hands-on, and it’s not just about sending support,” Tiechtel said. “It’s about being a part of it and helping the kids as well.”

Rachel Whiteman , of East Lynn, Ill., attended the event for the second year in the row. Whiteman’s twin sons, Rylan and Alex, were born twelve weeks premature. Whiteman said Alex is undiagnosed, but is on the high end of the spectrum for Asperger’s Syndrome. Rylan, who designed this year’s t-shirt for the event, has cerebral palsy.

“It’s a fun day for them to have all of the attention on them,” she said, “We’ve had this on our calendar since last year. We didn’t know what day it was going to be, but we knew it was coming up, and they’ve just been counting down the days. They love coming.”

SARI LESK THE DAILY ILLINI

Rylan Whiteman, a 10-year-old from East Lynn, Ill., challenges an opponent in rock-paper-scissors to begin a game of hand ball at Ally Oop for Autism, held Sunday at the Activities and Recreation Center.

Andrew Gibson, the executive vice president of ZBT and junior in LAS, was one of the fraternity members on hand to help with the kids.

“I hope that everyone has a good time, especially the kids that are here,” he said. “I hope that they’re able to make a few new friends and feel more confi-

dent about themselves at the end of the day.”

Many unaware of Amendment 49 on ballot State retiree, employee benefits affected by section

BY BAILEY BRYANT STAFF WRITER

Katie Magnuson , junior in LAS, admitted to knowing only one thing listed on this November’s voting ballot: the presidential candidates.

Magnuson said the media has done a poor job of informing her on the issues she’d be voting for.

Informed or not, when casting their votes this November, Illinois residents will have the chance to alter their state’s constitution.

A new section to the Illinois Constitution, Amendment 49, is being proposed. The passing of this amendment could affect the benefits of retirees and those employed by the state, such as teachers and police officers.

Like Magnuson, many people, especially college students, are unaware of less publicized

issues on the voting ballot.

John Kindt, professor emeritus of business administration, stressed the importance of voters being educated. “(Uninformed voters) are doing a disservice to themselves and to their families and to their own futures as well as the future of this state and country,” Kindt said. “It’s in their own best interest to vote intelligently and to be educated and informed on the issues.”

The proposed amendment asks that a three-fi fths vote be required to increase the pensions of state employees.

Currently, a simple majority vote is required. Therefore, if the proposal goes through, i ncre ases i n he a lth or retirement benefi ts may be harder to receive.

Amendment 49 has fueled heated debates, as supporters and critics are equally as adamant.

Those in favor of the addition argue that this plan will provide a tax break to the general public and help the struggling

retirement fund, according to the proposal for the amendment.

“Amendment 49 is just another step in what has been and what will continue to be a long road in keeping the pension system sustainable,” said Steve Brown, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Illinois.

Brown added that if it were harder to increase pensions, more funding could go toward all other services that the law requires the state pay. He said those who criticize the amendment either do not really understand the purpose for the amendment or want to oppose this change “in the hope that somebody waves a magic wand and 20 or 30 years from now, somehow pension payments are still made.”

Among the supporters of Amendment 49 is the NewsGazette. The paper’s opinions editor, Jim Dey, said University students should vote “yes” for the amendment’s passage “if they care for the overall fi nancial health of the state.”

Those against the amendment

feel that it will hinder negotiations between employers and employees. One concern is that the best candidates might be hesitant to apply to government positions because of the employers’ inability to offer the most appealing benefits.

Kindt said this amendment takes advantage of Illinois residents and “overrules and destroys the Illinois C onstit utiona l protection against eliminating or reducing earned benefits.”

Amendment 49 is not the answer to Illinois’ fi nancial problems, according to John Bambenek , Illinois State Senate candidate.

“The problem exists because the officials in Springfield have mismanaged the pension system, and that’s the reason revenue isn’t going to the places it’s needed,” Bambenek said.

Another issue critics have with Amendment 49 is its lengthy and confusing format.

Bambenek is even filing a lawsuit on the grounds that the

wording of the amendment is “deceptive, inaccurrate and incomprehensible.”

The amendment is also not written on the ballot. Instead, voters can fi nd a one-sentence summary.

“How do people know what they’re voting on if it’s not on the ballot? You have to play hide and seek to even fi nd the amendment,” Kindt said.

Among the opposition to Amendment 49 is the Chicago Tribune, which suggests that while a pension reform is necessary, this one is confusing, unfair and ultimately ineffective.

After learning of Amendment 49, Magnuson, a future teacher, said she wants to encourage people, especially those voting for the fi rst time this November, to become more informed about the issues listed on the ballot.

These fi rst-time voters will now feel the consequences of the decisions.

Obama’s home state prepares for Election Day

Parties reach out to voters via phone

BY SARA BURNETT AND SOPHIA TAREEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — From knocking on doors to making phone calls to arranging for Election Day transportation, energized advocates, party loyalists and candidates in Illinois ramped up their efforts over the weekend.

Tuesday’s election in President Barack Obama’s home state features seven closely watched U.S. House races and a matchup that will determine if an indicted former state lawmaker can return to Springfield.

One hotly contested suburban matchup features between tea party U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh and Democratic Iraq war veteran Tammy Duckworth.

“We’re all nervous about the future of our country,” said Jae Choi Kim, the president of the Asian American Action Fund of

“You can do laundry, cook dinner and take back your country at the same time,” she joked.

Election Day sentiments were common in churches. The Rev. Michael Pfleger reminded parishioners Sunday at his large Catholic church in Chicago to vote and said the church would provide free transportation to the polls.

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the state’s largest immigrant advocacy group, contacted nearly 160,000 voters during the 13-day early voting period and planned rallies and canvassing through Tuesday.

Superstorm Sandy turns charming communities into ghost towns

BY JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JESSICA HILL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

People stand next to a house collapsed from Superstorm Sandy in East Haven, Conn., on Tuesday. Some of the wealthiest towns in America struggle with one of the most severe storms in generations.

WESTPORT, Conn. — The floodwaters churned by Superstorm Sandy damaged waterfront homes along Connecticut’s southwest coast, and turned the charming center of tony Westport into a ghost town, with sandbags lining streets of flooded-out boutique shops.

A fire at the height of last week’s storm destroyed three Greenwich mansions, and hundreds of Fairfield homeowners waited days for water to recede so they could return to their homes.

While Connecticut was spared the destruction seen in New York and New Jersey, many communities along the shoreline — including some of the wealthiest towns in America.

For some living along Connecticut’s vaunted “Gold Coast,” the effects of Sandy and earlier storms were enough to reconsider life on the waterfront.

“We feel traumatized and displaced,” said Jessica Levitt, the mother of two young children while waiting last week for the waters to subside in Fairfield, in

a neighborhood of modest and more expensive homes. “Everyone is walking around with these blank looks on their faces. Nobody knows where to go and what to do.”

The storm battered the entire Connecticut shoreline, destroying homes in cities and towns including Milford, East Haven and Norwalk. Three people were killed.

In Bridgeport, the state’s largest city, flooding and widespread power outages complicated the lives of thousands.

“There’s no heat. Our food is destroyed,” said Yvonne Figueroa, 21, of Bridgeport, who said she could not get paid because the Fairfield clothing store where she works lost power. “I haven’t been to work. I’m broke.”

But the storm upended life most dramatically perhaps in the wealthier towns of Fairfield County, which is known for its hedge funds, New York City commuters and consistently high ratings for quality of life.

Along the shoreline community of Westport, remnants of Sandy’s wrath were everywhere — canoes, massive sewer pumps and propane tanks ripped from homes in jum-

bled heaps at the end of streets.

Mary Anne Mayo, a 58-year-old lawyer and her husband, Stephen Nelson, 62, also a lawyer, have lived for 15 years in a 40-yearold contemporary post and beam house at a corner overlooking where the Saugatuck river flows into Long Island Sound.

Sitting Friday in her second floor living room with sweeping views of the water, she fielded phone calls from heating and electrical contractors, insurance adjusters and FEMA. Below, all that could be heard was the deafening din of workers with heavy equipment tearing out the soaking sheet rock from a first floor that barely exists anymore, washed away by the storm surge.

Allen Ferriello, 57, a finance manager who works in New York City, has lived a short walk from the beach in Westport for 18 years and is sure life will quickly return to normal.

“I think in six months this will all be a bad memory,” he said.

“People will be back to living here and loving it and saying, ‘that was the big one, we’re safe for another 10 years.’”

County clerk’s policy on registration during grace period puts residents at disadvantage

TOLU TAIWO Opinions columnist

C

hampaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten defended his handling of grace period voter registration last week as state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-103, and state Sen. Michael Frehrichs, D-52, expressed concerns about the mail-in stipulation.

In his domain as county clerk, Hulten called for grace period registration to be conducted through mail, instead of in-person registration. Hulten defended this decision and said, “It’s about treating someone who registers in October the same as someone who registers in July.”

But at a press conference Thursday, Jakobsson and Frehrichs repeated that Hulten’s way of mailin registration disenfranchises voters. The representatives stood with new Urbana resident David Collier, who could not register ahead of time.

“The most frustrating thing is the extra steps,” Collier said, as reported in The Daily Illini.

“I don’t know what (Hulten’s) reasoning is. I just know he’s making it very difficult on me.”

Mail-in registration isn’t fair, though, because it puts too many obstacles in the way for people who simply are unable to register on time. Instead of trying to keep it uniform, the focus needs to be getting more people registered to vote.

Reasons people didn’t register to vote before the Oct. 9 deadline varied — from hectic work schedules, recent moves or long stays in foreign countries — but some just simply forgot. Regardless of the reason, many prospective voters are left out of the loop because of Hulten’s unnecessary complications.

To set up a small operation where people could stop by the County Clerk Office and register all-in-one would not be too taxing on Hulten’s end. Grace period registration is for those who are pressed for time, so eliminating unnecessary steps to registration should be the goal. An extra trip to the post office may be too much for those most pressed for time.

Hulten and his office have already given people the ability to register late; they should take a step further and make the entire process easier so that as many people can register to vote.

Letter to the Editor

Process for grace period registration is severely flawed

Getting philosophical for Election Day JOSEPH VANDEHEY Opinions columnist

E

lection Day! The majesty and beauty of this fine day has poets across the nation waxing lyrical about the greatness of our country.

Oh, who am I kidding? “Majesty” and “Election Day” in the same thought? Wednesday will come as a relief. Even we who live outside the battleground states have been through enough mudslinging, sinister advertisements and pathetic he-said, she-said debates to drive us all nutty.

Despite being ready for all of this to be over, part of me is feeling oddly philosophical as Election Day draws near. Despite all the irritations it brings, something about this time of year whispers questions in my ears. What is the fundamental nature of this democracy of ours? What are its advantages and disadvantages? How do we, as voters, make the best use of democracy?

Newspapers around the country have used their editorial space these past few days to answer this last question for us, recommending this person or that person for office. Today, dear reader, in my philosophical mood, I prefer to consider why and how we vote for representatives.

Total direct democracy in a country as big as ours — with the people voting on every single issue — is not feasible. To vote properly on every issue, we must be knowledgeable about each of them, and there is no practical way of educating the populace on the exact effects of every bill. That would be the equivalent of tomorrow’s election being held every few weeks.

tives’ decisions for a few key issues for them, no questions asked.

Rarely though do those issues come up in isolation. Take abortion for instance: In the debates over the Affordable Care Act, the primary issue was not whether abortion should be legal or illegal, but rather who should have to pay for it.

We should vote for someone who can take the barrage of information surrounding an issue and condense it down to a good law, rather than having a surrogate on a single issue. In other words, we should vote for someone wise.

I will admit that I, too, have issues which can be dealbreakers and sway my choice of who to vote for, but that is because politicians who espouse those positions often come across looking unwise as a result.

There have been times, though, when the appearance of wisdom has overridden my usual ideological choices.

In 2008, as I spent the Monday before Election Day researching the people on the ballot, I encountered a most interesting candidate.

While he had a number of positions that I did not fully agree with, the impression I had of him was a person who actually thought about issues, rather than just toeing the party line. He earned my vote as a result.

Ultimately, he lost, but it was a pleasant reminder amid the Election Day chaos of what we strive for in this democracy of ours, and what makes it all worthwhile.

What is the fundamental nature of this democracy of ours?

Objectivity hinders quality journalism

Town needs honest county clerk Trying to explain the extraordinary delays experienced by grace period voters, The News-Gazette reported that Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten said: “We mail everything out the same day ... I personally have run mail to the post office.” This is false. David Collier, who recently moved to town to work with me as the Stat 100 course technology specialist, was mailed his ballot application postmarked four days after the morning he filed for it. With the two day post office delivery time, he had exactly one day to get it returned. If he had followed the instructions Hulten gave him and mailed it back, his chance to vote would already be lost.

When David brought the application in by hand, he was still not allowed to vote even though all of Hulten’s security checks were long-since finished. Instead, he was told a ballot would be mailed.

Unless that promise is kept much more quickly than last time, he still won’t get to vote.

From what I saw while waiting in line to vote, this all looks like standard practice to disenfranchise hundreds, perhaps thousands, of voters.

Hulten has just now, under pressure, switched to sending out ballots with the applications. Unless he speeds up the process, neither will arrive in time to be of use.

Hulten says that he runs grace period this way because he “treats every voter who registers in Champaign County the same.” If that were true, we’d all be in trouble. We need a county clerk who tells the truth.

ELLEN FIREMAN, professor in statistics

One might think that I, as a socalled “high-information voter” (or, if you prefer, “political news junkie”), would be capable of such frequent voting splurges. After all, I read about politics and law almost daily.

Despite this, I have only two issues I feel qualified to vote knowledgeably on: wolf reintroduction in the lower 48 states and same-sex marriage.

That’s it. A lifetime’s fascination with politics and there are two issues — just two — I have studied enough to vote on with full knowledge of the consequences.

So, as everyone learns in their civics classes, we have a representative democracy instead. What often goes unsaid in these classes is that it is no easier for an elected representative to vote on every issue from personal expertise alone. One cannot simultaneously be an expert in law, economics (macro and micro), medicine, the environment, national defense and every other topic which has ever found its way into a bill.

Thankfully, representatives do not need to be experts; instead, they have unprecedented access to the testimony of experts in each field and the time, no, the job to acquire such knowledge before they vote.

Yet we can and often do vote for candidates based on a few black and white criteria. Are they prolife or pro-choice? Are they for bigger government or smaller government? Do they support the auto bailout? Do they support same-sex marriage? And on and on and on.

We want to make our representa-

KIRSTEN KELLER Opinions columnist

I’m

starting to get irritated with this age of information. Today, we have more information than ever before at our fingertips — we have so many ways of finding things out and countless places to look it up.

But what frustrates me is that I don’t know where to find good information.

Let me digress. A few days ago, I was trying to learn about Sweden’s super-efficient incineration of waste. Essentially, Sweden has become so efficient in incinerating and generating energy from its trash that other countries, especially Norway, have started to pay Sweden to take their trash off their hands. This sounds like a great idea, right? And that’s exactly what I wanted to figure out—is this a good thing? Or a bad thing?

Is the incineration process damaging to the environment? Why aren’t other countries incinerating like Sweden is? But an hour of research and 20 new tabs later, I came up with no answers. All I knew was that Scandinavians were making, as NPR said it, trash chic.

While this may be a slight under exaggeration, I still think this lack of good information is a problem. I like to think of myself as a mildly intelligent, on the way to becoming a college-educated per-

son, yet even so I cannot easily find these answers. And my Sweden example is only one of many. I don’t want to say that researching should always be an easy process, and probably if I spent more time extensively researching this topic I could have answered my questions. But information just isn’t that accessible. One way to make it so is by loosening up about the need for objectivity.

What I think is happening is that we are at a crossroad, where people, journalists especially, are trying to be so objective in their writing that any sort of interpretation is regarded with hesitance. This was my experience with my Sweden research, for no article was giving me any clues if Sweden’s incineration was something that should be emulated. Then there are the growing amount of opinionated pieces that may argue a good point, but for someone looking for concrete, “objective” information, an opinions piece does not suffice — it’s just an opinion.

Stephen Ward, the director of the Center for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, wrote in a PBS column that the journalism of today, which includes blogs and social media, has made media formats for opinion journalism multiply. And this is fine — as an opinions columnist, I think it is important for us to have the ability to try to make sense of the information thrust into our consciousness and then report back what should be thought of that information. But as you’re learning now, it’s hard for us to do that sometimes.

What is most essential for this age of mass information is the redefinition, or the rethinking, of objectivity. Articles need to have a sense of direction, so that readers can come away with more answers than questions. Yet this direction should not be equated with opinion; in no way should the writer be trying to influence the reader. Ward defines objectivity as “a person’s willingness to use objective methods to test interpretations for bias or inaccuracies.” This is what objectivity should be. But many people think an objective article has to report solely the facts. Who. What.

When. Where. But the last two, how and why, are not emphasized as much. Todd Frankel, a feature and enterprise reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch who spoke at the University on Oct. 25, focuses on the how and why in his stories, to give them substance and a certain amount of understanding. He combines his fact searching with a need to give meaning to his stories.

“I’m always searching for good information,” Frankel said. “The duty of a journalist, more so of a writer, is to make sense of it all.”

I hope a new age of this type of objectivity is fast approaching.

I’d like to say that one day I could contribute to it. But until then, I’ll sift through the fluff of the Internet as best I can in my search for some good information.

fter you’re around people for about four years, you start to realize some of their strange habits. Recently, some of my friends have noticed my abnormal behavior of walking down the middle of the street.

I’m not talking about the edge of the sidewalk space. I’m talking full monty, walking on the painted broken lines. It doesn’t matter if it’s 2 a.m. and I’m coming back from Murphy’s, or if it’s 3 a.m. and I’ve just finished an intense study session at the library. If I’m by myself, or even with just one other person, you can bet that at least one car has to swerve around me.

“What’s wrong with you?” many irrate drivers ask. “Isn’t the sidewalk good enough for you?”

Well ... no. It’s not — not at night, anyway. I usually inform people that I walk on the road so no one can snatch me from the bushes and sexually assault me.

I get a lot funny looks for that one.

But I’m not trying to be glib, or funny. It’s my biggest fear as something that was instilled in me ever since the first time I first heard about a University public sexual assault.

Although most assaults are between someone the victim knows, stranger attacks are real. So I walk on the road.

Just last Sunday, students got an email about a girl who was attacked on Green Street. This is not just in my head. It happens God-onlyknows how many times over the course of the year.

I walk on the road because we have a broken SafeRides system. A couple of nights ago, my best friend and I helped get a girl home. SafeRides informed us that they would only stop at their boundary at University and State, which was all well and good, except the fact that she lived at least ten minutes away from that point. That’s ten minutes unprotected. And alone.

I ridicule SafeRides often. And I know they can’t be our personal taxi service, but I think there needs to be talk of extending at least one bus to the outskirts of town. Not all students live out there, but enough do.

I walk on the road because there are girls like me who take their friends’ independence as a sign that they are fine walking home on their own. But they’re not always.

I have told several of my friends they can walk home alone, but that’s not right. Why can’t I figure out a way to walk with them, maybe halfway, or even stay the night at their place? At the very least, I always, always make sure they text me when they’re home.

Like everyone with a strong support group, my friends are my family. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to them.

I walk on the road because I am too proud to ask someone to walk me home. The number of times I’ve walked home alone in the past four years is staggering. I know countless, wonderful friends who would drop anything to make sure I got home safe — why don’t I lean on them?

Is it because I don’t want to put them in danger, where they too must walk alone to come save me?

Is it because I think it’s a bummer that, unfortunately, we all may need someone to walk us home at times?

That we all think that this may be the day that someone decides to attack us, so we need to be constantly vigilant?

Maybe I know, subconsciously, that walking in the middle of road may not save me if something were to happen. Because the true solution isn’t a bunch of students walking in the middle of the street in fear of their safety. The solution is that more institutions — Universities, local government and others — to pay more attention to the issue of safety. This shouldn’t be a topic we accept blindly. Sexual assault isn’t something we can get rid of with a snap of a finger, but we shouldn’t throw our hands up and admit defeat, either.

You see, this occurrence of sexual assault isn’t just our university’s problem. It isn’t just Todd Akin’s problem, or a women’s problem, or the problem of someone who happens to walk alone. It’s a problem we all need to address, regardless of sex, political party, or status in the world. Be it focus groups, another University campus committee, a bigger legislative push ... whatever may work. We should not be a culture that takes rape or sexual assault in as a negative that just happens. It needs to stop.

I don’t have an easy fix for the solution-- I doubt anyone does. Until we conquer this, the best thing to do is to watch out for your friends. And if you need to walk solo, find a solution that isn’t so middle-of-the-road.

U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, right, emerges from the 103rd-floor stairwell at Chicago's Willis Tower on Sunday, during the RIC SkyRise Chicago event, a fundraiser for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, where Kirk is a patient.

Sen. Kirk participates in Willis Tower stair climb months after major stroke

BY MICHELLE JANAYE NEALY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Gripping a handrail and wearing a brace on his left leg, U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk climbed 37 floors inside Chicago’s Willis Tower on Sunday in his first public appearance since suffering a major stroke.

Kirk, taking part in a popular charity fundraiser called “SkyRise Chicago,” started walking from the 66th floor and climbed up to the finish line at the 103rd floor.

He was met with hugs and cheers from family and friends at the end. The senator paced slowly through the crowd with the help of a cane, smiling but saying little to the media.

Kirk’s stroke in January severe-

ly limited movement on the left side of his body.

“We’ve seen some amazing progress over the last few months,” said Michael Klonowski, a physical therapist with the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, where Kirk is receiving treatment. “As an in-patient, he needed significant help. Now here he is going up the stairs without my help.”

“That’s remarkable progress.”

The institute hosted the stairclimbing event. Kirk prepared for the event by scaling stairs and incrementally increasing the height he climbed.

The 53-year-old Republican, who continues to undergo rehabilitation, has been releasing vid-

eos on his progress, including footage of him working with therapists and climbing stairs.

“When he first started off (on Sunday) he had a bit more energy than he did when we were training,” Klonowski said. “When we were practicing, we would sometimes take a few floors, and then take a break. He just wasn’t having that today. He was really amped up.”

Nearly 3,000 people attended the annual stair-climbing event.

Participants climbed 103 floors — about 2,100 steps in all — to the Willis Tower’s Skydeck level.

Organizers said the event raises about $1 million each year to support rehabilitation care and research at the institute.

ELKHART, Ind. — An Indiana woman who spent eight years behind bars for the killing of a blind 94-year-old woman has been freed, after a fi ngerprint that was prosecutors’ crucial piece of evidence against her was found not to be hers, after all.

Lana Canen, 53, was released Friday from the Elkhart County Jail after a judge who overturned her 2005 murder conviction in the Thanksgiving Day 2002 slaying of Helen Sailor ordered her freed, WSBT-TV and WNDU-TV reported.

Canen maintains that she had nothing to do with killing Sailor.

At her trial, prosecutors said she conspired with her co-defendant, Andrew Royer, to rob Sailor, and that Royer strangled the woman.

Both were convicted and given 55-year prison sentences.

Canen appealed her conviction and earlier this year, an Arizona fingerprint expert discovered that an Elkhart County sheriff’s detective, Dennis Chapman, had misidentified a fingerprint found on a pill bottle in Sailor’s apartment as Canen’s.

Prosecutor Curtis Hill said the fi ngerprint was a central part of the case against Canen and that without it, he couldn’t prove she was involved.

“There’s just not an ability for me in good conscience to go forward and suggest that we have a sufficient amount to support a prosecution,” Hill said.

Hill said the only way Canen

could be charged in Sailor’s death again is if investigators find other evidence against her. When asked whether he thought Canen was innocent, Hill responded: “That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying I can’t prove it.”

Canen said after her release Friday that since her 2004 arrest, she hadn’t seen her now 10-yearold grandson, her daughter and other relatives. Now free, she said even car exhaust smelled “good.”

She told WSBT-TV she had nothing to do with Sailor’s killing.

“That’s what’s hard to think (is) that people would think I’m that kind of a monster that would do that to a 94-year-old blind woman,” Canen said.

Chapman, who admitted that his fi ngerprint test results were wrong, was disciplined and still works at the sheriff’s department.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.

— For more than five months — while Julie Cervera struggled to pay a $600 electrical bill, feed her family and keep the cable company from shutting off her service because she couldn’t pay — she was a millionaire without knowing it.

Meanwhile, her $23 million lottery ticket languished forgotten in the glove compartment of her car.

On Thursday, someone texted her a photo of her daughter, Charliena Marquez, buying the winning ticket for her at a Palmdale Liquor store. The photo had been released by lottery offi cials searching for the mysterious winner of the May drawing.

“I put my 99-cent glasses on, and I had to put two pairs on to see it,” said Cervera, 69, of Victorville. She recognized her daughter in the grainy photo, but she still couldn’t read the caption.

“I thought she robbed a bank because I couldn’t see the words on top,” Cervera said with a laugh. “So I put on a third pair (of glasses) and it said she won.

I was like, ‘No way!’”

Back in May, mother and daughter were driving home together when Marquez felt queasy and asked her mother to pull over so she could buy a bottle of water.

“She always gets carsick,” Cervera said.

Cervera asked her daughter to buy her a lottery ticket and dug in her purse trying to fi nd a dollar.

Marquez protested but eventually used her own money to purchase a Super Lotto Plus ticket for her mom.

“I put it in my new car. It’s an old car but it’s new to me. It’s been there for five months,” Cervera said Friday at a news conference with her three adult children and half a dozen grandchildren lined up behind her. “I’ve got like 200 tickets laying around my house.

I never check my tickets.”

Lottery winner Julie Cervera, center, looks at her recently dead son pictured on a tattoo as she is hugged by her grandson Rudy Ray, left, and daughter Charliena Marquez in San Bernardino, Calif., on Friday.

But when she fi nally looked in the glove compartment, the winning ticket was right where she left it. It was set to expire Nov. 26, so the California Lottery went looking for the winner.

Officials found the surveillance video from Michael’s Market and Liquor and released the photo, which Cervera’s other daughter spotted in the Antelope Valley Press.

Marquez initially dismissed calls and texts from friends and family who recognized her in the photo.

“My sister called at 11 o’clock at night and woke me up. She said, ‘This girl is you.’ I said, ‘No, it’s not me,’ because I hadn’t seen it yet,” she said.

It wasn’t until the next morning that Marquez realized she had bought the winning ticket that would help her mother and her entire family for years to come.

Cervera, a widow who has lived on disability for 20 years, said her family has been through difficult times recently. Last year her 47-year-old son Rudy was killed in a motorcycle accident, leaving four teenage children.

“I’d give it all up to have my son here again,” she said and began to cry. Her oldest grandson, Rudy Jr., hugged her and the whole family wiped away tears.

“My grandkids are all going to be taken care of, and my (three) daughters,” she said. “I’m just so happy. I’m going to buy me a pair of Reeboks.”

She also has two adopted sons, ages 5 and 9, who have developmental disabilities.

“A big portion is going to them, so that when I’m gone they’ll be OK,” she said. “I’m going to take them to Disneyland. I really am! And we’re going to pay for everything.”

Cervera had only 180 days to claim her prize. If she hadn’t acted, the millions would have gone to California schools. A $52 million jackpot winner in Fremont was found in August by a similar public appeal by lottery officials.

In the last fiscal year, more than $20.5 million in cash prizes went unclaimed.

Cervera said she would take a one-time cash payment of $17.8 million.

“I’m not going to be here 30 years from now,” she said.

Brits, Americans celebrate Guy Fawkes Day

BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER

If there is a face of anarchy, it’s that of Guy Fawkes. His face is so notorious that it is commonly symbolized, ironically, in the form of an identity-concealing mask.

Fawkes was an English Catholic who is immortalized annually on Nov. 5, a date identified by his namesake. Guy Fawkes Day marks his plot in 1605 to eliminate the entire British Parliament in one fell swoop. He was popularized by the 2005 movie “V for Vendetta,” where V, the character based on Fawkes, always wore a smug, musketeerstyle mustachioed mask that came to embody his revolutionary persona.

As the history goes, Fawkes and a group of four other conspirators planted a sizeable stash of gunpowder — at least 20 barrels — beneath the British Parliament building when government officials were present, including King James I, the Protestant king at the time.

Fawkes’ plan was to detonate the gunpowder and eliminate the nation’s rulers, bringing the country into a new era of Catholicism.

Walter Arnstein, professor emeritus of history who specializes in 19th and 20th centuryera Great Britain, said Fawkes was originally a Protestant but converted to Catholicism and became very passionate.

“It was at that time (in Britain) the Protestant/Catholic element was a central story,” Arnstein said.

What became known as the Gunpowder Plot did not succeed. Just hours before the explosion was set to take place, officials located the gunpowder and captured Fawkes and his cohorts.

He was later tried for treason, found guilty and executed brutally for his crimes.

Coming from such a dark history, why is this religious and political extremist still remembered? For the same reason that any nation remembers a disaster like this: so he can serve as an example of what happens when someone tries to go against the government so starkly.

Dan Chappell, sophomore in FAA, is an international student from Great Britain. He has taken part in many festivities surrounding Guy Fawkes Day — also known as Bonfire Night — throughout his life. He recited the common British nursery rhyme affiliated with Fawkes: “(Remember,) remember, the 5th of November. / Gunpowder, treason and plot. / I see no rea-

GARETH FULLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Artist Frank Shepherd poses with his creation of Lance Armstrong, who has been unveiled as this year’s Edenbridge Bonfire Society celebrity Guy, during an unveiling for the media in Edenbridge, England, on Wednesday. The Edenbridge Bonfire Society has a long tradition of building symbolic effigies of famous people to burn during their Guy Fawkes bonfire night. This year they will burn Armstrong. son why gunpowder treason / should ever be forgot.”

The rhyme goes on after these first lines, continuing to explain the story of Nov. 5.

“In Britain, more people will be aware that this is really meant to be a nationalist holiday celebrating the unraveling of Fawkes’ plot,” said Feisal Mohamed, English professor specializing in 17th Century British literature.

Even though the holiday is named after Fawkes, Guy Fawkes Day in Great Britain is all about dishonoring Fawkes and celebrating his failure.

“On Bonfire Night ... you would build a bonfire and then have an effigy of Guy Fawkes, use old clothes, like a scarecrow,” Chappell said. “Then you would actually burn this figure on the bonfire, so it’s kind of rejecting Guy Fawkes.”

There are fireworks and

nationwide celebrations on Bonfire Night. It’s a night of fun for families and children, comparable to the Fourth of July or Halloween in the United States.

“And so it gradually — certainly by the time of the 20th Century — it largely ceased to be primarily a religious affair,” Arnstein said. “It became almost a kind of a children’s memory.”

The details have become watered down since 1605, and Guy Fawkes Day has lost its historical element. Children are taught a tamer version in British elementary schools, and the Gunpowder Plot has become more of a “lighthearted” tale, Chappell said.

“People got further and further away from the actual history,” Mohamed said. “People kind of forgot what it was really about and were able to sort of project these later values onto November 5th.”

This is especially pertinent in the U.S. Instead of celebrating the downfall of Fawkes, Americans celebrate his attempt at challenging the powers in place, both Mohamed and Chappell said.

“On this side of the Atlantic, we’re less attached to British government and celebrate a revolutionary moment when this country broke away from British government,” Mohamed continued. “Fawkes can be celebrated.”

The American spirit has come to stand for independence and freedom, which some people could believe is symbolized by Fawkes’ rebellious 1605 plot.

The movie “V for Vendetta” is a theatrical, futuristic version of the Gunpowder Plot, with key parallels to the actual historic event.

The film stars Natalie Portman, with Hugo Weaving as V.

The character V is portrayed as a “freedom fighter,” one who wanted revenge on those who wronged him.

He forms an alliance with Evey Hammond, Portman’s character, to carry out his vengeance-filled scheme.

“I think that Hollywood has definitely glorified Fawkes, who was not someone operating out of noble principles,” Mohamed said. “I think (the movie’s hype) has made Fawkes into more of a hero than any student of history would think.”

The mask of Guy Fawkes is also often used by hacktivist group Anonymous, which has defaced multiple websites in honor of the holiday. On the morning of Nov. 4, the group ravished the NBC website, featuring the Nov. 5 poem, loud music and a dark, starry screen.

The NBC site was restored by 6 p.m. Sunday. They used the

WINE

same defacement on Daily Gaga, a Lady Gaga fan site.

As of today, Fawkes’ story has fluctuated significantly throughout the course of time.

It went from a religious conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism in Great Britain to an English night of celebration to an American symbol of revolution. Because the Gunpowder Plot took place more than four centuries ago, details have been cast away, storytelling has taken over, and Fawkes means something different to everyone, depending on which side of the Atlantic they are on.

Whether the holiday is commemorated today with fireworks and sparklers or a mask and a cape, all of these themes have come to represent the rebellious extremist that was Guy Fawkes.

Sports Buckeyes end soccer’s Big Ten run

BY CHARLIE MANIATES STAFF WRITER

With an automatic NCAA tournament berth on the line, Illinois soccer’s magical run through the Big Ten Tournament ended Sunday in the championship game. And now the team must wait to learn its fate.

No. 5-seeded Illinois squared off against No. 2-seeded Ohio State with the hopes of pulling off its fourth upset in as many games and defending last season’s Big Ten title. The Lady Buckeyes, however, had other plans and took the 2-1 victory in Bloomington, Ind. After a scoreless first half that featured chances for both squads, Ohio State broke into the goal column in the 64th minute. Senior forward Tiffany Cameron was able to knock the ball in after she gained possession after a headed pass off a corner kick. Four minutes later, Cameron put another one in the net from the top of the 18-yard box.

“She was quick, she did a lot of runs over the top,” junior defender Kassidy Brown said of Cameron. “Defending her throughout the game, she was just quick and made pretty threatening runs. It was sometimes difficult to track her, but I thought, otherwise, we did a pretty good job containing her.”

Ohio State had the edge in total shots and corner kicks, putting Illinois on the defensive for much of the second half.

Brown said some of the Illini’s clears were not good enough, which led to Buckeyes attackers turning it around on them and taking advantage of the turnovers.

“I think that was our biggest fault,” Brown said.

In the 81st minute, the Illini offense came alive, as junior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo was able to find junior midfielder Allie Osoba with a cross. Osoba headed the ball into the back of the net, giving the Illini hope with just nine minutes remaining. That hope diminished, though, despite the offense’s fast-paced play to record the equalizer.

“I thought our possession was good at times, but we didn’t have the urgency going to goal until the very end,” head coach Janet Rayfield said.

Despite the loss, the Illini hope they get an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament. Illinois’ win in Friday’s semifinal against No. 1-seeded Penn State will certainly help its cause.

The Illini defeated the Nittany Lions 1-0 to avenge a 4-0 loss earlier this season.

“We’re pretty confident, especially after the Penn State game,” Brown said about how the team feels about its NCAA tournament chances. “We shouldn’t have to worry about Monday’s selection show, but always still you want to be careful.

Once we get our name on the board, it’ll be really exciting.”

Friday’s win was the first time the Illini defeated a top-

Illini volleyball rights the ship, puts an end to losing streak with win over Indiana

STAFF WRITER

BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE STAFF WRITER

For the second time this season, the Illinois volleyball team was reeling after four straight losses, the latest a crushing fiveset defeat at home at the hands of No. 22 Purdue.

But Indiana proved to be the salve for Illinois’ wounds Saturday night, as the Illini (11-13, 5-9 Big Ten)made a step toward righting the ship in a four-set victory against the Hoosiers (11-15, 3-11).

“I think it’s just a good confidence boost, I guess,” senior middle blocker Erin Johnson said.

Illinois, which has struggled opening matches at times this season, jumped on

Indiana from the get-go, with the Hoosiers holding their only lead in the first seven points of the set. The Illini attack came out scorching, hitting .389 as a team while the three outside hitters – Jocelynn Birks, Liz McMahon and Ali Stark – combined for 13 kills in the 25-22 win.

“We just talked about coming out strong and staying consistent throughout and attacking and being aggressive, so I think that had a lot to do with it,” Birks said.

The second set brought more of the same.

This time, Indiana’s only lead came at 3-2, after which Illinois swiftly seized control behind a similarly balanced attack. The Illini hit a lower percentage, .269, but it was their defense that made the difference, as

they held the Hoosier attack to just a .033 hitting efficiency.

Indiana refused to go quietly, though, leading wire-to-wire in the third set to avoid the sweep. After gaining the early advantage, the Hoosiers managed to cling to a slim lead behind five kills and six digs from outside hitter Jordan Haverly. Illinois made several late surges to cut it to two but were unable to get over the hump and close out the match.

“I thought we were playing frantic at times,” head Coach Kevin Hambly said.

“We were trying really hard to win. Just trying really hard to win the set. You can’t

COLUMBUS, Ohio — This season wasn’t supposed to turn out like this for the Illinois football team.

It would have been as hard to predict this six-game losing streak as last season, though the six-game losing streak at the end of last season was unheard of, as no team had ever started out 6-0 and then went on to lose its next six before the 2011 Illinois football team.

A coaching change was made and in came Tim Beckman from Toledo and his new era of “steaks and cakes” for victories, Thursday lasagna dinners and supposed energy and hope for Illinois.

As the Ilini (2-7, 0-5 Big Ten) jogged off the field Saturday, most players had their heads bowed after being handily defeated by the Buckeyes (10-6, 6-0) 52-22 and the sound of Ohio State’s players and fans singing its fight song in the background holding high the Illibuck trophy Illinois hasn’t won in five years. It capped a second consecutive season with a six-game losing streak, the first time the Illini have lost six in a row since the 2005 and 2006 seasons.

With that, Illinois has eliminated itself from postseason play. Its dreams of a third consecutive bowl victory are done. Its hopes of playing in the Big Ten Championship game, finished. The start of its new era, a disaster.

As Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase put it, the Illini now just have the “love of the game” left to play for.

“We’re not going to be able to reach that and then you have to reevaluate and you have to really look at what you can do,”

Aggressive 1st half propels Illini to 75-66 victory

BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER

Basketball normally isn’t analogous to poker, but in its last exhibition game before the regular season starts, the Illinois men’s basketball team used the slow play to establish a lead it would never surrender en route to a 75-66 victory over West Chester.

Jump shots weren’t falling early — only two field goals were made by the Illini at the 13:28 mark in the first half — but a dogged persistence in attacking the basket allowed Illinois to connect on 16 free throws and propel it to a 36-8 run to end the half leading 44-20.

A significant chunk of that run came by way of the active hands of forward Tyler Griffey, who forced four steals in the first half that were often punctuated by transition layups on the other end.

“I thought we were more aggressive (on defense) for sure,” Illinois head coach John Groce said. “We call it having a presence on the ball, and I thought that led to some turnovers. We were disruptive.”

Those last 15 minutes of the first half were impressionably productive on the offensive and defensive ends, Groce said, with opportunistic defense creating easy baskets on offense.

Groce wasn’t as complimentary about the rest of the game. He described his team’s effort as “sporadic” and estimated that they played 20 minutes of quality basketball in the exhibition.

In the other 20 minutes, West Chester

gamely outhustled Illinois, throwing varied defensive looks like a full-court press and zone to confuse the Illini. The culmination of these lackluster minutes came with 1:18 left in the game, with Groce reinserting his starting lineup once West Chester cut Illinois’ lead to 10.

One of Illinois’ point guards, Tracy Abrams, acclimated positively to the pressure, leading Illinois with 17 points and turning the ball over only once. The performance displayed a marked difference from the earliest practices in the season when Abrams was slow to pick up on a new offensive system under Groce.

“Learning the system, understanding the pace of when I need to go fast and when I need to go slow,” Abrams said of the difference between those early practices and now.

The other player shouldering point guard duties, Brandon Paul, turned the ball over five times on two assists, contributing to a larger problem of turnovers from the entire team. Illinois finished with 21 of them, nine more than Groce would like to see from a game. Some of those turnovers — like the breathtaking putback dunk attempt from Joseph Bertrand that was called an over-the-back foul — Groce said are acceptable. But many of them were a product of the aforementioned sporadic effort he saw from his team, or “unforced errors” in Groce lingo.

“We still have a lot to do,” Bertrand said.

“We came out today and had some spots

where we played good and other spots we played not as good.”

Bertrand scored the next-most points for Illinois with 13 on 6-of-8 shooting, describing his role on the team as someone who can slash to the basket within the halfcourt offense.

Illinois kept the Warriors at a comfortable distance for much of the game, but the turnovers and inconsistency will sink the Illini once they face tougher competition.

“Like coach said, we only came out tonight and played 20 minutes,” Abrams said, moving his had to mimic a balancing scale. “You got to be at a level pace at all times, no matter what happens.”

Hynes finishes 2nd at Hoosier invite Three Illini in top 10 for women’s cross-country

BY NICHOLAS FORTIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Senior Meagan Hynes led the Illinois women’s crosscountry team with a secondplace individual finish Friday at the Hoosier Invitational in Bloomington, Ind. The invitational was Hynes’ fourth race in as many weekends, but fatigue didn’t play a factor as she ran one of her best races this year.

“One of the things that doesn’t happen very often in the world of cross-country is racing backto-back weekends, and Meagan has now raced four weekends in a row,” head coach Jeremy Rasmussen said. “She did a great job with it. She wanted to go out and race and she wanted to be able to compete and get another opportunity and she did just that.”

Three Illini runners placed in the top 10 and all five that competed finished in the top 25 in the meet.

“All of the girls wanted to go out and run a great race to end our seasons on a good note,” freshman Michelle Frigo said.

“The course definitely was tough and really tested us, but we walked away happy with the way we raced.”

Hynes crossed the finish line of the 5K in 19 minutes, 11 seconds. Sophomore Colette Falsey finished second for Illinois and seventh overall with a time of 19:23, and junior Rachel Irion completed the race 10th overall in 19:41. Frigo and junior Amanda Zamora rounded out the field for the Illini, finishing 14th and 22nd, respectively, with times of 19:57 and 20:53.

“Everyone competed well,” Hynes said. “The course was pretty hilly and unlike any other course we’ve run on this season.

So considering the terrain, everyone got after it, and it was a good last meet for the few of us that ran.”

SEATTLE — Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch had all the answers for Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings.

Lynch ran for 124 yards and a touchdown, Wilson threw three first-half touchdown passes, and the Seattle Seahawks overcame 182 yards by Peterson in a 30-20 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

The matchup between the top two rushers in the NFL — Peterson and Lynch — didn’t disappoint with Peterson having his best game since 2008.

But the difference was Wilson, Seattle’s rookie QB who continues to improve. He

did just what the Seahawks (5-4) needed, hitting key passes and not making any mistakes.

Wilson threw touchdown passes of 11 yards to Sidney Rice and a pair to Golden Tate.

The first to Tate came on a 6-yard throw in the first quarter.

On the second, Tate took a short screen pass, danced away from a couple of defenders near the line of scrimmage, then jumped over Minnesota cornerback Josh Robinson at the goal line, just getting the ball over the line before it was knocked loose by Everson Griffen.

The second of Tate’s touchdowns gave Seattle a 20-17 lead at halftime. Then it was time for Lynch, who spent most of the first half watching Peterson sprint through the Seahawks’ defense.

Lynch had a 3-yard TD run

in the third quarter to give Seattle a 10-point lead. He ran for 69 yards in the second half and added two receptions that included a key 24-yard screen pass that led to Steven Hauschka’s 40-yard field goal with 6:23 left and a 30-20 Seattle lead.

The Seahawks then capped the game by running the final 5:27 off the clock converting two fourth downs as Seattle snapped a two-game losing streak.

Wilson finished 16 of 24 for 173 yards. Rice and Tate both had four catches, but Wilson connected with eight different receivers.

Seattle won despite Peterson.

It was his third straight game over 100 yards rushing and he nearly reached the century mark by the end of the first quarter.

But the Vikings (5-4) went

away from their star in the second half, who continues his recovery from a torn ACL suffered late last season.

Peterson had just five carries for 38 yards in the second half, yet still had his best game since running for 192 yards against Green Bay on Nov. 9, 2008.

Christian Ponder was 11 of 22 for just 63 yards, was sacked four times and threw an interception in the fourth quarter.

Peterson’s big day started early as he went 74 yards on the second play of the game, only to be caught at the 1-yard line

by Brandon Browner. Peterson scored two plays later, the first time this season the Seahawks did not score first.

Peterson’s 144 yards at halftime were the most in his career in the first half. The Vikings had six rushes of more

than 10 yards in the first half.

And still, despite rolling up the yards, the Vikings went to halftime trailing 20-17 because they couldn’t slow Wilson.

He completed 10 of 14 in the first half.

Even Rice, the former Viking, got in on the action with a 25-yard completion to Zach Miller. That pass set up Rice’s 11-yard TD reception when Wilson bought time in the pocket and found his receiver cutting across the back of the end zone.

Peterson answered with his second touchdown of the first half on a 4-yard run early in the second quarter and Minnesota took a 17-14 lead on Blair Walsh’s 34-yard field goal.

But Wilson answered with a 12-play, 80-yard drive to end the first half that was capped

by Tate’s leap.

Manning, Broncos pull of 4th-quarter comeback victory

BY JOE KAY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI — Peyton Manning’s two interceptions had put the Broncos behind. The fourtime MVP was going to need yet another fourth-quarter comeback to pull it out.

No one’s better at it.

Manning stayed perfect against Cincinnati on Sunday, overcoming his two interceptions with three touchdown passes for a 31-23 victory that gave him yet another NFL record that measures calmness under pressure.

His 48th game-winning drive moved him ahead of Dan Marino for the NFL record and showed Denver (5-3) that he’s still got it when everything’s on the line.

“He is special at it,” coach John Fox said.

Especially when he’s playing the Bengals (3-5), who have failed every time they’ve faced him. Manning improved to 8-0 career against Cincinnati, throwing for at least three touchdowns in five of those games.

His two second-half interceptions — one in the end zone, both by cornerback Terence Newman — helped the Bengals pull ahead 20-17 early in the fourth quarter. That’s when Manning and the Broncos have been at their best.

It wasn’t hard for Manning to get past the two bad moments and create more winning ones.

“I’ve been there before,” Manning said. “My dad (Archie) always talked about you’ve got to get back to level zero, erase the play from your mind — a good play or a bad play — and move on to the next one.

“That’s not the scenario we wanted. Any time you’re on the road and have a chance to put a team away, you want to do it. You don’t want to give a team a little life, which is what we did.”

In the end, it didn’t matter.

Denver has outscored its opponents 103-23 in the fi nal quarter, the biggest point differential in the league.

“There’s no panic,” receiver Brandon Stokley said. “That’s what this team is all about.”

Manning threw a 1-yard touchdown to tight end Joel Dreessen that put Denver back ahead. After Andy Dalton underthrew a pass under pressure that was picked off by Champ Bailey, Manning put it away with a 4-yard pass to Eric Decker with 3:36 left.

“He’s a great competitor,” Stokley said. “He is who he is, and it’s what I’ve seen from him for 14 years.”

Manning was 27 of 35 for 291 yards for a passer rating of 105.8.

He came up 9 yards short of tying Steve Young’s NFL record of five straight games with 300 yards and three TDs passing.

After a neck injury threatened his career and ended his stay in Indianapolis, Manning has regained his touch with Denver.

The Broncos have scored 37, 21, 35, 34 and 31 points in their past five games, winning four of them.

The Broncos also got a teamrecord 105-yard kickoff return from Trindon Holliday to open the second half.

“I think this team needs to go through different scenarios and have one of these tight secondhalf games,” Manning said. “The more you can go through it as a unit, the more you can draw on it later in the season. Anytime you can win going through those scenarios, that’s a plus.”

The Bengals came out of their bye week with their season at a turning point. Coach Marvin Lewis went out of character and challenged Dalton and middle linebacker Rey Maualuga to become more vocal leaders, underscoring that things were slipping away.

“Losing is bad,” Lewis said.

“We’ve lost four games in a row and we have a hard road to go.”

His quarterback made the game-changing play. Trailing 24-20, the Bengals had two holding penalties and a false start that set up a third-and-25 at their own 18.

As he was about to get hit, Dalton heaved a pass toward A.J. Green that was underthrown.

Bailey intercepted at the Cincinnati 46-yard line, giving Dalton an interception in every game this season. The Broncos then put it away with Manning’s third TD pass.

“It’s one of those where you take a shot with A.J. and either he’s catching it or nobody’s catching it,” Dalton said. “I had pressure in my face. I threw it and couldn’t get enough on it — I was getting hit.”

Dalton was under heavy pressure much of the game and fi nished 26 of 42 for 299 yards with five sacks, one touchdown and the decisive interception.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace (17) breaks a tackle for a touchdown against the New York Giants on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J. The Steelers won 24-20 despite an unusually sloppy performance for the 5-3 team.

Steelers overcome sloppiness, dominate Giants in 2nd half

BY BARRY WILNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Pittsburgh Steelers tried to beat themselves before they beat the New York Giants.

Overcoming unusual sloppiness, the Steelers dominated the second half for a 24-20 victory Sunday as Isaac Redman rushed for 147 yards and the winning touchdown from 1 yard with 4:02 to go.

Temporary relief from the destruction of Superstorm Sandy was what New York’s fans sought, and the Giants provided it for a while. But they couldn’t stop Redman, who had little relief with Pittsburgh’s other two main backs injured.

The Steelers (5-3) arrived in New Jersey hours before the game, which might have accounted for their carelessness. They had the fewest giveaways in the NFL entering the game, but were neglectful with the ball and in pass coverage; cornerback Keenan Lewis had 87 yards on two pass

interference penalties. They wasted some great kick returns, too.

It all added up to a pleasant couple of hours for locals, who packed MetLife Stadium despite the difficulties caused by a lack of power in many homes, long gas lines and, of course, severe damage throughout the region.

But when Pittsburgh came on relentlessly, the one-quarter of the 80,991 seats occupied by Terrible Towel-waving Steelers faithful could celebrate an impressive comeback victory, coach Mike Tomlin’s 60th win. This is one of the oldest rivalries in the NFL, although the teams have met only five times in 18 years. It had to feel weird for the Giants to have the ballpark rock when the visitors took charge.

The Giants (6-3) saw their fourgame winning streak end. They seemed in control as Michael Boley sprinted 70 yards with a fumble recovery in the second quarter.

Ben Roethlisberger cocked his arm to throw and defensive end Osi Umenyiora hit it. The ball

came loose and while the quarterback signaled that his arm was coming forward, Boley sped down the right sideline for the score.

Video replay upheld the touchdown for a 14-7 New York lead.

The Steelers’ long day began with a plane ride to New Jersey, a short side trip to their team hotel — they couldn’t get enough rooms to stay in the area on Saturday night and needed a league travel waiver to arrive on game day — then on to the stadium. Outside, folks tailgated and tried to blunt some of the devastation from the week’s superstorm. As Giants fan Courtney Davis, whose town of Sea Bright was washed away by Hurricane Sandy, said in response to holding the game: “We need this.”

Pittsburgh needed to straighten itself out and did just in time.

Among the gaffes: a fake field goal from the New York 3 early in the fourth quarter on which kicker Shaun Suisham lost a yard.

That wasted a 63-yard punt return

by Sanders on his first such run-

back all season.

Eli Manning threw for only 125 yards in one of the worst games of his career.

Ike Taylor’s interception of Manning’s pass for Victor Cruz into double coverage set up Pittsburgh’s 58-yard drive to Sanders’ leaping 4-yard catch in the back of the end zone for a 7-0 lead.

Back immediately came the Giants, helped by a 41-yard interference call on Lewis. Andre Brown powered in from the 1 a play after Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark’s late hit on Cruz in the end zone gave New York a first down.

Then Umenyiora and Boley made their huge play.

Lewis wasn’t through contributing to New York’s yardage. He also had a 46-yard interference penalty guarding Cruz, but Lawrence Tynes’ field goal try was short from 51 yards. In the final 31 seconds of the half, Roethlisberger hit Jerricho Cotchery for 24 yards, Heath Miller for 23, and Suisham nailed a 30-yard field goal.

Buffalo falls to Houston; Williams booed by fans at his former home

BY KRISTIE RIEKEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ERIC GAY THE ASSOCAITED PRESS

Houston Texans tight end Owen Daniels (81) catches a pass for a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in Houston. The Texans beat the Bills 21-9.

HOUSTON — Mario Williams handled the boos and the Houston blockers with ease.

What really ruffled the Buffalo defensive end was leaving his former home without a win.

Williams had a sack and a teamleading five tackles in his first game at Reliant Stadium since signing a $100 million contract with the Bills in the offseason, but Buffalo’s offense couldn’t get into the end zone Sunday in a 21-9 loss to the Texans.

“I think the biggest thing for me is if you go out and make a play and you get booed, I know I’m in your heart,” he said. “That’s the most important thing. If it had been quiet then I would have felt something different. But I know you’re thinking about me.”

Houston (7-1) made the thenshocking decision to take Wil-

liams with the top overall pick in the 2006 over offensive stars Vince Young and Reggie Bush. He piled up a franchise-record 53 sacks during his time in Houston, but the Texans let him go in the offseason when he became a restricted free agent.

He talked this week about being mad that the Texans didn’t even try to negotiate with him once free agency began.

“You can say bitterness or whatever, but I was asked a question and I just gave the answer of what happened,” he said. “Nobody has ever wanted to come out and say it.”

Arian Foster ran for 111 yards and a touchdown and Andre Johnson added 118 yards receiving as the Texans used a balanced attack to continue to build on their franchise-best start.

The Bills (3-5) moved the ball effectively at times, but stalled in

the red zone and had to settle for field goals.

“The story of the day for us was our inability to score touchdowns,” said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was 25 of 38 for 239 yards. “To me, that’s where our issue was today, not being able to get the seven points. Driving it down the field and doing different things, and not being able to convert.”

Buffalo was also stymied by its inability to run the ball, with C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson combining for just 60 yards on 12 carries.

The Bills rushed for a season-low 78 yards.

Bills’ coach Chan Gailey knows they need to get Spiller more carries.

“We would like to try to do that on a more consistent basis,” Gailey said. “They take things away from you that you don’t think they’re going to do, but they did.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Braxton Miller arrived to the postgame interview room in Ohio Stadium fashionably late. While his Ohio State teammates were all finished with the media, Miller had yet to arrive. When he finally did enter, wearing a gray sweatshirt with “Cassius Clay” written across the front, reporters swamped him.

“Do you know who Cassius Clay was?” someone asked him.

“Yeah,” he responded defensively. “Do you?”

Everyone in the room chuckled.

“Do you float like a butterfly, sting like a bee?” someone else asked.

“Nah,” Miller replied. “That’s the defense.”

While Miller may not be The Greatest of All Time, he certainly dominates a room like the famed boxer. And after Ohio State’s 52-22 thumping of Illinois, Miller’s undefeated Buckeyes have the resume to handle the hype.

Few could have seen this coming on Oct. 15, 2011, when unranked Ohio State played thenNo. 16 — and undefeated — Illinois at Memorial Stadium, in Champaign, Ill., and squeaked out a 17-7 victory. Miller threw for 17 yards on one completion and rushed for only 34 yards as a freshman.

One year and two head coaching changes later, Ohio State bullied Illinois in Columbus, Ohio, with Miller throwing for 226

yards, rushing for 73 and compiling three touchdowns. The Illini (2-7, 0-5 Big Ten) have lost six straight for the second year in a row, while the Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0) remain unbeaten and ranked No. 5 in the AP poll.

“We have a lot of respect for the personnel of the team we just played, especially on defense,” Ohio State first-year head coach Urban Meyer said. “There’s a couple of guys that received recognition, well deserved. However, I thought after a slow start the offense and defensive lines took over the game.”

If Miller dominates a room, Meyer owns it. When he talks, people listen. He did not smile postgame. He spoke about the game like a lawyer speaks about a disposed case. He was not content with Miller’s play.

“The area we’re not efficient enough is the drop-back pass,” Meyer said. “While (Miller’s) not a drop-back passer, (he) has to be.

It’s not acceptable.”

Miller didn’t do it alone against Illinois. Running back Carlos Hyde ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns and the Ohio State ground game ran for 330 yards as a whole. The Buckeyes outgained Illinois 567-170 overall.

“It’s really those five guys up front,” Hyde said. “When (the offensive line) is playing good, everything else is just easy for me, Braxton, the wide outs. It gives Braxton time to throw the ball.”

Miller has eclipsed his pass-

ing and rushing numbers from 2011 by a wide margin, and there are still two games remaining on the Buckeyes’ schedule. Miller’s 1,166 rushing yards rank him behind only Northern Illinois’ Jordan Lynch for FBS quarterbacks. Along with his 1,753 passing yards, Miller has singlehandedly outgained Illinois both rushing and passing on the season. With a passing and a rushing touchdown against the Illini, Miller has 27 total touchdowns compared with Illinois’ 21.

“Last year was a bad experience for the guys,” Miller said.

“The coaches came out here and the goal for the season was to make sure the seniors go out with a good chip on their shoulders.”

Despite being ineligible for postseason play, there is no mistaking that these Buckeyes want to run the table, something Illinois once had aspirations of more than a year ago. But the confidence of the Ohio State players after a 10-0 start eclipses anything the Illini achieved last year.

As Miller’s postgame interview neared an end, one reporter asked him what body part hurts most on Sunday mornings. He said, “Nothing.”

The room laughed yet again.

“No, really,” he said. “I take care of my body throughout the whole week and the training staff got me together, so I’m good.”

His Buckeyes aren’t bad either.

No. 8 Illini give complete effort against Bobcats

BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER

Facing its toughest matchup of the year, the Illinois hockey team was able to come away with a split against No. 2 Ohio (12-2-0) in front of a home crowd.

Despite the difference in rank, the No. 8 Illini (10-3-2) matched the intensity of the Bobcats in both games, with each game coming down to a matter of bounces.

Friday’s game was the most complete effort Illinois has played all year, as it played flawless defensive zone coverage en route to a shocking 5-0 victory over Ohio. Senior forward Scott Barrera led the team with two goals and junior goaltender Nick Clarke pitched his fi rst shutout of the year, stopping all 23 shots that came his way. Saturday’s contest saw the Bobcats take a close one 3-1.

“This is right up there in my

top-three wins of my career,” Clarke said. “This one was huge, especially at home. That was the biggest crowd we’ve had all year; the fans were into it, it was awesome.”

The key to Illinois’ dominant Game One victory was the shot blocking in the defensive zone, as the Illini blocked over 20 shots from getting to the net.

“That’s how we’re going to play every game going forward,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “Good teams are going to play in your end, they’re going to get chances to shoot. If you got guys blocking shots and willing to sacrifice their body, those pucks aren’t going to be able to go in.”

Ohio was able to beat Clarke for three goals on Saturday, while a flurry of chances from Illinois led to a series of near misses that could have resulted in a sweep for the Illini. Freshman forward John Olen scored

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B Scheelhaase said.

In many ways this season’s losing streak is as surprising as last season’s. Illinois boasted a top-10 defense in 2011 that was supposed to carry the team this season. However, the Illini have lost by at least two touchdowns in all six of its losses, by scores of 28, 28, 17, 45, 14 and 30.

After the game, Beckman noted how he felt a little different the last time he was behind the mic after playing at Ohio Stadium. Last year, Beckman’s Toledo team gave Ohio State a challenge before falling 27-22 .

Illinois looked like it could do much of the same in this game, taking a 3-0 lead at the start of the game and only trailing 7-6 after the fi rst quarter.

Then it all fell apart — largely because the Illini had no answer for the Buckeyes’ star quarterback Braxton Miller.

Illinois lost arguably its best player on defense in linebacker Jonathan Brown in the fi rst quarter with a shoulder injury. That forced the Illini to use two freshmen linebackers, Mason Monheim and Mike Svetina,

the only goal of the game for Illinois, fi ring a one-timer past the Bobcats’ goaltender late in the fi rst period.

Questionable officiating late in the third period resulted in a no-call on a potential Illini penalty shot that would have put the team within one goal. Junior forward Eddie Quagliata was pulled down from behind on a breakaway chance, which resulted in a missed shot taken from his knees.

“Sometimes you’re going to get the calls and sometimes you’re not,” Quagliata said. “It seemed to go their way a little bit this game, but I’m not going to complain about it or anything like that.”

When asked about the officiating, Fabbrini said the refereeing of the game was “a shame.”

“It’s unfortunate when refs try and make the game more about them than the players on the ice,”

to try and contain the Heisman trophy candidate.

“We don’t really look at each other and say, ‘Hey, we’re freshman,’ we look at each other and say, ‘Let’s do this,’” Monheim said. “He’s a great player, but anybody can make a big play when they have the opportunity.”

Miller took advantage and led the Buckeyes to 31 unanswered points.

He escaped the pocket when needed with his strength and agility to elude Illini defenders and fi nished with 18 rushes for 73 yards and a touchdown. When Illinois tried to bring extra men up to the line of scrimmage for Miller, he made them pay with his arm. He fi nished 12-for20 passing with 226 yards and two touchdowns.

In contrast was Illinois’ dual-threat quarterback Scheelhaase. While Miller was able to run free from defenders Scheelhaase was largely contained from creating big plays with his legs, 15 rushes for 59 yards with his longest run at 7 yards. He had seven more completions (19) than Miller and threw for 130 fewer yards with 96 total passing yards on the day.

Illinois has continued to struggle on offense, averaging 4.4 yards per play, the third worst in the NCAA.

MICHAEL BOJDA THE DAILY ILLINI

John Olen (16) snipes a slapshot past Ohio goalie Fedor Dushkin during the game against No. 2 Ohio at the Ice Arena Saturday night. he said. “I think that’s kind of what (referee) Flynn did tonight.

Fabbrini did not directly attribute the officiating to his team’s loss.

Beckman called the Illini offense too sporadic, they were out gained by Ohio State in total offense 567-170.

“We’ve got to be more consistent on offense,” Beckman said. “And have to be able to drive the football and be able to put seven points on the scoreboard in the red zone, and that’s what I’m used to.”

After the game, the Illini were much more upbeat and optimistic then in previous games, trying to take some positives from the blowout. Now the goal is to fi nish the season strong, with hopes to build for next season. The toughest part of the Illini’s schedule is out the way as they shift to the fi nal three games of the season.

Beckman said he was proud of his team’s mentality and that he hasn’t had to do much coaching up morale and keeping his players from losing faith.

“We’ve got to get better, that’s the most important thing,” he said. “I like to say: ‘The door’s locked in December in my house. I won’t be at home because my wife likes to go to bowl games.’”

But not this year.

Illinios football, Beckman can kiss Big Ten Championship goodbye

BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Lane to Lucas is closed.

After dropping its sixth straight game, the Illinois football team is now mathematically unable to catch Wisconsin in a Leaders Division race in which the top two teams — Ohio State and Penn State — are ineligible for postseason play.

Throughout the season, the Illini (2-7, 0-5 Big Ten) and head coach Tim Beckman have listed the Big Ten Championship on Dec. 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis as their primary goal.

But a 52-22 trouncing from Ohio State on Saturday put both the championship and a third-straight bowl game out of reach.

It’s been over a year since Tim Beckman’s Toledo team lost to Ohio State by five points, but when asked if his debut season struggles at Illinois have made it feel longer, Beckman joked, “What year is it?”

The Rockets stumbled in Beck-

man’s fi rst season at Toledo, but they still managed to win five games, something that seems like a long shot for an Illini squad that has lost every Big Ten game by at least two touchdowns.

“This bump might have been a little bit higher,” Beckman said. “But I’m in this profession for the kids. I had a bunch of kids come back that were former players that I coached here.

And that’s what you do it for. You do it for those kids, you get those text messages from those kids that wish you good luck and you’ll get out of it.”

While former head coach Ron Zook was fi red after an 0-6 slide to end last season, the Illini are still coming off back-to-back bowl victories and many expected them to at least contend in the Leaders Division this year.

Illinois’ struggles have many questioning the Beckman hire, but as the fi rst-year coach and his staff have repeatedly said this season, change takes time.

When Zook took over the program in 2005, the Illini went 4-19 in his first

BY NANCY ARMOUR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Tom Crabtree’s slow-motion chug up the field was fast enough to beat out two Arizona Cardinals defenders.

Crabtree tumbled into the end zone just ahead of Paris Lenon and William Gay for a 72-yard touchdown that was Green Bay’s longest of the season, and sealed the Packers’ 31-17 victory over the Cardinals.

Randall Cobb added two TD receptions and James Jones had his eighth scoring catch, a career-high, as the Packers handed Arizona its fifth straight loss.

The Packers (6-3) also fi nally got their running game going, fi nishing with a season-high 176 yards rushing on 39 carries.

It was the fi rst time in a month they’ve cracked the century mark.

Aaron Rodgers did not have his best game, going 14 of 30 for 218 yards. But he did break off a 25-yard run to help set up Green Bay’s first score, and jumped on a fumble to keep alive another scoring drive.

Green Bay goes into its bye week with a four-game winning streak. The break

“We played with a lot of heart (against Penn State). I think going into that game, we were all thinking that we were almost younger than them in the sense that Penn State was ranked so high,” Brown said.

“They’ve practiced hard, they study hard, they work hard,” Beckman said. “These seniors, nobody wants to be in this situation, but they are trying to do what they can to get out of this situation.”

The difficult part of the schedule is behind the Illini, who will welcome Minnesota and Purdue to Memorial Stadium before playing at Northwestern to close out the season.

Arizona (4-5) also has next weekend off, and will likely spend it wondering how to regroup after the skid that followed four straight victories to start the season. John Skelton threw for more than 300 yards, and he was able to pick apart the Green Bay defense for big gains time and again. But his receivers had too many drops, and the Packers did a good job bottling up Larry Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald fi nished with six catches for 74 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown.

Green Bay and Arizona last met in the 2010 NFC wild card game, a 51-45 Arizona victory that set playoff records for points, touchdowns (13) and yards (1,024).

But this was never going to be a repeat of that shootout, especially since the Packers came out determined to run the ball.

“They’re all critical,” Hambly said after the match. “If we didn’t get this one, it’s looking bleak.”
