Illinois state workers’ paychecks to go out as court fight continues Kim GeiGer |ChiCaGo Tribune Republican Comptroller Leslie Munger is forging ahead with plans to send out full paychecks to state workers Wednesday, despite an ongoing court battle over whether – and how much – public employees can be paid while state government operates without a budget. Checks will go out to 6,800 employees who are due to be paid Wednesday for work performed in the first two weeks of the state’s budget year. Others in Illinois’ roughly 60,000-person state government workforce are on different pay schedules, and their checks aren’t due until later this month. As Munger presses on with payroll, Democratic Attorney General Lisa Madigan on Monday asked the Illinois Supreme Court to weigh in after Chicago and Downstate judges handed out competing rulings on the matter last week. Munger spokesman Rich Carter said the comptroller’s office views a Thursday ruling in St. Clair County to have cleared the way for paychecks to go out.

That Downstate judge ruled in favor of 13 unions representing state employees who argued that not paying workers would be a breach of their collective bargaining agreements. The decision contradicted an earlier order from a Cook County judge who said Munger should pay workers only the $7.25-per-hour federal minimum wage until Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the General Assembly can agree on a spending plan for state government. In that case, Madigan’s office had argued that the state should comply with federal labor laws during the budget impasse but does not have the authority to spend beyond that without a budget in place. The Cook judge agreed with Madigan, who is the daughter of Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, Rauner’s chief opponent in the budget battle at the Capitol. Rauner, Munger and the unions appealed the Cook County decision, while Lisa Madigan appealed the St. Clair court’s ruling. On Monday, Madigan asked the state’s high court to take up both cases.

Iran, world powers reach landmark nuclear agreement Paul riChTer Tribune WashinGTon bureau Negotiators from Iran, the U.S. and five other world powers have reached agreement on a landmark deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program, diplomats here announced Tuesday. The agreement, one of the most consequential and controversial international diplomatic achievements in decades, brings to a close nearly two years of talks, capped by a final, intense 18-day round of bargaining that lasted late into Monday night. The agreement is designed to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon for at least a decade. In a statement from the White House, President Barack Obama hailed the deal as an example of “American leadership.” “Because America negotiated from a position of strength and principle, we have stopped the spread of nuclear weapons” to Iran, Obama said. “This deal is not built on trust, it is built on verification.” By contrast, no deal would mean a greater chance of war, he said, vowing to veto any congressional effort to block the agreement. “This deal offers the opportunity to move in a new direction” in the relationship between Iran and the rest of the world, Obama said. “We

should seize it.” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani similarly announced the deal to his country, in a televised address from Tehran. “Our prayers have come true,” he said. A senior Iranian official in Vienna said he expects the United Nations Security Council to consider a new resolution that sets out the blueprint for the deal, and to adopt it in a week to 10 days. “We believe this is a good agreement,” the official said. “There’s no need for spinning.” Announcement of the deal is all but certain to set off an intense debate within the U.S. and internationally. Under its terms, Iran will accept a series of restrictions on its nuclear activities, some of which will last considerably longer than 10 years, and will allow inspection of known and suspected nuclear sites. In exchange, the U.S., Europe and the United Nations will agree to lift sanctions that have had a crushing impact on Iran’s economy. Secretary of State John F. Kerry, who played a crucial role in the talks, said sanctions will only be lifted when Iran has taken a series of initial steps, including dismantling a heavy water reactor at Arak and shipping nearly all its enriched uranium out of the country. The restrictions and inspections are designed to lengthen the so-called

breakout period – the amount of time that Iran would need to produce a nuclear bomb if its leaders made the decision to race for one. U.S. intelligence agencies believe Iran currently could achieve that goal in about two to three months. The deal aims to increase the breakout period to at least a year, which Obama says would give the U.S. time to respond – militarily, if necessary – to prevent Iran from getting a bomb. The agreement aims to achieve that goal by limiting the number of centrifuges Iran can operate to enrich uranium, as well as the amount of uranium the country can stockpile. The inspection requirements are designed to prevent covert enrichment efforts. U.S. officials said the deal came together late Monday night after 17 days in which the bargaining had veered between success and deadlock. Kerry and other Western officials had hoped that foreign ministers could give the deal a final blessing Monday, but the last hours proved more difficult than expected, as officials from the seven countries involved – the U.S., Iran, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China – wrangled over wording of the United Nations Security Council resolution that will eliminate earlier nuclear-related sanctions on Iran and set out the blueprint for the new agreement.

SIU begins summer demolition project Branda Mitchell| @BrandaM_DE On Monday, demolition began on nine vacant houses on campus. Kevin Bame, vice chancellor for administration and finance said the project was a matter of finances. “Due to their age, these

buildings have become increasingly expensive to maintain,” Bame said in a press release. “Demolishing the buildings makes sense from a budgetary standpoint, and this will enhance the appearance of these areas.” The buildings were originally

constructed as private homes between 1930 and 1961, and acquired by SIU between 1965 and 1980. The university said the process should be done by the beginning of the fall semester. The demolition will cost $317,000, according to the press release.

Pluto is now the most distant object ever visited by humanity deBorah netBurn | Los Angeles Times

After a nearly decadelong journey, the New Horizons spacecraft zoomed past Pluto early Tuesday. The dwarf planet is now the most distant object ever visited by humanity. New Horizons’ closest approach was scheduled for 7:49 a.m. EDT when the spacecraft would be just 7,800 miles away — close enough to take the first high-resolution images of Pluto’s mottled landscape. But Tuesday morning NASA officials said it was likely that New Horizons arrived at its destination 72 seconds earlier than projected. That still puts New Horizons solidly in its target window. It also means the mission got about 43 miles closer to the dwarf planet than originally planned, said New Horizons principal investigator

Alan Stern. A small batch of images is expected to be released Thursday or Friday. Because of the high speeds necessary to send the craft to the Kuiper belt, it was unable to orbit or otherwise linger near Pluto or its five moons. Instead, New Horizons flew by at 30,800 mph. To maximize its scientific data collection, the spacecraft is not scheduled to communicate its status until Tuesday evening. “We lost the signal as planned at 11:17 p.m. Eastern and there is nothing we could do but trust we had prepared it well to set off on its journey on its own,” said Alice Bowman, New Horizons’ mission operations manager. After the spacecraft went quiet, several members of the New Horizons

team remained in the operations room anyway. “Even though we knew it wasn’t going to be talking to us, we wanted to be there so that we would be with it while it went through that journey,” Bowman said. The brief encounter was a product of the realities of orbital physics, which precluded any chance to slow down the spacecraft. Pluto is two-thirds the size of Earth’s moon, and its gravity is very weak — just one-fifteenth of Earth’s gravity. It’s easy to get caught in the gravitational pull of a gas giant like Jupiter, which is about 300 times the mass of Earth. If you can get a spacecraft near enough, the planet’s powerful gravity would draw it down until it could settle into a stable orbit.

Top five latest news in gaming Grant Meyer | @GrantMeyerDe San Diego Comic-Con was this weekend and had some exciting news, but it was all eclipsed by the tragic death of one of gaming’s visionaries. Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata dies at 55. On Saturday, tragedy struck as Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata, a gaming visionary and icon, died of a bile duct tumor. Iwata had to miss last year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, the biggest event in video gaming, because he was in poor health. Iwata first began as a programmer for Nintendo’s HAL Laboratory in 1983, working on games such as “Earthbound” and “Ballon Fight.” In 2002, he became the fourth president of Nintendo. This is a big loss for the gaming community. Many executives in the industry only view games as

a business and have no love for the games their companies create, but Iwata cared for the games his companies developed. “On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer,” he said at the Game Developers Conference in 2005. “Halo: The Fall of Reach” will be getting an animated adaptation. “Halo: The Fall of Reach” was the first of many novels released for the franchise as part of its expanded lore. A prequel to the original game, “Halo: Combat Evolved,” the book is the origin story of the series’ Spartan protagonist, John-117, more well known as Master Chief. This book is a fan favorite among the novels in “Halo” fiction. When the new game, ”Halo 5: Guardians,” launches Oct. 27, a three-part animated series based

on the book will be included with limited and collector’s editions of the game. Voice cast for the upcoming “Call of Duty” Zombies mode announced. Zombies is a mode popularized in the 2008 game “Call of Duty: World at War,” where players take the roles of a random assortment of characters as they defend themselves against hordes of zombies, with the mode becoming harder and harder as time goes on. Since then, we have seen a few different variations of the mode included in sequels. The newest game in the series, “Call of Duty: Black Ops III,” will include a new theme, weapons and characters. At the San Diego Comic-Con Thursday, Heather Graham, Neal McDonough, Ron Perlman, Robert Picardo and Jeff Goldblum were announced as the

voices of the playable characters. “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” will be getting two sets of additional content, which combined is as long as the previous Witcher game, “The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.” “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” is an open-world action game launched in May. It was received extremely well and is the best game to come out this year so far, already selling more than four million copies. Many games receive downloadable content after they are released. Unfortunately, these are usually fairly small. However, some developers go the extra mile and give worthwhile additional experiences to their games. The game’s developer, CD Projekt RED, is planning to release two separate sets of additional content, combined to be approximately 30 hours. According to the game’s director,

Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, the content will be as large as their previous game, “The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.” Compared to the usual content additions, these two expansions are massive. Eighteen minute gameplay trailer of “No Man’s Sky.” The public was finally given an 18 minute gameplay demo of the highly anticipated “No Man’s Sky.” This first-person exploration game, developed by Hello Games, gives each player their own spaceship which can be used to travel between solar systems. Every planet in each solar system is unique and fully explorable. This demo was good because it was not a two or three minute supercut of the game you would see in trailers. This 18 minute demo really gave us a feel of how the game will truly play once it is available to the public.

Amy Schumer based her new comedy ‘Trainwreck’ on the ‘horrible’ feeling of true romance nina Metz | Chicago Tribune In “Trainwreck,” Amy Schumer plays an amped-up version of – well, not quite herself, but someone who shares an awful lot of her biographical details. She is both the movie’s star and screenwriter, and at least some of the comedy draws from her own life. “Saturday Night Live” alum Bill Hader is her love interest, the straight man to her companionable boozehound, and once they start dating she finds herself tottering around New York in a mild-toincreasingly-panicked state of “now what?” Directed by Judd Apatow, the movie surrounds Schumer with a who’s who of comedy, including Colin Quinn, Dave Attell, Mike Birbiglia and current “SNL” cast member Vanessa Bayer. Last month the group performed together in seven cities over eight days, calling their efforts the Trainwreck Comedy Tour. “We’re doing this tour for charity,” Bayer said during their Chicago stop, “but I’m ordering food to my room like you wouldn’t believe because I’m a diva and if I’m not getting paid for this tour, I’m going to get as much free food as possible.” In order to make the Trainwreck Tour schedule work, everyone was flying private. Here’s Bayer: “Oh my God, it most luxurious thing for me in the world. It has ruined flying coach, a hundred percent. You don’t have to go through security, you just get on. And you can use your phone! We went to Canada and instead of going through customs they came on the plane to check our passports. There’s a flight attendant who puts food out for us. There has been some drinking on the plane. A lot of wine. They brought out cheese and crackers and these desserts and stuff, and I’m like, ‘I’d be an idiot if I didn’t eat this stuff.’”

P rovided B y n ews t riBune s ervice

For Schumer, the experience was a little different. She opened up about chartered flights, her grandmother the bootlegger and the origins of “Trainwreck.” Q: Flying private sounds fun but the schedule you’re on is pretty nuts. Is it less glamorous than you anticipated? A: This is work. It’s work with a lot of my favorite people, so it’s amazing and fun _ but it’s also work. Q: You’re not like, “Hey, we’re flying private!” I feel like I should lie and be super sweet about it, but I have been flying private for a couple months now for work. If you’re flying private to just have a blast with your friends, then it probably feels different. Chris Rock has a joke about how women get used to [stuff] quickly. Like, the first time he went to a RitzCarlton with his wife, she was like, “Oh my God!” And then 20 minutes later she’s screaming into the phone:

“Cinnamon toast!” You just get used to stuff fast. It’s not a cool part of people. But I would say the first 10 times I flew private I was like: I cannot believe how amazing this is! This is the best moment of my life! And now I’m like: It’s very convenient. But it’s not fun. It’s like being in a limo, you know what I mean? It’s all relative. The first time, you’re like, “Ooooh, a limo!” And eventually you’re like, “I get nauseous. Do I have to sit in the side seat?” That might sound ungrateful, but it’s true. Barry Mendel, who produced the movie, he always says, “You’re not about the spoils,” and I’m not. I really like working hard. I like doing the show. I like bringing my friends on vacation every year, my girlfriends from high school and my female comic friends, because I want us to be able to make memories. And I’m happy that I’m in a position where I can organize that.

Q: It was just announced that you’re going to open for some of Madonna’s shows on her new tour. A: It’s so funny. OK, so: Chris Rock called me a couple months ago and was like, “Madonna wants your phone number.” And I was like, “Shut ... up,” you know? First of all, I can’t get over that he’s calling me. It’s still weird to me that he’s my friend. And he’s like, “I think she wants you to open for her on her tour.” And I was like, “That is insane.” Like every other person, I’m a huge Madonna fan. Q: Do you think you’ll plan your set differently because the crowd is there to see music? A: Yeah. I’ll do the best I can do, but I don’t think it’ll be a good setup for her! At all! I’ve seen comedians open for musicians and I think it’s better if it’s a band. Q: Frank Sinatra used to have comics open for him.

A: Yeah, and Aimee Mann has comics open for her a lot. Doesn’t make sense, but don’t tell Madonna that. I’m just excited to see her show afterwards. I feel like I’m allowed to stand at the side of the stage and sneak in requests every night. Q: Your character in the movie is a bit of drinker, which is kind of funny in light of the fact that in real life your grandmother used to be a bootlegger. A: Yes, that’s true. Her liquor store is still open: It’s called Schumer’s Liquors on 54th Street, in Midtown Manhattan. She was a bootlegger and then after Prohibition she was the seventh person to get her liquor license back, so she was very proud of that. She was friends with Tennessee Williams. She died a couple years ago, but she was very funny and she had amazing stories. Q: How did the idea for “Trainwreck” come about? A: Judd and I met years and years ago. We just really got along and he was like, “If you ever have an idea for a movie ...” and I was like, “I have an idea!” So we talked about it and he was like: “That’s cool, you should write that.” Q: From what I’ve read, that’s not the movie you ended up making. What was that first idea you talked about? A: I can’t say because we might still make it. It was a romantic comedy – or more of a friendship comedy, actually. And then time went by and I kind of had a new reality of what was happening in my life. We would talk a lot about why my relationships haven’t lasted. And I was falling in love at the time and I was scared out of my mind and he was like, “You should write about that.” So I wrote the script that became “Trainwreck.”

Dixon Springs State Park was named after William Dixon, one of the first Euro-American settlers to build in the Area. Dixon obtained a school land warrant from Governor Augustus C. French in 1848.

Exploring Dixon Springs State Park Off the beaten path Photos by Written by Sarah Jay Holland Niebrugge This week once again started with a hiking trip that did not work out. Our first stop was Heron Pond, but when we walked to the head of the Todd Fink-Heron Pond Trail right outside Vienna, the entire walkway was flooded and held no chance of a successful adventure. The trail starts with a bridge over the Cache River and leads to a floating boardwalk over Heron Pond. The amount of rainfall we have had in this area lately flooded the trail and boardwalk. The next spot on our trip was Dixon Springs State Park in Golconda, located in Shawnee National Forest. The area was beautiful to say the least. Cabins were scattered around the wooded area and stone formations lined the creek following the road. Chuck Hughes, a park ranger for the Department of Natural Resources, said the cabins are used for Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and church groups. “People tell us how peaceful and beautiful the park is,” Hughes said. “The community members that visit are great about picking up after themselves and keeping the park beautiful.” The park has a class B camping area, meaning it has electricity and is vehicle accessible. There are also 10 primitive camping sites. Campsites with electricity and vehicular access are $14 per day while primitive and tent campsites are $6 per day. Youth group camping is $2 a day per person with a $20 minimum and organized adult groups

are $4 a day per person with a $40 minimum. All reservations must be made seven days in advance of arrival with a $5 fee, according to the Department of Natural Resources website. The fee is refundable if the reservation is cancelled three days before it is scheduled. The park, opened in 1943, also has a public pool for visitors to cool off in. The pool was opened in 1956 and had its last renovation in 1985, funded by the state. Jay Holland and I skipped the pool however, and went straight to climb on the rock formations.

We parked by a few of the cabins and found ourselves next to a small wooden bridge built over a short waterfall flowing off of a tall rock damn. Though not as enthralling as other parks in the area such as Garden of the Gods, it was a pretty view. The rest of our time was spent walking around the cabins and climbing on the rocky terrain. Unfortunately, the day we made our trip, we did not find anyone else in the same area, but from past experience, Holland said sometimes there are people all over the park. There is so much more to do in this park than

just hiking. Hughes said the park is perfect for hiking, picnicking and day trips. The Department of Natural Resources listed the park to have two hiking trails, two basketball courts, three horseshoe pits, two volleyball courts and an archery range. I found the park to be a place children would really enjoy because of the pool, jungle gym and hiking. Dixon Springs State Park was a great place to visit. Though not my favorite spot we have been to, it held a lot of interesting activities.

The 801-acre area that Dixon Springs State Park falls in was created by a giant block of rock resting on a fault line in Northwest Pope County.

Charles Walker Band talks neo-funk, stand-up comedy and the saxophone Chase Myers | @chasemyers_DE Charles Walker Band, a funky, soul-infused quintet from Milwaukee, will be energizing the crowd at 7 p.m. Thursday outside Shryock Auditorium for the Sunset Concert Series. The group consists of Charles Walker on saxophone and keyboard, Porsche Carmon on vocals and congas, Nasty Nate P on guitar, Brian “The Sledgehammer” Kennedy on bass and Josh Mchatten on drums. The band mixes deep gospel inspiration and positive, uplifting lyrics to provide audiences with a high-energy performance. The Daily Egyptian had the opportunity to talk with Walker before his performance to discuss the band.

Q: A:

How did the group start?

I started the band 12 years ago at the end of this month when I moved down to Milwaukee. The current members, Porsche, who sings and does congas, has been in the band for about five years and the rhythm section has been in the band for about a half a year.

Q: A:

You started playing the saxophone at a young age. What drew you to the instrument?

Its actually kind of funny, I didn’t want to play saxophone. I actually remember they kind of paraded in the band students for us and

had them all play their different instruments before we got the chance to select our instruments and when I saw the trombone I said, “I want to play trombone.” When it was my turn to talk to the band instructor she asked, “do you want to play trombone?” She gave me a trombone mouthpiece and I tried to blow into that. And then she said, “You know what, let me give you a saxophone mouthpiece because I just have a feeling.” She told me that I had a good embouchure and my mouth was shaped well for it. I was like “I don’t want to play saxophone, I want to play trombone,” and she said, “No, you’ve got to play saxophone.” I’m glad she told me to do that but at the time I didn’t want to.

Q: A:

How long did it take you to warm up to the instrument?

It wasn’t very long. I remember within the first year, I was practicing like everyday … and pretty much as soon as I brought one home, I liked playing it.

Q: A:

What is the band’s writing process like?

I do most of the musical writing and the arranging. I will usually come to the band and say, “Here’s my idea.” I’ll play a bass line on keys and then I’ll kind of tell the drummer what I want him to play and the guitar player to play with that part. It’s still kind

P rovided P hoto

of an organic process because the bass player will hear what I play and then approach it like a bass player would, so he will kind of tweak it and the guitar and drums will be the same way. As far as the melodies to the songs go, sometimes Porsche writes and sometimes we have other people write. I write a lot of the lyrics, but some of them are co-written between Porsche and myself.

Q: A:

Is it true you did stand-up comedy? Yeah, I did stand-up comedy and comedy sports as well when I was

in high school and college.

Q: A:

Does that help your onstage presence?

It helps in a couple of ways because I also did acting, so it helps with getting people to understand that a show is a show and not just standing there and playing instruments. There’s lots of movement. As far as improvisation goes, it helps especially when something goes wrong, like if the guitarist breaks a string or the drummer has to retune a drum or something like that, to be able to talk to the

crowd so there is not a lot of dead space while the musician is fixing something that they need to fix.

Q: A:

How would you describe what genre the band falls into?

I think neo-funk is the best way to describe it, because it definitely has some funk influences, but it also has a lot of other influences. Melodically, there are a lot of pop influences in the melodies of the songs. Yeah, we call it neo-funk because it is kind of rooted in that funk soul thing, but there are other influences in there as well.

“Minions” settles for being average JaCob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE It is often said characters of fiction embark on a quest. In this case, our characters are three unlikely, little, yellow heroes who embark on a quest to save their species by finding a new villain to serve. “Minions” (Rated PG; 91 min) directed by Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin, works as an overall decent children’s animation comedy, but fails to make any waves or set any new or interesting standards for the industry. The story finds Kevin, Bob and Stuart, voiced by Pierre Coffin, leaving their family of Minions behind to search for a new master in hopes of ultimately saving their species. In this prequel to the “Despicable Me” series, Kevin, Bob and Stuart travel across the globe to 1960s New York and soon to Orlando to Villain-Con, a gathering of the world’s supervillains. At Villain-Con, the Minions win a contest to work for the world’s top supervillain, Scarlet Overkill, voiced by Sandra Bullock. Now the Minions must journey with Scarlet

to her home in London where they meet her groovy, laid-back inventor husband, Herb, voiced by Jon Hamm. As their first assignment, Scarlet instructs the Minions to steal the royal crown from Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, voiced by Jennifer Saunders. However, in the process, Bob manages to pull a sword from a rock at a historic monument using one of Herb’s inventions and, as the “Sword in the Stone”

P rovided b y n eWs t ribune s erviCe

legend dictates, becomes the current King of England. Angered by their apparent betrayal, Scarlet sets out for revenge on the Minions and will stop at nothing to steal the crown for herself. One of the pitfalls of “Minions” is its story does little to make it standout. While the film is still entertaining, the majority of the humor results from

Minions getting into ridiculous situation after ridiculous situation. While this type of humor is not entirely unsatisfying to most viewers or to its target age range, there needs to be something to set the film apart from other comedies. Another pitfall contributing to this lack of more satisfying humor is its characters often speak in indiscernible nonsense. While what the characters want to say can be easily deduced, there is a void between this type of language and everyday speech, which prevents the film from achieving sharp, concise dialogue essential in many comedies. Honestly, I went into the theater and enjoyed this film as I think many children and a number of their parents will as well. No, it is not a great animation classic you are likely to want to watch regularly, or one you will want your kids to play repeatedly in your home. If you have yet to see “Inside Out,” which is still in theaters, your money would be much better spent viewing the new Pixar film. “Minions” will likely to make you laugh, at least a few times, but does little more than settle for being a typical kids movie.
