ELECTIONS 2012

OBAMA RE-ELECTED Popular vote, Florida too close to call; Congress will remain divided next term

resident Barack Obama won re-election Tuesday night despite a fierce challenge from Republican Mitt Romney, prevailing in the face of a weak economy and high unemployment that encumbered his first term and crimped the middle class dreams of millions. Romney conceded to Obama in a phone call at about midnight. “This happened because of you. Thank you” Obama tweeted to supporters as he secured four more years in the White House. The president sealed his victory in Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire and Colorado, four of the nine battleground states where the two rivals and their allies spent nearly $1 billion on dueling television commercials. Ultimately, the result of the brawl of an election campaign appeared likely to be the political status quo. Democrats won two more years of control in the Senate, and, as of press time, Republicans were on track to do likewise in the House. Romney was in Massachusetts, his long and grueling bid for the presidency at an unsuccessful end. The two rivals were close in the popular vote. Romney had 53.6 million votes, or 49 percent. Obama had 54.5 million, 50 percent, as of 1:20 a.m. But Obama’s laser-like focus on battleground states gave him the majority in the electoral vote, where it mattered most. He had 303, or 33 more than needed for victory. Romney had 206. Yet to be settled was battleground state Florida. Here on campus, the Illini Democrats celebrated the victory of their candidate of choice. “We celebrated Obama being re-elected,” said organization President Shana Harrison. “There were some cheers and hugs and excitement. It was a great win to bring home for our team right now.” State Sen. Michael Frerichs, of the 52nd District in Champaign, shared their excitement. “I’m just very happy to hear that result,” Frerichs said Tuesday night. The College Republicans found strength in the gains that the House of Representatives made by obtaining control. “Well, Obama has been re-elected, and basically Gov. Romney and Ryan ran an excellent campaign. They

Davis defeats Gill in contested House race DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Republicans held on to their seat in Congress at the end of a contentious and expensive race in Illinois’ 13th District after The Associated Press called the election in favor of GOP candidate Rodney Davis. But the campaign for fourtime congressional candidate David Gill declined to concede the race as of press time, saying that uncounted votes could turn the tide of the election. “From what we now know from our discussions with coun-

ty clerks’ offices, there are a significant number of ballots still outstanding in Macon County,” said campaign manager Sherry Greenberg in a press release. “We believe we need to keep counting ballots.” But as of press time, 98 percent of the precincts in the 14 counties in the new district had been counted, with 131,471 voters siding with Davis, compared to 127,662 for Gill. Independent candidate John Hartman had mustered 20,630 votes. But at 46 percent of the vote,

Few incidents with student voting One voter was turned away, but on-campus voting otherwise went smoothly. A total of 4,295 people voted at campus sites. Page 5A

Incumbent Frerichs wins, praises campaign’s positivity BY CHRISSY PAWLOWSKI STAFF WRITER

Democratic incumbent Mike Frerichs won the state senate seat for the 52nd District and defeated Republican opponent John Bambenek on Tuesday. Bambenek conceded a little after 10:30 p.m. as precincts’ votes were announced at the Champaign County Clerk’s office, 1776 E. Washington St., Urbana. “I’m feeling great,” Frerichs said after Bambenek conceded. “It was a well-fought race. It was very pleasant, but it is good for it to finally be over.” Bambenek, though, was proud of his efforts throughout the campaign. “It was kind of an uphill battle,” he said. “Running against an incumbent always is. We did the best that we could, got our issues out there and have nothing to be ashamed of.” Bambenek said he was passionate about running because he wanted to put his ideas into action. “Illinois, I don’t think, is headed in the right direction,” he said. “It doesn’t change directions unless you

challenge the people who are there and get out your message, so I thought it was important to do that and see what happened.” Frerichs said that while he is glad the race is over, he was pleased with the quality of the race. “There were various accusations out there, but, by and large, it was a positive race,” he said. Now that the race has ended, Frerichs, who has served in the Illinois State Senate since 2007, plans to head back to work. “I think we’ll take a little bit of time to celebrate this victory,” he said. “But then it’s fairly soon that we’ll have to be back in Springfield, and I think one of the big issues out there right now is the governor’s veto of the gambling bill, which is becoming very important.” Frerichs will receive the Central Illinois Business Magazine’s Man of the Year award on Wednesday.

Circuit Clerk

Jakobsson re-elected, says she will help environment BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER

Democratic incumbent Naomi Jakobsson was re-elected Tuesday night to represent the people of the 103rd District in the Illinois House of Representatives. Jakobsson currently serves on the Appropriations Committee for Higher Education in the Illinois General Assembly and has sponsored several pieces of legislation in the past that are directly linked to University of Illinois students, according to the General Assembly website . “I’ve worked hard as a representative to represent this district and serve the constituents here,” Jakobsson said. Challenger Rob Meister ran against Jakobsson. Meister focused his campaign on “changing Illinois culture.” “One of the biggest problems we have is that young people are leaving in droves,” he said. “(They) find it very hard to find a job that will help (them) pay off (their) student loans, so then — not by choice but almost

by force — young people have to start looking at other states.” Jakobsson said that in her next twoyear term she will continue to work on four priorities: affordable higher education, accessible health care, tax reform and the environment. Jakobsson said she wants to ensure students can afford college by sending as much money as possible to the Monetary Assistance Program. Regarding the environment, Jakobsson said she is currently working on “important bills,” including House Bill 6153. The bill would prevent a chemical waste called polychlorinated biphenyl, or PCB, from being dumped into the Clinton Landill, located above an aquifer that supplies water to Champaign-Urbana. “The environment has always been one of my priorities and will continue to be,” Jakobsson said. “In fact I’m working on a couple of very important bills right now.”

UI students take in election-night results BY CORINNE RUFF STAFF WRITER

Patriotic sprinkles decorated blue frosted cupcakes, and longneck bottles lined the tables of the cozy lit apartment. Student senators slouched on plushy couches with CNN playing in the background, debating what the best fried chicken was around and which swing states they thought would turn red or blue. “It’s natural,” student trustee David Pileski said at the viewing party. “We’re in a closed area where we all know each other’s beliefs and are comfortable. Politics is very personal, and to be able to talk to close friends about this election is the way to enjoy a memorable night.” Members of the student senate weren’t the only students to tune in to the presidential election results Tuesday night. Some students watched the results roll in from the comfort of their couches and the convenience of their laptops. Eddie Gonzales, junior in LAS, said he kept an eye on the election results through Politico.com. Many registered student organizations also met at campus buildings to watch the results together. The College Democrats attended a local viewing party at Laborer’s Union Hall, sponsored by states Sen. Mike Frerichs, D-52, and state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-103. Shana Harrison, president of the RSO and senior in LAS, said their members are supporters of the local candidates and watched the results together to show their support. “We took our students out there to enjoy meeting strong Democrats in Champaign

County and to eat some good food and enjoy our night,” she said. The College Republicans also attended an off-campus event, hosted by state Rep. Chapin Rose, R-110. Despina Batson, president of the RSO and senior in LAS, said members watched the results of the election with county candidates. “The county party invited us to their victory celebration, which was off-campus, and we attended as one large team,” she said. “This year we were hand-in-hand with the county party, so it’s a great way for us to come together and watch the polls and have a good celebration.” The Political Science Club also met Tuesday night on campus. Max Balkan, executive board member of the club and sophomore in Business, said they switched the day their club met so they could watch the results together. Balkan said the club has been discussing the election during its weekly meetings, and he has made several predictions about how the results of the election would turn out by using a mapping website. “I’m expecting Obama to win by 30 to 40 electoral votes,” he said. Many students, hoping to get homework done in the Union, unexpectedly found themselves engaged in the CNN broadcast in the Courtyard Cafe, courtesy of the Illini Union Board. “I was at the Union already, and I had to get some work done,” said Jay Banerjee, senior in Engineering. “Then I saw (the election results) were on and I started watching.”

cancers. What first started as a small effort to raise awareness about male cancers could become a powerful and episodic gesture to the youth’s community about one’s masculinity, through No Shave November. The competitive nature in people urges them to take on the challenge. And just like the gallon challenge or the cinnamon challenge, No Shave November gives its participants a competitive high. The nature of No Shave November lends itself really well to anyone and everyone who wants make and meet a personal goal — especially to anyone who wants to brag about his manliness. But, gentlemen, I guarantee that your fantastic facial hair will be even more of a beacon of your masculinity to all of the world and the lovely ladies you care to entice if you’re also aware of Movember’s story. Heck, if you register through Movember and back up the cause, you top even The Most Interesting Man in The World. No Shave November is a glorious time of year — but let’s partake in the festivities and not neglect its roots. (And ladies, try to be openminded about the patches of fur on the gentlemen. It’s for a good cause.)

very presidential campaign is touted as the most important of our lifetime. Although this claim is often discarded as hyperbolic and false, it hit me yesterday that it is absolutely the truth. If you look at each election as a battle between two candidates with two different visions, some are definitely more important than others, which, by default, means not every single election is the most important of our lifetime. However, if you assess an election by looking at the process itself, each one becomes more important and more consequential as we move further and further away from the very first presidential election. You see, the more time that separates us from the beginning of our quest for a more perfect union, the more pressure is put on the foundation of our democracy. This was a startling realization for me to have on Election Day because I am a shameless political junkie. This means that, typically, elections are more of a sport to me. Aside from considering the issues and what ramifications each candidate’s views may have for the country, I really thrive off of the poll analysis, political theater and incessant speculation surrounding a campaign. In modern times, that can mean a roughly two-year-long season for the sport of presidential politics. So with that, one would think that Tuesday, for me, was all about the speculation, guessing games and blind predictions that come on Election Day. To be perfectly honest, I started the day with the mind-set of a junkie by waking up at an earlier-than-normal time to catch the morning talk show analysis of the final day of campaigning. While watching, I scrolled through my usual news sources to see what Nate Silver of The New York Times among many of his fellow junkies were projecting. Once I satisfied my speculative fix, I showered and headed over to my polling place to cast my first-ever federal election ballot — my first ballot cast was during the 2010 mid-term elections, but that, being a midterm, did not have the same excitement and intensity surrounding it. After checking in and receiving my ballot, I excitedly scurried into the cloaked booth. Once inside, the magnitude of what I was about to do hit me. Gone were the poll numbers, talking heads and daily campaign happenings. The minute I stepped into the booth I was no longer a crazed political junkie. Instead, I was a proud citizen of the United States of America doing the only thing more American than eating a slice of apple pie. In that moment, the names of the candidates (although important) did not matter as much as the fact that there was, well, a choice. The simple yet powerful concept of “choice” is what our Founding Fathers sought to establish in the early days of the country. Since then, the United States has seen an endless string of challenges, triumphs and uncertainty, but through it all, one thing is certain — the power has remained in the hands of the people. Nations have risen and fallen, and they have struggled to match the prosperity and liberty that we have in the United States. As a country, we do not fully grasp how lucky we are to be afforded such freedoms. Instead, we have become a divided nation that puts partisan politics above shared interests and the common good. The voices pointing out our differences have managed to become much louder than those calling for compromise and the effects are being felt both in Washington, D.C., and across the country. Well, at least that is what the talking heads and political junkies want you to think. While the nature of presidential elections may seem divisive, the process itself is one way in which we are all united. There are no Democrat or Republican-specific polling places, lines or booths. Instead, these common areas facilitate the one thing we all share — choice. And, as cheesy and cliche as it may sound, we, as Americans, were all winners yesterday. The opportunity to have our voices heard within the sacred walls of a polling booth may be a right in this country, but it is a privilege for the world at large. So no matter whether your candidate was victorious, you must realize the magnitude of your vote both in the context of this election and in the larger journey toward that perfect union.

ou were probably expecting to read about the election here today. No, instead I’m going to talk about the DI Fact-Check Contest, which ended its first iteration in October and will continue into November. One thing the contest has shown us — and it’s one of the reasons you’ll have to wait till tomorrow for a presidential-themed editorial — is that we make several factual errors, whether it’s because we edit late at night or we just had poor planning and lack of time. For example, I was rewriting a caption about the pole-dancing club on campus, and I, of course, spelled it “poll-dancing.” (See, there’s some election stuff for you.) Yeah, it’s a little mistake, but little, sloppy mistakes like those take away some of the story’s credibility, although it was no fault of the writer or photographer. These little mistakes matter even more when we write about politics and more “newsy” subjects. At the very beginning of the contest, a reader pointed out that one of our articles referred to Tim Johnson as a “three-term congressman.” Johnson, who was first elected in 2000, is almost done with his sixth term in Congress. Again, mistakes like those seem small, but when we get small things wrong, the credibility of the whole article is questioned. And that’s why The Daily Illini is going to continue the contest. We’ve run more corrections this past month than in any I can remember, and that’s good. I’d rather we not make errors, but when we do mess up, we have to fix them. You readers have proved to be excellent watchdogs, and I hope you’ll continue to keep us honest. In October, I got almost 20 responses to the contest. Most of these corrections were on stories that came in late or had to be rewritten late at night. Which brings me back to the presidential election: Because of the DI’s printing schedule, it would be almost impossible for us to write a thoughtful, factual editorial before we had to send the opinions page to the printer. We considered writing an “Obama wins” editorial and a “Romney wins” editorial, but there were too many variables. What if it takes Florida and Ohio till 1 a.m. to count their votes? What if there’s an electoral tie? What if there’s an automatic recount? What if one of the candidates wins the Electoral College and loses the popular vote? No, instead of risking a subpar editorial that could be rife with factual errors, we’re going to hold judgment until tomorrow. (I’m sure you all remember a picture of Harry Truman holding a newspaper that said “DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN” from your U.S. history classes. We try to avoid those moments here.) So remember: If you see something wrong in the DI, email factcheck@dailyillini.com and you could win a gift card to Noodles & Company. And you’ll have the smug satisfaction of knowing you were right.

World would vote Obama ... and US? SARAH FISCHER Opinions columnist

he BBC conducted a 21,000-person poll of 21 nations asking the question, “If the world could vote in U.S. presidential elections, who would win?” Turns out it’s President Obama, and by a wide margin. On average, 50 percent favored Obama, while only 9 percent preferred Gov. Romney. Out of the 21 countries surveyed, all but one would grant the president another four years in office. The one favoring Romney? Pakistan, although Kenya had the highest percentage of individuals voting for Romney. Both France and Spain re-elected the president by the largest margin; in France he won 72 percent of the electorate. This result, however, raises the question of why the world wants to see Obama continue to lead the United States. There are a few possible reasons: better for them, better for us or better for everyone. Now certainly none of these are exclusive, and all have their dichotic equal (i.e “worse for us”), but let’s focus on those three countries on the extreme ends of the spectrum. France and Spain “re-elected” President Obama by the largest margin over any of the other countries. In May, France, a republic, elected Francois Hollande over Nicolas Sarkozy, making him the second Socialist elected to the French presidency. Mr. Hollande laid out a national budget in September to cut the public deficit by increasing the top tax rate to 75 percent for those whose incomes exceed $1.3 million. France is at zero-growth, the

trade deficit sits at record levels, and industrial confidence is the lowest it’s been in three years. Interestingly, the French election in May seems to mirror the choice many Americans feel they face today: Pick the new guy because the old guy isn’t working like we thought he would. Those who decry Mr. Obama as a socialist himself will make an immediate connection between the French and the popularity of Obama. However, it is important to note that, at the time the BBC survey was conducted, the French were not entirely please with Hollande’s government: 64 percent of the French said they were unhappy, and only 10 percent believed that France had shown improvement since his inauguration. Clearly something else is driving the Obama “vote.” Spain’s economic picture looks worse than France’s. Unemployment is at 24.4 percent, and Spanish debt has been downgraded by Standard and Poor’s to “near junk status.” Much of the deficit trouble has been inflated by regional debt. Each of Spain’s 17 regions is semiautonomous, much like a U.S. state: They regulate and run education, the police force, health and social services, and economic and cultural development. Catalonia alone requested $23 billion in emergency funding. Both of these countries have strong central governments, have universal health care, allow same-sex marriage, have legalized abortion and have a drinking age of 18. Neither is doing particularly well at the moment, yet both, overwhelmingly, supported Barack Obama. On the other end of the political spectrum is Pakistan, the only country to elect Romney in the BBC survey. Pakistan has many problems, many of which have fallen through the cracks in West-

ern media’s net. In the last two years the country has fought not only external enemies but sectarian terrorist groups that attack minorities. Apart from the those threats, Pakistan has had massive flooding and an electricity shortage that caused chronic blackouts and forced the government to restrict power. The shortage hit an all-time high in 2011. Pakistan struggles as a result of the global economic crisis too. In 2010, its deficit was the highest in the country’s history and only looks to get bigger. Though Pakistan was created as an explicitly Muslim state, the battle between its Islamic and secular parts has never been as prominent as it has been in recent years. Homosexual acts are illegal, and members of the LGBT community have no civil rights to protect them. Pakistan is divided radically among gender lines, relegating its women to positions only under men — if they are allowed to hold positions at all. But these conservative positions are slowly changing. Certainly the continuous drone attacks under President Obama make him an unfavorable candidate as president. But Romney has supported the use of those same drones. Regardless of who is president, though, policy toward Pakistan is unlikely to change. With the election over, every American — or at least the percent of Americans who do vote — had the opportunity to cast the ballot for who they think will point America in the correct direction to keep it on pace with the rest of the world. The world itself has spoken, loudly and in great volume to keep Barack Obama in office. Today we see if Americans are in agreement.

Back up that No Shave November scruff with a donation to Movember NORA IBRAHIM Opinions columnist

olks, as I sped from class to class on Election Day, keeping note of all the Facebook friends I had who were voting and encouraging us all to vote, I grew increasingly aware of a particular manly feature that had, until now, escaped my notice: the scruffiness, the patches of fur and the five o’clock shadows that have now taken humble abode on many a man’s chin. Oh yes. One week in, No Shave November is flourishing at its prime. Some guys are trying to tame the scruff, and others have already surrendered to the heat of the beard. And there’s always that one friend whose robust, full beard had already settled in on Day Two of the festivities. But as burly and masculine some of the partakers try to be, they aren’t nearly of the same caliber of man as the ones who know where the whole cultural phenomenon started. No Shave November grew out of a charity called Movember — growing mustaches in November — started in 2003 as a way to raise awareness about prostate and testicular cancer initiatives. Men in the challenge start off with

a clean shave on Nov. 1, then let the facial hair do its thing until Dec. 1. By registering at us.movember.com, participants, referred to as Mo Bros, raise funding for research in male cancers, a most noble effort. And as Movember’s website reads, its participants get to “trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery.” Every year, more and more of these gentlemen (and gentlewomen) have registered with Movember. In 2011, more than 854,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas signed on board, raising over $126.3 million. (It’s a considerable jump from the 450 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas who signed up in 2004, raising over $50 thousand.) The amount of funding this group has accumulated is outstanding, and it contributes greatly to the organizations they raise the money for, such as the Prostate Cancer Foundation, Livestrong and the Global Action Plan. Although not affiliated with Movember, what may be most impressive about No Shave November is the pop cultural and socio-cultural impact it makes across the world annually — without fail. As sure as I can be of a Christmas every year, I know there will be troops of hairy men marching around campus. Especially if they sign up and raise money, they could be using their faces as a public announcement on behalf of male

ELECTIONS 2012

Campus voting goes mostly smoothly A

total of 4,295 residents of the University of Illinois and its surrounding areas came to vote at one of the eight polling precincts on campus. But that number shows a lagging amount of voters; the total turnout rate of registered voters was 46.6 percent at campus precincts, lower than 2008’s national average of 61 percent.

Voters flocked to the polls on Tuesday — some coming from more than 130 miles away. Dina Allen, alumna and former employee of the University, came all the way from Chicago to vote in Champaign. Allen said she had moved to Chicago recently, past the cut-off date to change her address. “I just didn’t want to chance it,” Allen said, when asked why she didn’t attempt to vote in Chicago. Allen said she drove a rental car down from Chicago and stayed the night with friends in Champaign. She said she used a website to find her designated polling place at McKinley Foundation, 809 S. Fifth St., Champaign. “The information wasn’t accurate,” she said, after being turned away and directed to Holy Cross Catholic Church, 405 W. Clark St., Champaign.

The line of voters snaked out of the computer lab and throughout the lobby of the Student Dining and Residential Programs building midday Tuesday, as students waited to cast their vote. It was “a little longer than I would like,” said Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten, who was stationed at the building around 3 p.m. Around that time, 413 voters had cast their ballots, which Hulten viewed as a “great turnout.” Abbey Sroka, a fifth-year senior in AHS, said she was “pleasantly surprised” about the length of the line, as she thinks it is important for students to vote. “Especially at this age, it is important because this is going to be the next four years of our lives,” Sroka said. “It’s our future.”

For the last 10 years, Scott Dossett, a retired University of Illinois employee, has been showing up at 5 a.m. on Election Day to take his post as an election judge; this year, his designated polling place location was Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Hall in Urbana. Dossett said he remembers going to the Illini Union back in 2008, where he used sets of alphabetized books to validate 1,350 voters by hand, but now a new computerized system makes the process much easier. “This system allows us to type in the first couple of letters of the first and last name, and bang, they are up there on the screen,” he said.

The only option Fleener had was to make it to his hometown of Lincoln, Ill., by 7 p.m. to vote. “I wish they’d make it a little easier, like maybe make it statewide registration or something like that, but it’s alright,” he said.

Various voting mishaps both remedied and clarified in election aftermath BY CURT ANDERSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Voters in key states such as Florida and Virginia waited in long lines hours after polls closed Tuesday night to cast ballots, even as politicians and their supporters urged them not to give up despite the long delays. Candidates turned to social media to encourage voters through the long wait. “#StayInLine #StayInLine #StayInLine” Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin tweeted. The three states allow voters who were in line when polls closed to cast ballots. High turnout rather than glitches or problems appeared to be the cause of the

long lines, but there were plenty of other problems around the country. Many were in Pennsylvania, including a confrontation involving Republican inspectors over access to some polls and a voting machine that lit up for Republican Mitt Romney even when a voter pressed the button for President Barack Obama. One Florida elections office mistakenly told voters in robocalls the election was on Wednesday. The Election Protection coalition of civil rights and voting access groups said they had gotten more than 80,000 complaints and questions on a toll-free voter protection hotline. “The calls have been hot and heavy all

day long,” said Barbara Arnwine, president of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Aside from the lines and scattered other scattered problems with voter access and machine failures, there didn’t appear to be any wholesale disenfranchisement of voters, few tense confrontations among poll monitors and no major instances of election fraud. “Despite the shameful attempts to suppress voting, voters are standing up,” said Bob Edgar, president and chief executive of Common Cause. Still, Election Day was far from glitchfree. And voters faced a whole different set of challenges in parts of New York

and New Jersey ravaged by Superstorm Sandy. In Philadelphia, the Republican Party said 75 legally credentialed voting inspectors were blocked from polling places in the heavily Democratic city, prompting the GOP to obtain a court order providing them access. Local prosecutors were also looking into the reports. Democratic Party officials did not immediately return a message seeking comment. Also in Pennsylvania, Department of State spokesman Ron Ruman said the voting machine in the central part of the state that switched a person’s vote from Obama to Romney has been recalibrated and is back in service. Video of what Ruman

called a “momentary glitch” was widely viewed on YouTube. Pennsylvania was also the scene of what a state Common Cause official called “widespread” confusion over voter ID requirements. The state this year enacted a new photo ID requirement but it was put on hold for Tuesday’s election by a judge amid concern many voters would not be able to comply in time. Barry Kauffman, executive director of Common Cause in Pennsylvania, said election workers in many places were demanding IDs even though they are not required. It was unclear, however, just how many voters may have been turned away or discouraged.

OBAMA

FROM PAGE 1A had a ton of support, and unfortunately, America chose otherwise,” said organization President Despina Batson. “But, we kept the house, and we still have that strong hold, and it will be a very interesting next four years.” Republican candidate for state representative Rob Meister looked to citizens to put the country — and Obama — on the right track. “This is one of those elections where I know a lot of people disagree, but I feel like we (Americans) can’t lose,” Meister said. “What we need to do is pull them in one direction or another.” During his acceptance speech, Obama said the American people have “picked ourselves up” and fought back during tough economic times, declaring after winning re-election that the “best is yet to come.” “The task of protecting our union moves forward,” he said. “It moves forward because of you.” Obama said he wants to meet with Republican rival Romney

to discuss how they can work together. He said they may have “battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply.” Romney reciprocated, congratulating the man who he had campaigned against for more than a year. Earlier, he raced to Ohio and Pennsylvania for Election Day campaigning and projected confidence as he flew home to Massachusetts. He gave his concession speech just after midnight. “This election is over, but our principles endure,” he said in the speech. He said the nation is at a critical point and urged Americans not to engage in partisan bickering. “I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation,” he added.

Democrats win Senate narrowly Statements by GOP hopefuls damage chances BY DONNA CASSATA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Democrats won a narrow majority in the Senate on Tuesday, snatching Republican-held seats in Massachusetts and Indiana and turning back fierce, expensive challenges in Virginia, Ohio and Connecticut to maintain the control they’ve held since 2007. With a third of the Senate up for election, Republicans were undone by candidate stumbles, with GOP hopefuls in Missouri and Indiana uttering clumsy statements about rape and abortion that did severe damage to their chances and the party’s hopes of taking over.

The losses of Senate seats in Massachusetts and Indiana, combined with independent Angus King’s victory in the Republican-held Maine seat, put the GOP too far down in their already uphill climb. Democrats held open seats in Virginia, New Mexico and Wisconsin and were leading in North Dakota shortly before midnight. Republicans took the Nebraska seat as GOP candidate Deb Fischer denied former Sen. Bob Kerrey’s bid to return to the Capitol. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., spoke of conciliation. “Now that the election is over, it’s time to put politics aside and work together to fi nd solutions,” Reid said in a statement. “The strategy of obstruction, gridlock and delay was soundly rejected by the American people. Now they are looking to us for solutions.”

GOP likely victorious in House Expiration of Bush tax cuts, economic policies may be top issues in Congress BY ALAN FRAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Republicans had renewed control of the House within their grasp early Wednesday as the two parties traded gains from the Eastern seaboard to the Southwest. Shortly past midnight in the East, Democrats had knocked off nine GOP House members — including six members of the huge tea party-backed House GOP freshman class of 2010. That included four Republican incumbents from Illinois and one each from Maryland, Florida, New York, New Hampshire and Texas. Republicans nearly matched that as their candidates defeated one Democratic incumbent apiece in Kentucky, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. The GOP picked up an open seat each in Arkansas, Indiana, North Carolina and Oklahoma, seats that were held in this Congress by Democrats who retired or ran for another office. With almost two-thirds of the 435 House races called by The

Associated Press, Republicans had won 209 seats and were leading in 28 more. A party needs 218 seats to control the House. It seemed likely the party mix in the new House would resemble the current one, which Republicans control 242193, including two GOP and three Democratic vacancies. The pickups were so evenly divided that it was unclear if either party would add to its numbers overall. Democrats had taken 155 districts and led in 39 others. Even before renewed GOP control was clinched, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio — re-elected to his seat without opposition — claimed victory and laid down a marker for upcoming battles against President Barack Obama, who was re-elected to a second term in the White House. “The American people want solutions, and tonight they responded by renewing our House Republican majority,” he said at a gathering of Republicans in Washington. “The American people also

made clear there’s no mandate for raising tax rates.” One of the top fights when Congress returns for a postelection session this month will be over the looming expiration of income tax cuts first enacted a decade ago under President George W. Bush. Republicans want to renew them all, while President Barack Obama wants the cuts to expire for the highest-earning Americans. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., refused to concede. She told Democrats rallying a few blocks away from the GOP rally where Boehner spoke that by evening’s end, Democrats would end up “exceeding everyone’s expectations and perhaps achieving 25,” the number of added seats Democrats would need to gain House control. Though seven GOP freshmen were defeated, 65 of them were re-elected by early Wednesday morning in the East. Six others were leading in their races, but four were trailing. An exit poll of voters showed that just 21 percent said they backed the tea party, which had fueled the big GOP House gains in 2010. The GOP’s seemingly inevitable victory in the House was a contrast to how the party was per-

forming elsewhere on the national stage. Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney for the presidency, and Democrats hold onto control of the Senate. Democrats in Illinois controlled the redrawing of congressional districts after the latest Census, and the new lines proved too tough for several incumbent House Republicans. Conservative tea party freshmen Reps. Joe Walsh and Bobby Schilling lost, as did moderate freshman Robert Dold and seven-term veteran Judy Biggert, a social moderate. Other losing GOP freshmen were Rep. David Rivera of Florida, who was hurt by investigations into his past campaign financing; Ann Marie Buerkle of New York, who lost to the Democrat she defeated in 2010, Dan Maffei; and New Hampshire Republican Charlie Bass, ousted by Ann Kuster, the Democrat he defeated narrowly two years ago; and Francisco Canseco of Texas. In Maryland Democrats defeated 10-term GOP veteran Rep. Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland in a race that was preordained after Democrats controlling the state legislature added more Democratic suburbs near Washington to his western Maryland district.

DAVIS

FROM PAGE 1A this is the closest Gill has come to clinching the Congressional seat, after the 2010 redistricting that observers said made the new 13th district significantly more competitive for Democrats. In 2010, Gill lost to incumbent Tim Johnson, R-15, with only 36 percent of the vote. The competitiveness of this district was driven by the amount of outside spending that fl owed into the district — more than $7 million of it. Leading those numbers was the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which gave $2.76 million for advertisements opposing Davis. The conservative group American Action Network Inc. had spent about $1.48 million on advertisements opposing Gill. The candidates still raised money on their own; as of the most recent Federal Election Commission report released Oct. 17, Davis received more than $1 million and spent more than $840,000. Gill also received more

than $1 million and spent more than $930,000, while Hartman spent about $8,000. The race was even closer leading up to the election when expected incumbent Johnson dropped out of the race soon after the Republican primaries in April, saying he no longer wished to make the personal sacrifices that came along with the office. In Champaign County, Gill was favored with 57 percent of voters in favor of Gill versus 37 percent for Davis and 7 percent for Hartman. These numbers were much higher for Gill than in 2010, when Gill also lagged in the county to Urbana-native Johnson with 44 percent of the vote versus Johnson’s 56. In his victory speech, Davis thanked his family for their support. “I love you all very much,” he said. “You’re the reason I ran for this office, you’re the reason I’m going to Washington, D.C. to make some of the tough decisions that need to be made.”

Election includes historic votes on US social policy BY DAVID CRARY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

While the general election might not break the partisan gridlock in Congress, it resulted in historic changes for U.S. social policy: Several states have embraced the chance to be the first to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote and to legalize recreational use of marijuana. Dating back to 1998, same-sex marriage has been rejected in all 32 states that have held popular votes on the issue. Gay-rights advocates believed they had a chance to break that streak as Maine, Maryland and Washington voted on ballot measures to legalize same-sex marriage, and Minnesota voted on whether to place a ban on gay marriage in the state constitution. Marijuana legalization was on the ballot in Washington, Oregon and Colorado; each measure would allow adults to possess small amounts of pot under a regimen of state regulation and taxation. The Oregon proposal had lagged as of press time, but the Washington and Colorado measures had been approved by significant margins.

Wednesday, November 7, 2012

The measures, if officially passed, would set up a direct challenge to federal drug law. Washington had 55 percent of voters support the measure. In Arkansas and Massachusetts, voters were deciding whether to allow marijuana use for medical reasons, as 17 states have done previously. Arkansas voted against legalizing medicinal marijuana, while Massachusetts strongly voted in favor of legalizing it at 63 percent, with 91 percent of precincts reporting. All four elections on samesex marriage were expected to be close. In Maine, the latest poll showed gay-marriage supporters with a 13 percentage point lead, down from a 21 point lead in September. Maine’s referendum marked the first time that same-sex marriage supporters put the issue to a popular vote. They collected enough signatures over the summer to schedule the vote, hoping to reverse the outcome of a 2009 referendum that quashed a samesex marriage law enacted by the Legislature. The measure was approved by voters by a margin of

53 percent in favor at press time when 77 percent precincts in the state were reported. In both Maryland and Washington, same-sex marriage laws were approved by lawmakers and signed by the governors earlier this year, but opponents gathered enough signatures to challenge the laws. Maryland passed the measure, and Washington upheld the referendum regarding samesex marriage. In Minnesota, the question was whether the state would join 30 others in placing a ban on gay marriage in its constitution. Even if the ban is defeated, same-sex marriage would remain illegal in Minnesota under statute. As of press time, the margin between the measure passing was narrow — 49 percent of voters had voted yes when 71 percent of precincts were reporting. Same-sex marriage is legal in six states and the District of Columbia — in each case the result of legislation or court orders, not by a vote of the people.

Economy concerns voters Exit polls say brighter economic future propelled president’s win over Romney BY CONNIE CASS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Voters who feel the economic outlook brightening after years of misery and believe Barack Obama better understands people like themselves propelled the president to a second term, exit polls show. Mitt Romney suffered from being labeled a champion of the wealthy over the common man. Americans interviewed as they left their polling places Tuesday were in wide agreement that the economy is still in sorry shape. But they were less likely to blame Obama than to point the finger at his predecessor, George W. Bush. Their biggest worries: chronic unemployment, hovering just under 8 percent, and rising prices. Still, 4 in 10 said the battered economy is starting to do better. And Obama won 88 percent of their votes, according to the poll conducted for The Associated Press and television networks. “Obama had a lot to deal with when he came to office,” said Lansing, Mich., voter William Mullins. “You can’t change everything overnight.” The 3 in 10 who feel the economy is getting worse voted just as overwhelmingly for Romney. But the Obama campaign’s portrayal of the multimillionaire businessman as bent on helping his wealthy peers was too much to overcome: 53 percent said Romney would favor the rich and only 34 percent thought his policies would do more for middle-class America. Almost no one thought Romney would be good for the poor. “I don’t think Romney understands people who are down and out,” said Cari Herling, an insurance analyst from Sun Prairie, Wisc. In contrast, three-fourths of voters said Obama’s policies favored the middle class or the poor. Romney’s central message — that Obama had failed after four years of trying to fix things —

DRINKOCRACY

BY CANDICE NORWOOD ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

or those with an interest in our political process, the months leading up to a presidential election can be tense, exciting and emotionally draining. This year’s race had its fair share of mudslinging and polarized opinions; however last night it all came to and end. Whether you are celebrating a victory or mourning your candidate’s loss, we can all enjoy these politically themed drinks and cheers (finally) to the end of the election.

This is another sweettasting selection that requires just a little scientific thinking. Take a glass and layer the bottom with grenadine. Next, gently layer the blue curacao and then the schnapps after that.

Grenadine Blue curacao Peach schnapps

Grenadine Orange juice Patrón (tequila)

Rum Coffee liqueur Half & half

Bailey’s Irish cream Butterscotch schnapps Cinnamon schnapps Rum Lighter

This is a fruity combination with a reddish tint for those of you seeking to display your Republican pride — you can still enjoy it even if you’re on the other end of the spectrum. Just combine the ingredients to your liking.

There’s no doubt that the economy has been a hot issue for this presidential race. Shake the Bailey’s, butterscotch and cinnamon schnapps together and pour into a glass. Put a light layer of rum over the top of the mixture and use the lighter to ignite the rum. Let it burn for a few moments before blowing out the flame and quickly taking the shot.

Salute our commander-in-chief with this creamy coffee drink. After staying up late to see the outcome of the race, anything coffee-related would probably be appreciated.

Egwu has big shoes to fill after Leonard’s departure BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER

See that hole? It’s more of an absence than anything, in the painted areas at both ends of the court at Assembly Hall, under the basket, on the block. It’s a hole that was once filled by a 7-footer who was drafted as the 11th selection in the NBA Draft this year by the Portland Trail Blazers. A 7-footer who averaged 8.2 rebounds, 13.6 points, a 58.4 field goal percentage and nearly two blocks per game. His name was Meyers Leonard. But Leonard departed for the professional ranks, and someone must fill the hole in the frontcourt on the Illinois men’s basketball team. That role will fall to sophomore Nnanna Egwu, who is not quite 7 feet and isn’t going to be drawing NBA scouts to Illinois games this season. But Egwu’s calling card isn’t NBA potential. He’s a guy that will do 13 pushups when the workout only calls for 10. He will beg coaches for DVDs of footage to become a better student of a game. His effort was so extraordinary in the offseason that head coach John Groce singled him out in the first news conference of the year as a player who went above and beyond in search of

improvement and excellence. Egwu isn’t all hustle, though. He runs a mile in 5 minutes, 20 seconds and has long arms to help him snare rebounds. His offensive game is nuanced, with a fadeaway post move and consistent jump shot to complement his low–post frame. In one practice, Egwu made 73-of-100 3-pointers. “If you’re an old school guy and think because he’s 6-11, that he should be on either block for 40 straight minutes, you may not appreciate or like his game as much,” Groce said. “I’m not going to say we’re going to play him (on the perimeter) all the time. But we’re going to move him around.” Egwu said he’s spent time in skill workouts on his long-range shooting, but that’s hardly the location where he wants to do the most damage. “That’s not my primary way of scoring,” Egwu said. “Obviously, you want to go down low and get points under the basket because that opens up everything for everyone else.” The offseason tenacity displayed by Egwu was apparent in the Orange and Blue Scrimmage in which the sophomore center scored 14 points on 7-of-9 shooting and worked tirelessly in his 26 minutes for rebounds — grabbing

six — and loose balls. But in the first two exhibition games, Egwu totaled only seven points and was hampered by foul trouble. Groce wasn’t displeased by Egwu’s performance in either contest, noting that his 11 rebounds against West Chester were worthy contributions. The head coach wanted him to commit smarter fouls, ones above the shoulders in an attempt to block a shot. The inconsistency is a question mark for Egwu after hardly playing meaningful minutes his freshman year, and Groce wants to see the hard work from the offseason manifest itself during regular-season contests. “With a young man like (Egwu), you just hope that he gets to experience some dividends or the fruits of his labor, in terms of what he’s sacrificed and the extraordinary commitment he’s made to our basketball program,” Groce said. Ultimately, Egwu won’t have to share the frontcourt load all on his own. Graduate student Sam McLaurin and senior Tyler Griffey will provide experience where Egwu lacks. Leonard isn’t talked about by this Illini group often. He’s a remnant from the past, a past that Groce has tried to distance himself with, already on the road to a new future. Egwu figures to be

he “Doug Martin for Fantasy Hall of Fame” campaign posters have already been printed. Analyzing Martin’s statline — 272 total yards, four touchdowns — requires a double-take. You could have trotted out the Cleveland Browns of lineups this week, including Christian “still a bust” Ponder, Jermichael “one catch” Finley and a defense on bye, but if you had Martin, you still won. Where did this guy come from? Literally, Boise State University. Figuratively, nowhere. Through seven games, Martin found himself in the midst of an average, middling rookie season for the Bucs. He was a decent fantasy option at running back, but it was understood that if you were forced to start him every week, your team needed help. What changed? Was it the bad defenses he faced? Did the blocking schemes change? Is Martin’s family currently held hostage and he’s playing for their freedom? Something must account for this shift. Before Week Seven, he had two touchdowns. Now he has eight. Only 18 running backs have produced as many fantasy points this entire season as Martin has produced the past two weeks. I vaguely remember fantasy outbursts of this magnitude in the past, but those games came from big-name guys like Adrian Peterson , Chris Johnson (he’s garbage now, but in 2007? Whoa.), Shaun Alexander, etc. Never from some mid-major rookie who suddenly decided to fi nd the endzone. So, when it comes down to brass tacks, I’m not sold on Martin. I think this is nothing more than a fl ash in the pan. A radiant, glowing fl ash that fi lls you with joy and warmth, but a fl ash, nonetheless. Sell high on Martin. His value will never be higher than it is right now. You could fl ip him for a top

Illini breeze past Concordia 120-29 in Tuesday’s game Women’s basketball starts season off with 2 victories in a row BY MICHAEL WONSOVER STAFF WRITER

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois' Kersten Magrum grabs a rebound during the Illini's 120-29 win over Concordia at Assembly Hall on Tuesday.

After a 52-point victory in its first exhibition game against Marian, the Illini didn’t do much wrong. After a decided win in their first tune-up game, the Illini managed to have an even better showing in its 120-29 win over Division III Concordia (Ill.) on Tuesday. The Illini dictated the tempo of the game from the start. Five minutes into the first half, the Illini already led 10-0, forced nine turnovers and allowed only one field goal attempt. The rest of the half didn’t go much better for the Cougars. The Illini led by 52 at halftime, matching the same margin of victory as last week’s win over Marian. Concordia mustered only 13 points by halftime and had less field goals made as a team (four) than Illini sophomore point guard Alexis Smith (six). At times, the Division III Cougars had trouble even advancing the ball past half court. On one

play in particular, the Illini held Concordia in the backcourt for 22 seconds before forcing a turnover that led to an easy layup. The Illini have forced 93 turnovers in its two exhibition games combined and won by an average margin of victory of 71.5 points per game. Smith led the Illini once again, following up her 19-point performance with a 17-point, eight-assist effort. Sophomore Taylor Tuck provided a spark off the bench, leading all scorers with 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field. Senior forward Karisma Penn, who racked up seven steals in the first exhibition game, grabbed another five steals and also finished with 14 points and eight rebounds. Even after a 91-point rout in which the Illini only allowed 29 points, head coach Matt Bollant was disappointed with the team’s communication on the defensive end. “The one thing that was really glaring was our inability to talk and unwillingness to talk on the defensive end,” Bollant said. “That’s something we’ve got to get better.” Smith is beginning to develop regularity with the new fast-paced offense.

“Very comfortable,” Smith low,” Magrum said. “Just keep said of how she feels in Bollant’s an even keel and go in every offensive scheme. “I really like it day and work hard. Just work a lot.

The big 10 of the

Leaders race wrapping up; Legends continue to battle 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.

All six teams are still within reach of the division with three weeks remaining. Nebraska and Michigan have the lead at 4-1 while Northwestern trails by one game, Iowa by two, Michigan State by two and a half and Minnesota by three.

Still rolling

Finish line The Leaders Division race could be settled this weekend in Bloomington, Ind. The Hoosiers control their own destiny as they take on Wisconsin. A Badgers’ win would clinch the division title while an Indiana win would keep the Hoosiers in the mix for at least another week. Purdue and Illinois have both played themselves out of contention with zero Big Ten victories, and the top two teams, Ohio State and Penn State, are ineligible for postseason play.

Ways to go While the two-team Leaders Division battle may come to a close this weekend, the Legends Division race is far from over.

With a 52-22 victory over Illinois, Ohio State became the first team in the NCAA to reach double-digit victories. The undefeated, 10-win Buckeyes are rolling this season under new head coach Urban Meyer and are the highest-ranked Big Ten team in the AP polls.

Sportsmanlike conduct Two Big Ten players, Rex Burkhead of Nebraska and Adam Replogle of Indiana, were named among the 10 finalists for the Awards and Recognition Association Sportsmanship Award. The award is given to the player “who best personifies the spirit of sportsmanship,” and will be announced later this year.

Game to watch Northwestern at Michigan — The Wildcats are fighting to keep pace in the Legends Division and the Wolverines are in their way. With a win in Ann Arbor, Northwestern would bring itself to a tie with the Michigan and depending on the outcome of Nebraska’s game against Penn State, could share a piece of first place.

Game to keep an eye on Penn State at Nebraska — The Leaders Division match up in Bloomington, Ind., is worth a watch but Coach of the Year candidate Bill O’Brien and his Nittany Lions have surprised the nation to the tune of a 6-3 record and are heading into a real test in Nebraska where the Cornhuskers are hoping to keep a lead in a heated Legends Division race.

Top defensive performance Ohio State’s Ryan Shazier recorded 14 tackles and a pass breakup against Illinois last weekend. The Buckeyes dominated a struggling Illini offense, holding them to just 170 yards of offense.

Where they rank

Nebraska and Northwestern represent the Big Ten in the BCS standings at No. 16 and No. 24, respectively. Ohio State leads the pack in the AP top 25 at fifth overall, while Nebraska is No. 18 and Northwestern is left out of those rankings.

Going bowling By reaching six victories last weekend, Michigan joins Wiscon-

sin, Northwestern and Nebraska as the bowl-eligible teams in the Big Ten. Ohio State and Penn State would also be eligible any other season, and Minnesota can become the fifth team this weekend with a win over Illinois. Michigan State also has five victories, but is on a bye this week. Only Illinois is mathematically ineligible from reaching a bowl game.

Offensive tackle Corey Lewis returns to field on Saturday after knee injuries this season. On top of all that, he needed arthroscopic surgery to clean out his right knee, which he injured while overcompensating for his injured left knee. “You ask why, you ask if football is for you,” Lewis said. “But with hard work and dedication, I just really wanted to get back. I just had so many setbacks that it just came to a point that it was going to get through everything and do everything I could to get back.” Lewis is listed as a redshirt senior, but because of his multiyear injury, he’s been active for just two seasons. He said he expects the NCAA to grant him a sixth year of eligibility at the

end of the season. “From what I’m hearing, it’s a slam dunk,” he said. The Illini certainly hope to have Lewis back to anchor the offensive line next season. He was once considered a building block at tackle alongside Jeff Allen, who is now with the Kansas City Chiefs, but the injuries derailed his development and he never became a full-time starter. “We were supposed to be bookend tackles for the future,” he said. The current offensive line is lacking depth, and when seniors Graham Pocic and Hugh Thornton graduate, it will also be lacking experience.

If he returns in 2013, Lewis and junior Jake Feldmeyer will be the only two seniors on the Illini offensive line, and Lewis hopes to provide a veteran presence for the younger players. “I’ve been here for a long time,” he said. “Hopefully, I can get back to my old form, if not better, and just continue to help the O-line to grow and get better.” If nothing else, Lewis’ story can be a motivating example for an Illinois squad struggling during a six-game losing streak. “If I didn’t quit, nobody should quit,” Lewis said.

receiver, a solid running back and a solid receiver, a top tight end not named Gronk, or even a reliable quarterback. Is your fellow owner disappointed with the inconsistent health of Maurice Jones-Drew? Trade him Martin for MJD and a receiver. When Martin regresses to the mean and MJD regains full strength, you’ll be happy you listened to the Doctor. Here’s some players to look at on the waiver wire this week David Wilson (running back, Giants, 42.4 percent owned in ESPN leagues) — Wilson is about to become the Giants starting running back by default. Ahmad Bradshaw is going down any day now, I’m sure of it. He nursed a foot injury all last year, and it severely limited him. Now he’s dealing with another foot injury. They say history is cyclical, right? The team claims it’s minor and Bradshaw remains active, but his workload has significantly decreased following the injury. They know something. He’s going down. And when he does, who is going to take his spot? Not Andre Brown, who is dealing with a shoulder injury of his own. No, the correct answer is third-string rook-

played well.” Panozzo worked through adversity in her defensive line throughout the season. As an on-field orchestrator of the back line, Panozzo dealt with both lineup and formation changes. Rayfield said Panozzo has handled the situation well. “One of the things that makes a goalkeeper great is if they can limit the amount of times they have to make saves,” Rayfield said. “To Steph’s credit, the defense in front of her has changed quite a bit this year. She has had to organize a fourback, she’s had to organize a three-back, she’s had to organize different people in those formations. It’s been a real challenge for her organizationally, and those pieces are starting to come together and I think it shows for us.” Nicole Breece recorded the semifinal’s only goal, off a flipthrow from junior Megan Pawloski in the 40th minute. Panozzo then had to defend the lead for the entire second half without letting Penn State tie the score. She exhibited an aggressive style of play, slide tackling offensive players for the ball on breakaways and punching

the ball out of the box on corner kicks. During the Big Ten Tournament’s championship game, Panozzo went as far as knocking her head on the goal post to make a save. Putting herself in those dangerous positions to keep the team in the game inspired the offense to do the same. “Something I learned a long time ago is, if a goalie is willing to dive and hit her head on the post for you, then you should be able to do that for her on the other side of the field,” senior forward Niki Read said. “Going into games, you can keep that in the back of your head, knowing that Steph literally dove into the post to make a save, so when we are in the box scrambling to get a goal, it makes you want to dive and hit the post yourself to get a goal.” The goalkeeper role is the only position in which the player can see the entire field throughout the game. With this advantage, it is easy to direct and control the game based on what they observe. Panozzo’s stern voice can always be heard as far as the top bleacher in the stands, directing her teammates play by play. Read says trust is a huge component in the relationship between a team and its goalkeeper.

“I’m so glad to have Steph on our side,” Read said. “I think she is one of the best goalies in the conference, if not in the country. I think one of the things that makes me so confident in her is her confidence in herself and her ability to stay mentally strong throughout the entire game. She never breaks down, and she is so composed. I’m never afraid of any situation because she is behind us.” Though Panozzo had heroic performances in the Big Ten Tournament, she will have to remain consistent this weekend when the Illini travel to Columbia, Mo., to face off against the Tigers in the NCAA tournament’s first round. “Courageous would probably be the first word to come out of my mouth when describing Steph, in a sense of she is willing to put herself out there,” Rayfield said. “Willing to take that sense of responsibility of being in the goal. She comes up big in big moments, and again, I think that has been part of her development. That hasn’t always been the case. Her own ability to focus has allowed her to come up with that big save in big moments, and that will be huge going forward.”

It had been nearly three years since Corey Lewis played a snap of game action. Five knee surgeries, three ACL tears and 34 games later, the senior offensive tackle returned to the field Saturday. Lewis checked in during the first quarter against Ohio State. “My heart was racing 100 miles per minute,” Lewis said. “It was great. My nerves were going that first play. It was a great feeling. One of the greatest feelings of my life to be able to get back out there.” After a grueling rehab process that began when he first tore the

ACL in his left knee in the 2010 spring game, Lewis was relieved to be back on the field with his teammates. His last game action came against Fresno State on Dec. 5, 2009, in a 53-52 loss for Illinois. “People don’t understand the rigors that guy went through to get himself prepared to even get a chance to play again,” head coach Tim Beckman said. “That’s what the college game is all about. It’s not about anybody but the players.” Lewis listed himself at around 80 to 90 percent, saying he’s rusty after missing so much time. “Just from not being out there,” he said. “For the most part, I think

I’m good to go. I just got to continue to get better with my technique and just being out there.” Lewis’ return to the field hasn’t been easy or without setbacks. He said the thought of tearing the ligament again still creeps back into his head. After all, it did happen again for Lewis. And then again. He re-tore his ACL doing a hang-clean during offseason workouts in 2011. An infection prevented the graft from healing, and the ligament tore for a third time. He had to essentially start his rehabilitation from scratch again. Because of that, he missed the 2010 and 2011 seasons and the first nine games of

Michael Floyd (wide receiver, Cardinals, 2.6 percent owned) — Floyd and the Cardinals are on bye this week, so you won’t receive any immediate gratification with this pick-up. But when they return in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons, I think you’ll be treated with a pleasant surprise. Floyd is only a rookie, but the kid was a stud at Notre Dame. The talent is there. It took some time, as it normally does with rookies, but Floyd’s

role in the Arizona offense has expanded enough to where he has some fantasy value. If the trend continues and Floyd mixes in more and more with the offense, he could be precisely the boost your team needed at the receiver position. Or he could also bust and not catch another ball the rest of the season. So it goes with 2-percentowned rookies.

Dorn, Illini volleyball look to rebound from October slump BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

For the Illinois volleyball team, the month of October was a veritable 31-day nightmare. The Illini entered the month 8-6, and left it 10-13, seeking confidence and validation for their efforts in practice. Meanwhile, sophomore Anna Dorn entered October enjoying her second season in orange and blue thriving with the sixthhighest hitting percentage in the nation. She was emerging as a leader, looking to pick up where graduates Colleen Ward and Michelle Bartsch left off — leading by example. Then October happened, starting with a blown 2-0 lead at home against Ohio State, then a blown 14-10 lead in the fifth set against Penn State. Things didn’t get better from there. A poor showing against Michigan stunned head coach Kevin Hambly. A change at setter reset things on offense. Two wins temporarily buoyed the sinking ship, and then four more losses poured on the Illini like a tidal wave. Dorn’s numbers likewise sunk. Her hitting percentage has dropped to .380, which, though still a desirable percentage, isn’t at the level it was in the season’s early going.

Hambly pointed out two changes in Saturday’s postgame press conference following a win against Indiana that could help explain Dorn’s dip: other teams accounting and scheming for her defensively, and the change at setter affecting the middle blocker’s timing. At practice Tuesday, he also pointed out that offense is just one facet of Dorn’s game. “I think she’s blocked great, like she’s gotten better at blocking, and sometimes the numbers don’t show up in blocking,” Hambly said. “For blocking, it’s about opponent hitting efficiency. The opponent’s hitting efficiency has gone down ... and she’s a big part of that. Attackingwise, sometimes it’s about passing, for middles it’s about passing, it’s about the connection. I think she’s doing better than she thinks she is — that’s the thing I would say.” That connection has been between Dorn and different setters over the past couple of weeks, though senior Annie Luhrsen seems to be wrestling the starting role back from freshman Alexis Viliunas. Part of Luhrsen’s advantage is having a solidified connection with the middle blockers — a connection that is difficult to forge. “Setting the middles is a much

more intricate relationship, I think, than setting the outsides — one, because they run more routes, and two just because it is a quicker set,” Luhrsen said. “It’s a connection that I’ve really worked on for a long time, and I mean Lex has worked really hard on it too, but I know for me, it just took a lot of time to find that connection.” For the setter position, Hambly’s switch to Viliunas midseason was driven by the team’s personality. He thought her relaxed attitude on the court was what the team needed at the time. For Dorn, however, Luhrsen’s competitive drive was more in line with her style of play. “I guess how I compete at my highest level is when my head is totally in the game and I feel really fired up and intense and ready to go,” Dorn said. She added that by keeping her own feelings in check, she was able to mesh with the group when Viliunas was played. “I think as long as everybody’s playing in their element, it works,” she said. Hambly said that with Dorn’s decreasing offensive production, her confidence has dipped. He believes the only way to fix confidence is to work on things in practice and then execute them in games.

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ outside hitter Liz McMahon (14) and Anna Dorn (5) attempt to block a spike during the Fighting Illini’s 3-2 loss to Ohio State on Oct. 5. Dorn’s hitting percentage dropped dramatically throughout October. But as Luhrsen and Dorn get back into their groove as a tandem, there is confidence that the sophomore from Munster, Ind., will bounce back. “I think all it’s gonna take is

one really good match and she’s gonna be dominating the Big Ten again in everything she does,” Luhrsen said. “I think some of it’s confidence, but some of it’s just everyone goes through that

once in a while and there’s not much you can do about it except keep working.”

AP power rankings reward Falcons, Texans, Bears for Week 9 wins Chargers, Saints rise; Vikings, Redskins drop; Chiefs are last BY RICHARD ROSENBLATT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — A close call on the field for the Atlanta Falcons, a near unanimous choice to stay atop the AP Pro32 NFL power rankings. Atlanta (8-0) topped Dallas 19-13 over the weekend to remain the league’s only undefeated team. The Falcons received 11 first-place votes and 382 points Tuesday from The Associated Press’ 12-person panel of media members who regularly cover the league. The Houston Texans moved into the second spot by one point ahead of the Chicago Bears. Rounding

out the first five are the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers. The New York Giants, second the past three weeks, dropped into a tie for sixth with the New England Patriots after a loss to Pittsburgh. Houston totaled 363 points and Chicago had 362, with San Francisco receiving the other first-place vote and 348 points. “The NFL’s Bon Jovi,” said ESPN’s Chris Berman of the Falcons, “they’re halfway there, but NOT living on a prayer.” Despite the perfect record, not everyone’s a believer.

“Undefeated? Yes. Super day night in a matchup of oneBowl threat? Yes. Best team in loss teams. football? Still not convinced,” Foxsports.com’s Alex Marsaid Sporting vez said the News’ Clifton game “could Brown, who be a preview had the 49ers of Super Bowl first and the XLVII.” Many votFalcons third ers singled behi nd the Bears. out the Bears’ The Texans d e fe n s e , moved up a which already spot after their has seven 21-9 win over i nterc eption Buffalo, while returns for DAN POMPEI, the Gia nts touchdowns.

ly gives up the ball. The Texans lead the lead with just six turnovers. “The Texans haven’t had a turnover in five games this year,” notes the Chicago Tribune’s Dan Pompei. “If they can avoid one Sunday, they can beat the Bears.” San Diego and New Orleans made the biggest advances, moving up six spots each — the Chargers to 16th, the Saints to 17th despite a 3-5 record. Also, surprising Indianapolis — 23-20 winners over Miami — improved four places to 12th after starting the season 32nd and last. “The Colts are having a magical season, inspired by the fight of their head coach Chuck Pagano and a rookie QB who looks nothing like a rookie,” said Fox Sports’ John Lynch.

“Andrew Luck already looks like Peyton Manning. Watch out for the Colts,” said SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com’s Pat Kirwan. The Philadelphia Eagles, who started the season rated eighth, are now 20th, dropping three spots after Monday night’s loss to the Saints. “A sinking ship for Andy Reid and Michael Vick,” said CBS Sports/Sirius XM’s Rich Gannon. Also tumbling were Minnesota and Washington. The Vikings fell six places to 18th, the Redskins five slots to 23rd. Kansas City is 32nd. “Romeo Crennel gives up his defensive coordinator duties and appoints Gary Gibbs. Next up: Ben Roethlisberger’s Steelers on the road. Good luck with that,” said Newsday’s Bob Glauber.
