Weather delays Quinn’s visit to Marion RYAN VOYLES Daily Egyptian Chicago storms have delayed Gov. Pat Quinn from signing a bill that would begin major project development in Marion until today. More than a hundred people filed into the Operating Engineers Union Local 318 Hall Wednesday afternoon,
ZZZ GDLO\HJ\SWLDQ FRP
where Quinn was scheduled to appear and sign a bill which would approve the use of bonds to begin construction on a multimillion-dollar development on the north side of Marion. But heavy rain and thunderstorms in Chicago grounded the governor’s plane, forcing officials to delay the event until 11 a.m. today in the same location. A mega-retail and entertainment
area is proposed in the plan, which is estimated to cost $378 million. Supporters of the bill have said the development has the potential to bring in thousands of jobs and millions in revenue to the southern Illinois region.

A living room to celebrate living CHRIS MCGREGOR Daily Egyptian Setting up a living room in 15 minutes has become a weekly event for a group of friends. For nearly a decade, a living room including a love seat, a coffee table, a refrigerator, carpet and lamps has appeared outdoors at every Sunset Concert. The living room group started from an idea Wayne Lukowski had while attending school at SIU. “Me and a friend had brought a recliner to a Sunset Concert,� said Lukowski, of Du Quoin. “We talked about that story and thought we needed to do this again.� The original furniture was assembled through a donation from a Murphysboro landlord who wanted to get rid of extra furniture. From the first incarnation eight years ago, the group has grown in size and modified its living room. Lukowski said the amount of enthusiasm from everyone in the group and the larger community encouraged them to continue their quest for the ultimate lounging experience. Geoff Ritter, of Carbondale, said he used to carry a cooler and sit on that, but the upgrade to a recliner has been welcomed. “Where else can you go every weekend and have a live band play basically in your living room with a whole slew of good friends?� Lukowski said. He said their group of friends enjoys the relaxed atmosphere of their own home that their portable living room creates. He said his philosophy is to be laid back. “Everyone brings lawn chairs, blankets or whatever makes them comfortable,� Ritter said. “We just prefer the living room. We just want to relax and have nice comfortable furniture to do it on.� The group’s ability to set up their living room in under 15 minutes is a testament to their attendance, said Ritter. “We’ve made every concert with the living room for the past eight (years),� he said. He said they keep tarps with them at every concert in case of rain. Lukowski said the group’s relaxed philosophy mandated a mobile room. “We have gotten it down to a science,� he said. “With the editions we can set it up in 15 minutes or less with two people.� The living room is easily maneuverable as it is all set on wheels.
TOP: Victoria Rabacchi, 6, spins in anticipation before playing another round of limbo Thursday with Eric Lynch, 11, and Wayne Lukowski, owner of the portable living room at the Sunset Concert. Lukowski said he and his friends have brought the carpet, couch, armchairs and refrigerator to Shryock or Turley Park for the last eight years. “Otherwise it sits all year,� he said. “This is our ‘Sunset’ living room.� RIGHT: Everyone who enters Lukowski’s living room is asked one small thing — please take off your shoes. The carpet shows little wear or stains, indicating that the request has paid off. DIANA SOLIWON DAILY EGYPTIAN

Green fund committee designates fall funding Wind turbine, green roof leads list of green funded projects LAUREN LEONE Daily Egyptian The Sustainability Council Green Fund Committee has collected more than $125,600 to fund sustainability projects for the fall semester. The $125,600 will go toward nine projects while the other eight approved proposals will have to wait for the committee to receive another round of money from the
fee before the projects can be funded, said Ryan Klopf, chairman of the Green Fund Committee. The committee is roughly $377,000 short of the total requested money from all 17 projects, according to committee reports. Klopf said the council — which consists of students, faculty and staff — weighs several factors when going over proposal applications. “We look at sustainability impact, education value,� he said. “We look
at whether or not the project has matching resources from another agency, if they’ve already taken steps to find other means of support.� Some of the projects have already received money from the committee in the spring semester when it levied out roughly $151,000 to 17 projects. Two main projects — the wind turbine and the green roof for the Agriculture Building — will receive $64,000 and $20,000, respectively. The turbine received $25,000 last semester for preliminary planning, assessment, zoning and permitting issues, but will apply the fall award for construction purposes, Klopf said.
Once the wind turbine is built, it will reduce carbon dioxide omissions annually by 3,637 metric tons and sulfur dioxide by 22.29 metric tons, according to the Physical Plant’s funding proposal. The proposal also estimated net savings for coal-generated electricity with the new wind turbine to be $365,000 annually. The green roof installation project would make the Agriculture Building the first facility on campus to have a green roof. Plants would be grown on the roof of the building to reduce stream pollution, erosion, and heating and cooling costs, Klopf said. He also said the green
roof would have a prolonged lifespan and create a habitat for wildlife. “It will be used for education and research purposes,� Klopf said. “It can function as a prototype for future green roofs.� Klopf said the green roof project received funding and support from other sources — the Physical Plant helped plan the roof design, the College of Agriculture Sciences donated $10,000 and Green Roof Solutions — a green roof construction company — committed $5,000 worth of materials to the project.

RESIDENTS FIND SUMMER HOT SPOT INDOORS Jaylen Price, 8, of Carbondale, waits with his body covered for his brother to exit the swimming pool. Activity at the Edward J. Shea Natatorium in the Student Recreation Center has been constant so far this summer in part because of camps offered by the center. EVAN DAVIS DAILY EGYPTIAN
Corrections In the Wednesday edition of the Daily Egyptian, the cutline for the story “Greek Row construction to occur before demolition” should have said, “The buildings are 50 years old and will be demolished because deferred maintenance issues and layout problems make demolition the most sensible option.” The Daily Egyptian regrets this error.
In the Wednesday edition of the Daily Egyptian, the story “Associate director’s family begins recovery” should have said “Family members of Matt Baughman, the associate director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, underwent surgery Sunday and Monday in recovery from injuries sustained in a headon car collision Sunday.” It also should have said “Angela Baughman was sent to Washington County Hospital & Rural Clinic before being released to Memorial Hospital of Carbondale.” The Daily Egyptian regrets these errors.

17th Street’s Mike Mills on ‘Today’ DIANA SOLIWON Daily Egyptian Mike Mills (left) and his apprentice and pitmaster, Phillip Heern, show off some of the pork ribs they have become famous for in a portrait shot for the “South of 64: A Weekend in Murphysboro” multimedia workshop Oct. 2 to Oct. 4.
Mike Mills, owner of 17th Street Bar & Grill in Murphysboro, will cook up barbeque with Al Roker of NBC’s “Today Show” around 8 a.m. today in Memphis as part of Roker’s “Lend a Hand Today” segment. The series allows Roker to travel the country and fundraise for various charities in each town. Roker told The Commercial Appeal that the Memphis segment would raise money for the effects of the massive flooding in Nashville, Tenn., from May 2 to May 4. Media critics have berated news outlets for not giving more coverage to the disaster that killed more than 30 people and caused more than $1 billion in damage, according to a Newsweek report. Instead, a Time Square bombing attempt and the Gulf oil spill dominated the headlines.

Paul Restivo, the sustainability council chair and director for the Center of Environmental Health and Safety, said the possibilities are broadened when a project receives funding from other resources as opposed to depending only on the Green Fund. “It stretches the dollars and increases the impact,” he said. Every dollar collected for the Green Fund originates from the $10 Green Fee — a student fee paid on a semester basis. In 2007, the Eco Dawgs — a student organization that supports campus sustainability — organized a campuswide referendum where 73 percent of students supported the proposed Green Fee, according to the sustainability council’s website.

Tasha Kimbrough, a junior studying cinema photography, falls in line with the 73 percent who supported the initial referendum and said she doesn’t mind the Green Fee. “That’s potato chip money to me. I think $10 is a small fee for such a great project,” she said. While there are some proposals the Green Fund cannot support in the fall, Restivo said project ideas could still be submitted for consideration in the fall at this time. “Hopefully one of these days, SIUC will be seen as the greenest university in Illinois. We’re in the most naturally beautiful part of the state,” Restivo said.
Collectively the group said they have made new friends via the living room. Kelly Rabacchi, of Marion, said she enjoys being able to bring her children out to the concert and loves that her children have the ability to play and explore the outdoors in a welcoming community. “My kids get the luxury of being in a safe environment,” she said. “I would have never known these new friends if it were not for the living room group.” She said the living room group brings friends together to create a bigger family. Lukoswki shared her sentiments. “Not only is the community welcoming us into their home, we are welcoming them into ours,” he said.

Saluki Insider Slamball. I think it would be awesome watching guys bounce on trampolines and clothesline each other as they go for 720 alley oops. Anyone who was lucky enough to watch the short-lived sport can attest to its masterful combination of football, basketball and magical trampoline trickery. You can never get too much of a good thing, so I say bring on 10 hours of some serious slamball.

“The most important part in comparison between the winter and the summer is that in the winter we really emphasize the weight room and getting faster,” Nessland said. “In the summer it is the same priorities but we also need to prepare for the season and camp more than anything.” He said training right now is heavily based on conditioning for camp, which starts Aug. 5. Nessland said it is important during these workouts to watch the players and look for signs of injury. He said he knows guys are dragging, when they have bumps and bruises or soreness, which are strong indica-
tors of being overworked. “The best thing that I like to do is talk to some of the harder-trained older guys that I can trust and see how they feel,” he said. “If I can trust that they aren’t trying to get out of something and I can have a good discussion with them, then I can make a decision on whether or not to back off a little bit.” He said heat exhaustion is another problem to look out for, especially when the team conditions on the field during some of the hottest times in the day. “Hamstrings are really a big issue especially in the summer because it is so hot out and sometimes players don’t hydrate well enough,” Nessland said. “Hamstrings are usually the first to go if we are sprinting all

American John Isner and Frenchman Nicolas Mahut are contributing to a historic Wimbledon as they play out the longest match in tennis history. The match will head into day three today with more than 10 hours of elapsed playing time. What other sporting event would you like to see go 10-plus hours?
I would definitely like to see the Cardinals play the Mets for 40 innings. I think it would be awesome to see every player used up so they can start grabbing fans from both teams to finish out the game. It would be sweet as a fan to say I actually played for the Cards.
If I had to watch a sport for 10 hours it would be baseball. Earlier this season the Cardinals and Brewers went 20 innings and it was interesting to see who the pitchers were going to be. The Cardinals even had to put in an outfielder and infielder on the mound to pitch in the later innings.

the time and it is our job to be able to fix that before it gets worse.” Nessland said when camp comes around, the team has what is called an acclamation period of five days where they practice without pads so the team can get used to the heat. Nessland also mentioned that, after the acclamation period, the team alternates between having two practices in a day and one the next day. Nessland said the goal of the camp is to work and maintain an optimal level of fitness. He said camp is also a great opportunity to work with the injured players so they stay in game shape.

NATIONALS CONTINUED FROM

The pitching staff isn’t a complete failure — it does boast Livan Hernandez and Tyler Clippard who are solid complements to Strasburg. The Nationals also have quality players in Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman as well as veteran leadership in Ivan Rodriguez and Cristian Guzman just to name a few, but they need Strasburg — and eventually Harper — to emerge as stars to create a complete package. I am sure the Nationals didn’t think getting Strasburg was going to immediately affect their chances of getting a championship, but they don’t want to waste
all the losing seasons they suffered through to get him by losing more games. The new era for the Washington Nationals is starting to come together and it will be built around Strasburg and Harper. Strasburg is exactly what the Nationals need right now and is the kind of hard working, dominant player that will continue to go out day after day and raise the bar not just for his team, but for the whole league. If he can raise it high enough, he may win a championship — and he may win it with the Nationals.

Donovan injury-time goal puts U.S. in 2nd round RONALD BLUM The Associated Press PRETORIA , S out h Afr i c a — Over and over, everything seemed to go against them. A referee took away a win last week, and a linesman disallowed another goal Wednesday. Now there was just 3½ minutes left in their World Cup, just that much remaining until all the doubts about American soccer would rise again. But then, in one of the most stunning turnarounds in World Cup history, Landon Donovan scored on a lightning fast counterattack 45 seconds into 4 minutes of injury time. With the most amazing late-game moment in American soccer, the United States beat Algeria 1-0 and reached the World Cup’s second round. “This team embodies what the American spirit is about,” Donovan said. “We had a goal disallowed the other night, We had another good goal disallowed tonight. But we just keep going. And I think that’s what people admire so much about Americans. And I’m damn proud.” Former President Bill Clinton lingered in the locker room for 45 minutes after the game to congratulate the players. When Donovan scored, raucous cheers erupted on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and even in White House auditoriums in Washington, D.C., according to e-mails sent to U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati. “That’s probably going to capture more people’s attention than if we won the game 3-0 and it was easy,” American goalkeeper Tim Howard said. “That emotion, that passion is

his team embodies what the American spirit is about. We had a goal disallowed the other night, We had another good goal disallowed tonight. But we just keep going. And I think that’s what people admire so much about Americans. And I’m damn proud.
what American sports fans thrive on.” The United States won its first World Cup match in eight years and finished atop its first-round group for the first time since the original World Cup in 1930. With a quick turnaround, the Americans play Ghana on Saturday night in Rustenburg for a spot in the quarterfinals. Ghana won the final match of the opening round against the Americans to knock them out of the tournament in Germany four years ago. Clint Dempsey appeared to score in the 21st minute off the rebound of Herculez Gomez’s shot. But the goal was called offside. Dempsey’s 12-yard shot off Jozy Altidore’s cross clanked off the far post in the 57th minute, and when the rebound came back to Dempsey, he put the follow shot wide to the near side. “You shake it out of your head and keep on fighting,” Dempsey said. Knowing England was ahead of Slovenia at the half, the U.S. put in offensive substitutes, first Benny Feilhaber at the start of the second half, then Edson Buddle in the 64th and finally DaMarcus Beasley in the 81st. “The second half wasn’t a soccer game — it was more like ... a track meet. Back and forth, back and forth, both teams are so desperate,” Howard said. Howard started the counterattack that led to the goal when he
— Landon Dunovan USA soccer forward knocked down an Algerian shot and rolled the ball to Donovan on the right flank. Donovan moved upfield and passed ahead to Jozy Altidore just inside the 18-yard box. “Landon kind of knows me a little bit,” Howard said. “He breaks out when I get the ball and it’s kind of easy to find him.” Altidore’s right-footed cross was flicked by Dempsey as he crashed into goalkeeper Rais Bolhi. “I couldn’t chip it over the keeper, so I just tried to hit it under him — hit it hard,” Dempsey said. As Dempsey tumbled over the goalkeeper, the ball rolled back out. In ran Donovan, who with a rightfooted shot from 7 yards, slammed the ball into the lower left corner. It was the first injury-time goal that lifted a nation into the knockout phase since Uruguay’s Daniel Fonseca scored against South Korea in 1990, according to STATS LLC. “The moment kind of slowed down for me. It was as much a reaction as anything,” Donovan said. “I kind of hesitated. I didn’t know if he was going to play it across the goal or try to cut it back to me. Once he played it in front of the goal, I didn’t sprint, but I kept my run going and once it popped off the goalie, then I picked up a little to get there.” After his U.S. record 44th international goal, Donovan joyously ran to the corner flag, sliding headfirst in a belly flop, and his teammates
ran down the touchline to mob him. “A lot of kisses. A little uncomfortable,” Donovan said. “It’s something I’ll have imbedded in my mind forever.” When the game ended, Donovan kicked the final ball into the stands. “Someone got a nice souvenir,” he said. He was in tears and even 30 minutes later his eyes watered and voice cracked as he talked about the goal. The field long empty, American fans remained in the stands, still cheering, waving the Stars and Stripes and blowing vuvuzelas. As a 20-year-old in 2002, Donovan scored two goals and became a star. But expectations became crushing in 2006, went he went scoreless. With his fourth World Cup goal, Donovan tied Bert Patenaude (1930) as the American leader. “I’ve been through a lot in the last four years,” Donovan said with tears in his eyes. “And I’m so glad it culminated this way. It makes me believe in good in the world. When you try to do things the right way, that’s good to see them get rewarded.” The United States finished a World Cup game with a shutout for just the fifth time in 28 matches (716-5) and topped Group C with 5 points. England (1-0-2), which beat Slovenia 1-0 moments earlier, also had five points but finished second because the U.S. scored four goals to two for the English. Slovenia (1-1-1)
was third with four points, missing advancing because of Donovan’s heroics. Algeria (0-2-1) was last with one point. The Desert Foxes were making their third World Cup appearance following first-round elimination in 1982 and 1986. Algeria was the fourth African team to exit the first World Cup on African soil, following Cameroon, Nigeria and host South Africa. “I think that Africa is on the right road,” coach Rabah Saadane said. “What we need in our national teams and squads is stability and a lot of discipline, and I think in a few years time, Africa will have among the best teams in the world.” Dempsey needed four stitches to close a cut on his lip. It was yet another late goal for the United States, which came from behind to tie England 1-1 in its opener, then rallied from a two-goal halftime deficit against Slovenia and would have won had Maurice Edu’s 85th-minute goal been allowed. In six of the final 10 qualifiers, the Americans gave up the first goals — but they bounced back to win three of those games and tie two others. “That was a really special feeling,” U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. “These guys put a lot into it, they never quit. “We’re proud. We finished first in our group. Five points, didn’t lose a match. So we’re ready.” Howard bounced up and down in elation after the game. Feilhaber took a water bottle and sprayed his teammates, and it felt as good as champagne. “We’re not done yet,” Donovan said. “We believe, man. We’re alive, baby.”

Veteran Salukis set pace in summer workouts
RYAN SIMONIN Daily Egyptian While Saluki fans are familiar with upperclassmen leading the SIU football team on the field, the team’s strength and conditioning coach said the juniors and seniors are just as important in the weight room. Jared Nessland, head strength and conditioning coach, said the upperclassmen have been great at pushing the team through difficult workouts, even in the summer heat. “With this team we really have a lot more leadership than we have had in the past two years during the summer,� Nessland said. Senior safety Mike McElroy said pushing through the practices, especially in the heat, has been a big component in building team unity. He said all the hard work right now would pay dividends for the team when it heads out onto the field. “The core group of leaders in the 2007 class have been really vocal during the workouts and have been leading by example,� McElroy said. “These workouts are also building our mental toughness which people will see when we are out there in the fourth quarter this fall.� Fellow senior and wide receiver Joe Allaria said the workouts and conditioning are great for the freshmen players. “It is good for our new guys — the guys who haven’t seen the field much at all because they are working through the heat,� Allaria said. “Come fall they aren’t going to

Strasburg creates sweet opportunity for Washington Nationals S IMONIN’S
When Stephen Strasburg spotlight came to Major League Baseball on June 8, he brought a media circus with him. Now that Strasburg is in the league, he is starting to make it look like a real circus
with all the batters he’s made look like clowns. The 21-year-old right-hander for the Washington Nationals has started in three games and already owns the record for most strikeouts through the first three major league starts. He has mowed down 32 batters with his seemingly endless supply of go-to pitches.
It is still early in his career, but it is hard to deny Strasburg’s ability to dominate batters and control the game. His earned run average sits at 1.86 — which is phenomenal — even though he has only worked 19.1 innings. Despite his impressive statistics, Strasburg cannot carry the Nationals out of last place in the National League East standings by himself. If
the Nationals want to take advantage of Strasburg’s amazing gift, they need to put more talent around him and soon. Once Strasburg’s rookie contract expires, it will be hard for Washington to match the dollars financial powerhouses such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will throw at him. The Nationals have taken some
steps in that direction as they recently drafted outfielder Bryce Harper with the first overall pick. Harper has received Strasburg-like hype and the Nationals hope those two players will be the first pieces for a solid pitching staff and sound batting lineup. Please see NATIONALS | 4
