UI combats strike with Extra Help SEIU pickets Illini Union, dining halls

University Housing have called in Extra Help workers through Wednesday while members of the Service Employees International Union Local 73 are on strike. University spokeswoman Robin Kaler said student workers, employees in other positions and volunteers from other units on campus are helping fill the void. “Today has gone very smoothly, and we’re confident that Tuesday and Wednesday will as well,” Kaler said Monday. Union members — about 800 of the University’s food and building service workers — picketed around campus Monday outside Ikenberry Dining Hall, Illini Union and other locations. The workers were joined by students on the picket lines. Adam Rosen, SEIU communications director, called Monday’s pickets successful. Rosen said that student support was overwhelming, offering the examples of students who gave out hot chocolate to members on strike. Jack Dempsey, executive director of Facilities & Services, sent a mass email Monday to students advising of possible service reductions. “The campus community will experience a disruption/delay to regular building services and to campus mail pick up and delivery,” Dempsey wrote. The email said the locking and unlocking of facilities, restroom and classroom stocking and cleaning, and trash removal in classrooms will continue. Dempsey also said some offices will not receive

Students were updated on the status of construction on the Electrical and Computer Engineering building at an open meeting Monday. Professor Philip Krein, chair of the new building committee, told students at the meeting that the building, located on Wright Street next to the Beckman Institute, is on track for completion by July 10, 2014. Classes will begin in the new building in fall 2014. The new building, which hasn’t been named yet, is significantly larger than the department’s current building, Everitt Laboratory, and will be fully equipped with updated technology. It will contain office spaces, students lounges, classrooms and labs. “Basically every significant lab in the new building will be as big as the biggest lab in Everitt building,” Krein said. It will also be the largest zero net energy building in the nation, he said. The new building will be mainly run by solar energy from solar panels. Although the building will still have to rely on the University’s electrical system, the average energy usage should be close to self-sufficient. It will also have better insulation and a more energy-saving beam cooling-heating system. Krein provided reasons for using solar energy in the new building, although new technologies are

Government employees are being paid less than workers in the private sector despite their higher education levels, a study published by the University’s School of Labor and Employment Relations shows. The study was published Monday and compared earnings, benefits and other impacts while controlling for factors like education and demographics. Findings showed that public sector employees had total incomes 13.5 percent lower than those of workers in the private sector. Yet the study also found that government workers with bachelor’s degrees and higher earn 32 to 40 percent less in wage and salary income than private sector workers with bachelor’s degrees. Robert Bruno, lead researcher and director of the school’s Labor Education Program, said he was trying to determine whether assumptions that state workers are overpaid were true. “In this report, we really wanted to address a problematic feature of the public discourse about the cost of public sector workers and about state and municipal budgets,” said Frank Manzo, research associate. Manzo said they conducted the study in response to negotiations that had been going on in January between the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME, Council 31 and the state.

State budget cuts proposed by Gov. Pat Quinn in his budget address last week could have the largest impact on faculty salaries and benefits, University officials said. Randy Kangas, associate vice president of the Office for Planning and Budgeting, said under Quinn’s proposal, which the Senate will review March 21, about $15 million would be cut from the approximately $238.3 million the state provides the Urbana campus. He said the funding currently generated by the University is $1.965 billion through tuition and student fees. “This would lift the total amount of the reduction since about 2002 to about $214 million in direct appropriation,” he said. “With that said, the state provides us pensions and benefits through another agency, and that certainly helps the University a lot.” Kangas was referring to the State Universities Retirement System, which funds pensions for University faculty, who have a “constitutional guarantee to that payment.”

35,000 state employees, and Quinn administration negotiators reached a tentative agreement on Feb. 28. Scott Adams, director of Research and Employee Benefits at AFSCME , said government employees choose to work in the public sector for job security and the sake of the public’s well-being. “There’s a perception out there that peo-

If the pension system runs out of funds, Kangas said pensions would only become more expensive for the state because they would likely have to adopt a “pay as you go” system, which would be more expensive than the current system. He said he agreed with Quinn’s statements in the budget address about how the pension system must be fixed before the state’s fiscal situation can improve. “The state clearly has a budget or revenue problem,” Kangas said. “Today the state has about $9 billion in unpaid vouchers. One major part of the budget is benefits and pensions; certainly the state is in a very critical period.” Quinn called for reform of the pension system’s $96.8 billion total unfunded liabilities during that budget address March 6. “Our budget is being squeezed more than ever. And that will continue until we put a stop to it,” Quinn said. In fi scal years 2010 and 2011, the state had to borrow

Conclave to begin voting without clear front-runner BY NICOLE WINFIELD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY — Cardinals enter the Sistine Chapel on Tuesday to elect the next pope amid more upheaval and uncertainty than the Catholic Church has seen in decades: There’s no front-runner, no indication how long voting will last and no sense that a single man has what it takes to fix the many problems. On the eve of the vote, cardinals offered wildly different assessments of what they’re looking for in the next pontiff and how close they are to a decision. It was evidence that Benedict XVI’s surprise resignation has continued to destabilize the church leadership and that his fi nal appeal for unity may go unheeded, at least in the early rounds of voting. Cardinals held their fi nal closed-door debate Monday over whether the church needs more of a manager to clean up the Vatican’s bureaucratic mess or a pastor to inspire the 1.2 billion faithful in times of crisis. The fact that not everyone got a chance to speak was a clear sign that there’s still unfinished business on the eve of the conclave. “This time around, there are many different candidates, so it’s normal that it’s going to take longer than the last time,” Cardinal Francisco Javier Errazuriz of Chile told The Associated Press.
“There are no groups, no compromises, no alliances, just each one with his conscience voting for the person he thinks is best, which is why I don’t think it will be over quickly.” None of that has prevented a storm of chatter over who’s ahead. The buzz in the papal stakes swirled around Cardinal Angelo Scola, an Italian seen as favored by cardinals hoping to shake up the powerful Vatican bureaucracy, and Brazilian Cardinal Odilo Scherer, a favorite of Vatican-based insiders intent on preserving the status quo. Scola is affable and Italian but not from the Italian-centric Vatican bureaucracy called the Curia.

New York ban on sweet drinks overruled Ruling applied to selective stores BY JENNIFER PELTZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A judge struck down New York City’s pioneering ban on big sugary drinks Monday just hours before it was supposed to take effect, handing a defeat to health-minded Mayor Michael Bloomberg and creating confusion for restaurants that had already ordered smaller cups and changed their menus. State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling said the 16-ounce limit on sodas and other sweet drinks arbitrarily applies to only some sugary beverages and some places that sell them. “The loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the stated purpose of this rule,” Tingling wrote in a victory for the beverage industry, restaurants and other business groups that called the rule unfair and wrong-headed. In addition, the judge said the Bloomberg-appointed Board of Health intruded on City Council’s authority when it imposed the rule. The city vowed to appeal the decision, issued by New York state’s trial-level court. “We believe the judge is totally in error in how he interpreted the law, and we are confident we will win on appeal,” Bloomberg said. He added: “One of the cases we will make is that people are dying every day. This is not a joke. Five thousand people die

of obesity every day in America.” For now, though, the ruling it means the ax won’t fall Tuesday on supersized sodas, sweetened teas and other high-sugar beverages in restaurants, movie theaters, corner delis and sports arenas. “The court ruling provides a sigh of relief to New Yorkers and thousands of small businesses in New York City that would have been harmed by this arbitrary and unpopular ban,” the American Beverage Association and other opponents said, adding that the organization is open to other “solutions that will have a meaningful and lasting impact.” The fi rst of its kind in the country, the restriction has sparked reaction from city streets to late-night talk shows, celebrated by some as a bold attempt to improve people’s health and derided by others as another “nanny state” law from Bloomberg during his 11 years in office. On his watch, the city has compelled chain restaurants to post calorie counts, barred artificial trans fats in restaurant food and prodded food manufacturers to use less salt. The city has successfully defended some of those initiatives in court. Because of the limits of city authority and exemptions made for other reasons, the ban on supersized beverages doesn’t cover alcoholic drinks or many lattes and other milk-based concoctions, and it doesn’t apply at supermarkets or many convenience stores — including

The rule, if upheld, would create an “administrative leviathan,” warned Tingling, who was elected to the Supreme Court bench in 2001 as a Democrat. In defending the rule, city officials point to the city’s rising obesity rate — about 24 percent of adults, up from 18 percent in 2002 — and to studies tying
sugary drinks to weight gain. Care for obesity-related illnesses costs government health programs about $2.8 billion a year in New York City alone, according to city Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley. Critics said the measure is too limited to have a meaningful effect on New Yorkers’ waistlines.

As far as location, Krein said the building’s distance from the Quad should not be a problem for students.

As discussions regarding a shared governance survey continued at Monday’s Senate Executive Committee meeting, members showed support for implementing such a survey in the near future. The committee unanimously voted in favor of formally supporting the Survey on Shared Governance, a web-based poll for faculty members regarding the state of

The union’s Facebook page was updated Monday afternoon to include a post in response to University-circulated emails. “The University is also portraying that they have put forth a fair proposal for both building service and food service members,” the post read. “However, this message fails to include information on how the university has not taken into consideration in several previous years they have failed to keep up wage increases that maintain the
shared governance at the department and college levels. Although the SEC will be an official sponsor of the survey, the Senate’s General University Policy Committee will administer the survey and issue a report of its results to the SEC. Nicholas Burbules, chair of the Senate’s General University Policy Committee, introduced the idea for the survey at the SEC meeting in February. He said the need for the survey emerged because the senate had not conducted such a survey before; therefore, reports on the state of shared governance at the unit level are not on record.
The survey would be anonymous and would not require faculty to identify their department or college. If the committee finds any major issues or general trends upon reviewing the results, members will choose an appropriate follow-up, Burbules said. He said once the survey is active, he hopes all members of the Urbana-Champaign Senate will encourage faculty members in their departments to participate.

It notes the positive gains from these jobs, such as the number of lives saved by fi refighters or the numbers of students educated by teachers, which cannot be quantified but are necessary to the state. “Now, we’re not saying it’s better than having a less-thanvibrant private sector, but state workers certainly are not the drag on the state economy that they’ve been made out to be,” Bruno said. “In fact, they are a relative bargain for Illinois taxpayers.”

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Federal authorities announced Monday that Illinois has agreed to settle a securities-fraud charge that accused the state of misleading investors about the fi nancial health of its public-employee pension systems, which are now $96.7 billion short of what’s needed to cover promised retirement benefits. In a cease-and-desist order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commissions, Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration admitted no wrongdoing in the way state officials borrowed money to pay pension obligations through $2.2 billion in municipal bond sales from 2005 to early 2009. The SEC began its investigation in September 2010, shortly after signing an agreement with New Jersey over similar pension disclosures. Quinn’s assistant budget director, Abdon Pallasch, said the governor began making changes before the investigation started and that the SEC agreed his office cooperated fully in its review. Quinn, a Democrat, took office in January 2009. The charge revolves around how well Illinois officials publicized their handling of seriously underfunded public-employee pension accounts. Quinn and the Legislature say they have made fi nding a solution this spring their priority. The SEC alleged that the state made misleading statements about how much pension reforms would save or that it omitted statements about the full impact of underfunding problems.
“The state failed to disclose the effect of its unfunded pension systems on the state’s ability to manage other (spending) obligations,” the SEC order said. “The state also did not inform investors that rising pension costs could continue to affect its ability to satisfy its commitments in the future.” The SEC reported that Illinois has taken several steps to improve the situation, including using attorneys devoted to disclosure, expanding exposition in the pension section of bond-sale documents, and establishing formal disclosure procedures, including review of proposed explanations by the five pension agencies that administer the retirement programs. “The (SEC) order acknowledged the proactive steps taken by the state to enhance its pension disclosures and related processes since 2009,” Pallasch said in a statement. “The state began these enhancements prior to being contacted by the SEC.” The order did note there were warnings issued after Quinn took office — including by his budget authorities — that the SEC said should have been included in bond documents, but the order doesn’t identify any bond sales that might have been affected or criticize any Quinn administration sales. The order summarizes a sordid history of state pension underfunding dating to 1981, noting that by 1994, a $20 billion deficit in the retirement accounts nudged a Republican governor and lawmakers to adopt a plan to bring the pension pots to within 90 percent of full funding within 50 years.
“We spent a great year of time talking about traffic pattern and access,” Krein said. “We were designing for the entrance on the southwest corner to be a very high-traffic entrance, much wider, much higher access than any of the doors in Everitt.” The Everitt building will be used for the Bioengineering Department and other special programs through the college once the new building is finished, said Andreas Cangellaris, Electrical and Computer Engineering department head. A recent $100 million gift from The Grainger Foundation allocated $40 million for Everitt’s renovation “to meet the needs for state-of-the-art facilities for engineering instructional
laboratories, new engineering research centers, and the Department of Bioengineering at Illinois,” according to a Jan. 28 press release. Krein said the Fabrication Lab, a laboratory for digital design, will also be featured in the new building. The lab in Everitt, which was one of the first in the nation, will continue to operate. Paprapee Buason, freshman in engineering, said he’s looking forward to using the new building. “It’s great that it’s going to be done before I graduate,” Buason said. “The Everitt building is kind of old, so the new building will be something interesting.”
BUDGET
vote on this matter — the problem gets worse. It is costing taxpayers an additional $17 million a day. Illinois taxpayers are losing patience with your lack of action.” And until a budget proposal is voted on, the effects of potential cuts are unknown and predictions are hard to make. “I think it’s too early to tell what the impact will be until we get a little further down the road,” Kangas said. “Certainly the Illinois House and Illinois Senate are going to weigh in on their thoughts on the appropriation process and what the number is.”

According to the Institute of Government and Public Affairs’ Illinois Report 2013 , at this rate, including pension obligation bonds, state tax revenue will fund one-fourth of pension costs. Quinn, in his address, said he is trying to avoid putting an extra burden on taxpayers. “I know this issue requires a hard vote,” he said. “But you know that every day you wait to

AS A GIRL
THINKS By Melanie Stone (part 2 of 5)

stood in the drizzling rain, heart beating out of my chest as the girls counted down. Three, two, one ... It was Bid Day 2011, just a few weeks into September of my freshman year. The Quad was packed with sorority hopefuls, tearing open envelopes revealing the direction of our college experiences: whom our friends would be, where we would someday live, what our lives would be like. My dream sorority wanted me. I was soaring. Blinded by the allure of Greek life, I reveled in it all — drinking was not new to me; high school taught me well in that arena. But the bar scene, the frat boys, the quarter-zip sweatshirts — I had a new identity as a sorority girl. As the weeks went by, I started to feel like my life had somehow evolved into a non-stop competition. Who had the most guy friends in frats? Whose Facebook profi le picture got the most likes? Who was the loudest, the funniest, the prettiest? More than anything, I wanted to rise to the top. Be known, be popular, be someone, be anyone.
At fi rst, I thought it was just drunk-eating. I would come back to my room after an exchange or a random night out and quickly fi ll myself to the brim with animal crackers and pretzels. “I need to eat this, it’ll soak up the alcohol ,” I would think to myself. As the semester progressed, my drunken food binges got worse and worse. I would stuff my mouth with snacks, sometimes my own, sometimes my roommate’s personal stash. I remember waking up to a text from her, politely asking me to replace her cereal and ice cream because apparently I had eaten it all the night before. My face burned as I dragged myself to the store, partly from the hangover, mostly from the deep shame. My morning-after punishment was always the same: lie in bed for hours, eat nothing, peel myself up and spend the afternoon at the gym. At dinnertime, I would consume one meal: a salad from the Ikenberry Dining Hall, no dressing. There were also days when I wouldn’t swallow my food. It takes a long time for me to break a habit, especially something as addictive as chewing and spitting, which I discovered in high school. At school, my methodical sessions always began with a trip to County Market, where I would load up on cookie dough, frosting, brownies and any other goodies my taste buds demanded. Sometimes I craved peanut butter bars from Espresso Royale. I’d buy all of them, plus any muffi ns that tempted me. Once, I even ordered a birthday cookie cake from a bakery on campus. “Whose birthday is it?” the girl behind the counter asked as she swirled sugary-pink cursive onto the giant cookie. “One of my sorority sisters is turning 19,” I lied. “And she requested extra icing.” The cost of the chewables never mattered to me — I heedlessly swiped my debit card over and over, plowing through hundreds of dollars. I often wondered what might happen if my roommate ever walked in on me while I was chewing and spitting. What would I say? How would I explain the sea of red Solo cups fi lled with half-chewed food? She never did, and so my habit was allowed to continue for the duration of my freshman year.
I had found my sorority, but there was one thing left to do: Find a church. When my best friend, Courtney Cimo, and I got to campus and discovered Illini Life Christian Fellowship, we knew it was a fi t. The people were sincere and the ministry was completely focused on proclaiming Christ. We belonged. But I held back, hungry for Christian community while still worrying about what my sorority sisters might think of me if my spiritual self were revealed.
With those girls, my faith took the backburner. Much of the sorority revolved around the party scene; whenever I was at the house, the older girls always seemed to be swapping outrageous stories about what had happened at KAM’S the night before. I ended up with quite a few of my own tales to tell, from drunken hookups on dance fl oors to passing out cold in the bathroom at Subway. My search for acceptance, from my sorority sisters and from boys, consumed the majority of the fall. By spring 2012, I was done drinking. I wanted to start glorifying God with my actions — taking shots of Smirnoff in lowly frat basements wasn’t bringing me any closer to Him. Plus, I couldn’t stomach the drunken food escapades anymore. I pulled back, slowly distancing myself from my sorority sisters. I would sit in my room, door closed, looking at the girls’ pictures on Facebook from the night before and wishing I had at least been invited. The deep pangs of jealousy hurt. What hurt most of all was that the food binges didn’t disappear. Every two weeks or so, I would gorge myself, then fall into the familiar cycle: self-loathing, excessive exercise, restrictive eating. I had no idea that I was perpetually starving my body of the calories it needed. In January 2012, I began training for the Christie Clinic Half Marathon, which meant more running. The exercise left my body weary and depleted as I dragged it through the weeks. I was losing weight, I could see it, I could feel it, all because I did not refuel properly; I continued to shun sweets and red meat and dairy and anything else that I deemed “unhealthy.” During that second semester of my freshman year, my diet consisted of mostly vegetables and oatmeal. I never indulged — the only time I ever allowed myself sugar was during my extreme binges and chew-and-spit sessions.
It was 2 a.m. on Valentine’s night when I called my mom, hysterically sobbing on the fl oor of my dorm room. “I can’t stop eating. Mom. Mom. I don’t know what to do.” I went home the next day, blowing off my classes and escaping the site of the big binge. That evening, I sat at the dinner table with my parents and told them all about the anxiety I felt whenever I was at my sorority house, my homesickness and my food issues. My dad grabbed a thin paperback book from the shelf behind him, “The Saving Life of Christ” by Major W. Ian Thomas, and began to read. “You will have become totally dependent upon the life of Christ within you, and never before will you have been so independent, so emancipated from the pressure of your circumstances, so released at last from that selfdistrust which has made you at one moment an arrogant, loud-mouthed braggart, and the next moment the victim of your own self-pity — and, either way, always in bondage to the fear of other men’s opinions.” The three of us talked for hours that night, uncovering what it means to fully depend on Jesus. I had always known that He was with me, but what I learned was that He was living His life in and through me. The same Spirit that raised Him from the dead has also raised me to new life in Christ. This is where I fi nd freedom. Choosing to walk in the Spirit, then, means depending on God rather than myself. It means allowing Jesus to lead me rather than my human desires. That February night, I fi nally understood what it meant to be alive in Christ. And for a while, the binges stopped.
There was a stretch, from March to April, when I felt better. I went on a mission trip with Illini Life to New York City, which turned out to be the highlight of my freshman year. Then came Easter, then Moms Weekend, and then I completed my fi rst half marathon.

Someone once told me that prisoners at Auschwitz received 1,300 calories per day. Not only was the concentration camp intake identical to mine, but it’s also the same as many popular diets today. On its official website, the Weight Watchers Research Department calls starvation mode a myth. When my clinical psychologist Daniel Goodman explained to me the amount of calories I really needed during one of our sessions, I was shocked. “Two thousand is too much,� I shook my head. “Way too much.� “Mel, for your activity level and height, you need 2,000 at the very least,� he assured me. “Anything less than, say, 1,800 could be considered starving yourself.� Starvation, according to Goodman, occurs when a person has been taking in an inadequate amount of calories for what a body needs. It happens gradually, and, over time, the lack of nutrition has physical
the chance to say goodbye to friends. The shame was like a rock in my gut. June arrived and I was happily reunited with my friends and
family, while balancing two internships in downtown Chicago. My body continued its slow shrinking process — I ran and did hot yoga every day. There was one day in July when I stepped on the scale and it read 116 pounds. “Oh, my God, yes,� I breathed, shocked by the number. Food controlled me. I’d wake up in the morning and lay in bed, planning out what I would eat for the day. I refused to eat things that
and mental effects. The latter ones can take weeks to remedy. Amy Bodenheimer, sophomore at the University, suffered these devastating effects when she whittled her daily intake down to 500 calories of Healthy Life Bread, lean turkey and vegetables during her junior year of high school. On top of that, she spent three to four hours at the gym every single evening. Amy’s body couldn’t handle this lifestyle, and so it compensated the only way it could: a weekly binge. “I’d eat and eat and eat, and my weight would shoot up eight pounds,� she said. “The binges destroyed me.� Afterward, Amy always went back to her restrictive diet. Her obsession seeped into every area of her life, deeply affecting her relationships. If her family went out for dinner, Amy would sit, arms crossed, watching everyone else eat. And if her friends went out for ice cream after football games, Amy chose to go home instead. If it had to

didn’t list nutritional information, which complicated family dinners and restaurant meals. I remember going out to eat on a warm night in August with my parents. When the waiter brought my veggie pizza to the table, I picked off all of the mushrooms and peppers, then refused to eat the rest. “Aren’t you hungry?� my mom asked. I was. I was so, so hungry. My stomach was hollow, screaming for sustenance, and my head felt like it was about to split open. “No.� We went home that evening and I ate a bowl of plain oatmeal instead. Most days, I micromanaged my calorie intake, making it a game of sorts: My total for the day typically amounted to 1,300 calories.
do with food, she didn’t want to be there. Another college sophomore, Amber Beserra from Case Western Reserve University, went through a similar experience. She would go three or four days without eating, until suddenly, there was a binge. Amber’s cycle was the same as Amy’s: get upset, hate herself, then go back to starvation mode for a few days. “I just wanted control. Eating was the only thing I could control.� There is a strange thrill that comes along with counting calories. It’s a competition with yourself, and when you win, you feel like the most powerful girl in the world. But during a binge, you suffer a complete and utter loss of control. You fail, affirming the belief that you are, in fact, never going to be good enough.

I was so close to the end of the school year, so very close, before I fell back into a terrifying downward spiral. The binge was a nightmare. In the hours that followed, my parents talked to me on the phone as I lay in bed, steaming with anger and screaming into my pillow. “Melly, Melly, calm down,� my mom said. She was crying, too. “Please. I want you to call someone from Illini Life. Have someone come help you. Melly, please.� I didn’t call anyone; my dad drove two hours from Hinsdale, Ill., to Champaign, picked me up and took me home. It was a Sunday, just five days before the last day of the semester. I missed all my final exams and missed

this DIY basis (and) I was very infatuated with that idea,� Shults said. “The excitement that surrounds Error Records is still very exciting for me and still very inspirational.� With the Error Records location, Landolt aims to spread that inspiration to encompass arts that are as diverse as possible. While selling the work of local musicians, he also hopes to display the work of local artists throughout the store to fuse connections within the Champaign-Urbana art community. But much of that is still in the works. For now, Landolt is looking to apply his experiences playing in bands, touring the country and self-releasing music toward something that will strengthen the community and bring attention to what Champaign-Urbana has to offer. “I think once you make those connections and have those experiences, you have a different outlook on life,� he said. “For me, it’s not getting a job in an office, making a lot of money. ...

“I really want to open that door up for anyone that can’t come play at a bar (or) isn’t old enough to come see a band play at a bar,� he said. “There are a lot of great musicians that, if given the opportunity, can do a lot of great things.� Landolt hopes to provide a safe, alcohol-free environment for show attendees as well. Some of the party elements displayed at house shows may discourage people from participating at any age, Landolt said, and he thinks people shouldn’t have to be exposed to that if they don’t want to or aren’t ready. For now, Landolt’s plans for Error involve just getting the venue and store running. While juggling his start-up efforts with a full-time job, he still has inspections and permits to obtain before the location is ready for business. He hopes to open the store by the end of March and the venue sometime in April. Throughout February, Error Records ran a fundraising campaign through Indiegogo, an international crowd funding website.
Giveaway incentives were set for different donation values, including personalized thank you cards, show vouchers and limited hand-screened posters. Landolt reported the campaign a success, having raised nearly $500 more than the $3,000 goal by the end of the month. A string of benefit shows were also used to raise awareness for Error. Adam Barnett, senior in Media and member of the “fake chip-tune eight-bit pop punk� band I Am God, participated in the first show on Feb. 16 at Garfield’s Garden. “I knew that the C-U Collective tried to do something a couple years back and it just kind of stopped,� Barnett said of starting an all-age venue. “So I thought it was really cool that (Landolt) was keeping it going.� Aaron Shults, senior in Media, also performed at the same show as a member of the punkinspired pop band Kowabunga! Kid in a battle set against Dino Bravo. Shults enjoyed playing in the show in addition to helping fund what he hopes to be a future staple in the ChampaignUrbana music scene. “Error Records was the first label I knew that operated on

Google Glass may be vision of the future BY STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER
Three years ago, Google introduced an idea attracting the attention of many techies: a hands-free headset with functions similar to those of a computer or smartphone. By the end of 2013, Google hopes to turn this idea into reality by making Google Glass available to consumers for less than $1,500. But Glass is not the fi rst of its kind. Its innovation and design are “direct descendants of wearable computing prototypes going back in the ’90s,� said Paris Smaragdis, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering. According to The New York Times , the previous model weighed up to eight pounds. Now, Glass weighs less than traditional eyewear and is currently in negotiation with eyeglasses company Warby Parker to create a more sophisticated, trendy and fashionable look. Glass resembles futuristic eyeglasses but does not have actual lenses. Instead, it has a half-inch display connected to the temples of the glasseslike structure that comes into focus when users look to the right and up. Using a mirrored glass block, the small screen is viewable to users. Steven LaValle, professor of computer science, further explained the structural mechanics of the product. “Using sophisticated computer vision techniques, the glasses can determine which people you are looking at or provide directions that directly appear on your glasses,� Lavelle said. With this in mind, Lavalle argued that Google Glass is achieving a feat much more complicated than a functioning display screen. “Google Glass is taking a step toward augmented reality, which keeps you knowing where you are but enhances your experience by providing useful information and enabling easy interaction with remote people,� he said. “Our eyes see things that are not ‘real.’� The simplicity of the design and structure of the product is also reflected in the activation of the product. With an utterance of the words “OK Glass,� the pseudo-glasses can execute multiple on-command actions: taking pictures, recording videos, looking up map directions and sharing content — all done hands-free. “You do not have to take your eyes off what you are looking at right now, and it’s completely hands free,� said Zhen Li, a Ph.D. candidate in electrical and computer engineering. “This could be extremely conve-

after the Destroyer Destroyer track “ERROR,� Landolt has continued the practice under the official title with a DIY mentality, releasing more elaborate packaging and forming connections within the ChampaignUrbana community in the last seven years. “After doing the label for a really long time and booking shows and playing in bands and being in the area and seeing what the potential is, it made me want to do something more,� Landolt said. “I think there’s a great music scene here already — I won’t deny that — I just think that for some of the music that I’d like to see come through here more, there isn’t really somewhere for them to play.� Landolt initially only had plans for a music venue to pro-
fessionally continue his hobby of putting on house shows in the area. However, something else was needed to bring in revenue. Having a record store in the front of the location seemed like the logical option, expanding his already established online distribution to a greater scale. The store will supply mostly vinyl, as well as a selection of cassettes, CDs and DVDs. Vinyl is a higher-quality sound, comes with bigger artwork and more detailed packaging, Landolt said, which he thinks many customers appreciate. While other music venues typically have bars as revenue support, Landolt believes an allages venue is what ChampaignUrbana needs.

Illini seniors say farewell on BTN ‘The Journey’ showcases senior talent as the regular season comes to end BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER
Throughout the Midwest, a twinkling piano tune greets basketball fans every week to announce a thunderous dunk, all-access footage of a pivotal game or a personal moment that evokes tears. It’s the indelible theme music for the Big Ten Network’s “The Journey 2013,” a documentary program that goes behind the scenes of one of college basketball’s best conferences to serially mine the stories and storylines that unfold during the Big Ten season. After conference play closed Sunday with Indiana’s thrilling victory over Michigan to secure the outright Big Ten title, “The Journey” aired its Senior Day

here’s no rest for the weary. Day One of March Movie Madness kicked off with a bang, bringing shocking upsets (Daniel Larusso’s roundhouse kick that knocked out Jake La Motta and “Raging Bull”), scares to No. 1 seeds (“Hoosiers” and “Rocky” avoided embarrassing firstround exits) and grueling, down-tothe-wire finishes (six playoff holes,
three overtimes and a putting contest were needed before the Mighty Ducks finally emerged from its firstround battle with the members of the Bushwood Country Club and “Caddyshack”). But there are no days off in this epic tournament, and the competitors were back at it Monday with bids to the Elite Eight and eternal glory on the line. Thankfully for March Movie Madness, nearly all our competitors are well-chronicled hard workers, so the quick turnaround didn’t seem to affect the Round Two matchups. Well, perhaps with the exception of Maggie Fitzgerald, who, sadly, wasn’t able to bounce back from a devastating broken neck suffered in a first-round slugfest with “Slapshot” and had to be euthanized (wait, should I have saved that joke for “Seabiscuit”?), as “Million Dollar Baby” succumbed to “Rudy.”
There were no astounding upsets on the day, but that doesn’t mean there was no drama. Three No. 1 seeds — “Bull Durham,” “Hoosiers” and “Rocky” — appeared in serious jeopardy of being sent home early, finding themselves in surprisingly tough battles late. The tourney’s overall No. 1, “Bull Durham,” found itself on the ropes against a “probably on steroids” and “definitely hitting that crack pipe” Micky Ward-led “The Fighter.” “The Fighter” appeared poised for the upset, leading by double digits in the second half and by six with two minutes remaining but was finally done in by its Miami Heat-like chemistry issues. Ward’s brother and right-hand man, Dicky Eklund, simply would not be satisfied playing second fiddle to Ward, repeatedly attempting to steal the spotlight

episode, which featured three of Illinois’ seniors: Tyler Griffey, Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson. The episode, which re-airs Tuesday and Wednesday at 11 p.m. on BTN, runs a gamut of emotions as the various Big Ten seniors come to terms with the end of their college careers. “We find with this episode, in interviewing the kids, is that they understand the finality of it,” said Bill Friedman, coordinating producer at Big Ten Network Original Productions. “This is it. This is the last time they’re going to play at Assembly Hall.” When the final buzzer sounds during Illinois’ victory over Nebraska, the cameras film revealing footage of Paul, who crouches near center court with his jersey covering his face, and Richardson, who ducks his head for five seconds to let the moment sink in before doing a radio interview. “It was an emotional time for these guys, and I think sometimes that gets lost on the fan,” Friedman said. “We really love telling those stories in the Senior Day episode.” It wasn’t the first time “The Journey” swung through Champaign to profile an Illini basketball player this season. Four weeks earlier, Richardson received sole attention in a story on the Peoria pipeline of players to the Illinois program — a pipeline that ends with no apparent heir to Richardson once his career ends in the spring. Richardson said that he’s only watched “The Journey” a few times in his career — once his sophomore year in an episode about former teammate Demetri McCamey and the earlier episode this season on him — but appreciates the exposure the show allows for fans.

Bollant has large influence on women’s basketball team in 1st year as coach BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
A lot has changed in a year for the Illinois women’s basketball team. One year ago, the Illini were without a coach. Athletic director Mike Thomas fired Jolette Law after an 11-19 season and 69-93 overall record in a five-year tenure at the helm. On March 28, Illinois hired Green Bay’s Matt Bollant. In his five years at Green Bay, Bollant went 148-19 (85-5

Horizon League) with four NCAA tournament appearances. Bollant has been able to continue his success in his first year at Illinois; the Illini had their best Big Ten finish since 2007 this season, and they may make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2003. Bollant’s tenure has started with clear differences on both offense and defense that demonstrate Illinois’ improvement in his first year.
Offense Bollant told his players they were instantly 10 points better because of his up-tempo offensive style. While his words didn’t quite ring true, the Illini improved their scoring average by 6.6 points, from 63.4 points per game in 2011-12 to 70.0 points in 2012-13. Illinois increased its scoring largely because its fast-paced style resulted in more shots per game (57.6 versus 62.1), including significantly more 3-pointers (11.5 versus 19.5). One reason for the increase in shots behind the arc was that Bollant felt comfortable with any of his players shooting 3s. Although the Illini shot 2.2 percent lower on 3s this season, Illinois’ 3-pointers made per game increased from 3.6 to 5.7. The increased number of long-range shots also contributed to Illinois’ overall shooting percentage, falling from 40.8 percent to 39.3 percent. In addition to 3-pointers, Bollant also stressed increased aggression in driving to the basket, which could be seen in

SADIE TEPER THE DAILY ILLINI
Brian Roberts, left, and Luke Joyce, both injured pitchers on the Illinois baseball team, sit together to watch the ESPN Gamecast of the team playing at Baylor on Saturday.
Injured pitchers never too far from team BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER
When Luke Joyce walks into the store wearing his Illini zip-up with orange trimming, he usually makes small talk with the cashier. She knows he’s an Illinois baseball player and asks if the Illini have a game today. “Yeah, we got a doubleheader that starts at 2 p.m.,” Joyce says. That’s when he gets a perplexed look. The same one he gets from peo-
ple wondering why he’s in class when the Illini are supposed to be on the road that weekend. Joyce constantly has to clarify that he doesn’t mean he’s on the club baseball team. During the summer, Joyce’s elbow began to feel sore on the mound. It struck him as weird — he’s never had arm trouble in the past. He tried to keep throwing, but the pain became too much. The lefty had surgery this past September — on 9/11, which
creeps him out — on his elbow. There’s a small scar on his arm and he still says it hurts a little as he’s sitting on his couch in his apartment. He’s yet to play in a game this season. Joyce joked that missing this part of the season when the team is traveling so frequently is the best part for him to miss because he’s terrified of flying. The Illini are at Baylor playing

BASEBALL FROM PAGE 1B Game One of a doubleheader, but Joyce hasn’t been traveling with the team because of injury. Instead, he’s forced to watch the games on his computer through Gametracker online, which has little stick figures simulate gameplay. It’s even less entertaining than it seems. During Illinois’ comeback victory on Friday night, Joyce chose to refresh Twitter instead of following along on Gametracker. Refreshing the Twitter feed is much more exciting because he’s not sure when, or if, an update is coming and no clue what it’s going to be. Joyce usually doesn’t spend game time alone. His teammate and fellow pitcher Bryan Roberts is coming to watch the game with him, but Roberts went to the movie theatre to see “Oz: The Great and Powerful” and thought he’d be back in time. “Bryan always does stuff like this,” Joyce says. Today’s a little more exciting, with a radio feed of the game from Baylor in the background while watching the little figures simulate game play. However, the radio is ahead of the Gametracker, so when they hear an inflection of the announcer’s voice they often focus on the screen to see it happen. “Man, this thing sucks,” Joyce said. *** Roberts is still recovering from the after effects of his Tommy John surgery in June of 2010. He was set back in his recovery after calcium built up around his tendon, forcing a second surgery in September of 2011. He made three appearances last season, but continued to struggle with arm troubles. Roberts finally arrives to the apartment in the fourth inning, with a wide grin on his face
MBBALL FROM PAGE 1B said that no one beats him out to the court except the cameramen for “The Journey,” and that one of his first offseason tasks is catching up on all the episodes he DVR’d during the season. But Paul is the one who has seen the most coverage in his career, including his 43-point explosion against Ohio State in his junior year while “The Journey” cameras were rolling. “Everywhere I go, there’s always a fan that’s like, ‘I saw you on The Journey’ and stuff like that,” Paul said. “It’s always really cool to hear that.” Friedman said that the structure of the four-year athletic career of college basketball players provides fans with a chance to grow with each player as they would with the characters in any cable television show. Though these Illinois seniors are departing, F riedman already has the visualization for a segment in a future episode. His cameras have been pointed to the sideline more than once this year, and a compilation of Illinois head coach John Groce’s sideline theatrics could be one of their most promising yet.

game versus 9.2 last season) and turnovers forced (23.8 per game versus 17.9 last season). The aggression comes at a cost. The double teams on traps proves to be a riskier style of play that can create holes in Illinois’ defense, creating easy baskets for its opponents if its able to avoid turnovers. These easy baskets allowed Illini opponents to shoot 42.1 percent from the field, the highest figure in the Big Ten. Last season, Illinois’ opponents shot 41.0 percent.
The turnovers forced by the double teams allow Illinois to shoot 5.5 more shots per game than its opponents, helping the Illini make up for their opponents’ high shooting percentage. Bollant inherited a squad with a significant lack of depth and significant lack of size. He had 10 scholarship players but lost two to career-ending injuries as the season progressed. Bollant only played one forward, senior Karisma Penn, significant minutes, leaving Illinois with a lack
of interior size. The shallow frontcourt contributed to a dip in rebounding margin and blocks for the Illini. Last season, Illinois was outrebounded by 1.1 rebounds per game and the margin fell even further down to -3.6 rebounds per game this season. Illinois’ lack of size could also be seen in a decrease from 5.1 blocks per game to 3.7 blocks this season.
despite being late. He thought the movie was a little strange, but he loved it. It’s a lot more fun for Joyce and Roberts when they get to watch the games together. Sometimes the two will watch another sporting event on television while they leave the computer up. Last Sunday, they watched the Blackhawks on TV, following Gametracker on one computer and following an NBA game between the Knicks and Heat on another. Today, Baylor and Kansas are facing each other in men’s basketball on ESPN, and they’re even rooting against Baylor there. “Man, it’d be so cool to get a sweep,” Roberts said, only referring to baseball. The score is tied 3-3 when Joyce starts reminiscing about his first game at Illinois. He can still remember how nervous he was, that as he came set on the mound he felt he could feel his arms shaking. He probably could have been called for a balk. With a runner on first, the opposing team... “Oh no!” He stops in the middle of his flashback to see Baylor just hit a solo home run to leadoff the bottom of the fourth and now lead 4-3. “That’s all right, we’ll get it back,” Joyce said. When the opposing team bunts the ball back to him he heard everyone yelling “2-2-2” for him to get the guy at second, but nerves took over and he flipped the ball to first. The runner on second would come around to score and Illinois would lose. Roberts was a senior in high school and had just recently made his commitment with the Illini the last time Illinois and Baylor played in 2008. He remembers his high school coach the day after asking him: “What happened to your boys? They got beat 20-6.”
Roberts is now a fifth-year senior who has just those three appearances since 2011. He turned down offers from Virginia Tech and Villanova to end up at Illinois. He rarely gets the same confused people inquiring about why he’s not gone during baseball season. “This is my third year (being injured), so I think people may be more surprised when I am gone,” Roberts says with a laugh. Thomas Lindauer just led off the seventh inning with a solo home run of his own to tie the game. “Wait, no way,” Roberts says. They go to watch the play actually happen on Gametracker to make sure it’s real. It’s Lindauer’s second home run in as many weeks after never hitting one in his college career. “I can’t wait to text Jordan (Parr) and tell him Thomas has more power than him,” said Joyce, who lives with Lindauer. *** “This game’s going to extras,” Joyce keeps saying, even as the game enters the eighth inning. Ironically, Joyce pitched in the Illini’s last extra-innings game — a 12-inning game against Southern Illinois in 2011. Joyce threw a scoreless ninth to send the game into extras. The two discuss how pitching will play out if the game extends, keeping in mind that there’s another game in a few hours. They agree that just because someone pitched in Game One shouldn’t disqualify them from the night game. “I’d love to pitch twice in a day,” Joyce mutters under his breath as he turns his attention back to the computer. Joyce didn’t throw a baseball for two months after his injury. When he finally tried to throw again, he could barely toss the ball 10 feet. “When you take so much time off to do something you don’t
really realize how much you need to do it to stay in shape,” Joyce said. He had Roberts with him to help rehab, which meant staying after morning workouts in the fall for extra shoulder and elbow exercises, extra reps with resistance bands and extra throwing. Both pitchers have been throwing off the mound twice a week are aiming for a comeback this weekend, or at the latest next weekend. They insist they’re ready. Last week during practice, Joyce found himself getting riled up during pitcher’s fielding practice, which is normally the most boring and tedious part. They’ve made the most of not traveling, trying to find ways to make it fun, and at times it is. But for three days, Joyce and Roberts feel apart of the team; by Thursday, when the Illini leave to travel on the bus, they’re left behind. Joyce’s prediction comes true, and Illinois and Baylor go into extra innings. The game isn’t decided until the 11th. The guys would rather check their Twitter feeds for updates. Joyce swipes his finger down his iPhone multiple times during one minute, not wanting to miss the update. “What happened? Check again,” Roberts says. When the tweet they want comes, Joyce throws up his hands and punches the air in celebration. From @IlliniBaseball: “BIG pinch-hit RBI single by @RyanNagle_9 brings home @Hohly_3 from 2nd & gives the #Illini a 5-4 lead in the top of the 11th!” “Winning makes it easier,” Joyce says. “You feel that disconnect. I took traveling for granted my first two years. It kind of gets you down. But we’ll be back soon.”

(and his stash of cocaine), culminating in three consecutive botched possessions down the stretch that allowed the eversteady Crash Davis and Co. to sneak by with the walk-off home run. Age and experience was pitted against the exuberance of youth in the other two near-upsets of No. 1 seeds. The always-mumbling, never-making-any-sense, why-is-he-still-with-thatwet-blanket-girlfriend-Adriancan’t-she-just-die-already-andget-it-over-with Rocky entered his matchup seemingly without a game plan, getting pummeled repeatedly in the early rounds by a Mighty Ducks squad that came hungry and looking to prove itself. It felt like a changing of the guards was happening before our eyes. We probably shouldn’t have been surprised. Rocky has played this trick on us a million times before, taking heavy abuse early before rallying late (that’s probably why he’s now a constantly-muttering, impossible-to-understand, there’s-a-70-percent-chancehe-has-brain-damage-fromall-those-punches-to-the-head, washed-up-fighter who can’t even seem to reconcile with his now grown-up and obnoxious son. Hey, at least Adrian’s dead. Let’s all just agree “Rocky Balboa” doesn’t exist). He loves being down and out, being the underdog. That’s when Rocky’s at his best. And just as we started to believe in the upset, Rocky hit back with a vengeance, knocking Gordon Bombay on his pompous ass once and for all and showing all his critics why he was a No. 1 seed in the first place.
But the closest we came to witnessing a No. 1 go down came in the controversial finish to the “Hoosiers”/”Sandlot” bracket. This one looked over. The buzzer had sounded. “Sandlot” had won. But a penalty on the game’s final play led to a Bush-Gore-style recount, and the legendary Jimmy Chitwood, already putting on a Jordanagainst-the-Knicks-in-1993type show, nailed a buzzer-beater to keep the state of Indiana’s hopes alive, continuing to kill Smalls and send the up-start kids of “Sandlot” back to their summer shenanigans. The rest of the bracket played out with slightly less intrigue. Coach Boone and the Titans stayed perfect, the Toon Squad crushed “Field of Dreams,” Larusso and Miyagi couldn’t continue their Cindarella run and in a shock to nobody anywhere, American pride overcame a movie about horses (or maybe it was because Tobey Maguire was the lead in “Seabiscuit.” Yes, that’s gotta be it. Always blame Tobey Maguire). The field has been trimmed to eight, and all the No. 1 seeds have survived. The next round figures to be just as entertaining, as the first two have been. Will Chitwood be able to D up MJ? Can anyone stop the juggernaut that is the T.C. Williams Titans? How many feet are in a mile? (5,280. You’re killin’ me, Peetey!). Will anyone call Rudy out for being the failure that he is? Would all of these movies have been better with Paul Walker? Just like the rest of you, I’ll be on the edge of my seat waiting for the answers. Except for the last question. We all know that’s a resounding yes.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda throws a pitch in the first inning of a spring training baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals in Tampa, Fla. on Monday.
Jeter goes 0-2, but Yankees top Cardinals THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Derek Jeter is just about ready to play in the field for the first time this year. Jeter went 0 for 2 in his second game as a designated hitter since returning from a broken ankle, a 4-0 win for the New York Yankees over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. The Yankees captain was hurt Oct. 13 in the AL championship series opener. Jeter grounded out in the first and hit into a double play in the third. He could play shortstop Wednesday “That’s the plan as of now,” he said. Yankees manager Joe Girardi planned to talk with Jeter on Tuesday.
“If he comes out OK, we’re going to throw him in there,” Girardi said. New York’s Hiroki Kuroda gave up three hits and struck out six in four innings. “I’m getting there,” Kuroda said through a translator. Kevin Youkilis hit a fourthinning solo homer off Lance Lynn, who allowed one run and two hits over four innings. “Slider that didn’t slide,” Lynn said. “That’s why we’re down here working, trying to make sure that pitch is ready to go for the season. But I threw some good ones early on, so you can’t really harp on the one bad one. Other than that one pitch, I threw the ball pretty well.”
Sports movies overindulge in Hollywood’s influence ELLIOT SILL Sports columnist
If
you pay attention to sports for long enough, you will see history repeat itself. You will see players whose career paths are reminiscent of past legends and teams whose playing style brings back memories of champions of yore, and you will see the same wonderful wholesome storylines play out: the Cinderella story, the comeback kid, the greatest last-second shot ever and the dignified, heartbreaking defeat. It’s hard not to get redundant in a world based around a dichotomy of winning and losing. You win a certain variety of ways, you lose a certain variety of ways. Once every blue moon, Dennis Rodman will go to North Korea and you’ll have an utterly inimitable sports story, but for the most part, the roller coaster only goes up and down. Most of what I know about the arc of a sports season or storyline I learned before I had the attention span to watch a full game, let alone trace the
narrative path of a series of games through an entire year. Most of what I learned, “Space Jam” taught me. Of the previous four wonderful wholesome storylines I referenced, “Space Jam” included three. As for the dignified, heartbreaking defeat, I had “Bring It On.” And so you have sports movies. That’s why it’s hard to care for sports movies; by the time you’re 12, you’ve just about seen them all. Once all the cliches are in your lexicon, it’s hard to find joy as you consume more of the same. The majority of sports movies are catered toward young audiences because they serve as an introduction to narrative concepts in sports and because that’s who still believes movies as a legitimate and credible representation of reality. Sports have a dark side in their opportunity cost. What are you giving up to pursue your athletic aspirations? That’s what the movies for younger crowds don’t focus on, and how a sports movie can become relevant to a mature audience. But in the end, no matter what side of the age fence you’re on, you’re still watching the work
of Hollywood, where every hung gun goes off and people aren’t people, but characters. It’s a haven for false ideals, such as “Rudy,” “Miracle” and “Invincible,” romanticized tales based on true events. No matter how much a movie production crew seeks to close the gap between the source material and the film depiction, it never closes. Fictional film representations of historical sports stories never recreate the emotion brought about by the original event, they can only remind you of how it felt. To recapture that emotion, you need the journalistic backing of a documentary film. Even documentaries aren’t 100 percent reliable because time changes the way we see everything. However, their authenticity sets them apart as a superior medium. The line between journalism and researched fiction is often blurred, but it’s pretty clear cut when it comes to cinema. Documentaries are journalistic. Fictional movies are for entertainment. The whole appeal of fictional movies is based on the thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool if this actually happened?” Documentaries are amazing
because they’re based on the thought, “Isn’t it cool that this actually happened?” That’s why documentaries are preferred. Our movie panel for this week’s March Movie Madness let out a collective sigh when it was declared that documentaries, such as those from ESPN’s magnificent “30 for 30” series, would not be featured in the bracket. Most of the movies in the bracket were ones we remembered from childhood, though some were more adultthemed. Most of them are from at least 10 years ago because most of the good sports narratives have already been told one way or another. All of them brought something special, though, that made the sensationalist aspect one of secondary importance. Fictional sports movies have their different brandings. There’s the three wonderful wholesome storylines from before, there’s the Greek hero rise-and-fall saga and the sportsaffect-the-real-world story. If there’s one sport that should thank Hollywood for its existence, it’s boxing. The career arc of a boxer is bound to the Greek hero story. Boxers
can’t go out on top — unless they’re Rocky Balboa, I guess — because once you have the title belt, the only thing left to do is lose it. Muhammad Ali was the original greatest of all time, but at the price of his well-being. He’s also a prime example of the sports-affect-thereal-world story because of how he famously dodged the draft. This type of storyline must be preceded by civil unrest, creating barriers to be broken through athletic competition. But I don’t think Hollywood would be crazy enough to create a story in which Dennis Rodman employs “basketball diplomacy” with North Korea to ease tensions between America and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. That’s why if you truly love sports, you prefer reality to scripted scores and speeches. Because without the makeup, the perfect lighting, the slowmotion finish and the famous faces, sports manage to turn the unthinkable into history, and the story always unfolds differently, even if it brings back the same memories of seasons gone by.
