Research Park center will offer 12 part-time positions
BY KATHERINE BONCHER STAFF WRITER
Ameren Corporation, a Fortune 500 energy company based out of St. Louis, held a ribboncutting ceremony Tuesday to commemorate the opening of its Innovation Center at Research Park. Chancellor Phyllis Wise, Mayor Don Gerard and State Rep. Carol Ammons, D-103, were among those in attendance. Ameren has been building a relationship with the University for several years now, said Laura Weisskopf Bleill, assistant director for external relations at Research Park. In the past, the company has
worked on research projects with the College of Engineering. The decision to open an Innovation Center in Urbana-Champaign was made because of the University’s emphasis on engineering and green technology. “The University is looking forward to an ever deepening and widening relationship with (Ameren),” Wise said. “The Ameren Innovation Center will give our students the opportunity to work on smart energy solutions for the Midwest and beyond.” The center will be opening up part-time employment opportunities for up to 12 University students.

Meier’s bill, HB 150 , “prohibits universities and community colleges from knowingly employing a person who has been convicted of attempting to commit, conspiring to commit, soliciting, or committing the offense of terrorism or any offense committed or attempted in any other state or against the laws of the United States.” Kilgore was a member of the radical Symbionese Liberation Army, known for the kidnapping

Team Illini makes finals Illini students to solve energy problem in BP’s competition BY LIYUAN YANG STAFF WRITER
A group of chemical engineering students from the University has advanced to the national finals of BP’s Ultimate Field Trip competition, where Team Illini will compete against six other universities this spring to win the “trip of a lifetime” to the company’s natural gas operations in Trinidad and Tobago. The annual competition asks students from across the country who are studying in science, technology, engineering and mathemat-
ics (STEM) fields to solve a real-world global energy problem. “BP believes that addressing America’s energy challenges requires long-term partnerships between the private sector and leading educational and scientific institutions,” said Khymberly Booth, U.S. university relations director for BP, in a statement. “The UFT has proven to be a fun and effective way to do just that.” The six other teams moving onto the finals are: Aquasolve from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Aquam Inc from Pennsylvania State University; Owls from Rice University; The Maroon COG from Texas A&M University; Blastoise from the University of Oklahoma; and Roden Analytics from the University of Texas.

Team Illini, Sean Ebihara (chemistry major), Ivan Villamar and Patrick Regan (chemical engineering majors), are sophomores. This year, BP asked participants to find a solution for cleaning the contaminated water created by the oil industry. “One of the things about the competition is that you will never know what problem you are going to get this year,” Villamar said. He considers this to be the biggest challenge of the competition. Ebihara said another big challenge is finding the “novel solution” to the problem. He pointed out that there are already thousands of engineers in the industry who are trying to solve the same problem, so coming up with an innovative solution is the

A proposed $23.1 million sports medicine and orthopedics facility by Carle Foundation may offer new benefits for student-athletes and students studying sports science and medical care. Carle has applied to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board for an Orthopedics and Sports Medicine facility and will address the board later this spring. The 52,000 square-foot facility would be located in Research Park, bordering First and Fourth streets and sitting south of Gerty Drive and north of West Windsor Road. The central location of the facility is ideal for the sports medicine staff since they travel to support local schools and events, Caleb Miller, vice president of surgical services at Carle, said in an email. “Carle Orthopedics is proud to partner with the University of Illinois (Division) of Intercollegiate Athletics for the medical treatment of their athletes,” Miller wrote. “And the facility allows us to provide a convenient location when they need care.” Miller also said Carle currently provides educational opportunities to University students and they will look at future opportunities as they move forward with this project. The facility will feature a 32,800 square-foot clinical area, which will include 66 exam rooms, a therapy gym

Carle Foundation proposes 52,000 square-foot facility Project cost: $23.1 million Estimated completion: Jan. 31, 2017 Location: University’s Research Park Will feature 32,806 square feet of clinical space, including: Q Exam and procedure rooms for orthopedic and sports medicine providers Q Physical therapy gym and sports enhancement training and offices, Mark Schultz, public relations specialist for Carle, said in an email. Schultz said there is an increasing number of people with needs for orthopedic services in the ChampaignUrbana area. In 2014, Carle saw a 9.9 percent increase in exams relating to orthopedics and sports medicine. To meet the rising demand, Carle is currently recruiting orthopedic specialists to address the demand they are seeing for specialized orthopedic care, including treatment such as arthroscopic procedures and joint replacement. Carle’s current facilities for orthopedics weren’t originally designed to function as orthopedic practices. Orthopedic services for upper extremity, hip, knee, foot and ankle care are located in the Mattis facility and the sports medicine care is located at
X-ray rooms Cast bays Will feature 19,194 square feet of non-clinical space, including: Q Administrative space for leadership, case management and insurance experts Q Sports performance enhancement space Q Mechanical components and other building systems Q Q

the Carle North Annex, just north of Interstate 74. This new facility would allow the orthopedic practice to be united under one roof and Carle believes it will enhance patient care. The facility would also allow for the additional space needed for patients in wheelchairs or who are using crutches or walkers. University spokeswoman Robin Kaler said the University could not comment on pending real-estate transactions. Laura Frerichs, Research Park Director, and Paul Schmidt, director of sports medicine for the Fighting Illini, were also unable to comment. According to Carle’s application, the estimated project completion date would be January 31, 2017.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to block gay marriages in Alabama, but the state’s top judge over the weekend ordered probate judges not to issue marriage licens-
es to same-sex couples. In some counties, probate judges ignored Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore’s order but many listened, refusing to allow samesex marriages as ordered by the federal courts. According to the Human Rights Campaign, a group backing gay marriage, 50 of Alabama’s 67 counties were refusing to issue marriage licenses to samesex couples, down from Monday when at least 53 counties were taking that position.

ISS to consider resolution on Wednesday Senate opposes new resolution on Title IX hearings BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS STAFF WRITER
Student governments across the Big 10 are fighting the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights proposal to bar students from participating as adjudicators in Title IX discipline hearings related to sexual assault. Title IX, a federal civil right, prohibits sexual discrimination in education and addresses acts of sex-
ual violence. The University’s current policy allows for student participation and according to Vice President-Internal Sarah Hochman, that is how it should remain. “It’s important that we continue our commitment to shared governance at the University,� Hochman said. “Having students in these panels listening to these cases offers a unique perspective, the training is thorough; I’ve been through it.� After the Department of Education’s proposal was made in 2014, the Association of Big 10 Students met in January and agreed to use this issue as a focus for the upcoming Big 10 On The
Hill lobbying event in Washington D.C. At its Wednesday meeting, the Illinois Student Senate will look at a resolution for information in opposition of the proposal. Students that participate in conduct hearings receive mandatory training, similar to faculty members, in confidentiality, procedures and other processes, according to the resolution. Additionally, it states students provide peer perspectives in conduct hearings, which administrators and faculty may lack. Matt Hill, vice presidentinternal, said he believes the training and application process students go through should be valid
enough reason for them to sit in on panels regarding their peers if the victim chooses to go through University processes. The Illinois Student Senate has been focused on bringing attention to sexual assault on campus this year and has been heavily involved with the “It’s On Us� national campaign to raise awareness for a community responsibility regarding sexual assault. If passed this Wednesday for information, the resolution will be up for debate at its following meeting on Feb. 18.

ENGINEERING key to success. Regan emphasized that researching a good idea is hard work because the solution is expected to be feasible, implementable within 10 years, completely original, environmentally sustainable and friendly, and also financially viable for BP. Team Illini members are currently working on a four-minute video, a technical poster and preparing for their final presentation that will be demonstrated this April at the national finals. Despite the vast workload of research and interviews with professors and graduate students, all three members said they are enjoying the preparation process because of what they have learned so far. “I think what this competi-
did not calm enough before the 6:05 p.m. EST launch target, forcing SpaceX to scrub the attempt. The next attempt will be Wednesday at 6:03 p.m. EST. If SpaceX cannot launch then, the next opportunity will not come until Feb. 20. In the week between now and then, the gravitational pull of the moon would affect the rocket’s trajectory enough to
require additional fuel. The first attempt Sunday was aborted because of a problem with the Air Force’s radar tracking system, and SpaceX passed on Monday because of bad weather. Once the launch fi nally occurs, attention will be split between the satellite going up, and the rocket’s firststage booster coming down. As the rocket’s second
stage pushes the Deep Space Climate Observatory into space, the 14-story-tall first stage will power back down toward what could be the first successful soft landing on an unmanned barge in the Atlantic Ocean. SpaceX is running the test landing privately, independently of its first deep-space mission to send the satellite into space.
tion really teaches us is that you really need to pull from a lot of different sources,� Ebihara said. He added that no one can win this competition as just a chemical engineer; only cooperating with sources across every field can make an idea reality. After more than a month’s preparation, the group has settled on their final solution. “We’re actually using stuff from the field of biology, bacteria and how they actually precipitate out certain heavy metals and other toxic elements,� Ebihara said. “You usually end up pulling something that you never thought would have been associated with what you’re trying to do, or the, I guess, ‘status quo’ ways to process those types of waste.� Team Illini said this competition is a unique opportunity to them not only in terms of academic experience, but
also for career opportunities. The UFT Competition gives them a chance to apply what they have learned in the classroom to something real by doing a lot of studying and research outside of class to make their idea a reality. Villamar said their competition comes from both big and small universities. Competing against the other six universities made him realize everyone has the same mental potential that should not be undermined. “That’s something I’m proud we had, we got to see how we stack up to these other universities,� Villamar said. “We gotta give ourselves some credit for what we do. And it showed, everything up to this point has been a good gauge.� Although the burden of a heavy workload made them more vulnerable to giving up, Regan said advancing in the competition kept the team
motivated. When talking about their final goal, they all agreed that its the learning experience that matters most. Villamar said his goal of this competition is to see how far they can take it and how well they can really do. “That’s how I kind of looked at it, you know, we can go out from this and not move on to the next stage but at the end of the day, we still got to learn about something that we didn’t get a chance to before,� Ebihara said. The final competition will be held April 9 in Houston, where BP’s U.S. headquarters is located. The winning team will get a two-week field trip to BP’s natural gas operations in Trinidad and Tobago, along with winning teams from the United Kingdom, Canada and Angola.

He has also appeared on nationallysyndicated news programs like Fox News’ Kelly File to promote his legislation. “It seems ridiculous to me (that) while we’re fighting terrorists across the world, spending millions of dollars, that our taxpayers are here, (we’re) paying for a convicted terrorist, who was on the run and had to be extradited back to America,� said Meier.

Proposed bill disregards concept of rehabilitation
T
he political targeting of University professor James Kilgore hasn’t stopped — in fact, it’s headed to the state legislature. In January, Representative Charles Meier (ROkawville) introduced a bill to the Illinois General Assembly proposing that all people convicted of terrorism in the past are banned from teaching at public universities in the state of Illinois. It’s obvious that this bill is directed at the University’s hiring of James Kilgore, who was convicted of second-degree murder for his role in an armed robbery while he was a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, a terrorist organization. The bill also targets retired UIC professor Bill Ayers, who founded the radical group Weather Underground, which many people consider a terrorist organization. We’ve written about this topic before, but this bill brings up our point again. According to the American justice system, once a person is released from prison, that person is rehabilitated. While the decisions that get people into prison in the first place may certainly be bad and worthy of punishment, these people should be able to live a full life after they are released. They should have this opportunity because being rehabilitated indicates they have served time and met the standards to be released in the first place. They should not be denied entire career paths. Some people may argue that people convicted of terrorism are more dangerous than people convicted of other felonies, but it shouldn’t matter if their time was served and they have been rehabilitated. We previously referenced a quote from campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler in a March 22 Chicago SunTimes article where she said in reference to Kilgore, “He does a great job. He’s very well-respected among students... He is a good example of someone who has been rehabilitated, if you believe in second chances and redemption, and he’s someone who helps prove that’s the human thing to do.� Everyone deserves a second chance. Meier admitted that the bill is targeted at the University’s hiring of Kilgore, and, in an interview with The Daily Illini, he said, “I just find that this idea that we would let convicted terrorists whose whole plan was to destroy America teach our youth (is absurd).� The thing is, we are not letting terrorists teach our youth. We are allowing opportunities for people to have second chances at life after past decisions and instances that have been punished and learned from. There is a world of difference. What’s the point of prison if you can’t live a full life after you’re out?

HAPPY SATURDAY
NOTHING TO WINE ABOUT
As noted by two opinions columnists this week, there is much to be celebrated this upcoming Saturday: Valentine’s Day and the 10th birthday of YouTube. Many may have their reservations about the “love is in the air� holiday, and others may not care to pay tribute to the video viewing website, but we think these two momentous events allow for the perfect storm of ultimate weekend plans. Step 1: Buy heartshaped chocolate at Walgreens. Step 2: Put on “groutfit.� Step 3: Search funny clips from “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon� on YouTube. Step 4: Sit on couch and commence a night of candy, laziness and laughter, all in celebration of what we are now calling “ValenTube’s Day.�
You know how everyone tries to eat celery — even if they hate it — because it supposedly burns calories? Well, for those 21 and up, next time you go to the store, pick up a bottle of Merlot and put the stalks down. We already knew a little bit of wine was good for you in some way, but it’s always nice to have that information confirmed for many people’s favorite dinner accompaniment drink. Recent studies by various scientists have found that there is a chance that wine could burn fat because of extracts found in dark red grapes. The study is mainly proven by mice, but, hey, it’s a start!

WICKED KANYE (OF THE) WEST
FASHION BACKWARD
This past Sunday, we all gathered around our TVs, sweatpants on, bag of chips in hand, to watch yet another star-studded event: The Grammys. Upon Beck’s reception of Albums of the Year, Kanye West pulled a Kanye West. He came up to the stage, nearly recreating the infamous moment between him and Taylor Swift at the Video Music Awards in 2009, and later went on a whiny rant about how Beck should have given the award up to Beyonce. Luckily, many have come to Beck’s defense including the lead singer of Garbage, Shirley Manson, who had some wise words for West. Moral of the story: Hey Kanye, grow up and be nice.
Urban Outfitter’s tapestries are the epitome of the typical twenty-something-year-old’s apartment decor. When you can’t paint over white walls, they seem to have a print to please everyone. But recently, one of their prints has proven to be a bit more historic than aesthetically pleasing. The tapestry is being criticized for its striking similarity to uniforms worn in Holocaust concentration camps. This also follows in the wake of a Kent State sweater that appeared to have fake blood splatter was sold by the company. Maybe, Urban, you should focus on creating new styles versus offensive pieces inspired by touchy pasts. Just a thought.
Log into Facebook less, experience more ALEXANDRA SWANSON Opinions columnist
We
spend too much time on Facebook. I know it, and you know it; this is not new information. And yet, most of us still log on many, many times each day. I’ve already checked my page since starting this column. From my perspective, there are two factors that contribute to this addiction. First, many of us feel that the degree to which Facebook is present in our lives is a given or inevitable if we have an account, although it is not. Second, although we know we should stop checking Facebook so often, it doesn’t feel imperative. But, I think we are approaching a level at which it is in fact critical to cut back. I want to be clear: I am not advocating quitting Facebook altogether. I think it has become an integral part of the way that college students communicate. But, the amount that we use it has gotten out of hand. It disrupts our ability to focus on academic work, to listen in class and even to be fully present in social situations. Yes, this is an issue with all social media sites. But,
Internet users, on average, spend more time on Facebook than any other website or social media account. Therefore when looking for ways to increase efficiency, you should begin by focusing on cutting back on this site. I recently came across a startling statistic, which is that the average Facebook user spends more time every day browsing the website than they do spending time with their pets. People may even spend more time posting pictures or creating Facebook pages for their pets than they spend taking care of them. It’s troubling, and quite sad, that the average person prioritizes browsing through a social media site over interacting with a pet, a living being for which the owner is responsible. Perhaps even more alarming are the results of the sites that allow you to calculate the amount of time you have cumulatively spent on Facebook since joining. I probably spend about forty minutes a day on Facebook, which is around average. This unfortunately means that I’ve spent 64 days, seven hours and five minutes cumulatively on the site since joining six years ago. While that is absurd, it is obviously not atypical. Facebook, when used in excess, can heavily detract from students’ academic per-
formance and perhaps even their social lives. Constantly checking Facebook each hour while working on homework can lengthen the process or lead to an unfinished assignment. Further, the need to constantly update our Facebook profiles can cause us students to feel distracted and not totally present during time with friends — the real friends, not Facebook ones. For the sake of preserving these priorities, we need to start logging on fewer times each day. But for all this, no one should feel ashamed of his or her Facebook addiction. There are psychological reasons why Facebook appeals so strongly to us. There are many researchers and psychologists today who are interested in that attraction. Funnily, there is even a Facebook group that is devoted to studying the psychology of Facebook. One of the biggest reasons, according to Psychology Today, that we are so drawn to the site is because it boosts our self-esteem. We are able to see, in quantitative terms, exactly how many people have liked our profile picture, how many pictures we posted this week, how many friends we have, etc. This usually seems especially important to college age users. This allows us to construct a repre-
sentation of ourselves however we like, which is an attractive promise. Although this is a common aspect of most social media sites, because of Facebook’s overwhelming popularity, that specific representation may seem more important to Internet users. I understand and support the building of a reputable online identity. But the problem is that most of the time that we are on Facebook, we are browsing other profiles rather than building our own. In that way, Facebook can quickly become a breeding ground for unproductiveness. Students would do better to put the hours spent on Facebook toward building a more concrete, in-person reputation rather than a virtual one. My own opinion is that a lot of our addiction is simply habit; we are accustomed to taking out our smartphones and checking Facebook first thing. Although I don’t believe it is feasible for college students to do away with it completely, we should be a little smarter about the amount of time we spend on it. Take it a step at a time. Log on a few less times each day. Keep reminding yourself that you’re going to be more efficient and happier after you do.

Keep your Valentine’s hate to yourself STEPHANIE YOUSSEF Opinions columnist
W
ith the recent increase in sappy, televised jewelry commercials, heart-shaped chocolates and expensive bouquet arrangements at local markets, it is easy to notice that Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. What began as the feast day of the patron saint of love, is now the day when radio stations play love songs, when florists feel the pain of working retail and when couples make plans to celebrate their love. And with the rise in flower sales and Barry White on the radio comes the inevitable surge of complaints from haters who resent Valentine’s Day. You hear these grumbles and gripes from a variety of people of all genders and sexualities everywhere you go: “I’m throwing a Galentine’s Day party because I’m independent and strong and don’t need a relationship.� “I don’t participate in it because it’s just a Hallmark holiday that manipulates
shoppers into spending more money.� “I’m glad I’m single because I don’t have to spend money buying a girl chocolates.� “I’m going to die alone with a bunch of cats.� In the past, I have participated in the attempted verbal assault on Valentine’s Day (I’m the perpetually single cat lady), yet I can’t help but feel that as maturing adults we should make more humble efforts to rise above the unnecessary complaints. It isn’t easy to ignore the sickly sweet smell of candy hearts at the market when shopping for groceries. But verbally emphasizing the fact that you don’t partake in consumerism — as if Valentines’ Day is the only holiday manipulated by companies and advertisers to emphasize gifting and gluttony — is ineffective. As an adult, to prove your aversion to the marketing ploys, you should ignore the aisles of pink and red, pick up your groceries and ditch the middle school hissy fit. In trying to concede that you pay no mind to the frivolousness of marketing, any complaining disproves your argument. Some may argue that Val-
entine’s Day adds pressure on people who are single because of the emphasis it puts on relationships. In reaction, people either combat this pressure by professing what little the holiday means to them or by wallowing in self-pity and collecting furry felines. Those who outspokenly profess their mental strength in an attempt to persuade others (and probably themselves) of their independence come off as artificial, try-hard and unconvincing. I find it amusing that these individuals fail to recognize the hypocrisy in the equivalent of shouting “I don’t care� through a megaphone. If you really aren’t affected by Valentine’s Day, prove it by not talking about it. The fact that you feel the need to brag about your “I don’t need a relationship� mentality reveals a false sense of security. The very act of bringing it up defies your point. On the other hand, those who complain that being single on Valentine’s Day in college equates to a life of perpetual isolation have an absurdly inflated sense of struggle. It is a rather ridiculous and rushed assertion that as barely 20 year
olds, we should already have our personal lives completely figured out. You are not the only 20-something who is single on Feb.150 14. Unless you wake up every day basking in misery about your relationship status (or lack thereof), treat Valentine’s Day like any other day. Complaining does nothing but make you and those around you miserable. Overall, the solution to the futile time-waster that is complaining is quite simple: Don’t do it. If you are against Valentine’s Day, great, keep it to yourself. Trying to tear down the holiday because it doesn’t apply to you is the pinnacle of arrogance. The Saturday celebrations are going to ensue regardless of your attempts. I could continue and write a whole dissertation on the subject of “why nobody should complain about anything ever because it is unproductive,� but for the sake of brevity we can end this on the subject of Valentine’s Day and call it part one. Baby steps.

INTERRACIAL teaches interpersonal and sexual communication at the University, said that what remains a great challenge for interracial relationships is the lack of support they might receive from extended family and parents. “The people in this relationship, the couple, they’re ready for those challenges, ready to compromise, willing to think about how this is going to work, but they don’t get that support from their families, and that’s the biggest hurdle,� Ramey said. Priyal Amin, junior in LAS, is a first-generation, American-born daughter of Indian immigrants. Trent Rehusch, senior in LAS, has German roots. But Amin and Rehusch have never thought of themselves as an interracial couple. Amin and Rehusch see themselves as just a couple, not mixed-race, miscegenation, interracial or whatever other word one can label two people of different backgrounds who love one another. They’re just a couple. “Really the only time it came up for me was when I met her family,� Rehusch said. “Especially because she’s first generation born in America, so it’s like different value systems. I was a little nervous about that.� Amin explained that her parents had an arranged marriage and were not very accustomed to the culture of dating. “When it comes to the families, that’s when it’s like, ‘Oh, wow, we are different,’� she said For Cross and Okeke, Cross said her father does not have a problem with her relationship at all. But Cross and her father have conflicting views relating to race, sparked by recent events such as those in Ferguson last summer. “It caused a big conflict between me and my dad,�
Cross said. “I (had to say,) ‘Dad, I just really need you to see that this means something more to me than it would if I were not dating Cameron.’ ... I think it’s important to recognize that you are going to have very different experiences in a lot of ways.�
Identifying the problem But even among Millennialpeers, Okeke and Cross believe the notion that their age group is the most “tolerant� generation should be taken in context. “I feel that we may be progressive cognitively but we’re still programmed the same way, we’re still exposed to the same insecurities of different races and how they’re supposed to be,� Okeke said. “There are still definitely places where people are uncomfortable or give looks; places you wouldn’t think it would happen, but it happens a lot.� Social influence, a term in sociology, describes how others affect one’s emotions, opinions and behaviors. An aspect of social influence is compliance, which is the act of behaving a certain way to fit into societal norms and expectations while keeping true sentiments private. This part of human behavior may provide a scientific explanation for why society on the surface seems so progressive but its behavior tells a different story. “It’s one of those things you can’t get down on paper,� Okeke said. “If you ask people, they’ll probably say yes, that conceptually they do (support interracial relationships) but when they see it, they’re like, ‘Oh, that’s a little bit weird’ or they look (at those couples) a little bit longer.� Cross agreed that a problem in society and with interracial relationships is the large tendency for people to say that they wished no one cared what race anyone was. “It sounds really nice

on the surface, but that has a tendency to ignore the realities of people that aren’t white,� she said. “So I feel like that’s not the way to approach it. I think it’s best to say it’s okay that their race matters to them because that’s a part of their identity.� Skepticism of mixed race couples can come from within minority groups as well. Okeke said he believes that in the U.S. people live under this idea of white supremacy in that there is an ideal of what a beautiful woman is — and that is white. “I mean I’ve had people say, ‘Oh, you don’t like black girls because you’re dating a white girl,’ and I’m like, that’s preposterous. But that is what people think because there are instances of that in history. ... I think you do get people being upset with or being uncomfortable with interracial couples in minority groups or people of color groups because they think they’re picking a side or they hate themselves which is thoroughly untrue,� Okeke said.
For any relationship to be successful, Ramey said there needs to be open communication. People shouldn’t be afraid to talk to their partners about tense or uncomfortable topics. “You can have that passion and chemistry and emotional intimacy, but ultimately you have to decide that you want to be committed to someone, and I think people don’t like to think that relationships have this cognitive component,� Ramey said. “We kind of have this expectation that it’s all romance and flowers and fun, but there is a little bit of a decision; I want to be with you and I want to stay with you.�

University professors find multitasking can be useful BY MANISHA VENKAT CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Whether it’s Apple’s 1984 Super Bowl commercial or Budweiser’s iconic friendship between a puppy and Clydesdale, companies use content within a commercial to evoke everything from laughter to tears. But it is not only the content that changes within the advertising world. Brittany Duff, assistant professor of Advertising at the University, along with Sela Sar, associate professor of advertising at the University, have found in a recent study published in the Journal of Advertising that even when users multitask on the computer, advertisements may still be successful. “There are personality predictors (by) using which you can see if people multitask or not,� Duff said. “There were a couple of differences; in the national sample, factors like age affected the level of media multitasking; however, with our students, you don’t see that, because they’re pretty much the same age and are multitasking more than older people. There is also sensation seeking. People who multitask a lot have a need for sensations and are therefore, more attracted to things that provide that. We also found that they tend to be more creative.� Duff’s research stands out in its approach, because it seeks to measure the effectiveness of advertisements on viewers, who are less attentive to it. This is a contrast to most studies in advertising, which require participants’ undivided attention. The research was conducted both on campus and nationally with a local pool of 56 participants and a national pool of 186 participants. The research process began by
segmenting participants into those who multitask regularly and those who don’t. The advertisement used in the research was British and was pre-tested to be unfamiliar to the participants, according to Duff. Participants were either supposed to watch only the ads or watch them and respond to other tasks at the same time like watching flashing dots and letters. Classifying the subjects into analytic and holistic processors, the results determined the impact of an online advertisement. Duff described analytic processors to pay most attention to the focal point and blur out the details. In contrast, holistic processors tend to grasp the entire picture instead of focusing on one specific detail only. “I am interested, broadly, in consumer attention, and I look at it in a couple of different ways,� Duff said. “I look at it in terms of the ads people tend to ignore, and I also look at ads that don’t receive full attention.� Most advertisements nowadays are an integral component of other mainstream media like TV or radio, according to Duff, and she advised it would not be useful to blindly tell clients that their target audience is dominantly holistic or analytic. Duff said the subject pools were evenly segmented into analytic and holistic processors. Not one side was imbalanced enough to skew the results. Duff said it is also important to note that people can switch between these two processing methods and aren’t necessarily stuck on one side. Her study diminishes the fear of multitasking, and the concept of mind-wandering played an integral role, said Duff.
“When people were doing tasks that they were less interested in with low-level additional distractions, they actually retained the work done better later,� she said. However, Duff also strictly points out that this case may not apply across the board. “I am not going to make any statements on what a student should or should not be allowed to do (in the classroom). That is completely up to the professor,� she said. “Sometimes when you are forced to listen to something, you will find out later that it is actually interesting and useful.� In the media industry, it now makes more sense to insert ads that advertisers want the viewer to process holistically, when one is watching a TV show that makes one generally happy. According to Duff, one of the biggest concerns of advertisers too is that their audience might not be paying attention to their work at all. This research explores a lesser known possibility and the findings are in their favor. “Based on the research I have done, which mostly looks at the upper limit tasks that require a lot of attention, would I say that someone could text and drive at the same time? Never,� Duff said. “Those aren’t things that you should do, because you are actually thinking about your responses to friends. If you need complete attention in doing something, is multitasking going to hurt? Yes. However, I’m interested in that lower limit, that task that you don’t need as much attention for.�

A group set a spread of traditional Korean foods, including Bulgogi, a marinated meat dish; Kimchijeon, a pancake-like item; and Japchae, a dish made of sweet potato noodles, ready to share. The event was part of iCU, an intercultural dialogue series put on by the Office of
Inclusion and Intercultural Relations (OIIR). The event name stands for the slogan “Now I see what you mean.� The series began last semester as a way to connect international and domestic students on campus. As people grabbed plates, they began to move and mingle with other attendees as the organizers set up the two presentations, one focused on music and one on Korean dramas. Yun Shi, program director

The theme for the iCU event was based around Korean pop culture, but the series will cover topics like Korean cooking techniques and the Lunar New Year in the coming weeks. Shi said the program allows domestic students to widen their world view by learning about new cultures and combating stereotypes. The conversations also help international students feel welcome on campus and enjoy the U.S. culture. “In a safe space and informal (and) friendly environment, with people interested in listening, learning and sharing, international students feel appreciated and valued for their contribution to the global understanding,� Shi wrote in an email. “They therefore become more com-

fortable in engaging in intercultural dialogues.� Last semester, iCU focused on Chinese culture through ChinaTalks. Shi said because the events received positive feedback and were wellattended, with approximately 25 to 45 students coming each week, OIIR continued the series this semester with “K-wave,� which is hosted in conjunction with the Korean Student Association. Teddy Bae, an organizer of the iCU discussion and sophomore in Engineering, opened his discussion with attendees by joking that it would not contain any i-Clicker questions. Bae’s discussion focused on the different facets of Korean pop, or K-pop, and the many reasons why its U.S. popularity has grown in recent years, as the attendees casually sat on brown couches. Bae, who grew up in South Korea and is a member of the Korean Student Association, said he has always had an interest in Korean culture, especially after moving to Washington at the age of 16. Bae said that the growth in
popularity of Korean culture is based upon advances in technology and communication because of the Internet. The shift was apparent in students such as Aiden Rogers, freshman in LAS, who first encountered K-Pop around 2010, when she started listening to bands such as Shinee. Now, Rogers said that she has a particular taste in Korean music. “I go for the ones (bands) with really good vocal talent and unique dances,� she said. Rogers put her knowledge to use when her team took first place in a Jeopardystyle game of K-pop music and trivia. Bae said the diversity at the University opens doors to learn from other people, and events like iCU provide a place to share and learn about other people outside the classroom. The event drew a large crowd, but each student had his or her own motivation for being there.

The senior reset his own school record in the weight throw over the weekend at Nebraska.

Editor’s Note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down each week and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
F
ew members of the Illinois men’s track and field team thought it would be a historic weekend when the team traveled to the Frank Sevigne Husker Invite in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Friday and Saturday. Friday turned out to be an important day for Illinois senior Davis Fraker. Fraker broke his own indoor school record in the weight throw with a toss of 21.80 meters.
“I had some far throws in practice earlier in the week that were actually a little bit farther than what I threw in the meet,� Fraker said. “I was really excited to break through the barrier, something that I have been wanting to do since freshman year.� The Peachtree City, Georgia, native earned third-place honors on the podium in the event, despite breaking the school record. Conor McCullough of USC and Nick Miller of No. 17 Oklahoma State fi nished fi rst and second, respectively. According to head coach Mike Turk, Fraker’s recordbreaking performance was one he believed was bound to happen. “Davis had a great series with five throws over his personal best,� Turk said
Having lost eight of its last nine games, the Illinois women’s basketball team (12-12, 3-9 Big Ten) is hungry to get back into the win column and will try to do so at Indiana (13-10, 3-9) on Wednesday. Similar to Illinois, the win column has become a stranger to Indiana of late. The Hoosiers have dropped eight of their last 10 games, and the two Big Ten foes have combined for a record of 3-15 in their last nine games this season. With two teams fighting to rise out of the bottom of the Big Ten standings, this game could simply come down to who has more intensity. “Every team wants a win,� junior guard Kyley Simmons said. “It’s just going to come down to who wants it more, who’s fighting more and who has more heart.� Indiana is led by its guard play, specifically freshman guard Tyra Buss, who leads the Hoosiers in scoring and is second in assists.

Although Rayvonte Rice and Aaron Cosby are suspended indefi nitely, their absence doesn’t mean they’re off the minds of the Illinois men’s basketball team. The Illini, who have been without Rice and Cosby because of suspension since Jan. 31, have found consistency in their teammates’ absence. But the team is cognizant that Rice and Cosby’s reinsertion into the rotation will make Illinois better. “When everybody gets back, we think we can be really good,� sophomore guard Malcolm Hill said. “We’ve been doing all right without them, so when they get back on the court it’s going to help our team a lot.� Rice and Cosby were initially taken off the active roster due to injury — Rice broke a bone in his left hand before facing Maryland on Jan. 7 and Cosby tore the retina in his left eye against Indiana on Jan. 18. As both players neared the end of their rehab, it looked as if the Illini would
be back at full strength, but Rice and Cosby’s return was postponed. The pair were indefi nitely suspended for violating team rules before Illinois’ game against Penn State on Jan. 31. While Groce has yet to announce which team rule Rice and Cosby broke, he did say Illinois has one simple team rule. “Don’t do anything to embarrass the University of Illinois, the men’s basketball program, yourself or your family,� Groce said after the Penn State game. Neither Cosby nor Rice has had his suspensions lifted yet. But in the absence of the duo, the Illini have found consistency. While Illinois dropped five of its first eight Big Ten games, the team has turned its season around with two of its most productive offensive players on the bench. The Illini are on a three-game winning streak since Cosby and Rice were suspended and have improved their conference record to 6-5. Rice and Cosby’s reinstatement may be a setback for the Illini’s chemistry but
Head coach Matt Bollant said he recruited Buss before she committed to Indiana and has been impressed by her play. “She’s a pretty good player,� Bollant said. “She can shoot and goes to the rim really well and does a lot of good things offensively.� To limit Indiana’s guardorientated offense, Illinois will look to maintain its conference-leading turnover margin by bringing consistent ball pressure. Bollant listed four aspects of the game that he wants the

in a press release. “He has been consistently right under his best for a couple of weeks now. This was a huge breakthrough that has been a long time coming.� As a senior, Fraker’s record-breaking performance is what he believes will help him leave his legacy at Illinois. It’s also something he can look back on when all is said and done. Executing in the weight throw is hard enough as it is. According to the Illini senior, the event requires a lot. Training for an event like this requires a lot of technique and strength, along with a lot of time in the weight room working on explosive and strength movements.

Illinois at Indiana When: Wednesday 6 p.m., Assembly Hall, Bloomington, Indiana Quick notes: The Illini and Hoosiers are a combined 3-15 in their last 18 games. Hidden stat: Illinois is 10-20 all-time at Indiana.
Every prospective opening day starter for the Illinois baseball team started more than half of 2014 at his respective position. The Illini have been practicing for three weeks for this weekend’s season-opening trip to Beaumont, Texas, to face Lamar State and New Mexico State. Here is a positional breakdown of the 2015 Illini.

Illinois has won three straight games without Cosby and Rice. senior center Nnanna Egwu sees it differently. “That’s a good problem to deal with,� Egwu said. “We’d rather have that than have it the other way around, where there’s no chemistry at all. When it does happen, we’ll figure it out.� Hill said that while Rice and Cosby have been practicing well, he sees a bigger on-court problem than a lack of chemistry with their return: conditioning. Groce added that both players are “full-go� in practice, both conditioning and rust will play major factors in Rice and Cosby’s production once they return. “There is a transition period involved with that,� Groce said. “As high a level
as Ray Rice was playing at before he got hurt, it’s not going to be like he’s available today and he’s back to 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from three, 17 (points) and eight (rebounds per game). It just doesn’t work that way in sports.� While their return will mean the reduction of some bench players’ roles, the team is ready for the reinsertion of Rice and Cosby when the Big Ten schedule winds down. “We’re really looking forward, as a group, to when they come back,� Egwu said.

Infielders All five players who started at least one game in the infield last year return for another season with the Illini. Senior David Kerian led the team in doubles and RBIs last season, while starting 51 games at fi rst base. Sophomore Adam Walton will play shortstop. He started the last 37 games at the position on his way to the team’s highest batting average (.329), a secondteam All-Big Ten award and Louisville Slugger freshman All-American honors. The Roper brothers, senior second baseman Reid and sophomore third baseman Ryne, started more than 50 games apiece last season. Reid tied Kerian for the most RBIs on
the team and Ryne joined Walton on the All-Big Ten freshman team. Ryne said the chemistry between last year’s starters is key to the unit’s success. “Playing with Reid’s a blast,� Ryne said. “We know where each other’s going to be, not just me and Reid, but all four of us.� Senior Michael Hurwitz spent most of last season as the designated hitter, but was the opening day starter at second base and can also play third.
Outfielders The outfi eld provided both power and speed on offense for Illinois last season. The group includes the team’s leading home run hitter, senior Casey Fletcher, and the team’s leading base stealer, senior Will Krug. Fletcher (six home runs) starts in right fi eld and Krug (20 stolen bases) in center. Both hit over .300 last season. Krug started every game in the leadoff spot last year and led the team in runs. Both were honored with spots on the All-Big Ten second team. Ryan Nagle patrols left field for the Illini and the junior tied for second on the team in runs scored last year. He and Krug committed only one error each last season.

Ohio State adds another QB into mix DAN ESCALONA Sports columnist
A
ttention Big Ten: At this point, it might be a good idea to close your eyes and turn away, especially if you are not Ohio State. It probably should not be a shock to anyone who follows Big Ten football, but Ohio State has added a potential star under center to an already extremely talented trio of quarterbacks. With a national championship just a month in the rearview mirror, head coach Urban Meyer has stepped even harder on the gas pedal. Last week, the Buckeyes signed highly rated quarterback recruit Torrance Gibson, from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Though technically recruited as an “athlete,” Gibson will most likely ply his craft at quarterback. Gibson is the ideal dual-
threat quarterback. As a fivestar prospect, he boasts all the physical tools needed to excel as an elite player at a top program. The first thing that stands out about Gibson is his size — he stands at 6-foot-4 and 204 pounds. He has potent arm strength — evidenced by his 44 career touchdown passes in high school. But perhaps the most exciting aspect of his game is his running ability. He possesses game-breaking speed combined with an elusiveness that should be enough to make him a matchup nightmare for any defense in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes have probably the best dilemma that any team in the country could ask for: Four of their quarterbacks, including the three who have had past success, could start for any other program in the country, but instead have chosen to stay in Columbus. Braxton Miller, J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones have all proved themselves under center in one way or another, and each can stake a legitimate
claim to the starting job. Miller put up Heismanlike numbers for Ohio State in 2013, leading it to a berth in the Sugar Bowl. Miller was injured prior to 2014, and Barrett would go on to right the ship, leading the Buckeyes to a 12-1 regular season record. When Barrett broke his leg in the final regular season game, it seemed as if a promising season would be lost. But the third-string quarterback, Jones, took over and beat the top two teams in the nation and all three Heisman Trophy finalists in three consecutive starts to win the national championship. At this point it looks like there will be quite a quarterback battle in 2015, though that may change as recent reports have indicated Braxton Miller is considering transferring to either Oregon or Florida State. Even with that development, Ohio State would still be left with three skilled quarterbacks — two of whom have past success. As exciting as signing Gib-
son is, conventional wisdom says starting a true freshman would be a mistake. It would be wise for the Ohio State coaching staff to declare an open quarterback competition, and decide the starter based on success in training camp, as opposed to past accomplishments. As much as choosing between four quarterbacks is tough, it reveals just how strong Meyer has reconstructed a program that a few years back was mired in controversy and mediocrity. Ohio State is the class of the Big Ten, and the starting quarterback dilemma further proves this point. Ohio State might have a problem on its hands, but that problem is more of a problem for the rest of the Big Ten and the nation than it is for the Scarlet and Gray.

Freshmen lead the way for Illini hockey team BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
Illinois hockey head coach Nick Fabbrini turned to freshmen Eric Cruickshank and James Mcging to secure the victory in a shootout against Lindenwood on Friday night. The wingmen had earned Fabbrini’s trust this season with their play and they didn’t let him down. It was Illinois’ third consecutive win, all against higher-ranked opponents, since team captain John Olen went on leave from the team to play at the World University Games in Granada, Spain. Despite losing the following night, Cruickshank and Mcging have overtaken Olen as the Illini’s first and second leading points scorers with 30 and 29 points, respectively. While both players are impressed with the team’s recent success, neither was willing to pay too much attention to the stats. “In the past, whenever I start looking at the stats, I begin thinking, ‘Oh, I have

BASEBALL Sophomore Pat McInerney saw some time in the outfield last season when Nagle went down with illness and chipped in with a pair of doubles and one home run.
Catchers Junior Jason Goldstein started 89 games behind the dish in his first two years at Illinois and is the prospective starter again this season. He finished second on the team in batting average (.316) and doubles, and third in home runs (four) and RBIs (28). He was selected to the AllBig Ten second-team and has been tabbed by some to earn first-team honors this season. Goldstein’s backup is senior Kelly Norris-Jones, who started 45 games as a freshman but has suffered injuries in the last two seasons that have lim-
to get this many to get first on the team,’” Mcging said. “If I focus on the stats, I start thinking about the game as just getting points instead of winning.” For both Mcging and Cruickshank, Illinois wasn’t their first choice of school. After high school, they decided to play on a junior hockey team for two years with the hope of getting noticed by a Division I team. “Juniors wore me down a little bit,” said Cruickshank, who is from Vernon Hills, Illinois. “I then realized that Division I wasn’t going to be an option, so I decided that coming to Illinois was the best option from there.” Their decisions paid off almost immediately — the two were among the leaders in points even before Olen left. However, the majority of their points were coming off assists, which were typically turned into goals by Olen. It became evident to both players that they would need to take on a larger scoring role in the absence of the
team captain. In the last two series, Cruickshank and Mcging have recorded seven and four of points, respectively. “A lot of times, I’ll pass up a lot of opportunities because I know that the puck is in better hands if I give it to John,” said Mcging, originally from Chicago. “For at least these past few games, I felt like I have had to take a lot more chances for the team because we were missing a huge scoring factor.” Fabbrini pointed out the particular skill set the two players have that makes them capable of putting points on the scoreboard. He described Mcging as playmaker, who is capable of creating a shot for both himself and his teammates. While he credited Cruickshank with a similar talent, Fabbrini said Cruickshank stands out as having one of the hardest shots on the team. Both of their talents were on display in the shootout Friday against Lindenwood. Cruickshank tied the score for the Illini with a slapshot
into the back of the net. The tying score set up Mcging to seal the victory and he took advantage of the opportunity. With a risky backhanded shot, Mcging hit the top-shelf of the net and gave the Illini the first victory of the series. As the team celebrated after the game, Fabbrini joked that maybe it was better off without Olen. His hope, however, is that the two freshmen’s recent scoring surge will compliment Olen’s skill set even more as the team aims to compete for an ACHA championship in March. “We have a good senior class that has shown guys what it takes to be competitive in our league, night-in and night-out,” Fabbrini said. “When we have the upperclassmen and lowerclassmen working together in that regard, we create a powerful team that people have been seeing lately.”

ors. Kravetz’s 19 career wins are ninth on the school’s all-time list. Despite missing six weeks with forearm tightness, junior Kevin Duchene still managed to win four games last season and post the team’s lowest ERA (1.80). Duchene also had the second-lowest opponent batting average on the team (.215), after closer and preseason All-American Tyler Jay (.190). Jay recorded 10 saves and four wins as a junior last season, finishing with 47 strikeouts in just 41 2/3 innings of work. Jay spent the summer playing for the USA Baseball collegiate team and was named to the preseason Golden Spikes Award watch list Tuesday. The Golden Spikes award is given to the top amateur player in the country. Senior Rob McDonnell picked up some quality innings last season and looks to be the team’s fourth
starter — he won four of his five starts in 2014. Overall, the pitching staff was full of confidence for a season they feel is theirs for the taking. “We’ve got very few holes,” Jay said. “We have dudes that can throw.”
Pitchers While the Illini return virtually every member of their starting lineup last season, it may be the pitching staff that is the team’s strongest unit. At the start of spring practice, head coach Dan Hartleb called this the deepest staff he’s ever had. Last season’s pitching staff broke the team ERA record, posting a 3.25 mark last season. Senior Drasen Johnson was the staff’s workhorse, throwing 96 innings and totaling 79 strikeouts. His five wins were second on the team.

Junior outfielder Kylie Johnson does a lot for the Illinois softball team in terms of offensive production. She was named one of the team’s three captains and earned preseason AllBig Ten honors. Coming off a season that landed her a spot on the All-Big Ten second team, Johnson and head coach Terri Sullivan know the junior is a key contributor on the diamond. But it is off the field where Johnson holds herself to even higher standards. “I take the same attitude that I have on the field into the classroom,” Johnson said. “I’ve always been competitive and kind of hard on myself when it comes to academics.” In 2012, Johnson graduated from Kankakee High School in Kankakee, Illinois, ranking second in her class of 383 students. As a kinesiology major, Johnson was named a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar in 2014 — an award given to those who have earned a gradepoint average of 3.7 or higher for the previous school year.

Simmons seems to be up to the challenge of guarding some of Indiana’s best wing players. “We can get out and pressure people, intimidate them and make them turn the ball over,” Simmons said. “The more we can do that, that’s just going to help our offense that much more.” Indiana has just two players over 6-feet tall who average more than 20 minutes per game, so Illinois will try to start off with looks to sophomore forward Jacqui Grant and freshman center Chatrice White in the paint.

If that does not pan out, she plans to coach at whatever competitive level is presented. “Kylie’s a great leader on and off the field,” Sullivan said. “At the field, there are not many that work harder than her. Away from the field, she does things right, too. You couldn’t ask for a better athlete and person to be a part of our team.” “Any time she fails, she comes back stronger than before,” Sullivan said. “That’s part of being as successful of an athlete as she is.” Johnson’s teammates look to their captain as an example of how to approach the game on the field and how to balance the important aspects of being a studentathlete off the field. “She’s a huge role player on our team,” junior second baseman Allie Bauch said. “She gets it done every time, whether the pressure is on or not.

He went on to say that there is always a partnership between coach and athlete, which is shown through how hard the athlete works for the coach. For Fraker, the hard work is paying off and history is being made in the process. “They can do things that other people can’t do,” Turk said of athletes like Fraker. “You can learn a lot from them.

Honoring UNC’s Smith ELI SCHWADRON Sports columnist
T
he college basketball world lost a legend on Saturday when former North Carolina head coach Dean Smith passed away at the age of 83. Smith led the Tar Heels to two national titles and 11 Final Fours during his 36-year tenure at UNC, and perhaps more importantly, he was a tremendous person off the court. For non-basketball fans, maybe this will help put Smith’s influence into perspective: He coached and mentored Michael Jordan before Jordan became the global icon he is today. Twelve years after retiring, Jordan is still arguably the most recognizable sports name on the planet. The Illinois student body — made up of primarily Bulls fans — is hyperaware of MJ’s impact. Although current college seniors were only 5 years old at
the time of Jordan’s sixth and final championship, his legacy has been embedded into Chicago fans’ livelihoods since birth. As a Washington D.C. native and Wizards fan, I can still say with utter confidence that I’ve never seen a better player than mid-90s Michael (you’re not quite there yet, LeBron). After Smith’s death, Jordan released a touching statement in which he said, “(Smith) was more than a coach — he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father.�
B1G Bubble Watch We’re a month out from Selection Sunday, and currently, the No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers are the only Big Ten team locked in the NCAA tournament. Barring a monumental collapse, No. 19 Maryland should make the field. The Terrapins have been shaky of late — they’ve lost three of their last five games in blowout fashion to Indiana, Ohio State and Iowa. Melo Trimble, Jake Lay-
man and Co. need to get back to what made them such a tough matchup in December and January: their ability to get to the free throw line. Meanwhile, there is optimism surrounding Illinois’ tournament chances for the first time since nonconference play. The Illini have rattled off three straight Big Ten wins — most recently a 59-54 victory against Michigan State in East Lansing, Michigan, on Saturday. Sophomore Malcolm Hill has stepped up to average 19.4 points per game over his last five outings. He’s averaging 14.8 on the season, and everything indicates he’ll be a bona fide star for the Illini for the remainder of his collegiate career. Hill’s play has been especially huge in the absence of leading scorer Rayvonte Rice, who remains suspended alongside guard Aaron Cosby.

I think the smart thing to do is to continue to use this All-Star break, strengthen myself a little more and be ready for the second-half push. I think I owe it to the Heat fans to at least play in a Heat jersey first.� Even though he traveled with the team to Cleveland Tuesday, he will not play against the Cavaliers Wednesday. It marks the seventh straight game Wade will miss due to the sore hamstring.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — LeBron James felt no need to clarify any remarks or tweets he has made in recent days and Kevin Love insisted on Tuesday there was no problem between the two stars. “I was caught off-guard when I heard about it,� Love said. “We’re teammates, we see each other, there’s no problem with us.�
James tweeted people shouldn’t worry so much about “fitting out� and instead try to “fit in� and be part of something special. It was similar to a comment Love made in October when his teammates encouraged him to “fit out� and be himself rather than trying to fit in. James told reporters after Sunday’s game “it’s not a coincidence, man.� James took to Twitter on Monday and blamed the media for making a story that didn’t exist.

As his murder trial continues, Aaron Hernandez’s fiancee was granted immunity to not incriminate herself during the trial.
Hernandez’s fiancee granted immunity in ongoing murder trial
ED SUBA JR. TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
After LeBron James tweeted for teammates to “fit in,� many thought he was referring to newcomer Kevin Love.
The fiancee of Aaron Hernandez has been granted immunity to testify against the former New England Patriot at his murder trial. A judge signed the immunity order Tuesday, ensuring that when Shayanna Jenkins is called to the witness stand she will not be able to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Authorities say that the
day after Odin Lloyd’s June 2013 slaying, Jenkins — acting at Hernandez’s behest — removed the murder weapon from the home she and her fiancee shared in North Attleboro, Mass. Prosecutors filed a petition for immunity to compel her to testify. She has attended several days of the trial, and sat directly behind Hernandez — talking and giggling with him during breaks, taking notes during testimony, and chatting with his defense lawyers when court is not in session.
