Coors billboards around campus taken down BY JOSH WINTERS STAFF WRITER

MillerCoors may be the official beer sponsor of the University, but do not expect to see any of their billboards around campus. “We just didn’t know, and it wasn’t expressed to us, that they were going to be used on billboards,” said Marty Kaufmann, assistant director of athletics. “They did it on their own, we didn’t know they were going to do it, but they understood our concern.” The University, through the efforts of its advertising partner Learfield Communications and its subsidiary Fighting Illini Sports Properties, entered into a sponsorship with MillerCoors on July 1. While the University has

Students march through campus on Tuesday in a peaceful protest spurred by recent Ferguson events.

Central Black Student Union organizes protest in response to Ferguson events BY ERIC FRIES STAFF WRITER

Hundreds of students took to the streets Tuesday evening to show support for African-Americans on campus and protest the recent events that have unfolded in Ferguson, Missouri. The peaceful march was organized by the Central Black Student Union, which advocates for minorities around campus. After assembling at the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center, the long column of demonstrators marched down Gregory Drive, holding signs and chanting “Black lives matter.” “With the whole Mike Brown situation that’s been going down in Ferguson, I personally feel that justice was not served,” said Michael Idemudia, junior in AHS and member of the Central Black Student Union. ”We feel that something needs to be done

because what happened to Mike Brown could have happened to anybody.” The throng of protestors, while predominately black, included students from various ethnic backgrounds. Crowds gathered on sidewalks to observe and listen to the group. “The whole Ferguson case is a very big deal because this is something that not just affected the Ferguson community, but there are a lot of African-American communities across the country who dealt with cases like this,” said Olabode Oladeinde, senior in AHS and president of the Central Black Student Union. “Police brutality is just something that we need to raise awareness about, because we feel like it’s been going on for way too long.” Participants expressed dissatisfaction with the grand jury’s decision not to indict

Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown. “I feel like (the grand jury decision) was wrong, because regardless of race, the cop wasn’t right or justified in his killing,” said Dy’Min Davis, a freshman in LAS. Oladeinde said he thought the case should definitely have been taken to trial. “I felt like there were a lot of holes in the decision, and a lot of things weren’t considered, like the fact that when a suspect may be fleeing there’s such thing as a kill shot and a stun shot,” Oladeinde said. Tuesday’s protest was peaceful and very little hostility was expressed by demonstrators or onlookers. Police blocked off intersections to ensure safety and a police vehicle followed the group as an escort. The protestors received support from some observ-

startups have early success BY JANE LEE STAFF WRITER

With more than 90 companies at Research Park, over 400 University students are finding hands-on experience with part-time or full-time internships at startups and business incubators. “It has been a great asset to the campus to have these large corporations and startups right here on campus land, contiguous with the main part of the University,” said Laura Frerichs, Research Park director. Frerichs highlighted two companies that have recently found commercial success with their projects: Electroninks and Intelliwheels.

Electroninks Frerichs said Electroninks was started by research that was done through materials science at the University. She said there has been a lot of interest in science technology engineering, math education and teaching children about electronics. E lect ron i nks’ fi rst launched project, Circuit Scribe, is a pen that can draw circuits and has been sold through Electroninks. com and Amazon. Frerichs

said projects that would normally use a breadboard or other types of circuitry to create lights could be done with these pens. The company started a Kickstarter campaign and raised more than $650,000 in pre-sales from their product. “Their goal had been $85,000, so this was a big deal,” Frerichs said. Electroninks also pre-sold 15,000 Circuit Scribes and partnered with Autodesk, the maker of Adobe products, Frerichs said. Alumnus Brett Walker, CEO and cofounder of Electroninks, said the pen has been available for purchase since the launch of the company’s Kickstarter campaign in December 2013. “We’ve sold approximately 1.2 million in sales of the Circuit Scribe pen in total. We actually just started shipping as of August of this year,” Walker said.

Intelliwheels Marissa Siebel, cofounder of Intelliwheels and Ph.D. student, said she began the company with alumnus Scott Daigle when he was a mechanical engineering student working in a wheelchair compulsion lab within AHS. It was Daigle’s idea to add gears to manual wheelchairs. During that time, Siebel was working with the Illinois Wheelchair Athletics

ers, who cheered them on as they passed. On Green Street, a group of people yelled encouragement from a second-story window. Demonstrators felt that the peaceful nature of the protests was important. Instead of violent tactics like looting, which has occurred in Ferguson, Davis said if people aim to have a positive impact and stand together, things will get better. Idemudia felt similarly about the actions taken by protestors in Ferguson. “I support the protests because I know that most of them were peaceful. However, the riots I don’t support, I don’t feel like anyone supports them,” Idemudia said. “I feel like people who partook in the riots were doing it for themselves rather than for the cause.”

program. The two combined her knowledge of wheelchairs with Daigle’s innovation to form a team. I ntelliwheels’ fully geared wheelchair is developed from the idea of a gear reduction system and will potentially cost between $500 and $700 for consumers. In August, the company received a $1.5 million grant from the National Institute of Health, which Siebel said will be used to develop the business. “Our product that we currently have out is a gear reduction system and it is just as if you were to downshift on your bike to make it easier to pedal when you go uphill,” Siebel said. She said this is useful for older people that have a hard time pushing themselves because it enables them to be independent and not have to rely on others to push them. Intelliwheels consistently works with groups of students from the University, Siebel said, to give them

of Public Health. Joe Trotter, prevention lead agent at the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, said Illinois could be ranked high because there are more facilities for individuals with AIDS to get tested in Illinois than other states. Trotter said Illinois has good access to HIV treatment, and he has heard of cases where people have tested HIV-positive in another state and moved to Illinois to receive better care. Another factor, Trotter

internship opportunities. The company has worked with teams of students from the Technology Management Program within the College of Business and with students who helped Intelliwheels build different structures of human resources and labor relations. “We have worked with a bunch of different student teams,” said Siebel. “We’ve recently hired two more engineers from the University. All of our employees are actually from the U of I.” This includes alumnus Josh George, a University wheelchair athlete and Paralympian gold medalist. “It’s been neat to see connections with the wheelchair athletes on campus getting excited about this company and just the history of accessibility technology from this University,” Frerichs said.

It has been 33 years since HIV was fi rst identifi ed, but the virus that causes AIDS continues to impact people today. Monday was World AIDS Day, and currently, Illinois is ranked the sixth highest state in number of AIDS cases in America, with over 30,000 total cases of the virus occurring, according to the Illinois Department

Nala, the EOD K-9 for University Police, was put to rest last month after suffering from a genetic nerve disease. Nala used to sweep areas before school events to make sure the area was free from any explosives.

University police dog put down BY FATIMA FARHA STAFF WRITER

Due to their intelligence and ability to become welltrained companions, dogs are often used by the police force as a part of the K-9 Unit. The K-9 Unit is made up of dogs who have gone through proper training to perform duties that police officers cannot do, such as sniffing for bombs. One such dog, Nala, was a part of the University Police Department for 10 years, performing her duties as a bomb-sniffi ng dog, also known as an Explosives Ordnance Detection K-9. On Nov. 11, she was put to rest after suffering from a genetic nerve condition that rendered her hind legs useless, according to Nala’s handler, Officer Troy Chew. Chew said Nala, a Belgian Malinois, retired in August

after the disease began to take its toll on her body. After seeing how her health was deteriorating, Chew decided it was time for her to be put to rest. “It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do,” Chew said. As a bomb dog, Nala was responsible for sniffing out any hint of explosives before public events such as football games, basketball games, speaker events and Board of Trustees meetings. While she never detected one in her years of service, Chew said she was always able to find the ones he planted for her. He said he got Nala 10 years ago from Northern Michigan K-9 Inc., a company that trains dogs for the K9 force. Nala had been trained by this corporation and was brought to the University by

Chew, who had to undergo his own training to understand Nala and her behaviors. In all their years together, Chew recalled many fond memories, especially football games. “Nala loved the football games, and I am a football guy and I loved sporting events and working all of the U of I football games with her was a lot of fun,” Chew said. Officer Tim Hetrick, the K9 Unit Coordinator for the University Police Department, said he worked closely with Nala. He accompanied Chew to Michigan back when they first purchased her. Hetrick said he also has many fond memories with Nala and that her death was “extremely difficult,” but he had a very positive experience with her over the last

10 years. “I often teased Officer Chew and told him she liked me better than him,” Hetrick said. “She was just a really sweet dog, and it was always a joy to work with her.” The University Police Department has been using K-9s for at least 15 years, Chew said. The other K-9 on the force is Q, a narcotics dog, who has been around even longer than Nala. Chew said there has been at least one dog on the force for as long as he could remember. Since Nala’s retirement, Chew has begun to train a new bomb dog, 17-monthold Zuri. Despite being new, Chew said Zuri has been doing well, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

said, could be from the large number of individuals living in Chicago — more people means a larger likelihood of individuals with diseases, he added. About 53 percent of those diagnosed with AIDS in Illinois have died since 1981, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. The department also stated that in Champaign County there were 442 individuals with HIV (non-AIDS) and 525 individuals with AIDS as of Dec. 31, 2013. The Greater Community AIDS Project of East Central Illinois is a local organization that helps individuals with HIV and AIDS in 10 counties, including Champaign. Mike Benner, executive director of the organization, said the group is focused on working with individuals diagnosed with HIV and AIDS so they can live more empowered lives. He explained that this is done by helping people through a variety of means, such as transitional housing, emergency assistance, food programs and education. The group encourages people to get tested to fi nd out their status, and if they test positive, to get treatment immediately. Benner said it is critical that when individuals receive treatment for HIV that they adhere to it. “If you become virally suppressed, which is the goal of treatment, there is no reason why HIV should

be a factor in pervading you from doing anything you want to do,” Benner said. The Greater Community AIDS Project works closely with the C-U Public Health District, and fi lls in the gaps where people most need help. This includes getting people bus passes and helping someone fi x their car so they are able to make doctor appointments. The Special Populations’ Student Health Concerns Committee presented a World AIDS Day fi lm and answered questions Tuesday at the Illini Union. Dominic Gentile, junior in LAS, said the organization is a registered student organization sponsored by McKinley Health Center, and its goal is to spread health information that is applicable to diverse student populations on campus. The fi lm was created by the group and includes an interview with Benner, who discussed where individuals can get tested in east central Illinois. Gentile said the group tries to educate and raise awareness about the disease so that they can help people who have been affected by it. “It’s good for people to be aware of the risks that you take when you can engage in risky behavior,” Gentile said. The group will also host an AIDS discussion Wednesday at the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center at noon.

Soldiers and investigators examine the bodies at the scene after Somali militants killed 28 quarry workers near the north Kenyan town of Mandera on Tuesday. They were shot for not being able to recite a Koranic verse.

Kenyan police chief resigns after worker massacre by al-Shabab group NAIROBI, Kenya — Islamist terror group alShabab attacked a quarry in northern Kenya on Tuesday, massacring dozens of workers, just 10 days after a bus attack when gunmen shot dead 28 passengers who couldn’t recite a Koranic verse. Police Chief David Kimaiyo said the victims were ambushed at a quarry in Koromei, about 10 miles

from the town of Mandera, local media reported. Following the deadly attacks on Tuesday, Kimaiyo reportedly resigned. In recent weeks, violent Islamist terror groups on opposite sides of the continent — Kenya and Nigeria — have carried out attacks killing hundreds, with security forces in both countries accused of lapses in their failure to contain the threats.

MILLERCOORS ships, now’s a good time to do it in conjunction with the rebranding.’” Six other Big 10 universities, including Iowa and Wisconsin, have recently entered into alcohol sponsorship relationships, Kaufmann said, which also played a role in the University’s decision. Kaufmann said the agreement between MillerCoors, Fighting Illini Sports Properties and the University gave MillerCoors the rights to use University athletics’ brand for radio ads, coaches’ television shows, ticketing and promotional and marketing materials. The artwork on the billboards, which included the Block I logo, was initially approved for display in smaller venues like restaurants and bars. When the Athletics Department discovered that it had been displayed on billboards near campus, they asked MillerCoors to take the advertisements down. The company promptly complied. “They certainly didn’t think they were causing any harm,” Kaufmann said. “That artwork had already been approved, but it was just approved to be in other venues and not on billboards, and so we as a department had not officially authorized bill-

boards, because it was never really presented to us or asked of us that way.” Kaufmann believes there was a miscommunication between the three parties regarding what kind of advertisements the artwork could be used for, although he said the Athletics Department was unsure if Learfield knew that the billboards were not approved when they were in negotiations with MillerCoors. He said the campus billboards were taken down due to concerns that they could imply the promotion of underage drinking. Billboards with the same artwork, however, are still on display in Chicago and Peoria. The University entered into a 10-year contract with Learfield Communication in July 2012. Learfield would sell corporate sponsorship packages and manage the University’s radio network and in exchange, the University would be guaranteed a seven-figure annual income from the company. “We represent the Big Ten Conference on a league level and also have individual rights agreements with eight member schools,” said Jennifer Duncan, spokeswoman for Learfield Sports. “Learfield Sports established ‘Fighting Illini Sports Properties’ in Champaign to directly oversee the major-

ity of Illinois Athletics’ comprehensive rights including signage, sponsorship, corporate hospitality, event marketing, radio production and sales and television coaches’ shows and official athletic website advertising.” Duncan declined to comment as to whether there was a miscommunication between Fighting Illini Sports Properties and MillerCoors. In addition to its advertising partnership with the University, MillerCoors gave a $20,000 grant to promote alcohol education on campus. Kaufmann said the money has not been allocated to any programs yet, but the University has until the end of June 2015 to use the grant. Despite entering into a partnership with MillerCoors, Kaufmann said the University has no plans to implement beer sales in the general seating areas of Memorial Stadium or the State Farm Center. Alcoholic beverages are still sold at the venues, but only to certain customers. Fans with premium seating at Memorial Stadium can buy drinks on game day, and the State Farm Center sells beer at select concerts and shows. The University is one of nine Big 10 schools that sell alcohol at home football games in some capacity. Minnesota is the only Big 10 school that allows beer sales

in the general seating sections of its stadium, and has had mixed results so far. According to sales figures released to the Associated Press, during the 2012 football season, Minnesota’s fi rst year of alcohol sales, the university lost nearly $16,000, despite fans purchasing more than $900,000 in beer and wine. However, Minnesota has since recovered from its initial loss, and has expanded alcohol sales at TCF Bank Stadium, bringing the total points of sale for alcoholic drinks to around 150. There are currently 21 universities across the country that allow the sale of alcohol for general seating areas of their football stadiums, and not without reason. A 2013 study from the Journal of Sport Management found that universities that allowed the sale of alcohol in general seating areas generated nearly $600,000 more in total concession revenue than schools with dry stadiums. Excluding premium seating areas in Memorial Stadium and select events at the State Farm Center, the University said it does not have plans to expand alcohol sales to general seating areas at sporting events.

If confirmed by the Senate, Carter will be the president’s fourth secretary of defense in six years. Carter, 60, would come into office with far more Pentagon experience than the man he would replace, Chuck

Hagel, who announced his resignation last week amid pressure from the White House and disagreements over the administration’s strategy against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. Carter, who previously served in both the Pentagon’s No. 2 and 3 posts, has close ties to many military commanders. Within the miltary establishment, he is considered a bold thinker who understands the Pentagon well.

Lebanese authorities reportedly detain a wife of Islamic State leader Lebanese authorities have detained a wife of Abu Bakr Baghdadi, head of the Islamic State militant group, according to unconfi rmed reports circulating Tuesday in the Lebanese press. Various news outlets cited security sources saying that a woman identified as one of Baghdadi’s wives had been

taken into custody while trying to cross into the nation from neighboring Syria. There was no official confi rmation from Lebanese authorities and various conflicting accounts of her reported arrest. The name of the woman identified as a Baghdadi spouse was not released.

Israeli coalition collapses as Netanyahu fires key ministers JERUSALEM — Less than two years into office, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government collapsed Tuesday as he fi red two ministers who lead key parties in his ruling coalition. Ending a protracted political crisis and speculation about early elections, Netanyahu dismissed Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Finance Minister Yair Lapid, who have repeatedly challenged his leadership.

“I will no longer tolerate an opposition within the government; I will not tolerate ministers attacking the policy and head of the government from within,” Netanyahu said in announcing the changes. The statement from his office added that Netanyahu will call to dissolve the Knesset, Israel’s 120-seat parliament, as soon as possible in order to “go to the voters and receive a clear mandate to lead Israel.”

EDITORIAL University sends mixed messages in Coors Light complaint

or many students, beer is generally a part of the college experience. Between turning 21 and graduating, you’ll likely join the mug club at Illini Inn or ride the rail at Legends at least once. This semester, inside many of these campus bars, you will find new Coors Light posters with the Illini logo. The University signed a contract in August to make Coors Light the official beer of the University. We are now one of only a few Big Ten universities to have an official beer sponsor. But since a good portion of our student population is under the legal drinking age, the University says it does not want to market alcohol directly to students, and as indicated in the Chicago Tribune, University officials were “blindsided” by the billboards associating the University with Coors Light. Apparently artwork was approved only for alcohol-serving places such as bars and restaurants. However, we notice a little bit of contradiction in the University’s complaints. Recently, University officials discovered the unauthorized use of University-affiliated logos on billboards near campus, which have since been taken down. University spokeswoman Robin Kaler told the Chicago Tribune last month that MillerCoors was instructed not to place alcohol-related billboards in Champaign-Urbana, yet billboards in Peoria and Chicago will go untouched. The University claims it doesn’t want to advertise directly to students, but if that’s the case, what’s the point of allowing the agreed upon artwork at campus bars? Aside from the occasional professor at happy hour, who do you think frequents these places? Answer: students. While we think it makes sense that the University is trying to make a few bucks — and hey, we could use it if it makes tuition go down (though we’re not getting our hopes up) — the University is sending mixed messages in its response to the billboards. If the goal was to only promote alcohol to 21 and older, then it doesn’t make much sense to get in a tizzy about billboards and not posters or artwork in a bar, especially when the entrance age for campus bars is 19. Alcohol abuse is an important issue on any college campus, and we appreciate the motives behind the University’s care and concern regarding their sponsorship with Coors Light. At the same time, the issues they have upheld with the beer company regarding its art and advertising seem contradictory and don’t necessarily address the concern the University apparently has.

BRITNEY’S BIRTHDAY ONE MORE TIME

LET’S TAKE A SELFIE

Oh baby, baby, Britney Spears turned 33 yesterday, and we still feel so Lucky she made it past 2007. You wear your age well, Brit, and we know you are Stronger than two days ago when you were 32. Before Queen Bey, there was Queen B, and Britney definitely ruled our world — we were Slaves 4 her. Don’t worry though, Brit, we are still Crazy for you. If U Seek Britney this week, we’re sure she will be celebrating her birthday with her two sons instead of taking part in the Toxic party scene. (If you lost count of Britney song references, it was eight).

You know something has certainly changed among our generation when E! News releases a “Best Celeb Selfies of 2014” contest. Among the contestants that have been narrowed down in round two (yes, this competition requires at least two rounds, apparently) are the ever-famous group Oscar selfie, Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald KISSING, if you can believe it, and Taylor Swift and Lorde sippin’ on some OJ. Our assumption is that if you didn’t vote in the midterm elections several weeks ago, you will probably vote for this nonsense — priorities, priorities.

DEAR GIRL SCOUTS EVERYWHERE...

HEMMA OR EARRY?

Thanks-A-Lot for making your cookies easily available online. The Thin Mints are absolutely (Caramel) deLite-ful. Your Do-si-dos make me (Savannah) Smile. Hopefully it’s not long before all of your troops Tagalong and make all their cookie sales digital. Basically, you can now buy Girl Scout cookies online, and the world has exploded with excitement. We always appreciate when we are able to reach a new level of lazy. Instead of having to use up all that physical energy of walking up to a Girl Scout booth and going to the extra effort of grabbing money out of our wallets, we can now lay in our bed, laptops on belly, Chipotle burrito in mouth, and order a box (or ten) of Samoas.

Emma Watson is now the subject of two of the weirdest fan-pairings in existence. Not only do Draco Malfoy-Hermione Granger fan fictions actually exist, but following the British Fashion Awards, Twitter erupted with cries for #Hemma: Harry Styles and Emma Watson, after a photo of the two went viral. One fan went as far as asking Emma to become Harry’s “WINTER GF.” No comment on who his “gf” for other seasons is, yet. The reason we would approve of this celebrity pairing? Harry and Hermione would finally be together.

Fulfill your civic duty: Be informed KAANAN RAJA Opinions columnist

erguson, ISIS, Ebola and Ukraine protests — do these ring a bell? Hopefully they do because these events have been four of the largest topics scrawled across news headlines this past year. Yet, I’m still constantly disappointed when I bring up current news in conversations only to receive blank stares and befuddled expressions to match. It seems to me as if the younger demographic, including college students, are choosing to become less and less informed on important topics that sweep our nation. This is extremely dangerous. When we are ignorant about important current events and social justice issues, we aren’t able to critically evaluate the world. In order to impact the world even in the slightest, we must first be engaged in it. Free copies of The New York Times, USA Today and the Chicago Tribune are available at many locations on our campus. Therefore, it’s probably safe to say it is our own fault

that many of us choose to stay in the dark about several topics that affect our nation, especially when so many reliable sources surround us each day. Many of the concerns that surround not being informed are definitely understandable. As college students, not only are we always extremely busy, but many of us are not that interested in events that go past our state’s borders. We tend to think that much of what happens on the other side of the globe or in different states and towns doesn’t affect us directly and thus, is no concern for us. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Events such as Ferguson explore racial issues while Ukraine protests involve political repression. Both events involve larger social justice issues that many across the world can empathize with and understand. Events that are happening on the other side of the world, as well as things happening in our own backyard, both impact the world we live in today and what kind of future world we could live in. Therefore, it is imperative that we — young adults who have the capability to shape this nation’s future — make ourselves aware of these national and global issues.

The recent social issue in Ferguson proves how we have the capability to take an educated stance about larger injustices after looking at plenty of sources about the situation. The Ferguson case also showed the difference between what it means to be informed and misinformed. While I have heard peers say some incredibly vapid and uneducated statements about this case, I’ve also heard some incredibly thought-provoking statements regarding the riots and aftermath. In fact, many of my own peers have marched in protests and attended rallies in their own communities following the grand jury decision not to indict Darren Wilson over the shooting of Michael Brown. Before attending, I know many of my peers consistently checked the news or read the front page stories covering the case each day. Before they joined their community and made the difference they wished to see in the world, they became informed of the situation first. I dare us all to do the same. However, this does not mean looking at what’s trending on Facebook or Twitter as your daily news source. As these are social media platforms, many times information

spread can either be warped by public opinions without any facts to back it up — it gives us speedy information, but not always accurate information. Instead, there are a variety of quick resources to take advantage of: BBC News, Flipboard, theSkimm and more all have apps that can easily be downloaded if you have time to spare on a bus ride or break between classes. There are websites that scatter all across the Internet from every news source imaginable. Even having a conversation with an enthusiastic professor is another way to think critically and still receive information about what’s going on in the world and why it matters. As college students at the University, it is our civic duty to have a certain level of global awareness. While equations and biological facts are important to flood my mind with, I consider myself a well-rounded student only when I inform myself of what is taking place in the world. So tune into a trusted news source on TV, pick up a newspaper or click away to NPR: Be informed, because ignorance is not an option.

Podcasts deliver free, fast information CAMRON OWENS Opinions columnist

ou may have seen talk on social media lately of “Serial,” a new podcast from National Public Radio. The podcast has been streamed or downloaded on iTunes over five million times. If you aren’t in the loop, podcasts are essentially the new version of radio shows. Available online or on mobile devices using apps, podcasts take many forms such as talk shows, musical performances and improvisational comedy. The Huffington Post recently called podcasts “the new TV.” For college students who may be getting bored with their playlists or are trying to avoid impending Christmas tunes, podcasts can provide a new listening experience. Below I’ve listed ten reasons why I love podcasts and why I think my fellow peers should give them a try.

1. They’re easily accessible.

Podcasts are a great way to mix up what you’re listening to while on the bus, working out or walking to class. The best part is, they’re free. To download a podcast, simply download a podcast app and download episodes to your phone. It’s cheaper than a music streaming service or buying songs.

2. Your favorite celebrities do podcasts.

Podcasts like “Nerdist” and “WTF with Marc Maron” feature interviews with big stars such as Tom Cruise, Seth Rogen and Jared Leto. Since podcasts are not limited to a scheduled hour like talk shows are, the conversations are often more in depth and uninterrupted by commercials.

3. There’s probably a podcast dedicated to your favorite show.

Many popular TV shows have podcasts dedicated to them. For example, “A Cast of Kings” features discussions of the latest episodes of “Game of Thrones.” Other popular shows with aftershow podcasts include “Scandal,” “The Walking Dead” and “House of Cards.” My personal favorite is “The Daily Show Podcast without Jon Stewart,” which features writers from “The Daily Show” discussing the process of writing for the show.

4. They feature interesting and gripping stories.

Many people across the country have been captivated by “Serial,” a weekly podcast that tells the true story of the 1999 murder of Baltimorearea high school senior, Hae Min Lee. Many have compared it to HBO’s popular show “True Detective.” Other podcasts like “This American Life” feature true and interesting stories of fascinating occurrences throughout the world.

5. They can be downloaded automatically.

After subscribing to a podcast on an app, the latest episodes automatically download to your device upon release. This makes it easy to keep up with your favorite shows, just like the “My List” feature on Netflix.

6. They’re educational.

Sure Beyonce, One Direction and Hoobastank are great, but when’s the last time they taught you about United States’ history? Podcasts such as “Stuff You Should Know” and “Stuff You Missed in History Class” exist to fill you in on topics from how Kickstarter works to the life of Johnny Appleseed. Another popular show, “Radiolab,” explores the science behind particular themes and stories. With finals coming up, it may not be a bad time to review a few topics.

7. Need life advice? There’s a podcast for that.

Surprisingly, I don’t have all the answers to life’s many questions, but thankfully there are plenty of podcasts that offer solutions. “NPR: How To Do Everything Podcast” features life advice and survival tips. “The Art of Charm” can help you win over that special someone and further develop your social skills.

8. Take music appreciation to the next level.

You may recall a YouTube video of T-Pain singing without auto-tune that recently became popular online. The performance was actually for NPR’s “Tiny Desk Concerts.” Other podcasts like “Sound Opinions” and “All Songs Considered” fea-

ture discussions and interviews with popular and up-and-coming artists. Podcasts are a great way to discover new music or learn about your favorite performers. There are options to satisfy all music fans, from Celtic music to Afrojack.

9. They’re weird (in a good way).

Many podcasts are just groups of friends hanging out and discussing random topics. Since they are easy to produce and aren’t as constrained as television, podcasters are free to do whatever they like. Podcasts like “James Bonding” and “U Talkin’ U2 To Me?” feature friends discussing pop culture phenomena they’re passionate about. “How’d Did This Get Made?” pits comedians against terrible movies. Like mother always said, “You haven’t lived until you’ve listened to a group of comedians relentlessly ridicule the film ‘Deck the Halls.’ ”

10. This list only scratches the surface.

There are thousands of podcasts available on iTunes and apps such as Stitcher and Pocket Casts. Much like TV shows, some podcasts aren’t for everyone. I sifted through many podcasts before I found some I enjoy listening to. With “Serial” and podcasts in general gaining popularity, now’s the time to jump on the podcast craze. With finals coming, treat yourself to some new entertainment — for free.

Drive promotes safe medicine disposal BY ELISEO ELIZARRARAZ STAFF WRITER

When the polymer-coated pills in the bathroom cabinet expire or go unused, many consumers simply toss them into the trash, just as they would with a banana peel or eggshell; however, these drugs often end up in the same water supply consumers use to bathe, drink and cook. An investigation conducted by the Associated Press in 2008 discovered a number of pharmaceuticals — among them antibiotics, anticonvulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — had leaked into the drinking water supply of at least 46 million Americans. Now, one group at the University is doing its part to prevent the improper disposal of medicine. Engineering 315, a “Learning in Community” (LINC) service course offered at the University, has joined with the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant to host a medicine takeback event and recycling fair on Thursday from noon to 6 p.m. on the southwest side of the Illini Union. The Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant is a research, education and outreach organization designed to “empower southern Lake Michigan communities to secure a healthy environment and economy,” according to its website, The Learning in Community group’s goal is to collect unused and expired medications and other materials that are potentially hazardous to the environment if they are

TROMBONE this would blossom,” Pugh said. “You just sort of follow this path. With the Chick Corea gig, I called his office because I read in an interview that he was putting together a band with horns.” Because of the plethora of extraordinary experiences he has lived through, Pugh has no favorite tours or musicians. Only favorite memories. “I remember Woody Herman closing the door of his truck on my head one time,” Pugh said. “Now, recently, it comes down to memories of really small dressing rooms and the whole male part of Steely Dan being in this small, tiny room. When you’re doing a lot of miles on the road, those are the things that stick out to you. They’re out of the norm.” Even Pugh, as one of the band members, has felt like just another audience member for the musicians he accompanies. He, too, stood in lines for autographs after the sessions. “(I performed in a) movie (score) with Eddie Marconi, a film composer that most musicians have a huge amount of respect for. And at the end of the movie, there was a line of people from the orchestra in front of this podium getting his autograph,” he said. “He had changed a chord for the trombones, and he wrote out all of our notes on a little tiny scrap on manuscript paper, I took that scrap up — this is so corny — and had him autograph that.”. A recent change in his career — one that led Pugh toward the academic side of

NONPROFITS instead runs through the Wesley Foundation, a campus ministry run through the United Methodist Church. The organization packages food from bulk into smaller packages that are more suitable for distribution in a food bank or pantry. IFH works with groups in the community, such as religious organizations and Registered Student Organizations, which then sponsor the cost of the packaged food and resources needed to host a packaging event, said Max Colon, president of IFH and junior in LAS. “We help connect these partners with the most costeffective sources for meal packaging ingredients or single ingredients like rice or beans. We provide the leadership needed for successful event facilitation, and we provide the necessary packing equipment including heat sealers, scales, weigh baskets, bins, scoops, funnels,” Colon said. When Damhorst was an undergraduate student, he was involved in a few meal packaging projects that

not recycled c o r r e c t l y, through the orga n i z i ng and planning of a single, “no questions asked” drive. “We owe it to ourselves to keep our waterways clean, and levels of hormonal and chemical contamination in water will continue to rise if we don’t think before we flush or toss medications,” said Carlie Leoni, project manager and senior in LAS. “We want to make knowledge of this issue accessible so that proper medicine disposal can become as commonplace as recycling plastic bottles.” Many similar drives have taken place throughout the nation and the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant have brought these to the area. “In the past, a single day medicine take-back event has been hosted by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) and they collect roughly 18 pounds of unwanted or expired medication during each event,” said Rosalee Celis, another project manager and senior in Engineering. “However, since our take-back event will be the first on the UIUC campus, we are expecting to collect below that.” The drive, with its collecmusic — wasn’t that easy. “For me, I sort of went into this side of music kicking and screaming,” Pugh said. “But the further I got into it, I found I really loved doing it. I think that end has actually been something that’s opened up creative stuff in me that has gone by the wayside.” Interacting with students inspires Pugh to continue music even at his current age of 64. It’s allowed him to meet rising performer and musician Reggie Chapman, a doctorate student of musical arts in FAA. “Reggie is a fabulous musician, and being around students like Reggie, I get energy and inspiration from them, and hopefully it flows back, too,” he said. “I give them a lot of information and experience that I’ve had, and they can get me to where I’m pumped up again and excited about things musical. Seeing them discover something, all of a sudden clicks something.” But, according to Chapman, Pugh’s teaching makes his wheel of inspiration continue to turn as well. “He’s a hard worker. He just turned 64, and he’s still at it. He still practices every day; he still leaves to tour. He’s a lifelong musician, and he passes it on to other people,” Chapman said. “My tendency is to freak out, and he’s just like, ‘Don’t worry, just work at it.’ He has lots of faith in his students. I’m in the cornfields, but at least I get to work with someone like him. That’s why I’m here.” His switch from performing to academia even inspired other fellow faculty member Charles “Chip” McNeil, whose office sits introduced him to the process, but he then realized there were multiple factors increasing the overall cost. Other nonprofits around the country can package a meal for 23 to 25 cents per serving, he said. The organization’s goal was to raise $13,000 to package 50,000 meals. It received equipment on a truck from Iowa and the executive director of Meal of Hope from Florida flew out to Champaign to be present for the two-hour packaging event. “It just kind of got me thinking that it seemed really unnecessary to bring somebody from Florida to Champaign-Urbana to do a twohour service project and it seemed unnecessary to get the equipment from Iowa,” Damhorst said. “So that kind of inspired this idea of creating our own meal packaging organization on campus.” As a team of five graduate students, they purchased their own equipment to reduce the long-term cost and began packaging food at half the cost of other organizations. Today, IFH has worked with 6,820 volunteers to package more than 216,569 pounds of food. They package a “casserole” that con-

tion to be supervised by the University Police Department, is one of two events this year that will be hosted by the Learning in Community course. The drugs collected from the event will be given to University police where they will be properly disposed of and incinerated. Though the event is gauged toward the collection of medicine and other hazardous materials, the group’s ultimate goal for the drive is to raise awareness on how to safely and properly handle the recycling of medicine and other pharmaceuticals. “If we collect medicine, that’s fantastic, but really, we want people to learn about safer and alternative methods of disposing their unused medications,” said Dwani Patel, a project group member and senior in Engineering. “It will ultimately benefit our environment and health.”

There isn’t just one thing. It’s everything in aggregate,” said McNeil, the division chair of jazz studies. Continuing his musical passions and being a touring musician isn’t that easy at his age. “(Summer 2014) was a hard tour. We were doing a lot more bus miles. It was a luxury coach with bunks, lounges and sound systems, but I’m finding as I get older, I have a harder time sleeping on the bus,” Pugh said. “There’s stuff for me as I get a little bit older that I’m finding wasn’t as much of a problem 15 years ago.” Despite the challenges, however, Jim Pugh has no vision of his life without music. He does not foresee this path ending anytime soon. “I would still do it in a minute. A lot of my classmates at Eastman had wonderful orchestral careers, but they’re all retired. Even the ones that went into academia have retired. I’m not ready for that yet. People at my age have lost the fire in the belly. They still may be very talented, but the ‘I want this so badly’ kind of thing is gone. At 64, (mine is) not (gone) yet.” For Pugh, Bone Island is home. Although he doesn’t know where he will be in 10 years or the way the path of music will take him, he will be playing.

Little did that 10-year-old know that this hasty decision would lead him to attend the prestigious Eastman School of Music, play with esteemed musicians Woody Herman and Chick Corea, tour with Steely Dan, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Pink Floyd and Frank Sinatra and play on over 4,000 recordings and compose works of his own. “I don’t think anyone decides what they’re going to be,” Pugh said. “But I think you just do what you do.

Student-run nonprofit organizations find success BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

With corporations like Google, Facebook, Dell and Reddit beginning out of college dorm rooms, many college students have the ambition and resources to leave a lasting impact on their university. Nonprofit organizations are no exception. According to the Center for Nonprofit Management, there are currently more than 1.5 million nonprofits registered with the Internal Revenue Service.

Global Health Conscious Jenine Saleh, senior in LAS, is the founder of Global Health Conscious, a taxexempt nonprofit, which began in January 2013. The organization donates medical supplies “directly to people that need them the most,” Saleh said. “I never thought I would actually create a nonprofit.”

GHC works with a medical supply warehouse in southern Illinois to donate hundreds of different types of supplies ranging from mouthwash to hiking sticks to scalpels. More than $10 million worth of supplies will be collected and shipped to refugee camps through the organization. The supplies go to five United Nations Refugee and Works Agency refugee camps located in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Gaza and the West Bank. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency created an Excel sheet with the supplies it needs and its destinations. Saleh said she has already secured the network with the medical supply distributor. They are gathering supplies this week and she hopes to have them shipped by the end of the year. Saleh said it all began when she visited the West Bank in Israel in summer 2010 as a volunteer for the Palestine

Red Crescent Society, which is the central hospital and education center in the West Bank. Saleh said that the hospital lacked basic medical supplies when she volunteered there. “Many U.S. hospitals throw away excess supplies when these supplies can go to saving a life,” she said. “GHC acts as a middle man and donates the supplies within these storage facilities to people and places that need them the most.” After the trip, Saleh said her work started as a charity project to donate supplies to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, but she first needed to raise money to cover the shipping costs, which can be more than $10,000 overseas. Because GHC was a new nonprofit and it took more than a year to reach nonprofit status with the IRS, “there was nothing substantial we could use to apply for grants or to receive donations,” she said.

Saleh contacted more than 500 people to ask for help and donations, held fundraisers and reached out to organizations like churches, fraternities and sororities. She took out a loan for the dues that still remained, which were paid back when GHC received the Drucker Grant, a $100,000 award for nonprofit innovation, over the summer. Saleh contributes the nonprofit’s success to hard work and lack of sleep. “I’m still in disbelief knowing what we have achieved and what we will achieve in the future,” Saleh said. “It has been surreal.”

SPORTS Cold shooting dooms Illinois against Miami ALEX ROUX Sports columnist

HECTOR GABINO TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Miami’s Sheldon McClellan goes to the basket to score in the first half against Illinois in Coral Gables, Florida, on Tuesday. The Hurricanes won, 70-61. The Illini’s shooting percentage was their season-worst at 33.3 percent.

Illinois drops the ball against Miami in 1st loss of season BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

Illinois’ strength became its weakness Tuesday night. The No. 24 Illini suffered their first loss of the season, falling to No. 15 Miami 70-61 at the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Florida. It was the team’s worst offense night of the season. The Illini offense, which was fi fth in the nation in scoring coming into the game, was unable to get shots to fall. Illinois missed 69 shots in the loss. The team shot a seasonworst 33.3 percent from the floor and 23.3 percent from beyond the 3-point arc Tuesday, scoring a season-low 61 points. The newly-ranked Illini came into the game with a 48.2 field goal percentage. Despite senior guard Rayvonte Rice’s offensive efforts, the depth Illinois has relied on early in the season had trouble backing

him up on the scoresheet. Rice had half the team’s points (11 of 22) with less than three minutes to go in the first half. The senior ended the game with a team-leading 22 points and 12 rebounds. Sophomore forward Malcolm Hill (13 points) was the only other Illini player to reach double-digits. Deandre Burnett led Miami 19 points. Manu Lecomte and Sheldon McClellan added 15 and 14 points, respectively, in the winning effort. The Hurricanes improved to 8-0, while the Illini dropped to 6-1.

Giving up momentum Illinois fought its way back into the game after trailing 37-24 at the half. The Illini went on a 10-0 run to pull within three. But on-and-off flurries weren’t enough to push Illinois past Miami. Every time the Illi-

ni went on a run, the Hurricanes answered. Illinois even was within two midway through the second half. Sophomore guard Kendrick Nunn took the Illini on another big run, scoring eight unanswered points, but Miami responded with a 12-2 run of its own to pull away yet again.

Transfer guard production Illinois transfers Aaron Cosby and Ahmad Starks started the season well, both averaging double-digit scoring heading into Tuesday night’s game. But the two guards shot a combined 2-for-20 in the loss. If Tuesday night’s loss was any indication for the Illini, they need their offense clicking night-in and night-out heading into a tough schedule over the next two weeks. The stretch

WEEK

REILLY O’TOOLE

Senior quarterback not the backup anymore

FOLAKE OSIBODU THE DAILY ILLINI

BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

Limping toward the crowd of media awaiting him in the concourse at Ryan Field, Reilly O’Toole had a smile plastered across his face. The senior quarterback had just led his team to a 47-33 win over its in-state rival, and more importantly, clinched a bowl appearance for the Illini for the first time in three years. Sure, the gigantic grin was because of the big win, but there was undoubtedly another layer of that smile for himself. By now, O’Toole’s story has been printed in the sports section of every publication covering the Illini this season: A four-year backup quarterback finally given a chance.

Honorable Mentions: Jocelynn Birks (volleyball) — The junior outside hitter had 38 kills and 19 digs in two games against Nebraska and Michigan. But it’s no longer correct to call O’Toole a “backup.” The senior fulfilled his relief duties when Illinois’ original starting quarterback Wes Lunt missed five weeks with a fractured leg. Now healthy, Lunt didn’t return with the same spark he left with and was replaced by O’Toole in the second quarter against Penn State after completing just eight of 17 passes for 58 yards. During Saturday’s win over

Rayvonte Rice (men’s basketball) — The senior point guard scored 38 points and 14 rebounds, amd won Las Vegas Invitational MVP.

Northwestern, Lunt never played a down. Instead, he watched O’Toole lead the Illini to seven different scoring drives, throwing three touchdown passes and 147 yards in both passing and rushing. O’Toole — a passing quarterback — had more rushing yards than any running back for either team. He ran for more yards than Illinois backs Josh

llinois played well for roughly three minutes of Tuesday’s 70-61 loss to Miami. The Illini came out of halftime facing a 37-24 deficit and went on a 10-0 run to open the half, cutting Miami’s lead to three in quick fashion. Later in the half, once the Hurricanes opened up another 10-point lead, Illinois guard Kendrick Nunn went on a personal 8-0 run to bring his team within two, at 48-46. Other than those three minutes, Illinois was dismantled by Miami’s guard-heavy offense. Too often, the Illini defense was a day late and a dollar short, as it gave up numerous easy buckets to the Hurricanes’ guards and bigs alike. On the offensive end, Illinois was dysfunctional from the start. Poor shot selection, missed free throws and quick threes dug a hole going into half that was ultimately too deep for the Illini to overcome. Credit Miami for playing tough and not allowing Illinois to gain too much momentum when it made its runs. Every time the Illini were beat on the door during their multiple second half comebacks, the Canes kept them at arm’s length with timely shooting and offensive rebounding. Aside from Illinois’ offnight, the most frustrating aspect of the game for Illini fans has to be the play of Miami’s Deandre Burnett. The redshirt freshman scored 19 points off the bench on 7-of-16 shooting, taking the pressure off star guard Angel Hernandez. Sound familiar? A relatively unknown Miami guard coming off the

bench to torch Illinois? It should. In the 2013 NCAA tournament, Rion Brown came off the bench to score 21 points and help bounce the Illini from the Big Dance. Burnett gave me fl ashbacks of Brown on Tuesday, as Illinois simply didn’t have an answer for Burnett, Sheldon McClellan (14 points) and Manu Lecomte (15 points) all at once. Even when those three were off the court, it seemed like Canes center Tonye Jeriki was there to grab an offensive rebound. Jeriki fi nished with nine boards. The fi rst half for Illinois started like Friday’s Baylor game, when cold shooting stunted the Illini’s offensive output. Miami is superior to Baylor, and didn’t let the Illini hang around close enough in the fi rst half. To beat talented teams like Miami, Illinois will simply have to shoot better from the start. Rayvonte Rice and Malcolm Hill carried the Illini offense once again with 35 combined points, but 7-of-30 from beyond the arc won’t cut it. Starting guards Ahmad Starks and Aaron Cosby were 2-for-20 combined from the field, and that won’t get it done as the season goes on. The first loss of the season is always tough. But this loss needs to be put in perspective. Illinois lost to the No. 15-ranked team in the nation, on the road, by nine points. That’s not exactly a shocking outcome, even with the Illini visiting Miami as the No. 24 ranked team in the country. This loss is a bump in the road for Illinois head coach John Groce and his squad, not a disaster. If the Illini consistently shoot poorly like they have in their last two matchups against Baylor and Miami, then

Dasso’s longtime friend drives current success BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER

An old wooden tennis racquet hangs on the wall in head coach Michelle Dasso’s office at Illinois’ Atkins Tennis Center. Dasso has carried the Wilson racquet with her for her entire tennis career. The padded handle is gone, the white paint worn at the bottom, but it is the fuel to her tennis fire. Dasso hasn’t ever played a match with the racquet. She just likes to look at it. Ever since she can remember, Dasso’s best friend was Kimberly Brown. Growing up in Long Grove, Illinois, the two girls were inseparable. Dasso and her two brothers saw Kimberly as another sister. Their parents were just as close, so close in fact, that Brown’s mother was Dasso’s godmother. Dasso and Kimberly hung out almost every day. The two girls did everything together despite contrasting personalities. “She was defi nitely the girly girl and she was much more outgoing, while I was more of the shy and sporty one,” Dasso said. Kimberly helped get Dasso involved in a lot of activities, including ballet and ice skating, which Dasso admitted she was never any good at. Their fathers were involved in their daughters’ lives. Kimberly’s dad, Terry Brown, coached many of the girls’ sports teams, and he and Dasso’s father, Ed, would take the girls on rafting trips across the country, which Dasso said the girls loved. When the girls were 6, Kimberly’s mom signed the girls up for a little hitter’s tennis camp at the ten-

nis club where the Browns were members. Little hitter’s camp was just one more thing the two girls could do together. From a young age, Dasso showed that she was more athletically gifted than Kimberly, and at the age of 9, Dasso started taking tennis seriously and played in her first tournament — Kimberly stuck to playing tennis casually. It was around this time that Kimberley gave Dasso a gift. It was Kimberly’s first wooden tennis racquet.

On July 19, 1989, when Kimberly was 11, she and her mother Janice boarded a plane in Denver after visiting some family. The flight was scheduled to land at O’Hare International Airport, but United Flight 232 would never touch down in Chicago. Just as the plane crossed into Iowa, there was a loud bang that made the whole plane shudder. The center engine of the three engines in the back of the plane had failed, and the

Illini look to rebound quickly against Virginia BY BRETT LERNER STAFF WRITER

The quick transition from Thanksgiving break back into work or school is never easy. After the Illinois women’s basketball team went 1-2 at the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands over break, the same will go for head coach Matt Bollant and his squad. Illinois will take on Virginia Wednesday as part of the Big Ten/ACC challenge. The Cavaliers come into the matchup with a 5-1 record. “Virginia is a hungry team, they’re 5-1, they’re 30th in the RPI and are a really good basketball team, so we’ve got our work cut out with another great oppo-

IOTW Ferguson and Donovonn Young combined. “It’s unbelievable how he can just come in, and he knows this offense so well,” senior tight end Matt LaCosse said. “He has a positive attitude and is a great kid on and off the field.” On the field, O’Toole has led the Illini to three Big Ten wins — the most the program has had in a single season since 2010. Off the field, he continues to fill the supportive leadership role he grew accustomed to after spending nearly his entire college career as a backup. After Saturday’s win, O’Toole unselfishly gave all the credit for his career-high rushing game to the offensive line’s blocking, saying it had to be them because it’s “pretty evident” he’s not fast. The senior’s humility is the

nent,” Bollant said. One of the common denominators for the Illini between their two heartbreaking losses was rebounding. Illinois lost the rebounding battle by a total of 27 in the two games. This was something that both Bollant and assistant coach Mike Divilbiss focused heavily on during practice. Freshman center Chatrice White has carried the load on the glass, averaging just under nine rebounds per game, but the coaching staff is looking for others to step up in the rebounding category. Jacqui Grant and Brittany Carter are the two most likely candidates. As a lanky, six foot tall guard,

Bollant expected Carter to contribute on the boards in the offseason. “I have long arms and I can go get (rebounds),” Carter said. “I just need to use my ability to go rebound and box people out, I’m not afraid of contact so maybe just going in and hitting first and using my length to go grab (rebounds).” Another problem the Illini have been running into over the course of the season has been foul trouble. With a young bench and little depth in the post, this is something Bollant has been looking for ways to limit. “We’ve got to be smarter,” Bollant said. “They called it extremely tight

tory. And next Tuesday, will be an opportunity to make everyone forget this loss ever happened, as a game with No. 10 Villanova looms. Groce will go back to the drawing board, prepare his team in practice and have it ready for these next two games in

framework of a leader that offensive coordinator Bill Cubit never thought he’d see from the quarterback when he first came to the program in 2013. “When I first got here that I didn’t think he wanted to compete. I thought he just wanted to be one of the guys,” Cubit said. “I give him so much credit because he’s matured in everything that he was doing. He’s pretty special. It’s kind of why you coach.” Both LaCosse and Young, the quarterback’s closest friends on the team, said they admire the way O’Toole always finds a way to bounce back from tough situations. The Illini players pointed out emotional roadblocks in O’Toole expecting to start his senior year before finding out the program recruited Lunt, and they also pointed out physical challenges on the field. “Kudos to him, because

sometimes when I look at Reilly when he’s going through hard times and I’m like, ‘Damn dude, you really don’t get down,’ ” Young said. “He knows how to fight through stuff.” O’Toole has been sacked 15 times this season and has played through it all, whether that means he’s limping toward the media after the game or not. But on Saturday, O’Toole was limping with pride — struggling through battle wounds he never thought he’d have the opportunity to endure. “I was excited to see him fight the way he fought,” Young said. “People don’t see that. People see stats. They don’t see the person behind it all. That’s one of the toughest dudes I know.”

Dasso is Notre Dame’s most decorated women’s tennis player ever, the school’s first four-time AllAmerican and the 2001 ITA National Senior Player of the Year. After she graduated, Terry, along with Dasso’s parents, sponsored her for two years on the U.S. pro tour. She then returned to Notre Dame to be an assistant coach. “Even when I was in college I knew I was going to be a coach,” Dasso said. “On the pro tour, you are all by yourself, and I always liked the team aspect of college tennis.” In her third season at Notre Dame, Dasso was named the ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year. After that season, Dasso accepted the head coaching job at Illinois, where she has had further success. Dasso’s tennis achievements are no surprise to Terry. “Even when she was young, Michelle showed a lot of potential, and her passion for tennis really showed,” he said. “With her athletic ability, it wasn’t really a matter of if she was going to be successful, but how successful she would be.” Dasso isn’t driven to success for the awards and recognition. Dasso’s success is still driven by the memory of Kimberly. She credits Kimberly with getting her started in tennis, and after the crash, Dasso took it upon herself to see just how far she could go with the sport.

pilots immediately initiated the engine shutdown checklist. As soon as they started the checklist, the pilots noticed that the hydraulic systems on the plane were failing as well. At this point, the pilots shut down the autopilot and began to manually descend the plane. After a distress call to the Minneapolis Air Traffic Control Center, they were directed to conduct an emergency landing at Sioux City Gateway Airport in Sioux City, Iowa. As the crew prepared the passengers for an emergency landing, the pilots began dumping fuel and extending the landing gear. The plane twisted to the right, and with only two engines working, it took all the pilots’ training to keep the plane stable. As they approached the runway of Sioux City Gateway Airport, the pilots straightened the plane out enough to land on the 6,888-foot runway. The pilots couldn’t control the speed of the plane as it descended, however. When the plane hit the ground, it broke in half in a huge fireball. Fortunately, there was a field at the end of the runway, allowing for the two pieces of the plane to skid to a stop without crashing into anything. Due to the expert airmanship of the pilots and the quick thinking of the crew, 185 of the 296 people on board the plane survived the catastrophe. A 10 -year-old Dasso was on a bus on her way back from Aurora, Illinois, where she trained for tennis during parts of the summer. Over the radio, she heard the news of the plane crashing. But, being a child, she made no connection between the accident and her best friend’s flight. It was not until later that she heard the devastating news. She was sitting at home playing Nintendo with her two older brothers, when her mother received a phone call. Dasso was informed that her best friend and godmother were in a major plane crash, and neither of them had survived. After the accident, Kimberly’s father Terry was determined to still be a factor in Dasso’s life. He supported her through the rest of her childhood, and even took her on a few rafting trips. Dasso stuck with tennis after the accident, playing it full time, and ended up on scholarship at Notre Dame in 1997.

(at the Paradise Jam), and I would expect them to call it that way Wednesday night so we better make some adjustments.” Foul trouble could become a big factor against Virginia as the Illini have their hands full guarding the Cavaliers. Junior guard Faith Randolph is third in the ACC at 19.5 points per game, and senior center Sarah Imovbioh is averaging a double-double on the season. Randolph’s scoring will most likely need to be matched by Illini senior Ivory Crawford, who has been on fire as of late. Crawford averaged over 24 points per game in the Paradise Jam.

The end of her tennis career seems to be nowhere in sight. Now the idea of getting her teams to reach their full potential supplies her drive, but there will always be that wooden racquet on the back wall of her office — along with the memory of Kimberly — to remind her how she started and what gave her the drive to be successful. “Your childhood best friend is hard to compare to. I have had teammates and close friends in college that have been great friends, but your first best friend just cannot be replaced,” Dasso said. There was a book released about the Flight 232 crash released in July of this year. It is called “Flight 232: A Story of Disaster and Survival,” and Dasso has a copy, but she can’t bring herself to read it. The book remains on her bedside table, unopened. She doesn’t know when she will read it. Kimberly’s first tennis racquet hangs in Dasso’s office to this day. It is Dasso’s good luck charm. She is happy, but far from satisfied with her playing and coaching career. Now she works to give her players that same drive. “I want them to play hard and dig deep,” she said. “Life is short, sometimes more than others. Play with a sense of purpose and be driven.”

today’s world, there may not be an organization more beguiled and more embroiled in controversy than FIFA. Though it may seem daunting to stand up to an organization with the power of FIFA, the top players, coaches, federations and icons of soccer have a prime opportunity to demand action in the face of FIFA’s latest shameful episode. FIFA’s most recent, and most pressing, controversy is that of the upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar. What began as just another corruption scandal for the organization has morphed into a humanitarian crisis with the potential to put a monstrous blight on the face of the world’s biggest sporting event. FIFA is no stranger to controversy regarding the locations chosen for the World Cup. Brazil was criticized by some for its problems with stadium construction, dangers of crime in some of its cities and the fact that many Brazilians were opposed to hosting the World Cup in the first place. The site of the next World Cup, Russia, has also been criticized for its adoption of anti-gay laws and its recent invasion of Eastern Ukraine and annexation of Crimea. None of these locations, though, present the problems that FIFA’s awarding of the World Cup to Qatar have. Qatar being chosen to host the World Cup should be enough to cause outrage. Allegations of corruption have been rampant since Qatar was awarded the event in 2011. The allegations are essentially that members of the Qatari World Cup bid committee bribed FIFA officials. These allegations were given greater credence given the recent revelation in an FBI report that detailed that a FIFA official received $2 million in compensation from members of the Qatari bid committee. Outside of corruption being the reason Qatar was awarded the World

Cup, the prospect of the small Arab Gulf nation playing host is rife with other issues. Much of this has to do with Qatar’s questionable record on numerous human rights issues from gender equality to LGBT rights. From a fan perspective, a potential World Cup in Qatar has numerous problems. Qatar’s laws prohibiting the sale and consumption of alcohol may drive fans away from attending and mean the loss of sponsorship revenue from alcohol manufacturers. Then there is the prospect of the weather. Summer temperatures in Qatar can often be as high as 120°F. If the heat causes problems for players in Brazil, imagine what an even hotter climate can result in. To minimize the effects of the heat, there have been calls to move the tournament to the winter. Such a decision will undoubtedly be met with resistance from leagues in Europe, who would be forced to change their schedules. All the problems associated with a potential World Cup in Qatar pale in comparison to the humanitarian crisis. Qatar has been roundly criticized for its treatment of the large population of foreign migrant workers employed in stadium construction. According to a report by Amnesty International, migrant workers are paid little, are forced to work in poor conditions and are denied access to visas. By all accounts, Qatar is using slave labor in preparation for 2022. So far, over 1,200 workers have died. Nothing, not even the World Cup, is worth the death of thousands. Imagine the shame of Germany or Brazil celebrating in a stadium thousands of workers died to build. For all of these reasons, it is time for the soccer community to demand en masse that FIFA move the 2022 World Cup. FIFA is a powerful entity in itself, but the football federations of Germany, England, Brazil and Argentina are also organizations that hold tremendous influence. Calls to action — and even threats to boy-

cott the World Cup if not moved from Qatar — from the powers of world soccer may be just what is needed to force the issue. The current stars of soccer, from Messi to Ronaldo, should actively take a stand and encourage other players to say enough is enough. Former greats and current ambassadors to the sport such as Pele and Diego Maradona and Franz Beckebauer should wield their high stature to convince FIFA President Sepp Blatter to move the World Cup. Lastly, one should call upon corporate sponsors to threaten to boycott and pull out of advertising. Such an action from multibillion-dollar multinational corporations may be what ultimately forces FIFA’s hand. It’s time to hit FIFA where it hurts: its bank account. In many ways, lobbying from the entire soccer community is not only important, it is necessary. It may sound alarmist, but the World Cup in Qatar absolutely cannot happen. It would be a brutal disgrace to the event, and to the sport. Not to mention the public outcry and anger that would be directed at FIFA. Like the Olympics, the World Cup is a global event that represents the power of sports in uniting cultures across the globe for a unifying event. An event like the World Cup is supposed to exemplify the progress the world has made. Moving the World Cup away from Qatar might be the defining issue in the soccer community, and given that burden, it is the responsibility of the icons of the sport to demand that FIFA be on the side of human rights and dignity. It should even fall upon the shoulders of every sports fan, soccer fan or not, to be aware of the corruption and abuses associated with the world’s most popular sporting event. The lives of countless more migrant workers may lie in the balance.

Baseball travels out of US for humanitarian work A tiny, penury country, the Dominican Republic has been a factory for professional baseball players. Of the 856 players on 30 big league rosters, the disabled list and restricted list, the Dominican produced 89 of them. This isn’t including High/Low A, Double A, Triple A and any of the levels in-between. Why is baseball so big in this poverty-stricken country? Well, the answer is the same reason why soccer is so big in Hispanic and European countries, and why cricket is so big in India and Sri Lanka. Not only because the sport is fun to play, but also because, for the players, it is a chance to escape, a chance to be like

the Sammy Sosa’s of the past and the Robinson Cano’s of the present. Baseball isn’t just a game, but a way of life in the Dominican Republic; the Illinois baseball team decided to use its Thanksgiving break to travel there. This was the baseball program’s first trip outside of the country. Sports teams are allowed to take trips like this once every four years, and the baseball coaching staff is confident the team benefitted from the trip. “So many great things come out of it: 10 extra practice days, as many games as you want. And chemistry, all the camaraderie that comes in a season we get taken care of before,” said Andrew Dick-

inson, assistant coach. “So many things come from it on a baseball side, but also on the humanitarian side.” On the baseball side of things, the Illini finished 5-21 in eight games on the week while hitting .219 and posting a 2.65 ERA with 59 strikeouts in 68 innings. Rob McDonnell turned in the best pitching performance of the trip for the Illini, tossing six strikeouts and giving up one run in just four innings of work against the Chicago White Sox Academy. Outfielder Pat McInerney hit the Illini’s only two home runs of the trip and collected six RBIs. “Pitching-wise, pitchers threw strikes and were around the zone,” assistant coach Spencer Allen said. “Position

player-wise, guys were pretty resilient at the plate, and we won some close games late. Defensively, we played very well.” The competition on the trip was a tough test for the Orange and Blue. Every team except for the Dominican Air Force was filled with professional players, or an affiliate of a major league team. Actual baseball was just one part of the trip for the Illini. The team also took the chance to do some humanitarian work. The entire team visited an orphanage, bringing equipment for the kids to use, in addition to being 36 role models and playmates for the kids to meet, even if only for a day. “We go to the orphanage and the kids grab your hand

and lead you away to go play on a teeter-totter, or the monkey bars, or basketball, volleyball,” Dickinson said. “We got off our bus one day and all these Dominican women started chanting IL-LI-NOIS like they were our biggest fans.” When asked about the orphanage visit, Allen said, “This was a good life lesson for our guys.” Both coaches said that the team benefitted from seeing the situation that the less-fortunate live in. When asked if the team would consider going again, Dickinson said, “I definitely think it will be a thing where we go four years now.”

College Football Playoff needs work New system is exciting, but needs to expand MICHAL DWOJAK Sports columnist

ost kids are greedy. I was greedy as a child, and I’m sure you were too. “He got more” or “That’s not enough” were a few of my favorite phrases when it came to cookies or candy. Kids always want more, and when they don’t get their way, your ears will pay the price. This is a good way to describe the college football playoff situation. For years, people complained about the flawed BCS system and how it didn’t accurately choose a champion. An early-season loss ended the hope of winning a championship. Nearly every college football fan had a solution, but no one was interested in listening to one another. Well, the football gods finally relented and created the College Football Playoff. An educated committee will select four elite teams to compete for a new trophy. The 13 bright minds on the committee will use strength of schedule and other factors to decide who will participate. Finally, a justified team will be crowned college

football’s best. Four teams ought to settle things and make the masses happy, right? Wrong. Yes, fans were happy that the leaders of college football finally came to their senses and created a playoff system, but fans also had a lot of questions. Who’s in the committee? How do we make sure that the committee isn’t corrupt? But most importantly, why are there only four teams? The fans’ concerns were

If eight teams are used, five of the teams would come from the championship games of each of the Power 5 conferences (SEC, Big Ten, ACC, Big 12 and PAC-12). That rewards the champion teams for all their hard work. It also adds meaning to each championship game besides just a trophy and a few coaches’ bonuses. The committee will choose the remaining three teams at-large. It can be a team who competed in one of the championship games or it can be a team from a non-Power 5 conference that had a strong schedule and could create a buzz in the playoff. It’s up to the committee to make the decision. With eight teams, there is an increased sense of excitement. Yes, the last month of college football has been exciting because any loss could cost a team the opportunity to play in the playoff. There are even more scenarios that can play out. More spots create more opportunities for more teams, meaning that even more games are important because of the impact those games could have. This would be the closest college football can get to a March Madness feel. More upsets could happen, especially if a non-Power 5 team upsets an SEC team or an ACC team that never seems to lose. The eventual champion would have to beat two teams fighting for a chance to be named the

Many experts believe that after a few years, the playoff will be expanded to an eight-team playoff, but why wait? valid, which is why the playoff committee will needs to expand the playoff to eight teams in the near future. Four teams are simply not enough. Yes, it’s a step up from the previous system, but having just four teams doesn’t ensure that you’ll have the best team. In a hypothetical season of five teams with undefeated or identical records, how can the committee decide one team makes it in and another doesn’t?

HYOSUB SHIN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Amari Cooper (9) gains yards against the Virginia Tech Hokies on Aug. 31, 2013. Alabama is one of the top four teams projected to make the inaugural College Football Playoff. nation’s best team — how much more excitement can you get? Eight teams also ensures that the six traditional bowl games — the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl and Peach Bowl — will be played with meaning each year and it creates the possibility of adding two more bowl games into the tradition. With all of those bowls

come the additional revenues from TV, advertising, food and drink sales and ticket sales, something that we all know schools and conferences are eager to accept. So it makes sense that there should be eight teams in the College Football Playoff, just as it made sense to move into a playoff system. Many experts believe that after a few years, the play-

off will be expanded to an eight-team playoff, but why wait? Act now. But that won’t be enough. By that time, the fans will be stomping and yelling again, because they’ll want a 16-team bracket.
