Facility created to help children and families

By LAUREN HARPER staff writer

The Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services is receiving an upgrade through the Emma Eccles Jones Early Childhood Education and Research Center and the Dolores Doré Eccles Center for Early Care and Education.

The new facility was dedicated Tuesday in front of the new building.

Stan Albrecht, president of Utah State University, said that the programs housed in this new building are “already literally changing the lives of children and families.”

The new facility contains a school for children with permanent hearing loss, a new childcare facility complete

with observation rooms for parents, and language and listening research labs.

Beth E. Foley, interim dean of the college of education said that the facility will focus on teacher training and education as well as research. She said the college of education ranks in the top two percent of educational schools. President Albrecht said the new facility will help the College of Education become the best.

The facility is covered in child-friendly paint colors and decorations. Each of the classrooms is named with different elements of nature such as earth, wind and sun.

According to Kristina Blaiser, director of the Sound Beginnings Preschool for children with permanent hearing loss, the school will help children learn how to

hear and speak with hearing aids or cochlear implants.

“We expect children to hear within a normal range,” Blaiser said.

President Albrecht said that children with hearing loss could be helped, but only if the problem is identified early in life. The new facility provides hearing assessment for children.

The research in the new building is headed by professors as well as graduate and undergraduate students.

Foley said students are excited about their research.

She said one student wrote, “I love research” on a white boards in the new building.

The research will be used to help children with

A change in venue took the ASUSU executive council meeting from the third f loor of the Taggart Student Center to the student alumni house Sept. 14. This week, the Student Alumni Association welcomed the council as they presented their currently running program “Aggies for Change.”

Patty Halaufia, executive director, told the council activities provided by

ASUSU “provide memories” for students. She also said that this contributes to the 85-87 percent of students who report having a good experience at Utah State University. Halaufia said that out of all of those students, only 9-10 percent of student alumni actually give back to USU, which is extremely low compared to the 70 percent of private school alumni that give back to their schools. According to Halaufia, a student is considered alumni of the university after being

enrolled in twelve credit hours.

The Aggies for Change program is the first all-student campaign being run at the university in which students donate spare change to piggy banks. Private donors have agreed to match any funds collected with no known limit. Program sponsors, including USU Credit Union, are covering the cost of the fundraiser so all proceeds will go to stu-

Radio station starts off Utah college tour

By MEGAN BAINUM assistant news editor

The popular radio show Radio From Hell, on X96 out of Salt Lake City, kicked off their College Campus Tour at Utah State Monday morning. The tour will visit every college in the state.

Kerry Jackson, Bill Allred and Gina Barberi, the show’s hosts, set up in the Taggart Student Center hallway for their live broadcast. Throughout the morning, they interviewed Coach Gary Anderson, President Stan Albrecht, Bill Sproat and Troy Oldham, temporary executive director of marketing and branding for the school of business.

Allred said the College Campus Tour idea came from Richie T. Steadman, the X96 Marketing Director and Radio From Hell producer. They wanted to find a way to connect with their audience, and even though Cache Valley doesn’t get a very strong signal for the show, Barberi said it was a way for those students who grew up listening to Radio

From Hell and X96 in high school to get involved again now that they are away at college.

“We are always looking for ways to get free food and T-shirts, although it is great to get a chance to reconnect with our audience too,” Allred said.

The hosts also said that Steadman is looking for students interested in interning for the show.

Trent Hunsaker, recruitment specialist for the admissions office, said he is a longtime fan of the program and was happy to jump on the opportunity to help out.

“Everyone from Radio From Hell are very easy to work with, very amicable people and we were happy to have them come to Utah State,” he said.

Hunsaker said one of the main reasons for agreeing to have the show on campus is because all of the other universities, with the exception of Brigham Young University, were going to be participating in the tour and they wanted RADIO HOSTS FROM X96 and President Albrecht sit out in the TSC hallway as a part of Radio from Hell’s

American Woman gains freedom

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – The American woman released by Iran on Tuesday after more than a year in prison said she was grateful to Iran’s president for her freedom shortly before she boarded a flight to the Gulf sultanate of Oman where her mother greeted her with a warm embrace.

Iran freed Sarah Shourd, 32, after arrangements were made to satisfy Iran’s demand for a $500,000 bail. American officials said neither the U.S. government nor the family put up the money for the and they thanked U.S. ally Oman, which they U.S. missiles kill ten bail said had played a critical, behind-the-scenes role in securing Shourd’s release.

then, looking relaxed and smiling, they strolled arm-in-arm on their way out.

President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton both thanked Oman for its assistance and U.S. officials said Omani negotiators were key in the release. The Omanis worked with Swiss diplomats and the Iranian judiciary to win her freedom, particularly in resolving the issue of bail, the officials said.

Oman “in recent days and weeks became a key interlocutor to help us work this case with the Iranian government,” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. “And we are very grateful to the role that Oman has played.”

Tehran’s chief prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi said a $500,000 bail had been paid to Iran’s Bank Melli in Muscat, Oman but did not say who paid it. A U.S. official said neither the U.S. government nor the families of the hikers had paid the bail, but could not say who else might have paid it. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Crowley said he could not say whether any money had changed hands in winning Shourd’s release, but noted that “arrangements were made that satisfied Iranian requirements under their judicial system.” At the same time, he said the U.S. government had no information to suggest that any U.S. or international sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear program had been violated in making those arrangements.

“The United States did not pay anything for her release. As you know, the government of Iran, through their judicial process, had specific requirements for her release, and arrangements were made that satisfied those requirements,” Crowley said.

“Someone provided sufficient assurances to the government of Iran that satisfied, you know, their stipulations for release.”

Obama welcomed the release but the families of the three Americans had mixed emotions.

“All of our families are relieved and overjoyed that Sarah has at last been released but we’re also heartbroken that Shane and Josh are still being denied their freedom for no just cause,” they said in a statement.

“We applaud the Iranian authorities for showing compassion in Sarah’s case and again call on them to do the only right thing and release Shane and

CHICAGO (AP) – Junior doctors quickly learn that exposure to patients’ germs is part of the job, but a study suggests many are returning the favor.

More than half of doctors in training said in a survey that they’d shown up sick to work, and almost one-third said they’d done it more than once.

Misplaced dedication and fear of letting other doctors down are among reasons the researchers cited as possible explanations.

Dr. Anupam Jena, a medical resident at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, developed food poisoning symptoms halfway through an overnight shift last year, but said he didn’t think he was contagious or that his illness hampered his ability to take care of patients.

Jena, a study co-author, said getting someone else to take over his shift on short notice “was not worth the cost of working while a bit sick.” He was not among the survey participants.

The researchers analyzed an anonymous survey of 537 medical residents at 12 hospitals around the country conducted last year by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The

response rate was high; the hospitals were not identified.

The results appear in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association.

Nearly 58 percent of the respondents said they’d worked at least once while sick and 31 percent said they’d worked more than once while sick in the previous year.

About half said they hadn’t had time to see a doctor about their illness.

Dr. Thomas Nasca, the accreditation council’s CEO, said residents are trained to put patients’ needs above their own but also should recognize that if they’re sick, their patients’ would be better served by having another doctor take care of them.

Residents’ hands-on postgraduate training is rigorous and demanding. Many work up to 80 hours a week and sometimes 24 hours a day in hospitals. The atmosphere in some programs is ultra-competitive, and residents may work while sick because they don’t want to be seen as slackers, Jena said.

aggression motivated by clearly imperialistic interests.”

Mexico lost about half its territory to the United States in the war, including much of what later became Arizona, Nevada, Utah and California.

But Calderon also said Mexicans deserved some blame.

“We lost because of the invasion and expansionist desires of our enemy, but also because of divisions among Mexicans,” the president said, noting a widely cited theory that Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna refused to send reinforcements to another general because of bad blood between the two, contributing to a key U.S. victory that allowed the invading troops to advance to Chapultepec.

“Thus, while many Mexicans fought to the death in the war with the United States, others simply watched the American troops go by without standing up to them,” Calderon said.

“We only prosper when we are united,” Calderon told the crowd as Mexico prepares to celebrate the bicentennial of its 1810 independence Wednesday and Thursday. “That is the great lesson of our history.”

Even though Mexico lost at Chapultepec, on a hill overlooking the capital, the battle produced a symbol of national pride.

Obama said all Americans are celebrating Shourd’s long-awaited return home.

“I am very pleased that Sarah Shourd has been released by the Iranian government, and will soon be united with her family,” Obama said in a statement Shourd’s mother Nora said she has hoped and prayed for this moment for 410 days.

“Sarah has had a long and difficult detainment and I am going to make sure that she now gets the care and attention she needs and the time and space to recover,” she said. “I can only imagine how bittersweet her freedom must be for her, leaving Shane and Josh behind.”

Doctors show up sick to work, studies show programs, has proposed revisions on residents’ work hours and time off to reduce sleep deprivation and the chances for medical errors. The work week limit would remain at 80 hours.

The revisions, to be voted on by the council’s board later this month, also call for residents and faculty not to ignore signs of illness and fatigue in themselves and colleagues and make sure that they’re fit for duty. That might help reduce the reporting-while-sick problem, said study co– author Dr. Vineet Arora, associate director of the University of Chicago’s internal medicine residency program.

A growing push to require flu shots for health workers also could help reduce the number of junior doctors who work while sick.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommends annual flu vaccinations for all health care workers to prevent their patients from getting sick. And last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics endorsed mandatory flu vaccinations for all health workers.

Health insurance is the mechanism to regulate the health care market, Gershengorn said.

“The healthiest individual can be hit by a bus. He cannot keep himself out of the health care market,” Gershengorn said.

But Rivkin likened the health care law to the subprime mortgage crisis.

“If this cost shifting is allowed then it would let the government demand that people buy a prescribed package of mortgages,” he said.

Florida’s Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum filed the lawsuit just minutes after President Barack Obama signed the 10-year, $938 billion health care bill into law last March. He chose a court in Pensacola, one of Florida’s most conservative cities. A similar case is unfolding in Virginia.

There, the Obama administration also tried to get the lawsuit dismissed, saying Virginia lacked standing to sue.

The other states that are suing include Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.

Organizations combine to help serve students Briefs

By MEGAN ALLEN senior writer

Five formerly separate student service organizations on campus have joined together to form the new Access and Diversity Center.

An open house will be held Wednesday, Sept. 15 from 2-5 p.m. in room 315 of the Taggart Student Center.

“It will provide students and faculty an opportunity to see the changes that have been made and to meet the staff,” said Michelle Bogdan, the director of the Access and Diversity Center.

“The Access and Diversity Center was created to leverage the synergy of what were previously five separate student service offices,” Dr. James Morales, vice president of student services, said. “Combined under one umbrella unit, these offices can now better serve students by working as one aligned entity.”

Morales said the idea for the Access and Diversity Center stemmed from a similar organization he created while at the University of Minnesota. When he interviewed for his current position with USU President Stan Albrecht, he brought it up as one of his ideas

that would help the university grow and develop.

This new organization brings together multicultural student services (MSS), veteran services, non-traditional student services, educational outreach, and the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and ally (GLBTA) services.

Each of these organizations has a lot to offer students, and this change is going to make things better, Bogdan said.

Once they had the go-ahead from university administration to form the Access and Diversity Center, the committee took the idea to students.

Bogdan said it was important to have their support for the changes that were going to be made.

“Even positive change can be unsettling,” she said.

“Each of the separate units were already providing excellent service to their respective target group of students,” Bogdan said, “but students can now expect an even higher degree of service because the center’s staff will be cross-trained, student groups will be interacting more and resources will be shared and thus brought to bear on needs and opportunities in a much more focused way.”

Morales said the Access and

Pool tables get removed to uphold policy

By CATHERINE MEIDELL news editor

Due to security issues, two of the eight pool tables in the Nelson Fieldhouse are no longer accessible, and some students taking a billiards class have started a petition to keep the tables open for use.

Two of the petitioners are Chris Crooke, junior and treasurer of the billiards club and Cameron Copeland, a student enrolled in billiards.

Crooke and Copeland used the now-restricted pool tables the week before the semester started and then a few days into the semester, they found the doors locked.

With 97 students in the billiards club and 324 students enrolled in billiards’ 19 class sections, Copeland said he is concerned it will not be possible to accommodate all those who want to be involved. He said it is especially unfair to those enrolled in the class, who paid a $50 fee to participate.

“I’ve definitely seen the overcrowding. I am there most of the day and the vast majority of the beginners classes are way too full,” Crooke said.

Kevin Kobe, campus recreation director, said: “On our end, this must be done because the university is following PCI compliance, which means that areas with computers used for credit card transactions have to be secured.”

The area where the two restricted pool tables are located was bringing students into an area that should have been secured. In addition to this

issue, Kobe said office space is in demand for the campus recreation department, so removing the pool tables will vacate space that may be used for that need.

James Morales, vice president of student services, said the tables will most likely be moved into a campus housing facility so they may be utilized. He said he believes the billiards instructors could potentially move their classes in order to access the relocated pool tables. However, petitioners such as Crooke said they do not see this being efficient.

“If they put the pool tables in housing, it will be away from class, and that isn’t going to help the class at all,” Crooke said. “We do understand the rules, we’ve heard about them, and it’s a valid reason to move the tables. We just don’t like that they took them without letting anybody know.”

The students petitioning against this change believe there is a more accommodating way to relocate the tables, such as rearrange the room the pool tables are in, or find another location in the Fieldhouse for them.

PCI officers will allow one to two months for campus recreation to comply with the security policy. In addition to securing the area where the pool tables will be removed, all recreation equipment will be issued through a window, rather than students walking into the room to check out the items.

Diversity Center will benefit the university in four main ways.

The first is that it will increase visibility of the five organizations.

“Individually, they may be easy to miss,” he said, “but combining them makes it a more collective opportunity.”

Second, forming this group will create synergy, he said. It will combine the expertise from across the university, forming an even stronger group.

“We selected the most talented and experienced staff,” Bogdan said.

Morales said the new model will require staff to reach across their particular responsibilities to support students in other areas.

The third benefit to the merger is that it will increase funding for everyone, Morales said.

“It allows us to leverage the money we have. Pooling the money will give us strength to use it better and more effectively,” he said.

The other huge benefit is that it will increase opportunity for interaction both at the university level as well as globally, Morales said.

“In effect, the center will allow for new efficiencies and even better levels of student service,” Bogdan said.

Student services refers to the

old organization as the “separate silos” model, and it wasn’t working, Bogdan said. Morales said it wasn’t supporting students to the best of the organizations’ capabilities.

The office has created an internship program and there is scholarship money available to students in all five of the services, she said, which will create more opportunities and outlets for students.

“Our goal is to instill a sense of stewardship and leadership in students,” she said.

“A lot of students may come in to the center not really knowing what they need or where to go,” Morales said. “Everyone in our office is wellequipped to help students the best they can. It’s a one stop shop.”

Bogdan said the key is knowing the right questions to ask.

“We chose very strong people,” Morales said, “and that is a key benefit.”

Hopefully other universities will realize the benefits of a program like this, he said.

“Utah State University is a leader,” he said. “This shows our commitment to students and our leadership in regards to access and diversity.”

Quad travel restricted

Construction fencing will go up in areas of Utah State University’s Quad beginning Saturday, Sept. 11.

At that time, access across the Quad from north to south will not be possible.

As part of construction for the new College of Agriculture building, Whitaker Construction, a subcontractor with Jacobsen Construction, will set up construction fencing on the north half of the Quad Sept. 11.

The anticipated completion of the construction phase is anticipated

by Oct. 9, with access to the middle walkway restored by Oct. 1.

From Sept. 11 until Oct. 1, pedestrian traffic to the buildings on the south side of the Quad, including Family Life and Ray B. West, will need to pass the Quad to the west of Old Main or via the temporary walk at the George S. Eccles Business Building to the east.

Semi rolls over in Providence Two people were hospitalized and another 12 released with minor injuries following a multiple-car accident near Macey’s in Providence at 1200 South Highway 165.

A semi-truck heading northbound came through the intersection after apparently running a red light, impacting multiple vehicles as it went through. The semi then rolled onto its side and impacted two more cars and a power box, which took out a power line.

The cabin of the truck then caught fire. The diesel-fueled truck had a full tank, which spilled into the roadway. The Logan Fire Department was able to contain the spill quickly before any fuel could seriously impact waterways.

Hospitalized were the driver of the truck and a female in her 60s, who had a broken pelvis and ribs. The extent of the truck driver’s injuries are unknown, but it appears none are life-threatening.

X96: Radio guests used to help recruitment -continued from page 1 Utah State to be a part of it.

“We pride ourselves on our relationship with the other recruitment and admissions offices throughout the state and we wanted our school to continue to be well represented,” Hunsaker said.

Hunsaker also said events like these are often used as a recruitment tool so people listening to the program elsewhere will be able to see what Utah State has to offer.

All three of the hosts have been to the Utah State Campus before and said they love Cache Valley and find it a beautiful place.

“Driving down to the valley is beautiful,” Barberi said. “I wanted to go into the Sherwood Forest and find Robin Hood.”

She also said her favorite sign she has seen so far in the valley is the one located at the Y intersection on the south end of town, which reads, “Yes, we still sell propane.”

Allred said he came up on Sunday and was amazed to see “the flock of well dressed students roaming around on the streets.”

Jackson continued to say

Cache Valley is a very clean place, with clean streets as well as clean people.

Allred said Utah State University is his favorite school, at least until they go to Salt Lake Community College, their next tour location. He also said they have a least favorite school –BYU– and that won’t be changing from day to day.

“BYU is the only school in the state that isn’t allowing us to come,” Allred said. “We even offered to change the name of our show to Radio From Heck.”

Steadman said BYU responded to the invitation by saying they are a private institution so they can choose to not participate in the tour.

“They basically had the ‘we don’t have to’ attitude,” Jackson said.

The Radio From Hell DJs have each been in the radio industry for over 15 years.

Jackson started in 1982, Allred in 1980, and Barberi in 1995.

Despite being in radio for so long, Jackson and Allred said they wouldn’t recommend it, and Barberi was torn on the issue.

“It is a great job but I

wouldn’t want my daughter to do it,” she said.

When asked if they have any advice to aspiring students who want to go into broadcasting or radio, Allred had a very quick response.

“Don’t do it,” he said.

Jackson said it took him a long time to actually start making money and if you are in the business, you need to be in it for the long haul.

“It will hurt your marriage and your finances,” Jackson said.

Allred said it is more difficult than ever to get a job in broadcasting, and radio specifically but that is actually good for them at X96.

“There aren’t a lot of people trying to get a job in radio because it is so difficult, but that actually makes it better for us because it guarantees our job,” Allred said.

Jackson, Allred and Barberi all said they felt welcome as visitors to Logan.

“I love Logan,” Allred said.

“We have had a great time up here, it has been a great start to our tour.”

Alumni: Prospective hands–on workshops for students in the works -continued from page 1 dents. Once the 2,500 piggy banks being handed out are collected, students will get to vote to where the money will go. Collection dates were announced as Oct. 21-22 and March 17-18.

Tessa Goodall, member of the student alumni association board, said, “We know students don’t have a lot of money but this can quickly turn five dollars of change into 20.”

ASUSU President Tyler Tolson said it’s a “great way to support the university.”

Tolson also presented a new concept at Tuesday’s meeting after a visit with representatives of the speech communications department. He said the department has great aspects of leadership, professional development, and conf lict management. Tolson mentioned the possible development of a program that will be called The Institute for Communication and Leadership. The program will be aimed for those seeking professional development and may take the form of a seminar. Participants would expect to pay around $25 for a four-week program

and receive a completion certificate.

“In these times, small things are tipping people over the edge,” Tolson said.

“Having a certificate enhances your degree.”

The program will be university-sanctioned and include lectures and handson workshops given by faculty of the university.

Tolson saw some immediate support from council members Kaho Fiefa, Tom Atwood, and Alex Putnam.

However, all seemed to agree that some projections for attendance would be helpful.

Another concern was timing. Tolson said they were considering launching the program spring semester 2011 for students who would be graduating, although he said “nothing has been set in stone.”

Putnam voiced a concern that busy students might not sign up for extra work.

Tolson then said that offering f lexibility options for the program may solve that concern.

“So far it is only one day in the making,” he said.

Last on the agenda was the final approval of busi-

ness senator Skyler Jenks’ request for C&S funding.

The request was for $3,000 for the upcoming business week to help the school host a concert by musical artist Kalai. The money would pay the performer, lighting costs, and parking accommodations while making the concert free for students.

Refreshments will also be offered at the event to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

“We mainly want to create an atmosphere of excitement, while giving back to the Huntsmans for all of their generosity,” Jenks said.

He said another goal for the event is to help unite USU with the community.

Jenks told the council about a conversation with a local radio host who agreed that division between the community and school is a problem.

“We really want the community to feel welcome to come to events as well as all students,” Jenks said.

Upgrade: Displays past legacies of professors -continued from page 1 speech impairments and dif f iculty reading.

The building is a combination of an education and research facility with an early care and education center. Each section is named for two members of the Eccles family: Emma Eccles Jones and her sisterin-law, Dolores Doré Eccles.

During the dedication ceremony, portraits of each of the women were unveiled.

There was a photograph of Eccles and a painting of Jones by Heidi Darley. The portraits will be displayed in the new building.

Spencer F. Eccles, chairman and CEO of the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation spoke about Eccles at the dedication.

“Her perspective was always right on target,” he said.

Reverend Frederick Lawson, trustee of the Emma Eccles Jones Foundation spoke about Emma Eccles.

“Aunt Em was keenly interested in early child-

hood education,” he said.

He went on to say that Emma’s true passion was sharing her knowledge of teaching with other teachers.

Both Lawson and Eccles spoke about the convergence of the two programs.

Eccles said that one of the most rewarding aspects of the new facility is that it brings together legacies of two great women.

Children from the Edith Bowen Honors Choir sang a song about reading and education. Speaking of those students, Albrecht said, “This is why we’re here.”

“In a few months from now we will see this building take shape,” Larsen said.

Eccles summed up the program in a few short words, “The best is yet to come.”

Students with an idea, business proposition or surefire money-maker, have a way to make those dreams come true with Utah State University’s growing and expanding Innovation Campus.

The Innovation Campus started in 1986 when the first multi-tenant facility was completed. It was originally called the Research Park, but changed its name to Utah State’s Innovation Campus in 2001. According to the Innovation Campus website, it is “a place where university research is used to create a growing business atmosphere.”

Jacoba Mendelkow, Innovation Campus’ public relations representative, said USU realized home-based business would eventually outgrow the garage and therefore created a place where business owners could have a place that would help and provide them with access to the resources they needed.

“University research stays at the university and that’s not what we want,” Mendelkow said. “We want researchers to branch out, create jobs, build the local economy and in order to do that, you have to do it at a place.”

Mendelkow said those are exactly the things Innovation Campus is all about. The campus currently has 40 companies

renting out locations within the complex, which currently employs 800 USU students. They have businesses occupying 45 acres of their land, and still have 105 acres with which to expand.

“It’s a place where research can go to be developed, grow into a company, or commercialize in something, or develop in some other aspect of the research process,” Mendelkow said.

Some of the businesses are university spin-offs, meaning the research has been done on campus, been commercialized and used to create a business, while others are local businesses who come looking for a place to rent so their business can grow.

The businesses do not have to be affiliated with USU at all, but once they become a part of the Innovation Campus, the rent they pay for their building or office space includes numerous benefits, such as the use of the Merrill-Cazier Library, discounts on services through Qwest and USU data with a onegigabit connection.

The Innovation Campus is home to companies such as Convergys, Information Alliance, InTech Collegiate High School and the Space Dynamics Lab. InTech Collegiate High School was an initiative from then-Governor Michael Leavitt to begin the Early College High Schools program at the Universities. It is a public charter school that teaches with an emphasis on math, science and engineering that was started

in 2006. It had originally only had two grades, freshmen and sophomores. It now has grown into a four-year high school.

Their mission statement states they strive to give every student the opportunity of completing high school and two years of college while still allowing the students to meet all the necessary state graduation requirements.

According to Jason Stranger, principal and CEO of InTech Collegiate High School, the Innovation campus is helpful in helping the staff meet the goals that they have for their stu-

America’s water crisis discussed at USU

AUTHOR ROBERT GLENNON will offer his approach to water conservation Friday, Sept.

17 at 1:30 p.m. in the TSC auditorium. Glennon is a water code consultant for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and has been a guest on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” “The Diane Rehm Show.” photo courtesy TAYLOR ADAMS

By TAYLOR ADAMS guest writer

Robert Glennon will explain America’s water woes and offer a new approach to water conservation during his lecture, “Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What To Do About it”, Friday, Sept. 17 at 1:30 p.m. in the TSC auditorium.

His lecture explores water problems across America. From Las Vegas casinos to agricultural crop production, Glennon will discuss signs that the nation’s water supply is in danger of drying up.

Glennon is the author of “Water Follies: Groundwater Pumping and the Fate of America’s Fresh Waters,” which was published by Island Press in 2002. His new book, on which his lecture is based and with which it shares a title, was published in April 2009. He has been a guest on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” “The Diane Rehm Show,” C-SPAN2’s Book TV, and National Public Radio shows in New York City, Chicago and Phoenix. Glennon is also an occasional blogger for the Huffington Post and has published articles in the Washington Post and Arizona Republic.

Glennon is a Morris K. Udall Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of Arizona, water policy adviser to Pima County, Ariz. and water code consultant for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Associate Dean of he College of Agriculture Janet Anderson said she has previously attended one of Glennon’s lectures and is excited to announce his visit to USU. “As a water attorney, Robert Glennon is wellversed about water issues and water ownership in the West,” she said. “He provocatively portrays the ongoing problem and grasps the audience’s attention from start to finish.”

In his lecture, Glennon will attempt to dispel common myths about the water crisis and use what he calls “surreal and real solutions” to give real-life examples of how America is trying to solve the problem.

Examples of surreal solutions, according to his book, are cloud seeding and importing water from water-short to water-rich areas. One of the most important real solutions is conservation, Glennon says.

“Los Angeles gets barely three inches of rain a year more than Tucson,” he said. “Yet millions of southern Californians have lush, water-intensive landscapes. Surely the state can do better than that.”

He offers a variety of solutions to those who attend his lecture, ranging from encouraging conservation through the use of price signals to re-examining the role of toilets in our society.

“Approximately one-third of indoor domestic water use is to flush toilets,” he said. “That’s six billion gallons per day, or two trillion gallons per year. Toilets waste water, energy and money, harm the environment, and threaten human health.”

Tiffany Maughan, a horticulture major, said she will be attending the lecture to learn more about water conservation.

“I’ve always been interested in water conservation,” Maughan said. “As a horticulture student, everything I do involves water and since it is a limited resource, I have the responsibility to use it wisely.”

Glennon’s lecture will be followed by a question-and-answer session and is open to the entire USU community, free of charge. The lecture is funded by The USU College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, Cooperative Extension and Sustainability Council.

About the author, the tale of the frozen drink No good weekly series is complete without a good ol’, hearty, “about the author” passage. Feel lucky, my dear friends, because the time has come for me to give such a ditty.

Now, most of these selected articles may highlight the life and upbringing of the said author – their hometown, past works, their family, possibly their waist size – but, in order to give you a more intimate and heartfelt detail into my life, I’ve decided to emphasize my most profound characteristic: Slurpees.

You heard me right.

Slurpees.

You’re confused, aren’t you?

I can’t say I blame you, there are few people – or as I would call them “Freezebrains” – who harbor a portion of their livelihood to America’s most respected frozen drink.

These people, however, are joined in tradition, pleasantry and an assortment of delicious fruity flavors.

As eerie as it sounds, the astounding thaw-less thirst-quencher has been an incredibly intricate part of my life. My first Slurpee experience spawned at the ripe age of nine. I walked hand in hand with my 13year-old sister to the 7Eleven a mere three blocks

Just a few laughs

SteveSchwartzman from our Los Angeles home, where I was introduced to a 12-ounce, cherry-flavored miracle accompanied by a remarkable yet amusing colored hybrid of straw and spoon.

I sat through sleepless nights all week thinking about my new frozen friend, much like most guys in chick flicks do after their first date with Jennifer Garner. The very next week we repeated the process, only this time the miracle became an icon as I had found the single fact that solidifies the former darkhorse as a bona fide legend: they have a Coke flavor (“It tastes just like the soda!” exclaimed my thrilled and partially rattled nine-yearold brain).

Before I knew it, I was caught in a world of mixing flavors, alternating straw designs, and the consistent hoarding of spare change we Freezebrains have come to secure as more of a lifestyle than just a tasty treat.

And I’ve never looked back.

It’s been 12 years since the beverage discovery that changed my life for the cool and refreshing better.

In that time I’ve grown as a man and a Slurpee connoisseur. I’ve even got the full technique down, the sure fire way to the perfect Slurpee.

You see, it’s starts with the selection of flavors.

Most great Slurpees come three-fold – you need a base flavor which takes up most of the cup’s real estate (usually soda-themed like Coke or Mountain Dew), then a good portion of your primary accessory flavor (most prefer cherry or grape, possibly banana, be creative on this one, it’s your time) and finally a dash of the secondary accessory flavor (quite frankly, it’s free game here, anything you want, just go crazy).

When properly placed in the cup, and with the

right tension when turning the levers on the machine, your heart and wrist will process a golden mixture sure to numb every problem whether it is economic crisis or David Archuleta losing on American Idol.

The process of the perfect Slurpee has become a wisdom and allegory for my life, an inward edict bent on helping me become the man I am today. My experience in Freezebrain lore has taught me love, friendship, patience (have you ever tried to scrape the last bit of a Slurpee with the spoon? It takes time, my friend.), and most of all the reassurance that deep inside every troubled heart is an ice-laden lover whose only care in the world is making you happy.

Last, but certainly not least, let us never commit the sin of mistaking the Slurpee with any other second-rate frozen drink. Not just any beverage will do.

If in any way your heart is taken by an Icee, Sonic Slush, Frazil, or even, heaven help me, a snow cone, do not fear. There is yet time for you to change and make better of the world you live in. There is a 7Eleven near you, waiting for you, wishing for you to return as a frozen-drink-loving prodigal son or daughter.

Go for it. Pick the flavors you enjoy, go easy on the levers and make sure to pack the ice down and get more for your money.

Twelve years of sheer enjoyment has taught me it will be an experience never forgotten.

So now you know a little more about me. I, Steve Schwartzman of Tooele, Utah, am a devout Freezebrain. Slurpees are who I am, and inside each and every one of us is the truth that to every good thing in this world there is a frozen wonder just as eager to give joy. Never let it fade away.

And, in case you were wondering, my waist size is 36.

Although the products are offered in black or white, customers also can buy an attachable case in myriad colors and patterns called an iBack.

Thinking Apple Inc.? Not quite. This is Meizu Technology Co., a young Chinese brand that could be one of dozens of companies making iPhone look-alikes in China. But it has taken much more inspiration from the Cupertino, Calif., company than simply the design of its popular mobile phone.

With its massively hyped announcements, leaked photos of prototypes and legions of fans both at home and abroad, Meizu has taken the unusual step for a Chinese manufacturer of imitating a foreign brand’s marketing strategy.

The driving force behind this Chinese upstart is an enigmatic chief executive, Jack Wong, who is rarely seen in public but keeps a curiously strong fan base energized with occasional online chats.

“Jack Wong is a kind of Steve Jobs character – it’s all a very carefully orchestrated PR campaign,” said Chris Ziegler, mobile editor for taste-making tech blog Engadget, which covered the release of Meizu’s first iPhone clone, the M8, last year.

“If you look at Meizu’s forums, you notice this very strange cult of personality,” Ziegler said, “Every time (Wong) makes a comment on his company’s online forums, there’s this groundswell of pandemonium around those posts.”

In early June, Wong uploaded and promptly deleted grainy pictures of a next-generation phone onto the official Meizu forum, setting tech bloggers’ hearts aflutter with speculation on the upcoming product.

Toast time any time Last weekend I bought a loaf of Eat That sourdough bread.

I wanted to eat it that day while it was still fresh, but I didn’t have any specific plans for it. I didn’t have anything exciting on hand for a sandwich. I thought about making toast, but I have to admit the thought bored me a little. At least, until I did some research on the potential of a piece of toast. It turns out I will never be bored again.

The first thing I tried was an avocado mash toast. I just toasted a piece of that white sourdough bread and while it was still hot I spread it with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard (two parts mayo to one part mustard).

Then I mashed up half an avocado and stirred a little lemon juice and salt into it and spread it over the mayo and mustard.

It was to die for. And it made me want to try every kind of toast there ever was.

After my sourdough loaf was gone, I bought a baguette. I made a garlic-rosemary white bean spread and topped that with some roasted red peppers. It was filling enough to be lunch and delicious enough to be lunch again the next day.

Garlic Rosemary White Bean Toast 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced

2 ounces cream cheese (at room tempera ture) 2 teaspoons maple syrup, plus more for drizzling pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon vanilla – In a small bowl combine cream cheese, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Spread on toasted bagels or bread. – Top with toasted pecans and drizzle with maple syrup.

One of the best things about toast is that there is no end to the possibilities it has. There are whole websites dedicated to listing different ideas for toast. I asked at least a dozen people what their favorite way to eat toast was and I never got the same answer twice. Here are some of their ideas:

dash of salt (to taste) 1 (16 oz.) can white beans – Heat the olive oil, garlic and rosemary in a skillet on medium heat until it starts to sizzle. – Drain most of the liquid out of the white beans and add them to the olive oil. – While the beans are warming in the skillet mash them with a potato masher. – Remove from heat. (It will thicken as it cools). – Serve on toasted baguettes with roasted red peppers. (You can roast red peppers by slicing them and broiling them in the oven until they start to darken).

Now that I was on a crazed toast rampage I wanted toast for breakfast, too. So I bought bagels and made this delicious maple cream cheese spread.

It’s the hard-knock life Hints to finding employment in Logan

The summer is over and Aggies are back at school once again. This means some students will be looking for jobs, especially incoming freshmen.

Finding a job can be difficult because of the current circumstances of the national and local economies. Students have competition to deal with, and some places just plain aren’t hiring. Some students may even know someone who has graduated and has been waiting months to get a job. When we hear it’s tough to get a job we might ask ourselves this question: What can I do to get a job in Logan? • The first thing students can do is research to see what is available. The classified ads in several newspapers are a good place to start. Of course, in today’s world, it’s also convenient to look and apply for jobs online. One website students can visit is www.indeed.com. The university also has a great website, www.usu.edu/studemp, that lets students know about on-campus and off-campus jobs. Many of the jobs that are on the university website are also located on a job board in the hallway by the financial aid office of the TSC. • Some students are trying to find a job in their career. This is where Career Services at USU will be able to help. In fact, for those students who haven’t decided what career they’re interested in, it may be a good idea to stop by Career Services and get a career coach. This coach can help individuals choose a major and career, obtain an internship, prepare for graduate school and tests and help receive a job after graduation. • A career coach can also help individuals looking for a job by helping students figure out how to negotiate their salary and job offers. A coach can help prepare for interviews. Also, coaches will help build a network of alumni and employers.

All these things can help when trying to get a job and obtaining the best benefits from that job.

Melissa Schaeffer, associate director at Career Services, said students need to use all types of resources when looking for a job. She said they should also be proactive in connecting with the employers to communicate an interest in working for that employer. “People searching for jobs should research employers carefully in order to identify the skills they can use to solve a need or a problem for that employer, â€? Schaeffer said. • The more students know about an employer’s needs, the more individuals can impress them at the interview and on the job with certain knowledge and skills. If students want to set up an appointment with a career coach at career services, they can call 797-7777 or visit the website www.usu.edu/ career.

• One of the most important things about getting the job is the interview. To be successful in the interview, first research the company. Second, memorize some company facts. This enables the interviewee to sound knowledgeable and interested in the company. • Two other tips for job interviews are be prepared to answer tough questions and take your time to answer them. Students need to remember they don’t have to hurry through the questions asked. It’s more important that students answer them correctly than answer them quickly.

Apple: iPhone imitations created -continued from page 6 Regardless of whether Apple’s own information leaks are intentional, the company has become synonymous with this method of building and sustaining hype, keeping consumers guessing what new features the latest models will offer.

Wong’s calculated buzz-building hasn’t necessarily resulted in huge sales in the world’s largest cell phone market, estimated at 800 million users. Meizu controls only 0.9 percent of China’s fragmented sector for smart phones – high-end devices that can handle e-mail and Internet access. Still, that puts it only 0.1 percentage point behind Palm, a name-brand foreign competitor. “If you look at (their phones) from a specifications-level perspective, they really aren’t any different from your typical knock-off� iPhone, Ziegler said. “But they are able to cast a sort of mystery over their products that is very intriguing.�

It’s probably why Meizu commands a dedicated following.

Meizume, an unofficial fan site, has 39,500 members spread across the globe, from the United States to Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Asia.

Carl Pei, founder of the Meizu fan site in Sweden, said many fans are drawn to Meizu as a rejection of what Pei calls Apple’s “ecosystem�: iTunes and the Apple applications store, which is the only legal way to buy programs for the iPhone or iPod Touch. “Some people would like more freedom� from Apple, Pei said. “If you buy an iPod, for example, you (can only) use iTunes to add music to it.�

Then, of course, there’s the price. An iPhone 4 costs about $870 in China. The Meizu equivalent is a little more than $300. “Cost is the most important thing,� said Wang Dawei, a 23year-old recent university graduate who was window shopping at the Meizu store in Beijing.

Wong founded Meizu in 2003 and released its first product, the M6 MP3 player, three years later. Although the device was conventionally regarded as a copy of the iPod Nano, it included innovative features such as a vertical touch strip in place of Apple’s standard tracking wheel.

Meizu’s first iPhone clone, the M8, came out in 2009 and generated unanticipated positive feedback. An Engadget review acknowledged the device’s closeness to its inspiration but also called it “surprisingly good.� Excitement is building online about the release of an M9 in the coming months.

Little personal information is known about Wong even though he maintains a presence on his company’s public message board, answering users’ questions and receiving their feedback.

Meizu representatives declined to comment for this report, and Wong has never spoken on the record to foreign media.

Chinese magazine Business Story reported last year that Wong had never finished high school. One of the only photos of Wong available to the public shows a youthful man in a bare office, dwarfed by his towering leather computer chair and with an ancient clunker of a computer on his empty desk.

Whether Wong’s company will break out from its cult success is unknown. But there’s already one sign that the company must be doing something right.

Knockoff versions of the still-to-be released M9 have been spotted in Chinese cell phone markets at too-good-to-be-true prices, according to knockoff phone website M8cool.com. “It says something about Meizu,� Pei said. “It’s strange that people want to imitate a product that isn’t that well known.�

Vollyball team stays perfect with five set win

By TYLER HUSKINSON web editor

In-state rivals clashed Tuesday night as the Utah State Aggies took their undefeated record on the road against the BYU Cougars. The Cougars gave the Aggies all they could handle, stretching the game to five sets after falling behind 02, but the Aggies extended their unbeaten record to 10-0, defeating the Cougars 3-2 in front of 11,000 fans at the Smith Fieldhouse in Provo. The Aggies are now one win away from matching their best start in team history.

Despite an error-plagued first set, the Aggies battled to a 25-23 victory. Junior outside hitter Liz McArthur, who is ninth in the nation in hitting percentage, continued to hit well and finished the night with 15 kills, but struggled with accuracy, hitting just .133.

Sophomore opposite side hitter Shay Sorenson had six kills to propel the Aggies.

Sorenson, fresh off her USU student-athlete of the week award, led the Aggies with 16 kills on the night and a .382 hitting percentage. The first set started close, with the Aggies taking control midway through the set. The Cougars battled back, however, to bring the set to 22-21 in USU’s favor, but two costly Cougar errors and a kill by sophomore outside hitter Josselyn White gave the Aggies the early advantage.

Set two proved more difficult for the Aggies, who did not lead until senior Christine Morrill served an ace to give the Aggies a 20-19 lead. Morrill’s game changing ace was the second in a 5-1 run that gave USU the commanding lead. The Cougars then committed two untimely errors and Sorenson capitalized on two kills to give the Aggies the 25-23 for the second consecutive set.

The Cougars dominated the third set, jumping out to a 5-0 lead and never looking

back. The Aggies made things interesting when senior middle blocker Shantell Durrant came up with a huge block to cut the deficit to 18-19 late in the set, but a solid Cougar defense left the Aggies out of sorts and uncomfortable in their offense and the Cougars took the set 25-19.

The fourth set saw the same result from a different storyline. The Cougars jumped out to a 5-1 lead but the Aggies took an 11-7 lead behind the serving of sophomore libero Laurel Bodily, including backto-back service aces. USU then fell behind but never trailed by more than three. Two key kills from White kept USU close late in the set, but the Aggies cancelled out those two kills with two errors including a service error. The Cougars took the set 25-19.

Set five lived up to everything an in-state rivalry could.

With the moment in their favor, the Cougars continued to play strong and capitalized on many Aggie errors. In a set to 15 points, the Cougars led 12-7, forcing the Aggies into a timeout.

The Aggies then showed why they are undefeated, coming out of the timeout with a vengeance. USU used a 4-0 run to cut the deficit to one.

The Cougars and Aggies then traded errors before McArthur came up with huge kill to tie the set at 13 apiece. The two teams traded side-outs again to tie the set at 14-all. The game went back and forth to 16-16, when the Aggies scored back-to-back points to take the thrilling five set victory, 18-16.

The Aggies will host the Utah State Invitational on Friday and Saturday. The Aggies face Loyola Marymount and Utah Valley University on Friday, and UC Riverside on Saturday. USU will be looking for their best start in team history, and the title of state supremacy.

Wac to seek legal action against Fresno State and Nevada

By ADAM NETTINA sports editor

The Western Athletic Conference (WAC) has sued Fresno State and Nevada, according to WAC commissioner Karl Benson, who announced in a teleconference Tuesday that the league had taken the first step in enforcing the bylaw which would require the two schools to remain in the conference through the 2011-2012 season.

“The damages the WAC could incur if Fresno State and Nevada left early are very, very significant,” Benson said.

“That’s what has driven this: to protect the assets of the WAC as a corporate entity.”

Fresno State and Nevada accepted invitations to join the Mountain West Conference (MWC) on July 18, and have each made their intention known to leave the WAC after the 2010-2011 season.

However, both schools missed the July 1 deadline to notify the WAC of their intentions, legally binding them to the conference for the 2011-2012 year.

Benson’s announcement comes at a critical time in the WAC, which intends to operate

as an eight-member conference for the 2011 football season and then add programs after the two schools leave for the MWC. Not having Fresno State or Nevada as conference members in 2011 could threaten the WAC’s ability to operate as a football conference, and lead to further defections of the conference’s remaining teams to other leagues.

“The WAC is simply seeking to protect its interests and insure that all member institutions are protected from a potential and threatened violation of the bylaws,” Benson said. “Such inappropriate action would make it impossible for member institutions to schedule athletic events and thereby would adversely affect the WAC, the WAC member institutions and the studentathletes.”

“We’ve declared pretty consistently that the football schedule for 2011 would be drastically challenging for the remaining members if they lost two football games less than a year away,” Benson added.

The WAC is also requiring the two schools to pay a $5 million exit fee, which is currently a separate issue which will not be handled in court.

UTAH STATE LINEBACKER KYLE GALLAGHER leaps for an interception during Saturday’s game against Idaho State. Gallagher, who describes his style of play as akin to a tank, led USU with 11 tackles in the season opener against Oklahoma. On two consecutive plays he made tackles in which his helmet came off, bringing cheers from Aggie students watching in the TSC. TODD JONES photo

The art of hitting people USU linebacker Kyle Gallagher is ‘throwback’ on back-to-back tackles.

playlist certainly supports his hard-nosed mentality. To get pumped-up for games, Gallagher likes to listen to hard-rock music, listing Trapt’s “Headstrong” and Drowning Pool’s “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor” among his pregame favorites. He said the anthems help him get his mind set for games, and help him simplify his job on the field.

USU will need Gallagher to continue his early season success this weekend when the Fresno State Bulldogs (1-1) come to town. After spearheading the defense in a shutdown performance of the Idaho State rushing game last week, Gallagher and fellow linebacker Bobby Wagner will be asked to pick up the slack if injured starter Junior Keiaho is unable to return to action by Saturday.

Going into the season, the million-dollar question facing USU was whether or not the rush defense would be improved enough to allow the Aggies to return to the postseason for the first time since 1997. And while the results have been mixed through the season’s first two games, the Aggies’ prospects look bright thanks to the throwback linebacker who “likes to hit people.”

Adam’s WAC football power poll: Week three 3) Nevada (2-0): Colin Kaepernick continues to prove that he’s not just one of the best players in the WAC ,but in the entire country, raking up 402 total yards to lead the Wolf Pack to a 516 rout of Colorado State Sept. 11. Coach Chris Ault’s pistol offense was lethal in more ways than one, with Nevada scoring on every possession and finishing the game with 631 yards of total offense. They get a tough test with Cal coming to town Friday night, but will have a chance to show the country that they’re the real deal.

After an exciting week one which saw both Boise and Fresno State pull major upsets, week two was relatively quiet for Western Athletic Conference teams, with all seven active teams failing to make national waves amidst a sea of upsets and fantastic finishes around the country. But week two in the WAC wasn’t without its fair share of highs and lows, and from the non-conference battles WAC teams were involved in, the relative strengths of each team are coming into view with conference action right around the corner.

1) Boise State (1-0): This time last week, it looked like the Broncos were a sure-fire topthree team, with pollsters taking note of Boise State’s impressive 33-30 comeback win over Virginia Tech. Boise received no less than eight first-place votes in the AP Poll after defeating the Hokies, who despite the loss, many still expected to win the Atlantic Coast Conference. Yet the Broncos’ hopes at making a national title game may have taken a hit when Virginia Tech was upset at home by James Madison on Saturday, making Boise State’s week one upset look less like an upset. Case in point, Boise State lost seven of its eight firstplace votes in the AP Poll. While they won’t be tested this week at Wyoming, Boise State will have another chance to state its case as a title contender in two weeks as the team hosts Oregon State.

2) Fresno State (1-0): Like the Broncos, Fresno State was idle during week two, but unlike the Broncos, Fresno State’s lack of action worked to its benefit. The latest AP Poll finds the Bulldogs just outside the Top 25 at No. 27, with Pat Hill’s team preparing to travel to Logan to take on USU this weekend. If the Bulldogs are able to play defense like they did against Cincinnati in week one, the Aggies could find themselves in big trouble. Fresno State, which had all of 11 sacks combined in 2009, registered eight sacks in the season opener and features a tremendous tandem of players up front in tackle Logan Harrell and end Chris Carter. They’ll need to get the running game going to threaten Boise for the top spot, however, as sophomore Robbie Rouse averaged a pedestrian 2 yards per carry in the opener. Rouse, who is in his first year as a starter after last year’s star Ryan Matthews left for the NFL, will miss Saturday’s game with Utah State due to injury.

4) Hawaii (1-1): A week after scarring Southern Cal at home, the Warriors proved too much for Army in a come-from-behind 31-28 win on the road. Hawaii jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the game and although the Warriors allowed Army’s triple-option offense to get back on track, Greg McMackin’s crew showed tremendous resolve down the stretch. Quarterback Bryant Moniz continues to shine, and against a very stout Army defense on Saturday he went 25-36 for 343 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions. The team showed its true resolve with a game-winning field goal with only seconds left. This is a win which could prove a defining turning point for the team’s season.

7) Louisiana Tech (1-1): The scoreboard may not have shown it, but Saturday’s 48-16 loss to Texas A&M wasn’t that bad. Louisiana Tech should have gone into the half down only 14-10, but a penalty wiped out a Bulldog interception and allowed the Aggies to complete a hail-mary pass to go up 2110 as the half expired. On the downside, the Bulldogs turned in another sloppy offensive performance, managing only 1.5 yards per rush and turning the ball over four times. The bigger dissapointment, however, may have been the Tech defense.

The Bulldogs gave up more than 500 yards against Texas A&M. They’ll have another tough task against Navy when they take on Navy’s option offense this weekend.

8) San Jose State (0-2): Week two saw another big loss for the Spartans, but also several bright spots. Wisconsin Heisman trophy candidate John Clay ran all over San Jose State, but the Spartans did manage more than 300 yards of offense on their own, with quarterback Jordan Le Secla showing marked improvement by passing for 228 yards and two touchdowns. This week should finally yield results in the win column as the Spartans host Southern Utah.

5) Utah State (1-1): If the Aggies benefited from their decisive 38-17 win over Idaho State on Saturday, than they struck gold in the eyes of conference observers considering Oklahoma’s dominant win over Florida State in week two. USU, which took Oklahoma down to the wire in week one, was impressive on offense and defense against the Bengals, but didn’t help its case as the next “surprise� WAC team by committing 10 penalties. Depth is a concern given the injuries the team has incurred, but the Aggies will have a chance to show they’re legitimate this weekend when Fresno State comes to Logan.

9) New Mexico State (0-2): The first quarter of the season began well enough for the Aggies, who jumped out to a 7-0 lead over San Diego State on an 18-yard Kenny Turner run. It was all downhill from there, however, as the Aztecs rattled off 20 unanswered points. Quarterback Matt Christian, making his first career start, was impressive enough with 223 passing yards and two touchdowns, but head coach DeWayne Walker has got to be concerned with his defense after it allowed the Aztecs 563 total yards.

6) Idaho (1-1): Granted, Idaho was down 31-3 at the half during Saturday’s loss to Nebraska, but it was Nebraska, after all. A week after looking effective in the opener, Idaho quarterback Nathan Enderle threw five picks against the ‘Huskers, hitting just over 50 percent of his passes for a pathetic 4.5 yards per completion. Defensively, Saturday was a disaster for the Vandals, who gave up 360 yards on the ground. They’ll have a chance to redeem themselves before a national TV audience on ESPNU against UNLV this Saturday.

An intriguing matchup of 2-0 teams, this week’s showdown in Reno will go a long way to telling WAC fans if the Wolf Pack can challenge Boise State for conference supremacy later this year.

California is no lightweight, and after pounding Colorado 52-7 last week, the Golden Bears should present a challenge to the Wolf Pack defense. The game will be on national TV at 8 p.m.

MST on ESPN2.

Southern Watch: Sports around Utah

By TAVIN STUCKI staff writer

University of Utah Football Although starting quarterback Jordan Wynn did not play due to an injured thumb, the Utes beat UNLV this weekend at Rice-Eccles Stadium 38-10. Last year’s starter Terrance Cain filled in for Wynn, but his performance was not enough to fool anyone into thinking that he is the Utah starting signal caller.

Cain completed 13 of 20 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns, including one at the end of the first half to Jerome Brooks to give Utah a 17-3 lead. Utah Head Coach Kyle Whittingham said he was pleased with the way Cain handled himself on the field. “I was proud of Terrance Cain,� Whittingham said. “He made a lot of good decisions and made almost all of the right throws.�

The win was the 19th-straight home victory for Utah, which has now been ranked by both the AP and USA Today polls as the No. 14 team in the country, moving up six places from last week’s No. 20 rank.

Volleyball The Utah Women’s Volleyball team lost all three of their games this weekend at the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational in Springfield, Missouri.

The closest the team came to winning was on Saturday when it took Missouri State University to five sets.

The tournament losses take Utah’s record down to 5-5. Ute head coach Beth Launiere was not happy with the results. “We struggle with our block, our defense and getting kills all weekend,� Launiere said. “We’re passing and serving well but we’re not stopping teams ... We just have to get better.�

Despite the losses, freshman Morgan Odale was named to the all-tournament team. The 6’1� outside hitter from Star, Idaho was the only representative from Utah to earn the distinction.

Quarterbacks Riley Nelson and Jake Heaps accounted for only 88 yards passing in the team’s embarrassing 35-14 loss at Air Force on Saturday. Although they were never able to come up with a sack, the Falcon defense denied BYU any points on the scoreboard after the first quarter. Cougar head coach Bronco Mendenhall said he thought Air Force’s defense played well. “I was impressed with their defense,�

Mendenhall said. “They deserved to win the game.�

Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun was equally impressed and excited about his team’s defensive performance. “I just thought our defense was absolutely special today,� said Calhoun. “After the initial drive, we probably played as well defensively against Brigham Young as we have maybe ever. “ The Falcons shredded BYU with the their rushing attack. The team ran for 409 yards, with Asher Clark leading the way. The 5’8� junior used his 185-pound frame to take the ball 18 times for 121 yards.

BYU is now 1-1 and win-less in conference play. Their next game can be seen on ESPNU when they travel to Florida State on Saturday, Sept. 30 at 3:30 p.m. Florida State was previously ranked No. 17, but has dropped from the rankings this week after losing to No. 10 Oklahoma.

Women’s Soccer After beating Marquette 2-1 on Saturday, the No. 10 Cougars are still undefeated.

Lindsi Lisonbee scored her second goal of the season in the first minute on a header after a corner kick to give BYU the early lead. Freshman Lynda Hercules was substituted into the game in the 34th minute and scored her first ever collegiate goal a minute later.

The only goal from the Golden Eagles came late in the game as Rachel Brown found the net after an assist from Katie Hismeth. BYU will next travel to face the Rice Owls in Texas Sept. 18. – tavin.stucki@aggiemail.usu.edu

Aggies face real test this week Two weeks into the The View football seafrom son, things are starting Section F to become clearer. That is, at least for the Aggies.

Around much of the rest of the country, there are plenty of questions left unanswered.

Is Virginia Tech really that good if they’re getting knocked off at home by James Madison? And if Virginia Tech isn’t all that good, what does that say about Boise State after they needed some major late-game heroics to pull out the victory over the Hokies in week one? My bet is on them still being the powerhouse that everyone anticipated them to be, but there’s at least a tiny bit of doubt on that now.

Then, there’s Oklahoma, who mercilessly demolished Florida State a week after USU nearly beat the Sooners in their own house. There are reports from Oklahoma fans online that a fan in OU’s student section hoisted a sign in the second half of the Sooners’ win over the Seminoles that read, “Utah State was better.”

Score one for us.

Speaking of the Aggies, they put together another solid performance Saturday against Idaho State, beating the Bengals 38-17 in a game where the final score wasn’t totally indicative of how well USU played.

After allowing a 47-yard kickoff return to set the Bengals up at midfield for their opening drive, USU gave up 31 yards to Idaho State, eventually allowing a field goal on the drive. That was about where the fun ended for Idaho State, as the Aggies controlled the remainder of the game, going up 38-3 before yanking a handful of the starters prior to the start of the fourth quarter.

While ISU gained a total of 285 yards on the game, just 158 of those came in the first three quarters while the Aggies

Matt Sonnenberg

had their starters out on the field. And even though giving up 14 points and 127 yards of offense in the fourth quarter might not put a smile on head coach Gary Andersen’s face, it gave those second and third-string guys a taste of action, and the coaching staff some film of those players to work with in correcting mistakes for the future.

Now things get really interesting. Week one was a match-up where the Aggies were supposed to get blown out, and while they impressed the hell out of everyone, they still came up short. Week two was a match-up where the Aggies were supposed to be the ones responsible for orchestrating a blowout, and they did just that.

Week three against Fresno State is the first game with high stakes for the outcome of the rest of the season, as neither team will be a heavy favorite over the other. Not only that, but it’s Utah State’s first chance at vengeance against the WAC-stabbers of 2010, giving everybody associated with Utah State that much more gasoline to throw onto the fire.

Last week was one of the most impressive student turnouts at Romney Stadium that I’ve seen in my college years, which are great in number by this point. Typically, those turnouts have steadily declined as the season rolls on in past years, but then again, the team hasn’t been this good in probably at least a decade.

Just as the team has seen a drastic change in attitude compared to past years, the fans need to show the same at this point and ramp up their intensity at games rather than trickle down in numbers as the season rolls on.

After all, this Saturday will be Romney Stadium’s final tune-up before the ESPN cameras show up on Oct. 1, giving us a chance to show off just how big time USU football has become, both on the field and in the stands.

The day the music died

Editor in Chief

t almost seems like a running trend of highprofile music acts visiting Utah State’s campus this fall, starting with Quietdrive and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus during the first week of classes, and later this fall We The Kings will be visiting to perform for The Howl.

On Monday, a different kind of high-profile act from the music industry made its way to Logan in the form of the X96 Radio From Hell morning show.

For any person who spent their high school years in the Salt Lake City, Ogden or Provo area, Radio From Hell was the morning show that everybody listened to. Not only that, but X96 is, and has been, the go-to radio station for rock and roll music in the Salt Lake area for as long as any college-aged student can remember.

So, for Radio From Hell to make its way to Utah State for a day is definitely a welcome guest appearance to have. There’s just one glaring problem with X96 coming to Logan ... You can’t get X96 on an FM radio in Cache Valley.

It serves as a tease to anyone who has lived within range of X96’s signals that the best reception anyone can get of the station in Logan is a static mess that will have you switching back to your iPod in no time.

Whether it be the Radio From Hell show or the rest of X96’s radio programming, the little station from Salt Lake City is often regarded as one of the best in the country, and that little station chose Utah State as a destination to bring its popular morning show on the road for a day.

It’s definitely an honor to have had them, but we think that it would be much nicer if everyone could still listen to Radio From Hell on a regular basis, rather than just bask in the nostalgia of what used to be for the single day that X96 paid us a visit. We can only hope that it won’t be much longer before the powers that be come through with the delivery of a strong enough signal for Salt Lake radio programming to reach Utah State students, to go along with the occasional visit from Radio From Hell.

To build, or not to build We destroyed two of their Opposition countries, destabilized their entire region, and caused the Research deaths of tens of thousands of their innocent women and children. Throw in trillions of dollars, an inept American government and you have the perfect recipe to recruit young jihadists to blow themselves up in the name of radical Islam. Sadly, however, this has not been the case for the last few weeks. Rather than government typically screwing up and forcing all of us to suffer the consequences, this time we’re the ones screwing ourselves over.

In the last couple of weeks we have been talking about the Ground Zero mosque and whether it should or should not be built. And by talking, I mean watching angry people yell at each other over the television and seeing protesters marching around Ground Zero on 9/11.

Sadly for us, terrorist aren’t stupid. People like Anwar alAwlaki, the American-born turned jihadi-whackjob, have been posting videos for al-Qaida in English. What’s their take on all of this? The spectacularly powerful message that America is at war with Islam.

And you know what, they might be right, at least in the eyes of those living in the Middle East. Awlaki is a smart guy.

He’s been using the opposition to the mosque to advance alQaida. What better recruitment tool is there than the image of Americans protesting Muslims’ promotion of peaceful religious co-existence and understanding?

The extent of the opposition to the mosque has the state department in full force trying to limit damage control. They’re desperately trying to convince Muslims abroad and here at home that we are not at war with their religion. They understand the consequences if their message fails to get across.

This is why we must build the Ground Zero mosque. This is the single greatest opportunity to build a bridge to the Muslim community. If we are sincere in our beliefs of peaceful religious coexistence with Islam, the time to stand up is now. If we sit down, then we have allowed terrorist such as Awlaki to determine what our image is in the Middle East and recruitment will never be a problem again.

Sadly, the media doesn’t get this and has been relentless in its negative coverage about the mosque. In Florida the religious nut-job Pastor Terry Jones publicly announced his plans to burn Qurans on the ninth anniversary of 9/11.

Instead of ignoring this idiot and moving on to more pressing issues, the president of the bloody United States weighed in his opinion, as did General Petraeus and a lovely call from the FBI. In the end, Jones called off the event. But no worries, the Westboro Baptist Church – you know them, the crazy ones that protest at military funerals – burned Qurans for the hell of it anyways.

The growing presence of Telenovelas Brazilian scholar Antonio La Pastina will visit USU Friday to give a talk on Brazilian telenovelas (soap operas). The talk is hosted by the department of languages, philosophy, and speech communication and the Latin American studies minor program. La Pastina is an associate professor at Texas A&M. Titled “Watching telenovelas in Brazil: What we know so far,” La Pastina’s talk represents a unique opportunity for those interested in Brazil to reflect on the central presence of the telenovela in Brazilian culture and society.

In this regard, the scholar Maria Immacolata Lopes contends that “nowadays, to speak of culture in Brazil is to speak necessarily about the ‘Brazilian telenovela.’”

It is no surprise that telenovelas are an integral part of the national culture given that Brazilians (this author included) have been born with telenovelas as part of their everyday life. The scholar Thomas Tufte goes as far to say that in Brazil, telenovelas have “a popularity, a presence and an influence on everyday life, that must be difficult to find likewise any other place in the world.”

Truth is, the telenovela is one of the most popular television genres in the world. In 2002, the global telenovela industry was estimated to be worth more than $2.5 billion. This industry is largely centered in Latin America, especially in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Argentina.

But what is a telenovela?

La Pastina gives this definition: “The telenovela is a form of melodramatic serialized fiction produced and aired in most Latin American countries. These programs have traditionally been compared to English lan-

extremes. The variations are open-ended, both within and across countries.

Scholar Ana M. López notes, however, that while still visible, these national styles began to blur in the late 1980s. This is particularly true for telenovelas co-proguage soap operas and even duced by two or more Latin though the two genres share American countries, which some characteristics and tend to minimize elements of similar roots, the telenovela local color, particularly local in the last three decades has accents and expressions. evolved into a genre with its They do so by making no own unique characteristics. direct references to a particuFor example, telenovelas in lar country (or, for that matmost Latin American counter, a specific city), and by tries are aired in prime-time using multinational casts.

U.S. Latinos and Latinas, they experience telenovelas as the source of many of their collective memories and shared experiences.

Latin American telenovelas can be viewed on several Spanish-language cable and satellite networks. Due to language differences, Brazilian telenovelas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except for those broadcast directly via satellite by Globo TV International â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are dubbed into Spanish before they air in the U.S. In concluding, one may say that since its inception 50 years ago, the telenovela has traveled around the globe, crossed geographical and political borders as well as socioeconomic classes, endured economic crises, and even suffered reversals of fortune (such as in Cuba, Puerto Rico and Ecuador) while showing no signs of imminent death or extinction as a worldwide popular genre. Latin American continues to produce and distribute the greatest number of telenovelas, although telenovela production is no longer limited to that region. As a matter of fact, telenovelas made in the U.S. have also enjoyed enormous success in Latin America.

It is widely believed that if telenovela production in the U.S. continues at the current pace, the flow of distribution of telenovelas, which has traditionally been from South to North, might begin to shift the other way. Maybe. Maybe not. Only time will tell. Meanwhile, you are invited to learn more about Brazilian telenovelas at La Pastinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk Sept. 17 at 2:30 p.m. at the Business Building, room 319.
