Police make arrest connected to burglary

Power rangers provide humor

Nicolas GaliNdo � daily EGyptiaN

Marcus and Michael Michel, center, both undecided freshman from Chicago, and Zack Turner, right, a freshman from Peoria studying

cinema, dress up as Power Rangers Monday in Lentz Dining Hall. Turner said there was no particular reason for dressing up, they “just

wanted to make people smile”.

Tenure granted to 28 professors in 2014In sports, players are required to fulfill

rookie deals before getting the big bucks, but in education, professors often set their sights on becoming tenured.

David DiLalla, associate provost for academic administration, said 27 SIU professors were awarded tenure and one new professor was hired with tenure for the 2014-2015 school year. DiLalla said roughly 20 professors receive the promotion each year.

There were 517 faculty members with tenure and 187 on tenure track in fall 2013, states the Institutional Research and Studies website.

The SIU Tenure Policy states tenure-track faculty go through a five-year probationary period and are reviewed each year to ensure they are performing well. At the beginning of year six, those professors begin the review process with their academic unit.

The university has a broad outline of the criteria necessary for tenure, but each college

has its own standards.From there, the review heads upward

through the chain of command and is reviewed by the college, provost and finally is approved or denied by the SIU Board of Trustees. Instructors are notified of their status in spring of year six.

“When we’re hiring, we are looking for people that we know can be successful,” DiLalla said. “We hire people that we expect to become tenured. We want people to be tenured here.”

If denied tenure, the individual will finish the seventh year of their contract and will not be re-signed.

Being tenured not only provides job security until retirement, it also guarantees protection of academic freedom. The university will not interfere with research, even if it does not agree.

“Academic tenure gives you that stability,” DiLalla said. “You can do the work you want to do, you can pursue your academic interests and you can teach your courses the way you want to teach them.”

States will get millions to fight labor violationsWASHINGTON — The

U.S. Department of Labor on Monday awarded $10.2 million to nearly two dozen states to beef up enforcement of a labor scheme that companies employ to evade their tax obligations.

The announcement of the first-of-their-kind grants comes one week after McClatchy’s five-part series that uncovered the federal government’s failure to stop companies that wrongly classify their workers as independent contractors instead of employees on federal contracts.

Labor Secretary Tom Perez said the grants, which range from $28,000 to $1.3 million, will help states identify and stop worker misclassification and protect state unemployment insurance benefits.

“This is one of many actions the department is taking to help level the playing field for employers while ensuring workers receive appropriate rights and protections,” Perez said in a statement.

McClatchy reported the federal

government allowed companies on federal contracts to get away with not paying state and federal taxes by wrongly classifying workers as independent contractors.

Honest business owners were unable to compete with the bad actors, who could save more than 20 percent in labor costs. Their workers were left without labor protections and often were denied overtime and workers compensation.

State and federal lawmakers have vowed to exhaust legislative and regulatory avenues to confront the practice that costs taxpayers billions of dollars annually.

“This is another example of corporate greed ruling over the rights of workers, and it’s an insult to all Americans who work hard, pay their taxes and play by the rules,” Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., chairman of a government affairs subcommittee on the efficiency of federal programs, said in a statement Friday regarding McClatchy’s investigation. “False classification of workers robs them of their wages and worker protections. I will not stand for that.”

The Labor Department grants

do not specify whether it’s for enforcement of private or public contracts, and officials did not return follow-up requests on whether and how these funds could be used on federal contracts.

While some states have programs designed to stop worker misclassification, this is the first year the U.S. Labor Department has awarded grants targeting the practice, federal officials said.

Texas will receive nearly $1.3 million — one of four states awarded an additional “high-performance bonus,” because of ongoing work in fighting misclassification, officials said.

Other states received much less; Florida was granted $31,792 despite high levels of misclassification.

An estimated 37 percent out of 805,000 construction workers in Texas are misclassified, according to McClatchy’s analysis. In Florida, nearly 16 percent are misclassified.

The practice was so pervasive on federal contracts in Texas that roughly $1.2 billion in tax revenue was lost, according to McClatchy’s analysis. In Florida, it was nearly $400 million.

The California Department of Labor was not specific on how its $499,792 award would be used. The money was awarded to state unemployment insurance agencies to hire more staff to conduct audits, to enhance methods that will detect employers more likely to misclassify and to educate them on how to properly classify workers, said Labor Department spokesman Leo Kay.

Not every state received Labor Department money that could have used it. North Carolina didn’t receive a grant despite McClatchy’s analysis showing that more than a third of construction workers are misclassified.

Dale Folwell, the state’s assistant secretary of employment security, said North Carolina did not apply for the grant. Folwell said these federal grants carry tight deadlines and often obligate states to use vendors or programs that aren’t compatible with technology already being used.

“I don’t have a shortage of money for this purpose,” said Folwell, whose office finds and combats misclassification through audits of

companies paying unemployment tax on workers. “I can’t divert resources for efforts we can’t ensure will work.”

Proponents for greater enforcement of misclassification saw the grants as a good sign of needed collaboration between states and the federal government as well as among different agencies.

“In order to deal with misclassification, you have to work across governments, the tax side with the labor enforcement side, and this seems like a step towards that,” said David Madland, the managing director of economic policy at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank in Washington.

Matt Capece, a lawyer who works with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, recommended states use the grants to invest in new computer programs that can help uncover misclassification. Capece said states such as Washington and Louisiana have successfully implemented software to help them identify companies misclassifying their workers to avoid tax obligations.

Bad fracking wells taint waterWASHINGTON — Faulty

fracking wells are to blame for drinking water contamination in Texas and Pennsylvania, according to new findings from researchers at five universities.

“People’s water has been harmed by drilling,” said Robert Jackson, a professor of environmental and earth sciences at Stanford University. “In Texas, we even saw two homes go from clean to contaminated after our sampling began.”

Construction problems with natural gas wells are responsible for the tainted water, the researchers found. That includes poor casing and failed cement jobs meant to seal the steel drilling pipe from surrounding earth and rocks and prevent water contamination.

The researchers said there

was no evidence the water was contaminated by the process of hydraulic fracturing itself, known as fracking. Fracking is when high-pressure water and chemicals are pumped deep underground to break shale rock and release oil and natural gas.

That’s an important finding in the debate over fracking, which has unleashed an American energy boom but also allegations of pollution and health problems.

“The good news is that most of the issues we have identified can potentially be avoided by future improvements in well integrity,” said Thomas Darrah, an assistant professor of earth science at Ohio State University. He led the research while working as a research scientist at Duke University.

The researchers from Duke, Ohio State, Stanford, Dartmouth

and the University of Rochester discovered clusters of methane contamination in drinking water wells along the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and the Barnett Shale in north Texas, near Fort Worth.

Methane, the principal component in natural gas, is not known to be toxic, but it can be explosive and is a potent greenhouse gas.

The researchers found the Texas water contamination in southern Parker County. Their findings challenge the position of Texas oil and gas regulators that there is no evidence to connect reports of rising methane in several local wells to natural gas production.

Ramona Nye, spokeswoman for the Texas Railroad Commission, which oversees drilling, said in an email that she has no comment at this point.

Mark Dolan, associate professor of journalism, is one of the recently tenured professors and views his tenure as an increase in academic independence.

“It gives you the freedom to speak your mind when sometimes your opinions might go against that of the administration or supporters of your institution,” Dolan said. “Tenure is important to maintain academic freedom.”

One example of academic leeway is the ability to take a sabbatical, and Dolan is looking forward to taking one.

“When I am teaching, I very much focus on my students and what they are accomplishing and that’s how I think it should be,” he said. “The idea of taking a sabbatical and being able to focus and spending an extended period of time focusing on one of my own projects, that’s exciting.”

Dolan, president of the National

Press Photographers Association, has been documenting barbecue across America since 2005, after he left his job at Syracuse University. He traveled across the country doing research before coming to SIU in 2008.

On his website bbqpilgrim.com, Dolan has compiled photos and stories from restaurants all over America. He hopes to turn his site into a book when he finds time for a sabbatical, which isn’t anytime soon.

“There are some initiatives going on at the university that I’m involved in and as long as those things are going on, I wouldn’t want to take a sabbatical,” he said. “I want to take a sabbatical and I want to worry about nothing but my project.”

The tenure process is important to DiLalla because continuing to bring quality staff to SIU will make the school better.

“It is the most important thing we do,” he said. “Without faculty who are well qualified and who are committed to doing their work, the institution cannot proceed.”

115,000 to lose health insurance on missed Obamacare deadline

About 115,000 people, including 4,000 in Illinois, will lose their health insurance at the end of the month because they missed a deadline to prove they are legally in the United States, federal officials said Monday.

Despite making up to a dozen attempts, the federal government was unable to verify the citizenship or immigration status of those people, who had until Sept. 5 to send additional documents to confirm they were eligible to buy health insurance coverage on HealthCare.gov, the Centers for

Medicare and Medicaid Services reported.

The government now will inform insurance companies to cancel their coverage effective Sept. 30. The cancellations affect only those who enrolled on HealthCare.gov, the federal marketplace created by the Affordable Care Act that was used by consumers in 36 states, including Illinois, to compare and purchase health insurance.

Andrew Slavitt, the No. 2 official at the federal agency, said those who lose coverage may be able to re-enroll for a plan through a special enrollment period if they’re able to submit documentation that

confirms their eligibility.If people are willing to pay their

premiums and demonstrate they are eligible for coverage, they can continue to be enrolled, Slavitt said in a conference call.

He urged those who learn they’ve lost coverage to call the federal call center at 800-318-2596.

Federal officials also said Monday they could not verify the income of about 279,000 households, which could affect the amount they pay in monthly insurance premiums.

The Medicare agency said it was sending notices to those households, which include about 363,000 people, this week.

It was unknown how many are in Illinois.

They will have until the end of the month to send additional documentation to support their income.

Though their policies won’t be canceled if they do not respond, they could see an adjustment to their monthly premiums beginning Nov. 1 to reflect the income amount the federal government has on record, Slavitt said.

Those households also could face an additional tax liability on their 2014 tax return.

The issues are related to technological problems with

HealthCare.gov that left the government unable to determine the income of about 1.2 million households that bought insurance on the website through mid-April.

Federal officials have resolved, or are in the process of resolving, the vast majority of the cases, or about 900,000 households.

Similar issues plagued the effort to verify the citizenship and immigration status for about 1 million others.

By mid-August, the federal government had resolved a majority of those cases.

It is unclear how many of them were able to retain coverage.

WASHINGTON — The United States bombed an Islamic State position southwest of Baghdad on Monday in what the U.S. Central Command said was the first airstrike undertaken under expanded rules of engagement President Barack Obama outlined in a speech last week.

The Central Command statement posted Monday night provided no details of the strike, but the area southwest of Baghdad is a Sunni Muslim stronghold where Islamic State forces have been active since June. The statement said the Islamic State forces were firing on Iraqi security forces.

“The airstrike southwest of Baghdad was the first strike taken as part of our expanded efforts beyond protecting our own people and humanitarian missions to hit ISIL targets as Iraqi forces go on offense, as outlined in the president’s speech last Wednesday,” the statement said, using the U.S. government’s preferred acronym for the Islamic State.

It was not clear whether the Iraqi forces had undertaken an offensive against Islamic State forces in the area or had come under attack.

Until Monday’s assault, U.S. airstrikes had been limited to protecting U.S. personnel and Iraqi infrastructure or assisting endangered Iraqi minorities. Previously, U.S. air power has been used to drop supplies to members of the Yazidi religious minority in northern Iraq, help Kurdish peshmerga militias capture the Mosul Dam from the Islamic State, break the siege of the city of Amerli where members of the Turkomen ethnic minority were trapped, and help Sunni tribesmen and Iranian-trained Shiite militias recapture a village near the Haditha Dam.

Monday’s airstrike was intended only to assist Iraqi government forces. It was the 162nd airstrike conducted since Obama authorized U.S. bombing missions Aug. 7, Central Command said.

In its statement, Central Command also announced U.S. aircraft had “destroyed six ISIL vehicles near Sinjar,” the city in northern Iraq whose capture by the Islamic State Aug. 3 drove tens of thousands of Yazidis into the desolate mountains nearby. The Central Command did not say what prompted the airstrikes at Sinjar, which took place Sunday; it did not link them to the new authority from Obama, however.

The presence of Islamic State forces southwest of the capital has been a concern since June after the extremist militants captured Iraq’s second largest city, Mosul in the country’s north, then swept south before arriving almost at Baghdad. Military strategists worried that the Islamic State was endeavoring to encircle the capital and cut if off from Iraq’s southern provinces, where Shiite Muslims are the majority.

Pentagon officials stressed Monday, however, the capital was not in imminent danger.

The offensive strike south of Baghdad came as Pentagon planners continue to contemplate how to strike the Islamic State within Syria, where fighters control large swaths of the country but where the United States lacks an armed ally capable of taking advantage of U.S. airstrikes. Pentagon officials have said they have yet to receive orders to undertake offensive actions in Syria, though White House officials told reporters before the president’s speech that they expected that authorization eventually to be granted. In his speech, Obama said he would not hesitate to order such attacks, but he did not say what conditions would lead to such a command.

U2’s invasion of iTunes libraries with the group’s new album “Songs of Innocence” may not have put the Irish band back on top of the sales chart, but that doesn’t mean the impact of last week’s stunt can’t be seen.

In the wake of the free _ and unin-vited _ distribution of the album to 500 million iTunes shoppers and iPhone us-ers on Tuesday, music fans have been hungrily revisiting the group’s catalog, and as of Monday, 11 of its albums were back in the iTunes’ top albums rankings.

And that’s almost a week later. Within two days, 17 albums had re-

turned to the digital store’s Top 100. At the peak, 26 U2 collections were on the chart. None of the group’s albums were in the Top 100 one day before Apple’s latest product and content unveiling in Cupertino, Calif.

The favorite?“Joshua Tree (Remastered),” which

as of Monday was still in the Top 20, at No. 19, followed by “U218 Singles” at No. 32, “Achtung Baby (Remastered)” (No. 41), “U218 Singles (Deluxe)” (No. 42) and “War (Remastered)” (No. 50).

The remainder inside the Top 100: “Rattle and Hum” (No. 57), “The Un-forgettable Fire (Remastered)” (No. 62), “All That You Can’t Leave Be-hind” (No. 72), “Under a Blood Red

Sky (Live)” (No. 85), “Boy (Remas-tered)” (No. 87) and “The Best of 1980-1990” (No. 89).

Bono & Co. just missed reach-ing an even dozen with “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb,” which was residing at No. 101 on Monday.

It’s the latest in the longstand-ing collaboration between the band and Apple, which gave the world WKH�ÀUVW�VLJQDWXUH�PRGHO�L3RG�ZLWK�the U2 edition in 2004, numerous TV, print and billboard ads and the PRODUCT(RED) campaign from which a portion of sales are donated to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS in Africa.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2014 8

The son of an Air Force pilot, freshman Daniel Martinez spent his childhood living all over the Western Hemisphere.

Martinez was born in Quito, Ecuador. When he was four, he moved to San Antonio, where his tennis career began.

“I first picked up a racket when I came here for the first time,” Martinez said. “And when I went back, I just kept practicing.”

He and his family moved back to Ecuador after two years, this time to the coastal city of Manta.

Although he was too young to be ranked in tournaments while in Manta, Martinez said he just kept practicing. He said he eventually played in some tournaments toward the end of his time in Ecuador.

Martinez moved to Enid, Okla., when he was 9 years old after his father left the Air Force and became a flight simulation instructor.

“It was a big adjustment,” Martinez said. “I knew English, but I didn’t know how to communicate or take the subjects.”

At Enid High School, Martinez finished fifth in the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association’s State Championships as a freshman and third as a sophomore.

As a four-star recruit entering his junior year, Martinez suffered a setback when he slipped while practicing on a clay court. He tore labra in both hips, which required two hip surgeries. Martinez said his injury caused several colleges to lose interest in him.

One coach who did not lose interest was Saluki head coach Dann Nelson. Nelson’s doubles partner at Oklahoma Christian College, Christian Pensavalle, was one of Martinez’s high school coaches.

“Christian has coached a lot of guys who’ve played [Division I] tennis,” Nelson said. “And he told me, “Hey, you need to look at this guy,’ and that’s what sparked the interest.”

Martinez said he chose SIU in

part because of Nelson’s interest after his surgeries.

Martinez said living in Ecuador and the United States helped him prepare for college.

“Being part of a military family for so much of my life, you always have schedules,” Martinez said. “And here, you need to manage your schedule well, or else you’ll be in deep trouble.”

Six of the nine Salukis list foreign cities as their hometowns. Martinez

said growing up in two different countries helps him identify with his foreign teammates.

Martinez is one of six Saluki freshmen this season. He said his fellow freshmen have been helpful in making the transition to college tennis easier.

“Us six are kind of together all the time,” Martinez said. “We’re going through the same things, so we try to be together as much as possible. Ice baths, dinner, whenever possible.”

Junior captain Jonny Rigby was impressed with the work Martinez and his fellow freshmen have done so far this season.

“All the freshmen have pretty much done equally well,” Rigby said. “Everyone’s working hard, so that’s good.”

Nelson said Martinez, like many freshmen, started the season by trying to do too much in practice, he has since settled in and can be a

productive member of the Saluki tennis team, Nelson said.

“We’re taking it a day at a time, a tournament at a time,” he said. “But I think Daniel, as well as all of the freshmen, can contribute at some point this season.”

Saluki tennis freshman comes prepared

Lewis Marien � DaiLy egyptian

Freshman tennis player Daniel Martinez is one of six freshmen on the men’s tennis team this year. Martinez, of Enid, Okla., was born in Quito, Ecuador, but then

moved to San Antonio where he began playing tennis. Martinez said he is also the only left-handed player on the tennis team. “[Being left-handed] gives you an ex-

tra advantage [over right-handed players] because your spin is different,” Martinez said. The Salukis will open the season at the Middle Tennessee State University

Dale Short Shootout Friday in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

The men’s golf team was ready to compete Monday, but the course was not.

Coach Justin Fetcho said Illinois State University’s Weibring Golf Club in Normal was already soft from last week’s rain. More rain on Monday made it unplayable. He said the greens were underwater and lightning made it impossible to get the last round in.

Illinois State won the tournament with a score of 584, only four strokes better than SIU.

“Third place is nothing to hang your head about,” Fetcho said. “But we went up there to win the tournament, so we’re a little disappointed we didn’t get an opportunity to play [Monday] and try and go out there and get the win.”

Fetcho said he was happy with how the team played, because it

minimized mistakes.Senior Steven Souchek led the way for

SIU with a career-best, 1-stroke-over par finish through 36 holes. He tied for third place individually.

“It’s a nice feeling, but at the same time it’s kind of bittersweet,” Souchek said. “I didn’t get to make a run for the individual title because it got rained out. It’s also bitter because more than anything I’d rather have the team succeed over myself.”

Souchek said he’s been adjusting his swing by changing his alignment and keeping his stance more open.

“It’s hopefully a more powerful swing,” Souchek said. “It’s just kind of a transition to hopefully bring a little more consistency out of my game.”

Senior Andrew Mitchell and junior Drew Novara qualified for the United States Golf Association National Amateur Championship at the same course in July, but course conditions added strokes to their scores.

Mitchell tied for 16th at 4-over-par and Novara tied for 32nd at 7-over-par.

Senior Wade Thompson rounded out the scoring for SIU at 8-over-par. Senior Brady Brown finished 18-over-par.

“Nobody really felt like we played that great,” Novara said. “To see that we were only four shots out of the lead is a pretty big confidence booster.”

Novara played at the top spot for the Salukis.

“I battled the best that I could,” Novara said. “In the first round I only hit five fairways, so my driver got me in a lot of trouble.”

Last season, the team finished the tournament in 11th out of 15 teams. Novara said this year’s team has better chemistry because it has played together longer. He said former coach Leroy Newton and Fetcho did the best job they could to prepare the team.

“Neither [Newton or Fecho] hit any shots in the tournament,” Novara said. “Once you get on the course it’s you against the golf course.”

Fetcho said he is still adjusting the lineup, and all eight golfers will

get a chance to prove themselves in tournament play.

“The lineup to me is still wide open,” Fetcho said. “We’re still searching for our players one through five.”

The Salukis play at the Louisville Cardinal Intercollegiate on Sept. 29-30 in Louisville, Ky.
