Today in 1992

The university’s Aikido club may be the oldest practicing campus martial arts club, but its legacy isn’t the only aspect that helps it stand out.

John Flowers, club president and graduate student in philosophy from Chicago, said Aikido is an authentic Japanese martial art focused on non-violence.

“I view Aikido as a non-violent way to avoid con!ict,” he said.

Brian Stan"eld, Aikido head instructor and graduate student in Philosophy from Indianola, Iowa, said the club started 30 years ago when the campus experienced an increase in rape incidents.

“It started o# as a way for women to protect themselves,” he said. “It serves for someone who might not be as strong or as big as their aggressor.”

Aikido also teaches self-con"dence, emotional maturity and physical !exibility, according to the club’s information !ier. Training involves two partners who, rather than "ghting freestyle, practice pre-arranged forms where the move’s receiver initiates an attack against the thrower, who neutralizes it with an Aikido technique.

Stan"eld said the club accepts both students and other Recreation Center members at any skill level.

“We don’t expect people to know what we are teaching,” Stan"eld

said. “$e club is a very much an instructional club.”

Aikido differs from other martial arts because it’s not competitive, he said.

“It is kind of a thinking person’s martial art form,” Stan"eld said. “It’s starting and ending point is to protect yourself.”

$e club is nationally a%liated, Stan"eld said, and every instructor is certi"ed.

Rob Gallegly, an Aikido instructor, said his Aikido club involvement

goes back 16 years, and he has taught 11 years.

“When I "rst started, people spent a lot of time and energy on me,” Gallegly said. “$is is my way of keeping it up.”

Gallegly said the Aikido club teaches "tness, self-perfection and physical limitations.

“To me, Aikido is the ultimate con!ict resolution, whether that be conversational or defensive,” he said.

$e focus on attack neutralization rather than being the aggressor

sets Aikido apart from every other martial art, Flowers said.

“Aikido translates harmonious energy from the attacker to the suppressor,” he said.

Aikido gives Flowers a less aggressive way to "ght and is di#erent than other martial art forms he has practiced.

“I genuinely enjoy martial arts, and I want to expose everyone I can to Aikido’s philosophy,” he said. “It gives them a way to resolve con!ict in daily life.”

Aikido gives people peace of mind, as well as a di#erent way to look at con!ict, he said. Aikido also applies to all types of people, regardless of body type or personality.

“People often think they cannot do martial arts because they are not strong or fast enough, but with Aikido it’s about applying technique,” Flowers said.

Registered Student Organization Aikido members John Bradley, front left, and Ian Kong, front right, practice the Japanese martial art moves Tuesday at the Recreation Center. John Flowers, Aikido president, said the sport involves flowing movements and energy redirection. “It teaches you a different way to resolve fights and resolve conflict without resorting to simply hitting someone,” he said.

An Undergraduate Student Government Senator addressed Registered Student Organization participation in council meetings during the group’s !rst semester meeting Tuesday.

Adrian Miller, a sophomore from Carbondale studying political science and a USG Senator, noted the lack of RSO presence at USG meetings.

“(RSOs) come to us and get money, but we don’t require anything in return from them,” Miller said. “Why don’t we hear from them? We are their governing body.”

"e USG formed a new committee to oversee student government presence on campus and RSO participation in the group’s biweekly meetings. "e committee has yet to be named, but senators intend to !nalize its details and members during their Feb. 5 meeting.

Brittany Greathouse, USG president

and sophomore from Bolingbrook studying accounting, addressed RSO attendance ways USG could gain RSO interest in a text message. She said USG’s advisory board is working to make online RSO event posting mandatory.

“RSOs are not required to attend our meetings, but we would like them to update us on their events going on so we can let the students know,” she said.

Other discussed topics include keeping monthly senator reports mandatory as a way to stay informed about the status of each senator’s college. USG members also intended to address misappropriated funds by the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, but the group was not present Tuesday so the topic was tabled until the next meeting.

"e Graduate and Professional Student Council debated a possible campus-wide smoke ban during their !rst semester meeting Tuesday.

GPSC President Blaine Tisdale said the campus Smoke-Free Task Force, an organization he recently attended a January budget meeting for, debated a ban similar to one in place at the University of Illinois — a policy which prohibits smoking within 15 feet of a campus building.

“When I sat down in the meeting, it was not a question of if, but a question of how or when,” Tisdale said.

GPSC also considered complete campus ashtray removal. Some members suggested a complete smoke ban would be unrealistic to enforce.

“One of the arguments the Chancellor made was that it would increase enrollment,” Tisdale said. “Potential students will look at the ban and be encouraged to come here.”

"e Smoke-Free Task Force plans to propose a ban to Chancellor Rita Cheng in April, Tisdale said.

GPSC Vice President for Graduate

School Affairs Brooke Talley addressed the Chancellor’ Campus Life and Safety Task Force presentation at the graduate council. Recent crime data reported SIU has the second highest crime rate among universities after Western Illinois University, she said.

Potential student fees also reached GPSC deliberation.

GPSC members discussed reasons why student fees need to be increased, and how the fees may or may not a#ect graduate students.

Peter Lucas, GPSC vice president for administrative a#airs, said one potential fee involves a student-optional, more inclusive insurance plan. Students would pay more fees, but the insurance would cover emergencies and serious illness more thoroughly than university insurance does now, he said.

“I am all for the real insurance,” Lucas said. “I would not mind paying more for insurance and having more options.”

HOUSTON — A second suspect may emerge in the aftermath of the shooting at a Houston-area community college that left three people injured, the Harris County sheri! said Wednesday.

At least 10 shots were "red Tuesday during a dispute between two men outside the library at the North Harris campus of Lone Star College, Sheri! Adrian Garcia said. Authorities were still looking for the handgun that was used.

Carlton Berry, 22, is charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Garcia o!ered no additional details on the role of a possible second suspect. He said investigators were trying to determine what caused the argument, adding that the dispute was “idiocy, stupidity.”

“We had individuals who did not care about putting other people in harm’s way,” he said at an afternoon news conference. “It was a ridiculous, adolescent confrontation that occurred.”

Berry was injured in the incident and is under police supervision at a Houston hospital, Garcia said. Investigators were still trying to determine how he was wounded.

Berry had a Lone Star College ID but it was unclear whether he was enrolled at the school, Garcia said. Court records did not list an attorney for Berry.

Garcia said the two other people wounded in the shooting were recovering. Jody Neal, 25, with whom Berry was arguing, was shot in the abdomen and leg. Neal was pursuing his GED. Charges were not expected to be "led against Neal, as o#cials said Berry was the only one with a weapon.

A maintenance worker for the college,

55-year-old Bobby Cliburn, was standing nearby and was shot in the leg. Sheri!’s o#cials corrected his age, which was reported earlier as 69.

A woman whose name has not been released also received medical treatment. It was initially believed she su!ered a heart attack, but Garcia said she was treated for an anxiety attack.

Berry is scheduled for a court hearing $ursday, which could be delayed because of his medical condition, o#cials said. He faces a total bond of $60,000.

$e volley of gunshots around noon Tuesday at the college, located in north Houston, prompted a lockdown then evacuation of the campus. Students were allowed to return to campus and retrieve their vehicles later Tuesday. Classes at the campus resumed Wednesday.

Steve Head, president of the college campus, said at the news conference that employees and students who returned to school Wednesday had questions and were a bit jittery, but he said overall it was a “good day.”

“$e students are concerned but we are trying to emphasize that this is an isolated incident,” he said.

Head said the school was reviewing its procedures, including whether the campus alert system noti"ed people as quickly as possible.

Clinton talks Lybiaattack with lawmakersAssociated Press

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered !ery rejoinders Wednesday to Republican critics of the Obama administration’s handling of the deadly attack on a U.S. mission in Benghazi, facing o" with lawmakers.

At times emotional and frequently combative, Clinton rejected GOP suggestions in two congressional hearings that the administration tried to mislead the country about the Sept. 11 attack that killed Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans. She insisted the State Department is moving swiftly and aggressively to strengthen security at diplomatic posts worldwide.

In her last formal testimony before Congress as America’s top diplomat — but perhaps not her last time on the political stage — Clinton once again took responsibility for the department’s missteps and failures leading up to the assault. But she also said that requests for more security at the diplomatic mission in Benghazi didn’t reach her desk, and reminded lawmakers that they have a responsibility to fund security-related budget requests.

#ree weeks after her release from a New York hospital — admitted for complications after a concussion — Clinton was at times de!ant, complimentary and willing to chastise lawmakers during more than 5 $ hours of testimony before two separate committees. She tangled with some who

could be rivals in 2016 if she decides to seek the presidency again.

Her voice cracking at one point, Clinton said the attack and the aftermath were highly personal tragedies for the families of the victims who died — Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty — as well as herself.

“I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried those %ag-draped caskets o" the plane at Andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters and the wives left alone to raise their children,” she told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a packed hearing.

Clearly annoyed with Republican complaints about the initial explanation for the attack, she rose to the defense of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who was vili!ed for widely debunked claims !ve days after the attack that protests precipitated the raid rather than terrorism.

Clinton said, “People were trying in real time to get to the best information.” And she said her own focus was on looking ahead on how to improve security rather than revisiting the talking points and Rice’s comments.

Her testimony followed more than three months of Republican charges that the Obama administration ignored signs of a deteriorating security situation and cast an act of terrorism as mere protests over an anti-Muslim video in the heat of a presidential election. U.S. o&cials suspect that militants linked to al-Qaida carried out the attack.

Chimpanzees who have spent their lives in U.S. research labs being prodded, poked and tested may be headed for retirement in a leafy sanctuary where they can climb trees, socialize at will, play with toys and even listen to music.

More than 300 chimpanzees should be retired from government-funded research and sent to live in a sprawling refuge out!tted with play areas under a recommendation approved Tuesday by a top national panel of scientists.

#e proposal from a National Institutes of Health committee is the latest step in a gradual shift away from using chimps as test subjects, because of technological advances and because of ethical concerns about their close relation to humans. It would a"ect all but 50 of more than 350 chimpanzees in labs around the country. #e remaining group kept for future federally funded research would have to be housed in spacious conditions laid down in the detail by the committee.

#e NIH Council of Councils Working Group proposal, which will go to the agency’s director after a 60-day period for public comment, also calls for major cuts in grants to study chimps in laboratories and no return to breeding them for research.

#e chimpanzees would be sent to a national sanctuary, Chimp Haven,

that opened in 2005 to house former federal research chimps on a 200-acre site in rural northwest Louisiana.

Under an agreement made late last year, before the proposal, nine chimpanzees arrived Tuesday at Chimp Haven from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s New Iberia Research Center, which no longer has an NIH chimp research contract. Seven more are expected #ursday and another 95 will arrive over the coming months, sanctuary o&cials said.

After decades of being taken from cages to be poked and prodded, they’ll be part of larger social groups with changing access to forest habitats, play yards, courtyards and jungle gyms.

#ey’ll get a daily assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables along with their nutritionally balanced biscuits. #ey’ll have toys to play with, from balls and backpacks to anything else that’s safe and might amuse them — one Christmas, they got donated books — and even concerts. Drummers and other musicians have been brought in to play for them, and administrative associate Steve Snodgrass sometimes plays “lyrical” Irish !ddle tunes.

“#ey’re very attentive. #ey are calm, and it seems to soothe them,” he said Wednesday.

#e animals that arrived Tuesday — eight females and a male between ages 29 and 52 — made up one group housed together at New Iberia, and those scheduled #ursday made up another such social group, said Chimp

Haven spokeswoman Ashley Gordon. #ey include a 2-year-old female and 3-year-old male born in New Iberia and coming with their mothers.

Once their quarantine period is over and the sanctuary’s behaviorist and veterinary sta" have had a chance to get to know them, they’ll be put in a “howdy” — a fenced-o" part of a larger living area — to become acquainted with the group that seems the best match for them. Once they seem to be getting along well across the barrier, it will be removed.

#e federal agency said in 2011 that it would phase out most invasive research on chimpanzees because advances in science have made most such studies unnecessary and, as director Francis Collins put it, the great apes’ similarity to people “demands special consideration and respect.”

#e new 86-page recommendation describes how chimpanzees should be kept and what will be needed for any future research. Chimps should be used only if there is no other way to study a threat to human health, and the research should be approved by an independent committee with members from the public, said the Council of Councils.

Animal-rights activists’ said they were pleased by the recommendations.

“At last, our federal government understands: A chimpanzee should no more live in a laboratory than a human should live in a phone booth,” the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said in a statement.

Research chimps may be headed from lab to leisure

From aviation weather dispatch to stocked salad bar maintenance in Grinnell Hall, the university o!ers a wide variety of student jobs to suit almost every interest.

Campus employers post an average 20 job opportunities on the university’s "nancial aid website, which can help students "nd jobs he or she might enjoy.

Mike Bacha, a junior from Palatine studying aviation #ight and management, works as the weather dispatch for the Southern Illinois Airport in Murphysboro.

Bacha said his job at the airport helps him make connections with other students and pilots in and out of state.

“$ere are a good amount of jobs o!ered at the airport aimed toward aviation students so that we can have

hands-on experience before we graduate,” he said.

Jillian Luensman, a sophomore from Troy studying zoology, said it’s nice to have a student work position at Grinnell Hall because student housing helps and works around my class schedule.

“I work about two days this semester, and it works well with my classes so that I have some nights to catch up on studying,” Luensman said.

Alex Richards, a graduate student in automotive technology from Joliet, is a lab assistant at the new Transportation Education Center (TEC) and is also a graduate assistant while he helps teach and assemble demos for the automotive classes.

“I’d like to eventually teach so before I was a grad student, I was a student worker and they allowed me to "ll in and help teach the classes,” Richards said.

A study for a possible southern Illinois interstate has metropolitan representatives salivating and environmentalists sweating.

!e study is for proposed Interstate 66, which would run through southernmost Illinois from Paducah, Ky., to Cape Girardeau, Mo. With a $3.5 million grant from the federal government and a 20 percent match from the Illinois Department of Transportation, the $4.5 million study will begin by February or March and last around three years, said Carrie Nelsen, district 9 program development engineer for IDOT.

!e feasibility study’s goal is to determine where the interstate would best be placed, and counties taken under consideration include Alexander, Johnson, Massac, Pulaski and Union.

According to IDOT’s website, the road should open economic development opportunities; improve accessibility to employment, higher education, retail/shopping and medical services; increase Shawnee National Forest tourism; improve highway safety to traveling public; and reduce travel time and vehicle operating costs between Paducah and Cape.

Elaine Spalding, president of the Paducah Chamber of Commerce, said the interstate is needed so the two cities can be connected by an east/west route.

“!ere’s just no good way to get from Paducah to Cape Girardeau right now,” she said. “Some people take the northern route, some take the southern, and it’s just a really lengthy drive either way you go. !is will link our communities so we can have more business-to-business and business-to-consumer tra"c ... and continue to promote the entire region.”

Representatives from Cape Girardeau, Paducah and IDOT say the interstate could greatly enhance economic development not only in the metropolitan cities but also in southern Illinois. !ey say it will generate road construction

employment, and businesses will pop up on the route’s outskirts.

However, some southern Illinoisans argue that the area’s already struggling economy will su#er more when chain restaurants and gas stations take away from local businesses.

Others are concerned the interstate will impact important natural resources such as the Shawnee National Forest and the Cache River Wetlands. Because of their importance to migratory waterfowl and shorebirds, the wetlands, speci$cally, are designated Wetlands of National Importance — only one of 22 in the nation, according to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. !e area contains more than 100 threatened and endangered species.

As required by the National Environmental Protection Act, though, the study will determine what sort of e#ect the project would have on the environment and if any damage could be avoided. A no-build option must also be included in the alternatives.

John Mehner, president and CEO of the Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce, said the concept for the road has been around since the late ’80s, and it’s becoming a necessity for Cape Girardeau and Paducah.

“!ere’s a lot of things that needed to occur over time with the increase in truck tra"c and just traveling people,” he said. “We need to look at interstate connectivity, and this would be an excellent piece.”

Cape Girardeau Mayor Harry Rediger said the most bene$cial route for his city would be for the project to connect between Interstate 24 and Cape’s bridge. He said the road would promote tourism, but it will more importantly help the city’s industrial base.

!at’s what worries Dave Sha#er, a resident just south of Jonesboro who lives on a 140-acre farm he converted

into a wildlife habitat, including wetlands, grass prairie, natural woods, trails, bridges and creeks.

He said he’s very concerned the interstate will increase revenue to Cape and Paducah but take away from the smaller towns in between.

“!ey end up with an isolation situation where the highway skirts around (small towns) and all the potential business is taken out of the cities,” Sha#er said. “We’re giving up a lot of our ability to develop revenue, and we’re sending it all to either Paducah or Cape Girardeau.”

Jonesboro has mostly grocery stores and lumberyards to o#er, he said.

Sha#er said the interstate could put more people in poverty.

“!ey’re going to export our jobs, export our businesses, and we’re not going to have much left after that interstate goes through,” Sha#er said.

A 2005 study funded by the National Science Foundation found that interstate developments through rural counties bring minimal economic growth. Industry growth is mostly limited to new gas stations and grocery stores, according to the study, and there could be an increase in retirees and commuters who move to the area.

!e road would also diminish Illinois gas and cigarette sales, he said, as drivers would be able to get to Missouri quicker, where those products are cheaper.

Jim Maginel, a timber farmer in Olive Branch, said he is concerned for the region’s agricultural system because farming is Alexander County’s main business.

“My biggest fear ... is what it would do to the entire area because it would involve many acres and potentially many farms,” he said.

Rediger said the areas being studied have very sparse populations, though,

and the study’s point is to determine which route would be least intrusive and most bene$cial to everyone.

!ere will also be public meetings for citizens to voice their opinions and a website with information for the public to review, Nelsen said.

Illinois originally rejected the corridor idea in 1996 because of its possible e#ect on natural resources. However, the interstate is part of the greater East-West Transamerica Corridor, which is planned to begin in San Diego and end in Norfolk, Va., and in 2003, Illinois joined the study.

“Kentucky found di"culties crossing the Mississippi River in any of their locations that they desired,” Nelsen said. “!at throws it back to

Illinois, which we could utilize existing structures.”

She said the Ohio River could be crossed on the I-24 bridge, and the Mississippi River could be crossed at the Cape Girardeau bridge. !e study could consider building a new bridge as well, Nelsen said, but that would be very costly to the project.

No matter where the interstate would be placed, though, Matt Whiles, a full professor of zoology at SIU, said he thinks it would be impossible to avoid natural resources.

Whiles, who is director of the Center for Ecology at SIU, has been studying the Cache River for about a decade. He said the interstate’s main issue is that it would fragment habitats in the Shawnee and Cache. !ere would be isolated populations on each side of the road, which would result in a decrease of genetic diversity, he said, and road mortalities would occur when animals try to cross the interstate.

“Certainly, I would think anybody who looks at the region would consider this an ecologically sensitive area, and I would hope that would be taken into

consideration,” he said.Both Whiles and Terri Treacy from

the Sierra Club Illinois chapter — a national organization dedicated to protecting the planet — agreed the interstate would contribute to noise and air pollution as well. Treacy said noise pollution could hurt tourism because many people visit the natural resources to hunt, $sh, hike, canoe and camp.

“I just can’t imagine a hunter sitting in a tree stand trying to listen for a deer creeping through the woods and having the background noise of interstate highway to contend with,” she said.

Treacy is also a part of Citizens for Southernmost Illinois, a group dedicated to educating others about the project’s possible e#ects.

Nelsen said IDOT will work very closely with groups such as CSI to meet their needs.

“We’ll try to identify people and work very closely with them to minimize any negative impacts,” she said. “Going through the Cache River wetland isn’t going to be an ideal situation for a road to begin with. We’re not going to be building in a wetland; that would be detrimental to the project.”

Spalding said she’s been assured there will be minimal impact to the environment. She said the possibility of using existing highways in Illinois will reduce the e#ects on natural resources.

“So the real beauty is that they (could) use already existing highways and just improve those roads so they meet the interstate regulations for access to the highway,” Spalding said.

Paducah has collaborated with Cape Girardeau for many years to make this road happen, Spalding said, so she’s very excited it might become a reality.

“We know it’s still a long-term proposition,” she said. “Like any major new infrastructure development, you’ve got to get started on it now so it’ll be here for our children and grandchildren in the future.”

tasks.Shortly after the crew eats an eggs, rice, black beans and cornbread

breakfast, they unload cameras, lighting equipment, heaters and tents from the trucks. After the equipment is set up, Eric Maddison, the !lm’s director of photography, sits in a cart attached to a dolly. He holds the camera and focuses on Jacqueline, the !lm’s main character, who stands alone on the trail.

Maddison counts down: “"ree, two, one,” and a long day of “Dig” !lming has o#cially begun.

"is is the typical day on set for the !lm, whose shot locations include areas all around Southern Illinois such as the Cache River’s Cypress Swamps, Shawnee National Forest and the Kuykendall Home in Vienna. Filming started Jan. 5 and is scheduled to wrap up near the moth’s end, when the post production process will begin.

Networks fight to keep up with cable

A young woman, covered head to toe in Edgar Allen Poe prose, disrobes as police o!cers and FBI agents scream at her to stop.

“Help my poor soul,” she says repeatedly, as she brings a knife up to her face. As cops begin to move in on her, she plunges the knife into her eye.

"is is Fox’s “"e Following,” and this scene occurs within the pilot’s #rst #fteen minutes.

As network television plays catch up with their cable competitors, even innocuous channels have to increase the heat to attract viewers. Fox has always pushed the envelope, but Monday’s “Following” premiere raised the bar. "e show concerns former FBI agent Ryan Hardy, an alcoholic loner who is called in to track escaped serial killer Joe Carroll. Hardy put Carroll away years ago, and he quickly learns Carroll’s new plans involve brainwashed disciples, a method eerily similar to Charles Manson’s patterns.

Networks may be desperate to produce Emmy-worthy content, and violence similar to “"e Following” seemed to rule the top categories. Nominees “Breaking Bad,” “Game of "rones,” and “Boardwalk Empire” all feature heavy violence. Critically acclaimed cable series “Dexter,” “Homeland,” and “"e Walking Dead” all have premises involving death and destruction. Yet these series get the attention come Emmy time, because their loose cable limits allow gritty realism to seep in. Last year’s Emmy Awards recognized six drama series as top contenders, and PBS’ “Downton Abbey” was the only non-cable drama.

Yes, some cable dramas often border the absurd — “Homeland” struggled with over-the-top plots last season, while its’ #rst season was rather grounded — but as the envelope is pushed, cable provides viewers unique storylines that blur the typical good vs. evil line.

Fox knows their competition. But because of FCC censors, they must approach the line without crossing it. Fox is home to “Family Guy” and the now defunct “24,” so they are no stranger to controversy. I squirmed like never before while I watched “"e Following,” but it

was still an amazing pilot. "e show would be more suited for Showtime.

"e violence issue lingers as the nation reels in the Sandy Hook massacre aftermath. Do we show too much? Do we, as a country, fetishize violence? “"e Following” has unfortunate timing— it is the #rst violent show to premiere post-Newtown. Could the story be told without the gratuitous violence?

Probably. But it certainly wouldn’t have the same impact.

Networks argue they must do something to stop the ratings drop. Bland comedies such as “Animal Hospital” just won’t cut it. But it’s a vicious circle — increase the violence, and people may complain the gore a$ects children. Why one would let their children stay awake late enough to see a woman stab her eye out is beyond me, but that’s a tough topic, one I’m probably not quali#ed enough to expand on. It deserves a completely di$erent article.

Ratings don’t lie. “CSI,” a show one can depend on to be bloody and dark, is such a consistent performer that CBS aired the original and two spino$s for quite some time. As long as these shows perform well, networks will continue to greenlight them.

“Dexter” is my favorite show, but even I’ll admit the show has gone too far several times. I enjoy it because the writing feels free. You can tell the writer was given ample elbow room to construct a plot and pose the tough questions.

Yes, some inventive plots delve into the grotesque, but the best shows force audiences to consider the plot’s implications. Can you condone Dexter, a serial killer who only kills rapists and other murderers? Can you condone “Breaking Bad”’s Walter White, a meth dealer who is close to death and cooks to support his family (at least, at #rst)?

What compels you to follow Joe Carroll, a college professor who murdered fourteen female students in the name of art?

Yes, the boundaries have been stretched. But it is these terrifying new concepts that create television’s most unique monsters. In the end, when these networks compete, and if you can stomach it, the audience is the ultimate winner.

What is fashion good for, beyond !lling land!lls with retrospectively horrifying stirrup pants and giant shoulder pads and cartoonish platform shoes and highly questionable (on anyone over the age of 8) crop tops and Madonna’s old lace hair bows? Why do we put up with it?

And, more to the point, what new catastrophe is it conspiring to foist o" on us in the new year? Will it once again manage to !ll our closets with more clothes we’ll hardly ever wear?

#e Conde Nast (Vogue, Glamour, Self, W, etc.) website Style.com seems to be on the same vaguely disgruntled wavelength. (Check it out if you don’t believe me: www.style.com/trendsshopping/inthemoodfor/010213_New_Year_New_You.)

SAVE MONEY And let the vet help keep your pet healthy

Gina SpadaforiDr. Marty Becker

New tax may impact vet costs

January 24 - 27, 2013 15

Danny Goldring (“!e Dark Knight”, “!e Fugitive”) and Ted Levine (“Silence of the Lambs”, “Shutter Island”) lead the "lm’s cast. !e suspense thriller is based on an old

Confucian proverb that warns those who seek after revenge had better dig two graves.

!e story of the movie focuses on a young girl named Jacqueline, who is often to referred to by her brother as

“Jake,” as she is caught in an ethical dilemma proposed by three moonshiners; take the life of one person to bring back

to life a dead loved one. Adams said Jacqueline’s ethical dilemma is what compelled

him most when he wrote the script. Having a child in a position where he or she has to make an adult decision where

the lines aren’t black and white is the con#ict of the "lm, he said.

“(!e Film raises the question) What are you willing to do to save your family?” he said.

!e "lmmaking process has lasted a few years, Adams said. !e process included getting the movie’s script approved

by the Independent Film Project, scouting shot locations, casting and "nally "lming.

To capture the dark-gritty world Adams envisions, Maddison said he is in charge of "xing scenes’ color, tone,

mood and lighting to the director’s liking. Maddison said the "lm’s picture says as much as the dialogue.

“I need to have an idea of what a scene would need to tell in a visual sentence,” he said.

Phil Plowden, one of the "lm’s associate producers, said the camera Phil uses is the Red Epic. According to red.com, the

camera company’s website, the camera is capable of shooting 1-120 frames per second at full resolution. It is extremely

fast and makes it easier to change the "lm’s lighting and tone during the post production stage, according to the website.

It makes "lm images appear crisper, is good for challenging lighting situations and easy to carry, Plowden said.

“It’s a great piece of equipment,” he said. “It has been used by "lmmakers like Peter Jackson (‘!e Lord of !e Rings’,

‘!e Hobbit’) quite a bit.”

“I need to have an idea of what a scene would need to tell in a visual sentence.

Minutes: 60 Servings: 6 - 8Chili Amore

!is chili variation started as a recipe from my dad, and I elaborated on it. !e di"erence between the two is that I added ground cinnamon, brown sugar, hot sauce and worcestershire sauce, and I served the meat dish over pasta to make it a chili-mac dish. Now if you would like ‘Chillie,’ as my dad lovingly wrote in my book, just omit the four ingredients I marked with an asterisk. Chili Amore is named so because of its taste. Just like love it starts o" sweet, and the ingredients’ textures excite the diner before they receive a little love tap of spice.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef or venison1 cup chopped onion1/2 cup chopped green pepper2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed1 (16 oz) can diced tomatos1 (16 oz) can red kidney beans1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce1 (6 oz) can tomato paste4 teaspoons chili powder1/2 teaspoon crushed dried basil1/4 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon black pepper1/4 teaspoon or to taste crushed red pepper***1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon*2-3 teaspoons brown sugar for beef; 1-2 for venison**

*1 tablespoon hot sauce*1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce*1 box of medium size pastaShredded cheese of choice, to taste (optional)

**Notes on the ingredients

My family uses our own crushed red pepper; we dry out our chilies and crush them with a food processor. !ese red pepper #akes have a stronger #avor than most store bought brands. You also do not need the whole 1/4 teaspoon or any at all.

!e brown sugar amount varies based on two factors: personal preference and meat choice. It is lower for venison because that meat is naturally sweet.

If doubling the recipe, double all ingredients except the tomato sauce.

Cook ground meat with onions and green peppers until it is brown over medium-high heat. Drain fat.

Stir in remaining ingredients, starting with canned ingredients then everything else over medium heat. Let it bubble, then reduce the temperature to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until pasta is done.

If cooking pasta, prepare according to package directions immediately after covering the chili.

***Cost was based on six servings and the shredded cheese was not factored in. Ingredients considered a pantry “staples” (soups/broths, #our, sugar, spices, brown sugar, eggs, milk and olive oil,) were not factored into the cost.

To remove garlic peel, crush clove with palm of hand against counter or work surface. Using a large knife and pounding on the #at side of it will produce the same e"ect. Crushing your garlic releases its oils and makes the #avor a bit stronger and also allows you to remove any green shoots that would give o" a mild bitter taste.

!e Saluki men’s basketball team snapped a "ve-game losing streak in an impressive upset of Indiana State 76-71, Jan. 12 in the SIU Arena. SIU dropped the last two games since its win over the Sycamores and need to make adjustments to win in the conference.

With the conference schedule nearly halfway complete, Missouri Valley teams have realized how to best strategize for SIU — feed the ball into the post. With junior forward Davante Drinkard seeing less play time recently, the tallest Saluki player on the court is usually 6-foot-5 junior guard Desmar Jackson.

!e team’s best post scorer, by far, is sophomore forward Dantiel Daniels. !e post man holds the team’s highest shooting percentage at 66 percent and is one of four Salukis to average double-digit points on the year. However, he lacks superior size at 6-foot-5, and larger opposition such as Illinois State’s 6-foot-9 forward Jackie Carmichael has taken better advantage of the size di#erence.

In the Salukis’ last three conference losses, they have been outrebounded by 22.

Senior guard Je# Early has rebounded terri"cally this season and is the team’s second scoring option (13.2). Early’s e#ort on the glass has also risen as the competition level increased. !e senior hybrid guard has led the team’s rebounds in "ve of the last seven conference games.

If the Salukis intend to improve their conference record, someone other than Early must step up and grab rebounds. Jackson has pulled down more than six rebounds per game, but he could average close to eight with his size. Daniels has yet to recover from an ankle injury and hasn’t shown the same productivity on the rebounding end as he did in his freshman season. 6-foot-9 Drinkard hasn’t been e#ective on either end of the court this year and coach Barry Hinson has started to run a much quicker and smaller line up.

During a proli"c run in the second half ‘s opening minutes against ISU on Sunday, SIU climbed to within 11 points of the Redbirds who led 49-21 at halftime. !e switch from a primarily man-to-man defense to a zone press seemed to throw ISU o# guard. O#ensively, Illinois State only scored "ve points in the second half’s "rst 10 minutes.

If Hinson switches his defensive looks at opportune times, he may be able to get the most from his smaller team.

Salukis prepare towin down the stretch

Golf team adds 3to fall season roster

0(1·6�%$6.(7%$//

Adding talent is necessary to stay competitive in college athletics, so it’s no surprise to see SIU’s womens golf team actively recruiting prospective talent.

!is fall will highlight incoming players Kris Grimes, Brooke Cusumano and Kristie Yang.

Grimes is the "rst African-American golfer in SIU history, but she said she is no stranger to breaking racial barriers.

“It kind of shocked me at "rst,” Grimes said. “!en again I was the "rst one at my community college as well. It’s an honor to be the "rst. I hope I can do it some justice.”

Grimes was a two-time All-American at College of the Canyons. She had a career 75.8 scoring average in her junior college career and won the California Junior State Championship as a freshman.

“I think she is going to be very successful,” coach Alexis Mihelich said. “She hits a long-way o# the tee and hits it hard. She is really strong, cuts it underneath the wind on her tees. And she loves to putt. Combine the length and putting and she is going to be a player who can score really well.”

Yang is a four-time All-American

from Diamond Bar High School, where she was the captain for two of her four high school years.

Coach Mihelich has been successful in recruiting from the sunshine state, as Grimes, Yang, and current SIU freshman Amy Lee are all recruits from the state.

“California is the strongest state with junior golf,” coach Mihelich said. “Geographically they get to play all year round. !ey have a little more experience than the Midwestern players because (midwest players) have to take three or four months o#, so the level of development is more re"ned. So it only makes sense for me to recruit out of California.”

Cusumano, the third golf team fall recruit, won two consecutive state titles in her "nal years of high school. She also was named an All-Metro Girls Player of the Year.

“I’m really excited. I feel like we have a chance to win conference,” junior golfer Cassie Rushing said. “I really think we are getting some

great transfers coming in who will transfer their skills from their high school play.”

SIU is no stranger to recruiting strong high school talent. Twin sisters Cassie and Ashleigh Rushing are highly awarded local talent out of Marion High School. Cassie was All-conference and named MVP for all four years in high school and continued her success at SIU as she led the Salukis in scoring average for back-to-back seasons.

Ashleigh holds the Marion High School record for 9 holes, scoring a 30 on a par 36. She also has National Golf Coaches Association. Academic All-American awards for 08-09 and 10-11 seasons. Both sisters made the deans list in fall 2011.

!e Salukis resume play Mar. 11 at the Jackrabbit Invitational in Primm, Nevada.

The National Basketball Association will hold its annual all-star game in Houston on February 17, in which the league’s best players are chosen to represent their respective conferences. Fans vote on which players comprise the team, and the !rst team all-star starters include Kobe Bryant, Lebron James and Kevin Durant. Spots are still open on both teams, so which players do you expect the fans to vote onto the teams?

I would have to say that Bulls Center Joakim Noah should be selected to the front court position. Noah averaged more rebounds and assists than front court starter Kevin Garnett and should be a lock for the All-Star game. The Bulls big man is playing one of his career’s best seasons, and that is all without the NBA’s former most valuable player Derrick Rose running the point.

Pacers forward Paul George gets my nod for All-Star consideration this year. George not only guards the opposing team's best perimeter player on a nightly basis, but he is also his team's leading scorer with 17.2 points per game. At 6-foot-8, he has developed into one of the league’s top three rebounding guards and averages 7.8 boards per contest. The Fresno State product doesn't shy away from big games either; he scored 29 points against the Heat and 24 points against an elite Knicks team earlier this season.

'Sixers guard Jrue Holiday is playing the best season of his career and without a doubt should be selected to the All-Star game. Holiday is averaging 19 points per game and is fourth in the league in assists with nine per game. He has carried the 'Sixers load with Andrew Bynum out. Whenever a guard is one assist-per-game away from a double-double, that means the player deserves to be an All-Star.

Bulls forward Carlos Boozer is a surprising name that could be added to the All-star roster. He has averaged 22 points and 11.5 rebounds per game to help lead his team to a 8-3 record this month, including wins over the Heat, Knicks, Celtics, and Lakers. Boozer is performing like his old self for the !rst time in a Bulls uniform, and he should be rewarded for it.

Like Spiderman, Captain America and the Hulk, Southern Illinois !tness manager Tyler Hatton also has a secret identity.

When he isn’t whipping customers into shape at his day job, you can !nd him whipping his opponents with back-breaking pile drivers, leg drops and signature submission moves in the world of professional wrestling.

“Heath” Hatton was one of 16 wrestlers who showcased their skills to a crowd of more than 200 fans at Pro Wrestling Collision’s debut event Saturday at the Student Center. Hatton defeated opponents in multiple wrestling matches to become Pro Wrestling Collision’s !rst-ever Heavyweight Champion.

"e 27-year-old Southern Illinois native has wrestled for three years. He said his !rst wrestling attempt was supposed to be a joke for his friends to enjoy, but he was hooked after the performance.

Hatton said he fell in love with wrestling partly because of the entertainment and athleticism.

“It’s so challenging,” he said. “I’ve done (mixed martial arts) stu#, I have done boxing, I have done basketball and I have played college

baseball, and this is the most demanding thing I have ever done.”

He said he gets tired and sometimes hurt during an event, but everything goes away as soon as he walks through the curtain, sees the lights and hears the fans — until the next day.

“"e day after a show, it’s hard to get out of bed, and it’s hard to walk,” Hatton said. “It takes such a toll on your back and arms, so there are days when I don’t even know if I’m going to get out of bed.”

Despite the toll on Hatton’s body after a match, he said he continues to wrestle because of his fans. Hatton also performs one particular move he said female fans can’t get enough of.

“I take o# my shirt,” he said. “When I do that, they go nuts. "ere is nothing that I do that is spectacular, sex appeal I guess.”

Pro Wrestling is entertainment for the fans, but Hatton’s 5-year-old daughter said she !nds herself sometimes concerned for her father.

“Sometimes she’ll ask my wife, ‘Is daddy hurt?’” he said. “A funny story is one time she came to the back and saw the guy I was going to wrestle and she freaked out.”

Hatton’s debut with the Pro Wrestling Collision was also the company’s debut.

Wrestling fans Chris Hagstrom and Adam Testa were employees in charge of the day-to-day business of a local wrestling company with dreams to branch out on their own, until they saw an opportunity.

“We had been in$uential in the other company in the day-to-day things, but we didn’t own what we were doing,” Testa said. “We were doing it for someone else.”

Testa said they wanted to do things their way but continue to live their dreams of working in the professional wrestling business.

Hagstrom, the founder of Pro Wrestling Collision, said he has been in the wrestling business since 2004 when he started in promotions. A former SIU student, Hagstrom

said he saw his grades start to slip and that was when he decided to take on the wrestling business full-time.

He said he began to ring announce in 2006 and worked his way up to producing in 2011.

Hagstrom said there is never a normal day when it comes to owning your own company.

“"ere is so much that goes into preparation when talking to talent, booking the venues and producing the shows,” he said.

When there is a lot of pressure on him to accomplish a day’s work and things get hectic, Hagstrom credits his employee team for the help to carry the pressures and .

“I have a fantastic team behind me,” he said. “"ey have been able to take a lot of the burden that I used to have to do all by myself o# me so I can focus on owning and on the bigger picture.”

"e wrestling business can sometimes get crazy, Hagstrom said, but he couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

“I wouldn’t change it for the world,” he said. “It’s hectic. It’s crazy. People always need me, but I honestly wouldn’t do this if I didn’t love it.”

Like Hatton, both Testa and Hagstrom used wrestling to achieve their dreams despite the naysayers.

Now Testa and Hagstrom pay Hatton so he can do what he loves and perform in front of crazed wrestling fans.

Hatton said he has been told he wasn’t good enough, big enough, fast enough or tall enough for his entire career — but he still achieved his dream. He said he has accomplished everything he wanted to, and his next job once wrestling is over will be to make sure his daughter does the same.
