Veterans center to open Fall 2015 New center will give support to student veterans BY FARAZ MIRZA STAFF WRITER
For Patricia Starks, a veteran deployed in Iraq from 2009 to 2010, it was hard to fi nd common ground with other students when she fi rst came to the University in 2011. “The challenges that I faced as a student veteran were assimilating back into and not knowing too much about the student lifestyle,” said Starks, vice president of Illini Veterans. “Being older and being amongst students who are 18 years old was challenging.” In hopes of better relating to veterans and helping them assimilate into universities, the College of AHS will open a Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education in Fall 2015. The center will focus on providing services to support injured veterans and their families through higher education as they pursue their academic degrees. Though primarily funded by the Chez Family Foundation, the $14 million center also received an undisclosed amount of funding from the state and a number of private donors, said Kyle Kostelecky, director of the center. Kostelecky said the center, which has been in the planning stages for several years, aims to support all those who have been “grievously injured”, while giving them the opportunity to go to school and realize the dream of a career they may have not thought possible. The construction was approved at a Board of Trustees meeting on Jan. 24, 2013. Starks said before the construction for the center began, the University took the fi rst steps toward helping disabled student veterans by constructing a Student Veteran Lounge in the Illini Union basement, where disabled veterans can go to study, relax or talk. Although the lounge currently remains separate from the center, Starks said it has the potential to be combined in the near future. “The center falls under the Applied Health Science college, while the Student Veteran Lounge falls under the Veteran Student Support Services,” Starks said. “I think in the future
University continues engaging veterans
Q The campus is home to over 400 veterans. New veterans can be pairedup to seasoned student veterans through the Vet Connect mentoring program. Q UIUC has been designated as a GI Jobs “Military-Friendly” school for the past three years. Q In the academic year 2012-2013, one-third of undergraduate veterans at the University were named to the Dean’s List. Q UIUC has an active Student Veterans of America Chapter, including the Illini Veterans, which has over 150 active members engaged in a wide array of social and philanthropic activities. Q The Illini Union has a Student Veterans Lounge, a place for veterans to study, interact with other veterans or simply hang out and watch TV. SOURCE: CENTER FOR WOUNDED VETERANS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
what the student veterans would love to see is collaboration and a connection that encompasses it all.” The University, which has been serving students with disabilities since 1948, has been ranked 37th on the Military Times’ 2015 list of “Best for Vets” colleges. Colleges are put on this list based on the accommodations and services they offer to military and veteran students, as well as an assessment of the students’ success rates. Starks, a senior and social media strategist for the Center for Wounded Veterans, said that the idea of the center is to have veterans that are already on campus guide incoming disabled veterans and serve as mentors. “I think the big thing is that it’s a way to connect the student veterans who don’t suffer from any major injuries versus those who are looking to receive a very expensive and severe rehab, to build a relationship among them and a support network,” Starks said. Starks said the Illini Veterans have also raised

Due to recent allegations of sexual assault, upcoming performances by popular comedian Bill Cosby were canceled at Champaign’s Virginia Theatre. “This is the first time the theatre has had this type of situation,” said Joe DeLuce, executive director of the Champaign Park District. “The show has been canceled because of the allegations continuing to grow, and it was not appropriate to show him at this time.” So far, 20 women have publicly accused Cosby of sexual assault. The decision was made by the Champaign Park District Board of Commissioners, the executive director of the park district and
director of the Virginia Theatre. Cosby was scheduled to perform two shows on April 11. In the past, DeLuce said the Virginia Theatre has only canceled shows due to a lack of ticket sales. “We feel that by canceling the show, we have said what we need to say,” DeLuce said. Cosby’s alma mater, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, also cut ties with the comedian, announcing he will no longer be a part of the school’s $300 million fundraising campaign, according to Tribune News Service. Cosby received a Ph.D. in Education from the university in 1977. The Berklee College of Music will no longer award scholarships in Cosby’s name, and he was removed from the board of advisors of High Point University.

While many shoppers fl ocked to big box stores and retail chains this Black Friday, several local businesses offered their own holiday specials. Various shops and services throughout Champaign, Urbana and Savoy launched sales in honor of Black Friday and its online counterpart, Cyber Monday. Shoppers had an assortment of local deals to choose from, including sales and discounts at busi-
nesses such as Art Mart, Checkered Moon, Carle Auxiliary Resale Boutique and Babyland. For some stores, the holiday weekend helped bring larger packs of customers. “Since there’s a lot of families that come together this weekend, the people that come in our store have been in bigger crowds,” said Mahetom Eatoma, a store and warehouse associate at Babyland in Savoy.

UI alumni develop robotic mouse toy BY FATIMA FARHA STAFF WRITER
Cats are natural hunters. When they are cooped up inside a house that does not let them hunt, they may become agitated and behave in ways that are hostile to their owners and others around them. To combat this problem, three electrical and computer engineering graduate students have created a robotic mouse called Mousr. The modern cat toy is the fi rst product of a start-up company called Petronics, founded by ECE students Michael Friedman, Dave Cohen and David Jun. F riedman said the mouse will behave like a real mouse, giving cats the chance to behave the way they naturally would. “This gives them a chance to really hunt something that moves with intelligence as opposed to something like current electronic toys that just sit and spin around randomly,” Friedman said. “And, it’ll move according to how the cat chases it.” After attending a fourmonth crash course in China, the group built the fi rst prototype in 2013, which they introduced to their own cats. Jun said Mousr is actually aware of its surroundings, something that elec-
tronic toys have never been able to do. According to Cohen, the cat can feel like it is hunting, as opposed to when it plays with its owner. “Even when you play with your cat you’ll get them a lot more excited, but our belief is that they still know that they are playing,” Cohen said. “It’s still not the same thing as hunting because they can see you playing, and it’s a game for them.” The students agree that the project has required more than just engineering. Particularly, the group said business and marketing are what will help Mousr thrive. To help push Mousr into the global market, Petronics is using Kickstarter, which allows them to raise funds from the public by advertising the device online. With its Kickstarter, Petronics hopes to gain sufficient funding for its project to further develop it. As of print time, the team has reached their goal of $100,000 in funding with almost 800 backers on the project and five days left of the campaign. The website includes background information about the device, the progress the design has made so far and photos to advertise the product, along with a video showing the latest
product, and a sadly hilarious series of depressed cats with their current toys. According to the website, Mousr is “the most engaging cat toy ever built. Period.” Kickstarter incorporates a concept called crowdsourcing, which brings together thousands of users to work toward a large goal that would be impossible for an individual. “None of us have this kind of cash,” Jun said. “But if you open it up to the Internet, and a thousand people can donate $10 or $20, and all of a sudden you would get the kind of capital you need to make this a reality.” Since advertising their device online, Cohen said they have found Mousr is something people want to support. “Being able to see all these people who we don’t know looking at this thing and putting down a hundred dollars or more for a toy for their cat is really cool and it’s validating what we’re doing, and we’re really onto something that people want to see in their homes,” Cohen said. Other ECE graduate students, such as Andres Guzman-Ballen have supported the project through donations and hope to see it grow. “By having a robot that

Severance denied for Wilson BY STEVE GIEGERICH TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
FERGUSON, Mo. — Mayor James Knowles III Sunday announced measures intended to increase the minority presence in the police force, open a dialogue between residents and law enforcement and encourage more officers to reside in Ferguson. In a message directed at activists continuing to protest the death of Michael Brown, Knowles said that the city will not award a severance package to Darren Wilson, the Ferguson officer who resigned Saturday nearly four months after shooting Brown on a Ferguson street. “As far as the city of Ferguson is concerned we have now severed ties with Officer Darren Wilson,” the mayor said at a news conference. “It is important for us to talk about issues directly related to the city of Ferguson and what issues we can directly address as a city moving forward to bring our community together.” Knowles said Wilson informed Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson of the resignation by telephone. A res-
ignation letter was delivered to the city attorney Saturday night, several hours after Wilson’s lawyers released its contents to the news media. A decision by a St. Louis County grand jury not to file criminal charges against Wilson in Brown’s death sparked renewed rioting Monday night. Demonstrations in the ensuing days — including protests at area shopping malls over the holiday weekend — have remained mostly peaceful. Knowles listed a series of initiatives the city is undertaking to “bridge the gap” between members of the community “who feel there is a divide between them and law enforcement.” Chief among those steps is a previously announced civilian review board, comprising residents, business owners and law enforcement, to address grievances arising from interactions between police and residents. Knowles also said the city will redouble its effort to recruit minority officers through a tuition agreement with the police academy. Knowles indicated he is not

We hope that will help bring the community of Ferguson together, and I hope others will start to recognize that going forward.” In a statement issued Sat-
urday night, a group of local activists announced they have no intention of slowing a movement dedicated to what they believe is gaining justice on behalf of Brown. “While we feel pain and anger along with many other members of the community, we have not participated in and will not participate in acts of violence against people or damage to local businesses,” the statement says. “We will continue to protest peacefully and look for ways in which we can help enact changes and improvements in our community.”
Little San Juan county bans GMO crops State’s lawmakers debate labeling, banning GMOs BY BRIAN J. CANTWELL TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Maybe not since the Pig War has a San Juan Islands farmer caused such a rhubarb. Of course, that little 19th century border dispute didn’t get a lot of press beyond the swirling kelp beds of Rosario Strait. In 2012, a humble farmer in the off-the-beaten-track archipelago fired another shot — purely a political one this time — in the form of a citizen initiative. Like the fi rst skirmish, it raised few eyebrows. But it might help shape Northwest agriculture. The subject: GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, and the crops grown from them. Depending on who’s talking, either GMOs will save the world from climate change and feed human-

VETERANS money for the center over the past two years through fundraisers, including the Illini Veterans Memorial 5K held in April. “We see it as a place that is a national resource,” Kostelecky said. “We hope to and expect to serve wounded and disabled veterans from all over the country.” Kostelecky said this center will provide a “comprehensive, holistic” service to the veterans, not only assisting them in academ-
ity — all 9.6 billion of us, as projected by 2050 — or they’ll corrupt the natural order and bring the “Silent Spring” that much sooner. From San Juan County the crop ban has spread to Oregon, where two counties passed bans in May. In the past year lawmakers in Connecticut, Maine and Vermont passed measures aimed at labeling of GMO foods. Labeling is the same issue that last fall in Washington state generated a record $21 million “no” campaign — bankrolled by such large companies as Monsanto and Coca-Cola — before 51 percent of voters rejected the idea (the same margin as in California a year earlier). The defeat was even narrower this month in Oregon, where the issue again attracted record spending. When Lopez Islander Ken Akopiantz filed his San Juan County initiative in 2012, he just wanted to protect the purity of bucolic spreads.. Yet the Union of Concerned Scientists warns about the potential for new ics, but also helping them learn to adjust to the challenges presented by their disabilities. He also said the third floor of the building will be able to house up to a dozen of wounded veterans that need care throughout the day, while the center continues to support 150 to 165 more students not in need of persistent care. “There’s no other center in the country, at any University, that does anything like this,” Kostelecky said.

California’s Proposition 47 floods courts with pleas for resentencing California’s Proposition 47, a ballot measure that reduced penalties for certain crimes, has already led to the release of hundreds of jail and prison inmates statewide and inundated courts with scores of applications from people who want their records cleansed of felonies. The retroactive measure
reduced several nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors — slashing sentences for those in prison — and made it possible for people who were convicted decades ago to have their felony records disappear. Judges expect that tens of thousands of Californians may seek to have felony convictions reduced.
Chicago Nordstrom store reopens after Black Friday murder-suicide To those shopping at the Nordstrom department store off North Michigan Avenue Sunday, it was just a normal day at the luxury department store.

US should develop a new generation of hydrogen bombs, many experts say Two decades after the U.S. began to scale back its nuclear forces after the Cold War, a number of military strategists, scientists and congressional leaders are calling for a new generation of hydrogen bombs. Warheads in the nation’s stockpile are an average of
27 years old, raising serious concerns about their reliability, they say. Provocative nuclear threats by Russian President Vladimir Putin have added to the pressure to not only design new weapons, but also to conduct underground tests for the first time since 1992.

The 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, which ended Sunday, extended Florida’s increasingly remarkable run: For the ninth straight year, the longest stretch on record, not a single hurricane struck the state. It’s the kind of lucky

Scientists say worried over what climate change means for sea life The shellfi sh pathogen that hit California’s Channel Islands in the 1980s began to quickly kill one of the tideland’s most important animals — black abalone. But what unnerved scientists was what they learned next: Whenever ocean waters grew warmer, the deadly infection known
as withering syndrome spread and killed even more abalone. By the 2000s, this phenomenon had helped transform black abalone into an endangered species—and a symbol of how much climate change may one day influence the spread of marine diseases.

Mix up your major and minor
A
s students pursuing degrees in a wide array of different fields, we take our classes and our educations seriously. Many of us come in to the University with intended areas of study and potential plans for future success. Among one of the many decisions we make when pursuing a major is whether we ought to declare a minor to accompany our major or whether we should enter more than one area of study. Minors are an invaluable addition to any student’s academic experience and can be a way to diversify his or her education. With about 80 minors to choose from at the University, many students do take advantage of this academic opportunity. Often, though, it seems students have a preconception that a minor or other coursework should correlate specifically with a given major, or that what they are studying here must be focused into some narrow tunnel, aimed in one direction. However, that is not necessarily the case. And based on a recent article from The Daily Illini, others are adopting this mindset as well. Having an interdisciplinary education and studying in two seemingly unrelated fields can do nothing but enhance students’ well-roundedness and readiness for the workforce later on. Many of us might think that if you major in finance, for example, pursuing a minor in business is the natural and most obvious choice. Or if you major in advertising, a minor in communications might contribute greatly to your success in advertising. And while combinations of related areas of study are relevant and applicable, and an intelligent choice for many, pursuing areas of study dissimilar from a given major are equally as beneficial to students’ success. Having an interdisciplinary set of skills is something that allows us to be more marketable and can expand our knowledge and understanding of other areas. Good at calculus? Great. Interested in Spanish? Fantastic. Pursue both. Chances are, having both sets of skills will prove worthwhile. As indicated in The Daily Illini, some departments are recognizing the need to acknowledge and expand academic paths. More specifically, there are movements aimed to bridge the apparent gap between arts and science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Typically when thinking of a student majoring in engineering here at the University, we tend not to think that student would, or even should, pursue art as well. Guen Montgomery, art and design advisor, said, “It is necessary to understand your world. STEM majors are intertwined with arts so closely. Artists are helping to create our world; they are helping to create the media that we consume. And I think that if you balance these things, then you understand your world.� We take that a step further and say that broader application of academic fields is relevant to many combinations of academic paths. By diversifying classes through pursuing a minor or another concentration, students are able to deviate from their major and gain valuable knowledge that will be vital for future success and adaptability in the workforce.

COLD CRITIQUES
FRIGID FOR FROZEN 2
Standing behind President Obama during this year’s annual turkey pardoning were his teenage daughters Sasha and Malia, whom Elizabeth Lauten, a communications director for a U.S. representative, gave negative attention to. Lauten went on a social media rant about both the girls’ outfit choices and body language in a way that was tasteless and unnecessary. In the girls’ defense, we’re sure they didn’t know the fashion police would be present, and, hey, we were all angsty, crossed-armed teenagers at one point. Word to the wise, Elizabeth: Social media silence is golden.
Idina Menzel, less commonly referred to by John Travolta as Adele Dazeem, recently announced that a Frozen 2 was in the works. While it will be interesting to inevitably see Elsa find a prince or something, it’s a little upsetting that in the list of Pixar’s scheduled releases, all but two of the films are sequels. We would love to see some more original material added to the mix instead of history repeating itself over and over and over again. Our desire to see Frozen 2 is equal to our desire to see Toy Story 4 — very, very low.

REACTION TO FERGUSON
ABC FAMILY’S 25 DAYS OF PERFECT
While many of us were enjoying our comfy, cozy Thanksgiving break, chaos ensued in other parts of the country. Early last week, a St. Louis County grand jury came to the decision not to indict Darren Wilson, a Missouri police officer responsible for the shooting of African-American teenager Michael Brown over the summer. Protests and riots erupted in many cities across the country, including Chicago. While we respect everyone’s right to react to this major event and shed light on prevalent tensions in this country, we wish to emphasize the importance of safety and civility in the midst the mayhem.
It’s finally December which means the start to the best holiday season ever — delicious food, shopping and cold weather as the perfect excuse to never leave our couches. But the holidays wouldn’t be the same without ABC Family’s “25 Days of Christmas� where they air some of our favorite holiday movies (as well as some extremely corny and poorly directed made-for-TV movies — but we’ll ignore those). The festivities kick off at 3 p.m. tonight, but the real draw is “Elf� tonight at seven. Make sure you have your syrup-covered spaghetti and loads of hot cocoa ready.
Fight for your own safety, learn self-defense EMMA GOODWIN Opinions columnist
A
few weeks ago at my sorority chapter, we had a special guest speaker: University police officer Ryan Snow. He came to talk to us about self-defense during attacks and possible instances of sexual assault. At one point, he asked us if we wore heels and skirts when we went out. My stomach immediately hit the floor — I was not about to sit through a lecture of him telling us that sexual assault is a woman’s fault if she’s wearing a certain type of clothing, which seems to be a pattern. But that’s not the direction he was headed, luckily. Instead, he asked us to consider how that would affect us if we were under attack. For example, do we think we would be able to run away easily with heels on? When our answer was no, he nodded in agreement. But then he explained: That doesn’t mean don’t wear heels out, necessarily, but if you do, don’t use running as your defense mechanism. A heel is pretty effective when you use it for defensive
stomping, after all. A talk I was initially nervous about ended up teaching me the importance of selfdefense and taking my safety into my own hands. It’s impossible to rely on others to save you before an attack happens. Instead, we have to start relying on ourselves to combat potential attackers. Acts of aggression seem to be approached with “Oh, it won’t happen to me� attitudes. But, in reality, University Crime Alerts seem to be sent out quite frequently to students, and, furthermore, it is said that one in four college females will be sexually assaulted. I realized how utterly unprepared I was if I were ever attacked — both in cases of sexual assault and battery or robbery. Officer Snow’s talk made me think about the importance of standing up for myself if I ever found myself in a dangerous situation. For both men and women, this unpreparedness is nervewracking. Being unprepared for an attack leaves one vulnerable to becoming a victim. The statistics tell us how omnipresent acts of assault are. While people will graduate from college without ever being assaulted, I doubt that
anyone will graduate without ever feeling nervous about a potential attack. Heck, if someone is walking behind me on the street, I take my phone out and make a fake call. It’s important to know what we’re going to do in case that initial nervousness turns into actual threatening danger. We have the opportunity to save ourselves from life-threatening situations and situations that will eternally haunt us. Instead of being made victims, we can be our own heroes. In an ideal world, sexual assault, or attack education in general, would consist of the phrase “don’t assault and attack people.� Everyone would hear it, learn it and live it. But since that doesn’t seem to be happening, and it isn’t a foolproof defense, I think it’s time that we start taking our safety into our own hands. Just recently, a crime alert was emailed to the University student body about an oncampus attack. After stealing the victim’s purse, “the victim chased the offender and he dropped the purse after he slipped and fell near the Vivarium Building (606 E. Healey Street, Champaign). The victim then kicked the offender in the face.�
This is a perfect example of someone relying on their own power to fend off an offender — a person rescuing themselves. With so many different selfdefense strategies, it’s not that hard to find ways to defend yourself that you’re personally comfortable with. This can be as easy as arming yourself with pepper spray or as planned as moves you learned in a self-defense class. Or, like Officer Snow taught us, using the heels on our shoes. Maybe a combination of all of these. Campus police even offer self-defense classes for both men and women to teach selfdefense preparedness. I don’t want to be a victim. I want to be able to save myself from situations. Relying on other people not to attack me doesn’t make me progressive or forward-thinking. It makes me ill-prepared and ignorant. If we take our safety into our own hands, we have the opportunity to try to save ourselves if and when an attack happens. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather try to put up a fight than automatically be made a victim.

Ferguson shows ignorance thrives on social media BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist
T
his week, social media played one of the most important and illuminating roles in current events thus far. Facebook and Twitter exploded after news that the grand jury of the Ferguson, Missouri case ruled not to indict a police officer after shooting an unarmed 18 year old, Michael Brown. Though it is certainly arguable to infinite ends now that the case evidence has been released (and seemingly everyone is an expert), the decision of the grand jury in Missouri not to take this case to trial is final. The 12 members of the jury spent time looking at evidence more thoroughly than I will ever be able to, and thus this column is not going to try to examine evidence to prove a point contrary to what the jury decided. Of course, the news channels flocked to cover Ferguson like it was a war zone or pre-game at the Super Bowl, and the population followed suit, taking strident stances on starkly opposing ideological sides. Another unarmed black man was shot and killed by the police, and in a city that is already the sixth most segregated city in the United
States, racial tensions started to explode. In the inevitable firestorm of political commentary that followed the verdict announcement, I learned that there is a sadly sizeable portion of my Facebook acquaintances who apparently have no memory of the Civil Rights era, and one Facebook friend even stated that the police should turn the water cannons on the protestors in Ferguson — a clear reference to brutal police tactics used in Birmingham, Alabama during the Civil Rights movement. That comment got eight “likes� on Facebook. Think about that for a second — this is a tactic that was employed by cruel police chiefs to oppress African-Americans’ political advancement in the 1960s and upon its invocation in a modern context, it was “liked� by this particular Facebook audience more than it was opposed. I don’t know if the person who posted this comment (and those who subsequently supported it) never paid attention in any history class after second grade, or if they just live in a literal bubble, but either way, this is one of many obscene instances that occurred following the verdict announcement played on the field of social media. Posting something like this to Facebook or Twitter, with
no inkling of historical context or prior research, is almost unthinkable. All students see idiotic opinions posted to Facebook every day, but when it gets racial, I’ve realized that maybe Facebook and Twitter are an outlet to be used sparingly when it comes to large, controversial issues. Too many people say blatantly inaccurate and provocative things across these mediums — and too often, it’s considered a source of news. What one can gather from the reaction, however, is that we (myself included) are quick to form opinions or leave comments about things we haven’t really had the chance to examine. I believe wholeheartedly in the idea that we should all be able to post whatever we want to our own personal forums — I like to write, and Facebook and Twitter provide an instant outlet for that. After this week, though, when I found out through social media that many of my friends can’t even admit that white privilege exists or understand basic important aspects of history from 50 years ago, perhaps the instantaneous nature of these sites does more harm than it does good. However, many of our social media behaviors are indicative of an underlying problem — racial tensions in America still absolutely exist, and we are far
from a post-racial society. If we don’t recognize our problem, there’s no way we can fix it, and thus, if you posted to Facebook suggesting that police turn water cannons on protestors, you are part of the problem. If you are someone who posted to Facebook perpetuating this ignorance by referring to all protestors, peaceful or not, as “thugs� or “pieces of trash� (as I saw from two separate friends), you, too, are a part of the problem. If you deny that there is a problem, you’re part of the problem. If social media’s response to Ferguson has taught me one thing, it’s that what’s really important isn’t debating about the specifics of a case none of us will probably fully understand (especially when the details are a little fuzzy), but, rather, admitting and focusing on fixing broader, more systemic problems that Ferguson has illuminated. We need changes that address police brutality, militarism and transparency alike, but by unfortunate coincidence, these larger problems often times get obscured, no matter how badly we need them, and social media is often not of any help.

Sugar by Sarah aims to satisfy C-U sweet tooths BY ALEXANDER VASSILIADIS STAFF WRITER
Chocolate peppermint crunch, salted caramel, chocolate ganache and lemon ginger. These are only a handful of the flavors of French macarons that Sarah Heller, Champaign-Urbana native, makes and sells at her business — Sugar by Sarah. Sugar by Sarah operates primarily out of the yearround Urbana Market, located at Lincoln Square Mall in downtown Urbana, and sells various baked desserts, such as macarons, cookies and cakes. In addition to the market, Heller takes orders via phone, text messages and email for both mass orders and private events like showers and weddings. While her French macarons are the money makers, Heller’s passion lies elsewhere, she said. Cake and cookie decorating is at the core of her love for baking. She bakes and decorates cakes and cookies for special events like showers and weddings. “I consider my cakes and cookies to be a different sort of medium for my creativity,� Heller said. “The cake is a canvas. I can draw little tiny details or big sweeping designs. The decoration of a cake or a cookie is so much more versatile than baking a macaron.� Heller got degrees in English and music from the University of Iowa. Following college, she worked multiple jobs, including copy editor at Source Books and a high-school English teacher. She was given the opportunity to pursue baking at the Urbana Farmer’s Market in summer 2013. She was a fulltime teacher at the time and
baking was simply a hobby; however, her products sold quickly with overwhelmingly positive feedback from all customers. “It took off really fast and about mid-July of the same summer, I realized I had to make a choice: either keep baking as a hobby and teach full time or make baking a full time job,� Heller said. Heller chose baking, and Sugar by Sarah was born. Heller started the business out of her home at first and worked under the Cottage Food Act. Since then, she has been able to obtain a commercial kitchen, increasing her output tenfold, she said. “It’s still just me,� Heller said. “Sometimes I even make my husband do the dishes.� Heller’s husband, Sid Majumdar, helps out with the baking from time to time. “I do occasionally mix the dry ingredients for the French macarons, but that’s it as far as food prep,� Majumdar said. “Mostly I just do dishes and help with sales.� Heller primarily sells French macarons at the Farmer’s Market during the summer and the Urbana Holiday Market in December. She is able to set up at the markets with textured table linens, glasses and cake stands. She creates a type of boutique feeling, almost as if one has just walked into a traditional French bakery. “I put a lot of work into making sure my macarons are authentic; the texture and the presentation,� Heller said. “There aren’t many places one can buy French macarons in Central Illinois, and I’ve had a lot of positive feedback from people who have been to Paris and New York in stores that sell solely

French macarons.� Heller’s main demographic of customers are females between 18 and 35 years old, she said. She caters to her customers with a very personal approach. Heller said she typically has customers buy a macaron at her booth, and two days later she will receive a text asking for a mass order. There is no online order process or any typical business setting that requires a phone call to place an order. This works for her because Heller boasts accessibility. “I am not at all picky about my business. I have no problem taking orders over Facebook, text messages and even emails,� she said. Katie Bogner had her wedding in August and employed Sugar by Sarah to provide the deserts for the wedding. Heller was able to make a dessert table with three flavors of macarons, two flavors of cake pops, mini-vanilla cupcakes, sugar cookies and a small cake for cutting. “We gave her samples of our wedding colors, and she matched them perfectly,� Bogner said. “She even made tiny pinwheel decorations for the cookies that matched our center pieces.� Heller said she hopes to have a kitchen with a dessert counter open on Fridays and Saturdays in the future. The rest of the time she would spend working on orders for special events like showers and weddings. “I think Sarah is happiest doing sugar cookies and cakes, particularly those where she can flex her artistic muscle,� Majumdar said.

Campus Smart Girls Group New RSO aims to help women encourage and support others BY MADELINE GALASSI STAFF WRITER
With powerful women and celebrities constantly preaching feminism and female empowerment, it seems as if it is the season’s hottest trend. The University certainly hasn’t missed out on it. A new registered student organization, Smart Girls Group (SGG), has been started on campus with the goal to inspire, power and unite women. The group’s self-proclaimed purpose is “a onestop shop that arms young women with the tools they need to succeed in all facets of life,� according to their Facebook page.

In April of 2012, she published a digital magazine called “Smart Girls Guide,� and it continued to grow across the country. “The group was started to create a community of girls that can be together and encourage each other to pursue goals, so I thought it would be really cool to start a chapter here,� said Ellen Guo, sophomore in LAS. The structure of the group revolves around meetings called “Smart Seminars.� The topics of meetings have ranged from setting goals to networking advice. Guo began the process of creating the RSO this summer, when she contacted the executive members of the Smart Girls Group. “When Ellen first told me about the idea of starting SGG on campus, I thought it was a great idea,� said Kennedy McKay, secretary of the executive board for SGG and sophomore in FAA. “I was very excited after she told me about this opportunity, because SGG is such a unique organization, and I wanted to help start this group as a new RSO. Everything that SGG stands for is incredibly size and a lot of times people of size struggle to find clothes in their size that are still considered stylish,� Storm said. Fashion alone does not create these issues with body images; however, retailers do not necessarily help individuals foster a positive body image, especially when the whole spectrum of sizes aren’t represented in their stores, Hale said.

This makes it simple for anyone with an interest in the group to join. “To join, you literally just join. There are no requirements. Someone who would want to be a member would just go to the Smart Seminars,� Guo said. To stay updated, interested students can like their Facebook page, “Smart Girls Group UIUC.� Smart Girls has created a distinctive opportunity on campus for girls to join together and empower one another while teaching valuable life skills.

Although the new season brings layers and thick sweaters to shield the skin, for some the prospect of having a perfect body is a constant battle that follows them with every season. “I think issues related to body image are year-round,� said Janet Kroencke, assistant director of Student Wellness at the ARC. “It is not something that only comes up in the winter.� Kroencke has worked at Student Wellness at Campus Recreation for almost 16 years. She oversees the ARC Instructional Kitchen Healthy Cooking programs and collaborates with key wellness campus partners surrounding topics such as body image, fitness and healthy eating. The ARC is just one of the prominent resources available to students who face negative body image perceptions on campus. In addition, the Women’s Resources Center works with students and the campus as a whole to combat negative body images. “The Women’s Resources Center offers support to students who may be battling negative body image,� said Rachel Storm, assistant director of the Women’s Resources Center. “We have a lot of different programs that address body image, and students can always come here for that support.� While students have several outlets available to them to combat low self-esteem and negative body image perceptions, Alexis Hale, store manager of Urban Outfitters, believes the trick to feeling good about oneself is understanding what one’s best qualities are and using fashion to compliment them. “Fashion is great because it is an opportunity to have an influence on how people perceive you,� Hale said. “Fashion can be a way to tell people about yourself, your mood or how you’re feeling, without having to say any words. It is a way to voice your individuality.� Although fashion can be a form of expression, those who battle deep body image challenges may feel like they cannot participate in fashion, Storm said. “(Society) needs to silence the voices around us that tell us we are not good enough and recognize that there is nothing wrong with us,� Storm said. “We need to push back and demand for more representation of bodies of all sizes in the media.�

Volunteers rebuild in Ferguson BY REBECCA JACOBS STAFF WRITER
FERGUSON, MO. — Store windows along Florissant Road in Ferguson, Missouri, are boarded up, but the windows won’t be drab for long. Volunteers are painting the plywood where rioters and looters damaged property the night of Nov. 24 following the grand jury decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the killing of Michael Brown. On Aug. 9, Wilson shot and killed 18-year-old Brown in Ferguson. Following the grand jury decision, some protestors became violent, looting businesses and breaking windows. Now the people of Ferguson are trying to rebuild from the damage done. The morning of Nov. 25, Darcy Edwin, a Ferguson resident, walked with her husband along Florissant Road to see the aftermath of the damage. The couple asked workers at Ferguson Optical if they could

Illini top in-state rival Wildcats BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER
EVANSTON, ILL. — It was nearly gift wrapped for Illinois. The Illini football team became bowl eligible with a 47-33 win over Northwestern on Saturday at Ryan Field – the first time the team has been bowl eligible since 2011. Northwestern entered the game missing a handful of starters — senior quarterback Trevor Siemian, topreceiver Kyle Prater, and defensive backs Traveon Henry, Godwin Igwebuike and Nick VanHoose. The Wildcats were forced to go with junior Zack Oliver, who made his first career start at quarterback, while he was backed up by redshirt freshman Matt Alviti. Illinois forced a seasonhigh five turnovers in the win. Head coach Tim Beckman, whose job was in question in the last half of the season, said Saturday’s win was his most gratifying with the Illini. “These players have bought in,� Beckman said. Illinois opened up the scoring late in the first quarter with a 10-yard pass from quarterback Reilly O’Toole to freshman Malik Turner. Just eight seconds later, Illini defensive back Earnest Thomas III intercepted a pass, and Illinois had the ball again. And just 45 secFOLAKE OSIBODU THE DAILY ILLINI

Beckman proves many wrong in reaching bowl SEAN HAMMOND Sports editor
EVANSTON, ILL. — Say what you want about Illinois football. Say what you want about Tim Beckman. With a 47-33 win over Northwestern in the season finale, Illinois exceeded expectations this season. The Illini are bowl eligible and Beckman should keep his job. Such a statement seemed laughable some two months ago, when Illinois went on a three-game skid that included a loss to a pitiful Purdue team. But it is reality. The Beckman-led Illini are going bowling. Where exactly the game will be and who the opponent is are both yet to be determined.

Illinois’ Reilly O’Toole high fives fans after the game against Northwestern at Ryan Field in Evanston, Ill. on Saturday. The Illini won 47-33.
But does it really matter? The scene after the game was something few predicted. Fans clad in orange and blue clustered along the front rows at Northwestern’s Ryan Field as the team celebrated. Chants of “BECK-MAN, BECK-MAN,� were heard. The Land of Lincoln Trophy was hoisted into the air. It was a euphoria not felt by Illini players and fans in a long time. They have a right to relish the victory over “the team from up north.� Saturday’s game was the quintessential Illinois vs. Northwestern battle. Both teams entered the game 5-6 in a fight to see which mediocre team would reach postseason play. For two programs that have seen their fair share of losing seasons and mediocrity, it was fitting. Illinois quarterback Reilly O’Toole played arguably the best game of his career. He passed for
147 yards and three touchdowns and added another 147 yards with his legs. But it was Illinois’ defense that carried the team in the first half and boosted it out to a 26-7 halftime lead. Illinois caused five turnovers. For a team that came into the game ranked 107th in the nation in turnover margin, that was the difference. At one point in the first half, the Illini forced turnovers on four straight Northwestern possessions. “The ball bounces your way, you’ve got to capitalize,� said linebacker Mason Monheim, who scored a touchdown on a 49-yard interception return in the fourth quarter. “We always preach turnovers. It’s a game changer.� Northwestern made a second half push, pulling within eight, but couldn’t maintain it for long. Monheim’s touchdown all but

Illini volleyball to host 1st 2 rounds of NCAA tournament BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER
While the Illinois volleyball team played its last home match of the regular season on Saturday, the Illini aren’t done in Huff Hall. Illinois (24-7, 16-4 Big Ten) is the No. 9 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and will host the first two rounds at Huff Hall. The Illini will face Murray State on Friday. If the Illini are able to advance, they will face the winner of the Iowa State vs. Western Kentucky matchup on Saturday. The team learned the path it would have to take in the tournament at a selection show viewing party at head coach Kevin Hambly’s house in
Champaign on Sunday. “Teams are afraid to come in and play in front of our crowd. It’s intimidating,� setter Alexis Viliunas said. “I think that’s an advantage for us for sure.� In the Illini’s quadrant of the bracket, the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 will be in Ames, Iowa. If Illinois is able to get to the round of 16, a potential matchup with No. 8 Florida looms. The Gators finished 25-3 and won 20 consecutive matches to close out the season. Headlining the bracket is the No. 1 overall seed, Stanford, whom the Illini lost to in five sets on Sept. 7. “I thought we’d be a nine or 10,� head coach Kevin Hambly said of the seeding.
“There’s some land mines for all of us, but we’re focused on Murray State.� Six Big Ten teams made the field of 64, although none are in the Illini’s quadrant of the bracket. Hambly said the familiarity of playing a conference opponent could have made things easier for the Illini. “The thing about Big Ten teams is you know who they are and have good information. For Murray State, we have nothing right now,� Hambly said. “It’s not always bad to play in your conference.�

llinois basketball headed to the Las Vegas Invitational knowing it would receive its first true test of the young season. That test didn’t come Thanksgiving Day, as the Illini easily dispatched Indiana State 88- 62 in the first round of the tournament. It came on Friday, in the form of the previously undefeated Baylor Bears. The Bears entered Friday’s matchup with the Illini at 5-0, following a blowout win over Memphis late Thursday. In the end, Illinois overcame a cold shooting night and an athletic Baylor squad to win 62-54 and remain undefeated at 6-0. The win clinched the tournament championship in front of a large pro-Illini crowd in Vegas. Thursday’s Indiana State win pushed Illinois to 5-0, marking five straight games for the Illini against clearly inferior opponents. Credit them for taking care of business, and the quality of Illini opponents essentially improved incrementally leading into the Bay-
lor matchup. There’s no question the Bears were the first big step up in competition for Illinois. Baylor proved it was the best team Illinois has played so far on Friday night, and came out swinging in the championship game. The Bears jumped to a quick 7-0 lead, and Illinois struggled mightily from the field in the first half. Once again, Rayvonte Rice’s efforts kept the Illini afloat, but Baylor’s zone defense caused major issues for Illinois’ high powered offense. Groce knew Baylor would play zone for most (ended up being the entirety) of the game, but Illinois couldn’t c apit a l i z e off open looks. Malcolm “zonebuster� Hill picked up two early fouls, further hind e r i n g the Illini’s offe n sive efforts. T h e Bears were big, strong and athletic, and predictably killed the Illini on the boards, finishing with a 47-33 rebounding advantage. Rico Gathers finished with 15 rebounds on his own. They were an above average defensive team and dragged Illinois into a slow paced slug fest with their stifling length. Although Baylor took a 25-21 lead into half, they
did not play especially well in the process, committing 10 turnovers in the first 20 minutes. It was clear Illinois was the deeper and more talented team, and you just got the feeling going into half that the shots would start falling and they would grab the lead and not look back. That’s how the narrative played out. Illinois opened the second half with eight straight points and withstood several Baylor runs to shut the door on the Bears behind Hill and Rice, who had 17 points each. As has been the theme this year for the Illini, contributions came from all corners of the floor in their winning effort. Nnanna Egwu was a s t u d defensively (a g a i n ) . L e r o n B l a c k provided energy and six points off the bench. Ahmad Starks hit a pair of big threes and showed off his underrated passing ability with a thunderous alley-oop to Rice and clutch dishes in the lane. Kendrick Nunn again was the perfect X factor, as the sixth man played aggressive defense and finished with seven crucial points.
There’s no question the Bears were the first big step up in competition for Illinois.

Illini volleyball ends season on 3-win streak Team’s focus turns toward NCAA tournament BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER
The Illinois volleyball team ended its regular season on a high note. The No. 11 Illini went 3-0 in their fi nal three matches of the regular season. Illinois (23-7, 15-4 Big Ten) swept Indiana (15-17, 6-14) Nov. 22 on the road and came away with both a five-set victory over No. 10 Nebraska on Wednesday and a fourset win against Michigan on Saturday at Huff Hall. Hambly said the team improved defensively over its last three matches and the Illini learned how to adapt quicker, two skills Illinois will need if it wants to make a run in the NCAA tournament. “It will come down to how fast can you figure teams out and defend,” Hambly said. “Can you pick the lock fast enough to give yourself a chance to win?” Against the Cornhuskers on Wednesday, the Illini proved they could adapt to both injury and illness during the course of a match.
Eight players from the Illini bench saw action against Nebraska as Hambly fiddled with the Illini lineup. Jocelynn Birks left the match in the fifth set with a knee injury that proved to be nothing serious. Her replacement, Morganne Criswell, was recovering on the bench from her own knee injury. Jocelynn made her return in the game against Michigan. Junior setter Alexis Viliunas’ play in the match was hindered by the flu. Illinois and Nebraska (209, 14-6) split the fi rst four sets Wednesday. The Illini took the first and third sets with scores of 25-16 and 25-18, respectively, and the Cornhuskers won the second set 22-25. Nebraska negated the 2-1 Illinois set lead and answered back in the fourth set, winning it by a score of 24-26. Even without Birks, who led the Illini with 22 kills and 10 digs in the match, Illinois fi nished the match and took care of Nebraska in the fifth set by a score of 15-10. Hambly saw the bright side in the Illini being banged up against the Cornhuskers. He said the experience gained by the eight

Missing Ohio State football player found dead BY LAURA ARENSCHIELD AND BILL RABINOWITZ TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Columbus police say a body found this afternoon in the University District is that of missing Ohio State football player Kosta Karageorge. He apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A search had been ongoing for Karageorge, who had been missing since walking out of his E. 7th Avenue apartment around 2 a.m. Wednesday. The body found today was near that location.
Karageorge’s body was found in a dumpster at 6th Avenue and Courtland Avenue in the University District section of Columbus. A 911 caller informed police of the discovery. Police said he died of a single gunshot wound that appears to be self-inflicted. The gun was found in the dumpster. Karageorge’s body was identified in part because of his tattoos. The walk-on senior defensive lineman was reported missing by his family after
he left his apartment about 2 a.m. Wednesday. Shortly before he left, he sent a text to his mother apologizing “ if I am an embarrassment, but these concussions have my head all f---ed up.” Karageorge, 22, graduated from Thomas Worthington High School and wrestled for three years as a Buckeye before joining the football team in August. He appeared in one game, against Penn State. When Karageorge did not show up for practice Wednes-
day and then Thursday, the team and his family grew more concerned. On Friday, about 150 people held a search party in Grandview Heights organized by Jeremiah Webber, who was Karageorge’s wrestling coach at Thomas Worthington. That was near the location that police last detected the GPS from Karageorge’s phone. Karageorge would have been one of 24 seniors recognized at Ohio Stadium on Saturday before their final home
game against Michigan. After the other seniors were introduced, a picture of Karageorge was shown on the stadium’s video board, asking for help finding him. In postgame interviews, his teammates expressed hope that he would be found safe. “It’s very tough because Kosta was one of those guys who did whatever we needed,” defensive tackle Adolphus Washington said on Saturday. “If we needed a look as a D-line, he would play
offense to give us that look. “It’s hard to move on through the week knowing we don’t know where he is. He’s one of our brothers and it’s just hard.” Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer was asked this afternoon on a teleconference for the Big Ten championship game about Karageorge. He said that he had talked with someone close to the family and that there were no updates. About an hour later, the 911 call came.

The Illini were able to force four turnovers on four-straight Wildcat drives during a 19-0 run in the first half.

Bowl game to be determined
FROM 1B
BASKETBALL And don’t forget Austin Colbert, who made his fi rst appearance off the bench late in the second half and helped stop Baylor’s fi nal push. The Bears were on a 7-0 run when Colbert snagged an offensive rebound and converted a put back bucket to give the Illini a five point lead. When the threes aren’t raining down for the Illini — and they certainly weren’t Friday — that’s how they’ll win games: Toughness, grit and everyone chipping in. But make no mistake, this game belonged to Rice and Hill once again. Thursday’s Indiana State game saw the duo combine for 38 points and 15 rebounds, and the Baylor contest saw more of the same. Rice and Hill combined for 34, including a late 3 pointer and then a driving, old fashioned left handed 3 point play from Hill to help seal the game. So what does this victory mean? For starters, it means Illinois passed its fi rst big test. Baylor was a solid team that has potential to make noise in the Big 12 this year and will
likely be a fringe NCAA tournament team. Yes, they were missing starting point guard Kenny Cherry due to a foot injury. But if a Baylor fan tries to play the Cherry injury card, you can whip out a Tracy Abrams injury card of your own. The win also means the Illini had enough to maneuver around a bad matchup on paper. Baylor’s strengths — zone defense and rebounding — have proven to be two of Illinois’ weaknesses so far. It’s encouraging that the Illini were able to overcome a rough 3 point (6-for23) and free throw (10-for18) shooting night to stay undefeated. However, Groce and his players can only gaze at the hardware they’re bringing home from Vegas for so long. A Tuesday matchup with No. 17 Miami in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge awaits. It will be another uptick in competition for the Illini, and another chance to prove to the country that they’re for real.

QUARTERBACK
O’Toole leads Illini to victory, bowl eligibility BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER
EVANSTON, ILL. — A throng of fans greeted Reilly O’Toole after the seasonending victory. They waited in the stands. They waited by the stairs and by the pavement path leading to the visiting locker room. Security held them back, but the sound of his name echoed as he went down the line of fans and gave high fives. The big grin that started on the sidelines as the clock ticked down never left his face. Even in the postgame interviews. It was under the guidance of O’Toole and running back Josh Ferguson that the Illini sealed a 47-33 rivalry victory at Northwestern at Ryan Field. Illinois walked away with the Land of Lincoln Trophy and a bowl game berth. Illinois had its best rushing game of the entire season with 291 yards. “I think it was the best 60 minutes we’ve played all year,” O’Toole said. “And it’s a great time to do so at the end of the year.” O’Toole went 17-for-28 passing with 147 yards, one interception and three touchdowns. But he added to that with a career-high 147 rushing yards on 21 carries. Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said O’Toole knew the team had faith in him and fi nally showed that he cut down on his mistakes. “He would do good things, but he would always make the big mistake,” Cubit said. “Well, he’s not making big mistakes anymore.” For freshman Mike Dudek, the feeling of winning hadn’t set in right after the game. He credits O’Toole with leading the team. Dudek fi nished with a team-high 63 receiving yards and one touchdown on seven catches. “It was awesome; you

The Wildcats went on to commit turnovers on four straight drives — a pair of interceptions and fumbles that led to three Illinois scores to make it 19-0. Northwestern couldn’t capitalize on opportunities and momentum shifts throughout the game. The Wildcats ran back an 89-yard kick return for a touchdown in the second quarter. Then, Northwestern allowed the Illini to extend their lead to 26-7 at the half on an 82-yard touchdown drive led by O’Toole.

O’Toole credited the offensive blocking for career-high 147 rushing yards. “It’s pretty evident that I’m not fast, so if you see me in the open field, it’s got to be because of blocking of some sort,” O’Toole said. “I was just running my slow self 10 yards down the field.” The Wildcats picked off O’Toole on the first play of
could just see the fight he had,” Dudek said. “He’s been a backup his whole career and these past two weeks, he’s just come out and given it everything he’s got. He really put the team on his back today and led us to a victory.” Josh Ferguson was another huge player in the run game. Ferguson sat out the first quarter last week against Penn State and carried the ball only five times for just nine rushing yards. But this week, Ferguson added spark to the Illini offense and was second in the teams rushing and receiving yards. Ferguson fi nished the game with 95 rushing yards on 15 carries and had two touchdowns. He added 37 receiving yards on two catches. Ferguson said O’Toole and his rushing yards allowed the team’s running game to really do well. “It’s tough to guard,” he said. “It makes the running game a lot smoother for the running backs when you have a quarterback who can run.” Ferguson said the team was fi nally able to turn a claim into a fact. “This is our state, our team. Whenever we play Northwestern, we should be able to beat them. Today was just a product of all our hard work,” Ferguson said. But for the two, their contribution was clearly about the team and taking a rivalry victory. It was about the chance to keep playing and to prove wrong those who didn’t believe a bowl game was possible just weeks ago. “This group of guys, nothing much had to be said,” O’Toole said. “We’ve worked so hard; to give up - that would be disgraceful.”

But Northwestern had to settle for a field goal and let Illinois score another touchdown five minutes later for a 33-10 lead. And when Northwestern running back Justin Johnson cut the Illini lead to just eight with back-to-back touchdowns, Ferguson answered with a 46-yarder of his own. The Illini linebacker Mason Monheim took a 49-yard interception back for a touchdown to ice the game. Monheim said this is the most confident the Illinois defense has played in years, while lineman Jihad Ward — who recovered a fumble in the second quarter — said it was the happiest he’s ever been. “I believed I would go to a bowl game, so I knew we were going to win the game,” Ward said. Beckman expressed his pride for the Illini seniors who extended their careers by one more game with Saturday’s win. Even more important, the Illini’s sixth win to reach bowl eligibility came against the team’s biggest rival.

Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini is seen on the sidelines in the second half against Michigan. The Michigan Wolverines defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 45-17, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Nov. 19, 2011. Pelini was fired on Sunday after leading the Cornhuskers to a 9-3 season.

The meet started with a heavyweight bout featuring the Illini’s Brooks Black and Lehigh’s Douglas Vollaro. After the third period, the match was knotted up at one point apiece, but Vollaro registered a takedown in overtime and ultimately defeated Black 3-1. For the second straight meet, three-time All-American Jesse Delgado did not participate due to an undisclosed injury, forcing the Illini to forfeit the 125 pound match. “Jesse is practicing and rehabbing like we want him to,� Heffernan said. “Jesse is a special kid, and he’s

The weekend following Thanksgiving typically marks the beginning of Christmas festivities, but there wasn’t much holiday cheer to be found in Huff Hall Saturday. The No. 9-ranked Illinois wrestling team suffered its fi rst dual meet loss of the season, upset 24-15 by No. 18 Lehigh. Lehigh is the most talented squad the Illini have faced in a dual meet this season, boasting a starting lineup with multiple nationally-ranked individual wrestlers. Illinois head coach Jim Heffernan was well aware his team would be tested on the mats at every weight class. “They’re a talented, wellcoached bunch,� Heffernan said. “We knew coming in
a smart kid. We just don’t want to take any chances this early in the season.� After Dominic Olivieri lost a 6-3 decision to fi fthranked Mason Beckman at 133 pounds and at 141 pounds, Steven Rodrigues found himself pinned beneath Lehigh’s Randy Cruz just 90 seconds into the match, Illinois faced a 18-0 deficit just halfway through the meet. “You just can’t fi nd yourself on your back in a meet like this,� Hefferna said. “We started too slow, we can’t wait until the third period to score.� Luckily, a surge from the Illini middleweights made the meet interesting. Kyle Langenderfer registered the fi rst win for the Illini, besting Lehigh’s Drew Longo in a 17-7 major decision. Shortly after, sixth-ranked
and undefeated Isiah Martinez scored a 25-9 technical fall against William Switzer. A pair of nationally ranked upperclassmen in Jackson Morse and Zac Brunson soon followed Martinez’s victory with two minor decision wins of their own to bring the team scores to 18-15. Illinois’ 15 unanswered points ultimately were in vain. The early 18-point hole proved to be just too much to overcome as Illini Nikko Reyes and Jeff Koepke lost the fi nal two matches of the day by a combined total of two points. “Those were very winnable matches,� Heffernan said. “We just couldn’t fi nish and fi nd a way to win.� Despite losing the meet and bringing an end to Illinois’ winning streak, coach Heffernan acknowledged

Manziel replaces Hoyer for Browns
NHAT V. MEYER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
BUFFALO, NY — Johnny Football couldn’t rescue the Cleveland Browns against the Buffalo Bills. Johnny Manziel, the Browns’ much-hyped rookie quarterback, relieved Brian Hoyer in the fourth quarter and took his team on an eight-play, 80-yard touch-
down drive to bring the Browns within 10 points of the Bills, 20-10. Buffalo, responded with a 10-play, 64-yard drive that ended with a field goal to open a 23-10 lead. On the Browns’ next possession, Manziel appeared to be sacked, fumbling the ball, where it was recovered for a Bills touchdown. After review the play was ruled an incomplete pass.
Raiders suffer historical loss against St. Louis
ST. LOUIS, MO — Any hope of a revival sparked by the fi rst win of the season was obliterated in a historically bad fi rst-half as the Raiders fell 52-0 to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. The Rams scored fi ve touchdowns and a fi eld goal in six possessions and while the Raiders were
busy with three-and-outs and turnovers. The Raiders trailed 38-0 intermission, at which time the Rams had 307 yards on 26 snaps. St. Louis, ranked 27th on offense coming in to the game, had failed to score 20 points in six games this season. The 52-point margin of victory was the secondworst in a regular season game for the Raiders, dating back to a 55-0 loss at Houston in 1961.

ED SUBA JR. TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
The Buffalo Bills defeated the Cleveland Browns, 24-14. Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola (16).
Now that Ray Rice has been reinstated by the NFL, sources with knowledge of the situation said nothing concrete has developed quickly in terms of teams pursuing the former Ravens running back. Although Rice has already been linked to teams, sources said nothing has been arranged as
far as tryouts or visits. Conversations regarding Rice were characterized by sources as preliminary. Sources close to Rice said he has been working out on a regular basis and is in shape and prepared physically and mentally to join a team for the stretch run heading into the playoffs. Rice is also realistic, according to sources, and realizes that playing for a team in 2015 is a more likely scenario.

Jayhawks beat out Spartans at Orlando Classic LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has built a Hall of Fame career and a top-10 program on the hallmarks of rebounding and toughness. On Sunday afternoon in the championship game of the Orlando Classic, the Kansas Jayhawks beat Izzo and the Spartans at their own game. No. 11 Kansas took down No. 20 Michigan State 61-56 in a back-andforth slugfest inside the HP Fieldhouse. Trailing 36-35 at halftime, the Jayhawks outrebounded Michigan State 44-46 and held the Spartans to 24.2 percent shooting in the second half, securing the Jayhawks’ first early-season tournament title since they won the four-team

Michigan State. The Jayhawks reeled off a 12-4 run in the opening minutes of the second half, taking a 47-42 lead with 10:37 left. Kansas had trailed 38-35 after Michigan State’s Branden Dawson opened the second half with a jumper, but the Jayhawks would hold Michigan State without a field goal for the next six minutes. The Ja y h aw k s stretched the lead to 50-44 on another 3-pointer from Mykhailiuk, and then 54-46 on a threepoint play from freshman Cliff Alexander with 7:33 remaining. In the final seconds of the first half, Mykhailiuk buried a three-pointer that sliced the Spartans’ halftime lead to 36-35. Mykhailiuk, a 6-foot-7 freshman, pump-faked once, then stepped to his left, drilling the three as time expired.
The pro-Kansas crowd came to life as the Jayhawks survived a hot half of shooting from Michigan State. The Spartans hit five of eight from 3-point range in the first half. Trailing 7-3 in the early minutes, Michigan State pieced together a 15-5 run to take an 18-12 lead with 11:15 left in the half. The Spartans attacked the lane and made the Jayhawks pay from deep, taking a lead to 23-16 with 8:48 left. However, Kansas responded with a quick 8-0 run; the key bucket coming on a 3-pointer from Mykhailiuk that cut the Michigan State lead to 23-21 with more than seven minutes to play. The Jayhawks then led 24-23 after a three-point play, but Michigan State quickly retook the lead and maintained it for the rest of the half.

Illini finish trip to Virgin Islands with mixed results from the free throw line than they had all season. With just over two minutes left, Kentucky cut the Illinois lead to three points but junior Kyley Simmons closed the win out for Illinois by going 9-of-10 from the free throw line. “I just had to take them one at a time,� Simmons said. “My teammates and coaches give me all the confidence, and I was able to hit them.� Reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Week Chatrice White led the Illini with 23 in the upset. “I think everyone underestimates us,� White said. “I think we made a statement tonight.

BY BRETT LERNER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s basketball team’s trip to the Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam turned out to be a lot like a dysfunctional family vacation. There are many ups and downs of a vacation with the whole family. One day the family is having a great time on the beach, and the next day everyone is arguing over day trip plans. Illinois’ trip followed a similar path over Thanksgiving break, starting out on an all time high for the program, but the Illini finished the tournament at 1-2. The Illini opened the Paradise Jam by defeating No. 9 Kentucky, 77-71. Illinois last beat a ranked team in 2012, but the 5-0 start to this season was something of a rarity. It was the fi rst 5-0 start by an Illinois team in 12 years. The Illini shot better from 3 point range and
ness in a 67-61 loss to USF. The Illini finished the game with 12 fewer rebounds than the Bulls. Bollant pointed to the disparity as one of the main issues. “We had a five point lead in the second half, but they stepped up and made a lot of plays,� Bollant said. “They hit some threes and got to the line and got offensive rebounds, but I thought we showed a lot of heart and a lot of fight. We just didn’t get enough defensive rebounds and that was the difference.� After the fi rst loss of the season, Illinois took another blow. The Illini fell to Oklahoma 78-76 in overtime in their fi nal game of the tournament. The Illini once again got beat on the glass, but Bollant cited a different reason for the loss after his team blew a 10 point lead in the second half. “Late in the game, we got caught up in the end
result and that hurt us,� Bollant said. “Hopefully a learning thing was that one play, one rebound, one not turning the ball over and you see a difference in the game. I thought we played our hearts out to build that lead and put ourselves in that situation, we just didn’t fi nish it unfortunately.� Although Illinois lost twice, another bright spot during the tournament was the play of senior Ivory Crawford, who averaged over 24 points per game. Like any vacation, the Illini will come back home and move forward with a positive experience under their belt. “We learned a lot about ourselves, that we can compete with the very best,� Bollant said. “I don’t think we knew that coming in, so that’s a really good thing.�
