José Antonio Vargas is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journal-ist from the Philippines and has written for publications includ-ing the Washington Post, Huff-ington Post and The New York Times Magazine. Vargas won a Pulitzer Prize, along with a team of reporters at the Wash-ington Post, for breaking news on the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007. Vargas also revealed in an

essay that ran in June 2011 in the New York Times Magazine that he has never been regis-tered as an offi cial United States citizen.

Vargas has been undocument-ed for almost 20 years and uses his story to spread awareness and advocate for others in his situation.

Vargas will speak at Lincoln Hall on Thursday night about his life as an undocumented immigrant. He will also discuss Defi ne American, a program he founded to help others like him.

He will give another presen-tation at the University YMCA at noon Friday as part of the Friday Forum series. He will talk about the role of immi-gration policies in the current election.

A new concept that could pro-mote cross-campus collabora-tion has been germinating across University of Illinois campuses — a project called UI Labs: The Future Today .

The proj-ect will involve research part-n e r s h i p s between the University of Illinois and pub-lic and private partners. The concept allows for research opportunities in the University’s areas of exper-tise, Universi-ty spokesman Thomas Hardy said.

No offi cial location or time line for the concept has been decided yet, but Chicago has been ref-erenced as a choice for the lab, Hardy said.

Because the project is still a work in progress, many ques-

tions will remain unanswered for now, including where the funding will come from.

“We don’t want this competing with the University in terms of grant support or other sources of funding,” said Nicholas Bur-

bules, Universi-ty Senates Con-ference chair . “This should be a net addition-al benefi t to the University, not something that simply draws faculty and proj-ects from one campus to anoth-er place. If it’s just transferring money from one pocket to anoth-er, it’s not help-ing anybody.”

The concept has been dis-cussed among University of Illi-nois offi cials but has yet to be dis-cussed on a campus level.

Burbules said there is enthusi-asm about the project within the

Urbana community mem-bers can now give feedback regarding encounters with the Urbana Police Department. The Illinois Police-Community Interaction Survey was released last week, offering communi-ty members the opportunity to rate their experiences with the department.

According to a press release, the results of the survey will

help the Urbana Police Depart-ment, along with other police departments in the country, improve police procedures and approaches. The University of Illinois at Chicago’s Center for Research in Justice and Law is administrating the program.

“For a long time, there has never been any real standard-ized, validated measures of police performances that deal with the quality of service being delivered to the community,”

said Dennis Rosenbaum, direc-tor of UIC’s Center for Research in Justice and Law and profes-sor of Criminology and Justice. “Oftentimes, the trust and con-fi dence that the community has on the police depends upon how offi cers and citizens interact when they do have encounters.”

The research center will com-pile the results of the survey. Rosenbaum said the survey will

Board of Education approves 1-year contract for Champaign teachers unionDAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

The Champaign School Dis-trict and the Champaign Feder-ation of Teachers have reached a contract agreement.

On Monday, the Board of Education approved the rati-fi ed contract by CFT.

“Everyone feels relieved it (has) been approved and now we can focus on serving

the kids in our district,” said Stephanie Stuart, community relations coordinator for the Champaign School District.

The one-year agreement has four provisions: compensa-tion, reduction in force/recall, retirement incentive and eval-uation. Stuart added that sala-ry was a sticking point for the board throughout.

The teachers’ contract expired on June 30 . Negotiations between the two had been in progress since April.

“I commend both of the Board of Education and CFT leadership for their dedication to reaching a fair contract,” said Superintendent Judy Wiegand.

BY JONATHAN FAHEYTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — U.S. oil output is surging so fast that the United States could soon overtake Sau-di Arabia as the world’s biggest producer.

Driven by high prices and new drilling methods, U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydro-carbons is on track to rise 7 per-cent this year to an average of 10.9 million barrels per day. This will be the fourth straight year of crude increases and the big-gest single-year gain since 1951.

The boom has surprised even the experts.

“Five years ago, if I or anyone had predicted today’s produc-tion growth, people would have thought we were crazy,” says Jim Burkhard, head of oil mar-kets research at IHS CERA, an energy consulting fi rm.

The Energy Department fore-casts that U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons, which includes biofuels, will aver-age 11.4 million barrels per day next year. That would be a record for the U.S. and just below Sau-di Arabia’s output of 11.6 million barrels. Citibank forecasts U.S. production could reach 13 mil-lion to 15 million barrels per day by 2020, helping to make North America “the new Middle East.”

The last year the U.S. was the world’s largest producer was 2002, after the Saudis drasti-cally cut production because of low oil prices in the aftermath of 9/11. Since then, the Saudis and the Russians have been the world leaders.

The United States will still need to import lots of oil in the years ahead. Americans use 18.7 mil-lion barrels per day. But thanks to the growth in domestic production and the improving fuel effi ciency of the nation’s cars and trucks, imports could fall by half by the end of the decade.

The increase in production hasn’t translated to cheaper gas-oline at the pump, and prices are expected to stay relatively high for the next few years because of growing demand for oil in developing nations and political instability in the Middle East and North Africa.

Still, producing more oil domes-tically, and importing less, gives the economy a signifi cant boost.

The companies profi ting range from independent drillers to large international oil companies such as Royal Dutch Shell, which increasingly see the U.S. as one of the most promising places to drill. ExxonMobil agreed last month to spend $1.6 billion to increase its U.S. oil holdings.

Increased drilling is driving economic growth in states such as North Dakota, Oklahoma, Wyo-ming, Montana and Texas, all of which have unemployment rates far below the national average of 7.8 percent. North Dakota is at 3 percent; Oklahoma, 5.2.

Businesses that serve the oil industry, such as steel companies that supply drilling pipe and rail-roads that transport oil, aren’t the only ones benefi ting. Homebuild-ers, auto dealers and retailers in energy-producing states are also getting a lift.

IHS says the oil and gas drill-ing boom, which already supports 1.7 million jobs, will lead to the creation of 1.3 million jobs across the U.S. economy by the end of the decade.

“It’s the most important change to the economy since the advent of personal computers pushed up productivity in the 1990s,” says economist Philip Verleger, a vis-iting fellow at the Peterson Insti-tute of International Economics.

The major factor driving domestic production higher is a newfound ability to squeeze oil out of rock once thought too dif-fi cult and expensive to tap. Drill-ers have learned to drill hori-zontally into long, thin seams of shale and other rock that holds oil, instead of searching for rare underground pools of hydrocar-bons that have accumulated over millions of years.

To free the oil and gas from the rock, drillers crack it open by pumping water, sand and chemicals into the ground at high pressure, a process is known as hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.”

While expanded use of the method has unlocked enormous reserves of oil and gas, it has also raised concerns that contaminat-ed water produced in the process could leak into drinking water.

The surge in oil production has other roots, as well:

— A long period of high oil pric-es has given drillers the cash and the motivation to spend the large sums required to develop new techniques and search new plac-es for oil. Over the past decade, oil has averaged $69 a barrel. Dur-ing the previous decade, it aver-aged $21.

— Production in the Gulf of Mexico, which slowed after BP’s 2010 well disaster and oil spill, has begun to climb again. Huge recent fi nds there are expected to help growth continue.

— A natural gas glut forced drillers to dramatically slow nat-ural gas exploration beginning about a year ago. Drillers sudden-ly had plenty of equipment and workers to shift to oil.

The most prolifi c of the new shale formations are in North Dakota and Texas. Activity is also rising in Oklahoma, Colora-do, Ohio and other states.

Production from shale forma-tions is expected to grow from 1.6 million barrels per day this year to 4.2 million barrels per day by 2020, according to Wood Mack-enzie, an energy consulting fi rm. That means these new formations will yield more oil by 2020 than major oil suppliers such as Iran and Canada produce today.

By the end of this year, U.S. crude output will be at its high-est level since 1998 and oil imports will be lower than at any time since 1992, at 41 percent of consumption.

“It’s a stunning turnaround,” Burkhard says.

provide data on the quality of police services instead of quan-titative data.

“Historically, police depart-ments were being judged by few narrow indicators of per-formance such as crime rates and arrest rates,” he said. “The reality is that the community is very much interested in the qual-ity of the police service.”

The Urbana Police Depart-ment is one of about two dozen Illinois communities to partic-ipate in a statewide program, according to the press release.

Rosenbaum said feedback from community members would be helpful for the research center to see how Illinois police offi cers are doing.

“In the case of Urbana, we were interested in the larger agencies in Illinois, but also agencies where the leadership showed that they were progres-sive and interested in innova-tion in policing,” he said. “We certainly encourage people in the community to participate; I think the success of these efforts depend heavily upon the community’s recognition of the importance of this kind of information for improving police services and police-community relations.”

Sylvia Morgan, assistant chief of police for the Urbana Police Department, said the survey will be conducted over the course of a few months, possibly through May. She said the duration will allow enough time for citizens to complete the form.

The anonymous survey is sent to Urbana community members with police encounters, exclud-ing violent crimes, and can be completed online or by phone.

“No one has to worry about any type of confidentiality and things of that nature,” she said. “No one’s identity will be revealed in the survey.”

Morgan said the Urbana Police Department is glad to partici-pate in the survey and receive feedback regarding the quality of its policing strategies.

“We always look for ways to change our way of doing or do things a little bit differently in order to be better perceived in the community,” she said.

University Senates Conference, especially because of its promo-tion of cross-campus collaboration and high profi le.

Lynn Fisher, UIS campus sen-ate chair , said the labs will pro-vide research opportunities that previously did not exist.

“There’s a potential opportunity for faculty research in a somewhat new setting,” she said.

Burbules said the lab will have the opportunity to work on techni-cal and nontechnical issues.

“I’ve heard talk about Chicago school reform as one of the things that people up there might look at,” he said.

Burbules envisions the lab as working on products that will help not only the city, but the state, country and world.

The research will most likely follow the funding, Burbules said.

“Over time they’re talking about a very large amount of money, maybe $500 million being raised and invested in this, but they don’t have anything like that yet,” he said.

One concern that has arisen is the idea that by not building the lab in Urbana-Champaign, resourc-es may be shifted away from the University.

“We have a research park in Urbana. The whole point is that if you’re in the Chicago area, you have access to support and corpo-rate partners that you don’t have access to down here — at least not to the same degree,” Burbules said. “Having a high-profi le image for the University of Illinois in the Chicago area would be really ben-efi cial to the institution.”

Taking the lab to Chicago puts the University of Illinois in a highly visible location and gives it the opportunity to make a pub-lic impact.

“Part of the interest in this from the Chicago standpoint is that it may be a way of taking an area of the city that is centrally located but could be rebuilt and revital-ized with this research center as its hub,” Burbules said.

That kind of gentrifi cation, however, would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, according to Burbules.

“The core of the idea is very ambitious,” he said.

Lawrence Schook, vice presi-dent for research , has been invited by the Urbana-Champaign cam-pus senate to the Nov. 5 meeting in order to discuss ideas about the concept of UI Labs in further detail.

“Now that it looks like it may-be is going to take off, I think it’s important now to come back and talk to the governance bodies,” Burbules said. “That’s the next step that I’m invested in right now — making sure that there is consultation, information and feedback.”

munities out of all the states. ... Really, my goal is to just go there, meet people and also try to fi gure out how we can build alliances, how we can make sure that we’re bringing in as many different people from as many different groups as possible to advocate for immi-grant rights. Because immi-grant rights is not just about Latinos and Asian people, it’s about also white people, black people — all Americans should have a say in this.

DI: Why did you decide to rein-troduce yourself to America as an undocumented immigrant?JV: To be an undocumented person in this country is to not have the legal documents to be here, but we are, after all, talk-ing about pieces of paper. You know, I don’t, of course, under-mine rights and legal nature of the law and all. I respect the law; that’s precisely why I came out and decided that I’m done lying. ... And I love and respect America ... I intro-duced myself as an undocu-mented American because that’s what I am. I’m a person in this country that doesn’t have the right papers ... to be here.

DI: What thoughts were running through your mind when your essay was published in The New York Times Magazine?JV: I was afraid.

US crude oil output speeds up

After being released 2 months ago, Jackson back at Mayo ClinicHospital con! rms US Rep. being held for further evaluationBY SOPHIA TAREENTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was back at the Mayo Clinic for an evaluation Tuesday and possibly a longer stay, nearly two months after being released for treatment of bipolar disor-der at the Minnesota hospital, his father said Tuesday.

“I don’t know how long he’s going to be there,” his father, civ-il rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, told The Associated Press.

The hospital confi rmed Tues-day that Jackson was back at the facility in Rochester, Minn., for a follow-up evaluation “to ensure he is on the path to properly manage his health.” The statement did not say much else.

His father said his son was at the clinic for a doctor’s visit, and a family spokesman said he would issue a statement after the evaluation.

The congressmen quietly went on medical leave in June, and his offi ce released scant details until the Mayo Clinic confi rmed nearly two months later that he had been treated for bipolar disorder and gastrointestinal issues.

Jackson has made no public appearances since then. The only campaigning he’s done has been a recorded robocall to voters over the weekend where he asked for patience. But his wife, Council-woman Sandi Jackson, his father and two fellow Democratic Illi-nois congressmen who visited him Monday have said they’ve encour-aged him to take his time in com-ing back to work or the campaign.

Work-study program delays vets’ pay

BY DAN ELLIOTTTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER — Exasperated vet-erans who work part time for the Veterans Administration while attending college say their pay-checks are sometimes weeks late, leaving them in trouble with bill collectors or having to borrow money to avoid eviction.

The two-week paycheck is typi-cally about $360, and can be vital to veterans raising families and juggling expenses.

“It’s absolutely crucial,” said Neal Boyd, an Army veteran who has two children, attends Danville Area Community College in Illi-nois and works for the VA in the school’s career services offi ce to help other veterans.

The VA work-study program lets them work an average of up to 25 hours a week on the VA payroll if they are full-time or three-quar-ter-time college students.

The program is separate from other GI Bill benefi ts such as tuition and textbook assistance and a housing allowance that var-ies by location. But veterans said those benefi ts don’t cover all their expenses, and they need a job to make ends meet.

The veterans were paid a total of $25.7 million in fi scal year 2011, the most recent year for which sta-tistics were available. They are paid the federal minimum wage, $7.25 an hour, or their state’s mini-mum wage, whichever is higher.

The number of veterans in the program depends on the needs of their schools, and veterans qualify based on their fi nancial need and other factors, the VA said. Veter-ans who want to join the program submit a contract to the VA for approval.

More than 10,000 veterans are in the VA work-study program nationwide, but it’s diffi cult to pin down how widespread the pay-check delays are.

The VA said on average, the checks are issued less than a week after time cards are received by the VA, but acknowledged they-

have been delayed at a process-ing center in St. Louis, one of four nationwide, because of a heavy workload and the loss of three workers.

In a statement, the department said it hired more workers in St. Louis last month and now has six assigned to process work-study paper work. The St. Louis offi ce cut the processing time for pay-checks to fi ve days, down from an average as high as 12 days in some months, the statement said.

The St. Louis offi ce handles work-study time cards and con-tracts from 19 states, mostly in the Midwest.

The VA said it is investigating some individual cases and looking for other changes to speed up the checks. It said it wants to ensure that all veterans get their benefi ts on time.

Two Colorado veterans who que-ried VA work-study students in several states say they found that 48 percent said it usually takes two to four weeks to get their checks.

Nearly 13 percent said more than a month.

The two veterans, Ashley Met-calf and Morgan Sforzini, said they were having problems get-ting paid and wondered whether other veterans were.

A total of 88 VA work-study students from 16 states answered their written questions. More than half were in states that submitted their time cards to the St. Louis offi ce. Six veterans interviewed by The Associated Press reported delays of up to two months in get-ting a paycheck or getting approv-al for the contract allowing them to hold a work-study job. They also complained of long waits on hold when calling about the checks and contracts.

Veterans at the University of Colorado, Denver, keep score to see “who cannot get paid the lon-gest,” said Metcalf, an Air Force veteran who has a work-study job. The record is 90 days.

The veterans fi nd various work-arounds when their checks are

late, from getting emergency loans to temporarily getting on their col-lege’s payroll.

Loki Jones, an Army Special Forces veteran who served in Iraq, said he had to borrow money to pay his rent last spring because his work-study check was about three months late.

Jones, a student at the Univer-sity of Colorado, Denver, said his contract was lost and then his time card was held up at least twice, once because he failed to initial parts of it.

“If I hadn’t gotten that emer-gency loan, if that hadn’t gone through, I would have gotten kicked out of my apartment for sure,” he said.

Air Force veteran Jon Bohland-er, who attends Johnson County Community College in Kansas, said he submitted a contract exten-sion in late May or early June for a job during the college’s summer session. The approved extension came back on July 27, a day before the session ended.

Prolonged waits for wages cause college veterans hardship

CHARLIE RIEDEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An oil facility operates in Greensburg, Kan. Domestic crude oil production has risen signifi cantly in recent years. Experts have attributed the increase to high prices and the use of hydraulic fracturing, also known as ‘fracking.’ Oil-producing states also have unemployment rates below the national average.

Nearly 13 percent said it takes more than a month.

If you take a stroll on the Quad and fleetingly pass by a smoker’s cigarette butt, the

entire interaction seems just that — fleeting. It doesn’t seem that the entire five seconds you’ve been exposed to secondhand smoke will have any impact, especially not when you’re in as open a space as the Quad.

But in your body, a domino effect, instigating a set of mech-anisms, is starting to run a toll on the most crucial functions of your body: In five minutes, the smoke has already considerably stiffened your aorta, restricting the blood flow to your heart. In as little as 15 minutes, the endo-thelium that lines your arter-ies has dilated, and in 30 min-utes, the effect on your coronary arteries is similar to that of a habitual smoker’s. In one hour of exposure to secondhand smoke, the increased levels of platelet activity mimic that of a firsthand smoker’s, showing that your body is working harder and hard-er to mend the damaging effects of that cigarette butt you’re not even enjoying yourself.

Case in point: No level of expo-sure to secondhand smoke is risk-free. The effects are imme-diate, and though a brisk pace behind a smoker doesn’t seem like a big deal, those moments

accumulate and will make an effect on your health, whether you’re a smoker or nonsmoker.

And unlike those who choose to down a bucket of KFC, those who are subjected to secondhand smoke aren’t making the choice themselves.

The University-wide smok-ing ban is a hot-button issue for everyone on campus — as evi-denced by the near 50-50 split in people’s opinions. The most brought-up counterarguments to the ban include questions about its enforcement, whether students and faculty members’ rights are being overridden and the effectiveness of the ban.

But in all of this dialogue against the campuswide smoking ban, we’ve escaped our respon-sibility to address the pertinent reasons that even brought about the birth of the ban.

So, briefly, I’m going to make a public-service announcement and remind us all why it mat-ters that a ban like this is put in place:

! Cigarette smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals, of which hundreds are toxic and 70 have been classified as carcino-genic. Some of these chemicals include ammonia, carbon monox-ide, cyanide and lead. (And these are just four of the 7,000.)

! Smoking bans do make an impact. According to a study conducted by Mayo Clinic, cas-es of adverse cardiovascular health, such as cardiac arrest, was halved after two policies restricting public smoking went

into effect in Olmsted County, Minn.

This list is the Sparknotes version of entire textbooks and reports on the effects of smoking on cancer, heart health, metabo-lism, etc. But remarkably, it’s not at the forefront of the discussion that’s being had about the smok-ing ban that will be taking place next year. Instead, the discussion focuses on what the policy may mean for personal liberty.

No doubt, there are social issues to be resolved in regard to how smokers may be perceived on our campus or about what this policy may signal for the future of other restrictions that may be enacted.

But our heated emotions toward the social issues at hand do not trump what adverse health effects come from smoking.

We might not see it now, we might not see it 30 years or even 70 years, for that matter, but for every second we are given the opportunity to live a healthier life, we will thank ourselves for having mitigated as many health risks as possible.

Attention to these social issues drives our society toward posi-tive change. But before we direct our attention to our social rights, we need to pay respect to each person’s more fundamental right to good health. The smoking ban is a stride toward necessary change for the University.

This campaign has gone on since the last one ended. And it doesn’t seem like the 2012

election will end on Nov. 6, so much as the battle for 2016 will begin on Nov. 7. In the perpetual campaign cycle, politicians are forced to constantly one-up their opponents in verbiage and com-mitments. Selling points are made throughout stump speeches, and televised debates become info-mercials. With the last presiden-tial debate finally behind us, we only have two more weeks to go until Election Day. But before these next 14 days are up, voters in battleground states and those of us around the nation are going to be hearing much more from Romney and Obama. More specifi-cally, we’re going to be told what each one can promise us and how that promise is better than the other guy’s.

But I’m tired of promises.Whether it’s slowing the rise of

the oceans or healing the planet as Obama said in 2008, both seem a little bit above the president of the United States’ pay grade. So does creating 12 million new jobs. Government can’t do any of these things. Why would politi-cians intentionally promise some-thing that they know they can’t do? Because we keep on believing them.

They keep playing this crooked game with us, and they keep win-ning. Many politicians nowadays have learned the crafty art of the poker face. Give out a lot of gener-al promises and obligations to spe-

cific voting blocs, and then hold back on specifics that may entan-gle some previous engagement. After you, the public, have been hooked on their message, they’ll play the one close to your heart as we’ve seen in the last debate. Romney made a conscious effort to appeal to women voters, while Obama told an emotional tale from his presidency conveniently highlighting the death of one Osa-ma bin Laden. Both men pledged support for Israel, but responses like “I stand with Israel” instead of a direct answer to the question about direct military engagement in Monday’s debate at Lynn Uni-versity in Florida leaves ambigu-ity where there should be clarity.

There has been a disturbing lack of specifics in each candi-date’s plan for even our most important national issues. They’re holding their cards close, and no cracks in the poker faces. But that’s what we have come to expect. Until voters demand details, none will be given. So nothing is out of order here. Each candidate is giving out promis-es, but the effects of these new promises will not take effect until after their prospective terms in office. These promises, though, never truly see their end in the first term of a presidency: They set up how they are going to finish it, but leave the rest for another term. Obama promised to have the troops out of Afghanistan, but we won’t see that happen until 2014 — in a second term. No two-party system candidate has a plan to significantly reduce the deficit and balance the budget during their respective tenure. One already promised to cut it in half and failed to live up to that commitment.

These promises are nice-sound-

ing and all, but they come with conditions. These conditions make it easy to shirk responsibil-ity. Promises based on conditions like a good economy or world peace are promises with strings. If these unlikely qualifications aren’t met, the promises are revoked or tweaked. Even if the candidates don’t live up to their hype, they will still be president for at least four years down the road. They will have taken their pot from the middle of the table before they pay out their prom-ises. This is a necessary risk we have to take with all candidates, regardless of character. But we need to examine each as close-ly as possible to ensure we will get a good return on our invest-ment of trust. The poker game needs to end, and specifics need to be emphasized over general promises.

It’s all fun and politics until somebody gets hurt. And this game we play with politicians every 2-4 years is beginning to turn into serious complications. There are serious debates to be had on foreign policy, but two weeks out of an election is not the time to switch positions on troops in Afghanistan, nor is two months out time to mislead con-cerning a terrorist attack in Beng-hazi, Libya. The consequences of these promises being broken, the aftermath and beyond, as shown in these events, affect the global polity and the well-being of home as well. The flirtations with dan-gerous outcomes through our offi-cials’ campaign obligations walk a thin line.

But I guess Russian roulette truly isn’t the same without a gun.

V oters commonly think of a presidential election as a long job interview. Each candidate

has several months to persuade the country to hire him or, in the case of Mitt Romney, why the president should be fired and he should be hired.

If you have been thinking of the election in these terms, please stop.

This election is, in its simplest form, a relationship. You see, when a company hires a candidate for a specific job, it’s typically hiring that candidate for his skills, experience and knowledge. As with a real relationship, you aren’t just committing to one person. Instead, you are tying yourself to a slew of appointees, nominees and Cabinet members (the in-laws in this case).

More specifically, the next president of the United States will likely have the chance to nominate one, two or as many as four people into the highest court in the land. The upcoming vacancies are due to the advanced ages of Antonin Scalia, 76; Anthony M. Kennedy, 76; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 79; and Stephen G. Bryer, 74. Additionally, Justice Ginsburg has battled pancreatic cancer in the past, and many speculate that she will step down in the near future.

Whether America gives the metaphorical rose to Obama or Romney on Election Day, the choice will impact the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court for an entire generation. This matters now more than ever, as the court has recently been a major legislative force in the country by upholding the president’s signature health care law and opening the campaign finance floodgates with the Citizens United case.

These two issues are just examples of how the reach of the court spans far and wide across the country as well as into the future.

Moving forward, analysts of the court and the legal realm in general expect a large number of hot-button issues to reach the high court, not only in the current term but over the next several years. To put this in perspective, the effects of your vote Nov. 6 will not only be felt for the next four years, but for decades.

The 1973 case of Roe v. Wade is quite possibly the most famous of all time because it made abortion legal in this country, initiating a new world order when it came to reproductive rights. Ever since that time, conservatives and anti-choice activists have sought to undo the landmark decision but have been unable to do so under the various ideological makeups of the court.

A Mitt Romney presidency could bring the exit of a liberal justice in Ginsburg and the entry of another conservative judge that would clinch the number of votes required to overturn the law should a relevant legal case enter the court’s consideration.

On the other hand, another Obama term could see the addition of a liberal replacement for Ginsburg and the addition of other progressives should more justices exit. This could result in a possible reversal of the Citizens United decision that allowed for unlimited independent political contributions or many issues progressives would like to push into being the law of the land.

Although I am not going to attempt to push you in one direction or the other, I do ask that you (again, metaphorically) go home with each candidate for the weekend. Take a look at who you might be committing the country to by voting for each one.

If you are undecided, independent or just confused, you are likely not going to unanimously agree with either candidate’s ideology and should consider something a little more long term. Whomever you commit to in 2012 may shape the status on landmark cases from the past or others that may not even exist yet. That is why it is important to take time to fully understand where each candidate stands on the issues.

Just remember that although you may be smitten with one candidate, he may bring a motley crew of undesirable justices who are the judicial equivalent of a rude mother-in-law, a pesky stepchild or, in some cases, a vicious pet.

Whether you realize it or give it no attention, all of those things can ruin a seemingly perfect “relationship.”

T he yellow, silicone gel bracelets we sported in junior high represented just how much an impact Livestrong had and just

how far-reaching Livestrong was. The Livestrong brand, otherwise known as the Lance Armstrong Foundation, found a way to touch nearly every American life and, arguably, every person who has been afflicted by cancer or will be.

The organization used its astounding number of resourc-es and supporters to confront almost every challenge posed by cancer (which currently holds the No. 2 spot for lead-ing causes of death in the U.S.): stigmas, quality of life, cancer research, emotional support, financial support and more.

But when years of doping accusations against Lance Armstrong were confirmed by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, it dragged the name of his repu-table foundation in the mud. It was in a 164-page report, published by the USADA, that the full extent of his doping was exposed. The laundry list includes testosterone, erythro-poietin, transfused blood, corti-costeroids and more.

On Monday, Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour-de-France titles and banned by the International Cycling Union, and the long-time cycling leg-end’s fraudulence enraged fans. But the most afflicting con-sequence of Armstrong’s fall from the graces of his sup-porters will be how Livestrong donors react.

Many donors are demanding their money back, having been under false pretense about Armstrong’s character when they donated. The Lance Arm-strong Foundation will unravel quickly if the people who have been backing it up pull out of it because of its association to the fraudulent king.

Armstrong no longer deserves to be the hero behind the cause for cancer, but the foundation he gave birth to is still noble — without Arm-strong, the organization’s work can still go on. Livestrong sup-porters should not associate Armstrong’s image with what the foundation represents and does for cancer research — and, actually, Lance doesn’t want the association either.

Last week, Armstrong stepped down as chair of the Livestrong charity: “This organization, its mission and its supporters are incredibly dear to my heart,” he said in a statement. “Today therefore, to spare the foundation any negative effects as a result of controversy surrounding my cycling career, I will conclude my chairmanship.”

Armstrong was a celebrity heading the charity, but he was by no means in the middle of all the action and interplay that made Livestrong what it is — it’s the Livestrong donors and supporters who make it what it is. His downfall hurt the cycling community and his fan base directly, but the ball he got rolling on cancer research and awareness is still rolling on without him. He is divorced from its good work, and the good the foundation does can continue.

Home workouts stir up results without the gymBY SAHER KHANSTAFF WRITER

Forty minutes of intense car-dio conditioning and ab work sounds like a typical day at the gym. On the contrary, this same workout can be done directly in the comfort of one’s living room.

In today’s world, with technolo-gy providing people ways to basi-cally do anything from home, it also offers people an effective means of working out at home.

“My roommate and I were looking for something to do when we didn’t feel like walking to the ARC and found a workout called Insanity ,” said Adriana Zalloni , junior in LAS.

Zalloni explained that Insanity is a home workout series com-posed of a collection of DVDs. It covers a two-month period and each DVD has a different work-out routine to condition the entire body. Though the workouts com-pleted throughout a given week are the same, the order in which they are done changes from week to week. There is also a week of recovery when the exercises are less intense.

“Insanity has gotten me to do more workouts than I ever have. Some people want to go for a run or do the elliptical, but for me, I never want to do that,” Zalloni said. “I’m doing cardio, stretch-ing, strengthening my muscles, I’m becoming more fl exible. It encompasses everything in such a short period of time and there’s no excuse not to do it.”

The entire series can be pur-chased on Amazon for about $145 . The DVD shows an instruc-tor on screen and is like taking a fi tness class at home, Zalloni add-ed. She and her roommate love the intensity of the workout. For those who speculate the effec-tiveness of unconventional reg-iments like at-home exercises, Zalloni insists that participants will see results.

“There is a ‘fi t test’ you do every two weeks. You can track your progress by how much you improve. The fi rst time my room-

mate and I were awful; we could barely get through anything, but the second time we took the ‘fi t test,’ we noticed our scores were higher and we were less out of breath.”

For years, people have been doing activities such as yoga and pilates from the comfort of their homes. But with the rise of DVD programs like Insanity or P90x , and video game exercise pro-gram such as Just Dance and Wii Fit , increasing numbers of people are turning to at-home workouts rather than going to the gym.

“I used to be really into run-ning but I hurt my knee so I couldn’t run long distances any-more,” said Kadambari Jain , junior in LAS. “I was trying to fi nd some other way to stay in shape and since my hometown is really small and we don’t have gym, my friends and I saw a com-mercial for Insanity and decided to do it.”

Jain said that after getting into Insanity, she enjoyed it so much that she got involved with a larg-er company Beach Body , which distributes fi tness packages like Insanity and P90x. “I really got into the company Beach Body, and they have a ton of different home fi tness packages. I got a coach online through Beach Body and she got me into a workout called Turbo Fire . I like it even more than Insanity,” Jain said.

Turbo Fire is a mix between dance and kickboxing. A similar class is offered as a group fi tness class at the ARC as well, called Turbo Kick .

“I like at-home workouts because you can do them on your own time. At at the gym I was getting bored and I stopped seeing improvement,” Jain said. “I also feel like it is hard to try and do stuff with so many people around and it’s like they’re judg-ing you, almost.”

Jain said she really likes the fl exibility and variety of home workouts; they keep her atten-tion and prevent her from get-ting bored.

Steven Petruzzello , an associ-ate professor in kinesiology and community health, specializes in the psychology of exercise and exercise science. His research focuses on how people feel while exercising.

“There has been a lot of research examining how exer-cise affects anxiety and depres-sion, but it can do a lot more. Studying how people feel while and after exercising can allow us to design exercise programs that people can stick with without getting bored,” Petruzzello said.

He added it is no surprise that the at-home workout trend has increased in popularity because people are always looking for something different.

“It is not about what the work-out is, because workouts like P90x and Insanity are not for everyone,” Petruzzello said. “As long as people are doing some-thing they enjoy and it is giving people results they are looking for, then people should go ahead and stick with whatever work-out regiment they are doing until they fi nd something different.”

Generally during workouts people feel horrible, but after-wards they feel a sense of accom-plishment and triumph, Petruz-zello added.

Exercise should not be a pun-ishment completed in a gym; it should be something to enjoy, using whatever methods are the most convenient.

“Whatever people can do to get out and move is a good thing. Whether that’s going to a gym or working out at home, moving is the key thing, because certainly as a society — and really becom-ing a worldwide epidemic — peo-ple don’t move enough,” Petruz-zello said.

All forms of exercise are effec-tive in their own way as long as individuals enjoy what they do, and are seeing some type of progress.

iPad Mini is smaller, lighter than full modelBY MICHAEL LIEDTKE AND PETER SVENSSONTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Apple Inc.’s pencil-thin, smaller iPad will cost much more than its com-petitors, signaling the company isn’t going to get into a mini-tablet price war.

The company debuted the iPad Mini Tuesday, with a screen two-thirds smaller than the full model and half the weight. Customers can begin ordering the new model on Friday. In a surprise, Apple also revamped its fl agship, full-sized iPad just six months after the launch of the latest model.

Apple’s late founder Steve Jobs once ridiculed a small tablet from a competitor as a “tweener” that was too big and too small to compete with either smartphones or tablets. Now Apple’s own Mini enters a growing small-tablet market dominated by Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle Fire.

Apple is charging $329 and up for the Mini — a price that fi ts into the Apple product lineup between the latest iPod Touch ($299) and the iPad 2 ($399). Company watchers had been expect-ing Apple to price the iPad Mini at $250 to $300 to compete with the Kindle Fire, which starts at $159. Barnes & Noble Inc.’s Nook HD and Google Inc.’s Nexus 7 both start at $199.

“Apple had an opportunity to step on the throat of Amazon and Google yet decided to rely on its brand and focus on margin,” said Bill Kreher, an analyst with brokerage Edward Jones.

Apple has sold more than 100 million iPads since April 2010. Analysts expect Apple to sell 5 million to 10 million iPad Minis before the year is out.

Apple shares fell $20.67, or 3.3 percent, to $613.36 when the price was announced. Shares of Barnes & Noble Inc. jumped 88 cents, or 6.1 percent, to $15.32. Shares of Amazon.com Inc. rose 53 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $234.31.

Apple starts taking orders for the new model on Friday, said marketing chief Phil Schiller in San Jose. Wi-Fi-only models will ship on Nov. 2. Later, the company will add models capable of accessing “LTE” wireless data networks.

Espresso Royale for seven years now, and he is also an alumnus of the University. He keeps the ends of his mustache curled symmetrically with pomade, a waxy substance that holds it in place nicely.

“Nowadays, (the mustache in society) is defi -nitely a thing for fashion,” Torres said. “Person-ally, it’s about just going back to that old idea of taking care of yourself, making sure you look good, presentable.”

A mustache is a transformer robot — there is more to it than what meets the eye. There are people who go to great lengths to keep their fuzzy facial formations intact, and they all have their own reasons for doing so. If you are skeptical about the subject of mustaches, keep doing your research, because you never know — it could grow on you.

Mighty, manly mustaches celebrated by contests, clubs

you’re looking for the key to happiness, it’s right under your nose. I mean, literally under your nose. It’s the famed, sometimes tamed, highly acclaimed, mighty mustache.

This extraordinary piece of facial art has been around since the dawn of man. It has occupied upper lips of males (and occasion-ally others) everywhere, providing them with a sense of identity, sta-tus and all-encompassing manli-ness. The mustache is not only an emblem of the various historical fi gures of our time; it has evolved to play a larger role today, serving as a fresh, avant-garde approach to facial hair.

This upper lip apparatus is the focus of several social groups, many of them represented online in niche websites like the Handle-bar Club , the Beard Community and ’Stachist, a mustache blog .

One of such organizations is the American Mustache Institute (AMI). The AMI is the fi ercely patriotic, self-proclaimed interna-tional “leading facial hair advo-cacy organization and think tank ... promoting the growth, care, and culture of the lower nose for-est,” according to their website. It

serves to maintain the integrity and prestige that comes with own-ing a legendary facial adornment.

“I think it symbolizes a very singular vision of power, strength and intellect that our clean-shav-en brethren cannot understand nor relate to in any way,” said Aaron Perlut, chairman of the AMI .

Perlut, who identifi es him-self as a doctor, is extremely invested in this cause.

“We’re freedom fi ghters,” he added with a voice full of experience and satirical wisdom. “We’re civil liber-tarians, and we’re fi ghting discrimi-nation against peo-ple of mustached American descent.”

Perlut is quite the expert on the almighty ’stache. He himself sports what appears to be something of a qua-si-horseshoe style mustache. In other words, it resembles an upside down letter “u” that doesn’t quite extend to the chin. A myriad of mustache styles exist in society. There’s the aforementioned horseshoe (think Hulk Hogan ) and the Fu Manchu (the same concept, but with length below the chin and a bit more streamlined). In addition, there’s the toothbrush, made famous by

Charlie Chaplin ; the Chevron, donned by fathers everywhere; the walrus, as modeled by Myth-busters’ Jamie Hyneman ; and of course, the quintessential handle-bar mustache.

Ted Sedman , previous president of the 65-year-old Handlebar Club , explained in a YouTube video that a handlebar mustache is “a hir-

sute appendage of the upper lip, with graspable extremi-ties.” For those who don’t speak British English, it is a hairy facial attachment which can be taken hold of at both ends.

So why is this strategically placed tuft of hair such a signifi cant part of society? It’s all about the symbolism.

“I think it repre-sents the person-ality of the person that has it,” said Hunter Schlemer , sophomore in FAA

and wearer of what appears to be a trimmed-down Chevron-style mus-tache. “It just shows the type of person and their characteristics — where they’re from, how they style it ... even if they’re from a foreign country, and it’s kind of just a fash-ion statement.”

Everyone has a right to their own mustache. And in the World

Beard and Moustache Champion-ships , varying mustache forms are welcomed and even celebrated. At the international contest, mustach-es are meticulously judged under a number of categories including the Musketeer, Hungarian Mous-tache, Natural Goatee and Free-style Moustache . Every two years, this worldwide bushy battle takes place in a different chosen city. The United States is having their third annual national competi-tion just a few weeks from now on November 11 .

Like snowfl akes, each mustache is unique in its own way. Each has its personal history, and every set of whiskers is symbolic to the wearer himself.

“When my girlfriend and I found out we were having a baby, I decid-ed that I wasn’t going to shave for the whole nine months,” said John-ny Torres , a second-year Parkland College student studying autobody collision repair. He has maintained a neatly-styled handlebar mustache for more than two years.

“My beard got bigger and my mustache got longer, and it just kind of became its own thing,” he said.

Meningitis outbreak won’t affect UI students, doctors sayBY KARYNA RODRIQUEZCONTRIBUTING WRITER

The recent fungal meningitis outbreak has reached a total of 23 deaths in the United States to date. Students at the University, however, need not worry about the fatal form of this infection.

The outbreak, while not con-tagious, has spread to 16 states through a contaminated steroid that was injected primarily into spinal areas in addition to periph-eral joint spaces, such as the knee, shoulder or ankle.

“The students at the Univer-sity of Illinois have no reason to be worried about the fungal meningitis because none of them

have gotten these shots. I’m 100 percent certain of that,” said Dr. Robert D. Palinkas, director of the McKinley Health Center.

While this deadly form of men-ingitis may not affect students, according to associate professor Dr. Karin Rosenblatt, there are other types that are more com-mon on college campuses.

“(Meningitis is) something that happens a lot to college students and people on military bases, and kind of a little bit younger peo-ple that are in group settings,” Rosenblatt said.

Bacterial meningitis is one strain that is linked to several pathogens but is most commonly

caused by the bacteria Neisse-ria meningitidis in young people. Bacterial meningitis can emerge on any college campus on an irregular basis, Palinkas said.

“It can pass from one person to the other, and it needs to be diagnosed and treated early to have a good outcome,” Palinkas said. “And if that doesn’t happen, the outcome can even be death or even disfi gurement, such as dis-abilities (like) deafness or loss of limb.”

Palinkas said the most impor-tant way students can avoid con-tracting bacterial meningitis is by getting vaccinated. They should also make sure not to

share personal items with other students.

The bacteria can pass when people kiss or share a cigarette or bottle of beer, which is how it moves in the population, Pal-inkas said.

“That sort of explains to some extent how (the bacteria) seems to like to bother campuses where people live in shared facilities,” he said. “They might share a glass in the bathroom or some-thing like that where the bacteria can easily move from one mouth to another mouth.”

Students who have not been vaccinated can make an appoint-ment at McKinley for a small fee

that most insurance companies can cover.

Viral meningitis is another strain students should be aware of. This is most commonly caused by enteroviruses, which can be spread from person to person through fecal contamination or respiratory secretions. There-fore, students should make sure to wash their hands after using the bathroom and avoid shar-ing personal items to decrease chances of contracting both strains.

Unlike bacterial meningitis, the viral kind is not very severe and can therefore be cured with little to no medication.

“For the public, the meningitis term can be kind of scary. ... Peo-ple naturally think of the one that seems to be relevant to them, so on college campuses, they always think of the bacterial form,” Pal-inkas said. “But the viral form can occur on a college campus too. It’s just not as scary as the bacterial version.”

Students who display symp-toms of meningitis, such as a combination of severe head-aches and a high fever, should visit McKinley Health Center or another health care facility.

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illi-nois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Student-athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.

W ith Sunday being the fi nal home game of the season, Shayla Mutz was just happy to be out

there with her teammates.The forward, though, made her

senior day experience much more memorable than that. While senior forward Niki Read recorded a goal, and each of the seniors played well, Mutz stole the show early, tallying two scores in the fi rst half to lead the Illini to a 4-1 victory over Nebraska.

Going into the game knowing it would be the fi nal regular sea-son home game of her career, Mutz thought of the whole experience as bittersweet.

“I guess I was sad. It’s been an awesome experience the past four years, so it was sad to see it come to

an end,” she said. “But it was a real-ly cool experience. Our team did an awesome job of making it a really special weekend for each and every one of the seniors, so we were really thankful for that.”

Mutz’s fi rst goal came after a Nebraska turnover in the 18-yard box . The senior then knocked the ball off of the right post and into the back of the net. The second goal was scored on a header after a fl ip throw-in from freshman forward Nicole Breece.

“It’s really great because both (junior forward Megan Pawloski) and Breece have been very consistent with (the fl ip throw-ins),” Mutz said. “So you trust that as long as you’re doing your job, they’re going to fi nd you and they’re going to get you the ball, which usually works for us.”

She added that, while it is always nice to score a goal, it was even more special to do it on senior day. She called it a team effort, saying her teammates did a great job of set-ting her up for both chances that she converted.

What may be most impressive

about this performance is that Mutz recorded it after returning from nagging injuries that have slowed her down the past few weeks. Head coach Janet Rayfi eld took her out of the game Sunday after 37 minutes to preserve her health for the fi nal road game against Michigan and, more importantly, the Big Ten Tourna-ment, which begins next Wednesday.

“Her inability to play the last three weeks, I think she really showed the passion and the competitive spirit that sort of has been locked up and that she hasn’t been able to release,” Rayfi eld said. “I think we certainly saw that pent up energy on Sunday.”

Rayfi eld said Mutz had been itch-ing to get onto the fi eld, especially with the Illini’s lack of success in the games before the win against Nebras-ka and that her performance, compet-itiveness and energy after returning inspired her team.

“I told her it was really great to have her back on the fi eld and that we had limited her minutes, which meant that she has opportunities to inspire us the same way on Sunday for the rest of the season,” Rayfi eld said.

Mutz said she knew that the substi-tution was for the best with postsea-son play right around the corner, but the competitor in her felt differently.

“I don’t know if I’m allowed to say that,” Mutz joked when asked if she was upset about being substituted.

The fantasy football regu-lar season is halfway over, which means owners are

fi nding themselves dealing with both bye weeks and inju-ries. It’s a crucial time for roster tweaks.

It’s also a time when many owners give up on their fan-tasy team because they are either too invested in their favorite NFL team, too dis-couraged by their favorite

NFL team, simply bad fantasy owners or any of 100 other reasons, 90 of which involve binge drinking. These owners play into this equation as well.

The waiver wire, if the right players are out there, can help boost your team for the second half.

BY ELIOT SILLSTAFF WRITER

After its 10th loss of the season on Sunday, the Illinois volleyball team already has more defeats than in any of head coach Kevin Ham-bly’s previous three seasons. With this, a new phrase has surfaced in postgame and practice conversations that is relatively unfamiliar to Hambly’s program: “Make the tournament.”

In previous years, an Illinois NCAA tourna-ment bid was assumed — hosting a regional was a more pertinent idea. But with 10 wins, 10 losses and 10 games remaining on the sched-ule, Illinois must adjust its focus to the more immediate task of making the tournament, rather than long-term goals such as match-ing last year’s national championship team.

“(Making the tournament) is not our goal, but it’s the reality,” Hambly said. “We have greater goals than that, but in order to get the goals we want, we’ve gotta make the tourna-ment, and it’s different, but my approach is the same. ... It doesn’t change that much, just the vernacular that’s being passed around and what’s being said maybe changes.”

What’s being said around Huff Hall these days is “one day at a time.” The sentiment seems obvious, but it’s harder to adopt on a team playing in the chronological shadow of one that made national runner-up.

“I feel like a big struggle we had, at the beginning especially, was kind of protecting what last year was, which is something we got hung up on,” junior libero Jennifer Bel-tran said. “And we really shouldn’t have. It’s something that we should have dropped a long time ago.”

What at fi rst appeared to be a slow start has manifested itself as inconsistencies. Hambly said while the team has improved its skill lev-el, it has yet to become suffi ciently consistent.

“We can play at a higher level than we did at the beginning of the year,” he said, “but we haven’t been able to play at a higher level for the amount of time we need to, to win a bunch of matches in the Big Ten.”

Of the 10 games left on the schedule, Ham-bly said the team needs to win six to make the tournament, though obviously it would like to win more than that.

“I think everyone still believes in the talent, it’s just can we get it together,” Hambly said.

Since the beginning of the season, Illinois

has been trying to fi nd its team identity. With freshman Alexis Viliunas replacing senior setter Annie Luhrsen, the Illini trotted out underclassmen in six of their seven starting slots. Lacking consistency in their play and in their personnel, the Illini have had trouble nailing down their identity as a team.

In that quest, they lost track of themselves as individuals, something they’re looking to remedy.

“I feel like a lot of times we kind of forget about ourselves in a way,” Beltran said. “I don’t know if this is gonna make sense, but some-times our focus has to be on ourselves, at some point, individually. ... I feel like the hardest part is fi guring out what you need individu-ally, and I think that’s something that some of us have struggled with and are still trying

Indiana game has Kansas City fl avor to itScheelhaase has history with Hoosiers coach, QBBY SEAN HAMMONDSTAFF WRITER

As a high school quarterback at Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo., Nathan Scheelhaase was heavi-ly recruited by four top-level football programs: Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma.

The coach then in charge of recruit-ing the Kansas City area for Oklaho-ma was Sooners’ offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson.

Wilson was unable to convince Scheelhaase to play for the Sooners, but it wouldn’t be the last time the two would see each other. As Illinois prepares for its Homecoming game against Indiana on Saturday, Scheel-haase is scheming to fi gure out how to beat an improved Hoosiers squad under their second-year head coach Kevin Wilson.

Scheelhaase said he had a good rela-tionship with Wilson when he was in high school. Coincidentally, one of the Sooners defensive coaches at the time — and current Hoosiers cornerbacks’ coach — was Rockhurst graduate Bran-don Shelby.

When Scheelhaase won the Thom-as A. Simone Award as the best high school football player in the Kansas City area in 2007, he became the fi rst Rockhurst player to win the award since 1999 when Shelby did it. Shelby played defensive back at Oklahoma in the early 2000s, helping the Sooners reach two BCS championship games.

“He was a (graduate assistant) at OU when I went to camps there,” Scheel-haase said. “It’s always a little more exciting to play people you know. At least, I’m a little more excited about it than usual, that’s for sure.”

Sticking with the Kansas City theme, when Indiana starting quarterback Tre Roberson went down for the season with a broken left leg, Kansas City-area native Cameron Coffman stepped in to fi ll Roberson’s role.

Scheelhaase said anyone following high school football in Kansas City would know the Coffman name. Coff-man’s brothers, Carson and Chase, both played Division I football in the Midwest.

Carson played quarterback at Kan-sas State while Chase — also a Simone Award winner — played tight end at Missouri, helping the Tigers to 37 wins

Editor’s note: Big 10 of the Big Ten is a collection of tidbits from around the conference. This weekly feature provides a recap from the previous slate of games and also serves as a preview to the upcoming football weekend.

Marquee matchupsWhile the Big Ten’s play has

been lackluster this season in comparison to the other BCS conferences , this week promises some exciting matchups within the conference: Ohio State takes on Penn State in the battle of the ineligibles, while Michigan and Nebraska headline a Leg-ends Division showdown. Even the Leaders Division’s bottom feeders could be an enticing watch as the Hoosiers travel to Champaign for a Homecoming date with the Illini.

Back in the rankingsAfter an early-season stum-

ble, the Michigan Wolverines and Wisconsin Badgers are back in the rankings at No. 22 and 25, respectively . No Big Ten teams were ranked in the BCS Top 25 last week.

Leading the nationMichigan’s Denard Robinson

and Ohio State’s Braxton Miller were announced this week as fi nal-ists for the Davey O’Brien Award , which is given to the nation’s top quarterback. Robinson and Miller are among fi ve fi nalists. The Big Ten’s most recent winner was Troy Smith in 2006 .

Top ‘backersThe nation’s 12 best lineback-

ers were named Butkus Award fi nalists this week, and the Big Ten leads all conferences with four nominees: Illinois’ Jona-thon Brown , Michigan State’s

Max Bullough and Penn State’s Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti . The Big Ten’s most recent Butkus Award winner was Ohio State’s James Lauri-naitis in 2007 .

OSU hangs onOhio State took down Pur-

due this weekend 29-22 and remained the Big Ten’s lone undefeated team. But the win didn’t come without a cost, as Miller’s status is up in the air this week after leaving the game with a head injury.

Top offensive performanceNebraska’s Taylor Martinez

produced 407 yards of offense and four scores as the Corn-huskers came from behind to defeat Northwestern 29-28 on the road.

Top defensive performanceOn the defensive side of the

ball, Jordan Hill logged nine tackles and one sack as Penn State downed Iowa 38-14 . The nine tackles were a season high for the senior defensive tackle.

Wisconsin and the restWisconsin (3-1 Big Ten) con-

tinued to separate itself in the Leaders Division race behind Penn State and Ohio State , both

which are ineligible for postsea-son play. Indiana, Illinois and Purdue all are winless with 0-3 conference records.

Legends DivisionThe Legends Division could

come down to Michigan and Nebraska, and this week’s matchup between those teams is crucial in the division race. Michigan is 3-0 in Big Ten play, while Nebraska and Iowa trail behind with a 2-1 record.

Coach of the Year?Penn State’s Bill O’Brien is

making a case for NCAA Coach of the Year award this sea-

son. Despite the offseason tur-moil surrounding the program, including losing several of his top players to transfers, O’Brien has the Nittany Lions second in the Leaders Division race at 5-2 .

Record chasingAlthough Wisconsin’s top

rusher started off the season quietly, Montee Ball is making some noise in the record books as he approaches the NCAA record for career rushing touch-downs. Ball is four scores short of Miami’s (OH) Travis Pren-tice’s record of 78 touchdowns .

over four years and winning the John Mackey Award as the best tight end in the nation his senior season in 2008. Chase is currently on the Atlanta Fal-cons practice squad.

“I’m sure if you asked Illi-nois DBs from three or four years ago, they’d know exactly who I’m talking about,” Scheel-haase said.

Cameron Coffman had mul-tiple Division I offers to play quarterback but chose to attend Arizona Western Col-lege, a small school in Yuma, Ariz. He led the Matadors to 11 wins, the most in school histo-ry, culminating in a loss in the NJCAA national championship.

Scheelhaase said his high school coach, Tony Severino, thought Coffman was one of the best quarterbacks Rock-hurst had played in recent years.

Scheelhaase remembers Coffman throwing the ball as many as 40 or 50 times per game while he was at Ray-more-Peculiar Senior High School.

“He’s a great quarterback, and he kind of just got squeezed out,” Scheelhaase said. “He’s a kid that’s got a heck of a lot of talent and knows the game real well. (Indiana) got a steal get-ting him.”

Coffman has thrown for 1,320 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions in six games with the Hoosiers since Roberson’s season-end-ing injury.

Indiana is riding a fi ve-game losing streak but has lost four of those games by a combined 10 points.

When Illinois and Indiana take the fi eld Saturday, all eyes will be on the two Kansas City-area quarterbacks.

Scheelhaase’s familiari-ty with Coffman won’t help prepare him for the Indiana defense. But with a bye week, Scheelhaase has had extra time to prepare for the Hoosiers and watch them in the fi lm room.

“I remember watching them last year , and they just didn’t have experience,” he said. “Now all of the sudden those guys do have the experience. They’re a whole lot more com-fortable with what they’re doing.”

exploit your fellow owners.The moment you see a league

member submit a lineup with a player on his bye week, you know this owner is vulnera-ble. Attack. Bombard him with trade offers. Annoy him with one-sided propositions until he fi nally submits. Play on the fact

that he is not knowledgeable on the 2012 football landscape. Maybe he doesn’t know that Jimmy Graham cannot stay healthy. Perhaps he is unaware that a man named Alfred Mor-ris is actually a good running back. Take advantage.

Be smart, be persistent, be aggressive and be with-out a moral code. Ethics have no place in fantasy football, anyway.

But if there is no one to trade-abuse and your last option is the waiver wire , options are still available to you. Here are three players that are worth a look.

Rashad Jennings (running back, Jaguars, 13.7 percent owned in ESPN leagues) —Maurice Jones-Drew is hurt and could be out for an extend-ed period of time. He was the entire Jaguars offense when

he played. Quite literally, the entire offense. They can’t pass, so what other option do they have? Jennings now fi lls in for Jones-Drew and, presum-ably, jumps right into the same game plan. That is, unless Jack-sonville decides Chad Henne throwing to Cecil Shorts III is a better option.

Dustin Keller (tight end, Jets, 16.8 percent owned) — Keller fi nally returned to full

health in Week Seven and exploded for seven receptions , 93 yards and a touchdown . Nobody likes the Jets and their offense is atrocious, but Keller is a favorite target of quarter-back Mark Sanchez . So, strictly in fantasy terms, Keller holds some value.

Josh Gordon (wide receiver, Browns, 36.7 percent owned) —Gordon has established himself as a big play receiver in Cleve-

land with touchdown recep-tions of 62 yards , 71 yards and 33 yards in three consecutive weeks . He’s become quarter-back Brandon Weeden’s favor-ite target, so Gordon will get plenty of targets when the Browns are down 21 points in the fourth quarter.

to fi gure out in order for everyone else to help.”

Sophomore Anna Dorn point-ed to individual focus to fuel the team’s competitive fi re.

“We need to fi gure out individu-ally what we can do to be competi-tive out on the court, not just for the betterment of the team, but just for ourselves,” she said. “If we can individually be competi-tive, then it will eventually ben-efi t the team, if that kinda makes sense.”

Illinois faces several battles in the coming weeks, with confer-ence foes, with its own inconsis-tencies and within each individ-ual. If the Illini are successful, they’ll be able to identify them-selves as not only a competitive group, but as an NCAA tourna-ment team.

BY STEVEN VAZQUEZSTAFF WRITER

Sophomores Farris Gosea and Tim Kopinski of the Illinois men’s tennis team punched their ticket to New York on Monday after winning the ITA Midwest Regional doubles title . The pair earned an automatic bid to the ITA National Indoor Intercolle-giate Championships from Nov. 8-11 in Flushing, N.Y.

Coming into the tournament seeded eighth, Gosea and Kopin-ski won a total of six matches on their way to the regional dou-

bles title, taking out doubles teams from Michigan State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Western Michigan. In the championship match, the duo won against No. 5-seeded Notre Dame Spencer Talmadge and Greg Andrews 8-5 .

Illinois head Coach Brad Dancer said the Illini pair is doing something very simple: They have set a standard for themselves to play with high energy and intensity in dou-bles competition. When they were not executing, this stan-dard helped them prevail, Danc-er said.

“I think Kopinski and Gos-ea set the tone for our entire team to play, not just one team,” Dancer said. “Their energy is what the standard should be for

the entire Illini tennis in dou-bles. They set the tone for every single match they played.”

Kopinski and Gosea both pointed to their energy as being the main reason they were able to win the championship match. Gosea said both teams execut-ed poorly, but they were able to overwhelm Talmadge and Andrews with their noise levels. He added that they were able to advance by playing solid dou-bles tennis.

“I feel like we dominated most of our other matches,” Gosea said. “We served well, we moved well off of our partner’s serve. Because we were serving so well, we got a few easy vol-leys and easy put-aways.”

Kopinski made it to the semi-fi nals in the singles tournament,

but lost to Michigan’s Vlad Ste-fan 6-2, 6-3. He said he made too many errors in the match and also did not serve well.

Freshman Jared Hiltzik also made it to the semifi nals in singles but lost to Ohio State’s Peter Kobelt in a heated match 7-6, 6-4 (2). Kobelt came into the tournament as the No. 2 seed. Hiltzik was seeded at No. 13, which he was surprised by. He said ultimately seeding does not matter, though.

“I saw a No. 4 seed go down early and that just shows that anything can happen on any giv-en day,” Hiltzik said.

Dancer said given the level of Kopinski’s and Hiltzik’s perfor-mances throughout the tourna-ment, they were both fortunate to reach the semifi nals.

“I don’t think either one of them played above 75 or 80 per-cent of what they could play,” Dancer said. “I think Tim’s offen-sive and defensive play were both suspect throughout the weekend and I think Jared’s offensive play was very, very suspect.”

Dancer gave credit to Kopin-ski for holding it together and advancing as far as he did even though he was not executing as much as he would like. He point-ed to Hiltzik’s serve as being the reason he was able to advance.

The Illini will be heading to College Station, Texas, this weekend to compete with LSU, Texas A&M and Oklahoma in the Team Championships.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Adam Dunn knows one of the big reasons people are talking about his 2012 season is because of what happened the year before.

To fully appreciate his .204 batting average, consider that it was more than 40 points high-er than the previous year. His 41 homers not only came close to denying Tigers’ star Miguel Cabrera a triple crown but amounted to 30 more homers than he hit in 2011.

And he drove in 96 runs, more than twice his total a year earlier.

None of that was lost on the Chicago White Sox designat-ed hitter who on Tuesday was named by The Sporting News the American League comeback player of the year.

“It’s an award I hope I nev-er win again,” said Dunn, who has been around long enough to know that the only way a play-er wins that award is either

because he is coming back from an injury or a miserable season. “I’m very appreciative of this award, but I really wish I never would have won it.”

In a conference call with reporters, Dunn didn’t want to talk about 2011, when he had one of the worst statistical seasons

in major league history, bat-ting just .159 with a White Sox record 177 strikeouts. Instead, he reminded reporters that the player they saw in 2012 was a lot more like the player he once was.

“It’s not something I haven’t done in eight, nine years,” said

Dunn, who before coming to the White Sox put together a string of seven straight seasons with at least 38 homers.

Dunn said he also hasn’t got-ten over the disappointment of the Sox coming up short after leading the American League Central before falling behind

the Detroit Tigers at the very end of the season. And it hasn’t helped that the Tigers are now in the World Series.

“I was like, ‘It’s going to end up being Detroit because that’s like pouring salt into the wounds,” he said. “And sure enough ....”

Bears prepare for difficult schedule, work on offenseTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Eventually, the Chicago Bears defense will need help.

The Bears hoped the running game and a diversified pass-ing attack would come around to complement quarterback Jay Cutler’s throws to Brandon Mar-shall on offense, but after four straight wins and a 13-7 victory over the Detroit Lions on Mon-day night, they know they’ve got a ways to go to assist their ball-hawking defense.

“We’re still trying to find our way on offense,” Marshall said. “There’s some chemistry missing there, but you’ve got to expect that in a first-year offense.”

In a 41-3 win Oct. 7 over Jack-sonville, the offense struggled through a poor first half.

The offense started slow in a win over Dallas, and against Detroit it started fast but bogged down and needed the defense to

force four turnovers to preserve the win. With a difficult sched-ule coming up, the Bears know they’ll need both aspects of the team functioning well.

“In the second quarter, we got a little stagnant but we adjusted well,” Cutler said.

Cutler took a shot from Detroit defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh late in the first half and left briefly, but finished the game.

He expects to play Sunday against Carolina when the Bears hope to be more productive against a defense ranked 24th overall and 20th in scoring.

The running game has shown signs of coming around after a slow start, but progress has been sporadic.

Running back Matt Forte broke off a season-long 39-yard run in the first quarter to set up the only Bears touchdown. But the Bears were held to 62 rushing yards in the second half while protecting a 10-0 and then 13-0 lead.

The 171 rushing yards looked impressive, but 39 yards came from scrambles by Cutler and backup Jason Campbell as the offensive line had trouble pro-tecting and opening consistent holes. The Bears put some of their inconsistency on Detroit’s strong defensive front.

“We knew the front four was the strength of their team so we were going to have to basically beat them up up front so that we can get the running game going and the passing game,” Forte said. “We’re starting to improve each week in the run-ning game.”

Forte appeared to have injured his arm near the end of the game but the team said he’ll be fine for the Carolina game.

“Hard fought game,” coach Lovie Smith said. “Guys will have bumps and bruises. But I don’t think anyone is hurt seri-ously where they are going to miss any time.”

Belmont joins OVC, is favorite to win divisionBY TERESA M. WALKERTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — The Bel-mont Bruins are jumping into the Ohio Valley Conference with all the finesse of a cannonball off the diving board.

The OVC always has been tough as one of only nine leagues to win at least one game in each of the past four NCAA tournaments, and Murray State pushed the league to a new level last season by being ranked most of last season. The Racers are the preseason favorite to win the OVC this season.

But Belmont is the preseason pick to win the OVC’s new Eastern Division after moving from the Atlantic Sun, where the Bruins joined only Memphis and Kansas in making the NCAA tournament five of the last seven years.

“That sounded like a great idea until it gets close to playing them, and of course we know,” Austin Peay coach Dave Loos said Tues-day at OVC media day. “We’ve played them in nonconference games. But I think overall it is a good thing. It’ll bring a lot of expo-sure to our league. It’s a win-win deal. It’s going to help Belmont, and it’s going to help our league. There’ll be some great rivalries developed, and I think attendance will pick up.”

The Bruins also have been trumpeting this move with bill-boards and commercials in an advertising campaign that had athletic directors talking as a move to copy themselves.

“It was a terrific gesture, and I think it’s genuine too that they’re glad to be in the league and the league is pretty good,” Loos said.

Belmont is the Nashville-based university that has jumped from the NAIA to Division I and now finally is in the league based a few miles away from the school. The OVC better suits Belmont’s fans and recruiting base hitting Ken-tucky, Ohio and Indiana.

“I think it’s fair to say if Bel-mont could’ve chosen a league right out of the bat in Division I it would’ve been the OVC,” Bel-mont coach Rick Byrd said.

The OVC not only brought in Belmont but now is a 12-member league with Southern Illinois Uni-versity Edwardsville finally a full Division I member. The OVC han-dled expansion by splitting into two divisions for conference play and for tournament seeding with the top seeds getting byes in March. It’s not a round-robin schedule some coaches might want to be more fair with only the top eight teams advancing to the league tournament.

For all of Belmont’s success and attention, it’s the Racers who find themselves the top target after an incredible season that saw Mur-ray State ranked as high as No. 7, the highest by an OVC team since 1970-71, tied the OVC record for wins with a 31-2 season while win-ning the regular season league title and conference tournament. The Racers then ran into the NCAA Tournament where they beat Colorado State.

Coach Steve Prohm also has senior Isaiah Canaan back, and

the guard is the OVC preseason player of the year. That is why league coaches and sports infor-mation directors made Murray State the overall favorite by a one-point margin (132) over Belmont (131) with 22 first-place votes.

Belmont got 21 first-place votes in the East ahead of Tennessee State (109), Tennessee Tech (87), Morehead State (77) and Eastern Kentucky (56). Jacksonville State is in the East but not eligible for the league tournament due to an NCAA APR penalty. Behind Mur-ray State in the West is Southeast Missouri (108), Austin Peay (92), SIUE (73), Eastern Illinois (49) and Tennessee Martin (38).

“You probably thought we would be picked first,” Prohm said. “Now we have to go out and prove we’re worthy of that selec-tion. It’s a lot harder to stay atop than ascend up top. That’s our bat-tle right now because we’re going to get everybody’s best shot, and we have to be ready to play.”

Prohm has his hands full with six freshmen. Only Canaan and forward Edward Daniel got heavy playing time last season, though senior forward Brandon Garrett and senior guard/forward Stacy Wilson averaged about 10 or 11 minutes a game. Senior forward Latreze Mushatt is healing from an Achilles tendon injury that may keep him out until February.

Sophomore guard Zay Jack-son currently is suspended from all team activities while he deals with two counts of first-degree assault for allegedly hitting two people with his car in a store park-ing lot. With him out, Canaan also

will have to defend more.“Having him back is great, and

he’s a tremendous kid ... (and) will go down if not the best player, one of the best players ever to play at Murray State. Any time you have an elite guard as a coach that makes you feel really good,” Prohm said.

Byrd has three starters back at Belmont including preseason All-OVC picks in guards Kerron Johnson and Ian Clark, but he doesn’t have Mick Hedgepeth or Scott Saunders inside anymore. Johnson led Belmont scoring 13.8 points per game, while Clark hit 92 3-pointers.

“I think it’s fair to say Murray State presents a bigger roadblock to going to the NCAA tournament than we’ve probably ever faced in the Atlantic Sun, at least where their program is right now,” Byrd said.

Tennessee State got three first-place votes and is the team Byrd thinks is the league favorite after winning at Murray State and los-ing to the Racers 54-52 in the tour-nament championship last season. New coach Travis Williams has four starters back from a team that went 20-13 with Robert Cov-ington, Patrick Miller and Wil Peters starting at least 32 games each.

Southeast Missouri also received two first-place votes with three starters back from a team that went 9-7 in league play. Coach Dickey Nutt has junior for-ward Tyler Stone who averaged 14.7 points and 7.3 rebounds in his first season after transferring from Missouri.

Hall of Fame catcher Fisk charged with DUI after being found in cornfieldTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW LENOX, Ill. — Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk fac-es charges of driving under the influence and other misdemean-ors after being found asleep in his pickup truck in a cornfield, police in suburban Chicago said Tuesday.

New Lenox Deputy Chief Rob-ert Pawlisz said officers found Fisk, 64, behind the wheel late Monday with an open bottle of vodka on the truck’s floor.

“He was behind the wheel unconscious,” Pawlisz said.

Fisk was taken to a hospital for treatment and released from custody after posting bail, Pawl-isz said. He has a court appear-ance scheduled for Nov. 29 in Will County. Besides the DUI charge, he faces charges of lane-use violation and illegal transportation of alcohol.

New Lenox is about 35 miles southwest of downtown Chicago.

Fisk became part of an unfor-gettable baseball moment while playing for the Boston Red Sox when he belted a 12th-inning home run that won Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. Fisk played 11 seasons with the Red Sox and 13 with the Chicago White Sox.
