Despite resources, panhandlers continue struggling to move on Editor’s Note: This is the final piece of a three-part series on panhandling within Campustown. BY ANDREW NOWAK STAFF WRITER
Teresa Webb has lived in Champaign all her life. She was married for 27 years, but it all changed when she was sent to prison after being charged for a DUI for having her keys in her ignition while intoxicated and subsequently got a divorce. Webb said being homeless is no way to live and it hurts her body. She hopes to get off the streets this month, and said it is hard, as a woman, to be outside at night. “You gotta sleep on a bench or something by your-

When rains coming down, you’re cold, and you’re scared, and then you feel somebody just come up on you.

Local police test cameras Champaign to consider impact of body cameras BY CAELI CLEARY STAFF WRITER SONNY AN THE DAILY ILLINI
Rose and Taylor has been a local African-American-owned barbershop in Champaign since 1962 and was a part of what was once known as “The Black Downtown.� Today, it remains one of the few African-American owned businesses left.
Black businesses declining BY DARRAH PERRYMAN STAFF WRITER
Contagious, hypnotic music kissed the streets of Champaign in the 1950s in what some remember as an electrifying, soul-consuming environment that lured many African-American Champaign residents out
of their homes and into the busy streets for the night. “The Black Downtown,� known today as North First Street, was a space where African-Americans unwound at a time when discriminatory practices were in place and they weren’t welcome anywhere else.
“It would light up,� said Joe Taylor, Champaign resident and former owner of Rose and Taylor Barber Shop in Champaign. “The bars would play Sam Cooke, Etta James and Billy Holiday. It was always a good time.� “The Black Downtown� featured bars, restaurants,
cleaners, hair and beauty shops, such as the Rose and Taylor Barber Shop, which opened in 1962. Taylor said he retired from the shop in 2013, but he still cuts hair for close family, friends and past clients at his home.

The Champaign Police Department is currently considering implementing the use of body cameras for police officers. The Department of Justice is funding $20 million for police departments to purchase body cameras as part of a three-year, $75 million program to allow local law enforcement agencies the necessary resources to combat any issues they may face in their communities, according to a press release. Joe Gallo, deputy chief of operations at the Champaign Police Department, said the videos from the camera would be used if there were any questions about events involving the police. However, the amount of video is a concern for the department. “The concern from the administration standpoint is, do we have the ability to handle the back-end solution?� Gallo said. “125 officers wearing body cameras — that is going to be a lot of video that is coming in on a daily basis. How do we classify that, how do we enter it in as evidence?� Gallo said states on the West Coast have tried using body cameras, but the amount of video that comes in and the work required to sift through them is too overwhelming, so they have stopped use of the cameras for now. According to the OJP Diagnostic Center report, “Police
Officer Body-Worn Cameras,� there are benefits and concerns to using body cameras. Advocates of body cameras cite benefits such as transparency, improved police and citizen behavior and rapid resolution of complaints and lawsuits against cameras police officers, the report states. Opponents of the body cameras have concerns about the privacy of officers and citizens, the officer’s health and safety because of the extra piece of equipment and financial costs — each body camera can cost between $800 and $1000. At a Champaign town hall meeting, Chief of Police Anthony Cobb also questioned the way the videos would be handled. Two and a half job positions are required to go through 40 squad car videos, and if body cameras are used, the number of people needed would rise exponentially, Cobb said. “Even if we have the money to buy the cameras, do we have the resources to take care of the baggage?� he asked. Tom Bruno, at-large Champaign City Council alderman, said he’s not opposed to the use of body cameras, but said the society will have to confront initial issues. “There have been cases where we wish there might have been a video camera to know the truth better about certain circumstances, like Ferguson, Missouri, so it (is) a compelling argument for body cameras,� Bruno said. “But the devil is in the details.�

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch met with members of Freddie Gray’s family Tuesday, part of a tour that included discussions with officials and community leaders about the 25-year-old whose death sparked rioting and looting around the city. At her first stop, the University of Baltimore, she met with members of Gray’s family; they left without commenting to the media waiting in the lobby. Lynch’s visit comes four days after Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced criminal charges against six officers involved in Gray’s arrest and transport. He died April 19 — one week after suffering a spinal injury during the arrest. The Gray case could be viewed as a key test for Lynch, the first AfricanAmerican woman to hold the attorney general’s position. In a news conference last Wednesday, Lynch denounced the “senseless acts of violence� on Baltimore streets, and the unrest consumed her first week as the nation’s top law enforcement official. Although Mosby charged the officers, the Justice Department is still conducting its own investigation into Gray’s death, as well as a

City officials requested federal help in October to curb police abuses after a multipart Baltimore Sun investigation found that the city had paid nearly $6 million since 2011 in court judgments and settlements for lawsuits alleging brutality and other misconduct. The Sun found that dozens of black residents received battered faces and broken bones during questionable arrests. In nearly all of the cases, prosecutors or judges dismissed the charges against the sus-
pects. Issues surrounding Gray’s arrest mirror those in cases highlighted in the Sun’s investigation. As soon as Gray died, Mayor Stephanie-Rawlings Blake questioned why police stopped Gray in the Gilmor Homes housing complex. He fled after he and an officer locked eyes, but Mosby said Friday that police had no probable cause to stop him. The deaths of Gray and several other men have sparked a national debate over the way police departments treat minorities. In North Charleston, South Carolina, last month,
a white officer was charged with murder after a video surfaced showing that he fired eight bullets into a black man’s back as he fled. The deaths of Eric Garner in New York and Tamir Rice in Cleveland at the hands of officers have also stoked outrage in recent months. In Missouri, the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by Officer Darren Wilson sparked months of protests. After the uprising in Ferguson, President Barack Obama dispatched then-Attorney General Eric Holder to address the tension.

University researchers create world’s fastest MRI BY LIYUAN YANG STAFF WRITER
University researchers developed a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging designed to have a faster speed than current MRIs, allowing it to visualize motions of muscles clearly without interfering with normal speaking processes. The new MRI has good spatial and temporal resolution with a speed of 100 frames per second, said Maojing Fu, graduate student at the University. Brad Sutton, associate professor in bioengineering and University alumnus, said he and his colleagues are looking into how the new MRI can function in helping aging people by examining the movements of muscles in their mouth critical for speech and swallowing. He said the machine will also help people, especially infants, who have a collapsed palate and require surgery to correct the split muscles. “By going faster, we are able to catch a couple of images on its way and you can see how the muscle is contracting and how (it) is interacting with the other muscle and how’s that affecting its tra-

PANHANDLE Kitchen and occasionally showers at the TIMES Center. Courage Connection, a women’s shelter and emergency housing organization in Champaign, is currently full, said Mary Wallace, the shelter’s director of development. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, in 2013, 63.4 percent of all sheltered homeless were male. Wallace said one of the difficulties with housing women is they often have children with them, which requires additional space. Webb said she has been working with an officer of the Champaign Police Department to help straighten out her life, she has issues with her ex-husband, and her daughter has stolen her disability money. “He’s (the officer) helped me with my daughter, and thank God for him, because that’s the only way,” Webb said. “He came and checked up on me today to make sure I was OK.” Webb said she knows a homeless couple that could change their lives, but choose not to because they have lost so much hope and don’t care anymore. Talking to other homeless people, helping them out and sharing what little she has helps Webb get by. “People think that just because you’re homeless, you don’t have a purpose,” Webb said. “Yeah you do; you’ve got a purpose. I mean God is making us be able to survive. There is a reason.” Webb is one of the many homeless individuals Tony Comtois, mentor at C-U at Home, might fi nd on his daily drive around Champaign for the organization’s street outreach

BUSINESS According to e-Black Champaign-Urbana, a platform that compiles documents of African-American history in Urbana-Champaign, the African-American population increased from 1,700 in 1940 to 3,000 in 1950. As a result, there was a need for AfricanAmerican businesses. “It was a place for African-Americans to come together ... no matter what walk of life, or level of income,” said William Jones, current owner of Rose and Taylor Barber Shop. “We still have a handful of those businesses left in Champaign, and they still remain true to their roots.”

LIGHTS company worked with ARC representatives to fulfi ll their needs by suggesting the replacement of the University industrial lighting standard. The fluorescent T8 lamps were replaced by LEDs, which would also allow for the lights to be switched on and off individually rather than all at once. “We approached (ARC representatives) with the idea of going LED,” Madden said. “LEDs were a little
jectory,” Sutton said. Aaron Johnson, assistant professor in the department of speech and hearing science, received funding from the Campus Research Board Programs and a K23 Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health to study the voices of older adults and how they can use vocal training to improve voices. Fu said people have been studying speech for a long time, but only by listening to audio recordings, instead of through visual evidence. Using the new technique, researchers can not only hear the sound but also watch it at arbitrary angles and resolutions. “I think that’s the biggest change,” Fu said, “That provides an entire new side of tool for people to understand and analyze the speech, not just hearing. So that’s just one side that will fundamentally change the field.” Typical MRIs only capture 10 frames per second, which are unable to capture the movement of muscles critical in producing sound during speech or singing, but the new MRI makes it feasible, Johnson said.
He said his goal is to be able to see how the muscles and structures in the mouth change to create a better voice. Sutton added they are still advancing the new MRI to capture 166 frames per second and three-dimensional visualization. “And what that will allow us to do is we can look at any plane we want to,” Sutton said. He said the MRI will also allow surgeons to look at how well they are performing corrective surgeries for children with collapsed palates because the operation requires them to reattach split muscles. The surgeries for children are largely based on anatomy because there is not a lot of dynamic imaging available, Sutton said. “I think that’s (what) our biggest impact will be, taking people from structure to function in these types of acquisitions,” Sutton said. The development of the new MRI technique is a collaborative work, Fu said. The framework was developed with Zhi-pei Liang, professor in electrical and computer engineering.

With Johnson, who has a 10-year working experience as a professional singer in Chicago choirs and clinical applications, they can use the new MRI to answer questions across multiple fields. Fu said the new MRI is not a market-oriented product because the fundamental driving force in doing research is to figure out the unknown and the boundaries and limits of what people cannot do.

Panhandler Michael Fottler, 47, currently rents an apartment, but rent and utilities take up all of his disability payments. He has had bone cancer for almost 17 years, and is struggling to stay alive. The type of bone cancer Fottler has, chondrosarcoma, is rare and has already taken his leg. “I’m kind of scared to go back (to Carle),” Fottler said. “Right now, I think I got it in my right hand because what happened with my right leg, the muscles pulled off the bone because of the cancer. I don’t know, I’m just afraid to go back because they (might) cut my arm off, I’d rather die with my boot on, you know what I mean?” He said watching television and not thinking about tomorrow help get him through the day. “I just don’t know what to do anymore,” Fottler said. Comtois ends up getting to know the homeless just by how much he interacts with them. The longer the conversation, the more you learn about why they’re still out on the street, he said. Comtois said they are still out on the street mainly for three reasons: They don’t know how to connect with resources available to them, they have burned bridges with certain resources or they choose not to use them. “They don’t want to be on the street, but they don’t want to submit to anybody else’s rules either,” Comtois said.
to keep the businesses running,” said Martel Miller, who grew up near “The Black Downtown” and is now a Champaign community member and activist. “I think the city didn’t work with the owners as much as they could have or do for other businesses.” Yet, as black businesses began failing, a clear division segregated what was once “The Black Downtown” from the rest of Champaign, specifically the campus community, said Miller. Miller and Terry Townsend, Champaign activist, recently wrote a letter asking the Board of Trustees not to renew Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s contract for next year, partially because of how they feel the University treats the Afri-
can-American community in Champaign. As a community activist, Miller said he is greatly affected by the stigma that is associated with crossing University Avenue and the stereotypes that follow local Champaign residents. Today, there are only four black business left in “The Black Downtown” on North First Street, according to Miller and Jones. Taylor said seeing black businesses coming and going was difficult, but he accounts luck, resilience and creativity to the success of a business. “You have to be innovative and fresh to own a black business in Champaign,” Taylor said.
“They don’t want to be on the street, but they don’t want to submit to anybody else’s rules either.”
Taylor said the peak of “The Black Downtown” came in the early to mid 1960s, as businesses became lucrative and successful. However, he said some businesses failed to adapt with the times and suffered economically. For many barbers, their clientele was predominantly black, Jones said, but after the Civil Rights Movement and the continuous efforts of the University to integrate the African-American community, some shops had to diversify their clientele if they wanted to survive financially, especially with several similar businesses in the area competing with one another. “The black businesses died out because of how difficult it was to get loans bit more expensive initially, but the energy savings will end up saving the University money.” Madden also said the new design allowed for convenient and safe installation. According to the Metalux specification sheet, Eaton, a power management company, had its Cooper Lighting department work to create the cost-efficient HBLED lights that have “precision designed optics, multiple distributions, lumen outputs and color temperatures (that) make the HBLED ideal for industrial, com-
mercial, manufacturing, gymnasium and other applications that utilize traditional HID and linear fluorescent high bays.” According to the Engineering and Science Hall of Fame, in 1962, University alumnus and professor Nick Holonyak Jr. invented the LED light that gives off a visible red light rather than an infrared light. Holonyak was awarded the 2015 Draper Prize — which honors engineers for their contribution to the field and promotes public awareness of the importance of science

perryma2@ dailyillini.com — for his work with LEDs. The Illinois Climate Action Plan, iCAP, ensures that Holonyak’s legacy will continue with the University’s commitment to spread the use of LED lights across campus and make them the primary lights used. The iCAP was sent out in 2010 with goals for the campus to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Installing LED lights is not an entirely new venture. In 2010, the University switched 550 lighting fixtures in the lobby of the Krannert Center for the

France passes surveillance law with overwhelming approval PARIS — A divisive surveillance law giving broad powers to French intelligence services in the name of countering domestic terrorist threats passed with overwhelming approval in the country’s lower house of parliament Tuesday. The bill, which has come under harsh scrutiny by critics saying it gave the government undue power and represented an invasion of privacy, received 438 votes in favor. Only 86 lawmakers cast a vote against the bill, and 42 abstained. Supporters of the bill,
which will now go to the Senate, say it represents an important step toward accounting for new forms of digital communication. Government officials have defended it as a natural update on existing surveillance laws that were conceived before the huge increase of online networking. But French and international human rights organizations have argued that the legislation poses broad threats to civil liberties and sharply curtails personal freedoms.
Migrant survivors of boat wreck saved, 40 believed dead ROME — Survivors of a boat wreck who were taken to safety in Italy told aid workers that about 40 migrants on board died while attempting to cross the Mediterranean, Save the Children said Tuesday. The charity group listened to their accounts in Catania, a port in eastern Sicily, where 194 migrants rescued at sea disembarked from a container ship. Five
bodies were also brought to shore. Spokeswoman Giovanna Di Benedetto said by phone from the port that the migrants’ boat reportedly ran into difficulties and that the death toll was feared to be much higher. “Survivors told us that dozens of migrants fell into the sea, maybe around 40. There is no confirmation of this number,” she said.
PEN awards Charlie Hebdo despite controversy amid attacks NEW YORK — If the PEN American Center’s mission is to promote free expression and lively discourse, the literary group accomplished that with its decision to honor the French magazine Charlie Hebdo at its annual Literary Gala on Tuesday night. Even before the attack on a Texas art event lampooning the Prophet Muhammad, PEN’s decision to award
Charlie Hebdo a freedom of expression citation had stirred controversy. Days before the ceremony, under tighter-than-usual security due to Sunday’s Texas attack, more than 200 members of PEN had signed a letter disassociating themselves from the decision to give the PEN/Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award to Charlie Hebdo.

In 2014, the Office of the Provost allocated $100,000 to fund the installment of 531 LED fixtures in eight campus buildings. Other campus projects which entail replacing lights with LED technology include 171 lamps at the Krannert Art Museum, Talbot Lab, Roger Adams Lab, the Vivarium, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and many more. iCAP’s future major proj-
ect is the construction of a 20.8 acre Solar Farm along the south side of Windsor Road between First Street and the railroad tracks. On her blog, Chancellor Phyllis Wise wrote, “The LED has changed the world in which we live. From the mundane of better traffic lights to revolutionizing communications technology, the little red light that Nick turned on 50 years ago is still guiding us forward and opening new avenues of exploration and learning.”

Enlightening approach to budget cuts
O
ur University is a large force in the landscape of colleges across the nation. Because of our large reaching and innovative technology, we have established ourselves as a campus trailblazer in the field of energy-saving and eco-friendly policies. Through various points this year, be it the Greeks Go Green initiative or the revolutionary Electrical and Computer Engineering Building, the University has been finding inventive ways to conserve energy and help the planet. It cannot be denied that our campus still has progress to make, and one of those areas of progress comes with an added benefit, as well. Next year, the University will be saving around $70,000 by switching to more energy-efficient lighting fixtures in the Activ-
ities and Recreation Center. While similar fixtures were installed in the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts in 2010, as well as other campus buildings, we need to be making a push to install similar fixtures, or light systems with the same energy-saving effect, in all campus buildings. This is a great step for the University, not only because it will continue to save energy, but because it will alleviate the financial stress caused by impending budget cuts. A frequent misconception about eco-friendly initiatives is they will cost more money to implement and continue running than other potentially more outdated technologies. However, it is new equipment, such as the energy-saving light fixtures, that has the potential to reinvigorate the images and ideals associated with environmen-
tally-focused programs on all campuses across the nation. If something as simple as changing light bulbs has the ability to open up or restructure the University’s budget while simultaneously decreasing the amount of energy used by the University, that should be a change we push for in all campus buildings. To stay in the tune of saving money by saving energy, we can be making more efforts to ensure lights in campus buildings are turned off throughout the night. While some lights should be kept on for security purposes, far too often it is apparent that lights are left on throughout the night, not only wasting energy but driving up energy spending. If turning off lights in campus buildings was paired with the new light technologies our campus is start-
ing to adopt, the University would surely save money that could be absorbed into areas of our budget that are suffering. There are so many potential benefits the University and environment would reap following these changes, and these are benefits we shouldn’t be waiting years to start getting. Changing the light systems in the ARC is a great step, but hopefully the University will make haste getting this technology into other campus buildings. When we see the convergence of the budget and environment — two of the greatest issues our campus and world face today — being combated in one comprehensive plan, it should not only be praised, but should be something other campuses try to implement. We should always be working toward the title of a cuttingedge, eco-friendly campus.
Find yourself in graduation speeches ALEX SWANSON Opinions columnist
In
less than two weeks, the University will hold a campus-wide commencement ceremony complete with a commencement speaker and speech. I have no doubt that this year’s speaker, Risa LavizzoMourey, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will have insightful and motivational comments for the graduates. Graduation’s approach this year has encouraged me to think on past famous commencement speeches: David Foster Wallace at Kenyon College in 2005, Steve Jobs at Stanford University in 2005 or John F. Kennedy at American University in 1963. While they are not all as famous, there are hundreds if not thousands of these speeches delivered each year at vari-
ous schools around the country, and the advice offered in each is applicable to every graduate regardless of year and college. I started wondering if there are similarities between the most memorable and effective speeches and identified some common themes. According to Wallace’s speech at Kenyon, an essential component of any speech is “the deployment of didactic little parable-ish stories. The story ‘thing’ turns out to be one of the better, less bullshitty conventions of the genre.� He further hypothesizes that perhaps the most important component present in these commencement speeches is emphasis on the value of education. But there’s something else, as Wallace and so many others prove through their addresses. These speeches are a unique opportunity. They address a minority population. While attending a large university, it might not feel as if we, as stu-
Âł
dents, are the minority, but less than a third of the population over 25 holds a bachelor’s degree in the United States. A commencement speech is a chance to address a group of young people at the brink of an enormous transition, one that they have been consciously moving toward for two decades, which explains why failure is typically a large theme, as well. Graduates inherently have succeeded by one of the largest measures of societal success: obtaining a college degree. In the midst of this accomplishment, however, they are warned that life isn’t just a journey upward from that point on. They are advised to somehow enjoy the inevitable failures and to view them as liberation from some sort of system and structure that wasn’t working for them anyway. The call to take risks for personal gain and success is also prevalent. They say that graduates have to make their own luck; they have to take every
Âł
opportunity. The value of hard work can never be overstated. Simultaneously, and almost conflictingly, these speeches instruct graduates to think beyond themselves, to promote peace and global collaboration. One cannot, in good conscience, leave out Wallace’s discussion on the meaning of life and progressing past what he calls the “default settings� in our way of thinking. He insists that people are aware of the way we think and that we can control how to view any situation. All this advice flies at graduates from every which way. Embrace failure, take any sort of action, promote peace, attempt to understand what it means to live and to die, be an individual, be part of a collective ... The tropes go on and on. Graduates are advised to do everything and anything, so long as they are conscious of their decision. All the most revered speeches are about taking responsibility

for the way in which one decides to move forward and enter into a working society, whatever way he or she takes. The graduates have to be aware; they must be empathetic; they have to be curious about their surroundings. Somehow it all comes back to that. This is an idea that Wallace heavily emphasized in his speech. Though it wasn’t frequently at the forefront of other memorable speeches, the idea is constantly present in one way or another. For all the May 2015 graduates, first off so many congratulations to you. Secondly, take a minute to think about what advice some of the most remarkable people have previously given to those in your current position. React to the advice that resonates most with you, and be aware of your own agency when doing so.

REEMA explorers with newfound knowledge about the University’s unseen energy system.
3. Don’t be afraid to shift gears The exciting thing about being a features reporter is that in order to write a decent article, I have to become an expert about a topic in two weeks — often, one I initially knew little to nothing about. My very first article was about IntelliWheels, a University-grown company that makes automatic gear-shifting wheelchairs. The company was only 1 year old when I talked to its founder Scott Daigle in 2011, but it has since gained high acclaim as it found its niche. Along with co-founder Marissa Siebel and product manager and renowned Paralympic athlete Josh George, Daigle and his company have come a long way since they helped me kick off my Daily Illini career as a freshman.
4. Learn something new — and ancient What do you get when you cross four engineering students, one semester-long project and 400 pounds of granite? A replica of an Ancient Egyptian pulley used to build the pyramids. In April 2013, I learned about Stephen Blakely, dubbed the “re-inventor of the Egyptian pulley.” He and the four students came up with a mechanism that could have potentially built the pyramids in Giza, using only rope, stone and olive oil. These students deviated from typical senior design projects, and I deviated from typical features articles to focus on this modern version of an ancient device.
5. Don’t lose your Marbles Being a reporter can be stressful: Waiting to hear back from sources, meeting strict deadlines and finding out you can’t get
an interview with Jenna Marbles. The YouTube megastar came to visit campus in mid-April of this year, and unfortunately, she wasn’t taking interviews before her appearance. However, I was still able to talk with some passionate fans, dig deep into YouTube for some research and attend her packed lecture. No actual marbles were lost in the making of this article.
6. Learn to juggle your responsibilities Armed with my trusty voice recorder, I took a field trip to the Armory to catch a meeting with the Illini Juggling and Unicycle Club in October of 2014. While I was there, I met Antonio Daniel II, president of the club, and Chris LaReau, a 1988 alumnus and veteran 30-year club juggler. LaReau said he comes to the meetings to de-stress from his day job and see the club change throughout the years. Since I have known how to juggle since high school, I joined in the festivities while I was there and continued to juggle my reporting, schoolwork and other campus activities after I left.
7. Put your heart into it This article takes the cake for the most in-depth research, digging and sheer luck. As a reporter, I do my best to speak with the most relevant sources to the articles I write about, but it can be difficult for more specialized topics. For this one, somehow I hit the nail on the head. I wrote an article about the history of Valentine’s Day in February 2014. I dug deep in the University Archives; I braved the eerie Stacks the Main Library alone; and most importantly, I was able to speak to Ralph Mathisen, professor in LAS, who just happened to have a stash of early 1900s Valentines at his disposal.
8. Have some fun (with puns) One day I decided to write an article all in
puns, just to see if I could manage it. Similar to the mustache article, it was a bit wacky to say the least. Ultimately I challenged myself to fit as many quips in the article as possible, and the result was either surprisingly impressive or deeply groan-worthy (depending on how you feel about puns).
9. Be that Guy One of the few music performance reviews I wrote over the past four years has been Buddy Guy at ELLNORA in 2013. I was fortunate to watch his show live when he came to the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. The legendary polka dot-wearing guitarist even strolled through the aisles, cracking jokes at the audience and all in all enjoying his time. The ELLNORA guitar festival only comes around once every two years, so once I had the chance to cover such a high-profile show, I made sure to take it.
10. Connecting the dots In September 2013, I wondered how connected I am with Kevin Bacon — or anyone else in the world, for that matter. The theory of six degrees of separation — often associated with the game “six degrees to Kevin Bacon” — states that everyone in the world is connected to each other with about six steps between them. This is one article where I brought a broad topic and narrowed it down to the campus scope, interviewing professors, researchers, and other professionals who knew more about it. *** Above all, the biggest motivation for me to stick with The Daily Illini through 100 articles was the connections I would make and the curiosity of whom I would meet through my assignments. Speaking to about 300 people from all walks of life, I have established many personal connections over the course of my four-year arc.

Harness said Yama was remarkable not only for the way he reached out to get help when he needed it, but also the way he helped other classmates when he grew confident with his mastery of the material. South Seattle College chemistry instructor Jake Ashcraft said Yama excels at self-assessment and he organized study groups where his fellow students could get together to talk science, a proven strategy to improve comprehension. Yama recognizes that, at 30, he’s better able to concentrate on academics than he was when he was younger. But he also gives a lot of credit to the college: “Here, they’re very interested in your success, and willing to help.” Two years ago, Yama was accepted into a University of Washington program called Building Bridges to Bioengineering, which gives community-college students experience in biomedical and bioengineering labs. The work paid a summer stipend, and he’s been a volunteer at a UW lab ever since. He also tutors at the nonprofit Neighborhood House, which offers aid to refugee and immigrant families, and he has helped clean up the Duwamish River, planted trees for the nonprofit Nature Consortium and donated blood platelets. Yama doesn’t know if he’s lucky or just reaping the rewards of hard work. But his instructors say they’re not surprised by his success — to Harness and Ashcraft, it’s that combination of a strong work ethic and a generous spirit that has brought Yama to where he is today.

A school dropout at 14, David Yama works at a University of Washington Medicine lab where he serves as a volunteer. doned the family. Yama says some of his teachers decided at an early age that he was a troublemaker. He had run-ins with counselors and administrators, and was held back a grade. When he was 14, he dropped out. A year later, he persuaded the captain of the Lady Washington, a tall ship that docked in Aberdeen, to let him volunteer on a sailing trip to California. Eventually he worked on other tall ships — experience that led to a job on the set of the 2003 movie “Master and Commander,” filmed in Baja, Mexico, when he was 18. The job was boring, but it paid well. After nine months, Yama returned to Washington with money in the bank, but no job or specific skills. He hopped from job to job. He knew it wasn’t adding up to anything. “I was starting to get really tired — I was jumping from boat to boat, basically,” he said. Although his lack of a high-school diploma hadn’t kept him from getting minimum-wage jobs, Yama knew he could do better if he went back to school. He wanted, at the very least, to complete his GED, or high-school equivalency degree. When he was 27, he started taking classes at South Seattle College. GED instructor Jane Harness said many of her students had bad experiences in school and lack confidence in their academic skills. They’re often guarded and insecure. Yama was no exception. “It’s hard, making that decision to go back to school when you have failed previously,” she said. But with Yama, “this little switch turned on for him, and he became really determined.”

Ex-dropout honored at school SEATTLE — David Yama dropped out of school when he was 14, and by the time he was in his mid-20s had worked enough odd jobs to last a lifetime. He’d volunteered as a sailor on a replica of a historic tall sailing ship, worked as a set crew member on a major motion picture, bagged groceries, sold cars at a local dealership, pulled shots as a barista and bartended at a swanky hotel. But nothing clicked until Yama went back to school to finish his education — where his work ethic has started to pay off. Yama was honored recently as one of the top community-college scholars in the nation by Phi Theta Kappa, an international honor society for community-college students. For his academic, leadership and civic work, he was first picked by a panel of local judges to be the state’s New Century Scholar, then named to the All-USA Academic Team. He was one of just 20 community-college students nationwide to receive the latter distinction. Yama, who has a 3.96 grade-point average and also does volunteer work at a University of Washington research lab, will graduate with an associate degree this June from South Seattle College, one of the city’s three community colleges. He hopes to transfer to a fouryear school — either the University of Washington or the University of California, Berkeley — and eventually earn his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering. As part of the Phi Theta Kappa honor, he received a scholarship to further his education. “Once I started here — the environment was right, it was a 180 from what I thought I was capable of,” Yama said. His journey from dropout to academic star started in Ocean Shores, Washington, in the North Beach School District, where more than 70 percent of students qualify for federally sponsored free or reduced-price lunches. Only about a third go to college after high-school graduation. Yama has four siblings, and family life was turbulent. His father was an alcoholic and eventually aban-

designing the error
BY EMILY SCOTT
T
STAFF WRITER
he squirrel has become more of a campus icon than some students and faculty may realize. The furry creature will soon make a digital appearance on the University website’s 404 and 500 error pages, with the help of the University Public Affairs’ first Illinois 404 Contest. A 404 error is a requested page that cannot be found and a 500 error is meant to inform visitors that an unexpected error has occurred. University Public Affairs announced in March they were hosting the competition to see who could design the most creative error pages for the University website. Entries had to have some kind of connection to the University and had to be submitted by any undergraduate or graduate student. The contest ran until the fi rst week of April. For those looking for inspiration, the contest website presented design examples and offered “one million extra points to anyone who can create a webpage featuring a campus squirrel holding hands with the Alma Mater sculpture as they run away from an explosion.” After reviewing the entries, one design was selected to appear on the 404-error page and another for the 500-error page. It just so happened that both winning entries featured a squirrel. Although similar contests have occurred at other universities across the nation, the winning prizes made this one a little offbeat. Winners had their choice of receiving either 404 packages of ramen, 404 inches of bubble wrap or a framed print of their design. Mayank Mehta, freshman in LAS and one winner of the contest, said he had never tasted ramen in his life, so naturally, that’s what he chose for his prize. “I was like, ‘I’ve never had ramen, so what better way to start having ramen than with 404 packets of it?’” he said. His design, which will appear on the 404 page, features a squirrel in a tree with the message: “The page you are looking for was buried! Don’t
worry, here’s a squirrel to help you look.” He said he is happy that so many people will see his design. Mehta said he has been interested in graphic design since his freshman year of high school and he hopes to start his own marketing or advertising business. “Having people appreciate what you make is just such a great feeling. And I love that,” he said. “But again, I just make it because it’s fun, and that’s just an extra award at the end, that people actually like what you’re doing.” As for Morgan Behrens, the other contest winner and junior in Media, she said she decided to go for a more tangible prize and receive a framed print of her design, which also incorporates a squirrel and will appear on the website’s 500-error page. “I can hang it up and point to it, whereas ramen, you’re going to eat it and be done,” she said. Behrens said she didn’t expect her design to win. “Right now, I just have some pieces online, and only teachers, friends and family see it,” Behrens said. “Now, when people screw up on the page somewhere, a lot of people will be seeing (this), so that’s exciting.” She said it will defi nitely be an asset to her resume and portfolio, as well as good experience in graphic design. According to Meaghan Downs, editorial associate for social media for public affairs, the idea for the 404 contest originally stemmed from their desire to increase student engagement through social media. As the Illinois homepage was recently redesigned, Downs said now seemed like the perfect time to hold a contest that would showcase student work and complement the new homepage design at the same time. “It’s cool because both of them did squirrels, which I think is kind of funny and cute,” Downs said.

The contest was also an experiment for Public Affairs to see how they could increase social media interaction. Through outlets such as Twitter — @ Illinois_Alma — their aim is to get people to know more about the University while also showcasing unique events such as the contest. “Twitter is an extension of the University,” Downs said. “We want people to look at that and know that research and events are going on but also know that we also do some cool, innovative things on social media.” For the upcoming fi nals week, Public Affairs is planning another social media event that may resemble the highly popular hot chocolate giveaway that went on during last semester’s fi nals week. Downs said the giveaway resulted in a 76 percent increase of page views on their Twitter page. “It’s community building,” Downs said. “Some things work better than others ... and we’re still really open to hearing what students have to say and what we can do to better engage with students, too.”

Reporter pens wisdom after 100 articles REEMA ABI-AKAR Staff writer
T
hree years ago, on a sunny October day, I found myself in a full beekeeper’s uniform easily five sizes too big for me, standing in the middle of a field, wondering how I ever landed in such a bizarre situation. No, this was not a strange dream. This was just another assignment that I’ve had over the past four years as a features reporter for The Daily Illini. I started out in fall 2011, eager to take my high school newspaper expertise into the college scope. Now, four years, about 300 interviews and
100 articles later, it’s safe to say I’ve done my job — and more. I admit I have had a love-hate relationship with this position throughout the years. Some articles I simply did not like writing. Others were so special that I could never forget the people I talked to and the new things I learned. I think the best way to illustrate my experience (and inception into the triple-digit club) is to take you along for the ride. Here’s what I learned after 100 articles.
1. Don’t trust every mustache Perhaps one of the goofiest assignments I ever took was an article — no, more like an in-depth, pun-fi lled extravaganza
— about mustaches. Have you ever spoken to the chairman of the American Mustache Institute? I have. And he lied to me. Yes, that’s right, to my face — well, to my ear on the phone.

2. Explore your underground interests My sophomore year, in spring 2013, I had the rare opportunity to explore the mysterious underground steam tunnels with David Ruzic as part of his NPRE 101: “Introduction to Energy Sources” class. The dank, sweltering heat was unwelcome, even in chilly February, but the experience was unforgettable. Nine miles of mazelike twists and turns exist under the University’s campus, and my class may not have found our way out if it wasn’t for the helpful steam tunnel workers leading the way.

As 21-game win streak continues, team finds different paths to victory.

Team continues to rise in polls, owns nation’s highest winning percentage
It’s been a while since the Illinois baseball team lost a game. In fact, the last time the Illini lost, it was 37 degrees outside, spring break had just ended and fi nal exams were simply a distant threat. Heck, the newest royal princess wasn’t even alive yet. Much has changed since Illinois lost 5-2 to Michigan State on March 29. But what hasn’t changed is the number in the Illini’s loss column. After that loss to the Spartans over a month ago, the Illini responded with two wins in two days and have not stopped from there. A school-record 21 consecutive wins later, Illinois has the best winning percentage (40-6-1) in the nation, is no lower than eighth among all major national rankings and is in position to lock down one of just eight national seeds for the NCAA tournament, which begins May 29, two months to the day since the Illini last lost. All season, the Illini players have said they go into every game expecting to win, but with the streak growing as large as it has, some wins deserve double takes. “It’s gotten to a point after some games where we look back and wonder how we just

Not being in a conference particularly known for its baseball prowess, Illinois hasn’t received the type of national praise expected of a team on this type of run. National media flooded Columbus, Ohio, last weekend, though, and saw just how good the Illini are. Hartleb was happy with how his team performed under the spotlight. “To continue to play well and then to do it in front of all the national media was a plus,� Hartleb said. “I think we gained respect across the country because some of the major baseball writers were there for the games.

Going even further, Illinois is 10-3 against teams in the top 50 of the RPI — a mark better than powerhouses like Florida, Miami and TCU. Illinois has six more regular season games to continue to prove the critics wrong and build on its 1 1/2 game lead over Iowa in the Big Ten standings. As far as the streak goes, the Illini are 13 wins away from the all-time record of 34 wins, shared by Texas and Florida Atlantic. That 34th-straight win could come in the midst of a national championship run. “We’re a legit team right now,� Kerian said. “There’s still doubters out there, we know, but we’re going to keep playing the same way we’ve been playing all year.

After every game, we have a good time and celebrate the win, but after an hour or so, we forget about it and try to move on to the next game.� Throughout the streak, the Illini have outscored their opponents 161-65 and have won in many different ways. They’ve blown out opponents, but have also won nine games decided by three runs or fewer. They’ve come out on top in the slugfests when they gave up as many as 10 runs, and they’ve prevailed in the pitching duels during which they were held to as little two runs. They’ve won four extra-inning thrillers, have 13 comeback victories and have done it all with the poise of a professional ball club. Illinois seems to have found the perfect balance of hustle and composure when it comes to how the team approaches each game. It’s a team that doesn’t panic and has been praised for its maturity by head coach Dan Hartleb. “You can play at a very high level and not win games, and I think this group is smart and mature enough to understand that,� Hartleb said. “We’ve been fortunate to be able to go on this long streak and do a lot of things well and find ways to win games.� Illinois has won a schoolrecord 15 straight conference games, and all six of its Big Ten series this season, five of which were sweeps — another school record.

Back to where it began: life beyond baseball BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
Students fi le into the Lincoln Hall Theater on a Wednesday morning in April just before the start of a World Religions lecture. Most walk in with tired expressions on their faces, showing almost as much emotion as the portraits that blankly stare out into the great hall. There are a few weeks left in the spring semester at the University, and some students are counting down the days until classes are done. But for one of the 397 students, the end of the semester holds a different meaning. Toward the right side of the theater sits 26-yearold Josh Parr, who intently listens as the professor gives fi nal reminders. The student fiddles with his pen in his right hand. He wears a blue jacket with a block I over his heart that reads “Baseball� across it, underneath is written, “2011 Big Ten Champions.�
“The dream may quit on you, but don’t you quit on the dream.� Cam Parr taught his three sons to respect and work hard at the game of baseball at an early age. A former college baseball player at Huntington College, he knew the importance of instilling those values when they were just starting to learn the game. Cam would take Josh and his twin younger brothers, Jordan and Justin, out to the fields of Chillicothe, Illinois, to work on baseball fundamentals. Cam dragged his daughter, Jessica, along to shag balls and run the bases. Sometimes when the exercises got too repetitive, Cam took his four kids to get ice cream. The father coached his sons through their baseball careers all the way to high school. Josh paved the way for the twins — all three played at Illinois Valley Central High School before becoming Illini. He played at his dream
school for three years before the Arizona Diamondbacks drafted him in the 12th round of the Major League Baseball Draft in June 2011. Josh’s first stop was with the Missoula Osprey in Montana, where he hit a home run in his second game, batted .288 and led the league in steals halfway through the year. All was well until he took a fastball to the face in a game, broke his cheekbone in four places and missed most of the remainder of the season. He didn’t fare well at 2012 spring training and was sent to the South Bend Silver Hawks, the Diamondbacks Single-A team in Indiana. There he struggled and was consequently sent to the Yakima Bears in Hillsboro, Oregon, a short-season Single-A team. Josh dealt with apprehension: He was flinching at the plate and doubted he could play baseball anymore. Sitting in a hotel room during a road trip with the Silver

Former Illinois baseball player Josh Parr, senior in LAS, says goodbye to his baseball days at Illinois Field on Tuesday as he finishes up his studies at the University. Hawks, he made a dismayed phone call to his father. The shortstop was demoted to the Bears two days later and called his father again, this
time questioning his baseball future. Cam listened to his son’s doubt and when he was fi nished, provided Josh with
the wisdom that only a father can provide. “When things aren’t going

PARR in that moment, it’s easy to think that maybe you should think about doing something else,” Cam said. “You have to live where you’re at ... You have to wake up everyday and fight like this is all you’re ever going to do.” Josh retuned to Hillsboro in 2013 with a new batting stance. With a newly implemented stance and big lead step, he hit the ball well and seemed like he would fi nally get promoted above Single-A. Then, just as quickly, his opportunity vanished — he pulled his hamstring running the bases and missed a month-and-a-half. Another spring training passed, and Josh returned to South Bend in 2014 and barely played. He anticipated promotion — he thought he was being rested for his jump to Double-A — when the farm director came to town. But when Josh walked into the office and saw a group of men surrounding a chair in the middle of the room, he knew it was the end. He rejected the organization’s offer to fi nish the season with the Osprey and retired on the spot. Josh was done with his dream.
“It was just what we did.” Jordan Parr enjoyed playing with his brothers but never felt like they were competing against each other. Josh had always set the example for the twins: He played legion ball, then Peoria-area baseball before playing one year of summer travel ball. He was named to the Class A All-State teams during his junior and senior years in high school and was the No. 34 prospect in Illinois. Josh received offers from Arkansas and LSU but didn’t want to go far from home. Illinois was a family favorite, and at the end, the decision was easy. Jordan and Justin followed the same path, but their road was different. Jordan went to Illinois State as a recruited walkon, but during the summer before college, he tore his left labrum playing basketball and had surgery. He played summer ball and transferred to Parkland Community College in Champaign before joining Illinois in 2012. The Los Angeles Dodgers drafted him in 2012 and the Diamondbacks did the same in 2013. He took Arizona’s offer. Justin went to Parkland for a year after graduating from high school and joined Josh at Illinois in 2011. He played there until 2013 when the Philadelphia Phillies

Although Josh and Jordan never played together at Illinois, the two crossed paths far from home — in Oregon. Josh was recovering from his injury and Jordan was trying to make a good first impression. The two spent the summer together in an apartment. Jordan gained respect for his brother because of the way Josh dealt with the difficult situation. Josh had a strong relationship with his Christian faith and despite the bumpy road, made it seem like he would be all right. “He was trying to do the best he could,” Jordan said. “I’ve never seen someone demonstrate such faith during such a difficult time.” Jordan was released this past spring training, and Justin was released after playing in the minors in 2013 and 2014. He fi nished his agri-business degree at Illinois in the fall and now works in Chicago for a sales company. Jordan will return to campus in the fall to finish his communications degree — the degree Josh is pursuing right now. All three brothers played the sport they loved, but all accepted they weren’t good enough to play in the major leagues.
“It strengthened us as individuals.” Julie Parr knew what her husband needed to do when his minor league career ended. She knew Josh had lived his dream and needed to come back to reality. The former Illinois soccer player had been with him since the two started dating their sophomore year of college. Josh had a good freshman season but made mistakes along the way. He suffered through a sophomore slump during which head coach Dan Hartleb said he couldn’t have a shortstop making so
Parr brothers in the minor leagues Josh 2011: Missoula Osprey 2012: South Bend Silver Hawks/Yakima Bears 2013: Hillsboro Hops 2014: South Bend Silver Hawks many errors. Josh played summer-league baseball without any pressure. He did well there and responded with a strong junior season, which earned the attention of scouts. Julie was there with her then-boyfriend when he was drafted. Josh’s reaction was an anticlimactic “oh” when the pick fi nally appeared on the computer screen. The Diamondbacks scout called him and Josh accepted the offer on a Tuesday, and flew to Arizona two days later. Although Josh didn’t want to address it at the time, both Josh’s mother and Julie agreed that he would come back to fi nish his degree. The lifestyle of a minorleague baseball player isn’t luxurious. Josh made just enough to pay for rent. He saved the money he received on road trips for meals and instead bought three loaves of bread and a jar of peanut butter to stretch out his money. Josh and Julie married in December 2012. When he struggled to keep his confidence high, she listened and provided advice, knowing what it was like to have professional sports dreams. She played for the Chicago Red Stars during the summer of 2011, before her senior year, and traveled to Tanzania in 2012 instead of returning to the Red Stars. After living with Josh during his time in Oregon, she joined the Charlotte Lady Eagles in 2014 and Josh joined her in Charlotte when

he was released by the Diamondbacks. There they came to the conclusion that Josh would take summer school classes and return to Illinois to fi nish his degree. “He’s ready to go with what he knows is next,” Julie said. “We’re glad he’s been able to put in this year and fi nish up and show the value of the education he got.” The two are now back in Champaign having fi nished their professional careers. Julie served the past soccer season as a part-time strength and conditioning coach for the Illini and her role with next season’s team is not yet clear.
“I had a blast, I have no regrets.” The students disperse from the theater once the guest lecturer finishes. Josh packs up his things and heads toward the bustling, sun-soaked main quad. He enters the Illini Union where a future co-worker meets him at the Courtyard Café. After graduation, Parr will work for The Navigators, a campus ministry group. He’s wearing his 2011 Big Ten championship jacket, now just a mere symbol of who he used to be. He is no longer that coveted baseball player. He is just a student, waiting to see where his journey will take him next.

Derrick Rose said he has no pain in the right shoulder that he suffered a stinger in late in the Bulls’ Game 1 victory over the Cavaliers. The Bulls didn’t practice Tuesday, opting for a fi lm session and walkthrough at the team hotel. “I feel good,” Rose said in a hotel ballroom. “I’m not sore or anything so that’s a good sign. The stinger was the most pain I had. This morning, I don’t feel anything.” Rose posted 25 points, five rebounds and five
assists for the Bulls, who try to take a commanding 2-0 lead with two road victories on Wednesday. “Even if I’m not scoring or having a bad game, you gotta fi gure things out,” Rose said. “But I can’t have that thought in my mind. I’m just having a lot of confidence in my game. “Overall, we competed. Even when they made their runs and changed the momentum, we withstood that and played together as a team. We didn’t get rattled.”
LeBron James discusses need to be more aggressive in next game INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — LeBron James acknowledged Tuesday he might have to be more aggressive in Game 2 against the Chicago Bulls. With the Cavs’ Big Three down to only two following the injury to Kevin Love, James thought he was too passive at times during Monday’s 99-92 loss to the Bulls despite fi nishing with 19 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists. “I think I may have to change my mindset a little bit, obviously, with Kev being out,” James said. “It’s something we all haven’t been accustomed to this year with him being out for an extensive period or another of the Big Three being out for a long period of time since I had my injuries. It might be a different mindset for myself and Kyrie (Irving).” James has always main-
tained the fi rst game of any series is a “feel out” game, but that may have been taken to an extreme Monday. “I’ve never went into a game saying, ‘OK I’m going to be ultra aggressive,’” James said. “I’ve always had to feel out things, but last night it was a little bit too much feel out. I only had two shots at one point. I was just not as aggressive offensively as I was defensively. We’ll see.” James was most upset with his lack of efficiency Monday. He shot just 9-for22 and missed all three of his 3-point attempts. “For me that’s an off game just from the standpoint I’m a very efficient player as far as my shooting,” James said. “And to be 9 of 22, that’s unacceptable. Offensively, as far as shooting, I was not efficient enough.”

Minnesota makes hosting bid for 2020 championship Gov. Dayton aims for sports event ‘trifecta’ at new stadium BY MARINO ECCHER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
If the Gophers can produce a championship football team by 2020, Gov. Mark Dayton wants them to feel right at home. Monday, Dayton officially announced a bid to host the College Football Playoff championship game in the Vikings’ new $1 billion stadium, scheduled to open by fall 2016 and already chosen to house the 2018 Super Bowl and the 2019 NCAA tournament Final Four. “It’s worked twice,” Dayton said. “Why not go for the trifecta?” Minnesota has tried and failed once, in 2017, to convince college football to hold what is in effect its biggest bowl game in the least likely of locales. Bowl games are generally warm-weather affairs aimed at attracting winter-weary alumni and fans, so selling the charms of Minneapolis in January will be an uphill climb. The 2016 title game will be in Arizona, the 2017 game in Tampa, Florida. A successful bid also will require the kinds of tax breaks that stirred controversy when the Super Bowl bid was approved last fall. Monday, in fact, the State Senate voted down an attempt to repeal tax con-
cessions already promised to the NFL. Michele Kelm-Helgen, chair of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, which runs the Vikings stadium, said what the game’s organizers want isn’t yet clear. The College Football Playoff is not an NCAA-sanctioned championship and is instead run by the 10 biggest conferences, including the Big Ten, which splits the majority of the playoff’s revenue. Scot Housh, co-chair of the state’s campaign for the game, said he expects a successful bid will require $8 million to $12 million in private contributions, comparable to the winning Final Four bid. Chris Polincinki, the other co-chair, said hosting the event would have “a significant, positive impact to our region.” He said the economic impact of the inaugural playoff championship in Dallas this year was estimated at more than $300 million. Such figures, however, vary widely among economists, and there is no estimate for the Twin Cities yet. In addition to the game, the bid will focus on the area’s ability to accommodate concerts, parties and other side events. Taken together, it will “tout the virtues of living in Minneapolis, even in January.” The bid is due May 27, with a decision due this fall. The process is for 2018, 2019 and 2020; Minnesota is seeking consideration for only the final year because of the oth-

Kelm-Helgen said she expects competition from southern cities with a history of college football bowl games such as Houston and
Dallas. Organizers “have given a very strong signal that they’re willing to go other places,” Kelm-Helgen said, and was told they would give serious consideration to “a state like Minnesota.” Among those on hand for
Monday’s announcement were Vikings Chief Operating Officer Kevin Warren and Gophers football coach Jerry Kill. Kill wasn’t as bullish as Dayton in predicting a Gophers title team, but said the event — already the
most-watched cable-TV program ever, in its first year — will only continue to grow. “If you watch the NFL and college football and you watch TV, it just keeps going,” he said, tracing an upward trajectory with his finger.

Trying to reclaim NBA crown Eight remaining teams haven’t won NBA title in 16 years BY DWAIN PRICE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Sometime in mid-June, the NBA will crown a champion for the 2014-15 season. There will be a parade, followed by a visit to the White House. None of the eight teams in the hunt for the NBA’s biggest prize has raised the trophy in the past 16 years. And most of the players weren’t even born the last time their franchises were crowned champions. The Bulls were the last in 1998 when the incomparable Michael Jordan completed his remarkable run of six championships in an eightyear span in Chicago. While Jordan was inexplicably away trying to do one of the hardest things in pro sports — hit a baseball — the Houston Rockets captured consecutive titles in 1994 and ‘95. But in my estimation, the Bulls will finally step out of Jordan’s giant shadow and win a title. But it won’t be easy. Before they changed their names to the Wizards, the Washington Bullets won their only NBA championship in 1978. And the Golden State Warriors were last crowned NBA champions in 1975. The
Hawks were still in St. Louis when they won their only NBA title in 1958 before making the move to Atlanta. Chicago, Houston, Washington, Golden State and Atlanta are five of the eight finalists in the race for this year’s title. The other three teams — Cleveland, Memphis and the Los Angeles Clippers — have never won. Of course, you can make a case for all eight teams. However, now that Derrick Rose is close to being back to the form that landed him the 2011 MVP award, the Bulls are now positioned to win in so many ways. With Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah, Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson, Tony Snell, Mike Dunleavy, Aaron Brooks, Kirk Hinrich, rookie sensation Nikola Mirotic and the attackminded Rose, the Bulls have the inside muscle and outside presence to beat any of the other seven teams. They also have a shrewd coach in Tom Thibodeau. They defeated the Cavs in the first game of the series on Monday. The Warriors have the strongest chance of blocking the Bulls. Armed with newlyminted MVP Stephen Curry and fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson, the Warriors are loaded with talent. From Draymond Green to Andrew Bogut to Harrison Barnes to Andre Iguodala to Shaun Livingston to Marreese Speights to Leandro Barbosa to David Lee, the Warriors have few gaps. But the lack of a potent inside
game could be their undoing — and that’s the Bulls’ strength. The Cavs are hampered by the loss of Kevin Love, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the first round against Boston. Also, the NBA has suspended Cavs guard J.R. Smith from the first two games of the BullsCavs series for hitting Celtics forward Jae Crowder in the face. Injuries to Patrick Beverley and Donatas Motiejunas could eventually catch up with the Rockets. The amazing Wizards have talked — and played — a good game so far. But, try as he might, Paul Pierce can’t talk Washington into a title. Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley Jr. (eye) will likely return to the lineup when their series with Golden State shifts to Memphis. But no one from the Western Conference will beat the Warriors, who are 42-2 at home this season, with 28 of those victories coming by 10 or more points. Even though they are the second-most popular team in LA, the Clippers knocked off the reigning NBA champion San Antonio Spurs in seven games, capitalizing on the Spurs’ mental mistakes in Games 6 and 7. And look for the Bulls to have their long-awaited parade. And a visit to the White House to see perhaps their biggest fan — President Barack Obama.
Isiah Thomas was named team president and part owner of the WNBA’s New York Liberty, the team announced Tuesday. Thomas will be responsible for basketball and business operations. He will also have an ownership interest in the team, pending WNBA approval. “I love the game,” Thomas said in a phone interview. “I’m very passionate about the game. In terms of going out and acquiring talent and drafting talent, I think I’ll be able to do that well. Building up the talent, building up the basketball, I’ll be able to do that. Now we want to make sure we put a good product on the Garden floor.” In the Liberty’s release announcing the move, Madison Square Garden executive chairman James Dolan said Thomas “has been advising the team” since the fall and “we are very pleased with the results.” The Liberty brought back Thomas’ former Pistons teammate Bill Laimbeer as coach and hired former Knicks assistant coach Herb Williams as an assistant. Dolan said Thomas “has overseen” those decisions as well as the free-agent signings and draft strategy. “Now, we’ve agreed that it
is time for him to take a lead role with the team as president, and through his ownership interest,” Dolan said in a statement. “He’s an excellent judge of talent, and I’m confident that he will put all of his energy and experience into making the Liberty a perennially competitive and successful team.” Thomas’ partial ownership stake must still be approved by the WNBA. “ New ow ners a re approved by our WNBA Board of Governors,” WNBA President Laurel Richie said in a statement, “and this process has not yet begun.” Thomas, an NBA Hall of Famer who won two titles with the Detroit Pistons, spent six seasons with the Knicks, including five as team president and two as coach. In 2006, Thomas and the Garden were accused in a sexual harassment case filed by former Knicks executive Anucha Browne Sanders. In 2007, she was awarded $11.6 million. Thomas maintained his innocence and was never found personally liable. “We did not believe the allegations then, and we don’t believe them now,” Madison Square Garden said in a separate statement on Tuesday. “We feel strongly that Isiah Thom-
as was held responsible for sordid allegations that were completely unrelated to him, and for which MSG bore responsibility. In fact, when given the opportunity, the jury did not find Isiah liable for punitive damages, confirming he did not act maliciously or in bad faith. We believe Isiah belongs in basketball, and are grateful that he has committed his considerable talent to help the Liberty succeed.” While Thomas was a coach at Florida International University, the Knicks tried to hire him as a consultant in 2010, but that plan was scrapped because it violated NBA rules. In his new position, Thomas said he will not be involved with the Knicks. “I’m with the Liberty,” Thomas said. “That’s my job. I’m the president of the New York Liberty. That’s my focus and that’s my job. “To me, basketball is basketball,” Thomas said. “These women are outstanding athletes who want to compete for a championship in New York. I look forward to this challenge — not just to win a title, but also to help broaden the team’s fan base.” The Dolan family owns controlling interests in the Liberty, Madison Square Garden and Cablevision.

Most Comfortable Quarterback
Greatest Thing to Come to Those Who Wait
Brett Hundley, QB — UCLA, Green Bay Packers While Winston and Mariota will be thrust into starting positions right away, they’re doing so for teams with a litany of issues. There’s a reason the Buccaneers and the Titans had the top two picks in the draft. Instead, as the fifth quarterback taken, Hundley finds himself in the best position. While he’s not making the money that Winston and Mariota will, Hundley has time to learn from NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and a coaching staff that has proven it can develop quarterbacks. Hundley has always been an intriguing prospect, and he fell down draft boards this year because he’s raw. The time he’ll get with the
Malcom Brown, DT — Texas, New England Patriots On Thursday night, Brown probably expected to hear his name called earlier than the final pick of the first round. But his draft destination could end up being a perfect fit for him and the Patriots. New England lost the anchor of their defense, Vince Wilfork, in free agency. Now the Patriots have two first round DT’s who could take Wilfork’s place, with Brown and Dominique Easley, who missed last year’s postseason run while on injured reserve. Brown has played a lot of different positions and could be as versatile and athletic as Wilfork was for New England. They’re also similar physically. Each year the Patriots have
