Reusing and recycling produce Nick Wangelin, a graduate student in plant soil and agricultural systems from Princeton, tends to plants growing in a University Farms garden plot.

Produce grown in the garden is used in Lentz Hall and Trueblood Hall kitchens. Both dining halls send back the pulped produce to a vermicompostion center where it is recycled and used in the soil as organic fertilizer.

On average, the dining halls send back nearly 250 pounds of used produce a week to be recycled. In addition to the pulped produce, the garden also recycles used coffee grounds from Starbucks in its fertilizer.

Administrative position to be filled externally LAUREN LEONE Daily Egyptian Provost John Nicklow says he hopes to fill an administrative position that has been vacant for one year by the start of fall semester.

The position, assistant provost and chief information officer, would manage multiple technology information systems such as e-mail, phone systems, course management and Banner, the student services system.

Chancellor Rita Cheng said

once someone fills the CIO position, SIUC has a greater chance to be ahead of the curve rather than catching up with trends in higher education. “We need someone really connected nationally to the trends in higher education so that we’re not reacting but planning ahead with technology improvements and cost savings,� she said. “We need someone to come in who’s had experience in higher education or in a large non-profit organization to lead the campus forward.�

Cheng said having a CIO is vital and would also assist the university’s efforts to improve distance education and accommodating students who would prefer online courses. “All of our student learning relies on an infrastructure of technology that sometimes people don’t think of,â€? she said. “We’ve limped along this year but ‌ a chief information officer, a lead technology person in an institution as complicated and as large as SIU, is really a very vital position.â€?

The last person who held the position under the title of director

of information technology, Frank Scobby, retired in 2010. He was appointed in August 2008 and retired two years later, which left the position vacant.

The average salary for a chief information officer in Illinois is $78,379 to $210,545 according to PayScale, a website that compares salaries in the global market.

Scobby ranked 72 on SIUC’s Top 100 Salary List in 2010 with an annual salary of $138,592.

Associate Provost Susan Logue said whoever fills the position should expect a similar but higher

salary than Scobby, depending on his or her qualifications.

Conducting a nationwide search would ensure the position is filled by someone with the proper expertise, Nicklow said.

He said the position is becoming common at institutions.

Although there are some expenses associated with searches for administrative, faculty and director positions, Nicklow said the cost of not having somebody in this position is far higher.

Storm damage extends campus recovery, cleanup continues WHITNEY WAY Daily Egyptian University grounds continue to undergo cleanup from storm damages. “Cleanup of the 2009 storm was still in progress when the April storms hit Carbondale,� said Kevin Bame, vice chancellor for admission and finance. “These storms delayed cleanup efforts and

added to recovery costs.�

Bame said wind storms that hit Carbondale April 3 and April 19 set back the cleanup progression of the May 8, 2009 derecho, which downed hundreds of trees and caused massive property damage in the southern Illinois region.

He said the estimated total cost for recovery is $10.5 million, $216,000 of which is a result of the April storms.

Brad Dillard, associate director of physical plant services, said the majority of the recovery budget attributed to forestry cleanup and replacement of damaged campus buildings roofs. “There was extensive damage to plant facilities from the (2009) storm,� Dillard said. “Many buildings on campus suffered damage... some required tens of thousands of dollars to repair.�

The spring storms triggered the evacuation to lower levels of university buildings, and Chris Shelton, a graduate student in education from Chicago, said he was forced to evacuate his building during the 2009 derecho. “[The storm] ripped the roof off my apartment building,�

Shelton said. “I had to find alternative housing. Everyone who lived there did.�

Shelton said roads blocked with fallen trees and debris also hindered students’ interaction and travel. “A lot of my friends had their graduation [ceremony defered] until August. Their families traveled to see them graduate and left with nothing [to show for it],�

Shelton said.

Cheng said most searches conducted for administrative, faculty and director positions have been nationwide, including those for the deans of the College of Engineering and the College of Liberal Arts. The first search for a new provost was nationwide, but the second was

conducted internally, she said.

Logue said expenses to conduct searches such as this one vary greatly and depend on advertisement costs.

The cost of advertisement could be several hundred dollars to $1,000 depending on the publication, she said.

“I think what we’re trying to do is handle this as economically as possible but still get the exposure through advertising we need to get through a

pool of applicants,” Logue said.

Logue said SIUC is advertising in national journals such as the Chronicle of Higher Education and other key areas that would attract applicants with the right qualifications.

She said she believes a search’s biggest expenses are travel and lodging.

“If we’re flying someone in from another state, it’s probably going to

Daily Egyptian cost us $300, $400 (for the flight),” she said. “A couple of nights in a hotel in Carbondale is not very expensive, but the flights are what would be the most expensive.”

Logue said the only cost associated with search committee members is their time and effort. Members are not paid extra to serve on the committee, she said.

“Another cost you don’t see is the

time and effort the search committee puts in by reviewing all of the search materials, preparing for the interviews and conducting interviews. That takes quite a bit of time,” Logue said.

Cheng said despite the various costs to conduct a nationwide search, it's not out of the ordinary and she believes the person with proper qualifications will not be found within the university.

Angel Gonzalez drags a tree limb to a wood chipper Tuesday across from the Campus Lake Boat Dock. The wood is part of the remaining cleanup from the May 8, 2009 derecho and other violent weather in recent months. The crew worked in 90-degree temperatures at various locations throughout campus.

“Bring it on,” said Mike Gould, a worker for the university, while on break from cutting trees with a chainsaw in preparation for disposal.

Bame said cleanup efforts are in full effect and the goal for completion fall 2011.

The total cost for roof replacement from the May 8, 2009 derecho was more than $4 million. For both storms, Bame said tree replacement cost $90,000 and physical plant replacement and cleanup totaled $700,000.

"The university requested and received financial aid from FEMA and the state,” Bame said. “All campus buildings are insured, so insurance covered most of the costs.”

FEMA and university insurance will pay $8.5 million in damages, and the university will be responsible to pay $1 million of these damages, he said. Bame also said recovery cost will not impact student tuition.

Dillard said restoration of forestry grounds and campus buildings is a top priority for the university, and storm damages on campus act as an indirect hindrance when recruiting new students.

"The beautification ... of the campus attracts students and faculty to the university," Dillard said. "We want the campus ready before students arrive."

City Council postpones vote; all tied up TARA KULASH Daily Egyptian Citizens packed the Carbondale Civic Center to hear the verdict on whether local grocery stores could begin to sell alcohol. The Carbondale City Council disappointed the audience, however, by refusing to second the motion on the act.

The council also came to a tie vote for Lance Jack’s liquor license renewal for his business, Fat Patties.

Mayor Joel Fritzler said the council hopes to meet again next week to discuss the restaurant’s liquor license renewal.

Tom Eakins, manager of Schnucks, said he hoped the council would listen to what the Carbondale public has requested for years: To allow local grocery stores to sell alcohol.

“That’s the number one thing that our customers have been asking for,” Eakins said.

Carbondale capped retail liquor licenses in the 1970s, stripping grocery stores of the right to sell alcohol. In 2010, City Council began to discuss a removal of the cap in order to allow grocery stores to sell either beer and wine, or beer, wine and liquor. The council passed a motion but refused to second the act at the City Council meeting Tuesday.

Francis Murphy, general manager of Neighborhood Co-op, said his store had already made plans for the change.

“We have plans to put in a fivedeck beer cooler,” Murphy said.

He said the store would also designate an area for wine.

He said passage of the act would be beneficial for the Co-op, because over 70 percent of surveyed customers agreed they would like to see beer or wine in the store.

But what could be an upside for grocery stores could be a downside

BROOKE GRACE | DAILY EGYPTIAN

Carbondale City Council member Don Monty participates in the Local Liquor Control Commission meeting Tuesday at the Carbondale Civic for local liquor stores. “(This act) could hurt liquor stores that have been in business for over forty years,” Tom Hoffmann II, owner of ABC Liquor, said. “The mayor claims there is a monopoly right now, which is totally wrong.

There’s currently eight (liquor store) locations with six different owners.”

Hoffman said the lack of alcohol sales does not put a huge dent in grocery stores’ pockets because they’re large corporations. The money made by grocery stores does

not go into the local economy and that’s part of Carbondale’s economic problem, he said.

“Another issue is there’s a lot of underage college students, and (the act) just makes it more accessible for them to obtain alcohol,” Hoffman said. “Or it disappears off of shelves into purses and pockets.”

Council member Jane Adams did not have a definite stance and said she needed to be more educated on the topic before taking one.

Center. The commission votes were tied 3-3 on the action to renew fellow council member Lance Jack’s liquor license for Fat Patties.

“I know a lot of you came out because you really wanted to talk about this issue,” Adams said. “I feel like the rug kind of got pulled out from under you … I feel badly about that, but I simply wasn’t prepared to take up a proposal … that I didn’t think was ready to really consider seriously.”

Fritzler said he was disappointed with the council’s absence of discussion during the meeting.

“I knew there was some opposition, but I thought that they

would at least allow it to come up for discussion … this topic has been discussed for over twenty years. It’s time (to pass the act),” he said.

Murphy, however said he was fine with the act being delayed.

“I respect the feelings of the council. I really think it needs further deliberation by the advisory board … it’s really OK to take their time to figure it out,” Murphy said.

Council member Don Monty said he hopes the issue will be resolved no later than August.

NJ professor accused of running prostitution site DAVID PORTER Associated Press T E A N E C K , N . J. — A New Jersey physics professor who dabbled in scuba diving and harbored dreams of working in the theater had another hobby, New Mexico police say: operating a sophisticated prostitution website that may have catered to as many as 200 prostitutes and 1,200 clients.

David Flory, 68, was arrested Sunday at a Starbucks in Albuquerque on 40 counts of promoting prostitution. The professor, who has taught at Fairleigh Dickinson University since 1969, has a vacation home in Santa Fe. A specialist in elementary particle theory, Flory also spent a decade in the school administration where, according to his website, he worked on human resource database systems and measuring academic productivity — skills that were evident from the three-tiered system police say he created for

rating the privileges of johns who used the prostitution service.

Flory, a married father of three according to his personal website, was being held on a $100,000 bond Tuesday. He didn't respond to an e-mail message. His wife didn't return a phone message left at the couple's New York apartment.

Albuquerque Police Lt. William Roseman told The Associated Press that Flory's password-protected website, Southwest Companions, had been the subject of a vice investigation for the last six months after police received tips from prostitutes and johns.

Roseman said the site had been in operation about three years and had about 1,400 members — about 200 prostitutes and about 1,200 johns. Most of the members were in the Albuquerque-Santa Fe area, though some postings originated in Phoenix and Denver. The prostitutes were paid between $80 and $850 for their services, according to the criminal complaint.

Flory and his wife, Sharon,

a psychotherapist specializing in eating disorders, live in an apartment on New York's Upper West Side, about 10 miles from the Fairleigh Dickinson campus. Their Santa Fe vacation house is called Casa de Los Arboles, or "house of the trees."

The alleged prostitution site apparently didn't make a lot of money.

"He said he was not in this for the money," Roseman told the AP. "He flat-out told us his thing was he wanted to create a safe place for prostitutes and johns to get together.

He called it a hobby."

Roseman said Flory "had dates set up" with the prostitutes when he came to New Mexico but couldn't say for sure what happened during those encounters.

Police said the Southwest Companions website had three levels or ratings for johns: probation, verified and trust.

"In order to get off probation you had to sleep with one of the prostitutes on the website and she

in turn would tell the moderator (Flory) what acts occurred, how much they paid and any comments," he said. "That opened you up to verified status. Once you got into verified status that opened you up to different girls available. Then, some would e-mail the moderator, 'This is the act, this is how much he paid, these are my comments about it.'"

After so many of those, Roseman said, members moved into trusted status, which afforded access to features such as training videos on what do if you got caught by police.

Members who reached the trusted level also could rate prostitutes.

Samantha Agosto, a 21-year-old nursing student at FDU who had Flory as a tutor a few years ago, said she never found anything either odd or remarkable about him.

"I never got that creepy vibe from him," she said in a telephone interview. "He was very friendly and very willing to give of himself to help a student, very willing to give his time."

According to Flory's personal

website, he has two daughters, a stepdaughter and four grandchildren. In an interview with a university publication in February, he said he is a certified scuba diver and also said he has considered attempting a career in theatrical lighting design, a pursuit he'd followed in high school and college.

Referring to his time spent in the administration, he wrote on his website: "Now I spend a lot of my time working and playing with computer systems and software."

A Fairleigh Dickinson University spokeswoman said the school was saddened by the arrest, but did not say if Flory had been suspended from his job.

The campus was nearly deserted Tuesday, but some students hanging out at the campus center said the news caught them by surprise.

"It was just so random," said Tiffany Jones, a recent graduate from Red Bank, N.J. "It's irresponsible. It's just so bad for him to do something like that."

Winehouse meltdown part of larger trend ELI MILEUR Daily Egyptian The least surprising story of the past few days was the collapse of Amy Winehouse’s European tour. This is what we’ve come to expect from the notorious singer, but she’s not the first star to destroy herself in the public’s gaze.

According to the Associated Press, Winehouse barely stumbled through her set Saturday in Belgrade, Serbia, and much of the crowd booed or simply left. She soon canceled the next two dates on her tour and returned to London. The fate of her summer tour remains in doubt.

Winehouse has remained in the media spotlight for some time with her troubled, drugaddled off-stage life instead of her music. If her mix of jazz and R&B seemed like the beginning of something exciting in 2006, when she released “Back to Black,� it now seems like a wistful relic of what might have been. With this latest debacle, Winehouse’s descent into career oblivion seems irreversible.

Anyone who’s paid the least amount of attention to the tabloids can’t be too shocked by all of this. But the annals of pop history are filled with cases like this. Winehouse is simply playing out one of our basic pop-cultural stories: the rock ‘n’ roll martyr.

It’s no secret that many pop stars burn out, or even die young — Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Gram Parsons, John Bonham, Ian Curtis, Kurt Cobain, Townes Van Zandt,

œœ

W

inehouse is simply playing out one of our basic popcultural stories: the rock ‘n’ roll martyr.

Michael Jackson — the list goes on.

What is it about being a rock star that leads to drug and alcohol abuse, hard living and sometimes premature and often grisly death, be it physical or artistic? The obvious answers — creative types are often prone to instability, the lifestyle takes its toll — certainly have something to do with it. But there’s more to it than that.

It seems, especially with the rise of reality TV and a performance-obsessed culture, that the rock ‘n’ roll burnout is simply what the public expects, maybe even wants, and that the stars who succumb to it are in part just imitating their idols and playing a role.

Rock ‘n’ roll is obviously about more than danceable rhythms and catchy melodies. A good piece of evidence is the headline of a blog that appeared on The Guardian’s website: “Was Amy Winehouse’s Belgrade gig really that bad? The Valerie singer’s performance was a mess, but that’s what made it rock’n’roll.�

Clearly, for this writer at least, carrying a tune isn’t quite enough. To be a real rock star, one has to live on the edge, defy expectations, abuse his or herself — all, presumably, in the name of art.

Most of the legendary “deadbefore-their-time� stars in the history of popular music are cast as martyrs after their fall.

Kurt Cobain was the troubled soul who couldn’t cope with the

fame machine. Jimi Hendrix was the genius who found an escape in drugs from a business he didn’t understand. Hank Williams destroyed himself because of the very sorrow that gave his music life. Those aren’t necessarily the real reasons any of those artists died, but that certainly seems to be the myth surrounding them.

What about stars who seem to survive it all? The Rolling Stones, for instance, essentially wrote the book on debauched, no-holds-barred rock stardom.

And they’re still around today playing sold-out, hideously overpriced shows.

The thing is, they peaked 40 years ago.

The modern rock burnout persona seems to be a combination of the sorrowful self-abuse of Hank Williams, the excessive abandon of the Stones and the world-weary and sick-of-it-all attitude of mid-60s Bob Dylan (whose greatest influence on rock, despite his astonishing artistic output, seems to be hyper selfconscious image building).

What about the public? Why do we find the same story so fascinating over and over again?

Perhaps we just thrive on tragedy. After all, since rock stars are already setting themselves up as performers more than anything else, we can more easily distance ourselves from the very real consequences of their burnout while still experiencing catharsis, if that is

PROVIDED PHOTO indeed what we get from it.

I’m not saying that everyone takes pleasure in the suffering of stars, but how many people are deeply pained when they open up Us Weekly to see a picture of Amy Winehouse stumbling down the street with makeup sloppily streaked across her face and her top almost falling off ?

Everyone likes a little spectacle and we have rock stars to provide it, complete with myth-

building, tragic gravity.

Maybe we all play different roles at different times in our lives. Rock stars just play them to the max. Unfortunately for them — and for us, regardless of the wealth of pop-cultural myth that it provides for our entertainment — it often comes with a price.

Rest in peace, not in vain DARCE OLUND Daily Egyptian

While some mourned Ryan Dunn’s death, Roger Ebert posted his thoughts on what has become the more common form of expression these days: social networks.

“Friends don’t let jackasses drink and drive,” Ebert said via Twitter a tweet that would open the doors to social networking drama.

Shortly after the tweet was posted, members of Facebook and Twitter took it upon themselves to let Ebert know exactly how they felt. The comments posted on the social networking sites ranged from abuse to praise. As a result of the high traffic of harsh comments on Ebert’s Facebook and the countless reports of vulgarity to Facebook headquarters, Ebert’s page was taken down briefly Dunn, one of the stars of MTV’s “Jackass,” died in a car crash Monday at age 34. His time on both the “Jackass” show and movies was a happy time filled with all the practical, and impractical, jokes and pranks you can imagine. Dunn lived a life that was full of fun. Dunn’s passenger, who also died, was identified Tuesday as Zachary Hartwell, a friend and stunt man on the “Jackass” films.

Dunn’s close friends and co-

PROVIDED PHOTO

Bam Margera: left with the late Ryan Dunn: right stars, including Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O, released statements shortly after the news broke, but long-time friend Bam Margera was silent until Ebert’s tweet.

Margera broke his silence by responding to Ebert in a notcompletely-coherent tweet defending his late friend and trashing Ebert.

“I just lost my best friend, I have been crying hysterical for a full day and piece of s*** Roger

Ebert has the gall to put in his 2 cents…about a jackass drunk driving and his is one, f*** you!

Millions of people are crying right now, shut your fat f****** mouth!” Margera said.

Ebert responded to Margera’s tweet on his Chicago Sun-Times blog Tuesday, “To begin with, I offer my sympathy to Ryan Dunn’s family and friends, and to those of Zachary Hartwell, who also died in the crash. I mean that sincerely. It

is tragic to lose a loved one. I also regret that my tweet about the event was considered cruel. It was not intended as cruel. It was intended as true.” The full blog post can be seen online.

Many people were quick to assume Dunn was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash due to a picture he posted on Tumbler of himself drinking at a bar. However, an autopsy hasn’t been completed, and a DUI hasn’t

been confirmed as the cause in the initial accident report. According to the NBC News website, the cause of the accident is still being determined.

Although Dunn had a reputation as a partier, there’s no need to add insult to injury and further the pain of his death with speculation based on the fact that he was seen drinking prior to the accident.

Because Dunn frequented the limelight, his death had an impact on people that he never met, especially “Jackass” fans.

We live in a viral world that gives everyone an opportunity to speak their piece or poison about all types of situations.

What Ebert initially tweeted was hurtful, primarily because it was said entirely too soon after Dunn’s death. However, the same can be said about those who responded to Ebert, Margera included, with words just as hurtful, if not more.

The tweeting and blogging about the ‘he said, she said’ arguments only demoralize Dunn’s death. The laughter he inspired when he was alive should be celebrated, and his family and friends should be consoled.

Greek PM survives confidence vote in parliament DEREK GATOPOULOS ELENA BECATOROS Associated Press The Greek prime minister survived a crucial confidence vote early Wednesday, keeping alive a government dedicated to averting a debt default that could spark a financial maelstrom around the world.

Lawmakers voted 155 to 143 along party lines to back George Papandreou, who now faces a critical vote next week on a massive austerity package that Greece’s international creditors have said must pass by the end of June.

He is seeking €28 billion ($40.24 billion) in budget cuts and new taxes and €50 billion worth of

privatization of public assets. Unless the new measures pass, Greece will not receive the next batch of bailout funds, worth €12 billion, and will face a disastrous default in July, when it runs out of money.

A default by Greece could drag down Greek and European banks and renew fears over the finances of other eurozone countries such as Portugal, Ireland and Spain.

After the vote, riot police fired tear gas and stun grenades to push back a group of about 200 protesters who had broken off from a main rally of several thousand to throw bottles and other objects at the police lines guarding Parliament.

Papandreou’s government came to the brink of collapse last week as protesters rioted on the streets of

Athens, two party rebels resigned their parliamentary seats and talks with the opposition conservatives over forming a pro-austerity coalition government fell apart. In response, he reshuffled his cabinet, replaced his increasingly unpopular finance minister with a party heavyweight — his main internal rival — and called for the confidence vote.

European officials have been pressing opposition leader Antonis Samaras to back the austerity bill, which will run to 2015, two years beyond the current government’s mandate. But Samaras has insisted the thinking behind it is wrong, saying it is keeping Greece in a recession. He has called for a renegotiation of the initial bailout deal.

As deputies voted, several

thousand protesters gathered outside Parliament chanting “Thieves! thieves!”, shining green laser lights at the parliament building and into the eyes of riot police protecting it. Continuing strikes by electricity company workers objecting to privatization caused a second day of rolling blackouts.

Greece is being kept financially afloat by €110 billion ($157 billion) package of bailout loans granted by other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund last year, and has implemented strict austerity measures in return, cutting public sector salaries and pensions, increasing taxes and overhauling its welfare system.

But the country has struggled to meet it targets, missing many,

and is now in negotiations for a second bailout, which Papandreou has said will be roughly the same size as the first.

Officials from the IMF, European Commission and European Central Bank who have been overseeing Greece’s reforms were in Athens Wednesday to discuss the new austerity measures.

Papandreou’s popularity has been hammered by the latest austerity measures, with an opinion poll published Tuesday giving the Socialists a 20.1 percent approval rating. Rival conservatives faired marginally better, at 21 percent, in the GPO survey for private Mega television of 1,000 adults. No margin of error was given.

Airbus racks up orders, glitches at Paris Air Show GREG KELLER JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press Airbus and Boeing signed over $25 billion in orders to kick off the Paris Air Show on Monday, but the European jet maker’s appearance at the industry’s biggest annual event suffered a setback when its star superjumbo clipped a wing.

Airbus topped the totals, signing orders and commitments for 142 aircraft worth $15 billion at list prices, the company said Monday.

Rival Boeing countered with more than $11 billion worth of orders and commitments for 56 of its jets, including an order by Qatar Airways for six of its 777 jets in a $1.7 billion deal.

Airlines are particularly interested in energy-efficient models at this year’s show — displays included biofuel and hybrid engines as well as a solar plane.

One star, Airbus’ superjumbo A380, was grounded after breaking a wing tip on a taxiway structure, the latest in a string of embarrassments for the company.

The Airbus A400M military transport plane had to cancel a demonstration flight because of what the manufacturer described as a minor gearbox problem, although the aircraft made a fly-over during President Nicolas Sarkozy’s visit to the air show on Monday.

Airbus’ chief salesman John Leahy defended the delay, saying the revamped A350-1000 would best rival Boeing’s 777-300ER by flying 400 nautical miles further while burning 25 percent less fuel.

Airbus’ first big order Monday was from GE Capital Aviation Services,

for 60 A320neo jets, a version of the workhorse jet revamped to be more fuel efficient.

Airbus has booked 390 orders and commitments for the A320neo since its commercial launch last December — even though it won’t come into service until 2015 — from airlines squeezed by higher fuel prices.

Given the fierce competition, Sarkozy defended European governments’ support for France-based Airbus. “Aviation is a strategic sector that the state should not lose interest in,” he said in opening the show.

Airbus edged out Boeing at last

year’s Farnborough International Airshow in the U.K., racking up deals totaling $13.2 billion, while Chicagobased Boeing’s commitments came in at $12.8 billion.

More than 2,100 exhibitors from 45 countries have signed up to take part in the weeklong event showcasing both commercial and defense aircraft. Airbus expects to bag bountiful orders for a new, more fuel-efficient version of its workhorse A320 shorthaul jet, while Boeing is spotlighting its new midrange 787 Dreamliner and 747-8 intercontinental passenger jets.

EU foreign ministers freeze assets of Libyan ports DON MELVIN Associated Press European Union foreign ministers harshly condemned the regime of Libyan Col. Moammar Gadhafi on Monday, saying there could be no impunity for crimes against humanity and urging his followers to distance themselves from such crimes.

“Time is not on Gadhafi’s side,” the foreign ministers said in a statement.

“He has lost all legitimacy to remain in power.”

The 27 foreign ministers, meeting in Luxembourg, toughened the EU’s sanctions against the regime by adding six port authorities controlled by Gadhafi’s forces to its asset-freeze list.

The ports were not named.

The statement said the officials were concerned about the humanitarian situation, particularly in the city of Misrata and in the western mountains, and said charity organizations must be granted unhindered access throughout Libya without delay. It reiterated the offer — made many times, but never accepted — to support the delivery of humanitarian aid with an EU military

force if requested to do so by the U.N. The statement also said the EU, working with the U.N., the World Bank and regional organizations, had started to mobilize its resources to support a political transition in Libya and will also help with post-conflict reconstruction.

EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton has expressed concern about

postwar stability in Libya if planning is not done.

She has said a successful postconflict period in North Africa will require what she calls the three M’s: money, market access and mobility.

She wants Europe to contribute billions of euros (dollars) to develop the economies of Libya, Egypt and Tunisia.

TRACK CONTINUED FROM

While consistency is the focal point for Berry, Athletic Director Mario Moccia said consistency

has been a recurring theme in the SIU track and field program with athletes competing in national and world events almost every year.

He said the track and field program has now become one of

the most successful programs the school has to offer in large part due to its decorated coaching staff.

Price-Smith, a four-time Olympian herself, received the Olympic Achievement Award

Daily Egyptian June 17, which Moccia accepted on her behalf. He said she is a highly sought after coach, and the university is fortunate to have her in charge of the program.

“If you look at our throws

area, the word 'Spartans' comes to mind,” Moccia said. “I think it’s pretty clear our track and field program is, in a way, by far one of the most successful programs we have.”

NBA owners, players swap proposals, to meet Friday BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press Saying it reflects a "desire to go as far as we can to avoid a lockout," NBA Commissioner David Stern revealed Tuesday that owners have moved off their insistence on a hard salary cap.

Players don't see it that way.

So it appears the cap system remains as the biggest obstacle to a new collective bargaining

agreement before the rapidly approaching June 30 deadline.

Stern said the league has proposed a "flex cap," in which teams would target a uniform dollar amount to spend, but would still be permitted to exceed it up to an unspecified level. Players argue it's still a hard cap, because the ceiling would eventually kick in.

So even though both sides felt there was progress in what Stern had said was an important day in

these negotiations, a sizable gap remains.

"At this point we're still just really far apart on the largest issue of hard salary cap, and still some economic issues as well," players' association president Derek Fisher of the Lakers said.

Calling it "virtually the best shot we think we have" to avoid a work stoppage, Stern said the owners' proposal would ensure that players' total compensation

would never fall below $2 billion a year in a 10-year contract, slightly less than the league paid this season.

He said the average player salary would be about $5 million and Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said the goal would be an eventual 50-50 split of basketball revenues. The players are currently guaranteed 57 percent.

Though Stern refused to call this his last offer, he said the "cupboard

is getting barer and barer."

"It's all out there," he said. "The owners to a person feel that this is what we have to give."

The flex cap offer had previously been proposed to the players, but had not been disclosed publicly until Tuesday. According to Stern, teams would be targeted to spend approximately $62 million, with the option to spend above through certain exceptions before reaching a limit they could not exceed.

fter less than one year on the job, Florida Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez unexpectedly resigned after his team went in a tailspin, winning only one of the final 20 games he managed. He has been replaced by 80-year-old Jack McKeon, the second-oldest manager in MLB history. What sort of outcome do you think this will bring to the ball club?

CORY DOWNER

CDowner@dailyegyptian.com

Well, McKeon has been with the organization for a long time and has even won a World Series with the team. I think he is going to bring a much-needed change of pace to a team that really is a lot better than what it appears to be in the standings.

While I do think the change was needed, I don’t know if this was a good hire. With McKeon being at least 50 years older than most of the players, I don’t know if the players will relate well. But hey, what do I know? Joe Paterno never had a problem with relating to players at Penn State.

¶¶I

doubt the addition of McKeon will do a lot. Sure, he may help win a world series but he’s 80 and therefore it’s going to be difficult to connect with younger players. Not to mention, the Marlins are already the worse team in baseball.

Saluki career over for Berry, National event to put professional life begins cap on season TERRANCE PEACOCK Daily Egyptian

CORY DOWNER Daily Egyptian The USA Track and Field Nationals gives athletes the opportunity to compete for world-level competitions, and SIU sent two of its own as the final stop of the 2011 season.

The event held in Eugene, Ore. will host the top athletes in the nation, and among them will be senior thrower Gwen Berry and junior thrower Jeneva McCall. Both athletes qualified for the event prior to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Iowa, and with respective top three finishes in their events, they will have the opportunity to compete as world athletes.

Coach Connie Price-Smith said this is one of the most exciting times of the season, particularly with the possibilities of a big finish. She said the season can tax an athlete’s body, but she expects them both to perform to their abilities since they have gone through this before. “I’d like them to just go in and do their best and prove they are one of the best,� Price-Smith said. “It’s been a long season for them, but I think if they can

both come out in the finals, it would be a big end.�

Though the two will compete in a combined three events, Berry will compete as an unattached athlete, and only McCall will represent SIU. Both will compete in the hammer throw against each other and other top competitors in the nation. McCall will also compete in the discus.

With her Saluki career finished, Berry said the national events can create a bigger buzz than the others, but it is important for her to look at this the same way she would a less significant event. “Basically, you just keep working because it’s not over,�

Berry said. “You work hard to have a good season, so you have to work hard to complete the season.�

While she didn’t have success at the outdoor championships in Iowa due to three straight fouls in the hammer throw, Berry said her main focus in Eugene is not to worry about a particular distance she wants to hit, but to maintain consistency with three successful throws.

Gwen Berry�s time as a Saluki runner is over, but she says her career has just begun.

She hopes to compete in the Olympics.

Berry finished her career as the No. 3 ranked hammer thrower in the U.S. and one of only five women college athletes to throw over 70 meters.

Berry began as a freshman in the triple jump and converted to hammer throw and shot put in the middle of the year, said John Smith, her throws coach. “I bugged her for about three months to be a hammer thrower,�

Smith said. “I started coaching her in the shot put and eventually she tried the hammer, and ever since then she has been an All-American hammer and shot putter.�

Berry said her biggest obstacle at SIU was the transformation from triple jumper to hammer thrower because she had never tried the hammer throw. “I never even heard of the hammer, so I didn’t want to do it,� Berry said.

Since the first time she competed as a Saluki, Berry said she wanted to make sure her teammates fed off the work ethic and positive energy she exhibited at every practice and meet. “If you do what you are told,

execute every practice to the best of your ability, go to practice with a purpose, go to every lifting session with a purpose and train how you were told to train, everything will work out,�

Berry said.

Smith said Berry was one of the hardest working girls he coached, and he never had a problem with her in the three and a half years he coached her. “She has been a joy to have around, and I wish I had more athletes like her,� Smith said. “She’s one of those very rare athletes ... she works hard, she does what you want her to do, she’s a student of the sport and she has had great success because of it.�

Athletic Director Mario Moccia said Berry has one of the best personalities of any SIUC student athlete.

Moccia said Berry is upbeat, outgoing and fun. She also says what is on her mind, whether it's in the weight room or in practice, he said.

He said she was an example to the younger track and field athletes — not only by performance but by command. “When you have a senior that has that kind of work ethic and personality, it shows the younger folks the right way to do things, so it’s always helpful to have great senior leadership, especially with the success she has had,� Moccia said.

Berry said her teammates learned a lot from her through the years, but she has learned a lot from them, too. “I always try to say encouraging words to them, even if I have a bad day,� she said. “My teammates have been by my side for four years.�

Berry ranks second in SIUChistory in the hammer throw, outdoor shot put and indoor weight throw. She ranks third in the indoor shot put.

Altogether, Berry is a four-time Missouri Valley Conference Champion and twotime All-American.
