University addresses arena street parking PArKiNg jessie hiGGins | News rePorTer The University will use two recently- acquired properties to build parking lots that will reduce the volume of street parking near its new arena. The two sites for the future lots, within blocks of the arena, are the former Joe Romania Chevrolet dealership and the former Oregon Department of Transportation lot, according to the University’s Oregon Arena Conditional Use Permit Application filed Monday. The University had originally planned that the arena’s parking needs be met in the form of on- street parking in the Fairmount neigh-borhood, a decision that raised many concerns among neighborhood residents. Because the City Planning Office had ini-tially ruled that the development of the arena be classified as “ University or College” — a classification that enables the University to build whatever building it feels necessary — the University was able to use on- street parking to meet parking space requirements for the facility. The Fairmount neighborhood Asso-ciation appealed the decision, saying that because the arena was going to be used for community events and concerts it did not meet the “ University or College” classification standards. The Association won its appeal in June, which meant that in addition to filing a time-consuming conditional use permit application with the city, the University would need to locate all off- street parking solutions. “ The conditional use permit is more re-strictive on how parking needs can be met,” Julie Brown, University spokesperson, said. According to the application, the new lots will provide nearly 550 additional parking spaces. The University only recently acquired the former ODOT and Romania sites; however, it had not intended to use them for arena parking. “ Plans had not been fully developed on how they were going to be used, but the Univer-sity was hoping to use them for other things,” Brown said. In addition to the two new parking lots, the University has identified more than 2,000 parking spaces classified as “ on- site” spaces in the underground parking structure that will be built beneath the arena and on the University campus itself. Brown said the University is still working closely with the neighborhood association to address concerns regarding traffic conges-tion, on- street parking, noise and trash that the arena events will bring. The University’s permit application ad-dressed other issues that the increased traffic to the area would bring, including proposing several modifications be made to key intersec-tions and streets near the arena to help ease traffic congestion. jEssIE HIGGIns jhiGGins@ daiLyemeraLd. Com Two recently- purchased parking lots will provide nearly 550 additional parking spaces bryn jansson | sPorTs rePorTer mericans everywhere are celebrating Independence Day today. The expected 20,000- plus fans at Hayward Field tonight will get to see up to 12 Americans celebrate the ultimate achievement — the right to represent the United States on the world’s biggest athletic stage in Beijing next month. Many of these citizens have lived here all their lives, always known the freedoms promised by the Constitution and so proudly claimed by the Declaration of Independence. Others have moved here later in life, whether as children with their parents or older as adults. Some, like Meb Keflezighi, Lopez Lomong and Bernard Lagat, could never have imagined hav-ing the opportunities they have today growing up in Africa. Keflezighi, from Eritrea, moved with his family to San Diego in 1987 via Italy to escape a war with Ethiopia. Lomong has the unlikeliest story of all. growing up in Sudan, Lomong is one of the “ Lost Boys,” a group of boys who were separated from parents dur-ing the Darfur conflict. He lived in a refugee camp in Kenya for 10 years before being selected to come to the U. S. as a foster child. Lagat, meanwhile, came to the U. S. in 1996 to study and run at Washington State University. The strongest tie between all of them, and their reasons for choosing to become American citi-zens, is a desire to represent the country that gave them opportunities. Keflezighi said that growing up, he was since becoming a U. s. citizen in 1998, meb Keflezighi has been one of the most successful U. s. distance runners in history. he set the American record in the 10,000m in 2001, won olympic silver in the marathon in 2004, finished second in the 2004 New York marathon and third in the 2005 New York marathon and the 2006 Boston marathon. Three athletes explain how they want to give back to the land of opportunity Free to run A Courtesy oF ViCtor sai Ler TUrN To usa | PAge 3 Laurie Copans The Associat ed Press JERUSALEM — A day after a Palestinian construction work-er’s deadly rampage in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Thursday called for reviving the practice of demolishing the homes of attackers’ families, and his chief deputy proposed cutting some Arab neighborhoods off from the rest of the city. Israeli Jews expressed anxiety about security, and Palestinians wondered what the violence will mean for their already tenuous position in society. A day earlier, a Palestinian drove a huge earth- moving ve-hicle over cars and into buses, killing three Israelis and leaving a swath of wreckage on a main Jerusalem street before security forces shot him to death. The attacker, Hussam Dwayat, 30, of east Jerusalem, had no problem moving around the Jewish part of Jerusalem. After Israel captured the Arab section of the city in the 1967 war, it gave residency and Israeli ID cards to the Arabs who lived there, giv-ing them freedom of movement around Israel. The attack brought calls to reconsider at least some of the benefits the 250,000 Palestinian residents of Jerusalem receive from the Israeli government. “ I think we have to be tougher in part of the measures that we take against terrorists, especially terrorists who are part of our internal fabric of life,” Olmert told an economic conference at the Red Sea resort of Eilat. “ If we have to demolish houses, we will demolish houses. If we have to re-voke social rights, we will revoke social rights. It’s inconceivable that we are slaughtered and they will have all the privileges that our society grants our citizens.” Israel had in 2005 stopped the practice of demolishing the homes of Palestinian attackers af-ter the military determined that it did not work as a deterrent. Olmert’s dovish vice premier, Haim Ramon, proposed cutting off the attackers’ home village and others in east Jerusalem, where about 50,000 Arabs live, by re-routing the West Bank separation barrier to put the villages outside Jerusalem’s boundaries. It was a rare call by a senior Israeli official to effectively redivide Jerusalem, reflecting concern that preventing attacks by Jerusalem’s Palestinians is virtually impossible. Four months ago, a Palestinian from a neighboring village shot and killed eight young students at a rabbinical school in Jerusalem. On Thursday, police forbade Dwayat’s family from setting up a mourning tent at his home in the village of Sur Baher. A group of men sitting under a eucalyptus tree said some of Dwayat’s relatives had been ques-tioned by police. Dwayat’s wid-ow, Jamileh, sat on a sofa, wear-ing a long black dress and head scarf, biting her fingernails and greeting well- wishers with dark, sad eyes. Her two children had been sent to a cousin’s house. “ He was a martyr,” said one fe-male visitor as she kissed Jamileh Dwayat on the cheeks in refer-ence to the honorary title given to Muslims killed in attacks on Israelis. The attacker’s father, Taysir, had earlier forced mourn-ers to stop shouting “ martyr” at the home, insisting to Israeli reporters that his son was under the influence of drugs during the rampage, was not motivat-ed by hate, and that the family supported coexistence. Police said the attacker ap-parently acted alone. He had a criminal record, police said, and had been ordered to demolish his home in 2005 because it was built illegally. Residents of Sur Baher ex-pressed concern about their jobs. “ I have always worked in Israel and I have great relations with my boss,” said a man who would give only his first name, Moussa, for fear his Jewish em-ployer at a west Jerusalem hotel would disapprove. Meron Benvenisti, deputy may-or of Jerusalem from 1967 to 1979, said the vast majority of Palestin-ians in the city value the benefits linked to Jerusalem residency. “ The majority cherish their status. They would not try this ( such an attack),” he said. “ There is no way you can generalize, but the majority of east Jerusale-mites would like the status quo to continue.” Many Jews in Jerusalem said all Arab residents of the city should be kept out of the Jewish side. Boaz Ariel, 43, a Jewish teacher at a theater school, said he was steering clear of construction vehicles. “ It’s not nice to say, but Israel is soft after these attacks,” Ariel said as a bulldozer with sand passed next to him at a construction site for a light railway, the loca-tion of Wednesday’s attack. “ We shouldn’t let them work here as long as there are attacks ... We have to throw them out.” But one Jewish contractor said his company would go under if he couldn’t employ Arabs from east Jerusalem. 2 Ore gon Dail y Emerald Frida y, Jul y 4, 2008 NEWS STAFF ( 541) 346- 5511 ashley chase Editor in Chief RobeRt D’anDRea Senior News Editor Jessie higgins News Editor Jason ReeD News Reporter anDRew gReif Sports Editor bRyn Jansson Sports Reporter tiffany Reagan Pulse Editor Kelli cuRtis Copy Chief RobeRt husseman matt sevits Copy Editors leslie montgomeRy Jose tancuan Designers JaRoD oppeRman Photo Editor Dave maRtinez matt nicholson Photographers BuSiNESS ( 541) 346- 5511 michele Ross Interim General Manager Kathy caRbone Business Manager amanDa buRhop Administrative Assistant scott allen DaviD huang samantha Johnson allison KuneRth ian lamb bRonwynn manaois Distribution ADVERTiSiNG ( 541) 346- 3712 linDsey feRguson Advertising Director taRa sloan Asst.

NcEoWmS d_ 2x7p_ 1 After attack, Israeli Jews fear for security Attack revives talks over demolition of attackers’ homes middle east surrounded by the Eritrean war for independence from Ethiopia. “ I saw a lot of casualty of war and deterioration,” he said. “ My father decided to have a better life for his kids and so we moved to Italy where we lived for a year and a half.” His father “ wasn’t satisfied with it and decided it wasn’t a land of opportunity,” Keflezighi said. “ We tried ... other countries like Sweden and Canada, but it didn’t work out; but it did work out in the land of opportunity, and that’s the United States.” Keflezighi uses the phrase “ land of opportunity” a lot. This is, after all, the country that gave him his education, his career. He went back to Eritrea for the first time since leaving for Italy in 2002, where he visited with family there — aunts, uncles, cousins. “ I have to help them out as much as I can,” he said. “ Their American dream is here. Everybody wants to come here and get a better life because this is the land of opportunity.” About the time he graduated as a four- time NCAA champion from UCLA in 1998, Keflezighi decided to become a U. S. citizen. “ I thought I had this great potential talent for running and at that point ... I’d been here for half my life,” he said. “ In 1998 I’ve been 11 years here, so it was common sense. I decided to represent the land that gave me the opportunities.” Keflezighi made his first Olym-pic team in 2000, winning the Olympic Trials 10,000m and qualifying for the Olympic final. Four years later in Athens, he became the first American man to win a marathon medal since 1976 when he took home the silver running on the original marathon course. “ It was the greatest accomplish-ment for my life,” he said. “ For ( the last) 5K ... I got to thank the people that helped me and gave me the opportunity to do the stuff that I am. I ran the race, but there’s hundreds and hundreds of peo-ple, whether it’s coaches, team-mates, fans and teachers that say, ‘ Hey, keep going, keep going, keep going,’ since I was in the ninth grade, and I want to thank them and thank my family, obviously. I wasn’t emotional when I crossed the line, just because I have to fo-cus on the flashbacks to where my life started and where it’s going.” Even though he won’t be able to defend his silver medal, as he finished eighth at the Olympic marathon trials and has been dealing with muscular- skeletal problems that forced him to stop training until May 9, Keflezighi is looking forward to tonight’s race and the chance to earn another Olympic berth, especially because it falls on the Fourth of July. “ It couldn’t be any better,” he said. “ In Oregon, which has a big distance crowd and Prefontaine, to have it on Independence Day, for me it has a special meaning. I just hope it will be a good day for me and that I will make the team.” If all goes according to plan for Lomong, he will fulfill a dream he’s had since 2000. While in Kenya, he saved five shillings, about five U. S. cents, to walk five miles to go watch the Sydney Olympics on a black- and- white TV in the Kakuma refugee camp. He saw Michael Johnson win gold in the 400m and decided he wanted to run fast. After coming to Tully, N. Y., outside Syracuse, as a foster child in 2001, he got that opportunity. He developed into an All- American high school runner before becoming an NCAA champion at Northern Arizona University. Now he’s one of the favorites to challenge for a spot on the U. S. Olympic team in the 1,500m. “ It changed my life,” he said of coming to the U. S. “ When I look at where I was seven years ago and here I am right now. Running is what saved my life and now I’m doing it for fun. It means a lot.” Lagat has already won two Olympic medals in the 1,500m — bronze in 2000 and silver in 2004 — while running for Kenya. After becoming an American citi-zen in 2004 and becoming eligible to compete for the U. S. in 2006, Lagat has set his sights on winning gold as an American. He won the U. S.’ first- ever World Champion-ships gold medal in the 1,500m last year, then doubled back and won another gold in the 5,000m. He won the 5,000m final Monday night to clinch his spot in a USA singlet in Beijing and is happy to be assured of a spot on the U. S. team. “ I just wanted to win. I just wanted to make sure I made Team USA, which was very important to me,” he said. “ I’ve lived in this country for a long time and received a lot of support from this country. I got my edu-cation here in the United States, and being the first one from my family to get an education was the biggest achievement in my ca-reer. Then came running. It came the time when I thought I want to settle in America, I want to raise my family here, and I wanted to get the opportunities that Americans get here. “ I felt enormous pride last year running and winning two golds for the United States. This is where I feel comfortable, and I wanted to make the best out of my running career in America.” bryn jansson bjansson@ dailyemerald. com Frida y, Jul y 4, 2008 Ore gon Dail y Emerald 3 … where food & art dance 21048 General Campus Tour Mon- Fri, 9: 30 a. m. & 12: 30 p. m.; Sat, 10: 30 a. m.

There is no better way to ex-perience the character of Eugene than the First Friday ArtWalk. Today’s walk features four very different galleries: the Fenario Gallery, the Oregon Glass Guild, the Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts, and the Museum of Unfine Art and Record Store. The walk will start at the Mu-seum of Unfine Art and Record Store, 537 Willamette St., where the work of local artists Scott Boyes and Claire Flint is on display. Boyes, voted Best Local Art-ist by a Eugene Weekly read-er’s poll, uses skeleton figures and lollipop- shaped people to express social themes. Flint’s work on display is a se-ries of studies she did during her friend’s pregnancy. Shawn Mediaclast from the Museum of Unfine Art said First Friday ArtWalk is important be-cause there is too much emphasis on sports and not enough on art. “ Art represents the creative and constructive aspect of the culture’s psyche,” he said. “ There should be an emphasis on the power of creative and intellectual sides over strategy and militarism.” The walk continues to the Fenario Gallery, 881 Willa-mette St., where “ Omens and Accidents” is showing. The exhibition is the solo work of Sarah Ciampa and fea-tures vibrant canvases filled with intricate and abstract scenes. The next gallery on the walk is the Eugene chapter of the Oregon Glass Guild at 174 W. Broadway. The current exhibit is called “ Diversity in Glass” and features a variety of glassworks from several local artists. Featured artists Debbie McDaniel and Josh McDaniel are actually mother and son.

Both are now instructors at the guild. The last stop on today’s artwalk is the Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts ( DIVA) and its “ The Notion of Motion” exhibit. DIVA, located at West Broadway and Olive Street, has six galleries filled with movement- themed work by local artists. In the main gallery, artists Tenold Peter-son and Steven Oshatz collaborated on two huge paintings of men and women running. In galleries one and two, the two artists have separate exhibits featuring vibrantly colored op art of physics equations and large, elegant pastels of dancers. The other galleries house marathon photographs by Sergio Ortiz, greenery by Leslie Terra and kinetic sculptures by Don MacLane. Katura Reynolds, exhibits director of DIVA, said MacLane’s interactive sculp-tures have drawn the most attention of the whole show. Reynolds said the First Friday ArtWalk brings in a lot of traffic because there is a real difference between viewing art by yourself and viewing it with hundreds of other people. “ There is just something exciting about First Friday. You end up falling into conver-sations with complete strangers,” she said. “ The sense of community that happens on the First Friday ArtWalk is just priceless.” Tonight’s walk begins at 5: 30 p. m. and includes interviews with exhibiting artists at each gallery. Tiffany Reagan treagan@ dailyemerald. com LI SA AND ERSON Freelance Writer She arranges intricate bouquets of pink flowers and pours samples of w­ine at her stand, “ Flores de Julia.” Lively mariachi music and the scent of freshly made tortillas fill the building. Around her, red, purple and green flags with cut-outs of cactuses and sombreros decorate the large windows. Julia Crowley is the only blonde, fair- skinned employee at Plaza Latina Supermar-ket. She is bilingual, but does not speak Spanish like the other employees. “ I use a lot of gestures to com-municate with Spanish speak-ers,” said Crowley, who has worked at Plaza Latina since last September. “ At first I was really nervous, but I learn as I go.” Sam Recinos, the owner of Plaza Latina, said that his 11,000- square- foot building filled with Latin American goods is one of the largest stores in Oregon that caters to Latino people. But since Plaza Latina opened, a growing number of non- Latino custom-ers have frequented the store that also hosts a Middle Eastern foods aisle. This was Recinos and his wife Gisele’s intention — to create a welcoming cultural center in the West Jefferson neighbor-hood — when they opened Plaza Latina in December 2004. The Recinoses know what it’s like to move to the United States from another country. Sam Recinos is from Guatemala and Gisele Recinos is from Leba-non. During the 1990s, when the couple first lived in Eugene, they could never find food from their home countries. They left Eugene for a while before returning in 2002 to find more demand for something like Plaza Latina. “ We felt it was a need here,” Sam Recinos said. “ Eugene is a good location because there’s so much culture and its people see other countries. The main intention was to create a feeling you are in Latin America. You walk in and get the feeling you are abroad.” In the front corner of Plaza Latina, a stand displays Mexican sandals, soccer jerseys and balls and CDs recorded by Latino artists. The store hosts the indi-vidual markets found in Latin America in one central loca-tion, including a frutería ( fruit store), carnicería ( meat store), panadería ( bakery), tortillería ( homemade tortilla shop), ta-quería ( taco and burrito res-taurant), and tienda de piñatas ( piñata shop). Gisele Recinos started a Middle Eastern foods aisle that Sam Recinos said is one of the largest around. Employees from Latin Amer-ican countries enjoy the ambi-ance in Plaza Latina and the support. “ It’s very authentic,” Edith Santoyo said. “ You see many things from Mexico, and it’s so traditional. We Latinos don’t encounter this at other places. The people are excited to see the things here.” Santoyo, who is from a town in central Mexico, has worked in Plaza Latina for almost two years. She maintains the pro-duce section of the store and said most of it is imported to Califor-nia from the central Caribbean and Mexico. Then it is shipped to Eugene. After speaking with his wife to double check their grocery list, and ordering burritos with rice and beans at the taquería, Eru-bey Olveria and his son Alex, al-most two, sit. Alex Olveria wakes up to eat his tacos and manages to smear beans all over his face. His dad chuckles. Erubey Olveria, who moved from Mexico City to the United States and has lived in Washing-ton, Corvallis and Eugene, has visited numerous Latin Ameri-can food stores in the Northwest. He and his wife, Monica, come to shop at Plaza Latina once or twice a month. “ It’s one of the best here but different, still. Once you’ve lived in Mexico, it’s hard to find the food you want here, no matter what,” he said. As a growing number of customers frequent the store, Plaza Latina sees more and more Middle Eastern students who appreciate the aisle Gisele Recinos created. “ Gisele’s here every day,” Crowley said. “ She’s a mom role in the store and makes it feel like a family.” Crowley may not be able to speak fluent Spanish yet, but she’s learning. In the meantime, she’s able to cater to another group of customers. “ I was a military kid and grew up in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, so I speak Arabic with the Middle Eastern customers,” she said.

Editor Andrew Greif agreif@ dailyemerald. com ( 541) 365- 5511 dailyemerald. com/ sports Andrew Greif | Sports Editor Around Grace Upshaw’s neck Thursday night, just behind her long jump silver medal, peeked out a necklace with two words on it: Jump long. “ My sister just gave me the necklace a couple of weeks ago,” Upshaw, a former University of Ore-gon jumper, said. “ I didn’t wear it on Monday, and I didn’t jump too well.” No other words of advice were necessary for the 33- year- old long jumper, who made her sec-ond U. S. Olympic team with her leap of 22- 7, her first personal best since 2004. Former Ole Miss star Brittney Reese won the event by jumping 22- 9.75, making her first Olympic team. Reese, 21, won on her final attempt, knowing she had wrapped up second place already. “ The last jump I just said go for it, and I went for it and got a good jump in,” Reese said. “ I just knew it was coming.” Making the Olympics after jumping for only four years, the former basketball star called making the team “ a dream come true.” Despite coming down with a case of the nerves, Funmi Jimoh was third with 22- 0.75. Character-izing her competition as “ here and there,” Jimoh couldn’t put anything together after her best jump of the day was her second. It still held up for third, an inch ahead of heptath-lon champion Hyleas Fountain, who finished fourth after scratching a huge jump on her first attempt. Not normally superstitious, Upshaw broke out her good- luck necklace for Thursday’s final, and it seemed to work. Needless to say, it will be finding its way into Upshaw’s suitcase for the trip to Beijing. “ Definitely,” she said. With blonde hair and pink highlights, Anna Willard made more than just a fashion statement by running an American record 9: 27.59 in the 3,000 steeplechase in front of 20,927 fans. Lisa Ga-laviz had held the former record of 9: 28.75 since July 28 of last year. Lindsey Anderson finished second with the fourth- fastest time in U. S. history, a nine- second personal best of 9: 30.75. Not bad for the former Weber State runner who just wanted to run around 9: 35 going in. “ To run 9: 30 was just unbelievable,” Anderson said. Collegian Jennifer Barringer of Colorado finished third with the sixth- fastest time in U.

Win Merritted men’s 400m LaShawn Merritt beats reigning Olympic champion Jeremy Wariner down the home-stretch in a duel of Beijing- medal hopefuls Bryn Jansson | Sports Re porter A s Jeremy Wariner and LaShawn Merritt battled off the Bowerman Curve and down the homestretch of the men’s 400m final, the strain was evident on both men’s faces. Wariner, used to being in front with 100 meters to go, was a step down, digging to make up the deficit. Merritt, after a series of close calls in championship races, was fighting to keep the defending world and Olympic champion behind him and claim his first title. Merritt wasn’t about to let his best chance yet slip away. He was able to hold Wariner off and win his U. S. championship by two- tenths of a second, 44.00 to 44.20. Indiana University product David Neville snuck into third. “ Once I got off the backstretch, got to the curve and got onto that homestretch I was smelling Beijing and victory,” Mer-ritt said. “ My main focus was to finish up strong. It came down to a fight and I won today.” Wariner bemoaned the fact that he didn’t run his race as planned. “ I got to the 200- meter mark where I wanted to be at, but I just let him get away from me,” he said. “ From 200- 250 I just finals 1.)

Turn to 400m | Page 15 LaShawn Merritt holds off charge from Jeremy Wariner for first 400m U. S. outdoor title For a full SCOREBOARD got to dailyemerald. com Sports Bryn Jansson Sports Re porter Christin Wurth is a force to be reckoned with. “ I am ready to go and in the best shape of my life,” Wurth said Thursday after qualifying for the women’s 1,500m semi-finals. “ I’ve had a great season so far and I’m having fun.” The 2007 USA Outdoor runner- up in the 1,500m — whose seed time came at the Prefontaine Classic in June — edged out Tiffany McWilliams in the first qualifying heat to post Thursday’s best time, 4: 13.40. Her time bettered that of top seed Shannon Rowbury by two and a half seconds. “ We were kind of going so slow that it was almost un-comfortable,” Wurth said of her heat. Sixth- seeded Lindsey Gallo won the third heat of the day, outlasting Treniere Clement to finish in 4: 17.01. Clement clocked 4: 17.33. “ I feel confident I can come in here and make the team,” Clement said. “ That’s my goal. To me this meet isn’t about time, it’s about placing. My coach told me to be aware of where I am and get in the top six.” Oregon Track Club Elite’s Mary Jayne Reeves finished third in her heat and moved on as well, one of four wom-en with Eugene ties who ad-vanced in their respective events Thursday. A pair of high school girls, Christine Babcock and Jordan Hasay, also qualified for the semifinals. Hasay said she had to leave today for the World Junior Championships in Poland and was unlikely to run Andrew Greif Sports Editor The only high jumper to pass the first height, Eugene resi-dent Jesse Williams advanced along with 13 other high jump-ers during Thursday night’s qualifying flights. Williams jumped 7- 2.5, to tie for first with 10 other jumpers. Despite an injury- filled outdoor season, the 2008 U. S. indoor championships runner- up need only one jump to pass on to the finals. “ It went awesome today,” Williams said. “ I took one jump and was done. It was effortless and I am ready to set a personal best and break a record or two.” Team XO member and former Oregon Duck Kyley Johnson missed all his attempts at 7- 2.5 but was the last jumper to make Saturday afternoon’s final after clearing 7- 0.5 on his first attempt. Kentucky’s Grant Lindsey, brother of former Oregon high jumper Jeff Lindsey and 2008 NCAA outdoor runner- up, tied Williams for first with a third-attempt clearance of 7- 2.5. “ It was just a pressure jump,” Lindsey said, “ Usually that’s when I perform best. Any day you make it through, it’s a good day. Saturday is when it counts.” A former NCAA champion at Stanford, Gabe Jennings, an-other new resident in Eugene, won the first of three heats in the 1,500m in a time of 3: 44.39. Lopez Lomong and Alan Webb won the final two heats, with Webb’s 3: 41.27 leading all qualifiers for Friday’s semifinal. Oregon sophomores A. J. Acosta and Jordan McNamara both ran nonqualifying times by finishing 10th in their respective heats. McNamara, two days after he found out he would be run-ning, ran from the front of the first heat until 300 meters, when almost the entire field began a push past the leaders. Acosta fell during his heat. “ I figured with a lap to go if it’s slow, I’m better off in the front than I am trying to come back from behind,” McNamara said. “ I gave it my all. I’m happy with how I did.” Oregon Track Club Elite’s Will Leer advanced with his 11th- place overall finish, as did OTC Elite’s John Jefferson in 19th. Other notable runners to advance were Bernard Lagat and Leonel Manzano of Nike and Russell Brown of Stanford.

Yes. The university does not require any student to live in the residence halls, but recommends that all freshmen do so during their first year. Can I get a single room? A very limited number of single rooms are available to freshmen because of the high demand for student housing. Completing your application early increases your chances of getting a single room. The number of single rooms available depends on how many incoming residents housing has for the upcoming academic year. Can I choose my own roommate? You can request a roommate. You and your desired roommate need to request each other by name and UO student ID number on your Residence Hall Application or in writing to University Housing. Roommate requests are not guaranteed.

S.” The third horse, Neville, crossed the line in 44.61, beat-ing Reggie Witherspoon, Calvin Smith, Darold Williamson, Greg Nixon and Lionel Larry for the final ticket to Beijing. “ It was just a great experi-ence,” Neville said. “ I knew that all I had to do was get out my first 50 meters and I could hold it down the backstretch, which I did in the semifinal race, but I did not get out the way I needed to in the semifi-nal race. I knew once I did that I had the strength to finish and go strong. I got to 300 meters and I didn’t see anybody at first until LaShawn passed me and I was surprised, but I also knew I had the strength.” Merritt has now beaten Wariner twice this year — Thursday and June 1 in Berlin — but Wariner still feels he’s the favorite going into Beijing. “ When it comes to the Olym-pic Games, I’ve been there before, I know what it takes to win it,” he said. “ I’ve just got to bounce back. I lost in Berlin, bounced back, ran a 43.9, so I’m gonna bounce back.” Merritt, meanwhile, claims that title for himself. “ In my mind I’m always the favorite,” he said. “ I felt like I was one spot away from being first in the world, so I’ve been training hard to be number one.” Regardless of who wins the Olympic gold, Merritt believes the United States has a good chance to sweep the medals and take home gold in the 4x400m relay like they did in 2004. “ Me, Jeremy and Neville, we got three of the best 400m runners in the world,” he said. “ We’re always looking for a sweep and victory in the 4x4.” br yn jansson bja ns son@ dailyemerald. com From Page 13 ja rod opperman | Photo editor David Neville points to the sky after qualifying for his first Olympic team in the 400m, running 44.61. The Indiana graduate’s previous best time in 2008 was 45.03. “ In my mind I’m always the favorite ...

S. outdoor cham-pionship since 2000. No one expects anything different this year, either. Greer set the Ameri-can record to win last year’s U. S. title and took third at worlds. His throw of 299- 6 was the farthest in the world last year, the first time an American ended the year on top since 1983. Greer does have an interesting sidenote for 2008, though: He hasn’t thrown. He has been able to film episodes of “ American Gladiators,” where he stars as Hurricane, one of the professional gladiators. Several other athletes do have shots at an Olympic team. Leigh Smith has thrown the best mark in the country this year, doing it at the Georgia Invita-tional in early May. Smith was awarded a USATF Foundation Elite Athlete grant last year for $ 3,000 to continue his training. Smith’s highest U. S. ranking was third after the 2006 season. Mike Hazle threw his mark of 269- 8 on the same day but in Doha, Qatar. Hazle was runner-up to Greer at last year’s U. S. outdoor championships. Collegians Chris Hill ( Geor-gia) Corey White ( Southern Cal-ifornia) and Adam Montague ( Florida) all round out the top six throws in the U. S. this year, and the fourth, fifth and sixth seeded throws overall. Locals should recognize some faces in the field. Ex- Oregon thrower Ryan Brandel and cur-rent Lane Community College thrower Cyrus Hostetler, from Newberg, will compete. Re cords American Record: Breaux Greer, 299- 6 2007 U. S.

Xavier Carter, 19.92 It seems everyone knows whom the favorite is in this event. Coming off his electric performance in the 100m, Tyson Gay is ready to defend his U. S. outdoor title from a year ago in this event. The times of the top five competitors are all from the 2007 season, but that doesn’t mean they’ve slowed down much. Gay, Wallace Spearmon, LaShawn Merritt and Walter Dix hold four of the world’s top five times this season. Gay will have to fend off another loaded field, seeing that 11 of the top 19 times in the world this season have been run by Americans. One is a collegiate teammate at Arkansas, Spearmon, who ran 20.07 at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York City on May 31. Spearmon set his personal best of 19.82 last year, but that was amazingly only the fifth- best time in the U. S. The second seed, Dix, is looking for his second Olympic team bid. He is the collegiate re-cord- holder along with a 100m Olympic team member. After an injury- ridden 2008 season at Florida State, he still rebounded to win the NCAA title in the 200m this year. Whether he can regain his top form from last year remains to be seen. Crawford was a 2004 Olym-pic gold medalist but has barely run in any meets this season. He was second in the 200m at the Prefontaine Classic on June 8. Re cords American Record: Michael Johnson, 19.32 2007 U. S.

Rafeeq Curry, 56- 6 4.) Lawrence Willis, 55- 8 5.) Brandon Roulhac, 55- 7.75 It’s hard to follow the triple jump in America and not hear the name Walter Davis. In six of the past seven years, Davis, 29, has been the best in America, in-cluding a bronze medal in Osaka at last year’s World Champion-ships. For the Olympic Trials, Davis is seeded second. In 2006 he won the U. S. outdoor and world indoor triple jump titles. In all, he’s won titles at the NCAA , U. S. and world levels, and would make his second Olympic team this season if he qualifies. Both Davis and Aarik Wilson come into the meet as question marks despite their solid resu-més. Davis has endured an inju-ry- filled 2008 season, while Wil-son, who won the long and triple jump at the 2005 NCAA indoor meet champion while at Indiana, has jumped almost a foot- and- a-half shorter this season than in 2007. His 2007 season shouldn’t be discounted, however; Wil-son, 26, was the U. S. champion in the triple jump both indoor and outdoor. His personal best of 57- 8.25 is seeded first. Kenta Bell, who held the third- farthest mark but was un-declared as of the first week of competition, was a 2004 entrant in Athens with Davis. He took third at the 2007 U. S. outdoor championships but was dis-qualified from his bronze medal later when he tested positive for a banned substance. He served a three- month suspension because of the positive test. Rafeeq Curry, a 2006 Flor-ida State graduate who has the third- seeded mark for en-trants, wouldn’t be a surpris-ing Olympic team member if he jumps to his potential. He hasn’t been out of the top five in America in the past three years. He has the year’s best mark for the U. S., jumping 56- 6 in late March.

Bianca Knight, 22.40 NBC has tailored its promotions for the Olympic Trials around Allyson Felix for a reason: Her entry mark of 21.81 seconds is almost half a second faster than Lu-cas, and is the fastest time by a woman this century. She has been on fire since she took silver in Athens. Besides posting her personal best en route to the 2007 200- meter world championship, Felix won two other gold medals at the same meet, the second time in history a woman has done such a feat. She also col-lected the 2005 world cham-pionship, has won the U. S. ti-tle at the distance three times and is the World Juniors record holder. Porscha Lucas has the second- fastest time of the meet, and comes right from Texas A& M University, where she ran her 22.29 mark at the Big 12 Conference Outdoor Championships and was the 2008 Big 12 Conference Performer of the Year. As a freshman at A& M, she ran a world- leading 2007 for juniors with her time of 22.79. Muna Lee is a LSU graduate who was on the gold medal-winning 4x100 meter- winning team for the U. S. at the 2005 World Championships. She’s been here before, taking sec-ond at the 2004 Olympic Trials and finishing seventh in Ath-ens. She also has the third- fast-est time in the world this sea-son, following Felix and Lucas. Look for Lee to find herself on a second Olympic team.

With his time at the Prefontaine Classic, the 31- year- old is the heavy favorite to win and possibly break Meb Keflezighi’s record. He’ll certainly have the perfect conditions as the race will be the final event on July 4, right before the fireworks go off. Of course, most in the Hayward Field stands will be cheering for Galen Rupp to become the second Duck to make the Olympic team. Rupp’s collegiate record set last year at Stanford is the second- best mark. He’s run under the lights at Hayward before, and will have the per-fect opportunity to make the Olympic team that so many have prophesized him to make in the past. Keflezighi will try to make his record stand a little bit longer after coming in ranked third. Best- known for taking the silver medal in the Olympic marathon in 2004, he has three U.

When Blair LaBounty, 36, arrived at the track and field offices at the Casanova Center Wednesday morning, she was met by associate head coach Dan Steele and assistant athletic director Bill Clever and was no-tified she would be let go. Blair LaBounty said a third distance coaching position would be created. Blair LaBounty was hired in the fall of 2005 and coached three Ducks — Ashton Eaton, Brianne Theisen and Lauryn Jordan — to all- American hon-ors in three years. Junior Ka-lindra McFadden and Jordan broke school records in the in-door pentathlon in consecutive years. Blair LaBounty was a former two- sport standout as a Duck during the mid- 1990s, where she was an all- American hep-tathlete and played basketball. She was a 1996 Olympian in the heptathlon, finishing eighth.

Don’t be shy -- this is your year to shine. You’ll be recog-nized for your good works, your creativity and your humanity. You’re accepted into a club or school in August. Passions soar in December. You’ll be learning what will launch you into better financial straits by January. Keep work-ing your plan. Virgo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 18, 43, 39 and 1. ARIES ( March 21- April 19). Sleep, eat and be merry. It’s nothing to feel guilty about. It’s part of your success formula. Every human en-deavor requires adequate recovery time. This is how you’ll keep going. TAURUS ( April 20- May 20). Again you’re fo-cused on the flaw, which is not necessarily a negative focus. You’re ready to see the mag-nificence in imperfection and appreciate how it offsets the smooth finish. The flaw becomes your favorite part. GEMINI ( May 21- June 21). Your support group may or may not be a formally structured meeting of people, but it will provide a definite and systematic uplift of your spirit. Commune with others and let them help you. CANCER ( June 22- July 22). You can be emo-tionally tough or extremely tender. Your frus-tration is in not knowing how life is going to affect you. Just know that whatever reaction you have, it’s not wrong. Accept yourself. LEO ( July 23- Aug. 22). Your thoughtfulness overrides financial considerations. It’s the care ( not the money) you put into making oth-ers happy that keeps everyone smiling. The one with the biggest smile is you. VIRGO ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22). You’re in for a long day and a late night -- it’s nothing but fun all the way. Your revelry is the perfect punctua-tion mark to what has been an incredibly pro-ductive ( in its own way) week. LIBRA ( Sept. 23- Oct. 23). Your role as a life coach kicks in, and you’re fielding questions from several different people. You listen, you advise, you listen some more. But it’s your example that teaches the most. SCORPIO ( Oct. 24- Nov. 21). You may be kick-ing back with family, but your mind is whirling around a fabulous idea. The ones who say it can’t be done are at least as right as the ones who say it can. So just choose a side and stick to it. SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21). Following the old “ when in RomeÖ” adage, you wind up in unexpected places. It’s creative for you to go with the flow. Everything that comes to you now is a function of the tribe you join. CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19). Though you’d like to think of yourself as an efficient, lean, mean machine, the truth of the matter is that you’re an organic being who needs nurturing, just like anything that grows. Go easy. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18). Is life arbitrary and fate capricious? Or is this a part of a grand design that you’re just not seeing? Lead with the wise part of your heart that knows that it’s all coming together beautifully. PISCES ( Feb. 19- March 20). Someone must always be manning the boat, and you feel that it should be you. Consider delegating a little more today though, trading duties so that ev-eryone can have a good time. COPYRIGHT 2008 CREATORS SYNDICATE, INC.

Call 346- 3712 Men | 2004 Olympic Trials champion Rome throws greatest discus distance advanced to Sunday’s final, with Jarred Rome taking top honors with his throw of 206- 10. The 2004 Olympic Trials champion ended last season with the na-tion’s best throw. His first throw automatically qualified him for the final. “ All these marks get erased and Sunday is a brand new day and I’m looking forward to that,” Rome said. Four athletes in the second flight were able to join Rome in the 200 foot- plus club, including Matt Lamb, Ian Waltz, John Godina and Adam Kuehl. “ No news is good news on these days because the fun stuff really begins in a few days,” said Godina, who is look-ing for a berth on his fourth Olympic team. Anthony Famiglietti and Ben-jamin Bruce won their respective steeplechase semifinals Thurs-day night, with Bruce’s win com-ing as a surprise because he was ranked 15th entering the event. Famiglietti won the first heat in 8: 25.17, while Bruce qualified in 8: 32.57. Former Oregon runner Kyle Alcorn, who transferred to Ari-zona State after Martin Smith resigned in 2005, was fourth overall. Alcorn is just three weeks removed from winning the NCAA outdoor title. Max King of Oregon Track Club Elite and Thomas Brooks, another Eugene- based runner, were the first two runners to not make the cut. Andre w Gre if ag reif@ dailyemerald. com From Page 14 “ I’m not going to sleep t oni g h t b e c a u s e I ’ m going to be worried when I wake up in the morning none of this happened,” Barringer said. With 800 meters left, as Wil-lard made her push for the lead and record, Barringer said she became aware of her spot on the team — and instantly became nervous. “ It almost made it a lot harder,” she said. “ I’ll try and break down and analyze and digest and in the end I hope I can sit quietly in my chair and be proud I’m an Olympian and not worry too much about how it all went down in the last 800 meters.” Sanya Richards controlled the evening’s first final on the track, winning the 400m in a time of 49.89, improving her already third- fastest time in the world. After dealing with an illness for much of last season, and finish-ing   fourth in the world outdoors 400m, Richards said her victory was part redemption, part con-firmation that she still could still return from her 2006 season where she was the IAAF World Athlete of the Year. “ I wanted to win here today and go into Beijing as the heavy favorite,” Richards said of her “ almost” perfect race. Mary Wineberg followed in second in 50.85, and Dee Dee Trotter was third in 50.88. Wineberg entered the meet with the third- fastest time in the United States this year, but felt it was a confirmation of her strug-gles in the past. She made a surge with 200 meters remaining to push Richards, who held her off in the final 150 meters. “ It’s been a long four years of struggling trying to get myself known,” Wineberg, 28, said of making her first Olympic team. Trotter, while not exactly struggling in anonymity with her 2004 4x400m gold medal, was dealt a setback eight weeks ago with a partially chipped femur bone in her left leg. She expects to have surgery on her left knee after the season is done. Admittedly stressed from her injury, Trotter held onto third coming from lane seven. “ Every round I just prayed to make it to the next round,” Trotter said. “ I don’t know what happened out there; it was crazy.” Andre w Gre if ag reif@ dailyemerald. com finals | Reigning NCAA 3,000m steeplechase champion Barringer finishes third in 9: 33.11 From Page 13 Women | Stuczynski, Dragila both advance with ease in women’s pole vault in the semifinal. Former Duck Brittany Hinchcliffe had the ninth- best throw overall in the preliminar-ies of the hammer throw, a 214- 8 that advanced her to the final on Saturday. Cari Soong of Team XO, who is a volunteer assistant coach at Oregon, also advanced, throwing 212- 4. Former Duck All- Ameri-can Britney Henry never found a good throw, maxing out at 207- 0, well short of her personal best of 225- 5. Jessica Cosby was the only thrower to hit the automatic qualifier into the final, a mark she hit on her first throw of 228- 8. Becky Holliday, another for-mer Duck, was one of 12 pole vaulters to clear at least 13- 9.25 to move on to the final sched-uled for Sunday afternoon. She cleared 13- 9.25 on her first at-tempt before taking two attempts at 14- 1.25. Two- time U. S. champion and 2008 World Championships sil-ver medalist Jenn Stuczynski and 2000 Olympic gold medalist Stacy Dragila advanced without a miss. “ Qualifying rounds are always stressful, but I think it went all right,” Stuczynski said. “ It all comes down to the finals now and I am prepared to jump what I need to.” In the shot put, top seed Jillian Camarena and third seed Mi-chelle Carter advanced without incident, with Carter’s throw of 60- 1.75 traveling the farthest distance on the day. Two- time NCAA champion and Arizona State graduate Jessica Press-ley struggled in qualifying and ended up in seventh place.

Re SFTP in progress.

[kestlund]

Reviewed / approved issues for editorial staff. QA on post-review, shows many images just missing, http://oregondigital.org/sets/daily-emerald/oregondigital:qj72p7826.

@terrellt would the slowness we've been having on ingest be problematic generating the derivatives? Is there a way to just retrigger derivatives?

@lsat12357 we can have a student go through and QA/edit if needed. So many are working that I don't necessarily want to batch delete / re-ingest.

[tpendragon]

@kestlund Yeah, the workers probably got eaten up during ingest at some point. I can retrigger those that didn't have derivatives succeed. Give me a few minutes.

[tpendragon]

74 ODE items were missing thumbnails (and thus probably all derivatives). Retriggered those ones.

[tpendragon]

@lsat12357 Is this done?
