University students will travel to China to compete against students from around the world to build the best solar-powered home. This will be the fi rst year the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon , an interna-
tional design competition where 20 universities design and construct sustainable homes, is held in China . The competition will take place in Datong, China in August, and the winning house will be built there. Winners will return in the spring to help with construction. The University fi rst started
participating in the U.S.-based competitions in 2007 but has not placed since 2009, when the team won second prize. Some universities have teamed up with universities in other countries. This year’s University team, which is composed of students from various colleges, has partnered with Peking University in China. “It is an honor to be the partner to Peking University because they were selected to organize China’s fi rst solar decathlon competition,” said Kevin Donovan,
project manager and graduate student in architecture. “Peking chose us based on our success in previous competitions. It is really a great thing for U of I.” The ultimate goal of the team is to make a net zero house, meaning its energy consumption has to break even with its energy production, which in this case will be via solar power. The houses will be judged on their performances in 10 categories: architecture, market appeal, engineering, com-

Ill. experiences drop in holiday car fatalities BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER
This year’s Thanksgiving weekend brought record-low crash fatalities. Data collected by the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Division of Traffic Safety showed decline in fatal car crashes from the 6 p.m. the night before Thanksgiving to midnight Nov. 25, with only three incidents this year compared with eight last year. On average, there have been about 12 deaths from car crashes each year since 2009, with about 50 percent of the incidents being alcohol-related, according to the Division of Traffic Safety. To combat extensive reports of drinking and driving over the holiday and especially what is referred to as “blackout Wednesday,” IDOT along with hundreds of law enforcement agencies and the Secretary of State’s office launched the “Drive to Survive” campaign Nov. 19. The campaign urged drivers to buckle up and avoid drinking and driving as an increased number of law enforcement officers would be on the roads. IDOT Secretary Ann Schneider said in a news release that the state has been working to improve traffic safety on Illinois roadways, especially over holiday weekends. “Under Gov. Quinn’s leadership, statewide seat belt usage rates are at record highs and annual traffic fatalities appear on track to total less than 1,000 for the fourth consecutive year,” she said. “Major capital improvements under way for Illinois roads and bridges should continue to reap logistical and safety benefits for motorists in years to come.” IDOT spokesman Josh Kauffman said that this year, the department aimed to involve more enforcement agencies and media campaigns. Kauffman said the campaign is expected to continue through the end of the year. “I think the public did get the message,” said Dave Druker, spokesman at the Secretary of State’s office. “It seems like, by and large, the crashes were at a minimum.” As someone who drove to Chicago last year in December during the holidays, Ho Jae Nam , senior in LAS, said it is a relief to know that the state cares about traffic safety. “Last year when I was driving, I barely saw any police officers on the road,” Nam said. “It is good to know that police offi cers will be overlooking traffic safety.”

Palestinians celebrate as they watch a screen showing the U.N. General Assembly votes on a resolution to upgrade the status of the Palestinian Authority to a nonmember observer state in the west bank city of Ramallah on Thursday. The U.N. General Assembly has voted by a more than two-thirds majority to recognize the state of Palestine. The resolution upgrading the Palestinians' status to a nonmember observer state at the United Nations was approved by the 193-member world body late Thursday by a vote of 138-9 with 41 abstentions.
UN votes to recognize Palestinian state BY KARIN LAUB, MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH AND EDITH M. LEDERER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Exactly 65 years after Palestinians rejected a United Nations partition plan for Israel, the organization granted statehood to Palestine on Thursday. The historic General Assembly decision to accept “Palestine” as a non-member observer state won’t immediately change lives there, since much of the territory of that state — the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — remains under Israeli control. Palestinians say the recognition isn’t just symbolic. They believe U.N. recognition will strengthen their hand in future talks with Israel, which has lambasted the Pales-
tinian move as an attempt to bypass such negotiations. Some University students feel that the U.N.’s decision may not change much in the Middle East. “I think for the most (relations) will stay the same,” said Lauren Neiberg, president of Israel Illini and senior in LAS . “It’s safe to say for now nothing is going to change.” Yet many Palestinians savored the massive global recognition — 138 of 193 General Assembly members voted “yes,” with 41 abstentions — following decades of setbacks in the quest for Palestinian independence in lands Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast War. “It’s a great feeling to have a state, even if in name only,” said civil servant Mohammed Srour, 28, stand-
ing in a fl ag-waving a crowd of more than 2,000 packed into a square in the West Bank city of Ramallah. “The most beautiful dream of any man is to have an independent state, particularly for us Palestinians who have lived under occupation for a long time.” The United States and Israel immediately criticized the vote. “Today’s unfortunate and counterproductive resolution places further obstacles in the path of peace,” said U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice. Dana Al-Qadi , graduate student and member of Students for Justice in Palestine, said recognizing Palestine as a state will not impede the peace process. “I believe the United States voted no because Israel voted no, and the
U.S. foreign policy is very much dictated by Israel and their desires,” she said. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the U.N. vote as meaningless and accused Abbas of delivering a “defamatory and venomous” U.N. speech “full of mendacious propaganda” against Israel. Netanyahu argued that the U.N. move violated past agreements between Israel and the Palestinians and that Israel would act accordingly but did not elaborate on what steps it might take. The Palestinians reject Israel’s claim that the recognition bid is an attempt to dictate the future borders of Palestine. Instead, they say,

Women’s Resource Center hosts panel about body image BY MADDIE REHAYEM STAFF WRITER
Students and community members were encouraged to “come as they were” Thursday night to the Women’s Resource Center to participate in a panel discussion and Q-and-A about body image and empowerment. Amanda Hwu, sophomore in social work, organized the event, called “As You Are,” because she saw a need for more such programs. “I really wanted to get (body image-related events) started again and give resources to people to find out more and really explore the empowerment that comes with these kind of events,” she said. About 50 students and community members gathered at the center

where the panel shared personal experiences and discussed advancements in diagnosing eating disorders and the spectrum of weightrelated health issues. Janet Liechty, a social work professor who studies family influence on body image, was on the panel at the event. She said she has also struggled with body image. “I would say my healing journey was really in college when I found women’s groups like this and really for the first time deconstructed a lot of those messages that get put on us,” she said. She emphasized the importance of resistance when “(managing) all these projections.” Other panel members discussed cultural identity.
Jessica Robinson, a graduate student on the panel, researches hiphop feminism and black girlhood. She spoke about the media’s portrayal of black women. “They’re silent but their bodies are very apparent,” she said, referring to the women in music videos, which she admitted aspiring to be like as a child. “When we look at black women in the media, we’re not really looking at Michelle Obama” Rachel Storm, program coordinator at the Women’s Resource Center, thought the program spoke to the values of the center. “Opportunities to talk about body image open up a lot of discussion for building self-esteem in young people,” she said. “Especially college-age women are inundated with
messages of body negativity that encourage them to not value their bodies and to instead have shame around their bodies.” Andi Phillips, an alum of the School of Social Work, shared her way of “internalizing” the comments others made about her body as a girl. Instead of rejecting the notion of having a big butt, she “chose to embrace that.” It gave her a leg up when boxing out other players on the basketball court. “I remember thinking, “Yeah, you’re right; I am going to use it. And I embraced it,” she said. “I was recognizing what my body could do.”

Donovan said the University will compete against countries such as Israel, Iran, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Australia and Egypt. The University will build its fourth house in 2013. This year, University competitors have designed their home with unique features such as LED lighting, automatic controls for lighting and devices like TVs and sustainable materials, such as bamboo, cork floors and recycled glass countertops. The design for the home also includes elements of Chinese architecture. “Since it is in China and we are working with a Chinese partner, we tried to model our house conceptually after a Chinese traditional house,” said Zak Helmick, project architect and graduate student in architecture. “So we utilized features like the entry courtyard using a private entrance and tried to relate our design as much as we can to the general public in China while keeping it energy effi cient and modern.” Datong has been making efforts to transition to being more environmentally friendly. At the same time, they are hoping to retain elements of its history and culture. “This competition is truly unique because in China, as part of this entire new sustainable development, they are going to permanently site their houses if they perform well enough, and they will buy the houses and showcase them,” Donovan said. Mike Wang, project engineer and graduate student in Engineering, said the solar decathalon is about more than building a home. “The solar decathlon China competition gives me the opportunity to work with and learn from so many talented people from different academic disciplines,” Wang said. “I am humbled by the enthusiasm, drive and intelligence of this year’s team.”

PALESTINE FROM PAGE 1A it’s a last-ditch attempt to rescue peace efforts threatened by Israeli settlement building on occupied land. Since 1967, half a million Israelis have settled on lands the U.N. says are part of Palestine. Tariq Shihadeh, president of Students for Justice in Palestine and sophomore in DGS , said the U.N. vote will affect Palestinians more than Israelis. “I think probably it will have little effect on the state of Israel but more so on the Palestinian people,” he said. “It will create greater unity for the Palestinan people.” Most immediately, the Palestinian Authority, which relies heavily on foreign aid and is struggling with the worst cash crisis in its 18-year history, could face further funding cuts over the U.N. bid. The affi rmation of the pre1967 line as the border of Palestine also poses a direct challenge to Netanyahu who has refused to accept that demarcation as a basis for border talks with the Palestinians. Abbas and his aides have said that the Israeli leader’s rejection of such a framework for negotiations, accepted by his predecessors, helped push them to go to the U.N. The Palestinians could also gain access to U.N. agencies and international bodies, most significantly the International Criminal Court, which could become a springboard for going after Israel for alleged war crimes or its ongoing settlement building on war-won land. In Washington, a bipartisan group of senators warned the Palestinians they could lose U.S. fi nancial support of millions of dollars a year and risk the shutdown of their Washington office if they use their enhanced U.N. status against Israel. Israel could also suspend the monthly transfer of millions of dollars in tax rebates it collects on behalf of the Palestinians, a punitive step it has taken in the past.

Activists in Syria reached Thursday by satellite telephone confirmed the unprecedented blackout, which comes amid intense fighting in the capital, Damascus.
Internet service goes down across Syria BY BASSEM MROUE AND ZEINA KARAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Internet service went down Thursday across Syria and international fl ights were canceled at the Damascus airport when a road near the facility was closed by heavy fighting in the country’s civil war. Activists said President Bashar Assad’s regime pulled the plug on the Internet, perhaps in preparation for a major offensive. Cellphone service also went out in Damascus and parts of central Syria, they said. The government blamed rebel fight-
ers for the outages. With pressure building against the regime on several fronts and government forces on their heels in the battle for the northern commercial hub of Aleppo, rebels have recently begun pushing back into Damascus after largely being driven out of the capital following a July offensive. One Damascus resident reported seeing rebel forces near a suburb of the city previously deemed to be safe from fighting. The Internet outage, confi rmed by two U.S.-based companies that monitor online connectivity, is unprecedented in
Syria’s 20-month-old uprising against Assad, which activists say has killed more than 40,000 people. Regime forces suffered a string of tactical defeats in recent weeks, losing air bases and other strategic facilities. The government may be trying to blunt additional rebel offensives by hampering communications. U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland condemned what she called the regime’s “assault” on Syrians’ ability to communicate with each other and express themselves. She said the move spoke to a des-
perate attempt by Assad to cling to power. Syrian authorities often cut phone and Internet service in select areas to disrupt rebel communications when regime forces are conducting major operations. The government sent mixed signals about the Internet outage but denied it was nationwide. The pro-regime TV station Al-Ikhbariya quoted Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi as saying that “terrorists” have targeted Internet cables, interrupting service in several cities. Separately, state-run TV said the outage was due to a technical
failure that affected some provinces, adding that technicians were trying to fix it. Activists in Syria, reached by satellite telephones unaffected by the outage, confi rmed the communications problems. A young Syrian businessman who lives in an upscale neighborhood of Damascus, which some refer to as part of “the green zone” because it has remained relatively safe, sent a text message to an Associated Press reporter Thursday that said the Internet had been cut in his area and that mobile phone service was cutting out.
Monks, protestors met with violence over copper mine BY YADANA HTUN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONYWA, Myanmar — Security forces used water cannons, tear gas and smoke bombs to clear protesters from a copper mine in northwestern Myanmar, wounding villagers and Buddhist monks in the biggest use of force against demonstrators since the reformist government of President Thein Sein took office last year. Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who arrived in the area hours later on a previously scheduled visit, said she would try to negotiate a solution. In a statement broadcast on state television, the government initially acknowledged using the riot-control measures but denied using excessive force. In an unusual move, it later retracted the statement without explanation. Monks and other protesters had serious burns after the crackdown at the Letpadaung mine near the town of Monywa. Protesters who oppose the mine’s impact on villagers and the environment had occupied the area for 11 days. “I didn’t expect to be treated like this, as we were peacefully protesting,” said Aung Myint Htway, a peanut farmer whose face and body were covered with black patches of burned skin. The police action risks becoming a public relations and political fiasco for Thein Sein’s government, which has been touting
its transition to democracy after almost five decades of repressive military rule. “This is unacceptable,” said Ottama Thara, a 25-year-old monk who was at the protest. “This kind of violence should not happen under a government that says it is committed to democratic reforms.” Police moved early Thursday to disperse protesters after some heeded earlier warnings to leave. “Around 2:30 a.m. police announced they would give us five minutes to leave,” Aung Myint Htway said. He said police fired water cannons first and then shot what he and others called flare guns. “They fi red black balls that exploded into fire sparks. They shot about six times. People ran away and they followed us,” he said, still writhing hours later from pain. “It’s very hot.” Photos of the wounded monks showed they had sustained serious burns on parts of their bodies. It was unclear what sort of weapon caused them, or whether the burns were caused by their shelters catching fire from whatever devices police used. The government had defended its actions in a statement issued by the government’s official information office Thursday afternoon. It denied using excessive force and said it used fi re hoses, tear gas and smoke bombs according to international standards for riot control. The statement declared that the authori-

Supporters of Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi dance before the start of a public rally with her attendance in front of Letpadaung mine in Monywa town, northwestern Myanmar, on Thursday. Security forces used water cannons, tear gas and smoke bombs Thursday to clear protesters from a copper mine. ties took action for the sake of rule of law and in the interests of the country and its people, and said the project operated in accordance with international environmental standards. Later, however, the president’s office issued a one-sentence statement recalling the information office’s statement without explanation. The move may reflect sensitivities over the injuries monks suffered or second thoughts over admitting that authorities used force. Suu Kyi’s visit to nearby KanKone village had been scheduled before the crackdown. The Nobel Peace laureate, elected to parliament after spending most of the last two decades under house arrest, unexpectedly went to the mine to meet with its operators before making her speech. “I already met one side. I met with mine operators. I want to
meet with villagers and protesters,” she said. “I want to negotiate hearing from both sides.” She asked the crowd to be patient. “I haven’t made any decision yet. I want to meet with both sides and negotiate,” she said in a speech that lasted less than 15 minutes. “Will you agree with my negotiating?” The crowd shouted its assent. Some of Suu Kyi’s comments suggested that she may not fully embrace the tactics of the protesters. “When dealing with people, I don’t always follow what people like. I only tell the truth,” she said. “I will work for the longterm benefit of the country.” After her speech, she went to the hospital where many of the injured were being treated, and met with protest leaders at the hotel in Monywa where she is staying. Thwe Thwe Win, a female protest leader, said after-
ward: “We will wait for Aung San Suu Kyi to negotiate with the companies. But we will not stop the protest until we achieve our demands, though I cannot tell you how we will proceed at this point.” Ohn Kyaing, a spokesman for Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party, said she told the mine’s executives that force should not have been used. He said the executives said they did not direct the action, and that it had been the work of the state security forces. Ohn Kyaing said Suu Kyi on Friday would meet with officials in charge of the crackdown, as well as local villagers and their representatives. Villagers affected by the mine claim they did not receive satisfactory compensation and demand a more comprehensive environmental impact assessment.
State representative indicted on bank fraud, says charges are ‘ridiculous’ BY DON BABWIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Illinois state Rep. La Shawn Ford was indicted Thursday on federal bank fraud and other charges, less than a year after another Chicago-area state representative was indicted on federal charges, kicked out of the state House but then sent back by voters. In a news release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Northern Illinois alleged that Ford, a Chicago Democrat, fraudulently obtained a
$500,000 increase and a two-year extension on a line of credit from the failed ShoreBank. In the release, prosecutors said the charges do not involve Ford’s position as a legislator. They say he falsely stated that he intended to use the funds for work related to his real-estate business. Instead, they say, he put the money toward car loans, credit cards, payments to a casino and his 2006 campaign for state representative. Ford, who has operated Ford Desired Real Estate Inc. and
invested personally in real estate, told the Chicago Sun-Times that the charges were “ridiculous,” adding that “there’s no bank fraud in my blood.” Ford also released an email addressed to his constituents in which he said he believes he’s innocent of the charges he only recently was informed about. “I believe I did not break the law, and I look forward to the truth being told and justice being served,” wrote Ford, who represents the 8th House District, which
includes the west side of Chicago and several suburbs. He said he would not step down. Ford, who won office in 2006, is known for hosting regular career fairs in the Chicago area through his workforce development initiative, which includes email blasts with employment leads. His indictment follows the March indictment of another Chicago Democrat, state Rep. Derrick Smith, on charges that he accepted a $7,000 bribe in exchange for helping what he thought was a day
care center to obtain a state grant. Smith had been appointed to his seat. After his House colleagues voted 100-6 to relieve him of his duties, he refused to take his name off the ballot and was elected last month to a full term. David Morrison, of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, said that while both Ford and Smith were indicted by federal authorities, there are key differences. Morrison said his understanding is that Ford, whom he said
spent about $170,000 of his own money for his campaign in 2006, is accused of fraudulently borrowing money to keep his business afloat. “That’s a run-of-the-mill misrepresentation,” he said. In contrast, “Smith was appointed to office and before he runs, he’s indicted for taking bribes,” he said. “That’s a bold Chicago story.”

Take a vacation from your vacation
POLITICAL CARTOON
LAS degrees offer more applicable career skills, options than others

TA’LES LOVE Opinions columnist
T
hanksgiving marked the beginning of the holiday season, and during this time, many families set out to travel and explore — my family was no different. Over the course of the holiday break, my family traveled to Florida and cruised to the Bahamas. Although this vacation was designed to help us forget about the stresses of everyday life, it created problems of its own. This trip was expensive, and it was quite annoying to have to pay an additional $26 just to drink soda on the ship, to stay confined to eating cheese pizza and then to realize that one of the islands wasn’t a real island at all — but one set up by the cruise line. The ups and downs made the trip memorable, though. Traveling always presents the opportunity for a unique learning experience, an experience that everyone should set out to have if possible. However, travelers should always keep in mind a few tips: When setting out to explore the world, people should plan ahead, pack light, keep an open mind and remember to take a vacation from the actual vacation. Planning a vacation can be stressful, but it’s essential for an enjoyable experience. Planning goes beyond securing hotel accommodations and includes things like budgeting and creating detailed itineraries. My mom always serves as the travel agent for our trips and had each day planned to the minute. She had thoroughly done her research about the activities available, which let us have our own walking guidebook. Everyone should take the initiative to be thoroughly informed; this way, everyone will benefit from the schedule. On the other hand, note that the trip will not always go according to plan, but informed travelers will make any unforeseen bump in the road smooth. The second-most-important tip is packing light. No matter how many times I am forced to reorganize bags at the checkout counter, I always overpack. Putting my bags on the scale is like waiting for a death sentence. But you all can learn from my mistakes. My sister and I stuffed shoes, souvenir cups and Dasani bottles of water throughout our luggage, and we still had to pay for a second bag. In an effort to save water, my mom and sister drank bottles of water from the time we woke up until we reached the security line. Don’t get caught up in packing items that you may “potentially” need because more than likely you won’t. Again, planning is necessary. Check the weather of your travel destination the week of, and a couple weeks prior to, travel, so you know what to pack. Still, remember to anticipate wild weather such as rain or snow, but don’t go overboard. Also, don’t fall into the trap of packing at the last minute. This is the most inefficient way to pack: You will just throw unneeded items into your suitcase. Another important tip when traveling is to keep an open mind, especially when traveling outside of the country or with those from different cultures. One of the most enjoyable aspects of my trip was being surrounded by different people from all over the world. Some of the people I met came from Jamaica, India, Peru and the Bahamas, of course. I used this trip to connect with those people and learn about similarities and differences in culture. When it’s all said and done, you will need a vacation from your vacation. Our trip lasted eight days, and after two or three days of being on the move, I was exhausted. For the majority of my trip, I was up before 8 a.m. and in bed by 1 a.m., which reflects the stressful schedule I was eager to get away from. If traveling for long periods of time, especially on ships that seem to defy gravity, set aside time specifically designed for relaxation. When taking a trip, naturally we want to accomplish as much as we can, but it’s also important to remember why you’re there. During our chill time, my family usually just sat around talking and laughing with one another, an aspect more enjoyable than any other part of the trip. Overall, I am very appreciative of the opportunity. If given the chance, everyone should go and discover the amazing possibilities, stories and memories that await.

KATE CULLEN Opinions columnist
As
Guest Column DI columnist, others too often rely on inaccurate information when discussing IsraeliHamas conflict Recently, many claims have been made about the Israel-Hamas conflict. Unfortunately, much of the discussion has been centered on biased or factually untrue information. We want to attempt to balance the conversation. Although this is a direct response to Sarah Fischer’s recent column, “Gaza conflict deeply rooted in myriad of issues,” it is not a personal attack on the author of the piece. These are the issues we feel needed the most attention. We invite respectful dialogue and hope this piece serves to steady the discussion. Fischer questions why “Israel won’t let Palestine become its own sovereign state.” The truth is that because the Palestinians have begun seeking statehood with the founding of the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964, there have been numerous attempts to resolve the conflict. Israel has repeatedly engaged in negotiations to establish a Palestinian state. With the Oslo Accords in 1993, Israel helped establish the Palestinian Authority as a semi-autonomous government for the Palestinians. According to the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in 2000, Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered a deal to the Palestinian people which satisfied nearly all their requests — a deal which was summarily rejected by their leader, Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. In fact, in 2005, Israel withdrew completely from the Gaza Strip, with no demands in return. This disengagement involved removing the over 8,000 Israeli settlers and all Israeli troops from the territory. In response, Hamas launched a terror campaign against Israel.
In 2008, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a 10-month freeze on the building of settlements in the West Bank to encourage the Palestinians to resume negotiations. This effort was in vain. Clearly, Israel has made many attempts to resolve the issue and help the Palestinian people achieve statehood through diplomatic negotiations. Fischer also writes that “The conflict in Gaza stretches back decades, with the current conflict appearing to originate in 2006.” The conflict in Gaza stretches most directly back to 2005, when Israel unilaterally withdrew from the Gaza Strip, leaving millions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure intact. This included buildings, greenhouses, utilities, and more. In 2006, the Gazans elected Hamas (which has been classed as a terrorist organization and whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel) to power. Since then, Hamas has launched thousands of rockets at Israeli towns, with the intention of killing civilians. She also writes “Israel views Hamas as terrorists and detests the Palestinians,” but it’s not just Israel that views Hamas as terrorists. The US, EU, Japan, Canada, Australia, and more also recognize Hamas as terrorists. In fact, the Hamas charter itself says, “Israel will exist ... until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.” Furthermore, to say that Israel “detests the Palestinians” is simply false. The Israel Defense Forces do everything they can to save Palestinian civilian life, while terrorists intentionally hide among civilians, using them as human shields. The
IDF drops leaflets warning civilians to avoid Hamas terrorists and leaves personal phone messages with the same information. It treats Palestinians in Israeli hospitals, carries in humanitarian aid even as Israeli citizens are being attacked and cancels targeted strikes if there are visible civilians in the area. All of these efforts are made by the Israel Defense Forces, while Hamas fires missiles at Israeli civilians at random. Israel’s blockade on Gaza is not in place to restrict trade, unlike what Fischer wrote. It is in place to prevent the smuggling of weapons — not to prevent the import of aid. On Nov. 18 alone, in the midst of the recent violence, roughly 100 trucks containing medical and humanitarian supplies entered Gaza. Iran supplies Gaza with rockets (such as the Fajr5) that are targeted at Israeli civilians. Israel spends millions of dollars providing food, supplies and electricity to the residents of Gaza, while Hamas spends millions of dollars smuggling in weapons and ensuring the continued suffering of their own people. We are pro-peace. Of course, every country makes mistakes, and Israel is not immune to errors. However, the state has clearly shown a willingness to negotiate anytime and anywhere if it has a true partner for peace. If what we are all striving for is justice for Palestinian and Israeli people, we must start with the truth. ELAAD APPLEBAUM, sophomore in LAS ELANA WEINER-KAPLOW, sophomore in FAA
If what we are all striving for is justice for Palestinian and Israeli people, we must start with the truth.
Letter to the Editor Beckman should be held accountable for losing season One terrible season is enough: Illinois needs to fire head football coach Tim Beckman. Beckman may be a fine man, and he may do fine work in the future coaching somewhere else. And I don’t relish in the idea of a man who just uprooted his family to move to Champaign less than a year ago having to uproot his family again. But the pathetic excuse for a football team that Beckman put on the field this year simply cannot be tolerated by the University. If this great university allows Beckman to keep his job, what it’s saying is that results don’t matter,
that failure is acceptable, that we’d rather deny our mistakes than try to fix them. And there’s no question that hiring Beckman was a mistake. Beckman took over a team that had won back-to-back bowl games and turned it into not just the worst team in the Big Ten, but one of the worst teams the Big Ten conference has ever seen. The 0-8 record doesn’t even tell the whole story. In losses like Saturday’s 50-14 debacle against Northwestern, the Illini looked totally incompetent. That’s on the head coach. Worse, there’s absolutely no reason to believe Beckman is going to turn things around. This team wasn’t 0-8 in the Big Ten because Beckman runs a complex scheme that takes time for players to learn. This team wasn’t 0-8 in the Big
Ten because Beckman put a lot of freshmen on the field to build for the future. This team was 0-8 in the Big Ten because Beckman couldn’t prepare them to face Big Ten competition. As an Illinois alum, I have no illusions that finding a coach who can beat the Ohio States and Michigans regularly is going to be easy. But we simply cannot accept a coach whose team gets blown out by the Indianas, Minnesotas and Northwesterns. Hiring Beckman was a grave mistake. The only question is whether Illinois will fix that mistake now or waste another season pretending it wasn’t a mistake. MICHAEL DAVID SMITH, 1999 LAS graduate, currently living in Chicago

a junior, I have come to the sad realization that I have more college days behind me than I do ahead of me, which is a heartwrenching fact because the inevitable conclusion is that sooner rather than later I will have to join the world of adults in the working world. Though exciting, it is the kind of crazed enthusiasm that makes your palms sweaty and compels your heart to beat at a speed that could be confused with a heart attack. In this economy everyone is nervous about finding a job post-graduation, but it seems many believe a job is less certain for those who receive a degree in LAS. Fortunately, this is not the case at all. More and more often I am being asked the proverbial question “What are you going to do when you graduate?” It is a perfectly valid question, but it is one that is sometimes charged with uncertainty, perhaps because both of my majors are in LAS. Unfortunately, it seems that the overarching public opinion of an LAS degree is that because there is not a definitive career path after graduation, its significance is somehow diminished. Somewhere along the line the idea of having an open-ended career path became a bad thing and having a major with a definitive career, such as engineering, became the way to go. CNN reported the “10 Hot Careers for 2012,” in which most of the jobs listed dealt with technical skills with no mention of careers for students with degrees in liberal arts. The job market clearly places a great amount of emphasis on jobs where a specific degree is required, making it seem that there are no jobs for those with LAS degrees. But an LAS degree arms you with a varied skill set that includes excellent communication, writing and teamwork abilities, all of which allow you numerous options when deciding a career path. Students with these types of degrees have options, choices about what their careers will be. And there is a liberating feeling that goes hand in hand with the immense uncertainty because you are not stuck going down one single career path. The New York Daily News reported whether a liberal arts degree is worth investing in, and New York-based career coach Connie Thanasoulis said that students with an LAS degree can traverse career fields because of their multiple skills and are not restricted to one job or task. This places LAS students at an advantage against students in other majors because they may not be able to navigate through careers quite as easily if they are armed with only one set of skills. Having a major with a specific career that will follow upon graduation does not dictate how successful you will be in the future, just like having a major with an open-ended career path does not automatically render you an unsuccessful future. The Daily News also spoke with a search consultant, Sally Stetson, who said, “The highest salary doesn’t always equate with job satisfaction.” Unfortunately many are missing out on the beauty of knowing what the future will hold, of being uncertain about which career to choose. Having an unpredictable future makes for an exciting life, and I don’t know one college student who would say that they don’t want an exciting life. If a major in LAS interests you, go for it. Study something you are passionate about. Though it’s important to have direction and goals, don’t burden yourself with worrying about what kind of job it will yield you. Chances are, you will change jobs multiple times. Students with a degree in LAS are developing critical thinking and writing abilities that make them an employer’s dream. These are skills that are the fundamentals of every job and by cultivating them in something that you are interested in not only makes you employable, but you will get hired. So, if you find yourself being asked the age-old question “What are you going to do with that degree?” you can say with confidence, “Anything I want.”

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD 1

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
This photo provided by Jennifer Foster, a tourist in New York City, shows New York City police officer Larry DePrimo presenting a barefoot homeless man in Time Square with boots Nov. 14.
Photograph of kind cop becomes viral sensation BY DEEPTI HAJELA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A tourist’s snapshot of a New York City police officer giving new boots to a barefoot homeless man in Times Square has created an online sensation. Jennifer Foster, of Florence, Ariz., was visiting New York with her boyfriend on Nov. 14 when she came across the shoeless man asking for change in Times Square. As she was about to approach him, she said the officer — identified as Larry DePrimo — came up to the man with a pair of allweather boots and thermal socks on the frigid night. She recorded his generosity on her cellphone. DePrimo, speaking to reporters on Thursday, remembered the night clearly — that even with two pairs of socks on, his feet were freezing. The homeless man “didn’t even have a pair of socks on, and I could only imagine how cold that pave-
ment was,” the 25-year-old said, clutching a box containing cufflinks given to him by Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. Foster’s photo was posted Tuesday night to the NYPD’s official Facebook page and became an instant hit. More than 420,000 users liked it as of Thursday evening; more than 140,000 shared it. Thousands of people commented, including one person who praised him as “An officer AND a Gentleman.” The photo shows the officer kneeling beside the man with the boots at his feet. A shoe store is seen in the background. “I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let’s put them on and take care of you,” Foster quoted DePrimo as saying to the man. She wrote: “The officer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put socks and the new boots on this man. The officer expected
NOTHING in return and did not know I was watching.” DePrimo said buying the boots “was something I had to do.” He tried to persuade the man to get something to eat, but he declined and left. “When I brought out the shoes, it was just a smile from ear to ear,” he said. “It was a great moment for both of us.” DePrimo said he only told his family about the incident at the time, and was surprised when a friend told him the photo was posted on the Internet some time later. Foster, who is a dispatch manager at the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, said she’s worked in law enforcement for 17 years and has never been more impressed. “His presentation of human kindness has not been lost on myself or any of the Arizona law enforcement officials with whom this story has been shared,” Foster wrote on Facebook.

BP leaders plead not guilty Three say not at fault for oil rig explosion
BEARDO
DAN DOUGHERTY
BY MICHAEL KUNZELMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GERALD HERBERT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Robert Kaluza, second from right, a BP well site leader from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, arrives with his legal team at federal court to be arraigned on manslaughter charges in New Orleans on Wednesday. “I think about the tragedy of the Deepwater Horizon every day,” Kaluza told reporters. “But I did not cause this tragedy. I am innocent and I put my trust, reputation and future in the hands of the judge and the jury.” Kaluza and Vidrine’s lawyers both accused the Justice Department of using their clients as scapegoats. They noted that other government investigations have spread out the blame for the disaster and concluded it was the product of a complex series of mistakes, made both onshore and on the rig. “Bob and Don did their jobs,”
said Shaun Clarke, one of Kaluza’s attorneys. “They did them correctly and they did them in accordance with their training.” Robert Habans, one of Vidrine’s lawyers, said his client diligently followed instructions he received from engineers and others onshore. “He’s not the architect or the engineer. He didn’t design the well, and he didn’t make the critical decisions in this case,” Habans said. A trial for Kaluza and Vidrine is scheduled to start on Feb. 4, while Rainey has a Jan. 28 trial date.
Illinois Senate might allow illegal immigrants to have driver’s licenses BY JOHN O’CONNOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illinois Senate will consider allowing illegal immigrants to get driver’s licenses to make roads safer with trained and insured motorists after a key committee approved the plan Thursday. The plan from Senate President John Cullerton moved to the Senate floor following its 12-2 approval by the Executive Committee. It will likely face a vote next week during the last three days of the General Assembly’s fall session. If approved, Illinois would join New Mexico and Washington as the only states offering driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, said he’s trying to deal with the practical aspects of
illegal immigrants driving to work, school or the grocery store while solutions to the immigration problem continue to elude federal officials. And a county sheriff testified that the proposal would allow law enforcement agencies with dwindling resources to spend more time responding to violent crime. “We care about our highways in the state,” Cullerton said. “It seems to me we’re better off having folks tested, make sure they know how to drive.” Advocates of the licensing plan say there are as many as 250,000 illegal immigrants in Illinois who, without Social Security numbers, are unable to get licenses or insurance. Uninsured immigrant drivers cause $64 million in damage claims each year, a tab covered by ratepayers’ increased premiums.
The proposal would make illegal immigrants eligible for temporary driver’s licenses — which lawmakers created in 2005 — that already go to foreign-born visitors such as students and spouses of temporary workers legally in the U.S. Because the licenses already exist, they would not identify the new recipients as illegal immigrants, which immigrant advocates said should discourage fears that illegal immigrants would be targeted by police. The plan has support from Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn as well as high-profile Republicans. Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont said the legislation is an acceptable state response to a broader national dilemma the federal government has been unable to solve.

NEW ORLEANS — Two BP rig supervisors and a former BP executive pleaded not guilty Wednesday to criminal charges stemming from the deadly Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and the company’s response to the massive 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP well site leaders Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine, along with former BP vice president of exploration for the Gulf David Rainey, remained free on bond following their arraignments in federal court. Kaluza and Vidrine are charged with manslaughter in the deaths of 11 rig workers. They are accused of disregarding abnormally high pressure readings that should have been glaring indications of trouble just before the blowout of BP’s Macondo well. Rainey was charged separately with concealing information from Congress about the amount of oil that was leaking from the well. Millions of gallons of crude oil spewed from BP’s well for months. Kaluza professed his innocence on his way into court, making his first public comments since the April 2010 explosion that killed his co-workers.

NASA probe discovers ice on Mercury’s northern pole Scientists say ice can likely be found on south pole too BY MARCIA DUNN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PATRICK SEMANSKY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, second from right, steps out of a security vehicle as he is escorted into a courthouse in Fort Meade, Md., Thursday, for a pretrial hearing. Manning is charged with aiding the enemy by causing hundreds of thousands of classified documents to be published on the secret-sharing website WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks private speaks out Manning claims unjust holding; judge accepts his 8 guilty pleas BY DAVID DISHNEAU THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT MEADE, Md. — An Army private charged in the biggest security breach in U.S. history testified Thursday that he felt like a doomed, caged animal after he was arrested in Baghdad for allegedly sending classified information to the secretspilling website WikiLeaks. Speaking publicly for the first time about his May 2010 arrest and subsequent confinement, Pfc. Bradley Manning addressed the nearly two months he spent in a cell in a segregation tent at Camp Arifjan, an Army installation in Kuwait, before he was moved stateside. “I remember thinking I’m going to die. I’m stuck inside this cage,” Manning said in response to questions from defense attorney David Coombs. “I just thought I was going to die in that cage. And that’s how I saw it — an animal cage.” Manning was later sent to a Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va., in July 2010. His lawyers are seeking dismissal of all charges, contending his pretrial confinement at Quantico
was needlessly harsh. Manning’s testimony came on the third day of a pretrial hearing at Fort Meade, the sprawling Army post between Washington and Baltimore. The compact, 24-year-old intelligence analyst looked youthful in his dark-blue dress uniform, closecropped hair and rimless eyeglasses. He was animated, often swiveling in the witness chair and gesturing with his hands. Speaking in emphatic bursts, sometimes stumbling over his words, Manning said that at Quantico, where he was held for nine months in highly restrictive maximum custody, “I started to feel like I was mentally going back to Kuwait mode, in that lonely, dark, black hole place, mentally.” Manning said he never sank that low but grew frustrated after five months in which he spent up to 23 hours a day in a windowless, 6-by8-foot cell. “It was pretty draining. Tiring,” Manning said. He described it as “boredom. Com-
plete, out-of-my-mind boredom.” At one point during more than five hours of testimony, Manning donned a dark-green, suicide-prevention smock resembling an oversized tank top made of stiff, thick fabric. He said it was similar to one he was issued in March 2011, several days after Quantico jailers started requiring him to surrender all his clothing and eyeglasses each night as a suicide-prevention measure. This occurred after he told them — out of frustration at his restrictions, he said — that if he really wanted to hurt himself, he could use his underwear waistband. During that period, before receiving the smock, Manning said he was once forced to stand naked at attention for morning count. “I had no socks, no underwear, I had no articles of clothing, I had no glasses,” he said. Manning is trying to avoid trial in the WikiLeaks case. He argues he was punished enough when he was locked up alone in a small cell for nearly nine months at Quantico, where he also had to sleep naked for several nights. The military contends the treatment was proper, given Manning’s classification then as a maximumsecurity detainee who posed a risk of injury to himself or others.
Earlier Thursday, a military judge accepted the terms under which Manning was willing to plead guilty to eight charges for sending classified documents to the WikiLeaks website. Col. Denise Lind’s ruling doesn’t mean the pleas have been formally accepted. That could happen in December. But Lind approved the language of the offenses to which Manning has said he would admit. She said those offenses carry a total maximum prison term of 16 years. Manning made the offer as a way of accepting responsibility for the leak. Government officials have not said whether they would continue prosecuting him for the other 14 counts he faces, including aiding the enemy. That offense carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. Under the proposal, Manning would admit to willfully sending the following material: a battlefield video file, some classified memos, more than 20 Iraq war logs, more than 20 Afghanistan war logs and other classified materials. He would also plead guilty to wrongfully storing classified information.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Just in time for Christmas, scientists have confirmed a vast amount of ice at the north pole — on Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. The findings are from NASA’s Mercury-orbiting probe, Messenger, and the subject of three scientific papers released Thursday by the journal Science. The frozen water is located in regions of Mercury’s north pole that always are in shadows, essentially impact craters. It’s believed the south pole harbors ice as well, though there are no hard data to support it. “If you add it all up, you have on the order of 100 billion to 1 trillion metric tons of ice,” said David Lawrence of the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University. “The uncertainty on that number is just how deep it goes.” The ice is thought to be at least 1 ½ feet deep — and possibly as much as 65 feet deep. There’s enough polar ice at Mercury, in fact, to bury an area the size of Washington, D.C., by two to 2 ½ miles deep, said Lawrence, the lead author of one of the papers. “These are very exciting results,” he added at a news conference. For two decades, radar measurements taken from Earth have suggested the presence of ice at Mercury’s poles. Now scientists know for sure, thanks to Messenger, the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury. The water almost certainly came from impacting comets, or possibly asteroids. Ice is found at the surface, as well as buried beneath a dark material, likely organic. Messenger was launched in 2004 and went into orbit around the planet 1 ½ years ago. NASA hopes to continue observations well into next year. Columbia University’s Sean Solomon, principal scientist for Messenger, stressed that no one is suggesting that Mercury might hold evidence of life, given the presence of water. But the latest findings may help explain some of the early chapters of the book of life elsewhere in the solar system, he said. “Mercury is becoming an object of astrobiological interest, where it wasn’t much of one before,” Solomon said.

When wisdom teeth come in, the result is often painful due to overcrowding and can cause damage to other teeth. This time of year, it is not unusual for students to have trouble with their wisdom teeth. Stress and lack of proper rest and diet seem to act as a catalyst for wisdom tooth flare-up. At Affiliates in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the removal of wisdom teeth is done as an outpatient surgery and is often covered by student insurance.

Illinois' Karisma Penn takes a contested shot during the Fighting Illini's win over Wake Forest at Assembly Hall on Thursday.
Illinois beats Wake Forest behind Penn, Crawford scoring 56 points BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
Karisma Penn has stepped up to the foul line 548 times in her four years at Illinois. Of those 548 shots, Penn has only converted 334 , about 60 percent. But, after working to improve during her college career, she was able to convert 14 attempts on Thursday at Assembly Hall into 12 points. “I was delighted,” Penn said. “If I could’ve just danced at the end of the game I would’ve broke it down.” Illinois took advantage of Penn’s 30-point, 10-rebound performance and defeated Wake Forest 95-82 in the ACC/ Big Ten Women’s Challenge.

Wake Forest took the lead with just under nine minutes remaining in the game after Illinois led for the past 27 minutes. “I thought we showed some resiliency, which is a word we’ve talked a lot about with these young ladies,” head coach Matt Bollant said. “When they made a run and took the lead, to be able to close the game on that

The Illinois hockey team isn’t panicking in the midst of a slump in Saturday games that has plagued the team the past two months. In the past six weekends, the Illini have dropped six games, losing five of them on Saturday.

common vernacular, a teabag refers to the item you insert in hot water to make tea, commonly used during winter or to soothe a cold. That’s not the way it was used Wednesday night. Georgia Tech’s Marcus Georges-Hunt (shoutout to another hyphenated brotha) experienced the full effects of that, receiving a face full of embarrassment from Illinois’ Joseph Bertrand during the final five minutes of the Illini’s 75-62 win over the Yellow Jackets. By now, you’ve probably seen the play, but let’s break it down to fully appreciate just how absurd it really was. 4:57 — Illinois is up 62-58, on defense, in a 2-3 zone. Bertrand is playing the back-left position of the zone, when Brandon Paul, manning the position directly in front of Bertrand, taps the ball away from Georges-Hunt near the Georgia Tech bench. The ball skitters toward the middle of the floor, while Bertrand, somehow anticipating the play, is already on the move, nearing full speed before any other
player has changed direction. 4:55 — Bertrand reaches the ball just before a diving D.J. Richardson, first tapping, then controlling it as his long strides devour the court and allow him to easily skirt Tech’s Mfon Udofia, angling toward the right side of the court. 4:54 — Ball controlled, Bertrand takes the swiftest of glances at his surroundings as he passes midcourt and runs over the ACC-Big Ten Challenge logo. Udofia is to his immediate left, Yellow Jackets center Daniel Miller (my brotha from another motha) is speeding (if you can call Miller’s lumbering strides that) down the middle of the court slightly behind Udofia. And there, awaiting his doom like Wile E. Coyote standing naively under the Acme Inc. hammer, stands Georges-Hunt, 3 feet in front of Bertrand and with a perfect angle between the charging Illini and the basket. 4:53 — Bertrand, unlike most humans, decides one-on-three odds are reasonable numbers for a fast break. He takes three more monstrous strides, angling toward the hoop from the right side of the lane. Georges-Hunt reaches the site of his demise merely moments before Bertrand, turning his
“Saturday was just a microcosm of all the other Saturdays we’ve had all season.”
CHICAGO — The idea that NFL players might use Viagra to gain an edge on the fi eld left Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs practically in tears — from laughing. He wasn’t the only one. Players cracked jokes about it Thursday, a day after Bears star receiver Brandon Marshall said he had heard that some players were using Viagra and hoping it would give them an advantage during games. Punch lines aside, experts say it’s unlikely the erectile-dysfunction drug would help. “What would that do? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” Minnesota Vikings long snapper Cullen Loeffler said. Bears defensive back D.J. Moore wondered if Marshall was kidding and said: “I’ve never heard of that.” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Viagra is not a banned substance and declined further comment. Marshall started it all Wednesday when asked about a growing number of suspensions tied to amphetamines, including the ADHD drug Adderall. He said he didn’t know much about Adderall, but suggested Viagra could be viewed by players as a way to boost their energy. “I know guys, it’s such a competitive league, and guys try anything just to get that edge,” he said. “I’ve heard of guys using Viagra, seriously, because the blood, it’s supposed to thin. I don’t know. Some crazy stuff. It’s kind of scary with some of these chemicals that are in some of
these things, so you have to be careful.” But using Viagra for more touchdowns and tackles? “I didn’t even know people could do that,” New York Giants tight end Martellus Bennett said. And his teammate Justin Tuck added: “I can’t imagine why people would take steroids, so I have no comment on Viagra. Besides, my wife would be very upset with me.” Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Vonnie Holliday, a 15-year NFL veteran, said some of his teammates were talking about Marshall’s Viagra remarks but he had never heard of such a thing himself. “I don’t understand what good it would do,” he said. Dr. Olivier Rabin, science director at the World AntiDoping Agency in Montreal, said it is unlikely Viagra does anything to improve football performance in NFL players. He also said there is no evidence the drug might somehow mask the use of steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. Rabin noted that research in high altitudes found the drug helped improve oxygen flow in climbers with impaired lung function. That’s because Viagra can dilate blood vessels, and vessels in the lung constrict in high altitudes. Research involving cyclists at high altitudes found similar benefits, but Rabin said studies have shown the drug has no effect on athletic performance at sea level.

Thomas defeats 2 top-20 foes, earns Big Ten honors
BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B run, with that kind of energy was great.� After scoring only 50 points against Iowa State on Sunday, Illinois responded by scoring the most points against a BCS opponent since 2001. While Illinois had success offensively, Bollant wasn’t happy with the team’s defense in either its man-to-man or “buzz� defense. Illinois beat Wake Forest in the 2009 ACC/Big Ten Challenge — the only other meeting between the two programs. Penn had 15 points and five rebounds in that win. Despite Illinois’ efforts, the Big Ten remained winless in the challenge with the conference posting a 5-7 record this year. Illinois’s win was its second straight game in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge after defeating Clemson last season.

Illinois wrestler Daryl Thomas was awarded Big Ten Wrestler of the Week on Tuesday after defeating two top20 opponents this past weekend at the Journeymen Duals. The 133-pound senior helped the Illini defeat Princeton with his 22-7 tech fall in his fi rst match against No. 14 Garrett Gray. “I pretty much got on him right away from the beginning of the match,� Thomas said. “That’s just kind of my style of wrestling, I like to come out and be ready to go right away and push the pace the whole match.� After defeating Gray, Thomas led Illinois against No. 16 Maryland as he took down No. 15 Geoffrey Alexander 7-3.

“There are things I could have done better, a couple of positions I could have extended my lead a little bit more,� he said. “Overall, there is still a little bit of work to do but I’m happy.� Thomas posted a 15-15 record last season as the starter at 141 pounds and fi nished sixth at the Big Ten Championships. Head coach Jim Heffernan said he was pleased with Thomas’ performance over the weekend. “I think he’s made a ton of progress, and he’s really growing up,� Heffernan said. “He’s put himself in the position where he is able to compete with those guys, and he has given himself the opportunity to become an All-American.� With the Big Ten featuring six of the top-10 squads in the
nation, the No. 6-ranked Illini need to be at their best in every competition. Thomas’ success will be key in a possible national championship run this season. “He’s going to keep getting better even this year, and I still think we haven’t seen his best stuff yet,� Heffernan said. While the Illini are not competing this weekend, Thomas will cherish his Big Ten honor by getting back on the mat during practice. “It’s a great honor. I’m glad to be acknowledged and recognized,� Thomas said. “But there’s still work to do in order to try and accomplish the bigger goal of winning a national title.�

studied Viagra in simulated high-altitude environments and “didn’t fi nd much benefi t in young, healthy, active individuals.� “No one has really tested it in football players doing exercise. Whatever benefi t they think they’re getting is probably more psychological than anything,� said Jacobs, an associate professor in the kinesiology and sport sciences department. Marshall said he doesn’t take medication “of any sort� and noted that the NFL’s drug policy is strict. “Any time you take anything over the counter, if you don’t approve it with your training room, you can get popped,� he said. “Some of it’s fair, but some of it kind of puts you in a tough spot as a professional athlete. Because the only thing you’ll see is getting busted for PEDs, but it could be something over the counter for a little sickness. You just have to be on top of your p’s and q’s.�
body into position to receive the full brunt of humiliation. Bertrand, again defying most human logic and with total disregard for Georges-Hunt, plants his left foot and takes off toward the basket from outside the lane and parallel to the third hash mark. If you’ve never been on a basketball court and have no idea how far that is, know this: Most players take off from that same spot and shoot jump shots or runners. 4:52 — Bertrand explodes toward the rim, taking the ball up with his right hand, then swinging it from right to left over his head with both hands. Somehow sensing Miller (or more likely, hearing his lumbering ogre strides) flying at him from over his left shoulder, Bertrand swings the ball back under his chin to his right hand (if you’re keeping track at home, that’s a full 360 degrees of swing). It is at this moment that the collision happens and Georges-Hunt’s fate as the butt of ridicule is cemented, as his face is unkindly introduced to Bertrand’s junk. 4:51 — Having avoided Miller’s futile attempts and thoroughly succeeding in ruining Georges-Hunt’s confidence, Bertrand, remembering he still has a job to do and not much time to do it, spins the ball up toward the backboard nanoseconds before his feet reach the ground. The ball kisses the glass, stopping only to say a brief hello before continuing on with its coy flirtation with the rim. Physics be damned, the ball bounces once, twice, three times on the rim before dropping through the net as the referee’s whistle blows to signal a foul — the final denigration of Georges-Hunt. 4:50 — Bertrand turns back to the court — his awestruck teammates triumphant, his foe vanquished. In its entirety, that play took only seven seconds from start to finish. Replays and descriptions can’t quite capture the shock, the insanity, the “what the hell did he just do?� feeling that reverberated around Assembly Hall in the moments after the play. It came on the heels of two straight threes and another layup by Bertrand, punctuating a remarkable one-man 10-0 run that flipped a late four-point deficit into a six-point lead. But it was the junior’s “loop-dee-loop� layup, as described by Paul, that was a microcosm of what Bertrand brings this Illinois team. On a roster made up of mostly jump shooters, Bertrand is somewhat of an anomaly. Yes, his long-range shooting is vastly improved, as evidenced by his 3-for-4 performance from behind the arc last night. But Bertrand’s game, and his value to the Illini, is still grounded in his ability to slash and attack the rim. His stop and gos, herkyjerky moves, floaters, runners and explosive athleticism — these are what make Bertrand so hard to guard and such an invaluable weapon off the bench as Illinois’ sixth man. Georgia Tech, a team that is improving but projected to finish in the bottom half of the Atlantic Coast Conference, exposed many of Illinois’ flaws: the lack of a post presence on offense and defense and a slight lack of depth overall. The Illini survived in large part because they connected on 14 threes, just two away from the school record. That won’t happen every game, not in the Big Ten and not on the road. And that is when Illinois will need Bertrand, a player who can create his own shot and score as well as any player on the roster, whom Georgia Tech head coach Brian Gregory described as “just streaky enough to be dangerous,� to bring that steady scoring hand every single game.
