Construction crews are at their busiest period of the year on campus, working on 34 separate projects across the Universi-ty’s grounds.

Some of these construction projects involve putting the fi nishing touches on longer standing efforts, like the $60 mil-lion renovation of Lincoln Hall.

The restoration that began in 2009 with millions of dollars of renovation funds coming from the state is coming to a close, as faculty and staff from the College of LAS have started settling into the renovat-ed building. The move-in started May 14, and staff are currently making the prepa-rations to ensure that the hall is ready for students in the fall as construction crews fi nish up the fi rst-fl oor classrooms.

LAS Associate Dean for Administration Matthew Tomaszewski said that the dean’s offi ce is already fully moved in, and other departments, like Sociology and the col-lege’s student offi ce, will be getting settled throughout the summer.

“It’s been a long process, but it’s been a good one. ... The improvements are fantas-tic,” Tomaszewski said. “The classrooms are brought up to the standard you’d expect for construction in the 21st century.”

The renovation includes new electronics as part of “smart” technology in the refur-bished classrooms, as well as mechanical and electrical upgrades to air conditioning

and plumbing. Tomaszewski said that pend-ing improvements to the building will also include a cafe on Lincoln Hall’s lower fl oor.

Still absent from the main entrance of the hall is the eponymous bust of Abraham Lincoln. There is an empty alcove awaiting the recently refurbished bronze sculpture of the former president that is currently housed at the Spurlock Museum.

“It’s a fabulous clean space. Despite the dust, it feels much better,” said Julie Woolsey, assistant to the head of Sociolo-gy, while moving into the new offi ce space on the building’s third fl oor. “It’s coming together.”

And while some buildings are opening up for use in the fall, a few are coming down. Another piece of the Six Pack — Garner Hall — is set to be demolished later this month to make way for the new look of the Stanley O. Ikenberry Com-mons dormitories. Forbes Hall will be demolished next summer.

University Facilities and Services spokesman Andy Blacker said the fi rst phase of that project, manifest in Nugent Residence Hall, was completed in April, and the second of three residence halls should be completed next May. The fi nal building will enter the designing stage this fall. For that phase, the Universi-ty board of trustees recently signed on Turner Construction Company at their May 31 meeting to fi nish the $80 mil-lion project.

The hazardous materials spill at the Insti-tute of Genomic Biology on Memorial Day caused a stir on social media sites in the following days, drawing concern for the safety of students and faculty on campus. It even inspired talk of an impending “zombie epidemic” due to its coincidence of timing with other news.

University offi cials have since deter-mined, however, that the incident was minor and no cause for worry, but they took prop-er precautions due to the unknown nature of the chemicals involved. An Illini-Alert was issued at roughly 10:30 p.m. on May 28 , asking individuals around the building to evacuate and seek shelter .

“The Illini-Alert alarmed some people. It wasn’t meant to do that,” said Michael Dil-ley, Urbana fi re chief . “There’s a balance to

strike between informing people too much or too little, but the Illini-Alert was meant as a cautious measure.”

The University’s response to the incident refl ects undergoing changes to laboratory safety procedures due to a national trend of increasing academic lab-related deaths and injuries, according to Peter Ashbrook, director of the Division of Research Safe-ty . Generally, it seems these incidents are fi re-related, he added. In December 2011, charges were fi led against the University of California and a professor at UCLA for the death of a research assistant over three years ago . The assistant died due to severe burns during a test of an air-reactive chemi-cal’s explosive nature when it burst to fl ame .

“This (incident at IGB) wasn’t on that kind of level, but the frustrating thing about lab accidents, like the one at UCLA, is that they ... did something they shouldn’t have, in ret-rospect,” Ashbrook said. “My concern is that most of laboratory incidents that cause lab-oratory damage or injure people are most-ly when fl ammable liquids are involved, so we’re putting most of our efforts there.”

Several flammable materials were

involved in the hazardous materials spill, including butanol, acetic anhydride, dichlo-romethane, aldehyde and acetone. Ashbrook said these chemicals were stored in four-liter bottles and vaporize quickly. The large volume of the spill and fumes it was giv-ing off made the lab and surrounding area prone to danger, but it was under control quickly as soon as doors were shut and the fume hoods were turned on, according to Dilley. The hazardous materials spill at IGB was the University’s largest in recent history, according to University Police Lt. Todd Short .

“That could have gotten out of hand. We’re really fortunate that didn’t happen,” Ashbrook said. “Fire hazards are very seri-ous and can happen very quickly, and it’s been a focal point of our trying to reinvent our safety protocols.”

In April, Robert Easter, former Inter-im Vice Chancellor for Research, sent an email to academic professionals who oversee research laboratories, highlight-ing both the UCLA incident and another at Texas Tech University in 2010, in which a researcher lost three fi ngers and suffered

burns from an explosion . In the email, Eas-ter also emphasized heads of laboratories to maintain a “safety culture” and said the Division of Research Safety would “review campus laboratory safety poli-cies and develop metrics to assess labora-tory safety.”

Ashbrook said there has been a turnover in many of the division’s positions, giving them the opportunity to look into the lab safety program with more scrutiny. In the past six months, the Division of Research Safety has been working through policies at the School of Chemical Sciences and a few other departments, on top of their regular annual inspections of campus labs.

Reviewing and implementing safety protocol will be no swift matter, however, Ashbrook said; it will require comprehen-sive, long-term analysis and not immediate, refl ex responses to single-time accidents.

Merry Ann’s Diner owner Tony Ponomis is one of five people who have filed an applica-tion to fill Kyle Harrison’s Champaign City Council seat. Harrison, the current District 3 representative, is scheduled to resign on June 15 due to plans to move into a new home outside of his district. The deadline to apply for the seat was noon on June 1.

Other candidates that applied besides Ponomis include former council member Vic McIntosh, retired Tolono school teacher Lynn Anderson, criminal justice instructor Dustin Heuerman and home construction owner Barbara Kenny-Langendorf. All five candidates will make statements to the city council on June 12, and a final decision will be made on June 19. The Daily Illini caught up with Pomonis and asked the diner own-er about his intentions behind running for city council.

After driving into the parking lot of Merry Ann’s on South Neil Street, in Champaign, you’ll be lucky to find a spot to fit your vehi-cle. Inside the diner is packed throughout the year with Urbana-Champaign locals and college students alike and is conveniently open 24 hours a day. There are two other Merry Ann’s Diners in the Urbana-Cham-paign area, one located downtown Cham-paign on East Main Street and another on Oregon Street in Urbana. Ponomis is owner of the three bustling diners and announced his plans to run for the soon-to-be-empty city council seat last month.

If elected, Ponomis would like to work to maintain Champaign’s AAA credit rating and said that being elected to city council has been a lifelong dream.

“The city has a AAA credit rating, which I think is stellar, and I would like to extend that as a member of the small business com-munity,” Ponomis said. “I think I know how to budget appropriately for lean months and also what to do if we have very robust months. For instance, if we have a great weekend on graduation weekend and our coffers are filled, we don’t necessarily turn around and spend that money on Monday or Tuesday. Storms rarely come from the direction in which we expect them, and it’s important to have a buffer between you and no-man’s land. I think it’s important to inject that into the city budget. I’m excited to join the city council. To be honest with you, it’s a culmination of a lifelong dream.”

The diversity of District 3 is something that Ponomis believes should be an impor-tant focus of the city council.

“District 3 is very diverse spatially and demographically,” Ponomis said. “I think that some feel that certain sectors of the pop-ulation are better represented than others, so I think it’s important for me to position myself and to be accessible to all segments of the population, which is very important for District 3 because District 3 is so spread out.”

Ponomis added that his job allows him to consistently remain available, allow-ing him flexibility to help people whenever

necessary.“One of the things that I look forward to

doing is being available because I work in the public eye,” Ponomis said. “If anyone has any issues or concerns and they want a con-duit, I’m there for them. I work seven days a week. I’m cooking eggs and cleaning dishes, so they can reach out to me if they need to.”

Business experience and philanthropic experience are two credentials that Pono-mis believes makes him well-suited to rep-resent the people of District 3.

“Besides my business experience, I have some philanthropic experience with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Champaign Coun-ty. I’m on the board. I was elected to be an officer of that board after I sat on it for 10 months,” Ponomis said. “I’m also on the alumni board of the University of Illinois. It’s a seven person board. I’m the young-est person by 20 years. I have some experi-ence being on boards and sharing different committees.”

Although he has no previous experience in municipal government, Ponomis said that he is running for city council in order to change that, so he can serve the people of Champaign. He believes that his self-deter-mination and good work ethic would make him a productive member of the city council.

“I have a certain knowledge of self-deter-mination,” he said. “My father once instruct-ed me that you’re only as good as the last day that you worked. If you tanked the last day or if you act like a bum, then you are bum. One thing that I’ve always had with

me throughout my life is a desire or a work ethic to perform at the most optimal level.”

Ponomis cited his experience at further-ing causes that he believes in as something that will transition into helping him work on the behalf of Champaign citizens as well.

“I really aggressively seek out challenges and attempt to further causes that I believe in,” he said. “A good example is in 2008, I petitioned successfully Champaign Unit School District 4 to become fiscally trans-parent ... I gave a four minute speech to the school board, after which, they voted unani-mously to publish their check register online. I have a certain amount of success when it comes to working alongside or with govern-ments as a citizen, and now I want to trans-form that energy into actually working on the behalf of citizens.”

CHICAGO — Just before the board of trustees broke for lunch, over 50 health care service workers at the Univer-sity’s College of Medicine staged a rally in the rain, asking for a new contract.

Board chairman Christopher Kennedy acknowledged the protest, speaking shortly with leadership from the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU. The group rep-resents over 500 workers who were on a three-day strike, which began Wednesday.

According to the SEIU, Kennedy told the organization that they are continuing to “look over the numbers, making recommendations to (the University’s) bargaining team.” Kennedy was not available for comment.

“We expect a change in management’s position when we

go back to the bargaining table next week,” said Phil Mar-tini, a vice president for SEIU.

Wednesday’s walkout comes after 14 months of negotia-tions and at least half a dozen mediation sessions, according to the union. The group striking includes clerical workers, information technology support and food service employees. The union represents about 3,000 employees at the Chicago campus as well as several thousand at the Urbana campus.

The SEIU says the University has not given the service workers any raises in five to six years. But the University contends there have been pay raises before and it proposes to increase each employee’s pay by 3 percent retroactive to last August.

“This raise has not been paid yet because the union is pro-posing a 21 percent increase over a two-year period,” said Mark Rosati, spokesman for the Chicago campus.

However, Martini said the University is misallocating the money, adding that the cost to bring in top administrators is hurting the rest of the campus.

“If they got money to spend on (University President Michael) Hogan and (former University President B.) Joseph White ... they got money to spend on us,” he said. “Believe me, we know we got to work together. And that’s what we’re going to start to do.”

Rosati said in a statement that the University is ready to resume negotiations with a federal mediator as it will pres-ent a new proposal following the enactment of the budget for fiscal year 2013 in Springfield.

“We are committed to negotiating in good faith to reach an agreement that is fair to our employees and financially responsible to our students, their families, our patients and the taxpayers.”

State-of-the-art is the buzz-word for workout facilities today, but there is one place in Cham-paign that has taken a different approach.

Located at 500 W. Church St. in Champaign, the McKinley Fit-ness Center, named after the same former United States Representa-tive and Senator from Illinois that gives the University’s McKinley Health Center its name, opened its doors near downtown Champaign

to the community earlier this year in the same 5,000 square foot, six-bedroom mansion, which banker B.F. Harris built for his daughter, that housed the Champaign Coun-ty YMCA for 83 years.

Leon Jeske, a former comput-er specialist who has been buy-ing and restoring buildings since 1984, bought the property — the city block and everything on it — hoping to restore it.

At first, the plan was to convert the building into apartments, but members came forward, asking

that it remain a fitness center, said Donna Wright, the former mem-bership director at the Champaign County YMCA and current volun-teer and adviser at McKinley Fit-ness Center.

Currently, Jeske has convert-ed the carriage house on the east side of the facility into two apart-ments, where he rents a two-bed-room upstairs for $1,200 a month and a three-bedroom downstairs for $1,500 a month. Keeping the place open has been costly.

“We’re probably losing $12,000

a month on repairs and the utility bill,” Jeske said.

The utility bill was $13,000 a month during the winter follow-ing Jeske’s purchase of the prop-erty. When Jeske bought the build-ing for $450,000 from the YMCA, there was mold in the walls, the carpet was shredded, paint was peeled off of the walls and the windows leaked, didn’t close or had holes in the glass. In the men’s fitness center, rain would pour in and “the water was running down the walls into buckets all over the place and onto the carpet even,” Jeske said.

Since then, he has ripped up most of the carpet, replaced all but a handful of windows and repaint-ed the walls, among other repairs.

“I want to make it really nice for peo-ple, especially if we’re going to keep it open,” Jeske said. “Come and enjoy a little piece of history while you work out. It may be old-er, but it’s still functional.”

Today, the fitness center boasts around 160 members, who are mostly young professionals or older. There are only a handful of youth members because they haven’t begun investing in them yet. Wright said that it’s not so much of a focus now because other organizations in the community serve that function.

“We’re not really focused on youth programs right now,” Wright said. “Right now, we just want to get up and going.”

The Champaign County YMCA, in its new $18 million, 75,000 square foot facility , is a place for families and their children.

Heidi Cordes, the new Marketing and Membership Director at the YMCA, said the new facility is def-initely more energetic and louder than the Church Street location.

“Some of (our members) like that small environment,” Cordes said. “There’s too much activity there (the YMCA) ... but if you’re a senior who has been swimming in a quiet place for the last 50 years, it may serve you better over there (McKinley Fitness Center).”

The problem with the Church Street location, and part of the reason that the YMCA built its new facility, was that the old build-ing wasn’t very accessible. The

new facility, located at 2501 Fields South Drive in Cham-paign, has e l e v a t o r m e m b e r s that can take people to the top of the water slide and rolled rub-

ber floors that reduce impact on joints when walking and makes it easier for members in wheel-chairs to move around.

People at McKinley Fitness Center see their center as a place to come and relax.

“This place reminds me of your grandpa who always had candy in his pocket,” said Angie Rou-ly of McKinley Fitness Center. “The people who come in here are friendly and comfortable here.”

While a newer facility may be able to provide the amenities familiar to a fast-paced Ameri-can public, McKinley Health Cen-ter makes up for it in its charm, Wright said.

“What we lack in shiny stainless steel, we make up for in personal-ity,” Wright said.

Don’t let the first wet, cool days of June fool you: Illinois is coming out of its warmest spring on record.

According to data from Illinois State Climatolo-gist Jim Angel, Illinois’ spring 2012 had an average temperature of 59.1 degrees Fahrenheit, 1.8 degrees higher than the previous record in 1977. This is the highest average spring recorded in Illinois since records were first kept in 1895.

“Spring is important for us, that’s the start of the growing season,” Angel said. “On the farm and also in town, it’s important to know if it’s too warm or too cold.”

This announcement came a week after a drought advisory was issued by the Illinois State Water Sur-vey for the central and southern portions of Illinois. The past season has yielded 3.65 inches, less precip-itation in the state than is considered normal, and some portions of southern Illinois are in a state of moderate drought.

“Usually, by the end of May, we still have plenty of soil moisture; (the soil) is on the muddy side,” Angel said. “This year, we’ve been running dry all spring, so it’s a little more critical that we get more rainfall.”

Coming out of Illinois’ third-warmest winter, this year continues to be the warmest on record, to date. From January to May, the temperature averaged 48.8 degrees, slightly higher than the previous high of 47.3 degrees, logged in 1921.

“We’re finding the pattern of this year is being on the warm and dry side: a consistent signal since January,” Angel said.

Sexual harassment training mandatory for UI facultyBY DARSHAN PATELSTAFF WRITER

CHICAGO — The University is grad-ually rolling out mandatory sexual harassment training for all employ-ees in direct response to the Penn State scandal last November, officials said at the board of trustees meeting Thursday.

Top administrators at the Urbana campus were the first to go through it, with faculty being required to do so in the coming months, said Mau-reen Parks, Executive Director and Associate Vice President for Human Resources. In the past, training has been optional, similar to policies of many Big Ten schools.

“We are seeing that change in the wake of Penn State,” Parks told the trustees. “In fact, a number of schools, including the University of Texas–Aus-tin ... have all made their sexual harass-ment training mandatory.”

But even with the new University pol-

icy, a bill recently passed by the Illinois Senate would require that any person who is affiliated with a higher educa-tion institution be trained. If signed into law, the revised version of the Illinois Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act would also mandate that students and faculty report such instances to the proper authorities.

While some employees, such as med-ical workers, already fall under the act, the law would apply to a broader audience. A task force, which initiated the University-wide training, plans to notify the community through a mass email once it is signed as it goes into effect the next day.

“Gov. (Pat) Quinn is committed to protecting children and young peo-ple from sexual predators, and he will review the bill carefully when he receives it,” governor spokeswoman Annie Thompson said Friday.

In addition, members of the task force have drafted an “umbrella” pol-

icy addressing sexual harassment and training, the use of more thor-ough background checks and possibly more oversight during campus activi-ties involving minors, such as the 4-H Memorial Camp, which is held each summer at Allerton Park.

During the past few months, the group surveyed federal and state laws as well as University policies to deter-mine adequacy and consistency.

The task force was created by Uni-versity President Michael Hogan along with board chairman Christopher Ken-nedy at the December meeting — less than a month after allegations came to light that former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually assault-ed underage boys on campus facili-ties and that esteemed head coach Joe Paterno had failed to properly report claims.

Also Thursday, the trustees wel-comed University President-designate Robert Easter to his first meeting in

his new role after being named to the position in late March. Hogan, who will step down July 1, was not in attendance.

Easter thanked the trustees for their support through this transition.

“I appreciate the board’s trust and support ... (I’ve) been working closely with Dr. Hogan through the transition,” he said during the president’s remarks. “This is truly a journey of discovery for me. I say this because to think after 40 years, you know the University of Illinois. ... Every day, I discover some-thing new.”

Kennedy added, “All of (the trustees) are thrilled that you’re on this side of the table and leading this great Univer-sity,” referring to the seat next to him at the meeting.

In addition, trustee Hannah Ehren-berg was honored at her last meeting as the Urbana student representative. Former student body president and now senior David Pileski will take over at the board’s July meeting in Chicago.

Combs earned his scholarship

It might sound cliche to state study-ing abroad is a must-do and that it will heighten your college experi-

ence, but it remains true.My recent two-week excursion

across Ireland, Scotland and Eng-land has taught me a great deal about different people and societies and has enabled me to analyze and evaluate my own culture. It was quite odd to pay £0.30 ($0.46) for the use of pub-lic restrooms, live in a hostel and wit-ness cars driving on the left side of the road.

However, all of the elements were unique to my trip, and it is the unique and memorable events that allow stu-dents to appreciate their experience.

While I encourage everyone to study abroad, I understand that many of you, like me, may have reserva-tions and concerns about partaking in this experience — this is natural. Finances, cultural differences and even homesickness, all of which I dealt with, are the biggest issues to ponder when thinking about a trip. But if prepared for in advance, they will be issues that won’t create so much stress.

Therefore, here are some tips and information that will make your experience less stressful.

First, you have to finance the trip. It is important to search for schol-arships and grants and apply while you’re waiting on decisions or even if you have been denied from a pro-gram. Check the study abroad web-site for scholarship and grant infor-mation and contact your college to see what financial opportunities are available. If you are denied from a program and later accepted, having financial support will make the prep-aration for the trip less stressful.

Second, you need money for when you are abroad. Before arriving to your host country, be sure to check out conversion rates and fees that your bank and credit card company might charge you for transactions and ATM use. If you know this infor-mation ahead of time, you can bet-ter calculate how much money you need and want to spend. On my trip, I found that it was best to withdraw a large sum of money, which helped me avoid the ATM and transaction fees. However, it is important to talk with your study abroad advisor and discuss what is best for your trip.

There are also cultural differenc-es. Going into the trip as the only African-American student, I was ner-vous about how I would be received in each of the places I visited. Although,

I didn’t encounter any problems, con-cerns like these are legitimate and should be discussed with your study abroad advisor before deciding on a trip. It is important to keep an open mind and understand that elements of life abroad may be significantly different what you’re familiar with, but for the best experience, students should try to adapt and understand their society’s culture.

Then there is homesickness. This feeling will vary with each person, but in my experience it was unavoid-able. While some may suggest hold-ing off on calling your parents, rel-atives and friends often, I suggest doing what will make you feel best. Although I didn’t talk to my mom everyday, we sent text messages often, which made me feel better. Yes, my phone bill will be supremely expensive, but my experience would not have been enjoyable if I was not feeling my best. Also, discuss your feelings with your peers and leaders of the trip; this input and dialogue somewhat eases the situation when you know others are experiencing the same feelings.

Everyone’s experience will be unique and sometimes challenging, and while these tips are designed to help you prepare for the trip, the best preparation is the experience itself.

J ustin Combs and UCLA have gar-nered flack as

of late because the university awarded a full athletic schol-arship to the recent high school graduate and son of hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Those opposed to Justin Combs’ scholarship point to his father’s esti-mated worth of $475 million, which is surely enough to help pay for four years of higher education. Yet the scholarship Combs received was not based on need, but merit. He graduated from Iona Preparatory School with a 3.75 GPA as a 5-foot-9, 170-pound defensive back, and was reportedly scouted by multiple schools, including Illinois.

Justin Combs took to Twitter on Thursday, saying: “Regardless what the circumstances are, I put that work in!!!! PERIOD.”

UCLA clarified in a released statement that Combs’ scholarship is not the same as those given for those with financial needs, and that the $54,000 awarded per year will be funded entirely by athletic department ticket sales, corporate partnerships, media contracts and private donations.

Assuming he received his scholarship for his hard work and prospects as a football player and not his fa-ther’s fame and potential future donations, Combs should feel nothing but pride and not apologize for what appears to be a reward for his work ethic.

What should have been a proud moment of person-al triumph has been diminished by the petty jealousy of others. His financial situation aside, he earned every single penny given to him by that scholarship.

The only person who has to answer for Combs’ schol-arship is UCLA head coach Jim Mora, who does not have an unlimited amount of scholarships to hand out. Scholarships are earned, not given away, and it will be on Mora if Combs doesn’t play well.

Indeed, it would make for a nice public relations move if Combs declined the scholarship due to his family’s finances, but it should not be expected of the 18-year-old student.

The only thing the public should take away from Combs’ scholarship is that he has every right to be proud shining in multiple facets of academics and ath-

Ten members of the Illinois’ track and field program will be taking their talents to Des Moines, Iowa, to finish off a sea-son that has seen many records broken. The most recent record broken was by the women’s 4x400 relay team last weekend.

Beating a 19-year-old school record, the women’s 4x400 heads into NCAA’s with momentum that could prove beneficial. Currently, Illinois’ average time in the event is fourth best in the nation.

With the recent success, freshman Ash-ley Spencer thinks the team has favorable odds.

“We’re just trying to keep the momen-tum going from last week and try and stay at our peak,” Spencer said. “We’re doing a lot of technical stuff, a lot of fine-tuning with box starts and handoffs and finishes. That’s pretty much all we’re doing. Trying to keep it as relaxed, but as intense as possible.”

The record, besides being etched in the school’s history for years, also has a per-sonal attachment to women’s head coach Tonja Buford-Bailey. She was part of the team that set the record.

She did say it was nice to remember the team who set that record and reflect on it. However, she knew this squad could take its place in the school’s record books. In fact, she even expects a little more.

“I’m really excited. That was our goal all year to beat that record,” Bailey said. “That’s a special record for me because I remember that team. Being on that team and getting third at the national meet, which is our highest finish ever here at Illiniois. That was a really big deal that we could come out and break that record. I know how great that team was, so to be better than that is amazing. I even think we can run faster.”

The women’s team is led by three underclassmen (Spencer and sophomores Breeana Coleman and Jesica Ejesieme). The only seniors going are on the relay team (Ashley Kelly, LaToya Griffith and Ryisha Boyd).

While the women’s team sees its young stars taking over, the men’s team will see two of its greatest runners in pro-gram history depart.

Illinois track seeks glory at NCAA’s

Pieters reigns supreme BY JAMAL COLLIERSTAFF WRITER

Sometimes a loss can teach a player more than a victory can.

It’s hard to imagine that Illi-nois men’s golfer Thomas Piet-ers could have won the 2012 NCAA championship if not for his learning experience at regionals two weeks earlier.

Pieters led after 36 holes in the NCAA Norman Regional

on May 18 with a one-shot lead headed into the final round.

It was his chance for the biggest victory of his career and he lost it on the 18th hole after an eagle from Washing-ton golfer Chris Williams. It was his second runner-up fin-ish of the year.

“I didn’t handle myself very well at regionals,” he said. “I made two bogeys in the last three holes, and it upset me.”

So when Pieters entered Thursday’s final round of the NCAA tournament with a two-shot lead and a chance for an individual national title, he said the key to securing the win was his “composure and staying calm.”

Handling the pressure wasn’t made easy for Pieters.

With every shot he took, the 20-year-old Belgium native was surrounded by electron-ic leaderboards on the course at Riviera Country Club. His name was perched at the top, and he could see exactly how close the other players were. Pieters said he couldn’t help but glance up at the score-

board, but it had no effect on him.

“I guess I just played well under pressure today,” said Pieters, who shot an even par to finish the tournament at 5-under-par.

He played well despite being paired with his closet com-pletion, Tyler McCumber of Florida, for the final round. McCumber would finish tied for second overall at 2-under.

Coming into the day, Piet-ers first goal was not to win the individual title, but for his team to finish in the top eight so the Illini could advance to

CHICAGO — With a worn-down bullpen, White Sox manager Robin Ventura gave in to Chris Sale’s request.

Sale pitched a five-hitter for his first major league com-plete game, and Chicago beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 Sunday for its 10th win in 11 tries.

Sale (7-2) struck out eight and walked two. It was his 10th start this year after pitching in relief for Chicago during the last two seasons.

Sale allowed Ventura to rest his entire bullpen after Chicago used all seven relievers in Saturday’s taxing 12-inning loss. He also lowered his AL-leading ERA from 2.34 to 2.29.

Sale entered the ninth with 100 pitches. He allowed a leadoff single by Jesus Montero, but got Justin Smoak to hit into a double play. Dustin Ackley followed with a single and Sale finished the game off by getting Miguel Olivo to strike out after a nine-pitch at-bat. He struck out Olivo on his 119th pitch.

“I asked him to go back out. He said, ‘Yeah, you got to be efficient,’” Sale said, recalling his talk with Ventura. “I wasn’t as efficient as I needed to be. I’m just thankful for him to give me that opportunity to go back out there

and finish the game.”In Sale’s previous start, he struck out 15 in 7 1/3 innings

at Tampa Bay.“Obviously you want to go out there and be good every

time out, but I don’t think there was any added pressure after (the 15-strikeout game). I take the ball every day with the same mindset,” Sale said.

Alex Rios drove in two runs for the AL Central leaders.The 23-year-old lanky left-hander had to battle Olivo

for the final out. Earlier in the game, Olivo tagged Sale for a long two-run homer.

“It was tough. Obviously, the last hitter of the game, you’re just bearing down. He got me early. I was just really trying to keep the ball down to him,” Sale said.

Sale continues to impress Ventura.“Again, what Chris did today was big in a lot of ways,”

he said. “The bullpen has been used a lot in the stretch. It’s just nice to get some rest.”

Kevin Millwood (3-5) was beset by control problems. He allowed four runs and seven hits in four innings. He struck out four but walked five.

“He was just missing. He didn’t quite have the com-mand he typically has. He wasn’t way off. When he was

trying to get back, he tried to do a bit much from time to time. He was right there he was just missing,” Mariners manager Eric Wedge said.

Trailing 2-0 with the bases loaded and two outs in the White Sox second, Brent Lillibridge took a 3-2 pitch that was just off the outside corner to cut the Seattle lead to 2-1. Millwood prevented further damage by getting Gor-don Beckham to ground out.

Control issues continued for Millwood in the third inning. He issued a leadoff walk to Adam Dunn and then hit Dayan Viciedo with a pitch. Rios then tied the game with an RBI single.

“They were close, but they were balls. Once again, I wasn’t locating my fastball very well. For the most part, I was able to keep the ball on the ground, but they found some holes. I walked too many guys. (I) just wasn’t able to make pitches when I needed to,” Millwood said.

The White Sox took the lead in the fourth. Flowers and Eduardo Escobar singled and Beckham hit an RBI single.

With two outs, Rios hit a hard grounder that ricocheted off Millwood’s foot. Shortstop Brendan Ryan fielded the ball and made an off-balance throw that was too late to get Rios, allowing another run.

DUBLIN, Ohio — Tiger Woods picked the right place to match Jack Nicklaus for career PGA Tour wins, and with a shot that even left Nicklaus amazed.

Two shots behind with three holes to play and his ball in an impossible spot behind the 16th green, Woods holed a flop shot from 50 feet away that turned bogey into birdie and sent him on his way to a stunning comeback Sunday in the Memorial.

Woods made three birdies on his last four holes for a 5-under 67, matching the lowest score of the final round, and he finished in style. He hit 9-iron to just inside 10 feet, and raised his putter — a pose that Nicklaus made famous for so many years — well before the

ball tumbled into the cup.It was his fifth win at Muirfield Village,

and the 73rd of his PGA Tour career to match Nicklaus at No. 2 on the all-time list. Sam Snead won a record 82 times.

For Woods, it was a dramatic end to his worst three-tournament stretch as a pro, and it came with the U.S. Open looming.

He started the day four shots behind and wound up with a two-shot victory over Andres Romero (67) and Rory Sabbatini, who was in control of the tournament until he fell victim again to some old magic by Woods.

Woods said he didn’t miss a shot all day, though that flop shot stands out.

“The most unbelievable, gutsy shot I’ve ever seen,” Nicklaus said from the TV booth. “Look at the position he was in. If he’s short,

the tournament is over. If he’s long, the tour-nament is over. He puts it in the hole.”

Nicklaus shared those thoughts as Woods walked off the 18th green with the win.

Woods won for the second time this year and moved to No. 4 in the world.

He reached the par-5 15th into the wind in two shots to set up a two-putt birdie and get within one shot of Sabbatini. However, just like that, it looked as if his chances were over when his tee shot bounded through the green and into a tough lie behind the green.

Woods is famous for chipping in at Memo-rial, particularly on the 14th hole. This was tougher by a mile, on fast greens with a shot that required close to perfection.

“I had to take a cut at it because the lie wasn’t as great,” he said. “It came out just perfect.”

With a full swing, the ball came out soft and began tracking toward the hole. It caught the right edge of the cup and dropped for a most improbable birdie, and Woods took two steps to the left and delivered a full uppercut not seen from him in some time.

Sabbatini didn’t need to see it. He was on the 15th green, scrambling for par, when Muirfield Village shook with the loudest roar of the day. The South African suddenly was tied for the lead, but not for long. He hit his tee shot into the right bunker on the 16th, the third-hardest hole Sunday that yielded only four birdies, and then blasted out to just inside 15 feet, taking bogey to fall one behind.

That was all Woods needed.From the middle of the 18th fairway, with

Nicklaus watching from behind the green, Woods hit 9-iron to the perfect spot on the back of the green that it caught the slope and rolled to just inside 10 feet.

Nicklaus always waits on the 18th green for the winner, a tradition Woods knows bet-ter than anyone. This was even more special given the circumstances of his 73rd win.

“To do it here (with) Jack watching on the last hole ... he means a lot to all of us as play-ers,” Woods said. “We all looked up to him,

and he’s the greatest champion that’s ever lived.”

It was a hard-luck finish for Sabbatini, who has a long history with Woods for brazen com-ments that always backfire on him. Sabba-tini didn’t get many breaks, but he kept his patience throughout the final round and still had a chance until he failed to take advantage of a big drive on the 17th, having to save par from a bunker.

Spencer Levin, who had a one-shot lead going into the final round, lost the lead to Sabbatini with a two-shot swing on the par-3 12th, then took double bogey on the next hole to fall from contention. He closed with a 75, the same score he shot in the final round at Phoenix when he had a six-shot lead.

That was nothing compared with Rickie Fowler, who played in the second-to-last group with Woods to help generate an enormous gal-lery. Fowler opened with a birdie, and his day fell apart after that. With a double bogey on the last hole, he closed with an 84.

The only consolation for Fowler was getting a front-row seat to a comeback remarkable even by Woods’ standards — especially the chip-in on the 16th. Fowler said a good shot would have been anywhere around 10 feet.

“It came out perfect, landed right on the crown of that ridge there, and the rest is his-tory,” Fowler said. “I mean, he loves being in the moment, and that’s where he kind of gets down, focuses and hits those shots. It was fun to see.”

Woods finished at 9-under 279.It was the second time this year Woods

has won in his final tune-up before a major. He won Bay Hill, but then tied for 40th at the Masters. The U.S. Open at Olympic Club starts on June 14, and Woods would be quite happy to take the game he had Sunday to San Francisco.

“That was some good stuff out there,” Woods said. “I never really missed a shot today.”

The Memorial will be remembered for the one flop shot he made.

When the races begin at the NCAA Cham-pionships in Des Moines, Iowa, next week, the Illinois men’s and women’s track and field teams will be trying to bring home some more hardware for the University.

While their goals are the same, the teams are going through two different stages once the players cross the finish line.

The men will be seeing the collegiate careers of two big-time runners — Stanley Azie and Andrew Riley — end. On the wom-en’s side, however, people could be seeing the emergence of a young team, led by freshman Ashley Spencer.

While men’s head coach Mike Turk rec-ognizes that it is a loss to see both Riley and Azie leave, he knows the Illini are not alone in experiencing this problem. He said every college has athletes graduate every year, but that losing Riley was a little personal to him.

“For the program, we’re losing a great ath-lete, someone who scores a lot of points, and someone who has carried a big load for us,” Turk said. “But for me, this next week is kind of sad to see these guys because this is their last go-round in an Illini uniform and we have been through a lot together and they’re really special guys, especially Andrew. I have seen him grow in his time here and I am looking forward to watching him continue down his path in life and I know he has high goals ath-letically, but also in his professional career.”

Riley, who will be training to represent his home country of Jamaica in London at the Summer Olympics, has become the face of the Illinois program, being named All-Amer-ican 11 times over his career, winning two national championships and a two-time Big Ten Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year. With such a lofty resume, he has the experience and an opportunity to come away from next week with three medals in three different events: the 100-meter dash, the 110-meter hurdles and the 4x100 relay.

Riley has not only been complimented on his success, but also his work ethic. While also training for the Jamician Olympic team with women’s head coach Tonja Buford-Bailey, Riley is planning on graduating next January with a degree in Business.

Being teammates on the 4x100 relay team since they were freshmen, Riley and Azie have been not only inspiring their teammates, but also themselves.

“(Riley has inspired me by) just being always faster than me, always trying to give me someone to beat,” Azie said. “He’s a hard worker, probably one of the hardest workers I have ever met. You can’t really replace that. ... He’s busting his butt, he just makes you want to bust your butt even more so you could be where he’s at. I can’t thank him more for that.”

Azie, also an Olympic hopeful for his native country of Nigeria, will be running alongside Riley in the 100 meters in hopes of beating his sixth-place finish from a year ago. Though it was his first time getting an All-American honor last year, the NCAAs are not a rarity for Azie. This will be his third time going (three times for the 4x100 relay team and twice with the 100 meters), and he noted that the experi-

ence will help him stay focused on his goals.“This being my third time going, I know

what to expect, I know the meet schedule, so it’s almost like just another meet,” Azie said. “That’s kind of how you’ve got to treat it. You can’t get all nervous and all antsy because it’s nationals. You’ve got to treat it like another meet and come out and perform.”

The women, meanwhile, will be losing senior talents Ashley Kelly, LaToya Griffith and Ryi-sha Boyd, all of whom are racing on the 4x400 relay team for the final time. However, three underclassmen, sophomores Breeana Cole-man and Jesica Ejesieme and freshman Ash-ley Spencer, will be racing in individual meets for the Illini.

Most notable is Spencer, who will be racing in both the relay event and the 400-meter dash.

Buford-Bailey said that Spencer’s success helps the team not only on the track, but also in the minds of other teammates.

“Any time you have a real star on your team, it just raises the level for everyone,” Buford-Bailey said. “I think peoples’ spirits start to feel like, ‘Maybe we are winners.’ That’s kind of what I think has spread throughout the entire group. You can see that from our performance at the indoor Big Ten meet and the outdoor Big Ten meet. Hopefully that con-tinues and that momentum goes through the next few years.”

Spencer is the youngest track member going to nationals this year for the Illini. While this is only her first year, it seems that Spencer could be looked to for leadership in years to come.

Spencer was quick to point out that at this time she doesn’t see herself as a leader of the team. Instead, she is just following the advice of her coaches, particularly the seniors.

“I don’t see myself as leading, I see myself as part of the team and doing everything I can,” Spencer said. “Ultimately the seniors lead our team. They have been here the longest. They have really groomed me and showed me what to do, what not to do.”

Trying to look at next week as just another meet, Spencer may need help from her team-mates, who have been guiding her for most of the season.

Spencer said she will be sad to see the seniors leave after this year and it will take time to adjust to not having them around. While they have been teammates on the track, they have become friends off of it as well.

“We do a lot of things together, not just on the track, but off the track,” Spencer said. “We go out together and have barbecues and enjoy each other’s company, especially with the seniors leaving. It’s going to be really weird to adjust to not having them around and not appreciate having them around and teaching me and showing me everything.”

The freshman Spencer has already gained a good amount of experience in both the indoor and outdoor championships for the Big Ten. Though she would like to win the 400-meter dash, Spencer said that if she were able to fin-ish in under 51 seconds, she would be proud.

Though she has gotten a lot of advice from her senior teammates, Spencer also noted that the first person she goes to is Buford-Bailey.

“She’s my mother away from my mother,” Spencer said. “She grooms me and shows me everything. She is my coach and she shows me everything within my best interest forward. If I am lost, I turn mostly toward her and if she’s not there, I look for my seniors.”

Illini track squads gear up for NCAA’sSeveral titles will be on the line in Des Moines

al honors under their belts.Though the Illini had a while

to train, as Azie said, until the NCAA’s, all the team can do now is wait.

“This week is not too hard, just really fi ne-tuning things,” Azie said. “Most of the hard work is done for the year. That’s what we spend all of the fall and most of the early season for. The focus of this week is really just fi ne-tuning little tech-nical stuff here and there. Just making sure that we’re healthy and ready to run next weekend.”

Riley will be competing in three events, including the 100-meter dash . This is the fi rst time Riley has entered the event at the nation-al meet and says he is doing it for fun; it will be one of the last times he ever runs it, if he ever runs it again.

Head coach Mike Turk knows that after this meet he’ll be losing some key runners due to gradua-tion. However, he was quick to point out the bright side in nationals this year.

“It’s the last meet for both (Riley) and Stanley, this will be the last meet for Kyle Engnell, our stee-ple chaser,” Turk said. “These are three guys, three seniors, I want to see go out on top. This is Kyle’s fi rst trip to the national meet. I would like to see him make the fi nal, score

some points and get on the podium. It’s very realistic for him. And I know that Stanley gets overlooked a lot, but Stanley and Riley have been our bookends on our relay, they have been an incredible one-two punch on the sprints through-out their careers here, throughout the conference level and now on the national level.”

This is the third straight year that the men’s 4x100 relay team is going to nationals. In recent weeks, it has been a test for the team to adjust on the fl y.

Azie said the third leg of the team has been changing for the past couple of weeks. While Riley and Azie have experience on the national level for the relay team, other members on the squad are underclassmen . This has meant constant practice at handing off the baton in the relay competition, a point in the race that Riley said “is where stuff gets messy.”

The team has stepped up to the challenge and has seemed to follow the leadership of Riley and Azie.

“I think really me and Riley being here all the time,” Azie said. “We’ve always been somewhat of information for the younger guys — they can always talk to us, ask us questions. We’re just kind of the stability for the relay because we’ve been here, we’ve done this, we know what to expect. So I feel that just really helps.”

The preliminaries begin June 6 and fi nals are June 9.

match play.As he glanced up at the electronic score-

boards, he painfully watched Illinois record one of its worst team rounds of the season. The Illini faded from eighth to 21st after a plus-19 (303) on the day for a tournament total of plus-35 (887) .

By the time Pieters entered the back nine, the Illini’s dreams of a team national cham-pionship were fading fast.

Illinois head coach Mike Small came to walk the remainder of the tournament with Pieters to help him refocus.

“It made me feel a lot calmer, and he just told me to hit every shot one shot at a time and he calmed me down pretty much,” Pieters said.

As Pieters completed his fi nal shot on 18 for par, he calmly shook his surrounding team-mates’ and Coach Small’s hands.

Senior Luke Guthrie gave him a big hug and told him congratulations, but the look on Piet-ers face told a story of a person whose season had come to an end.

He had all but sealed a national champion-ship, in complete control of the leaderboard with a three-stroke lead, but it took him a while to get past the disappointment of the Illini not advancing to match play.

“Great kid, good team player and an Illini all the way through,” Small said. “He wants to be playing (in the rest of the tournament) with his buddies.”

Pieters has been receiving seemingly end-less congratulatory notifi cations from Twit-ter on his phone and has been doing repeated interviews.

He joked that his teammates may be enjoy-

ing it more than him.“My teammates are awesome,” Pieters said.

“I love them all. We’re such a tight group. They’re really happy for me, and that’s all that counts.”

Pieters was elated by all the support he received from his peers and after the vic-tory was sealed, he made the call home more than 4,000 miles away to his sister Lieselotte Pieters.

She made a Twitter account on Thursday just to follow the action and watched the live streams online; it was around 4:30 a.m. in Bel-gium when the two spoke.

Pieters fi nished with a 54-hole total of 208 (minus-fi ve) and a three-shot victory . He said after the match that it still hadn’t hit him that he was now on a list with the likes of Phil Mick-elson, Luke Donald, Tiger Woods and former Illini Scott Langley as golfers who have won an individual NCAA national championship in the last 20 years.

“It means a lot to the program,” Small said. “It shows that kids can succeed here and be national champions at Illinois golf.”

The consistent and even-keeled attitude throughout the day helped him handle the pressure.

In the last round he evened out two bogeys with two birdies and posted par on all other 14 holes.

He didn’t post anything worse than a bogey and didn’t have a score higher than a birdie.

He was consistent for three days and earned the University its second national title in the last two months.

“You have to play very smart on this course,” Pieters said. “I hit a lot of good solid shots and landed on a lot of fairways. My short game was really well and had been for the past few months. I knew this was a course for me.”

T he history books are meant to be written by the players, not the umpires. How-ever, in a game that can be determined

by inches and split-seconds, a lack of an ade-quate instant replay system in baseball has let human error get in the way of right and wrong.

This was the case in baseball’s most recent no-hitter by New York Mets pitch-er Johan Santana . The two-time Cy Young Award winner was brilliant, putting zeros across the board against the St. Louis Car-dinals on Friday night.

It was Santana’s fi rst no-hitter of his career and the fi rst one in Mets history . More importantly, though, it was a no-hitter that never should have been.

Santana needed some help from others to cement himself in Mets history. In the sev-enth inning, Mike Baxter made a leaping catch in left fi eld to rob Yadier Molina of a hit. Baxter crashed into the wall, tearing rib cartilage and dislocating a joint between his collarbone and sternum .

However, Santana’s biggest aid came an inning prior when Cardinals outfi elder Car-los Beltran hit a line-drive down the left fi eld line . Third-base umpire Adrian Johnson

ruled the ball foul, but replay showed the ball hitting the chalk, making it a fair ball.

While the missed call would not have changed the Cardinals’ fortunes that game, it ultimately adds yet another entry into baseball’s asterisk-ridden history book. But Johnson isn’t the only umpire who will for-ever be famous for his notable blunder.

Two years ago, Jim Joyce played the oppo-site role, keeping Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga from a perfect game with his head-scratching error. Galarraga was down to his fi nal out and began to celebrate after tagging fi rst base before runner Jason Don-ald could reach the bag. Galarraga’s smile was wiped away and Comerica Park quickly went silent when Joyce inexplicably ruled Donald safe, taking away a feat that only 21 other pitchers have accomplished in the game’s history.

Those who pay little attention to record books will be quick to note that both calls did not cost the affected teams the game. While this is true, Cardinals fans can remember a time when they were not so lucky.

In the 1985 World Series, the Cardinals and Kansas City Royals squared off in the battle of the “Show-Me-State.” Leading the series 3-2, the Cardinals were winning 1-0 going into the bottom of the ninth inning. Royals pinch hitter Jorge Orta led off the inning with a soft ground ball to Cardinals fi rst baseman Jack Clark. Clark fi elded the ball and fl ipped it to Cardinals closer Todd

Worrell covering fi rst .The ball beat Orta to the bag but fi rst-base

umpire Don Denkinger wrongfully called him safe. Orta would eventually score the tying run, the Royals would win the game and the series, and Denkinger would fi nd his picture on baseball’s “Wall of Shame.”

Umpires don’t want to be famous. The only time they are in the headlines or the highlights is when they make a mistake. Being an umpire is not an easy job — and no one will say it is — so why doesn’t base-ball help make up for what the human eye might miss?

MLB replay rules currently only allow for home runs in question to be reviewed, but there is more to be desired. Should every pitch be reviewable? No, strike-zones vary immensely based on the batter and the umpire. But simple calls at fi rst base and foul balls need to be added to the list.

Baseball needs to worry more about get-ting things right than keeping up faulty tradition.

All the game needs is a replay offi cial in the press box to review every play and buzz the crew chief when a play needs a second look.

Opponents will argue that this will neg-atively affect the speed of the game. But let’s be honest, you don’t watch baseball for its speed. Most games take more than three and a half hours, for crying out loud.

An advanced replay system would help umpires do their jobs better and make his-

tory as pure as possible. That is worth the price of a few extra minutes.
