Champaign to hold software design contest

It’s Mr. Steal Yo Girl

BY CORINNE RUFF STAFF WRITER

EMILY OGDEN THE DAILY ILLINI

Trey Songz performs at Assembly Hall on Monday, one stop on his 25-date Chapter V tour around the United States.

In an effort to solve community problems and increase interaction between city government and residents, Champaign is seeking useful applications of the city’s database. Champaign is one of four cities to pilot the Illinois Open Technology Challenge, a competition to create software applications with the ability to address civic issues. The three-month initiative aims to increase visibility of the Illinois database at data.illinois.gov. Champaign residents and city staff met at the Champaign Public Library on Thursday to brainstorm ideas for potential uses of this data. Some application suggestions brought up at the meeting included a program that would contain city council agendas, meeting minutes and video, and a community service program similar to Adopt-A-Highway. Mayor Don Gerard said he thinks the competition will help create a more interactive relationship between city government and citizens. “I think the more connected people are to local government, the more useful they find it,” he said. “They see the tax dollars

at work. It’s great for us to be in touch to let them know how we benefit them.” The Illinois Science & Technology Coalition and Smart Chicago Collaborative are working with Champaign, Belleville, Rockford and Chicago’s south suburbs to provide the municipalities with the technology to publish the data. Gerard said everyone is encouraged to submit ideas. The challenge will end Feb. 28, and each city will choose the best application, awarding the inventor $18,750 from the state. Currently, there are no criteria to determine a winner, but Daniel O’Neil, executive director of Smart Chicago Collaborative, said official rules will be solidified by Feb. 1. He added that although there will be one challenge winner, cities may decide to implement other applications that were submitted. O’Neil said that as long as the application uses data from the site and relates to a Champaign city problem, inventors have a lot of freedom to be creative. “My goal is that we find all sorts of innovations and have people that want to make their

SEC discusses Ill. pension reform Concerns over unsolicited emails, visits from RSOs also discussed at meeting BY CHRISSY PAWLOWSKI STAFF WRITER

After state representatives introduced a pension reform bill Wednesday, the Senate Executive Committee at its Monday meeting discussed what action faculty members should take. The bill, House Bill 6258, could raise employee contributions by 2 percent, increase the retirement age for younger employees and limit cost-of-living adjustments. John Kindt, chair of faculty and academic staff benefits, attended the Institute of Government and Public Affairs’ Illinois Public Policy section of the 2012 conference Nov. 27-28, which included discussion about the pension reforms. The session on public pensions intended to educate and raise awareness of the reforms

proposed by Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, and Rep. Daniel Biss, D-Evanston, on Wednesday. Kindt said he found the event educational. “We had several colleagues there, and I think it was an excellent event for information,” Kindt said. “I think former Sen. (Richard) Winkel (director of IGPA’s Office of Public Leaders) did an excellent job; I’m sure my colleagues would share that opinion.” Kindt reminded SEC committee members that the new bill will be discussed when the Illinois General Assembly meets Jan. 3-8. Because reform is still up for discussion, Kindt recommended that faculty voice concerns now. “If people want to indicate their general concerns about any particular issue, now is the time,” Kindt said. “The ripple effect of anything that you say to a decision maker really does have an impact.” The senate also discussed the issue of faculty members’ unwanted emails and office visits at Monday’s meeting.

Homelessness still a problem in C-U Local activist Chynoweth advocates for the homeless and offers ways to help BY ILYA GUREVIC STAFF WRITER

Local community activist Danielle Chynoweth spoke about the issue of homelessness at the Women’s Resource Center on Monday afternoon. Chynoweth, a former Urbana alderman, has been an advocate for the homeless for years. She said she has taken in more than a dozen individuals to her home since 1995. According to the 2011 Community Report from the United Way of Champaign County, there are 418 homeless individuals in Champaign County at any given time. During her speech, Chynoweth said there are problems with fi lling in the gaps that local agencies cannot. “We as a society rely on a patchwork (of social service agencies),” Chynoweth said. “You can get food over here ... housing over there ... it kind of looks like a fish net, and there’s a lot of holes in it.” Chynoweth also addressed the importance of getting to the structural, institutional factors related to homelessness.

U.S. Rep. Timothy V. Johnson, R-15, announced his retirement plans in front of the Champaign County Active Senior Republicans on Monday.

Johnson announces retirement plans to teach, work in law BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER

Rep. Tim Johnson, R-15, spoke to the Champaign County Active Senior Republicans on Monday to announce his post-retirement plans. After winning the primary for Republican representative of the 13th District last year, Johnson dropped his re-election bid, citing the desire to “fulfill my obligation to my family,” he said in a press conference April 5. He will formally retire on Jan. 3 when his Republican successor, Rodney Davis, is sworn in. His retirement will conclude a 44-year-long career in public office, dating back to his time as an Urbana alderman, according to a press release on the event. During his speech to the Senior Republicans, he expressed gratitude for support he received during his time serving the district. “I leave with mixed emotions. ... I’m just very grateful for the special support from you all,” Johnson said to the crowd. When asked if he would ever seek another public office, such as city council, Johnson said he wouldn’t. While Johnson is retiring, he said he isn’t going to leave his career behind. He said he would continue to be politically active

and support candidates. Johnson will use his experience from his political career in his new role as political science professor at Illinois State University. He will be teaching a class on the war powers of Congress. Johnson said he expects to remain in this position for a few years. “Being able to teach at ISU is really a labor of love,” he said in a press release. “The lessons of history are a passion for me and one I hope to share with young people for as long as I can contribute.” Johnson also told attendees of the conference that he was made an associate at the Law Offices of Frederick W. Nessler and Associates, a firm with offices throughout Illinois. “More than anything else we’ve done, we’ve tried to help people,” he said referring to his political career. “What they (the firm) do is what I do.” Standing next to Johnson throughout the course of the interview was attorney Frederick Nessler, who spoke highly of the firm’s recent addition. “We are very honored to have someone of Johnson’s caliber,” Nessler said.

Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case settled BY JENNIFER PELTZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn and a hotel maid settled her lawsuit Monday over sexual assault allegations that sank his political career and spurred scrutiny of his dealings with women on two continents. The housekeeper, Nafi ssatou Diallo, looked composed and resolute as state Supreme Court Justice Douglas McKeon announced the confidential deal. Strauss-Kahn stayed in Paris and was mum when asked about the settlement, which came after prosecutors abandoned a related criminal case because they said Diallo had credibility problems. “I thank everyone who supported me all over the world,” Diallo, who has rarely spoken publicly since the May 2011 encounter between her and Strauss-Kahn, said softly after court. “I thank God, and God bless you all,” she added. In a statement, Strauss-Kahn attorneys William Taylor III and Amit Mehta said the former diplomat was “pleased to have arrived at a resolution of this matter.” They credited the judge with “patience and forbearance” that fostered the agreement. The lawsuit stemmed from an encounter in Strauss-Kahn’s luxury Manhattan hotel suite. Diallo, a 33-year-old housekeeper from Guinea, told police Strauss-Kahn forced her to perform oral sex, tried to rape her and tore a ligament in her shoulder after she arrived to clean his suite. The 63-year-old StraussKahn, who has since separated from his wife, has said what happened was “a moral failing” but was consensual. The allegations led to his arrest, forced him to resign his IMF post and cut off the Socialist’s potential candidacy for the French presidency. The criminal case was dropped after prosecutors said they couldn’t trust Diallo. Among their concerns: She was inconsistent about her actions right after leaving his suite, and she told a compelling but false story of having been raped previously. She said she always told the truth about Strauss-Kahn and would press her claims in the

OPEN TECH FROM PAGE 1A community better,” he said. “In Champaign, there already is a lot of innovation, and we want to be in the context of all of that instead of a one-time prize.” Patrick East, Champaign city webmaster, is the leader of the city side of the project collecting the data, such as city ordinances and building permits for the applications. East said community input is important to the success of the application. “Without input of citizens, we don’t know what problems or applications people would use,” he said. “We want to find out what data people would be interested in having so we can prioritize our research.” The city will hold another meeting in mid-January and take more ideas from the community.

HOMELESS FROM PAGE 1A

SETH WENIG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nafissatou Diallo, a hotel housekeeper who alleged that she was sexual assaulted by former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn, appears in court in New York on Monday. Diallo and Strauss-Khan reached a settlement Monday. lawsuit. Strauss-Kahn called her suit defamatory and countersued for $1 million. The judge said he met Diallo earlier this year and talked with her about the prospect of settlement talks. The negotiations continued, with a lengthy discussion involving the judge late last month, and a fi nal deal was inked just Monday, McKeon said. “I want to say what a privilege it has been to work with all of you and to work on this case,” he told Diallo and the attorneys for both sides. The judge said Diallo also settled a separate libel lawsuit against the New York Post over a series of articles that claimed she was a prostitute; the details of that settlement also weren’t

disclosed. A spokeswoman for the News Corp.-owned newspaper didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Diallo attorney Kenneth Thompson called her “a strong and courageous woman who never lost faith in our system of justice. With this resolution, she can move on with her life.” Diallo is a widowed mother of a teenage daughter. She has been on worker’s compensation since her encounter with Strauss-Kahn, according to the hotel chain. After Diallo came forward, other sexual allegations emerged against Strauss-Kahn, who had been known as a womanizer but largely viewed as debonair. French judges are to decide by Dec. 19 whether to annul

charges linking him to a suspected prostitution ring run out of a luxury hotel in Lille. He acknowledges attending “libertine” gatherings but says he didn’t know about any women getting paid to participate. Another inquiry, centered on allegations of rape in a hotel in Washington, D.C., was dropped after French prosecutors said the accuser, an escort, changed her account to say she wasn’t forced to have sex. And French prosecutors also have looked into writer Tristane Banon’s allegations that Strauss-Kahn tried to rape her during an interview in 2003, a claim she made public after his New York arrest and he called imaginary and slanderous. Prosecutors said they

believed the encounter qualified as a sexual assault, but the legal timeframe to pursue her complaint had elapsed. The Associated Press does not name people who report being sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly, as Diallo and Banon have done. Several hours before the court date in New York, StraussKahn was seen in Paris leaving his new residence in the Left Bank neighborhood of Montparnasse. Dressed in jeans, a white shirt and open black jacket and clutching a stack of dossiers, he ducked into a black Audi waiting for him. Asked by AP Television News whether he was relieved the New York end of his legal problems would soon be over, he refused to respond.

“We tend to identify consequences as the problem,” she said. “I encourage you to think, ‘Is this a premise, or is this a consequence of another premise?’ The game to play is the 2-year-old or 3-year-old game, the ‘Why?’ game.” Student attendees like Sydney Beck , freshman in LAS, found the presentation to be informative. Beck said she was surprised to learn about the current prevalence of homelessness. “I had no idea that it was such an issue still today, and you know, (it’s the) 21st century,” she said. “I know people are in debt or their credit scores are bad. It’s really sad that it’s such a trend still now.” Seema Dave, junior in LAS, valued the distinctive angle Chynoweth attacks the problem from. “I thought she (Chynoweth) had a lot of unique ideas,” Dave said. “I was shocked to fi nd out ... that people are employed, and they’re homeless.” The event was co-sponsored by the Women’s Resource Center and the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations and is part of the Lunchtime Discussion Series. Other cultural houses on campus also hold events weekly as part of the series, which resumes next semester.

Recreational use marijuana officially legal in Colorado BY KRISTEN WYATT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER — Marijuana for recreational use became legal in Colorado Monday, when the governor took the procedural step of declaring the voter-approved change part of the state constitution. Colorado became the second state after Washington to allow pot use without a doctor’s recommendation. Both states prohibit public use of the drug, and commercial sales in Colorado and Washington won’t be permitted until after regulations are written next year. Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, opposed the measure but had no veto power over the voterapproved amendment to the state constitution. He tweeted his declaration Monday and sent an executive order to reporters by email after the fact. That prevented a countdown to legalization as seen in Washington, where the law’s supporters gathered to smoke in public to celebrate. The law gave Hickenlooper until Jan. 5 to declare marijuana legal. He told reporters Monday he saw no reason to wait and didn’t see any point in letting marijuana become legal without his proclamation. “If the voters go out and pass something and they put it in the state constitution, by a significant margin, far be it from myself or any governor to overrule. I mean, this is why it’s a democracy, right?” Hickenlooper said. Adults over 21 in Colorado may now possess up to an ounce of marijuana, or six plants. Public

use and sale of the drug remain illegal. Colorado and Washington officials both have asked the U.S. Department of Justice for guidance on the laws that conflict with federal drug law. So far the federal government has offered little guidance beyond stating that marijuana remains illegal and that the controlled Substances Act will be enforced. Of special concern for state regulators is how to protect state employees who violate federal drug law by complying with state marijuana laws. Hickenlooper also announced a state task force Monday to help craft the marijuana regulations. The 24-member task force includes law enforcement, agriculture officials and marijuana advocates. The governor admonished the task force not to ponder whether marijuana should be legal. “I don’t think we benefit anyone by going back and turning over the same soil. Our job is to move forward,” he said. Hickenlooper told the task force to “work to reconcile Colorado and federal laws such that the new laws and regulations do not subject Colorado state and local governments and state and local government employees to prosecution by the federal government.” Colorado’s marijuana measure, Amendment 64, was approved with 55 percent of the vote last month. One of the authors of Colorado’s pot amendment, Mason Tvert, called the declaration “truly historic.”

Economic recession possible for Illinois with unresolved fiscal cliff BY JOHN O’CONNOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Government experts who run the numbers estimate Illinois could lose $1 billion in federal revenue if President Barack Obama and Congress cannot reach a budget agreement and allow the economy to plunge off the so-called “fiscal cliff.” But more unpredictable — and perhaps more worrisome — is what impact another recession, spurred by the possible federal free fall, would have on Illinois. The state could lose an additional $1 billion because of sagging tax revenue beginning next month and running through at least mid-2014. States are anxiously monitoring the faceoff between Demo-

crat Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, who are trying to reach a budget deal to avoid automatic tax increases and nearly acrossthe-board spending cuts that would take effect Jan. 1, a deadline set last year when the two sides reached a federal debt-ceiling pact. “We watch that every day from Washington,” Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn said last week. Many states are worried about how to plan budgets for the coming year, based on the uncertainty. But Quinn’s office won’t discuss the potential fallout. The state had enough problems to begin with. Officials predict several state agencies’ programs and services won’t make it through the budget year with-

out additional money. There’s also the seemingly never-ending $9 billion backlog of bills owed to vendors and a worst-in-thenation pension program deficit, a fix for which Quinn calls his top priority. Nonetheless, the Democratic governor has “full confidence” in Obama to broker a deal. The national consequences are clear: Federal income taxes would increase by ending cuts implemented during President George W. Bush’s administration. There would be broad-based cuts to most federal agencies, including defense spending. But money for the federal payroll and major programs such as Social Security and Medicaid would be spared. Should the cuts go into effect, Illinois would lose $305 million

in federal grants for education, public housing and nutrition programs for low-income women and children next year, according to Michael Bird, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbyist for the National Conference of State Legislatures. Bird said the state would lose $740 million in defense money, although specifics aren’t known. A spokeswoman said officials at Scott Air Force Base in southwestern Illinois had not received any instructions about potential reductions. More hazardous could be the economic recession that’s almost certain to follow a fiscal cliff dive; experts believe increased taxes and federal spending cuts could choke off business activity. State Revenue Department

officials had already predicted that receipts from the state’s three largest sources — individual income taxes, corporate income and sales taxes — would drop slightly this year, and post only a 2.4 percent gain in the budget year that begins July 1, 2013. If the federal budget crisis is unsolved, those receipts would decline by just over $1 billion between Jan. 1 and mid-2014, officials say. The reduction in receipts would be offset by a $45 million increase in fiscal 2014 with the expiration of Bush-era tax relief — there would be fewer federal tax deductions, meaning a higher income on which state taxes are based. For example, the state could possibly see $20 million more

because businesses would be allowed less federal depreciation on equipment purchases. A Pew Center on the States report in November found Illinois more vulnerable to the fiscal cliff’s impact than others because about 8.5 percent of its revenue comes from federal sources, above the national average of 6.6 percent. But Ingrid Schroeder, a Pew Center director, noted that recession could be far worse than cuts to federal programs. “States have already had to make really tough budget decisions over the last couple of years,” Schroeder said. “This uncertainty about exactly what their revenue is going to be makes an already difficult process that much more difficult.”

US military doesn’t need a Death Star

LANGSTON ALLSTON THE DAILY ILLINI

Future negotiations need to center around GEO, student rights

fter a 95 percent approval from the Graduate Employees’ Organization, the University and GEO reached an agreement last Friday to end threats of a strike that could have suspended course calendars and thrown a wrench into final exam schedules. Thankfully, an agreement could be reached that was good for all parties involved, including undergraduate students. Many of the terms seem to be common sense. In fact, it’s surprising that certain provisions, like giving employees the ability to file complaints of harassment by supervisors or granting accommodations for nursing mothers, were not already a part of the expired agreement between the GEO and the University. Other gains appear simple and hardly groundbreaking, like the continuance of the tuition waiver, paying FAA teaching assistants their rightfully earned money taken away in 2010, or increasing coverage on health care fees from 75 to 80 percent. During the first five years of the new contract, the employees’ minimum wage will increase by 2.5 percent during the first two years, and by 1.5 percent for the last three years. Given the tensions of professors and teaching assistants who were not supposed to use class time to discuss the possibility that classes could be cancelled — but did so anyhow — it’s most surprising at first that the contract will expire in five years. When it terminates, we’ll be right back where we started. But the expiration of a contract allows for the issues to be revisited, revalued, revised. Things change over time and need to be reconsidered. It creates an opportunity for these seemingly minute or common sense gaps in contracts to be fixed. Collective bargaining allows the voice of the employee to be heard, and especially in the University environment where that employee’s dissatisfaction affects the molding of minds, that voice is significant. In February 2011, Wisconsin made headlines when 14 Democratic senators fled to Illinois in an attempt to block the passage of a controversial law that restricted collective bargaining rights. Though its implementation could have saved the state considerable amounts of money at a time when it was facing over $3 billion in debt, the legislation was declared unconstitutional in September 2012 because it limited employees’ rights to free speech and association. Despite ever-rising tuition costs and a state in financial distress, the University will need to follow suit and continue to honor the GEO’s first amendment rights. The University will undoubtedly need to carefully and collaboratively renew its contract in five years to preserve an environment that attracts quality graduate students — but we hope that next time it can be done smoother. A student paying over $27,000 per year to attend the University should not have to worry that their last weeks of already-paidfor classes will be cancelled. The University needs to take seriously the needs of the GEO with much more efficiency — starting earlier with these negotiations, let’s say four and a half years from now, would be a helpful first step to avoid the threat of an academically debilitating strike.

include “Marginalized by girls for being a nerd; marginalized by nerds for being a girl” and “Wore perfect recreation of super-heroine outfit; called pathetic whore by dudes who drew it.” The Hawkeye Initiative is another current effort to raise awareness about the treatment of women in geek culture, specifically in comic books and graphic novels. It mocks the impossible anatomy of female superheroes and raises awareness of their over-sexualized positions by replacing such characters with Hawkeye. An argument usually heard against the sexism in comics is that men are portrayed sexually as well, and actual men are also set against impossible standards. The men in comics are powerful, commanding, in control. But this argument brings up a false equivalence: Both the depiction of men and women in comics play to male fantasies, whether it be the aspiration and identification with the male figure or the desire for the female. Now this is not an indictment of the graphic novel. It’s an effort to raise awareness about the treatment of women within geek culture and from where such treatment might have found its footing. For a group that used to be inclusive, which would welcome anyone with open arms, a motley crew of outcasts who were thrown together only because they were thrown out of acceptable high school society, these shifts are not only interesting to follow, they are disheartening. They pit classic nerd against casual nerd, cool geek against new geek. They reinforce gender stereotypes, assist in the suppression of women and passion, and, worst of all, forget what it really means to be a nerd.

ome over to the Dark Side, Obama ... I am your father. OK, clearly I’m not Barack’s father, but the next petition that could come across his official’s desk could have Sith-like implications. The chance to vote for a petition has been posted on the White House website for a Death Star is ending soon. Yes, you heard that right, my young Padawans, a fully functioning Death Star. And personally I think this is a great idea. Who in their right mind would mess with a country that has a fricking Death Star?! Nobody. That’s who. If Mitt Romney were elected, we could have had him allocate those extra $2 trillion of military funds to kick-start the Death Star program, maybe start building some hyper-intelligent droids while we’re at it. But this fantasy might not be too far out of reach for the United States. Kind of. The truth is that the United States dwarfs all countries in military spending. We spend roughly $695.7 billion per year. China is in second spending roughly a fifth of that. Then comes Japan, which only spends a tenth of what we do. There is no doubt that we like to flex our military. As Americans we love that we could go toe-to-toe with any military in the world and bury them. So it would only make complete sense that we build such a massive piece of metal, adding the Death Star to our trophy case of military prowess. Think of how cool it will be when we fry our next terrorist threat from outside of Earth’s orbit. Who are we kidding? This whole thing is a joke — the petition, the Death Star and the way we think about our military. It is that mentality that needs to change. It’s that mentality that has cost American lives and the lives of many other innocent people. America is no stranger to war crimes. We are no strangers to genocide (Native Americans), no stranger to concentration camps (the Japanese internment camps). We have gotten ourselves entangled in the affairs of others. We went to Iraq for oil and told them, “Hey, your style of government isn’t good enough for us, please let us force our opinions on you.” We still torture. We ignore the Constitution and go to war without a declaration signed by Congress. What morals do we stick to? We keep putting billions into our military budget to police the world. Not to mention the economic effect. We should have heeded the warning from James Madison. He warned that liberty is threatened during war time: “War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes ... known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” We need to flip the script. I’m not arguing for isolationism, but we need to pick and choose our battles. And right now we are spreading ourselves thin, and it is jeopardizing our freedom and our safety. According to the Department of Defense, the U.S. military is deployed in more than 150 countries around the world, with 196,248 of its 1,414,149 active-duty personnel serving outside the United States, as of Dec. 31, 2011. Since the War on Terror, we have become less safe and less free. The terrorist attacks on 9/11 were likely “blowback,” a term the CIA uses to describe unintended consequences of undercover operations that the public does not know about. So when Americans see the attacks they think to themselves, “Why do they hate us?” As we speak, tons of anti-American groups are popping up. They don’t hate us because we are free. Canada is free. Switzerland is free. What if we wake up and realize that war is almost always started on lies and built on war propaganda? If we are the leaders of the free world then why aren’t we leading by example? Sure, the Death Star is a probably a hoax, but is the idea that big of a stretch in the century? It fits right in with our current foreign policy. However, if we must police the world, this time let’s not leave a little hole big enough for a laser to get through and blow up the entire station — this seems like a major design flaw to me. We should hire a different architect.

LEX failed by providing shoddy service RENÉE WUNDERLICH Opinions columnist

incolnland Express, commonly known as LEX Express, was forced to shut down all services by the U.S. Department of Transportation last Friday. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration indicted the shuttle company for several safety violations, which included using vehicles that were not inspected regularly, failing to properly maintain vehicle parts and falsely reporting duty status. And now it appears that the company is shut down potentially for good. LEX buses have, on more than one occasion, been incredibly late picking up this columnist — one resulting in a missed flight out of Midway Airport. Personal vendettas aside, LEX was still doomed to fail. The lack of care shown through the company’s poor organizational skills was blatant. Timeliness is not something the company was known for — in fact, quite the opposite. Furthermore, it’s possible the number of shifts formerly made available by LEX could have spread the company too thin for proper management to take place. Had LEX cut back on time slots, perhaps better care could have been taken in the handling of the vehicles and those who drove them. As it is, LEX took advantage of area demand by offering a plethora of

shuttle time slots, then took advantage of trusting customers by providing them with shoddy service. Maybe the company will pull itself together and be back in business before the spring semester, but for our sake, let’s hope not. President Robert Frazier of LEX Express said in an interview with WCIA that he feels the government, which is trying to pin mishaps of other, bigger transportation companies, is targeting LEX. Really, LEX? No, you’re not Megabus, but you are essentially the largest bus and shuttle company serving Champaign-Urbana. Or at least you were. Practically a monopoly of the central Illinois shuttle system, LEX had more buses scheduled for the suburbs, Chicago airports and cities like Indianapolis and St. Louis than any other area charter bus company. Those white vans with bold red letters were all over the University, and not just on weekends. Students and staff alike knew what a LEX bus was, even if they had never ridden in one. LEX was a name so well known that making fun of LEX was even easier by Suburban Express. As if we wanted any more references to failures at bipartisanship. Let me be clear: I’m sure there were many fine, honest individuals who worked for LEX. Unfortunately, there were also unlicensed drivers and other careless individuals who contributed to the mismanagement of the company — they really messed it up for over 100 presumably qualified former LEX

employees and thousands of potential student customers both at the University and other colleges and surrounding neighborhoods, whose business will now be deferred to competitors as mentioned by fellow columnist, Tolu Taiwo. These companies are: Illini Taxi, Suburban Express and Peoria Charter. As of Monday, LEX’s website read: “Do to circumstances beyond our control, LEX can no longer provide transportation services to the general public. The office is currently closed.” “Beyond your control,” as in those in charge of the maintenance of the vans and charter buses could not by any means make sure they were in decent working order? “Beyond your control” meaning those instances when unlicensed drivers operating these vehicles just could not be stopped? If quality service through comprehending and organizing the inner-workings of the company is “beyond your control,” then yes, I suppose you will not be able to provide any transportation services any time soon. That is, until you do a serious overhaul of how you do business. And by the way, your website announcement should read: “DUE to circumstances,” not “DO to circumstances ...” You can blame the government and the competition as much as you would like, but you did this to yourself. Sucks to be you, LEX.

Sexism exposed in growing geek culture SARAH FISCHER Opinions columnist

ith the DVD release of “The Dark Knight Rises,” nerds everywhere are surely celebrating, as they have in decades past with the releases of “Monty Python” and “The Wrath of Khan” and the newest Dungeons and Dragons manual. But now, they’re not the only ones celebrating. Movies like the “Dark Knight” trilogy and “The Avengers” have made being a nerd “cool,” or at least more mainstream for both men and women. It’s no longer a subculture but a cultural trend, less of a way of life and more of a choice. This doesn’t mean the end of nerds. It doesn’t mean no more geeks, eagerly anticipating the release of special edition books. It doesn’t mark the end of comic cons and “Firefly” revival campaigns. There’s a shift within geek culture. Being a nerd is no longer a division between being “cool” and being a “nerd.” Now it’s a spectrum. You can be a classic nerd who has seen William Hartnell as the first Doctor. You can be a nerd who plays Minecraft and can sing the Portal song (bonus points if you know who wrote it). You can be a new nerd who has come to comics through the films “Avengers” and “Dark Knight” and “Scott Pilgrim.” You could be all three. I am not one to label someone as a “fake geek” just because their interests are different than mine, or their passions less intense. Sometimes you discover things later. I wasn’t even born when most of the things I love were first released. Instead, I subscribe to New York Times best-selling

author John Green’s definition: “Nerds are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff... nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chaircan’t-control-yourself love it.” Unfortunately, the “classic” versus the “cool” nerd isn’t the only divide wearing on the geek community. As more and more women embrace (or expose) the nerdy sides of themselves, they are being greeted not by happy nerds but by misogynists. Within the geek community, women are forced, again and again to prove their nerd cred. Men can walk around wearing Batman shirts and never be asked how many issues they’ve read. They can go see “Skyfall” without any idea of who Moneypenny is. They can claim the title “gamer” without being forced to list the games they play. An Internet meme called “Idiot Nerd Girl” has been circulating, perpetrating the stereotype that women are not “real nerds,” but instead are posing for attention. Not only is that insulting to the women who could recite all of the riddles from “The Hobbit” or who know the Konami code or who understand the meaning of “42,” it implies that even women who do know those things aren’t actually fans. There are certainly individuals who abuse the nerd moniker, who think because they have a crush on Tom Hiddleston or change a friend’s status on an open Facebook, they are geeks and computer hackers, and those individuals are certainly frustrating — but to insinuate that only women make such comments is absurd. There’s an effort to take back the meme, started by Dark Horse Comics editor Rachel Edidin, turning the taunts against women into statements that reflect the reality of the situation. My favorites

Champaign coffee shop a neighborhood stop BY LYANNE ALFARO STAFF WRITER

Paul West never asked to run a coffee shop, but in his words, “it just fell into my lap.” He co-managed Café Kopi with neighbor and business owner Jennifer Isaacson for six years. When Isaacson moved out of state, West decided to buy and take over the café at 109 N. Walnut Street as opposed to abandoning Kopi altogether. “Coffee shop people tend to like routine; it’s comforting,” West said. “Some people like it a lot. We didn’t want this place to change.” Isaacson and West developed Café Kopi 20 years ago next to Isaacson’s dress shop, Circles. According to West, Isaacson thought the espresso bar would complement the dress shop well. After women stopped by Circles to shop for jewelry, they could “treat themselves to a cappuccino” at Kopi. After the café’s creation, West wanted to preserve its original atmosphere. Perhaps Café Kopi’s most notable update was its expansion into Circles’ vacant building after the shop moved to Neil Street, roughly doubling in size. West said the renovation is a work in progress. Café Kopi still has its old light fixtures, wooden floors and radiators. “I didn’t want to change everything right away,” West said. “This room is still the same. I wanted to keep it the way it was 20 years ago.” A routine-lover himself, West said that the best part about owning Kopi is coming into work every morning knowing that he can get a coffee and a bagel and see familiar faces. “There is something comforting to be able to come in here,” West said. “It’s ... just your classic, cozy neighborhood coffee shop. I think it is a second home to a lot of people.” During winter, the peppermint mocha becomes part of the “cozy neighborhood coffee shop experience.” Prepared with two shots of espresso, steamed milk, peppermint syrup and chocolate sauce, the drink is adorned with whipped cream. The customer also has the choice to add crushed peppermint candy to the drink. For West, the peppermint shavings even add a playful dimension.

Whether you’re listening to classic Christmas tunes, melodies that celebrate the change in weather, or a playlist that will help you pass your finals, quality headphones can be an investment worth considering. The company HeadCase Sound aims to enhance sound quality while giving back to the community. Founded October 2011, HeadCase Sound has been referred to as “the TOMS of music.” The company uses the power of music to inspire a campaign that gives back to the global community and believes that it is time for the younger generation to take up arms in the fight against global poverty. The company’s approach is fairly simple: Customers buy a pair of high-quality headphones for $65, and a portion of the proceeds go to a charity of the customer’s choice. HeadCase Sound donates $10 for each pair of headphones sold to one of five charities: One Day’s Wages, Global Poverty Project, Soles4Souls, Free the Children or The Adventure Project. Josh Fairbairn, CEO of HeadCase Sound, was inspired to start his company after working on a service project in Montreal. “We don’t want people to have to buy Dr. Dre Beats that

ith finals week right around the corner, some students may turn to thoughts of their holiday vacation to help make it through their exams. While some of you may be planning your trip away for the holidays, you and your family should be careful which map service to use to plan your winter break trip, especially if you have an iPhone. After a string of incidents involving motorists stranded for more than 24 hours in a remote region, the state police of Victoria, Australia, have issued an official warning to people who rely on the map application included in Apple’s iOS6. Following the calls of several travelers, police in Mildura, Australia have found that iOS6’s map system may lead people nearly 43 miles astray. The wayward navigation guidance software has stranded at least six motorists in the middle of Australia’s Murray Sun-

To complicate matters, cell phone reception in the area is sparse, forcing the trapped victims to walk several hours without shade, food or water in temperatures up to 115 degrees Fahrenheit to call for help. This is not the first time Apple Maps has been under fire for its accuracy and reliability. Problems have plagued the system since its launch. Earlier this year, the navigation guide accidentally revealed the location of a Taiwanese top-secret military defense base. Apple CEO Tim Cook was forced recently to issue a public apology on its website for the instabilities of the application and fired several executives involved in its creation. As a result, iPhone users have been keen to switch map programs, with many following the development and release of alternatives provided by Nokia and Google. However, if you do make the eventual switch to either of these choices, you should still exercise caution when traveling to a location you have never visited. A large reason for Apple Maps’ problems is the fact that

Company sells headphones, donates money to charities BY SNEHA SHUKLA

Tuesday, December 11, 2012

Apple switched from Google’s mapping data to its own, essentially throwing away Google Maps’ seven years of complication and refinement. While people were quick to criticize iOS6’s mapping application for its inaccuracies, they forget that, in its initial stages, Google Maps also had problems, especially in more sparsely populated areas. However, through user feedback and constant updates, Google Maps has become the reliable navigation guide it is today. So, whether you choose the map program on your smart phone or a standalone GPS to navigate this winter, there are many options to choose from. Some include Google Maps, Bing Maps, Yahoo! Maps and MapQuest, so you will be able to make sure you know exactly where you are going. This knowledge will also help you keep your eyes on the road instead of on your GPS or phone, which will also help you realize earlier when instead of seeing the city you were expecting, you see only miles of desert.

The Samsung product Galaxy S III smart phone boasts a list of new features. Highlights include the 4.8 inch high-defi nition display and the “nature-inspired” natural curve of the phone. The Galaxy S III also has “smart stay,” which recognizes when the user is looking at the phone and maintains a bright display. The feature S Beam allows users to place their Galaxy S III phones back-to-back and transfers music, videos, pictures and more, according to their website.

The iPhone 5 has many improvements from the older 4S model. Most noticeable is the larger screen with a 4-inch retina display. Not only is the display bigger, but it also has 18 percent more pixels than the 4S, with improved color saturation for even more lifelike images. With a sleeker design, the 5 is 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than its previous design. The iPhone 5 features the new A6 chip, which makes the phone faster while also improving the battery life. Included with the phone are the new Apple EarPods, designed to rest comfortably inside a variety of ear types while enhancing the audio experience of users.

Illinois’ Amber Moore attempts to open up a space for a shot during the Illini’s loss to Colorado at Assembly Hall on Dec. 1.

Moore steps up as leader, player Junior guard develops as a captain on, off court for Illinois women’s basketball BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

This year’s Illinois women’s basketba l l tea m ha rd ly resembles last year’s squad. The program has a new coaching staff, a new offense and a new defense. But throughout all these changes, there has been one, unmistakable constant: Amber Moore’s presence on the wing. In her first two seasons, the junior guard shot and made more 3-pointers than all but four players in program history. When first-year head coach Matt Bollant took over at Illinois, his up-tempo offense

continued to give Moore the green light. “We want her shooting 10 threes a game, at least,” Bollant said. Moore hasn’t been able to meet that landmark in every game, although she is averaging 8.7 3-point attempts per game, up from 5.5 3-pointers per game last season and 6.1 per game during her freshman year. Not only is Moore shooting a higher number of 3-pointers, she is attempting them more often. This season, 70 percent of Moore’s shots are threes. Last season, 63 percent of her attempts were threes, while 67 percent were

from beyond the arc during her freshman year. Moore also has increased her accuracy, as she has shot 36percent on long-range shots this season, compared to 33 and 34 percent the last two seasons. “She’s our kid to stretch the defense,” Bollant said. “Some teams are going to guard her differently, and that’s going to open things for other people. But when she’s open, she’s to shoot the basketball and knock down threes and lead us. That’s a way she can show toughness by making shots.” Illinois is 5-1 this season when Moore has converted at least three 3-pointers, and the Illini are 0-3 when she has not. “It’s nice for me because when teams double team me, I can always kick it out to Amber,” senior forward Karisma Penn

said. Moore has improved her scoring average this season from 9.3 points per game to 13.8. She also has increased her rebounding from 2.9 to 4.6 per game and her assists from 1.9 to 3.6. Bollant said Moore is an All-Big Ten caliber player. “By the end of this season, my game will have a lot more respect because I’m being a lot more aggressive,” Moore said. “I don’t think I’ve been having that mentality in previous years, and now I’m just attacking the basket more.” Although the majority of Moore’s field-goal attempts are threes, she identifies as an allaround scorer more than as a 3-point shooter.

OUT OF BOUNDS

Maestas’ injury hurts Illini, but his enthusiasm continues EMILY BAYCI Sports columnist

here was lots to watch at the first-ever Illinois gymnastics Orange and Blue Exhibition on Sunday — men’s head coach Justin Spring jumping around trying to pump up fan support, gymnasts switching places mid routine, Josh Wilson answering a phone call while on the parallel bars and much more. My focus kept drifting to one particular gymnast who had a brace on his right arm. He went from event-to-event cheering on his teammates and was arguably louder than anyone else. C.J. Maestas, sophomore gymnast and Illini superstar, was far away from me, but it wasn’t hard to tell that he wanted to be out there competing. Once closer, the hungry look was easily visible in his dark brown eyes. Maestas, reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year and rings national champion, is sidelined for the 2013 season due to a right tricep injury. Maestas was a leader last season when Illinois won its first

national championship in 23 years. He was slotted to anchor five of the six events this year. The team has major gaps to fill without Maestas. Fortunately for him, he will be able to redshirt. Now Maestas will graduate right before the Rio 2016 Olympics, where he has the potential to be one of Team USA’s top performers. Maestas plans to return to competition for the Visa Championships next August. It may be hard for Maestas to bounce back to his full ability. Not that Maestas is the type of person to let a season-ending injury get him down. “There are hard times, but the good always outweighs the bad,” Maestas said last Monday. In August of 2011, before Maestas had even started his freshman classes, he represented Illinois in the Visa Championships. He took the silver medal on the high bar and was named to the U.S. Senior National Team and the Pan-American Team. With that, Maestas won The Daily Illini’s Illini of the Week award, the first time a freshman ever received that title in the first week of school. And it wasn’t even the regular season.

As the gymnastics beat reporter, I had to explain to him what the award was, just like every single award he won was explained to him throughout the course of the season. His typical response: “Oh, that’s cool,” before he went on to training or hanging out with his teammates. That was my first of many profiles on Maestas. He went on to win Illini of the Week three more times and was The Daily Illini’s Illini of the Year. My intro was about Maestas’ swagger and confidence, how he walked into the gym exclaiming about how Illinois was going to win the national championship in 2012. When Maestas says something, you believe him. He has that aura of confidence yet humility, an aura that can’t be replicated very easily. So, when Illinois had an upand-down season, with one of their stars kicked off the team right before the postseason, I still had faith because Maestas was still there. It’s hard to have faith now because the Illini have a lot to make up for. Senior Yoshi Mori, the Illini’s next best all-arounder will have to step up. There’s no single gymnast who can make

up for Maestas, but several young gymnasts can contribute on more events and hopefully fill in the gaps. It won’t be easy, but a lot can happen before the big meets this spring. However, it’s not like Maestas is going anywhere. He’ll be there mentally, just not physically. Even though he won’t be able to contribute his unmatchable high scores in the all-around, he’ll still be sporting the can-do, hungry attitude. “C.J. is the most outgoing person I’ve ever met,” Spring said last April. “Whether he’s competing or not, he gets more excited than anyone else out there. He’ll still be at every meet he can and his leadership will still be clutch for Illinois in its quest to defend the national title. “This is my team, these are my guys,” Maestas said last Monday. “You could put me in a full-body cast and I’d still be wheeled out to be with them.” The running joke last season was that every one of my articles could open with a different anecdote that defined Maestas’ fierceness. Like how in his first all-around competition he

Illini beat the odds for remarkable win DANIEL MILLERMCLEMORE Basketball columnist

JED CONKLIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Illinois’ Brandon Paul puts up a shot against Gonzaga on Saturday in Spokane, Wash. Paul scored 35 points in Illinois’ 85-74 win.

here’s a moment in the classic 1990s flick “A Few Good Men” when prodigious young lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee (played by Tom Cruise) tells his enthusiastic coworker JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), “We’re gonna lose, and we’re gonna lose huge,” before the two begin the seemingly impossible defense of two marines charged with murder. We know how the story ends (and if you somehow don’t, skip ahead to the next paragraph). Against all odds, Kaffee extracts a miraculous confession from the guilty and responsible Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson at his finest) in one of the greatest courtroom scenes of all time. Prior to the tip of the Illinois-Gonzaga game Saturday night, I felt exactly like Kaffee before his big case, not even daring to hope for anything more than a show. But by about 11:15 p.m., I was standing there, stunned, Brandon Paul’s high-arcing 3-pointer having just splashed through the net to extend the lead to 12 with 1 minute, 7 seconds left and punctuating his “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH” moment.

There’s little I like less than being proved wrong. It’s an innate character default, a stubborn switch I can’t turn off. Ask my parents, my roommates or my ex-girlfriend, they’ll be in fervent agreement (but don’t listen to my ex. She’s crazy). So when the inevitable texts, tweets and emails started rolling in late Saturday night and all of Sunday proclaiming my stupidity for my disbelief in Illinois’ chances at defeating then-No. 10 Gonzaga , I expected to feel a twinge of defensiveness, some embarrassment and maybe fire back a witty response or two (the best I received came Monday morning, was titled “IlliniGonzaga,” and the body simply read “oops”. Thank you, Sam Beshers, for your kind criticisms). But for once, I felt none of those things. I was too caught up in the euphoria of Illinois’ impressive 85-74 victory over a superb Gonzaga team. Given the circumstances — the Illini entered the game relatively untested, playing in a hellish road environment against an undefeated opponent — there was nothing else to feel. It was a remarkable performance, not simply that Illinois was able to win, but how they won. The Zags were essentially a nightmare matchup for the Illini: a well coached team with two skilled 7-footers, an

excellent backcourt, depth and quality shooting. And early on in the game, many of the storylines I, and nearly every other basketball pundit, foresaw unfolded as expected. Gonzaga jumped out to a rapid start, scoring at ease against the smaller Illinois frontcourt. Meanwhile, the Illini were stymied on offense by the Bulldog’s 2-3 zone, missing six of their first seven shots, five of them threes and appearing headed for that offshooting that seems inevitable for a team that relies so heavily on the jump shot. Finesse forward Tyler Griffey appeared overmatched and center Nnanna Egwu went to the bench before six minutes passed after picking up two early fouls. The foul trouble theme plagued the Illini the whole game, with Griffey and Egwu fouling out while Illinois’ only other frontcourt player in the regular rotation, Sam McLaurin, finished with four fouls. But Illinois remained calm, weathering Gonzaga’s size, early game onslaught and foul problems in a way rarely seen with this program in recent years, before clawing back to win (and they even weathered a second half performance by the Gonzaga air guitarist in the process.) It is a remarkable transformation that first-year coach John Groce has enacted on

this team, and it is remarkable to see how the players have responded to him. Last year’s Daily Illini basketball columnist Gordon Voit tweeted following the game that Groce’s work in such a limited time was “just shy of alchemy.” In under a year’s time, Groce has managed to take Illinois from an afterthought in the Big Ten to the national spotlight. The win at Gonzaga is as impressive a victory as any in college basketball this year. The Illini are ranked No. 10 in both the AP and coaches polls released Monday, the first time they have cracked the top 10 since Dee Brown was running the show. They have the attention of the country and Brandon Paul’s virtuoso 35-point performance has him in the (premature) discussion for Player of the Year. I don’t know if it can last. The nightmare of last season’s season-ending slide following a 10-0 start still lingers, and the Big Ten schedule still looms dauntingly in the distance. But the vibe around this team and the aura around Groce feels different and makes me think that high ranking is here to stay. And for once, it feels good to be wrong.

Novitsky uses experience, passion to lead Illinois swimming BY J.J. WILSON STAFF WRITER

What does it take to be a great coach? Obviously, a coach has to have a certain set of skills. Certainly, it cannot be as simple as showing up to practice and telling young men and women how to perform. There is no guarantee that athletes are going to react well to that kind of thing. But then what does it take? Does it require a background in the sport? Is a paternal relationship between athletes and their coaches necessary? Is there a way to make each day of the season hold just as much meaning as the last? For Sue Novitsky, head coach of Illinois’ swimming and diving team, it has required a variety of traits, notably consisting of intelligence, perseverance and a strong heart, to want the best for her swimmers, both as athletes and people. Kathleen Novitsky, Sue’s mother, said her daughter’s history with water dates back to when Sue was 2 years old, wanting to jump into the canal at her grandparents’ house off of Lake St. Clair near the Detroit suburbs. “My parents assumed that one day someone was going to fall into the lake. Therefore, Sue and I were going to learn how to swim,” Thomas Novitsky, her brother, said. “Yes, the swimming lessons paid off, and she did fall in, swam to the ladder and got out of the water without panic.”

MOORE FROM PAGE 1B “I don’t really like when people just call me a 3-point shooter because I have multiple weapons,” she said. “I think this system has given me the opportunity to show what I have. I score from the free-throw line, I score layups. I score more than that.” Moore’s versatility has been a good fit in Bollant’s new system. The 5-foot-11 guard has had to learn all five positions, although she receives minutes as both a guard and forward. The Detroit native said she models her game off of her three favorite players: former Pistons stars Chauncey Billups and Jerry Stackhouse, as well as Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki. “They’re just scorers and basketball players, and they can get a bucket whenever they need it whether it’s from the three or a free throw or anything,” said Moore, who started wearing No. 42 because of Stackhouse. Moore has a lready demonstrated her ability to get a bucket when she needs it early on this season. Earlier this season, Tulsa cut Illinois’ lead to just four points late in the second half, but Moore took over the game with an individual 9-0 run. She was fouled while shooting a 3-pointer and converted all three free throws. She then hit back-to-back threes to extend Illinois’ lead to 13. On Sunday, Moore forced Memphis to abandon its 2-3 zone by going 4-for-8 on 3-pointers. Growing up in Detroit, Moore faced tough basketball competition all of her life. As a third- and fourth-grader, she was the only girl in an allboys league. Even after joining the girls’ league, she continued to compete in both leagues through eighth grade. She was

leadership qualities, and I think that’s all just a testament to her character, which I don’t think she ever labors on. Her character is second to none.” After leaving Oakland in 1991 and going on to obtain her master’s in kinesiology at the University of Michigan, there was still a big question in Novitsky’s life that needed an answer: What was she going to do with the rest of her life? Traveling 343 miles away from her home and leaving behind her family, Novitsky came to the University of Illinois in hopes that more schooling would be the answer. She taught a few kinesiology courses in her free time but still strived for more. When she took a step back and experienced the university community around her, she found her way back into the swimming world, this time as a volunteer assistant coach in 1994, which led to an assistant coaching position in 1997. She was eventually named the program’s fifth head coach in August 2000. Novitsky was successful from the start, as three Illini qualified for the NCAA Championships in her first season. One year later, Novitsky’s coaching aided in senior Jessica Aveyard advancing to the semifinals in the 200 back at the FINA World Swimming Championships in Fukuoka, Japan. Refusi ng c omplacency, Novitsky said she applied Huth’s teachings of helping swimmers become real students of the

sport. Through constructing her own coaching methods, she became the smart, driven leader the influential figures in her early life believed she would become. One of Novitsky’s most notorious methods in training her swimmers has been the process of building a base for them so details can be implemented and fine-tuned until swimmers have unlocked their greatest potential. Her life reflects her own coaching techniques, as she has said she constantly is looking for ways to make herself and her team better. “I personally love working with Sue,” graduate assistant athletic trainer Chase Rogowski said, having only been with the team since August. “Not only (does she) write good practice plans but she looks at some of the exercise physiology mechanisms and really puts science of exercise behind the practice plans for the girls.” Rogowski also said Novitsky is a strong-willed person when it comes to her close relationship between Sue and her assistant head coach Steve Farnau. And Novitsky, Rogowski said, is definitely the one wearing the pants. “At the end of the year banquets, (Sue) always talks about how hard working I am,” Illinois diving coach Chris Waters said. “And I don’t know how she can say that when she’s put in literally double the hours as me and spends more time

either in the office or on stuff related to this team than I even dream about.” Novitsky’s career is not entirely centered on her conviction as an instructor. It is also established by her resolve as a coach — one that compels her to help her swimmers reach their goals while serving as a maternal figure. Both junior Courtney Pope and sophomore Alison Meng agree Sue shows her feelings for them as she grows emotionally invested in their performances each time. Pope said if Novitsky ever gets frustrated with her swimmers, it’s because she wants the best for them. “At the end of (my freshman) season, I had outside problems, and I literally felt like I could go to her and just cry my eyes out to her,” junior Alyssa Toland said. Toland added that Novitsky is the type of person who will take her swimmers in and tell them just how great they are. She said that sometimes they need that person like their mom that they can go to with anything. It all comes down to a basic organization of thoughts when she is balancing her coaching life with her personal life. Novitsky said one of the biggest things she has learned is to find time outside of swimming, whether it would be to work out or catch on extra hours of sleep. Still, Novitsky’s tenacity prevails as all of these attributes are at work as she tries to raise the team to new heights this season.

suffered two major injuries at Illinois, a season-ending knee injury last season, and a broken fifth metatarsal this year. She is expected to miss 12 weeks, but she hopes to be back for Big Ten play. Morris said that Moore’s and Magrum’s experiences with injuries have helped her overcome hers. “It was tough,” said Moore, who was granted a medical redshirt for her freshman season (2009-10). “I had really high expectations and (the coaches) had high expectations for me. I was doing well before then but then getting hurt, I just had to be able to help my team out from the bench with talking.” Three seasons later, the junior is still expected to contribute vocally, as well as on the court. “More is expected of her leadership-wise,” Penn said. “We expect her to talk every day. We expect her voice to be one of the people whose voice is heard the loudest or the most. “I think she’s getting better at (leadership and communication). It’s a work in progress because she’s not naturally a vocal leader, so she’s been working on that.” Earlier this season, Illinois was running through its new schemes with a 10-second shot clock at practice. After a few rushed shots and clumsy turnovers, Bollant halted his players. After questioning their motivation, he and associate head coach Mike Divilbiss suggested cutting practice short for the second straight day. After a short silence, Moore protested. About halfway through her objection, the rest of the women’s basketball team united in a chorus of support for continuing drills that echoed through Assembly Hall. This was just one of the many times, in practice or in a game, that the junior’s voice could be

heard above all others. “I think I’ve been a better vocal leader,” Moore said. “And being a captain is more responsibility to hold my teammates accountable for everything.” Despite being a self-described shy person, coaches say they believe Moore may have a future in coaching. “She should be a coach someday,” Bollant said. “She’s got a great personality, she knows the game. She’s real smart. I told her, ‘If you want to coach, there will be an opportunity for you down the road.’” Her teammates agree. “She definitely has a mind and a heart for coaching,” Magrum said. “You can just see it being her teammate all these years. She just has a great knowledge of the game, and she really loves it and she loves to help people, so I think that would be a really great position for her to be in.” Moore, however, isn’t so sure. “My coaches have talked to me about it,” she said. “I’m a shy person, I don’t know if I could be a coach, but they say they see it in me. Maybe one day.” For now, Moore is focused on her academics and playing career. The kinesiology major said balancing school and basketball has been the toughest challenge she has faced at the University, although her final goal may prove to be even more difficult. “I want to win a Big Ten championship and make it to the NCAAs,” she said. The last time Illinois won a Big Ten title, Moore was in kindergarten, and the last time the Illini played in the NCAA tournament, Moore was in sixth grade, and the MVP of an allboys team.

Novitsky’s swimming career started when her mother enrolled her in swimming lessons at the local YMCA. Novitsky said competition did not come until she was nearly 9, but when she tried it and really liked it, she kept on working hard over the years. This carried into her career in high school and then in college, where she became a two-time Division II All-American swimmer at Oakland University in Michigan. It was at Oakland from 198891, while pursuing a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry, that Novitsky found higher inspiration in her sport from her head coach, Tracy Huth, who hired her as a student assistant coach. “Smartest decision I ever made,” Huth said. “I knew she was going to be able to help out, but she was really just pretty phenomenal. ... Sometimes it was a little scary to have her around because she was so smart.” K now i ng N o v i t s k y ’s intelligence, Huth said he knew there were many things she could have done with her life. But he knew early on that she had the coaching bug. She would break things down for him and the team in ways she was never asked, taking in all she could like a sponge and studying the sport as best she could. “I would describe her as that servant leader,” Huth said. “She’s not afraid to do things for other people but, at the same time, she does it with some unbelievable

““By the end of this season, my game will have a lot more respect because I’m being a lot more aggressive.”

PORTRAIT BY BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

So far this year, the Illini have broken six pool records, set two school records, sent eight swimmers to the 2012 AT&T Winter National Championships and taken second place in the annual Northwestern Invitational. “The thing I like about coaching the most is seeing people achieve their goals and helping them realize how hard they can actually work,” Novitsky said. “To see that smile on their face when they turn around and see their time, that’s really gratifying.” Novitsky no longer may be the same person on the outside who wanted so eagerly to jump into Lake St. Clair, but she is still very much the same person on the inside.

Maestas can’t fix this problem with honey, sugar or even his toughness. He can’t talk away the pain or speed up the recovery process. He can’t compete in the important meets and help lead his team to a second straight title. You never want to see an athlete get hurt, especially ones like Maestas. It was a long and stressful road for the 20-yearold to make it to Illinois and once he finally made it here, he seemed destined for greatness. Maestas fell short of his goal to make the London Olympic team last summer, but his sights were set on Rio. And he wasn’t near finished with one Illinois national title, he had high hopes of building a powerhouse. This column was supposed to be about how everyone should be watching Maestas this season, how the Illini were ranked No. 1 in the country and could likely defend their title, and how this wouldn’t be a season to miss. Everything is different now, but the Illini are used to being the underdogs. And although you won’t see Maestas’ rocksolid rings routine or thrilling release moves on the high bar, you should still be looking for him on the sidelines. I know I will, yo.

White Sox, Keppinger sign contract for 3 years Versatile infielder may fill hole at 3rd base BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANDY KING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith looks on during a football game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in Minneapolis. The Vikings won 21-14, dropping the Bears to 8-5 and knocking them out of first place in the division. If the Green Bay Packers (9-4) defeat the Bears this weekend then the Packers will clinch the NFC North.

Bears playoff future in question

Head coach Smith says Chicago is in control of postseason hopes BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Coach Lovie Smith realizes the Chicago Bears no longer control their fate in the NFC North. Their playoff hopes still are in their hands, though. That’s something Smith emphasized Monday on the heels of an ugly loss at Minnesota that knocked the Bears (8-5) out of first place in the division. They’ve dropped four of five and are free falling for the second straight year with Green Bay coming to Soldier Field this weekend. If the Packers (9-4) win, they clinch the division, and a wild card is no sure thing for Chicago. The Bears were sixth in the NFC after Sunday’s loss, with Washington, Dallas and Minnesota a game behind them. “We need a little bit of help as far as the division is concerned,” Smith said. “But we do control our playoff hopes. That’s what we have to lay everything we do right now on, to just play better football.” That’s something the Bears haven’t done since they racked up 51 points in a win at Tennessee on Nov. 4.

They were 7-1 after that game, but the schedule took a tougher turn with back-to-back losses against Houston and San Francisco that started this slide. It lightens up after this week with games against Arizona and Detroit to close the season, although both are on the road. The Bears could get into the playoffs with fewer than 11 wins, but it might come down to tiebreakers. “The pressure we’re feeling right now is on our performances,” Smith said. “Improving, it’s on us. We talked about someone else controlling the division, but what happens to us, it doesn’t’ really matter about the teams ahead of us or the teams behind us right now. It’s just what we do. We’re not looking at that at all. ... We have the Packers coming in and that’s enough right there for all of our thoughts to just go on them.” The recent skid has only fueled the notion that the early run had as much to do with who the Bears were playing as it did with how good they are. It’s also sparked memories of last year’s collapse and renewed speculation about Smith’s future. He was

spared at the end of last season while then-general manager Jerry Angelo got the ax, after the Bears went from 7-3 to finishing at 8-8. New GM Phil Emery had a mandate to keep the coach for this season, but beyond that? “I think every day I’ve been here, each day I think all of us come to work we’re going to do the best job we possibly can,” said Smith, who’s signed through 2013. “All of our futures are tied. It’s all based on wins and losses, really, and I’m OK with that.” The Bears have lost all the momentum they had in the early going, just as they did after Cutler broke his right thumb last season. He was unable to finish the game against Houston because of a concussion and missed the next game at San Francisco. Against Minnesota, Cutler had to leave in the fourth quarter because of a sore neck. Cutler took a hit to the head by Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen that drew a penalty, but he said afterward his neck was bothering him all afternoon and worsened as the game went on. Cutler finished that drive before Jason Campbell took over, but he doesn’t expect to miss any more time. He said Monday during his weekly appearance on the “Waddle & Silvy Show” on Chicago’s WMVP-AM 1000

that “unless something drastic happens, absolutely” he will be ready to play against the Packers. Kicker Robbie Gould also strained his left calf during warmups. He did handle extra points and an onside kick but ceded kickoff duties to punter Adam Podlesh. The Bears did not attempt any field goals, so it’s not clear if Gould or Podlesh would have handled them. Smith did not rule out bringing in kickers for tryouts this week in case Gould isn’t ready. The Bears could point to a long list of injuries in recent weeks, with Brian Urlacher (hamstring) possibly out for the remainder of the season and cornerback Tim Jennings (shoulder) sidelined against Minnesota. But that only partially explains the poor execution on both sides of the ball, the lack of big plays on defense. They were supposed to be built to weather them, anyway. And at the moment, the Packers are rolling despite a run of injuries that would have derailed most teams. “Right now we just have to win out,” receiver Brandon Marshall said after the loss at Minnesota. “It doesn’t matter. Forget the Xs and Os, forget the first 11, 12 games of the season. All of that doesn’t matter at this point. We have the guys in this locker room that can get it done and we have to get it done.”

CHICAGO — Jeff Keppinger isn’t sure where he’ll play with the White Sox. He is certain Chicago is the place for him, though. The White Sox announced a three-year, $12 million contract with Keppinger on Monday after reaching an agreement last week, adding a versatile infielder who could fill a hole at third base. “I really like that city,” he said on a conference call. “I thought it would be a good fit for me.” Keppinger is set to earn $3.5 million next season, $4 million in 2014 and $4.5 million in 2015 after hitting a career-high .325 in 115 games with Tampa Bay last season. He made 41 starts at third base, 23 at second, 21 at first and 19 as the designated hitter. The White Sox have an opening at third, and there’s a good chance he’ll wind up there even though he never discussed that with them. Kevin Youkilis finished last season at the position for Chicago and is now a free agent. “I haven’t talked to anybody about where I’m going to play,” Keppinger said. “To me, it really doesn’t matter. I’ve played a lot of different positions throughout my career, and I feel comfortable at all of them. Wherever they want me to play, I’m good with it.” Just as important, his right leg is improving. Keppinger broke his fibula when he tripped down some stairs at home early in the offseason, terrible timing for a player on the market. He said he’ll be out of his walking boot on Tuesday and expects to be healed by the start of spring training. “I thought I just rolled my ankle and sprained it,” he said. “I’m wearing flip-flops coming down the stairs and slipped. I tried to catch myself and I just didn’t land right.” Keppinger is a career .288 hitter over eight seasons with the New York Mets, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Houston, San Francisco and Tampa Bay. “His versatility gives (manager Robin Ventura) some options to move him around the infield, which was part of the appeal for us,” general manager Rick Hahn said. “Obviously, if we were to start the season today — which we obviously don’t — I would expect him to be the Opening Day third baseman, but there’s still a fair amount of the offseason to go.” He said the White Sox are still in contact with other teams and free agents. Catcher A.J. Pierzynski remains unsigned, too, but Hahn had no update on that situation. “We’re not going to give any update on it,” he said. “I think we’re better served by not providing conversation about conversations, blowby-blow updates, on how the talks are going other than saying we’re in regular contact, and the dialogue’s been very open and honest from our perspective about expectations and fit. We expect it to continue in that vein until there’s some resolution.”

Green Bay could clinch NFC North title against Chicago Packers able to recover from rough start, injuries BY NANCY ARMOUR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREEN BAY, Wis. — A month into the season, few people outside of Green Bay would have given the Packers a shot at the NFC North title. Heck, even the folks in Green Bay could have been forgiven for feeling a little pessimistic. The injuries were already starting to pile up, and the Packers had been the victims of the Inaccurate Reception. With a losing record five weeks in and the Chicago Bears off to a blazing start, a wild card seemed about the best the Packers could do. Now look at them. One of the NFL’s hottest teams over the past two months with seven victories in eight games, Green Bay (9-4) can clinch the division title with a win Sunday in Chicago. The No. 2 seed, and the first-round bye that goes with it, is still a possibility, too. “We’re excited about the opportunities that we continue to create,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “You get what you put into it and our guys have a great frame of mind. It’s a good locker room, it’s a steady locker room. We don’t swing with the highs and lows. “Special, that’s what we’re in it for,” he added. “We’re not in it just to get to the playoffs or to have a winning season.” Players and coaches on pretty much every team talk about resiliency, and how they can’t let injuries or losses turn into a distraction. Or, worse, an excuse. But talk is cheap — just look at some of the records out there — and it’s tough to continue looking ahead week after week. The Packers, though, have turned it into something of an art form. Few teams have been hit harder by injuries, with the

Packers losing more than a dozen starters or projected starters for two or more games. That includes No. 1 receiver Greg Jennings (eight games), perennial Pro Bowler Charles Woodson (six games), sackmaster Clay Matthews (four games) and C.J. Wilson (three games), a cornerstone of their run defense. Running back Cedric Benson is on injured reserve, as is offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga. Yet the Packers simply fill the holes and move on. In Sunday night’s 27-20 win over Detroit, it was a rookie, Mike Daniels, who had the fumble return for a score that swung momentum Green Bay’s way. The go-ahead touchdown was scored by DaJuan Harris, who’d been elevated from the practice squad eight days earlier. “You can’t sit around and invest a lot of time in guys that you’re not going to have out there,” defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. “You’ve got to focus all your attention on the guys you do have.” The Green Bay resolve starts with McCarthy. Low-key and humble — he joked Monday that his players take their cue from his “boring” press conferences — he is not one for histrionics on the sideline or drama anywhere else. Circumstances are what they are, and there’s no sense wasting time on anything else. When the Packers lost that game in Seattle on a controversial call, not only did McCarthy refuse to whine or complain, he called the replacement referee who made the wrong call to offer his support. That attitude has filtered down to the players. “It says a lot about the locker room leadership,” McCarthy said. “We’ve accomplished some things in the past that we

Daniels’ return was able to lift the Packers over the Lions. can maybe look back on. What are you to do with your energy? What are we going to do with our time? How are you going to apply it? I think our guys do a good job of it.” It helps that the Packers have some practice at this. Two years ago, they had so many injuries they were practically pulling guys off the street to fill the lineup. They wound up winning the Super Bowl.

“They know there’s an expectation level ... that they’ve got to be not only accountable to themselves, but accountable to everybody in that room,” Capers said. “So if their number’s called, then they owe it to the guy sitting next to them to be ready to go out and do their job.” Green Bay’s recent run hasn’t always been pretty; the Packers struggled against Jacksonville, and trailed in both games against Detroit. But aside from a blow-

out by the Giants, Green Bay has managed to find ways to win. “I don’t get caught up in statistics,” McCarthy said. “We’ve got nine wins. That’s only statistic I worry about.” The Packers could make it 10 wins — and a division title — against the Bears, adding extra buzz to a rivalry that’s already the NFL’s best. And it’s the rivalry, not the spoils that could come with it, that will get Green Bay’s full

attention this week, McCarthy said. “You start to get voice mails from Willie Davis, people like that, early this morning, you know it’s a big game,” McCarthy said. “So we’re focused on beating the Bears down there. It’s a tough place to play. Yes, we’d love to wrap up division and hopefully be playing for more the next two weeks. But this is about the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears.”
