Local efforts set up to aid tornado victims DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Organizations and individuals at the University have begun relief efforts to help victims of the tornadoes that hit parts of the Midwest on Sunday. Gov. Pat Quinn declared 13 counties as disaster areas due to the storms, which killed at least six people in Illinois. Hard hit towns include Washington, Coal City, Diamond, Brookport and Gifford. Allison Canty, a fifth year student in LAS, is working to bring supplies to her hometown of Washington, which is located about 10 miles east of Peoria. Canty was told by her neighbors that a tornado passed right over her house. While Canty’s home was not damaged, two homes in her community were completely destroyed, she said. “Seeing the pictures of the neighborhoods we grew up in ... it’s so surreal. Like you see (the pictures) in the news, but you’ve actually been there,� Canty said. Canty said she and a group of students from Washington wanted to give back to the town that has always been there for them, so they started the “Fill the Truck for Washington� fundraiser. Canty is working with Jessica Weston, senior in LAS, Mandi

The truck was provided by Frye’s father’s company, River City Construction, LLC. The truck can hold 8,000 pounds of supplies, Canty added in an email. The “Fill the Truck� effort is placing boxes at Greek houses on campus, but they are also hoping to involve those outside the Greek community as well, possibly by partnering with Illini Pride and Orange Krush. “We are hoping everyone will rally around ‘Fill the Truck for Washington,’� said Bill Sterrett, Interfraternity Council president and senior in Engineering. The group is looking for donations that include hygiene products and non-perishable food items, rather than old clothes, Canty said. “We need soap, we need feminine products, we need batteries. We’re out of those,� Canty said. “Instant meals like microwavable macaroni, stuff like that.� Donations are due by noon on Friday, although boxes will be picked up from Greek houses Thursday.

FDA implements ban on trans fats BY ZILA RENFRO

SEE TORNADO | 3A

STAFF WRITER

The battle to ban artificial trans fats is finally coming to a close as the FDA issued the preliminary determination that partially hydrogenated oils are not “generally recognized as safe� early this November. This decision allows for a 60-day period during which more data can be collected, and food manufacturers can submit comments on how long they would potentially need to reformulate foods that contain trans fats. Manabu Nakamura, University professor of nutritional sciences, explained that artificial trans fats are produced when vegetable oil undergoes partial hydrogenation to make it more solid. These partially hydrogenated oils are linked to heart attacks

and heart disease. According to the FDA, the reduction of artificial trans fat in America could prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths from heart disease per year. “One thing we know is that (partially hydrogenated oils) increase blood cholesterol,� Nakamura said. “Blood cholesterol is a risk factor for heart attacks.� Erica Nehrling is the administrative dietician for dining services at the University and is a licensed dietician nutritionist. She said an elimination of trans fat would benefit everyone who eats in University dining halls. “The problem with trans fat is that it increases the LDL (bad cholesterol) without increasing

Law professor raises concerns over police surveillance BY JULIANNE MICOLETA STAFF WRITER

State and local police departments are rapidly adopting mass digital surveillance technologies in an effort to fight crime and improve efficiency. However, the use of this type of advanced technology can raise significant privacy concerns, said Stephen Rushin, University law professor. Rushin, who recently authored a paper that will be published in the Brooklyn Law Review next

month, warns that the everincreasing use of advanced surveillance technology such as red light cameras, automatic license plate readers, facial recognition software and surveillance cameras can create the opportunity for abuse and misuse. Over the past few decades, the use of surveillance cameras by police departments in the U.S. has increased from only 20 percent in 1997 to nearly 70 percent in 2007, Rushin said.

The University of Illinois Police Department increased the number of security cameras monitoring activity on campus over the past three years, from 13 in 2008 to around 1,000 cameras today, said UIPD Chief of Police Jeff Christensen. The images from all 1,000 cameras are sent to a centralized database on campus. The images are then stored on a server for a minimum of 30 days. However, if some of the video footage

turns out to be evidence, they then record them on a DVD and place the DVD in their evidence room. “The first thing that I show (in the study) is that there is a lot of empirical evidence showing that a lot of police departments, especially ones in urban areas, are starting to use this type of technology,� Rushin said. “But the important thing is not that they have it,it is what they’re doing with the information that they

are gathering is what is worrisome to me.� With the advent of surveillance cameras with biometric recognition and automatic license plate readers, Rushin is particularly concerned with data retention policies. “The thing is that people have no expectation of privacy in public places, and while police officers must get a warrant before using certain types of technology, the courts generally don’t

regulate efficiency-enhancing technologies,� Rushin said. “So what happens is that police departments end up with tons of data that they collect, and some departments have very good data retention policies and get rid of them, but other police departments just have tons and tons of data laying around.� However, Christensen said UIPD has strict security cam-

Parkland’s new food pantry will provide for its students BY MIRANDA HOLLOWAY STAFF WRITER

A new food pantry is scheduled to open at Parkland College and will serve as an added resource to support students in need. The pantry, which is scheduled to open Dec. 11 in the college’s “S Building,� is an offshoot of the Wesley Foundation’s Wesley Evening Food Pantry, which is located at the Wesley United Methodist Church, 1203 W. Green St. The Wesley Foundation will be running the pantry and managing the volunteers, said Wesley Evening Food Pantry Director Donna Camp. In its first few months of operation, Parkland’s pantry will be accessible from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the second Wednesday of every month, but Camp

said adjustments may be made as they find what works at the location. Marietta Turner, Parkland College dean of students, said the idea for opening the pantry stemmed from seeing a need for food assistance from some students and wanting to give greater support to the students in need, especially the school’s veteran population. After meeting with the Eastern Illinois Foodbank, which will be helping to support the pantry, the project moved forward. “We were happy to meet with them about how to help our vets when they return, help assist them and their families, and to assist our other students who are trying to be successful,� Turner said. “Out of that meeting over

Electroninks uses Kickstarter campaign to fund circuit pen BY JACQUI OGRODNIK STAFF WRITER

Before the printing press was invented, the job of a scribe was to handwrite copies of documents and literary works. Today, the job of a circuit is to provide a path for electrical current to flow. When Electroninks Incorporated combined these two jobs into a single pen, it created the Circuit Scribe. Electroninks, a start-up company in the Research Park, which started in January, is a spinoff of the research lab of Jennifer Lewis, co-founder and former University professor of materials science and engineering who is currently working at the Harvard University School of Engineering and Applied Science. Brett Walker, CEO and cofounder of Electroninks, based the company’s technology of conductive inks on his Ph.D. dissertation work in Lewis’ lab group. “My dissertation work on reactive silver inks received significant amount of commercial interest, and as I went through my Ph.D. career, the interest kept growing,� Walker said. “It was evident that there was enough commercial demand to start a company off this.� With this demand, Walker created Electroninks after licensing his technology with the University’s Office of Technology Management, which has been working closely with the co-founders by creating patent applications for the company’s product, the Circuit Scribe. The Circuit Scribe is a conductive rollerball pen that can be used for directly depositing conductive inks onto paper, creating a circuit almost instantly. The lines drawn from the pen can interconnect other components, such as resistors. “A lot of current circuit repair and circuit prototyping tools require several hours to dry,� Walker said. “This is a water-

based ink that can draw circuits and prototypes instantly and is friendly to work with.� The nontoxic, water-based conductive ink dries quickly, allowing the user to create low-cost and high-quality electronics nearly instantly. “The composition of the ink is actually like that of a commercial gel-ink pen, except we’ve replaced the colorful pigments in the pen with conductive silver particles,� said Analisa Russo, director of STEM Outreach and product development at Electroninks. “Try it on paper, it dries and the particles form a conductive network that conducts electricity.� Russo said she tries to coordinate with educators to design workshops for teaching students about circuits and using the pen. “It can be a really powerful prototyping tool for engineers...,� she said. “For a student who’s new to electronics, it presents a level of attraction between circuit diagrams that they learn about in a textbook and a circuit that actually functions.� The business-to-business side of Electroninks deals mainly with reactive silver ink technology, which is a high-conductivity, low-temperature enabling product that is used in production printing presses, such as inkjet, aerosol, spin coating and roll-to-roll printing. Lisa Dhar, associate director of the Office of Technology Management’s strategic initiatives, said because the ink has high conductivity, it can be placed on a range of substrates, from plastic to paper, that normally would not be able to tolerate the typical high temperatures that other inks require. From people in the medical field, where they are looking at applying conductive traces on different types of medical devices, to people in the typing industry, Dhar said Electroninks has a lot of interest

in establishing partnerships in a wide range of industries, giving the company a chance to become a widely used ink. “In terms of partnering with companies, licensing out their ink to be used with companies, custom developing different formulations for companies, there are a lot of possibilities in terms of how it can grow,� Dhar said. The company launched a Kickstarter fund Wednesday morning. With the goal of reaching $85,000, Electroninks is hoping to receive the initial funding for production runs of the pens compared to the small runs of prototypes that are made by hand. “We’re hoping to pass the goal in the first couple of days,� Walker said. “We have a lot of outlets and different ways to market the campaign ... blogs, tech blogs, media outlets, University outlets, professional contacts and friends and family.� Walker will begin hiring fulltime employees at the beginning of next year. He will also offer internships, focusing on those who have a background in material science, chemistry and electrical engineering. “If we’re successful with our campaign, we plan to add more functional inks to our library of rollerball pen inks, like inks that act like a resistor or an ink that acts like an insulator,� Russo said. “We’d also like to build a community for Circuit Scribe users to share circuit designs with each other in some sort of forum.�

However, if I were to monitor you on the street every day, I’m going to know where you work, what kind of religion you affiliate with, what your political affiliation is, where you go to the doctor and what you do on your free time.� Another problem that Rushin takes issue with is the potential misuse of secondhand data. “This data might be collected to stop crime; however, there are a lot of possibilities for abuse as well,� Rushin said. “For example, data can be used to stifle local political competition and free speech, so some of the long-term perceived harms include a sort of erosion of privacy.� The paper offers suggestions on how legislative bodies can limit data retention, identification and access and sharing of the data acquired by the digitally efficient surveillance technologies. “I think that it’s really important that state legislators set up

They also need to regulate who has access to the data because this isn’t like looking up info on phone records, this is tons and tons of data on people, and that is pretty concerning.� Christensen said the University police work with American Civil Liberties Union standards to make sure that they are not abusing this type of new advanced technology. “When we were getting all of this new technology in place, we went and made sure that we got the input of the ACLU to make sure that we were handling it properly,� Christensen said. “We recently had another meeting with the ACLU to get a status check on how we were doing, and they were pleased with the way that things were.

Artificial trans fats are inexpensive to use and don’t go bad quickly. “When they first started using it back when they discovered it in the late nineteenth century, they realized how it increases the shelf-life, and it made manufacturing easier on many levels,� Nehrling said. “So it’s unfortunate that with all of the research done that they haven’t cut out all of the trans fat, that they’ve just reduced it.� Nehrling explained that the products in the dining halls at the University contain little artificial trans fat.

Urbana City Council leaves property tax open to increase BY ELI MURRAY STAFF WRITER

An ordinance passed by the Urbana City Council on Tuesday leaves open the possibility to increase property taxes by nearly .05 percentage points. The possible tax hike would compensate for the budget deficit created by the tax exemption of two major hospitals. The ordinance set the levy amount at $7.3 million. This does not necessarily mean that Urbana will collect the full amount; it only ensures that the city can tax up to that amount, according to an Urbana City Council Comptroller Memo. The actual levy rates will be set once the final property values have been established. If the city does decide to tax to the full amount, however, homeowners could find themselves study and we’ve taken a look at it, and I’m sure we’ll get him in here sometime to discuss and get some advice on how to proceed in the future with this technology.� Despite potential privacy concerns, LAS freshman Inas Mahmood prefers there to be more surveillance cameras around campus than fewer. “I just feel safer with the surveillance cameras all over campus,� Mahmood said. “I don’t think that they’re a violation of privacy as long as they aren’t in bathrooms or locker rooms. They’re just there to keep students safe.� Rushin also thinks that in hindsight, digital surveillance cameras provide more benefits than concerns. “The thing is, they’re not bad things,� Rushin said. “They’re actually really good and valuable tools. The real question here is once they use this technology, what will they do with all the information they acquire?�

paying a property tax of 1.4 percent. Comparatively, last year’s property tax rate was 1.355 percent. “If the rates stay the same (as last year), the city portion of the property taxes for a home valued at $150,000 would be $596,� said Urbana’s interim comptroller Rich Hentschel. “The city’s portion is only 15 percent of an average tax bill.� According to a council memo, Carle Hospital pulled more than $1 million from the tax rolls by acquiring tax-exempt status for the 2013 fiscal year. If Presence Covenant Medical Center follows suit, the city would lose more than $67,000 in revenue, further decreasing the pool of revenue the city can draw from. The possibility that proper-

ty taxes may increase has concerned citizens who had previously been told that the increased sales tax would keep property taxes from rising. “Of course I’m concerned,� Mike Madigan, Ward 6, said. He said he would oppose a property tax rate increase if it came to council, and even indicated that he wasn’t happy with the current tax rate. Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing explained that the levy amount does not necessarily ensure a tax rate increase. “We normally have a higher levy than what we expect to get because we do not know the assessed value at the first step in this process,� she said. “We adjust (the rate) once we know what (the accessed value) is.�

ationwide, women account for 50.8 percent (157 million) of the total population and men account for 49.2 percent (151.8 million), according to the 2010 Census. The trend continues in U.S. colleges — where, according to a campaign for the advancement of women’s rights called Women Moving Millions, 58 percent of all undergraduates were women. Not to mention they account for 51 percent of PhDs, 67 percent of college graduates and 70 percent of valedictorians in 2012. But this lead that women have begins to fall once they enter the workforce. While women account for half of all jobs in the U.S., women fill only 25 percent of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) jobs, according to Inside Higher Ed. The irony is that while women lead in total population and undergraduate enrollment, the female-to-male divide is quite distinct in male-dominated STEM fields. But this disparity in the workforce isn’t spontaneous; it’s reflected in the gender gap in STEM fields in many colleges. Take our University, for instance, where females only account for 18 percent of students in STEM fields. On the other hand, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the highest-ranked engineering school in the country, women make up 44 percent of its engineering department. On the other side of the spectrum, Carnegie Mellon University, generally ranked in the top ten best engineering schools in the country but below the University, still manages to have 30 percent of women account for its engineering program. But, really, anything south of 40 percent is none-too-pleasing. The dismally low number of women in STEM majors in college and the workforce is alarming. Diversity, including gender, produces creativity and innovation in classrooms and in office buildings. And that’s especially true in engineering industries. Major corporations continue to recognize the importance of women’s unique contributions to STEM fields. Just last year, Yahoo! announced Marissa Mayer as its new CEO and President (she was also the first female engineer at Google). She serves as a role model to young girls and spread the message that women can and will continue to rise through male-dominated industries. Even Apple has followed the trend by offering a $10,000 scholarship, called the iOS Scholarship for Women in Technology, for education and a chance to intern at the company. Google has long employed female engineers for positions from webcrawl infrastructure to software development. A school that leads with women in the STEM fields will not only have a stronger and more diverse program, it will also help close a historical disparity. This is something Chancellor Phyllis Wise has both acknowledged and promoted. In an interview with The Daily Illini Editorial Board in October, Chancellor Wise reaffirmed the University’s lifelong commitment to diversity: “We are going in the right direction, but I can say that I don’t think I’ll ever give up on diversity. I don’t think you can ever become too diverse.� But we need to push harder. Our University may be achieving diversity in some disciplines, but in others, such as STEM, we are clearly lacking. Not only is addressing and closing this disparity in STEM fields for women vital to the survival of the United States’ industrial advantage, but it’s just as vital to building a better university.

‘Friendsgiving’ is a fun twist on a traditional holiday KATE CULLEN Opinions columnist

As

the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, students prepare to return home to spend time with family and friends. Parents and elder relatives usually determine how the numerous holiday festivities are celebrated, reverting us young adults back to childhood by having little to no say in the matter. However, this trend is beginning to change as students regain the power over their holiday plans by holding a “Friendsgiving.� This hybrid holiday combines the delicious food of Thanksgiving with the company of great friends, resulting in a celebration with the potential to be more popular than Christmas. The best part about Friendsgiving is that is can be observed on any day, just as long as it is around the time of the Thanksgiving holiday. When I received my first Friendsgiving invitation, my main concern was whether or not there would be enough food. Since some college students can barely manage their laundry, I could

not fathom how one could cook an entire Thanksgiving feast. However, my worries were resolved when I learned of the basic protocol of throwing a successful Friendsgiving. The person with the biggest kitchen should host. That is a given. No one wants to be crammed into a tiny room in the Six Pack hovering over an Easy Bake Oven and a microwave. That being said, the host does not hold all of the cooking responsibilities. While they should be responsible for the most important part of the meal, the turkey, the rest of the courses should be delegated to the guests. Since the host is usually the friend who is a mom-in-the-making, they will still want to have complete control over the meal and will specifically tell each guest what to bring. Don’t be insulted, embrace your Monica Geller friend and appreciate their hospitality. Friendsgiving should be about everyone coming together to break bread in a potluck fashion. If you show up to a Friendsgiving, you better have a lukewarm ceramic pan in your hands containing one of the numerous side dishes of Thanksgiving. If you do not know what a suitable Thanksgiving side dish is, call your mother and she will inform you. The last thing you

want to do is be the person who shows up with ice. Since every student is on a budget, sharing the responsibilities of the meal makes it easier to have enough food for everyone, as well as to involve all of the guests in the cooking process. Though Friendsgiving can be the moment to highlight your secret talent for cooking, don’t be surprised if the side dishes consist of store-bought pies and Rice Krispie Treats — every college student’s dream. Don’t be confused, Friendsgiving is not the kind of traditional Thanksgiving holiday you spend with your family. Music is a must and cider is all but necessary. This is the time to be an almost-adult — you are old enough to realize a national holiday must be celebrated, but young enough to still execute it the same way you would any other party. Except with food — lots of food. Not only does Friendsgiving give students the opportunity to be thankful for their second family at school, but it also removes the inevitable awkward moments that come with any family holiday. At Friendsgiving there are no crazy uncles who always seem to have one too many beverages, no great-aunts who want to know every detail of life at school and no

drama over who will bear the misfortune of having to host the next inevitable get-together. There are no nagging children begging you to play Barbies at Friendsgiving, only true friends who will encourage you to eat more. Unlike the traditional family holiday, the conversations do not need to be censored and you can swear as much as you want. This new holiday embodies the sentiment that friends are the family you choose, so why shouldn’t there be a holiday devoted entirely to being thankful for them? It makes perfect sense to me, and if you haven’t had a Friendsgiving already start planning one now. Thanksgiving should be devoted to spending quality time with family and being thankful for their constant love and support. Cherish the awkward family moments, ignore the drama and be thankful you have a family to celebrate the holidays with. But make sure to remind your friends, who are not a part of your immediate family, just how much they mean to you and that you’re thankful for them too. Have a Friendsgiving. Celebrate both of your families.

Ian Hobson conducts the Sinfonia da Camera on March 13, 2010 at a concert in the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts’ Foellinger Great Hall. The professional chamber orchestra will perform at Foellinger Great Hall along with student choral groups Thursday night.

Orchestra to perform Verdi’s ‘Requiem’ Thursday evening BY JED LACY STAFF WRITER

On Thursday, the University’s Sinfonia da Camera will perform Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi’s choral masterpiece “Requiem.� The professor chamber orchestra’s rendition of “Requiem� will pay homage to the 200th anniversary of Verdi’s birth. Verdi wrote “Requiem� in 1874 to commemorate the death of Alesandro Manzoni, a poet and novelist whom he deeply admired. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will take place at the Foellinger Great Hall in the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. This performance will feature the talents of Sinfonia da Camera, an orchestra composed of University faculty and students as well as a variety of talented area musicians. This ensemble was founded in 1984 by Ian Hobson, who today serves as its music director and conductor. As well as performing as lead conductor for Sinfonia da Camera, Hobson is a professor

in music and an accomplished musician himself. In 1981, Hobson took first place at the Leeds International Piano Competition in West Yorkshire, England. On Thursday, Hobson will be the man in charge of bringing Verdi’s “Requiem� to life. “Verdi was the great Italian opera composer of the 19th century, bar none,� Hobson said. “He was a great composer because he knew how to transmit emotions through his music.� Sinfonia da Camera’s rendition of “Requiem� will be accompanied by the UI Chorale and Oratorio Society as well as UI Women’s and Men’s Glee Clubs. Andrea Solya, director of UI Women’s Glee Club, will be one of many performing in Thursday’s show. “About everybody who sings in a choir at the University of Illinois will be in this performance. There will be near 300 people on stage making this one huge show,� she said. Also performing “Requiem�

will be four soloists, including professional soloists Daniel Montenegro, Hyona Kim and Stephanie Gregory as well as associate music professor Ricardo Herrera. Evan Tammen, operations manager for Sinfonia da Camera, is in charge of contracting soloists to perform alongside the University’s chamber orchestra. Tammen believes “Requiem� is the type of piece that can be enjoyed by a variety of audiences. “I think it’s an exciting and engaging piece for everyone,� Tammen said. “Even if you’re not necessarily a classical music buff, I think you’ll really enjoy this dynamic performance.� Tickets to “Requiem� are $39 for adults $14 for students.

NEW YORK — She knew they were waiting to hear from her — Channing Tatum’s millions of fans. It had been more than an hour since LaQuishe Wright had posted a photo of the actor on his Twitter account, dressed in a suit “Headed to the Zeigfield.� Now she and Tatum had arrived at the “White House Down� premiere, and Wright needed to give his followers another update. So as he began walking down the red carpet, posing for photographs and greeting reporters, she stayed close by. Glued to her iPhone, she was barely noticeable among the melee, a diminutive 38-year-old in an airy halter dress flanked by hulking bodyguards, publicists and studio handlers. But Wright was one of the most important members of Tatum’s entourage that evening: His social media manager, paid to make sure his fans (8.2 million on Facebook, 5.3 million on Twitter and 2.6 million on Instagram) are aware of what he’s up to on a sometimes nearhourly basis. As studio executives and casting directors increasingly factor in a celebrity’s digital fan base, maintaining a healthy online presence has become vital for Hollywood stars. That’s where Wright and a generation of her tech-savvy peers come in, helping to amplify and control the reputations of public figures via social media. For social media buffs, it sounds like a dream job: Tweeting for a living.

Guerra said that studies have shown that combining both physical and mental therapy makes quitting easier. The free program is staffed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists and certified tobacco treatment specialists. Guerra said that students do need more education when it comes to learning about tobacco and smoking risks. “Tobacco is a highly addictive drug, and students need more education on the addictive nature of tobacco.

“A lot of celebrities have an aversion to Twitter, and I get it, they’re scheduled every four minutes of their life, and they don’t want to have to worry about it,� said Wright, who goes by “Q.� “But if you have a great social presence, that is a 100 percent benefit. Fans are more prone to go see Channing Tatum’s movie if he’s telling them about it, not a studio. And Hollywood is paying attention to that now.� In recent months, traditional prerelease audience surveys intended to help predict a film’s box office opening have often proved to be unreliable. “As a studio, if we see a fan base tweeting about our movies leading up to a release, we get excited - and often that’s the result of someone like Q helping to engage people online by giving them an inside view,� said Liz Jones, senior vice president of digital marketing at Relativity Media, which hired Wright to run the social media campaign for its February release “Safe Haven.� “Honestly, though, I do think it’s really hard for a celebrity to run all of their accounts by themselves,� she added. “The smart ones understand they need someone to help.� That was the realization that Tatum had early on after his mother, Kay, stumbled across “Channing Tatum Unwrapped,� a fan site Wright had created. It was 2006, and Wright was dealing with personal struggles. Her son had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and one day, after months of stressful doctor’s appointments, she decided to take

an afternoon for herself. She headed to a local multiplex near her home in Katy, Texas, and bought a ticket to “Step Up,� Tatum’s lighthearted dance flick. At the time, she had never heard of the then-fledgling actor. But she was taken with his performance and rushed home to scour the Internet to learn more about him. Wright had never followed Hollywood closely. After graduating from Texas A&M with a degree in computer science, she worked for an airline’s information technology department, running her own Web consultant agency on the side. So when she was unable to find much information about Tatum online, she decided to put her Web design skills to use and founded “Channing Tatum Unwrapped.� Within a month, 30,000 visitors had visited the fan site, one of them was Tatum’s mom. Soon, Channing Tatum sent an email to Wright saying how appreciative he was of the site, even attaching a picture of himself sitting at his home computer to prove his identity. He asked if Wright’s fan page could become his official site.Six years after founding Tatum’s site, Wright’s passion project has turned into a full-blown business, Q Social Media, Ltd. She has five employees reporting to her at her home base in Texas, though Wright makes at least a dozen trips to L.A. a year. For celebrity clients, her rates vary from $500 to $6,000 per month, but studios typically pony up at least double that. according to a source close to one distribution company.

can control it,� Guerra said. “They also don’t realize the dangerous level of risk associated with second hand smoke.� One of the risks that comes with smoking is lung cancer. Kaitlyn Kestel, Colleges Against Cancer president and senior in AHS, explained that while not everyone who contracts lung cancer smokes, it is definitely a contributing factor. “Lung cancer is the deadliest form of cancer. It has the most deaths, but it is also the most preventable,� Kestel said. Guerra said that The Wellness Center have added more Smoke Out activities this year due to the event occurring about six weeks prior to the introduction of the smoke-free campus policy. The smoke-free campus policy deems it unacceptable to smoke cigarettes, cigars, E-cigarettes or any tobacco or nicotine products on campus property. The old policy did not allow students or staff to smoke in public buildings or within 25 feet of a University building. With the policy enacted, staff and students will not be able to smoke in common spaces, such as Green Street or the Main Quad. Guerra also said that it is not permissible for persons to smoke in their cars on campus grounds. Guerra understands that the transition may be hard for students, but she also stated that sta-

tistically it would be harder for staff to quit because they are more than likely already addicted to nicotine or tobacco consumption. “Tobacco use is very personal; quitting is very personal. You have to find out what works for you,� Guerra said. Guerra said that the Wellness Center is currently recruiting and interviewing smoke-free campus policy ambassadors, who will be available to talk to staff and students about the policy and answer questions throughout the year. If staff and students do not comply with the smoke-free campus policy, ambassadors can report them and disciplinary action will be taken. Guerra also stated smoking-cessation products, such as a patch, lozenges or gum, will soon be available throughout campus. The locations are yet to be determined. “It’s a huge win for anyone who is a health advocate against cancer. I’m really excited to see it pass,� Kestel said. “It allows for cancer protection and keeps campus healthy. And I don’t have to walk through clouds of smoke while going to class.� For more information on the smoke-free campus policy, students can go to go.illinois.edu/ smokefree.

ith the release of their sophomore album last May, Fitz and the Tantrums will be sharing their neosoul sound with the University community Wednesday at State Farm Center at 7:30 p.m. as a part of The Bright Futures Tour. Joining them will be the indie-pop duo, Capital Cities. Fitz and the Tantrums’ song “Out Of My League� from their album “More Than Just A Dream� made it to No. 1 on the Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart and stayed on the chart for 32 weeks. They recently performed on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno� and

“Conan,� and are coming off of a finished tour with singer Bruno Mars. Fitz and the Tantrums consists of Michael Fitzpatrick on lead vocals, Noelle Scaggs on vocals and percussion, James King on winds, guitar, percussion and keyboard, Joseph Karnes on bass guitar, Jeremy Ruzumna on keyboards, and John Wicks on drums and percussion. The Daily Illini had the chance to sit down and talk with Ruzumna before Wednesday’s performance: Daily Illini: Why the name Fitz and the Tantrums? Jeremy Ruzumna: It’s just a sort of play on words. Like “throw-

ing a fit and a tantrum.� I think a friend of Fitz’s actually came up with it, and it kind of stuck. DI: Why the match up with Capital Cities for The Bright Futures Tour? JR: This is one of those tours that came about really naturally, and that doesn’t always happen. A lot of times when you’re going to tour with someone it’s political and either way you end up making new friends, and it’s really cool. But in this case it was extra cool because we actually ran into them, and we loved their music, and they loved our music, and we immediately liked each other as people. We had that moment

where we said, ‘God, it would be so cool to tour with you guys,’ and they were kind of like ‘Yeah, lets do it.’ And it ended up happening very quickly, which we were all very happy about. DI: Could you describe your sound, and how it might have changed from your first to your sophomore album? JR: When you’re a musician, it’s very difficult to label your stuff, like purely one genre, because we really aren’t purely one genre. Everyone in this band is very diverse and has different musical influences. We all have similarities when it comes to our love of soul music, our love of ‘80s music,

hip-hop and electronica. This second album really reflects that — our diversities coming together into something we all love. DI: What would you say your second album specifically brings to the table that’s new? JR: I would say that we made this album sonically much bigger than the first album. And we did it on purpose. On the second album, we basically decided anything goes. Let’s just see what sounds good, and if it sounds good, we’ll keep it even if it is totally different.

mances that you feel is unique to your band? JR: The thing that sets the band apart is the vocalists, the up-front people. Fitz and Noelle, they make a very interesting and unique duo. The contrast between their two personalities, male and female, etc. It works for our fans in a lot of ways; all the guys can look at Noelle and swoon, and all the girls can look at Fitz and swoon. This male-and-female duo really helps flush true emotion into all these songs about love and heartbreak, which is what really sets us apart.

Wellness Center’s Smoke Out event to prepare students for smoke-free campus policy BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER

The University’s Wellness Center and Colleges Against Cancer will participate in their annual Great American Smoke Out, an event created by the American Cancer Society, on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The organizations will feature booths to educate staff and students about the risks of smoking and how they can quit. The Wellness Center will have four booths set up on the Main Quad, Beckman Atrium, Ikenberry Dining Hall and CRCE. The registered student organization

Colleges Against Cancer will also have a booth on the Main Quad. At the Wellness Center booths, students can also talk to experts about cessation, or quitting, and conquering cravings with pet therapy and aromatherapy. They also can learn about the smokefree campus policy and receive pamphlets on campus cessation resources. The center will also pass out free quit kits and give students special treats — such as bubble gum, suckers, bubbles and Chinese yo-yos — if they trade in their cigarettes. Wellness Center Director

IT’S ALMOST TIME FOR THE ANNUAL

Michele Guerra said the Smoke Out will try to help students and staff who are trying to quit, as well as those who will need assistance when smoke-free campus policy begins Jan. 1. “(We hold the Smoke Out) to encourage people who are ready to quit and people who are not ready to make the commitment and want to try for a day,� she said. “It can also be helpful in advance for the smoke-free campus policy.� Public health, community health and kinesiology students as well as other various University staff and students will be vol-

done at the University, just under 25 percent of students say they currently use cigarettes, a little under the national average. However, while Guerra acknowledges that students do smoke to relieve stress, it is the time after college graduation that is pivotal in a smoker’s life. “As soon as a person is out of school, it is a critical time in life whether you’ll become an addicted smoker or non-addicted smoker,� Guerra said.

STAFF WRITERS

the biggest game of its season, the Illinois soccer team was hindered by its defense. A week later, with a chance at redemption they thought they might not get, the Illini rode their defense, and their freshman goalkeeper, to victory. A 13 -save performance against No. 21 Washington State in the fi rst round of the NCAA tournament have accolades rolling in for goalkeeper Claire Wheatley. Wheatley’s 11 saves in regulation, complemented by two more in a penalty shootout, were a career high for the freshman. The career game saw her named to the Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week and named

TDS’ Player of the Week. Wheatley started this year as one of three options for Illinois’ starting goalkeeper position. She beat out the two upperclassmen for the job and has only cemented her spot further with two shutouts. Based on the potential she has shown this season, a performance like this was always on the cards, but the biggest surprise was the circumstances under which it came. Pullman, Wash., experienced a heavy snowfall the night before the game, and as a result the Cougars’ Lower Soccer Field was in bad shape. “It started off somewhat green, and by the end of the game it was just mud,� Wheatley said.

In addition to the weather, Wheatley was coming off arguably her worst performance as an Illini after they lost their fi rst Big Ten Tournament game 5-3 against Indiana. “We can’t let five goals in. That is unacceptable,� Illinois soccer captain Vanessa DiBernardo said after the loss to Indiana. DiBernardo expressed her disappointment about not only the number of goals conceded but the way they were conceded. The fi rst two goals came on similar shots from more than 18 yards out on the left fl ank. The fourth goal, from 5 yards inside the Illinois half, was sandwiched by two close range fi nishes

At his fi rst news conference of the year, John Groce answered questions about everything — his four returning players, his five freshmen, his transfers who had to sit out and recruiting — but one person was largely ignored. Only one question, the second-to-last question, was asked about Jon Ekey, a projected starter and fifth-year transfer from Illinois State. Ekey wasn’t on people’s minds, but Groce spoke highly of Ekey and said he had graded out higher than anyone else in practices and was the most consistent player for the Illini. Ekey has everyone’s attention after back-to-back career games. He grabbed 15 rebounds against Valparaiso on Nov. 13, including eight offensive boards. Whenever he couldn’t grab the ball, he would tip it out to his teammates giving them second and third chances on baskets. After the first three games, Ekey had shot 3-for-12 on 3-pointers and averaged just five points per game. But his offensive prowess — something highly touted by Groce — was on display Sunday when he scored 19 points, shooting 5-for7 on 3-pointers, against Bradley. He made athletic plays, barely missing a ferocious put-back dunk. Before the season, Ekey

was often compared to Tyler Griffey. Both are tall, mousy forwards with the ability to make long-range shots. Ekey’s coach and teammates said the comparisons weren’t merited. “They both can knock down open shots and will play hard for you, but they don’t really have a similar playing style,� Joe Bertrand told The Daily Illini in October. Ekey has demonstrated his differences with powerful dunks and, despite being two inches shorter than Griffey, with more of a knack for finding rebounds. Instead, Groce has started comparisons to another member of last year’s team: Sam McLaurin. He said they are both leaders in their first year on the team as fifth-year transfers. Like McLaurin, Ekey has found a way to contribute quickly, more quickly than Groce expected. Groce said Illinois’ defense is much further along this season than it was at this time last year, and he attributes much of that to Ekey’s intelligence. “Jon is an enigma a little bit. That’s why I keep talking about his intelligence,� Groce said. “For him to pick up what we’re doing as fast as he has since the summer speaks volumes about No. 1, his coachability, and No. 2, his teachability. That’s rare, his IQ.� Along with his intelligence,

Illini’s special teams have impressed in 2013 Bentley 1st Illini to have both a kickoff, punt for a touchdown in same season BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

While offense is the sexier side of the ball, and defense is where the tough guys play, not much is made of special teams in college football. But, on the fi eld for just a handful of plays per game, the special teams can swing a game one way or another. In the past few years, the Illini hadn’t taken advantage of the special teams units, always ranking near the bottom of the country in kickoff and punt return yards. Not this year. Last Saturday against No. 3 Ohio State, the Illini looked dead in the water, down 28-0 in the second quarter. After forcing a rare Buckeyes punt, Illinois cornerback V’Angelo Bentley and wide receiver Miles Osei set up back deep to return. The Illini use the duo on both kicks and punt return units, which have seen an uptick in production this year. The ball was punted much further than the pair expected, a whopping 64 yards on the fly,

forcing Bentley to turn completely around and catch the ball over his shoulder. “I knew where the gunner was,� Bentley said. “When I caught it, I looked to my right and came back to the left, just to freeze him a little bit. I knew once I got past him, it was all about making some guys miss and getting north and south.� With the punt return touchdown, Bentley became the fi rst Illini player since 2003 to return a punt back for a touchdown. Combine that with his 100-yard kick return for a touchdown against Southern Illinois in the fi rst game of the year, and Bentley is the fi rst player in school history to have both a kickoff and punt return for a touchdown in the same season. “It means a lot,� Bentley said. “My high school coach always told me to put my name on something, so I’d be the fi rst guy in history to do it, it’s a big accomplishment.� This season, the Illini average 14.4 yards per punt return and 19.5 yard per kick return, ranking 12th and 95th in the nation,

respectively. Illinois averaged 1.6 yard per punt return and 18.8 yard per kick return in 2012 and similarly low numbers in 2011: 2.4 and 15.7, respectively. “Our ultimate goal is to get 10 yards every time we touch the ball,� Osei said. “I think me and V back there, our expectations are a little higher. We expect to make a difference.� While special teams coordinator Tim Salem said special teams are only “16 to 18 percent of the plays,� the importance of shifting field position is at stake every time. In the Ohio State game, each punter had a punt over 60 yards — Ohio State’s Cameron Johnson booted a 71-yard punt — and those shifted the field position in favor of the kicking team. “The unique thing about special teams is unlike offense or defense, where it’s fi rst down, second down, third down, you go out there and it’s one chance,� Salem said. “You get one chance, it’s a one-play possession.� Head coach Tim Beckman said there is a correlation between winning and solid play in the special teams game. The Illinois coaching staff charts all five phases of special teams:

Fantasy doctor: Held accountable to stay credible J.J. WILSON Fantasy doctor

As

a fantasy doctor, I make claims twice a week, every week. I begin by trying to make a point, usually in the form of analysis with dashes of opinion, attempted humor and anti-Philip Rivers comments stirred into the mix. When I’m done, I transition into either pickups and drops or starts and sits, where, with the utmost confidence, I give you advice on how to handle players

on your fantasy football teams. I say these things, and then I move on. Very seldom do I go back and bring up what was said in the past. Maybe I was dead wrong about some of my picks. Maybe I was spot on. (I hope.) It goes both ways, but I don’t tend dwell on what I said. I keep on analyzing the best I can. But as an analyst and a fantasy doctor, I can’t just write these things and leave them completely untouched. All along I’ve known I would eventually have come back to these words and hold myself accountable. That’s why for both entries this week, before I get to the player advice, I’m going to go back to some of

my bolder statements and update you on just how right — or wrong — I was.

Peyton Manning finally lost Yeah, Peyton Manning and the Broncos lost to the Colts, and I finally got to see him lose. The Broncos weren’t flawless anymore, which should have made me happy. But when he entered Lucas Oil Stadium and fans from both sides rose to celebrate his success, I knew something had changed. I had been overly critical of Manning. I didn’t like him because he was a threat to my fantasy season, and his face was

plastered over what felt like was every other news bulletin (I want Papa John’s pizza, not a reminder of what I missed out on in my draft.) But at the end of the day, it wasn’t Manning himself that made me angry; it was his success while my team struggled. It was nothing personal, Manning. I was simply jealous, and for that I can soundly apologize.

New York Giants are still playoff eligible I got this one right. After their bye week, the Giants extended their win streak to four games after defeating Oakland and

Green Bay. But I’m not out of the woods yet on this one. The Giants don’t have it easy from here on out. This week, they welcome conference rivals from Dallas with a lot on the line. A win splits the season with the Cowboys and evens their records — and their playoff chances. A loss means they’ll have to try a lot harder. Unless the Eagles manage back-to-back wins over three teams in the North, the NFC East champion could still be decided in the last few weeks.

Chiefs’ defense fell to its first true offense

Last week, I talked about the then-undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, and how I believe their league-topping defense would show its true colors against its first truly challenging offense on the schedule. Sure enough, the Chiefs fell apart in Denver, allowing 27 points and failing to sack Manning the entire game. The Chiefs’ only saving grace was a fumble recovery, but even that couldn’t stop them from falling negative in points scored. This week, the Chiefs have another conference matchup with the Chargers before a rematch with the Broncos just

Dorn’s re-emergence a late-season boost BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER

It’s been a little more than two years since Anna Dorn tore her ACL. Now, the Illini’s junior middle blocker said she’s finally feeling 100 percent. “We weren’t sure at the beginning of the season if I was going to be able to play back-to-back nights,” Dorn said. “We weren’t sure about how much I was going to be able to jump or anything. Now I can even jump off of one foot to run behind the setter.” It seems as if the Illini’s season has went at the pace Dorn has. Coming off a procedure during the offseason on her ACL, Dorn played sparingly in the opening matches of the season, taking full matches off to rest her knee. Freshman Maddie Mayers stepped in and replicated Dorn’s production, earning a solidified spot in head coach Kevin Hambly’s always-evolving rotation. As the season went on, though, Dorn’s playing time gradually increased and she now has regained her ability to play on an every-night basis. “(The recovery) to me is kind of almost a miracle in my eyes, because I didn’t know anything going into the season,” Dorn said. “It’s been really fun these past few matches.” Dorn has been a vital piece to the Illinois front row that has been dominant in November. In the past five matches, all Illini wins, Dorn has hit the ball efficiently and has stifled the opposition equally well. In November,

Dorn has a nine-to-one ratio of kills to errors, racking up 18 kills to go along with only two errors on 35 attempts. She’s also had 21 blocks in that stretch, helping to hold the Illini’s five opponents to a .186 hitting percentage. Opponents have hit an average of .209 for the season as a whole. During its recent stretch, Illinois was able to hold Iowa to a negative hitting percentage, -.048, the only negative percentage of the season against the Illini. The re-emergence of Dorn has certainly given Illinois the lateseason boost the team needed to gain a berth into the NCAA tournament. The team needs to win only one of its final four games to be eligible for the NCAA tournament, and Hambly believes they’ll make it in with one more win. Dorn’s play has also given Hambly even more confidence in his depth at middle blocker, as he can now choose between Mayers, Dorn and freshman Katie Stadick. “Anna’s a special athlete,” Hambly said. “She’s an experienced player that has played in a lot of big matches and is good in the moment. I think having a player like that is huge and being able to move her behind the set a little bit and move some things around gives us a little more diversity in our offense. “Certainly it’s good for us to have her back. She’s feeling more comfortable so she’s competing a little bit better too and making more plays.”

Moore fills void as only senior on Illini roster BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

FOLAKE OSIBODU THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Amber Moore shoots the ball during the game against Alcorn State at State Farm Center in Champaign, Ill. on Sunday. The Illini won, 112-28.

Although Amber Moore has been making changes in the Illini record book, her impact extends beyond the stat sheet. The 5-foot-11 guard on the Illinois women’s basketball team has taken her game to new heights in her final campaign in Champaign as the only senior on the roster. Moore has increased her scoring total every season in Orange and Blue, but her statistics in 2013-14 have taken her to an elite level. Thus far, Moore has been red-hot from the field, averaging team highs of 24.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. The points per game speak to her effectiveness, but it’s Moore’s efficiency from the field that has fueled her game. Moore is shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from beyond the 3-point line — both well above career-highs. Her performance in the Illini’s past three games earned her Big Ten player of the week honors for the week of Nov. 10. “She’s so much more fit (this year),” head coach Matt Bollant said. “She can do so much more now. She can get to the rim and get to the foul line, whereas before she was just a 3-point shooter.” Moore’s numbers would all be career highs, as she’s nearly doubled her previous bests of 12.5 points per game and 4.4 rebounds per contest in 2012-13. Her rebounding has been the most significant change; Moore is playing for a team that plays

two freshmen at the center position. Moore posted a 19-rebound game against Mississippi Valley State, which almost doubled her previous career high of 10 in one game. It’s not only Moore who’s been effective offensively — the whole Illinois team has been lighting up the scoreboard. The Illini average 96.0 points per game, including a 112-point performance last Sunday against Alcorn State, which was one point away from the school record for most points in a game. A young Illini team with six freshmen needed a leader this season with the departure of Karisma Penn and Adrienne GodBold. Moore has worked to fill the voids left by those two players both on the court and in the locker room. “It’s a big difference,” Moore said. “Not only being the only senior and a leader, but trying to get the young ones going in the right direction and being positive all the time.” Bollant said he never had a doubt that Moore would fill the role of team leader. “I guess it was just to what degree,” he added. “She’s been stronger in her leadership and her vocal skills because of how well she’s played.” In her final season, Moore has already put a mark on the program in the record book. Moore was the 26th player in Illini history to break 1,000 career points and will go down as one of the best shooters in Illinois histo-

ry. The senior had already set the career record for 3-pointers attempted in a career and last year made the most threes in a single season, but she broke the record for most threes made in a game against Valparaiso. Her record of 86 3-pointers made in 2012-13 could be in danger again this season. Moore has already hit 22 shots from deep this season which puts her on pace for over 150 this season. While Moore said she doesn’t pay much attention to the records, she said that her mom is always keeping track of them, and told her about the 3-point record in the preseason. “She was very excited and proud of me,” Moore said. “They all just said keep working hard and everything will fall into place.” All of these statistics came against nonconference opponents, and Bollant said he expects a dip in production as the Illini face stronger teams, but one thing that won’t change is Moore’s leadership of a young team learning how to play together. “I think I’ve always been a leader by example, but I’m working on being a vocal leader,” Moore said. “It’s something they challenged me with this season. ... I’ve been working on not getting down when you face adversity because that’s when you need to be the most vocal.”

Women’s club soccer aims for national championship title BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Puffs of breath float away into the air, mixing with leaves that have blown from trees and are now scattered across the turf. Under the glow of the moon and the remaining lights, the Illinois women’s soccer club team is the sole body left at the campus recreation practice fields. “Beep!” As coach Tom Sahajdack emulates the sound of a whistle, the players rotate and each take three penalty kicks until the last member makes her final shot and elongated shrieks of the word “goal” are heard. The lighthearted celebratory screams break the cry of the wind that had overshadowed the sounds of the whoosh of the ball reaching the net or the thud of the goalie hitting the hard turf. Finishing practice with these kicks, the team is making final tweaks before it contends for a national title in the Championship Division at the NIRSA

National Soccer Championships in Phoenix, Ariz., this week. Penalty kicks cost the team first place at last year’s Open Division tournament against James Madison University. However, with a strong core group of seniors and a higher division to compete in, this year is different for the team. “The girls are out here in six layers, barely able to move sometimes,” Sahajdack said. “It was so cold this past week. There are teams out there able to practice in 60s year round. But we’re going to be a little tougher cause we’re willing to work that much harder. Girls are willing to come out in 25 degrees to play and improve.” Under the leadership of seniors Erin Karner, Stephanie Sullivan, Valentina Ricupati and Michelle Wong, who have played together since their freshman year, there is a confidence in a team that is strong in talent and drive. “It’s been pretty amazing,” Ricupati said. “It’s been awe-

some to have us four together to the end because there have been people who have come and gone. This year I honestly think that we have one of the best teams of my four years here because of our core group.” Crowned champions of the Open Division their freshman year, these four have witnessed the program’s growth as they won big, but then struggled their sophomore season with a new coach who didn’t really understand the team’s dynamic. Together for their final season, the quartet’s goal for the team was a high one: earning a bid to the Championship Division, instead of the Open Division, at nationals. The Championship Division is more competitive than the Open, Sahajdak compared the disparity to that of the NCAA Tournament and the NIT Tournament. The entire season saw the girls preparing both physically and mentally. Whether it was reiterating their team’s goal after every

practice or exchanging inspirational quotes before each game, the seniors found new ways to spark a competitive spirit. “Being president has put me in leadership role that I’ve really enjoyed,” said team president Karner. “I love it. I feel like the mom of the team. I feel like I’ve taken girls under my wing and just try to make the team as motivated as we can both mentally and physically.” While the seniors have stepped up, Sahajdack has also helped the team be the best they can be. “Tom (Sahajdack) is great,” Karner said. “He definitely implements new types of drills and keeps practices fresh. He really notices specific things during games that he can help us improve on during practice. It’s definitely not stagnant and it’s really motivating for us.” A fourth year Ph.D. student in economics, Sahajdack has experience both playing and coaching club soccer during his undergraduate years at Arizona State.

He also currently plays on the Illinois men’s club soccer team. The perspective he adds having played club soccer and the consistency of him staying another year to coach have provided a foundation for a strong team. “I’m lucky as a coach because the girls work really hard,” Sahajdack said. “I don’t have to do a lot to motivate. They are always ready to work and ready to play. That kind of preparation has paid off.” The Illinois women’s club soccer team finished the regular season 9-1, giving them the No. 2 power ranked spot in the Midwest, behind Ohio State. This ranking also gave them a bid to the Championship Division at nationals. At the Nov. 2-3 regionals tournament in Columbus, Ohio, the team won its group in pool play and tied for third place after losing to Dayton in the semifinals. But, during pool play, the team beat the No. 1 Midwest team, Ohio State.

With the No. 2 power ranking, the Illini were able to use regionals as practice before the national tournament. In its pool play at nationals, Illinois will face Califonia Polytechnic and the Colorado “Gold” team. The 70-degree temperatures and sunshine will be a far cry from the freezing cold in which the team has been practicing. Yet, the Illini seniors who’ve been through the ups and downs know the potential of the team and won’t let missed penalty kicks stop them from reaching their goal like last year. “Every day I come to practice and every day its kind of it’s like: ‘Ugh, practice again,’” Sullivan said. “I always laugh with my friends that I dread going to practice, and I come home with the biggest smile on my face. It’s hard once you get there, but once you get back you’re like: ‘Yeah, I am loving it.’”

Badgers quarterback brings beneficial adjustments at line of scrimmage BY JEFF POTRYKUS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

MADISON, Wis. — Most weeks this season, whether after a victory or a defeat, Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen has been asked to assess the overall performance of quarterback Joel Stave. Andersen hasn’t shied away from noting the errant throws that have been an issue in several games. However, Andersen has made sure to note the redshirt soph-

omore has consistently made proper adjustments at the line of scrimmage on running plays. Stave sometimes checks to a new play, and other times he changes the play to the opposite side of the formation. “So much of it is checked on the line of scrimmage,” Andersen said. Identifying a successful audible isn’t always easy. Yet one play that stands out occurred in the third quarter of Wisconsin’s 27-17

victory over BYU in Game 9. The Badgers’ lead was 20-10 in the third quarter and two plays after a 73-yard punt they faced second-and-5 from their 12. Wisconsin deployed two wide receivers (Jared Abbrederis and Jordan Fredrick) to the right, fullback Derek Watt and running back James White in an I-formation and tight end Jacob Pedersen next to left tackle Tyler Marz. Wisconsin’s players were lined up with 14 seconds left on the

play clock. Then with about nine seconds left on the clock, Stave began alerting his teammates of the change and the ball was snapped with four seconds left. White took the handoff from Stave and started to his right. Watt executed a cut block that took linebacker Alani Fua out of the play near the line of scrimmage. Fredrick did the same to defensive back Daniel Sorensen at the 20. Right tackle Rob Havenstein sealed his man to the inside

and Abbrederis occupied defensive back Robertson Daniel long enough to allow White to reach the sideline. White gained 26 yards to the 38 to give Wisconsin’s offense room to breathe. White capped the 10-play, 92-yard drive with a 14-yard touchdown run on the third play of the fourth quarter. “We have a lot of those in our scheme and if we don’t get the look that we like, we’re going to change to a play we know is

going to work,” said redshirt freshman center Dan Voltz, who started against BYU in place of injured Dallas Lewallen. “That is kind of the beauty of this offense. “No matter what defense they present to us, we are going to have a play call that is going to look good and then it is a matter of us making the blocks.” Wisconsin (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten) faces host Minnesota (8-2, 4-2) at 2:30 p.m. CST Saturday.

Sports not for those with weak stomachs something off the field that leaves fans gasping for air. When Penn State and Joe Paterno were rocked by scandal, almost everyone was in disbelief. JoePa was college football’s granddaddy for four decades. The revelations drew very public protest, which was simply the gut reaction of fans that felt incredulity and sadness at the actions of their favorite coach. When morals are compromised, a bad taste lingers in the mouth of those observing, and what happened in State College, Pa., is a perfect example of that. In addition to committing moral missteps, athletes can also inspire turbulent stomachs with their tendency to eschew team loyalty for monetary gain. Most famously, in “The Decision,� LeBron James melted the faces (imagine “Raiders of the Lost Ark�) of everyone in Ohio with the words, “I’m going to take my talents to South Beach.� LeBron did nothing to deserve prison or moral reprimand, but he left many basketball fans queasy thinking about his motives to leave his hometown and massive fan base. The final widespread cause of sickness is gruesome injury. Most college basketball fans will remember Louisville’s Kevin Ware, who broke his leg in a horrific way during last seasons’ NCAA tournament. CBS showed two replays of the injury and stopped there, soothing the worries of most people who watched the game live. Another instance of a painful injury came this football season, when Cincinnati quarterback Munchie Legaux destroyed his

here are moments in sports that make you want to vomit, but that desire to vomit can emerge in a few different ways. Sometimes sights or sounds make you sick. Sometimes a favorite coach or athlete has been revealed to be a scumbag (sorry kids, it happens), and sometimes a really exciting game ends in a way that is unsatisfying or unsavory. The last instance occurred twice this weekend. On Sunday night late in the fourth quarter of the Saints-49ers game, the 49ers’ Ahmad Brooks drew a roughing the passer penalty on a strip-sack of Drew Brees that would have iced the game for San Francisco. The Saints went on to kick a field goal, which tied the game, and eventually they won on another field goal as time expired. On Monday night, the Panthers defeated the New England Patriots 24-20, but the game ended on a controversial pass interference call on the Panthers’ Luke Kuechly that was waved off by the officials. Both instances left football fans nationwide clutching the Pepto-Bismol and wondering what happened. It is just not fun when a yellow beanbag, a balk or two shots at the free throw line decide a game. Nausea ensues. Nausea also ensues any time a big time player or coach does

Watching the game live was enough to make most of the Illinois student section sit down with greenish faces and grimaces. Fans watch sports for fun and

for entertainment, and obviously, it is not perfect. Someone will always be upset with the result, but as long as the result is clean and fair, most people are just happy or mad.

When fans begin to feel personally disturbed, sports cease to be fun. It’s just a shame that sometimes things don’t work out the way we want them to. Now excuse

Hockey refocuses with defensive resurgence have started realizing what we have to do when it’s crunch time or when we’re down,� junior defenseman Kyle Clark said. “We’re a hard gritty team, and that’s what we’ve got to do. Just be defensive.� Since an 8-1 loss against Ohio on their home ice, the Illini have allowed a total of just four goals in three games, including an impressive shutout victory on the road against Indiana. Clark remembers the 8-1 defeat and said it sparked the rest of the team to lock down defensively.

BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

Despite having a second team All-American goaltender guarding their net, the Illinois hockey team looked like it was going to have defensive issues earlier in the season. With the team collectively becoming more focused on protecting senior goalie Nick Clarke, the defense has made a noticeable turnaround. “A lot of guys are just sacrificing their bodies for the team and

“We feel bad for Clarke when he’s out there playing in a consecutive game, and we go out there and don’t help him out,� Clark said. “We don’t want him getting lit up the entire time because it’s not fair to him. It’s on us.� Clarke is never one to make excuses for himself, but he has definitely noticed the refocused defensive effort in front of him. “The guys are just starting to sacrifice their bodies for the team,� Clarke said. “The past

couple of games we’ve had a lot more blocked shots and turnovers, which has been a change from what we saw in the beginning of the year. It’s just the guys being willing to take the extra step for the team.� When asked if pulling Clarke out of the game during the 8-1 loss to Ohio a few weeks ago was a wake-up call for the rest of the team, head coach Nick Fabbrini agreed somewhat. “I think that losing 8-1 was a bit

of a wake-up call, too,� Fabbrini said. “I think it led to us playing with some more pride.� When asked about the recent defensive resurgence, the first thing any player has mentioned is the team’s shot blocking. Fabbrini noted that the Illini blocked more shots than they had turnovers in the shutout victory over Indiana, and that’s something he wants to happen in every game moving forward. The Illinois defense will look to

remain stingy when it travels to Oklahoma this weekend. “I think that defensively we’ve defi nitely gotten a lot better the past three games,� Fabbrini said. “For us, it’s about bringing an effort and intensity for a full 60 minutes, and if we do that, I like our chances against anybody.�

FANTASY a week later at home. It’s going to be tough to stay on top of the defensive leaderboards, but as I said before, these next games will be an honest telling of where the 2013 Chiefs defense belongs in NFL history. Later this week, I’ll be talking about some of my brightest moments — and biggest blunders — in terms of pickups and drops and starts and sits. In the meantime, keep the faith and check out your fantasy doctor’s weekly pickups and drops. Bye Weeks: Buffalo, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Seattle

PICKUPS Rashad Jennings (running back, Raiders, 43.7 percent owned in ESPN leagues) — As Terrelle Pryor’s presence has diminished, Jennings has become all the more dominant. Darren McFadden’s and Pryor’s injuries have worked in tandem to pile the pressure on Jennings shoulders, but he’s held. Since McFadden dropped off the map in Week 9, Jennings has posted two 20-point weeks, each with a touchdown and more than 100 yards. His averages also show about six yards per carry and

THE DAILY ILLINI | WWW.DAILYILLINI.COM

113.3 yards per game. In Week 12, Jennings very well could run away with the game against a Tennessee run defense that has allowed five touchdowns and more that 250 yards in the last three weeks. Delanie Walker (tight end, Titans, 12 percent) — The Titans aren’t exactly a strong passing team, but then again the Raiders aren’t the best at stopping the pass, either, which is a perfect opportunity for Walker. While Tennessee’s defense may have trouble stopping the run, its offense is more than likely to take advantage of Oakland’s pass defense, which has allowed 2,527 yards and 19 touchdowns passing this season. Since Ryan Fitzpatrick stepped in as quarterback two weeks ago, Walker has been his favorite target, catching 14 of 18 targets for 153 yards and two touchdowns. If you’re in need of a tight end, picking up Walker could prove to be your best move of the week.

DROPS Trent Richardson (running back, Colts, 100 percent) — Remember when Richardson could produce? Yeah, I know — it can be hard to think back that far.

His first two weeks in Indy looked promising, with a total of 33 carries for 95 yards and two touchdowns (21 points). But in the six weeks since, Richardson has been practically useless, his weekly run yardage capping at 56 yards. He hasn’t scored a touchdown, either, which is the biggest red flag a fantasy rusher can have. He simply lacks productivity, and in a game all about number production, he has little value on the roster. Don’t let Richardson ride your bench for another day. Cecil Shorts III (wide receiver, Jaguars, 90.5 percent) — No matter how many cool fantasy team names can be formed using Shorts’ name, he’s bad news for any squad. Short of one touchdown catch and one week of 143 yards receiving, Shorts has done little to earn the affection of fantasy owners. Most weeks, he falls short and leaves fantasy owners who started him caught with their shorts around their ankles. (OK, I’ll stop.) My point is that Shorts can’t serve as a viable starter, even in a bye week. So don’t keep him around, even if your team name is “Cecil’s by the C Shorts.�

Tolzein’s success falls short in loss to Giants BY TOM SILVERSTEIN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Unless Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy and his offensive staff figure out a way to turn 339 yards passing into more than 13 points, they might as well just cross their fingers and hope they’re still in playoff contention when Aaron Rodgers returns from a broken collarbone. MetLife Stadium became a wasteland of unfinished drives for the Packers in their 27-13 loss to the New York Giants despite outgaining their opponent, 394 yards to 334. Nine of Scott Tolzien’s 24 completions were for 16 or more yards — the minimum distance to qualify as an “explosive� play in the Packers’ lexicon — including six that ranged from 18 to 52 yards. Even with three interceptions, Tolzien easily could have had the Packers on the other side of the ledger if he had been able to finish a couple of drives. “I have never seen a quarterback hit all his big throws like that in a game,� said McCarthy, who is in his 27th year coaching in the professional and college ranks. Six of the Packers’ 12 series featured at least one “explosive� play, yet only two of them resulted in scores — a touchdown and a field goal. The rest ended, in order: punt, interception, downs and downs. As offensive coordinator Tom Clements pointed out, there was a hollow feeling to the terrific pass numbers. “We made some big plays down the field, had a lot of passing yardage,� he said Wednesday. “I mean, so what, we had a lot of passing yardage. We didn’t score points. That’s the biggest thing.� As the Packers prepare this week for the Minnesota Vikings, their focus has to be on what they can do to make Tolzien more successful — McCarthy named Tolzien his starter again this week

without unequivocally ruling out Rodgers — and apply whatever lessons they learned in the Giants game. One McCarthy will have to consider is not being as stubborn about running the ball against a defense devoting so many players to the line of scrimmage as the Giants did Sunday. It’s almost preposterous that such a thing could even occur given McCarthy’s previous devotion to the passing game. As McCarthy notes, “as soon as we got off the bus� the Giants were playing eight men in the box with only a single safety to cover the middle of the field. One can imagine that if Rodgers were under center in that situation, McCarthy might have thrown it 50 times. Once McCarthy saw he was running into a brick wall against the Giants, he began running more play-action passes, but he also kept ramming rookie Eddie Lacy into the teeth of the defense. Lacy ran 14 times for 17 yards, and John Kuhn and James Starks combined for three carries for 11 yards. “We have a plan based on the personnel that we have,� Clements said. “Not just the quarterback but everyone involved. And obviously you make adjustments during the course of the game as needed. It just took us awhile to get going. We weren’t productive running the ball as much as we would have liked.� There’s no question that Tolzien’s first two interceptions were momentum killers, but had the Packers been able to go to their no-huddle offense and continue to put pressure on the Giants’ defense they might have made it close. McCarthy never opened up the offense that way, even though he did have Tolzien try to throw over the top of the Giants’ defense a half dozen times. He just never went into the fast-tempo, no-huddle attack Rodgers has used to stress opposing defenses. go to practice,� Groce said, saying Ekey will rank in the top three in rebounding and take and make open shots. Ekey has consistently graded as one of the top Illini in practice. “Coach is always saying we are what we do every day,� Ekey said.

TYSON TRISH MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Tramon Williams of the Green Bay Packers trips up Brandon Jacobs of the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday. The New York Giants beat the Green Bay Packers, 27-13. Asked if the coaches have done enough to highlight Tolzien’s passing talents, Clements said they have. “We’ve looked at what we think he can do and have tried to give him plays that will make him and us successful,� he said. “Not ask him to do things that it takes him a while to learn how to do.� So, could he run the no-huddle offense? “I think he could,� Clements said. “Who knows when that could be? As I said, part of what makes no-huddle go is having a quarterback who’s in tune with both the offense and the defense and what So far, the consistency and grading out in practice has turned into production on the court — production that can no longer be ignored.

they’re doing and can see things and make quick decisions. And with experience, he should be able to do that.� McCarthy said that as soon as the coaches got back from New Jersey, they began talking about what they might see from the Vikings on Sunday at Lambeau Field. They had planned on the Giants devoting an extra guy to the run, but they also figured they could still have success with Lacy. Now they know they were wrong. Minnesota has a different type of defense, so McCarthy and his staff must try to develop a game plan that allows them to

The one thing they know is that they have someone who can complete passes. “So, he has a lot of good football ahead of him.

IOTW inside the penalty area. “My old goalkeeper coach used to tell me, ‘You’ve got to pretend you’re putting it in the toilet and flush it,� Wheatley said of how she handles a bad game. “Obviously it wasn’t a great experience, but you can’t dwell on that. The longer you dwell on a bad experience, the harder it is to move on.� Wheatley may have had all offseason to dwell on the loss. Illinois was a bubble team for the NCAA tournament, and was one of the last teams announced during the selection show. Head coach Janet Rayfield stuck with Wheatley for the starting spot, and the choice paid off. Illinois was outshot 17-4 in the fi rst half, but Wheatley stopped all seven shots on goal. Not to be outdone by her fi rst half performance, Wheatley added four more saves in the second half and overtime of that game. She then blocked two of the Cougars’ penalty kicks to help give Illinois the win. Even with the pressure at its highest, Wheatley was able to remain level-headed. “For me it’s all about staying loose,� Wheatley said. “(And) not getting really tense.� Despite the muddy and wet weather conditions, Wheatley was able to get her body in front of shots. She knew she was not going to be able to get her hands on the ball, but she wanted to be able to save the rebound before a Washington State player could get to it. Wheatley has made a number of top-drawer saves for the Illini in just her fi rst season, but her impact goes beyond stops. Early in her Illini career, she struggled with vocally and physically establishing dominance in her box. Wheatley’s communication gotten better. “(Claire) has become a leader,� defender Casey Conine said. “We hear a lot from her, and we’re confident playing it back (to her). She tells us where she needs us to be and that’s because she’s more connected with us.�
