Researchers build artificial whiskers Tech provides precise sense for surgeons
BY CAELI CLEARY STAFF WRITER
Most mammals, like dogs, cats and seals use their whiskers to aid their vision, especially in the dark. Animal whiskers — primarily seal whiskers — inspired University researchers and researchers at the Advanced Digital Sciences Center, ADSC, to create artificial whiskers that could serve as an alternative, or additional, sensory system for surgeons. Robo-whiskers is a sensing device that “collects measurements with multiple whiskers from different directions to produce tomographic images of the fluidflow,” said Cagdas Tuna, a postdoctoral researcher at ADSC. The artificial whiskers could be beneficial to doctors while performing surgery because of the extra sense it gives them. It provides additional information by giving doctors the ability “to image the sensation of touch as a result of the contact of the whiskers,” said Farzad Kamalabadi, professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a researcher in the Coordinated Science Laboratory. For example, instead of doing an open-heart surgery, which increases risk for infection, Tuna said doctors can perform keyhole surgery using the artificial whiskers. “Using a thin whiskered

A model of ‘robo-whiskers’ developed by University professor Cagdas Tuna and a research team, which could aid doctors during surgery catheter tip for this procedure may provide the tactile feedback as good as in an open surgery using hands, tracking the catheter position inside the heart precisely but with reduced risk of injury or infection,” he said. Kamalabadi said the device could best be applied in a surgical area where a doctor would need an extra sense. “There may be multiple applications, but one of the more immediate applications would allow you to develop this extra sense in the form of images that you build in areas where you don’t have access to either photometric vision — the ability to image something — or you can’t use
other modes of sensing, for example in a murky area under water,” he said. Tuna said they are now working on an advanced model of the artificial whiskers to increase the device’s sensing capabilities. “In this study, we have only considered passive sensing, but animals extensively use active sensing, meaning that they are responsive to their environment,” Cagdas said. “I believe if we can mimic some of these strategies animals use to survive in their environment, we can actually further increase the sensing capabilities of the whiskery system.”

Wilson to name interim provost within days DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson announced that she hopes to name an interim provost within the next few days through a University massmail to faculty Tuesday morning. She said she has spoken with “more than 60 individuals” to help guide her through the process of selecting someone to fill former Provost Ilesanmi Adesida’s role following his resignation Aug. 24.
Adesida’s resignation was effective Monday, leaving the provost’s office empty. Wilson named the pending state budget cuts, the formation of a College of Medicine, upcoming dean searches and “finding ways to heal the divisions of the past year” as issues she has focused on while consulting with others on an interim chancellor. Wilson, will only serve as interim chancellor until a permanent replacement is found. Once a permanent

chancellor is named, Tom Hardy, University spokesperson said the search for a permanent provost will begin, making it likely that the interim provost will hold the position for over one year. The Senate Executive Committee met Monday to formally recommend a chancellor search process, per President Timothy Killeen’s request. The SEC will present the revised chancellor search process document to the Academic Senate on
Sept. 14. If the senate approves the recommendation the senate will elect members to a chancellor search committee. The committee will be chaired by a faculty member and consist of eight faculty members, three students — at least one undergraduate and at least one graduate or professional student — one dean, one academic professional and one staff member.

Slain Illinois officer identified as veteran cop and father of 4; manhunt continues BY DAN HINKEL, DAN MORAN, FRANK ABDERHOLDEN AND LAUREN ZUMBACH TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
CHICAGO — The Fox Lake, Ill., police officer shot and killed while chasing three suspects Tuesday morning was a 30-year veteran of the force who went by the nickname “G.I. Joe” and was married with four children, according to police and family. “He’s got four sons who are going to have to go on alone,” said Terry Resetar, mother-in-law of the slain officer, Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, 52. Gliniewicz radioed shortly before 8 a.m. while on routine patrol that he was going to check on some suspicious activity, Lake County sheriff’s spokes-
man Chris Covelli said during a news conference. He then radioed he was in a “foot pursuit” but communication was lost after that, Covelli said. Other officers responded and found him shot near Route 12 and Sayton Road, he said. Gliniewicz was discovered in a marshy area, stripped of his gun and other gear, according to Lake County Undersheriff Raymond Rose. He died at the scene, the undersheriff said. Police established a perimeter and sent helicopters into the air as they sought three suspects, described only as a black male and two white males, Rose said. Several canine units were also dispatched, as well as SWAT
teams in camouflage. With the help of U.S. marshals, teams of police from throughout the county searched surrounding woods and businesses in the area. By 4 p.m. CDT, no arrests had been made as more than 100 police officers continued the search. Parents were asked to pick up their children at local schools. Friends and colleagues remembered Gliniewicz as fun-loving and optimistic and dedicated to his work. “This should never happen. Joey just loved his job,” said Thomas Poulos, a retired Waukegan police officer who said he went to high school with Gleniewicz in Antioch, Ill.

C-U ranked among top cities for commuters BY JESSIE WEBSTER STAFF WRITER
The cars that race down Green Street every day may imply otherwise, but a report from the U.S. Census reported residents in the Champaign-Urbana area make up one of the lowest rates of private vehicle commuting in the country. The report, “Who Drives to Work? Commuting by Automobile in the United States: 2013,” was published in August by the American Community Survey Reports division of the U.S. Census Bureau. The survey included 15 metro areas throughout the country. In 2013, 78.4 percent of workers in Champaign-Urbana commuted to work by private vehicle. The second most popular mode way to get to work was walking, which was 7.9 percent of commuters choice of transportation. Brian McKenzie, author of the report, said in the report the private automobile is the main form of transportation for work and other travel purposes in the United States. In 2013, about 86 percent of United States workers commuted to work by private vehicle, either driving alone or by carpooling. The rate
of carpooling has declined since 1980, dropping from 19.7 percent to 9 percent, according to the report Rita Morocoima-Black, transportation planning manager for the Champaign-Urbana Urbanized Area Transportation Study (CUUATS), said processing the information found in the census was tasked to CUUATS, the transportation entity of the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission. The commission is a part of the Metropolitan Planning Organization responsible for administering the federally mandated transportation planning process for the ChampaignUrbana area, along with Savoy, Bondville and Tolono, according to the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission’s website. Morocoima-Black said people in Champaign-Urbana choose to commute to work by vehicle due to convenience. “People value time, and they know that walking, biking or taking the bus will take longer time for them to get to work in the morning or back home in the evening,” Morocoima-Black
said. “Another factor for not using transit is the lack of privacy or peace and quiet time, as well as the lack of direct access to destinations outside of campus and the downtowns.”
“Champaign-Urbana is basically in the group with lower automobile use. That’s important.” CHARLIE SMYTH
CUNNINGHAM TOWNSHIP BOARD MEMBER
The report found that nationally, Champaign-Urbana has a higher rate of private vehicle commuters than the New York-Newark-Jersey City area, Boulder, Co. and Ithaca, NY, among other places. Bill Brown, Cunningham Township Board member, said the report references Champaign and Urbana as one entity. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Urbana has about 55 percent of residents using their car to
commute to work, followed by walkers at 15 to 16 percent. Sixteen percent of residents use public transit and 6 percent bike. “One thing to remember about the data is that the American Community Survey conducted by the census takes a small sample by mail every week throughout the year, so 6 percent by bike means an average for the whole year,” Brown said. “It would probably be lower in the winter and higher in other months.” Charlie Smyth, Cunningham Township Board member, said he agrees with Brown’s assessment. “Champaign-Urbana is basically in the group with lower automobile use. That’s important,” Smyth said in an email. “Being a college community like several others on the list, walking is a big second choice. For those who live near campus, it makes great sense.” Morocoima-Black attributed a steady rate of the use of alternate transportation methods to efforts that have been made in the last 10 years to make such methods more appealing to commuters. “The staff at MPO and it’s members have been work-
Jeb Bush punches back at Trump BY PATRICIA MAZZEI TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
MIAMI — He said he would campaign for president “joyfully.” But Jeb Bush has apparently realized that happy talk won’t get him anywhere in the era of Donald Trump. Bush took his gloves off Tuesday in Miami after his campaign released a new web video attacking Trump as a phony Republican. The video came on the heels of a Trump video Monday slamming Bush over immigration. Speaking mostly in Spanish — which will do little to get him press coverage in early-primary states like Iowa and New Hampshire — Bush told reporters he decided to go after Trump “because he attacks me every day with barbarities.” “The man is not conservative,” Bush said. “Besides, he tries to personalize everything. If you’re not totally in agreement with him you’re an idiot or stupid or don’t have energy or blah blah blah. “That’s what he does, and it’s not good, because there are millions of people who today think their future isn’t as it should be,” added Bush, whom Trump has repeatedly poked as “low energy.” Earlier Tuesday, Bush told Fox News he’s “fired up,” just not running a “campaign based on angst.” The former Florida governor insisted he is playing the long game and will outlast the summer of Trump. The real-estate magnate has risen to the top of key public-opinion polls, followed by other non-politicians, as Bush has seen his numbers slip to single digits. “We have to elevate the debate a bit, without a doubt,” Bush said in Miami, still speaking in Spanish and resorting to various sports metaphors. “This is a very long process. We have to remember that tomorrow’s not Election Day. We’re in the first inning, no? This is a marathon. So I have patience that in the long run we’re going to raise the debate to important topics for the great majority of voters.” Polls show Trump’s popularity, though, isn’t

based on issues or ideology. Republicans like that Trump “tells it like it is,” according to a Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll of Iowa voters released this week. Forty-one percent of Trump’s supporters consider him “moderate,” compared to 35 percent who label him “conservative.” (Ten percent called him “liberal” in the poll, and only 4 percent used the term “very conservative.”)
“We have to remember that tomorrow’s not Election Day.” JEB BUSH
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
The Trump campaign declined to comment early Tuesday on the Bush campaign video, before Bush attended a town hall at La Progresiva Presbyterian School in Little Havana. He fielded questions from high-school students, some of them so young that they were born around the time Bush moved into the Florida Governor’s Mansion in 1999.
Bush chose the school to talk about the voucher program he created as governor that gives corporations tax credits for funding students who want to attend a private or parochial school rather than a public one. Almost all the students at Bush’s event were Hispanic, and the room got particularly excited when Bush engaged in Spanishlanguage conversations. A teacher repeatedly referred to him as “Governor Jeb.” He asked one girl, a senior, where she planned to go to college. She said she didn’t know yet — and countered with a question about what the government could do about securing financial aid for students in the country illegally who might be unable to pursue professional careers because of their immigration status. Bush responded with his pitch for reforming the immigration system and giving so-called “Dreamers” brought into the country illegally by their parents a path to U.S. citizenship (others who qualify should earn “legal status,” he said). Bush noted his wife, Columba, was born in Mexico — and that one of his daughters-in-law is IraqiCanadian. His young grand-
daughters, he said, are “Texan-Mexican-Canadian-Iraqi Americans.” A boy asked Bush about his favorite food, and he said “Mexican,” endorsing a new restaurant, El Wapo Taco in Coral Gables, as “authentic.” He later posed for selfies with the students. The optics worked well for diverse Miami, but that’s not where Bush is struggling with voters. His jabs at Trump won’t resonate as much in the rest of the country — and with Trump’s supporters — because they were made in Spanish and are less likely to be translated and picked up by national English-language news outlets. Once he was mobbed by reporters, Bush showed flashes of the politician Florida veterans remember from his days in Tallahassee. He pushed back at a reporter’s question of his use of the term “anchor babies” (”C’mon, man”) and refused to hit Chris Christie over the New Jersey governor’s remark that visitors in the U.S. might be tracked like Fed-Ex packages so they don’t overstay their visas, Bush didn’t seize the opportunity to hit Christie back. “It came out wrong,” Bush said — perhaps thinking of his own verbal gaffes.
rehabilitation treatment. He has been receiving physical and occupational therapy several times a day as he works to improve functioning of his new hands. The boy will continue to receive outpatient therapy, which may last as long as two years. The doctors who performed the surgery will continue to follow Zion at first monthly, and then annually throughout his life. Zion had his hands and feet amputated at the age of 2 after a sepsis infection caused him to develop gangrene. A team of 40, including nurses and other staff from plastic and reconstructive surgery, orthopaedic surgery, anesthesiology, and radiology, took part in the 10-hour operation.

Deputies investigating bank robbery in Bonita Springs KRISTINE GILL TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Lee deputies are investigating a bank robbery that took place Tuesday afternoon at Fifth Third Bank in Bonita Springs. Deputies responded to the call at 12:07 p.m. at 8800 West Terry St. Surveillance footage shows a white male entered the bank, brandished a gun and demanded money. He then fled the scene in a gold Pontiac or Buick crossover with an undisclosed amount of cash.
K9 and aviation units were deployed to search the area but did not immediately find the suspect, who is described as a white male about 6-feettall between 160 and 180 pounds, according to reports. He was wearing a white bandana over his face along with an Ohio State baseball cap. He may have been driving a gold Pontiac Aztek. A red dye pack was deployed during the robbery and the man or his vehicle may have red dye on them. No injuries were reported during the robbery.
Coyote sightings no reason for concern, official says MEGAN ROSENDAHL TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Recent coyote sightings in town aren’t cause for alarm, according to Aberdeen’s animal control officer. A coyote was spotted this morning on 15th Avenue Northeast. John Weaver said that seeing coyotes is not that uncommon this time of year. “We are building into their natural environment,” he said. “Wildlife in general is getting more comfortable with people, mainly because we’re building into their space.” Fifteenth Avenue is a prime example as it is built out to North Roosevelt
Street. Weaver said there is a mother coyote and three pups living in a retaining pond in the area. The coyotes have been spotted several times, but aren’t anything to worry about, he said. “Coyotes like rabbits and pheasants. They typically want nothing to do with humans,” Weaver said. Weaver encourages folks who live in the area to use a little common sense. “Don’t leave food out for your pets, especially if you live along the bike path,” he said. “There’s really nothing to do about them unless you’re concerned that they pose a threat.”

EDITORIAL Illinois needs to take another look at aid distribution
As
if college students don’t have enough financial concerns, the Federal Reserve Bank has found a link between increasing federal aid and rising tuition, in a report they published this year. It is troubling, disheartening and upsetting to see a link between rising aid and rising tuition. Increasing financial aid is clearly meant to assist and ease the burden of college costs, ideally making a college education more feasible for students. But that theory and goal is made useless if tuition rises with it. The prospect of tuition rising with aid continuing will make it increasingly difficult for lower and middle class families to send their children to college. And if Governor Rauner’s proposal to cut the University’s funding is approved, Illinois students and the state as a whole are looking at a bleak fiscal future.
In a Daily Illini article published today, Associate Vice President for Planning and Budgeting Randy Kangas said that when the Board of Trustees sets tuition each year, it does not look at federal aid given to students. If there are students in need and receiving federal aid, the University should consider that factor when setting tuition. The Daily Illini also interviewed Dan Mann, director of Student Financial Aid, who said the lack of state support has been a factor in the recent years of tuition rise. “The state is no longer providing the same support as they have in the past and that’s been a big part of that decision making,� Mann said. “In recent years, the institution has been putting more grant money into financial aid packages in order to help us be a bit more competitive.� Incidentally, efforts have been made in the past few years to increase University enrollment. Seemingly misguided attempts have tar-

geted the notification date for applicants, which resulted in getting rid of deferring students. However, no amount of effort can truly help enrollment numbers without looking at the skyrocketing tuition that makes it hard for many in and out-of-state applicants to attend the University. One of the best parts about attending this institution is the ability to interact with different students from different backgrounds. Without taking a firm look at our tuition rates, we face finding ourselves surrounded by people only with the thickest wallets. By cancelling out the effects that financial aid has, we make this institution more difficult to attend, which directly goes against recent University efforts. The University needs to take a serious look at the tuition prices, and they should do students the courtesy of considering financial aid rates and student need when doing so.

Question what you read, even textbooks STEPHANIE YOUSSEF OPINIONS COLUMNIST
O
ver the weekend I watched Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, when he announced he was releasing a book that was nothing but a collection of lies and made up facts about history. The book was to be titled “History Lies,� but he then hilariously ended the segment saying he had been lying for the entire video and that there was no book to begin with. Though John Oliver was merely kidding, I spent most of the segment believing every word he said. Growing up, most of us were told “don’t believe everything you hear,� and I’m sure following that advice saved us from a lot of trouble throughout our youth. But as college students, we are thrown into classrooms with books and exams and are generally trained to believe that what our professors say and the content we read in textbooks are absolute facts. Though we are mainly here to learn, all students and academics in general should see the value in approaching what we read and hear with certain degrees of skepticism. As students, introducing a healthy level of doubt in questioning underlying assumptions can be helpful in verifying information and eliminating misconceptions. I understand the paradox between what I am saying and the fact that you are currently reading this very article, but allow me to explain. This week, an investigation led by University of Virginia Professor of Psychology Brian Nosek found that of 100 psychology studies published in 2008, only 36 percent of the results were reproducible. Over 270 scientists on five different continents replicated the 100 experiments and in the end, over 50 percent of cognitive psychology studies and 75 percent of social psychology studies failed to replicate their results when repeated. The lack of consistent results from these studies show that either the conclusions are wrong, not significant or that more research is needed. However, the results of many of these studies are taught in psychology classes and are cited in psychology textbooks. Though the lack of validity highlights the weak reliability of psychology research, a key takeaway according to Dr. Nosek is that “one study is not going to be the last word.� But we don’t always think of that when listening to a lecture or reading a textbook. As students, we enroll in classes taught by very knowledgeable professors who have dedicated their lives to the study of the field that they are
teaching. But it is important to keep in mind that disagreement exists even among researchers and academics. For example, in 1998, a researcher conducted a study that found a connection between autism and vaccines. The study was not based on statistics or reliable research methods, but that didn’t stop it from leading to one in five millennials in the U.S. believing some vaccines cause autism in healthy children. Despite dozens of followup studies conducted by other skeptical academics with over 14 million children that found no link between autism and vaccines, people still believed one poorly conducted study that was later found to be fabricated. If those who read and reported the initial study had been more skeptical of the results and had been more careful in researching more vaccine studies, the great vaccine debate probably wouldn’t be an issue today. Now this is not to say that everything we see and hear is all of a sudden a lie (unless you are a 17th century philosopher named Rene Descartes). There is a difference between cynicism and skepticism; there are merits to applying reasoning and critical thinking to determine validity in every situation. There is a lot of truth to what we learn in our classes, but there are many uncertainties that are accepted without substantial validation. Some may say that skeptics are pessimistic, but I would argue that skepticism can be an extremely positive influence. Skeptical students playing the devil’s advocate can help filter out weak arguments and strengthen those that pass the test. When a professor of anthropology tries to teach you that Chief Illiniwek creates a negative climate against all Native American students, seek a contradictory viewpoint. When former Chancellor Wise emails you that the university administration is dedicated to academic freedom, look up a recent report by the American Association of University Professors. When someone tries to tell you that vaccines cause autism, go look at the hundreds of studies done by reputable researchers that say otherwise. As students, our opportunity to learn from questioning is one unrivaled in any other setting. Academia thrives on curiosity and the advancement of knowledge is verified by the ability of students and academics to think critically. Question, doubt and reason through everything, and you will reach well supported, accurate conclusions.
There is a lot of truth to what we learn in our classes, but there are many uncertainties that are accepted without substantial validation.�

Bikers using yoga for relief More riders means new pain solutions BY KAY MANNING TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Keeping a bicycle balanced and rolling puts stress and strain on the body that riders can prepare for, and recover from, with the right exercises. As more people use bikes to commute, to exercise and to socialize, they may find themselves with aches and pains that were considered par for the course when riding was occasional but can nag and discourage when it’s counted on as transportation or recreation. From 2000 to 2013, the number of U.S. bike commuters grew by about 60 percent, according to the League of American Bicyclists, an advocacy group. In the decade between 1999 and 2009, the number of U.S. bicycle trips jumped from 1.8 billion to 4 billion per year, according to the federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics, which also found in 2012 that the average length of a bicycle trip was slightly more than an hour. Biking, like running, is good aerobic exercise, said Bob Oppliger, a retired exercise science researcher at the University of Iowa, and it has the advantage of causing less stress on the joints. “Physical activity in and of itself is good. Biking is particularly good for those who are overweight,� Oppliger said, but the static position of cycling can cost the body in lost strength and flexibility. Hunching over handlebars while perched on a narrow seat, pedaling constantly and holding up the head to watch the road take a toll on muscles from the neck to the feet, the spine and back. Getting a bike that fits the rider’s frame and range of motion is important, but so is developing habits to restore the body after a strenuous
workout and to build endurance for the next one. Uma Kleppinger, who was a competitive cyclist and now is taking up BMX racing as she’s about to turn 49, believes yoga adapted for the particular repetitive strains of cycling can keep riding fun and healthful. “I wanted to help cyclists get to the heart of what’s beneficial to them,� said Kleppinger, of Portland, Ore. Her book “BikeYoga� offers a number of what she calls “stripped down� poses that if practiced consistently can cultivate flexibility and strength. It’s not yoga “for already bendy women,� she said, though some movements are similar to those in other forms of yoga. The poses are intended to counter the shortening and tightness in muscles and tendons that come with cycling and can cause discomfort, poor posture and shortness of breath. “You’re sitting while cycling,� she said, “the worst possible position for the human body. Stress gets stored and those areas need to be opened up. The hips, lower back, shoulders and neck _ the core strength brings it all together.� The locust pose, for example, in which the chest and legs are lifted simultaneously, strengthens the back and tones the abdomen. Kleppinger says the sphinx, a kind of back bend with legs outstretched and arms flat with elbows under shoulders, helps keep the spine strong and flexible and boosts the nervous system. The plank, in which the body is supported on straightened arms and toes, is good for the core, arms and legs. The camel pose, where the body leans backward over bent legs and straight arms with fingers nearly touching toes on the floor, is particularly good to counter hunching. Debbie Russo, who owns N EXT Yoga studio in Wheaton, Ill., and works with athletes of all ages and abilities, sees yoga as having an overall beneficial effect on the minds
of cyclists as well as their bodies. “ Yo g a increases strength, flexibility, focus and balance and can prevent injuries,� said Russo, who stumbled into a yoga class about 13 years ago in an ongoing quest to find some way to feel better as she struggled with Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammation of the bowel. Yoga works to lengthen the hip flexors for more fluid movement in pedaling and to lessen lower back pain, and it stretches the spine to combat rounding of the shoulders and tightness in the neck, she said. She added that emphasis on deep breathing and meditation helps with focus. “It calms the central nervous system and lets you laser focus when needed, like when you’re close to another cyclist or about to turn a sharp corner,� Russo said. Practicing yoga “can prevent injury if you know what your body feels like on a good day. That awareness may get you to back off,� if the strain from cycling is too intense, she said. Russo, like Kleppinger, believes the maximum benefit from yoga comes when a ride is over. A little stretching before is good so the muscles are not too tight, Russo said, but after being hunched over for a period of time, “it’s uber important to lengthen the spine and muscles for future rides.� Kleppinger agrees. She said doing yoga “after makes a whole lot of sense because tissues are flush and saturated and ready to stretch.� She suggests about 20 minutes of targeted poses after a ride and more general movements any time of day to counter the sedentary nature of many jobs and activities. The value of stretching is hard to quantify, Oppliger said, but the very nature of cycling causes parts of the body to fatigue. “It’s probably more a feel-good type of deal. Any way we can think of to reduce stress is valuable,� he said.

lush couches with rhinestone studs, classical art and gilded wallpaper aren’t typically what comes to mind when someone mentions “karaoke,� but these decorate the seven private rooms in A Plus VIP Lounge. The venue, at 214 W. Main St. in Urbana, has transformed its second floor into a karaoke lounge. The upper level should be open within the month, according to owner Di Yu. “We want to make it a multilevel business and a flagship for the entertainment for this area,� Yu said. The combined levels will make A Plus one of the three largest karaoke clubs in the this region
of the United States, according to Yu. Yu, who came to the University to study computer science, said he wasn’t sure how popular the lounge would be with American students. “This kind of entertainment is very new to them,� he said. “In Chicago, I saw people using the rooms, but they mainly use it as a private room. They don’t sing songs; they just plug in their own iPods to play music.� To most campus students, karaoke is limited to choosing from a book of songs and serenading everyone in the bar. The setup at A Plus is much more private. “Asian people get really shy, and they don’t want to sit in front of everyone to sing,� Yu said. “But they feel comfortable with their friends in a small group.�
The rooms in A Plus range from medium to extra-large. They will cost less than $40 per hour, depending on size. Customers will also get a personal waitress and bartender for their room, which is how karaoke lounges are in China, according to Yu. In China, karaoke is second-best to having tea with family, said Ada Tan, junior in Business. Tan studied abroad in Hong Kong and has family there. “It’s not just about singing, but coming together,� she said. Tan went to the busiest part of Hong Kong with her friends, who she said love karaoke and go every month.

or Detroit-based artist Christian Berishaj, also known as JMSN, music has always been an important part of his life. “It’s me. It’s JMSN,� he said. “There’s only one of me, and that’s what makes me unique.� The R&B artist, however, didn’t break into the music industry until 10 years ago, when he was 17 years old. This Wednesday at 8 p.m., he will perform at the Canopy Club, with local band BOYCUT as his opening act. “I love playing every show,� JMSN said. “It’s great.� JMSN was featured on Kendrick Lamar’s album, “Good kid, m.A.A.d city,� including the popular song “Bitch, Don’t Kill my Vibe,� amongst other tracks like “The Art of Peer Pressure,� “Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst� and “Real.� He has also worked with Tyga on his song “Drive Fast, Live Young,� and with Game ft. J. Cole on “Pray.� JMSN’s song “Street Sweeper� has over one million plays on SoundCloud, and his track “Love & Pain� was featured on VH1’s “Single Ladies.� His personal favorite song to perform is “My Way.� JMSN had a positive experience working with Kendrick Lamar, an artist he is also a fan of. “I learned a bunch, and it’s always good to be around people that you’re fans of and respect.� JMSN said Prince, R. Kelly and Whitney
Houston were all influences growing up. Adam Miltenberger, who handles the tour promotions of JMSN, describes the artist’s work as “very soulful R&B.� Miltenberger said that students will enjoy the artist’s enthusiasm and energetic live performance when he comes to the Canopy Club during his “Forever Blue� tour. “It’s a cool opportunity to see an up-andcoming talent in the music industry in an intimate club setting,� Miltenberger wrote via email. “With the way things are going for JMSN, this may be the last opportunity to see him like this.� Noah Karvelis, senior in FAA, said he wants to see what the concert has to offer. Karvelis intends to go to the concert to see his friends in BOYCUT, but is also intrigued by JMSN’s work with Kendrick Lamar. “I want to see good hip-hop live,� Karvelis wrote via email. “This is especially important to me because of my academic interests in music education, which focuses a lot on the inclusion of hip-hop in the music classroom,� JMSN said students will feel the energy from the show. “I love what I do either way,� he said. “They want to come and feel some good energy, some positive energy.�

JANELLE FLAWS ALONE AT THE TOP BY JONATHAN JOFFE STAFF WRITER
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. Last week, when Illinois soccer forward Jannelle Flaws was a few goals away from becoming the program’s all-time leadering scorer, goalkeeper Claire
Wheatley promised to bake her a cake to celebrate the accolade. But despite Wheatley’s promise and the seeming inevitability of a broken record, Flaws knows that nothing in life is guaranteed. She entered college in 2010 after attending Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Illinois. Two torn ACLs later, and Flaws is now in her sixth season of eligibility. Flaws’ collegiate career hasn’t exactly followed the
path she envisioned, but since her 23-goal season in 2013, she hasn’t looked back. “I’ve always been a goal scorer, even in my club days and high school days,� Flaws said. “I’ve always had that vision of the kind of player I was, and I’ve always wanted to do this.� Fast forward to Sunday, when Flaws not only broke Tara Hurless’ 47-goal scoring record, but also netted a hat trick in the opening 25 minutes of Illinois’ match against St. Louis to put an exclamation point on her much-anticipated night. When she scored her first goal and broke the record in the 15th minute, Flaws immediately looked for head
coach Janet Rayfield. The two met on the sideline near the Illinois bench and embraced. While the hug was a natural reaction, that record-setting moment for Flaws has been at the back of her mind for quite some time. “Her belief in me, when I didn’t believe in myself, was a big motivator for me to get back on the field,� Flaws said. “To get that moment was huge, but to be able to share it with someone like herself who’s meant so much to me and my career was even more special.� Rayfield has been there for every moment of Flaws’ Illini career Having that moment with
Flaws was fitting for a coach who has seen someone at their best, and worst. “She turned and started coming this way, and I stepped out and there wasn’t anybody between us,� Rayfield said. “It was sort of a natural thing that happened.� Rayfield saw a natural goal scorer when she recruited Flaws back in high school. She said Flaws’ knack for scoring is “intangible.� While Rayfield might be one of her biggest supporters, it is no secret that Flaws is her own biggest critic. She can describe every goal she had in her first season on the field with the Illini. Flaws only had three goals

Beckman lawsuit possible soon BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
Tim Beckman might not be done with the University of Illinois. The former head football coach might be the latest person to file a lawsuit against the University and the athletic department. After Athletic Director Mike Thomas fired him on Friday, Beckman released a
statement to The Associated Press that implied he might sue the University for wrongful termination. “The fact that the University did not even complete its investigation in this matter is evidence that this entire process was nothing more than a rush to judgment and confirms the University’s abject bad faith,� Beckman said. “Furthermore, the Uni-
versity’s actions today are in violation of the procedures mandated under my employment agreement. As such, I will vigorously defend both my reputation and my legal rights.� Thomas fired Beckman after he received the preliminary findings of an investigation conducted by external reviewer Franczek Radelet of Chicago. The athletic direc-

ecruiting is tricky. Every year, coaches have to deal with the delicate task of evaluating players and identifying who they can realistically devote their time and resources toward. This must be done while also balancing the intentions and motivations of those young athletes with a limited number of scholarships that the coaches have at their disposal. Highly ranked recruits come from different backgrounds, and each carry their own sets of baggage. They all have different lists of schools and visits to take on separate schedules. We saw this play out just last fall when John Groce was recruiting a pair of elite point guards, Jalen Brunson and Jawun Evans, to Illinois. Groce gambled, going all out and attempting to lure one of either Brunson or
Evans. In no universe was Groce going to land both McDonald’s All-Americans, and in hindsight I’m not so sure he had a favorable chance to land either one. Brunson ended up choosing Villanova, and Evans picked Oklahoma State. In the end, Groce wasn’t able to land a true point guard in the 2015 class. Though it’s not identical, we’re now seeing a similar situation play out in the 2016 class with Illini point guard targets Xavier Simpson and Charlie Moore. Simpson and Moore (No. 66 and No. 82 in ESPN’s Top 100, respectively) aren’t as highly ranked as Brunson and Evans were, but the scenario could end in familiar fashion if Groce isn’t careful. Groce is still trying to build a solid foundation for his program in year four, and getting a point guard remains vital. Jaylon Tate is the only true point guard on scholarship who will be on the Illini roster past the upcoming season, so the Illini need to shore up their

Volleyball features elite freshmen in starting lineup BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
The fi rst time Illinois volleyball head coach Kevin Hambly met his starting setter Jordyn Poulter, she was 12 years old. Eight years later, she and fellow freshman middle blocker Ali Bastianelli fi nd themselves in the starting lineup for the No. 6 volleyball team in the country. Their impact, both positive and negative, was noticeable in the Illini’s season opener. In Friday’s sweep of Louisville, Poulter contributed 35 assists while Bastianelli added three kills and five blocks, giving fans a glimpse of why the pair was so heavily recruited to come to Illinois in the fi rst place. However, Hambly said after the match that the pair looked frantic at times, something that is to be expected of freshmen playing in their fi rst collegiate game. Poulter said after the match that certain moments
didn’t play out exactly as she imagined it would. “I think you try and look at yourself playing situations where you are always succeeding and there were times where I struggled (during the game),� Poulter said. “I had to take a step back and understand my role on the team and where I was at the moment.� It’s a system and environment that both players have had to get adjusted to, particularly in terms of the speed of play. Hambly is attempting to run a higher tempo offense this season, and the weekend’s errors suggest that everybody still needs time become accustomed with it. The Illini committed 42 errors over the weekend, including 22 against Louisville. While learning a new system has been a challenge for Bastianelli, she has bought into the expectations Hambly has set for her and the rest of the team. Part of the reason she came
to Illinois was because she believed in the kind of culture Hambly is trying to establish amongst the team. Bastianelli was ranked No. 10 nationally in the 2015 recruiting class. Poulter was ranked No. 3 and the team’s third freshman, Beth Prince, was ranked No. 52. “Going from high school and club to college is a big challenge,� Bastianelli said. “The club team I played for ran a slower tempo. The speed and learning how Kevin wants us to play was my biggest obstacle, but I’m working at it every day.� According to Hambly, both Bastianelli and Poulter are already showing signs of maturity and a strong level of communication on the court. He attributed their ability to be vocal with their comfort level with the veterans of the team. Now with their fi rst taste of competition behind them, Bastianelli and Poulter will have to wait another month

Dancer’s career highlighted by legends BY LUCAS WRIGHT STAFF WRITER
Becoming a Division I coach isn’t an easy thing to do without an impressive sports background. For some coaches, such as Illinois men’s tennis coach Brad Dancer, words on a résumé do not fully represent all that he has been a part of in the tennis world. Prior to professional coaching, Dancer pursued a tennis playing career. That pursuit wasn’t the bright spot of his career, he said. “I had pretty good speed, but I had a very bad forehand,” Dancer said. “The only thing I could do was run around and try to think my way out of a tennis match.” Despite his short-lived playing career, Dancer managed to garner an All-Big Ten selection and appear in an NCAA Championship doubles final in his senior year at Michigan State. Dancer played small money tournaments following his graduation from Michigan State, but never made an appearance on any professional tour. Only a year removed from college, Dancer began his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater. There he served as an assistant coach from 1993-98 while exploring other coaching options. During that time, he got an opportunity to work with Billy Jean King, one of tennis’
all-time greats. Dancer lived in Aspen, Colorado, at the time, and was already working with Martina Navratilova, another all-time great, who was close with King. Navratilova put Dancer in contact with King and Dancer assisted her when she was the head coach of the U.S. Fed Cup team. He said the time he spent working with King was one of the greatest experiences of his coaching career. “She was very patient with me as a young coach coming up through the ranks,” Dancer said. “She meant so much to me in just modeling her energy and enthusiasm about how she goes about everything.” Dancer’s connections to big names in the sport did not end at Navratilova and King. In 1998, he transitioned to coaching professional tennis for the Delaware Smash of World Team Tennis. He coached the team through 2004, although the season only lasted a few weeks during each summer. “There was something like 58 years of professional experience between four of our top players,” Dancer said. “It was nothing short of remarkable.” Along with the players that made up the bulk of the experience, such as Patrick

NFL awaits Big Ten’s elite talent

In
many ways, college football is a glorified farm system for the NFL. Outside of the common college football debates — which team should be ranked where, who should win the Heisman Trophy and which conference reigns supreme — a typical theme each season involves the status of the next NFL draft class. Though the Big Ten has a solid track record in procuring consistent NFL talent, now that the conference is in the process of restoring its national reputation, paying special attention to which players can bolster their own NFL futures will be critical to watch this season. Fans should look at the best players in the conference in a similar fashion to how investors follow the stock market; with an eye out for long-term growth as opposed to short-term gains. Any casual observer of the Big Ten will invariably notice the substantial depth among the conference’s quarterbacks. Cardale Jones, J.T. Barrett, Connor Cook and Christian Hackenberg will be competing as much for the title of best Big Ten quarterback as they are competing to impress NFL scouts. Since Michigan State and Ohio State are likely the top two contenders in the conference, it is fit-

RECRUITING depth. Like the Brunson and Evans recruitments, Simpson’s and Moore’s visits are staggered (though Simpson’s and Moore’s are farther apart.) Simpson visited this weekend and had high praise for Groce and Illi-
head coach in 2006. Over the last decade, Dancer has maintained the Illini’s status as a perennial powerhouse. Looking forward to what’s next in his career, Dancer said he didn’t know what was in store, but
that he doesn’t see himself leaving what he’s built. “People always ask what’s next, and for me it’s going to be here at Illinois.”

when Flaws was a freshman, and have communicated ever since. “She’s a stats girl,” Hurless said. “She always said that was a goal, to beat my record.” For Hurless, it was an emotional moment, “to say the least” when she presented the ball to Flaws. It was the first time that Hurless had walked onto the field – which she once dominated – since she graduated. And while breaking Hurless’ scoring record at Illinois could be seen as the icing on the cake of Flaws’ storied career, if you ask her coach, she isn’t done yet. “When she started scoring goals, you start doing the math, and you give her four years, 50 certainly wasn’t out of reach,” Rayfield said. “Who knows what that number is going to be by the time she finishes out.” Regardless of the end number, Flaws welcomes the recognition. “I want to get my name out there,” said Flaws. “I want to play after college.”
IOTW dard– a huge disappointment. For the redshirt senior, that season was a disaster and is partially what continues to motivate her to run up the scoring numbers and take advantage of every chance she gets. “I guess it meant something to me, but I was not very fond of that season,” Flaws said of her first collegiate goal. “I don’t know if I would call it a very proud moment, but it was definitely the start to my goal scoring here.” Flaws’ 2011 season was bracketed by her two torn ACLs — one in the Summer of 2010 and one in the Spring of 2012 — and marked the last time Flaws wasn’t the Illini’s star player. The record-breaking goal did mean something to Flaws. It was validation for just how far she had come. The celebration was also made special in part because Hurless was in attendance to present the game ball to Flaws after the match. The two scorers met back
ting that Jones, Barrett and Cook will be fighting to establish themselves as the top Big Ten quarterbacks heading into the 2016 draft. What makes Cook the surest bet is that the Spartan carries many of the intangibles needed to wow NFL teams desperate for stability at the position. In his two seasons as a starter, Cook can be best defined as a highly efficient quarterback who doesn’t turn the ball over and knows how to win. Consider that he has thrown for 46 touchdowns compared to 14 interceptions — about a 3:1 ratio — over his career and possesses a record of 23–3. At Ohio State, the choice of who starts at quarterback will have a major impact on the draft status of Jones and Barrett. The odd man out may opt to stay another season, while the starter will likely make the jump to the NFL. Jones may not be identified by the intangibles but by his size and arm strength. Both of these attributes were clearly on display in leading the Buckeyes to the national championship. Barrett may not have the downfield arm strength or the imposing size of his competitor, though his ability to make plays with
his legs makes him a solid dual-threat prospect. Given the current success of a player like Russell Wilson, he is a fascinating guy to watch in preparing for an NFL future. The biggest Big Ten quarterback mystery this season will be Hackenberg, especially in seeing if he can finally light it up as a college quarterback and morph into an elite draft prospect. Hackenberg has all the skills to do so; it is just a matter of him living up to the hype he brought to Penn State. Similar to Melvin Gordon of a season ago, Ezekiel Elliott not only represents the Big Ten’s best chance to take home the Heisman but also as one of the running backs with the highest professional ceiling. On the defensive side, the Big Ten has an immensely strong crop — especially on the D–line. In the quest to become the next great J.J. Watt– like destroyer of offensive game plans on Sundays, the battle to watch will be between Joey Bosa, Shilique Calhoun and Anthony Zettel. All three defensive standouts have the most potential to dominate at the next level of any players in the conference, so their season-long duel is more about positioning in
the first round of the draft than anything else. All the players mentioned above are already bona fide draft prospects, though this season is more about proving where each player may be drafted and how successful they may be as professionals. The biggest wildcard of any player in the Big Ten in terms of draft potential is quarterback-turnedwide receiver Braxton Miller. Due to a combination of his athleticism, speed and versatility, it would not be a surprise if he excels at the position — even becoming one of the team’s most potent options. With a strong campaign at receiver, Miller can easily become the next former college quarterback to be a productive receiver in the NFL: see Hines Ward, Julian Edelman or Antwaan Randle El. With the Big Ten once again in the discussion of elite college football conferences, it will be of greater importance to closely follow not only how the conference performs in nonconference games and during bowl season but how it performs in late April in Chicago. It’s not enough to rank conferences by national titles or bowl wins anymore. Nowadays, conferences are best judged by how many of its former players will be mentioned in NFL draft coverage — be it fantasy or reality.

weren’t on the team. The final findings are yet to be released. Thomas said he couldn’t comment on the ongoing investigation and failed to give more information on when Franczek Radelet would conclude their review. If Beckman were to sue the University, the school could claim it fired Beckman for cause. In section 4.2.d. of the contract he signed with the University in 2012, the University can fire Beckman for “any serious act of knowing misconduct by Head Coach.” The listed misconducts include “injuring, abusing, or endangering others, which in the sole reasonable judgment of the University substantially impairs Head Coach’s ability to provide effective leadership.” Beckman’s total compensation was scheduled to be $1.8 million with a base salary of $400,000. He received a $150,000 bonus because he retained his job beyond January 31. Since the University is claiming to have fired him with cause, the University “shall be without liability to the Head Coach, or any other penalty.” Illinois will not be liable of any base salary or any additional compensations that were included in his contract — if they are judged to have fired him with cause. Beckman and University administration could not be reached for comment with regards to a potential lawsuit. Thomas and the athletic department respectfully declined to comment on a potential lawsuit.
nois, while Moore is slated to visit the weekend of Sept. 25. And like Brunson and Evans were at the time, Simpson and Moore seem to be heavily considering other schools besides Illinois. Even though it hasn’t really paid off yet, playing time at the point guard position has always been one of Groce’s strongest points of leverage.
Most recruits want to play right away, which is why I think it’s unlikely that Groce has any shot of landing two top-100 point guards like Simpson and Moore in the same class. With Simpson’s visit in the rearview mirror, Groce will have to gauge his interest level in other schools, especially if he follows through with vis-
its to Wisconsin (a visit to Madison may be forthcoming) and Miami (Florida). Iowa State is also in the picture. Moore will visit California (Sept. 11) and Pittsburgh (Sept. 18) before he makes it to Champaign, with a visit to Memphis also scheduled for Oct. 2. So much could unfold in these next several weeks,
and Groce will have to have his finger pressed tight on the pulse of both recruitments. If Simpson and Moore both choose to go elsewhere, Groce will need to have a backup plan in place. Te’Jon Lucas out of Milwaukee is a potential fallback option. If Simpson or Moore eventually commit to Illi-

joffe2@dailyillini.com @Jonny_Joffe Friday, when he announced Beckman’s dismissal, he didn’t announce any updates in the women’s basketball and soccer investigations and lawsuits. The women’s basketball investigation found no wrongdoing by the coaching staff in early August. Seven former players filed a $10 million lawsuit against the University, naming head coach Matt Bollant, former assistant coach Matt Divilbiss and Thomas. Former soccer player Casey Conine filed a lawsuit against the University on June 8 over the mishandling of concussions that she suffered. “I think the culture in our Division of Intercollegiate Athletics is tremendous,” Thomas said during Friday’s press conference. “I believe in our coaches, staff and student-athletes who come to work every day and participate every day with integrity on their sleeves. It’s all about doing things the right way.” Despite the findings in the investigation, head football coach Bill Cubit said that he didn’t know about any of the allegations made against Beckman. The head coach said he didn’t think anyone on the staff was guilty of player mistreatment. “I don’t know that went on, I really don’t,” Cubit said. “That’s why you have trainers ... I think all our coaches are educated enough when they should send them (players) there if you suspect anything.” The Illini start the season Friday night against Kent State.

Sportmanship pledge required for K-State fans
Runners deal with different superstitions
Students must sign promising to show respect for all athletes BY KELLIS ROBINETT TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
M A NHATTA N, Kansas — Before Kansas State students can pick up their tickets to home sporting events this year, they have to sign a sportsmanship pledge in which they promise to “refrain from using profanity and inappropriate chants� and to “show respect for all participating student-athletes, coaches, fans and officials.� Any student found in violation of the sportsmanship pledge risks punishment from the school, including being removed from games and having their tickets taken away for the athletic year. The sportsmanship pledge is a first of its kind in the Big 12. K-State students and athletic administrators came up with the idea together, said Scott Garrett, K-State’s senior associate athletic director for external operations. They held several meetings on sportsmanship after K-State’s men’s basketball victory against Kansas last season at Bramlage Coliseum, where students loudly chanted inappropriate language during the game and stormed the court afterward. A student seemingly went out of his way to bump KU’s Jamari Traylor. Arena security failed to properly control the postgame celebration, which led to a reprimand from the conference and new Big 12 policies on the subject. Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby can now punish schools with fines and more serious measures if they lose control of future game-day atmospheres.

BY EMMA MCGOWEN STAFF WRITER
In his latest letter to K-State fans, athletic director John Currie praised the sportsmanship pledge, writing that sportsmanship has become a conference-wide emphasis. “We take sportsmanship very seriously,� he wrote, “and truly believe that our fans are the best in the country.� The hope is for them to be both vocal and respectful. “We don’t want to do anything to diminish the type of atmosphere that we have from a competitive standpoint,� Garrett said. “Our students make a very intimidating environment. We don’t want to take away from that. This is a way for us and for our students to take leadership. “There is a very vocal minority of people that don’t necessarily behave the right way all the time, but it reinforces for the ones that are positive that the culture at Kansas State is for our student fans to provide a positive atmosphere, not one that detracts from our national reputation.� Garrett said he has not heard any complaints from students about the pledge. “We had a student sportsmanship committee with leaders from all across campus,� Garrett said, “and they have really been pleased with how things came together. It has been positive.� Question is, how seriously will K-State enforce the sportsmanship pledge? When a student, or group of students, curses during a game, will they really be banned from football games for the remainder or the year? Will they be

Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder watches the action during the Wildcats’ spring football game at Sporting Park in Kansas City, April 25. issued a warning? What if the entire student section chants something inappropriate? The answer is to be determined. “We will deal with those on a case-by-case basis,� Garrett said. “That is no different from what we have had before. We have had ejections for students that consumed alcohol and were physically impaired. We have had ejections for students with profanity on their shirts. Sometimes they go through campus police, sometimes they go through the stu-
dent judicial system. “Basically, we don’t want to surprise anyone. Here are our expectations and here is what can happen if you don’t meet those expectations down the road. I hope we don’t have to do that. That wasn’t the intent of making them sign this pledge. Our students are prepared to take ownership of really providing a competitive environment without modifying the game-day experience. They are committed to helping us reinforce that positive culture.�
Athletes are superstitious. For some athletes, the entire day prior to their event can be determined by their beliefs about what does and doesn’t work for them. But where is the line between superstition and ritual drawn? A ritual, something someone will do consistently before an event, does not become a superstition until that person believes that by completing the ritual, they will win the game or meet. Ian Barnett, senior on the Illinois men’s crosscountry team, doesn’t have any superstitions. He believes that all the hard word he puts in will help him race well, but he does typically watch a “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit� marathon in the hotel before the race — if it’s on TV. A ritual doesn’t have to be something extra, however. It could be an athlete just going through their typical pre-event routine of stretching or relaxing. That’s what junior Sean Pengelly does. While some might roll their eyes when they hear someone singing their favorite pump-up music to themselves before gametime, there’s no doubt that completing these rituals or superstitions brings a certain level of calm to athletes before a competition, and for regular people, before they start their days.

ning careers. Finding the shoe that works best can sometimes be hit or miss. Some runners need extra support, others prefer to wear a lighter shoe versus one that could weigh them down, it’s a matter of personal preference and perspective. For Pengelly, the physical build of the shoes and their visual appeal make Nike his favorite. “They are great for a distance runner,� he said. “Especially the structure-type shoe for someone like me who needs the extra support over the long mileage weeks.� Just like car ties, running shoes start to go bad and lose their tread and structure after they get used for so many miles, which is why it isn’t uncommon for runners to have multiple pairs of shoes for different types of workouts or to alternate which shoes they wear. There is no standard rule, however, once more, it’s up to the runner and what feels comfortable for them. Junior Dylan Lafond currently owns three pairs of shoes; Nike Pegasus 31 for his every day runs, Nike Lunar Racer 3 for workouts, and Nike Mutumbo Elite shoes for racing, which he runs 350-400 miles in before he gets a new pair. On the other hand, Pengelly has a “‘junk’ pair of training shoes, a pair of training flats, a pair of racing flats (for roads, tracks, and even-footed cross country courses), track spikes (for faster track events or flat-footed, fast cross-country courses) and a pair of cross-country spikes.�
