Stanfordresearchers

develop superskin

By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

Stanford researchers have devel-oped a stretchable, skin-like sensoras the latest accomplishment in asso-ciate professor of chemical engineer-ing Zhenan Baos quest to create asuper skin.

The transparent skin-like pres-sure sensor employs pioneering elas-tic that can stretch to twice its normallength in any direction and return toits normal length without sufferingany deformation. The sensor mayhave far-reaching applications in thefields of touch-sensitive computerdisplays, robotics and prostheticlimbs.A large variety of medical ap-plications may also be possible.

Darren Lipomi,a postdoctoral re-searcher, and Benjamin Tee andMichael Vosgueritchian,both gradu-ate students in electrical engineering,are the lead authors of the paperpublished online by Nature Nan-otechnology on Oct. 23. Bao is acoauthor.

The sensor can measure pressureon it, ranging from a pinch to theweight of an elephant, according to

Lipomi.The device uses a clear filmof single-walled carbon nanotubesacting as tiny springs, which protectthe sensor from damage whenstretched.

Researchers created the carbonnanosprings by spraying nan-otubes in a liquid suspension onto athin layer of silicone.

Stretching the silicone and re-turning it to its original shape formsthe nanotubes into tiny springs,which can then detect pressure,whilelimiting damage from future stretch-ing.Researchers pre-stretched thesilicone in both perpendicular direc-tions to lend the material the abilityto rebound when stretched from anydirection.

The nanostructures act as elec-trodes in measuring the force appliedto them, made possible by the factthat the stretching to create thesprings does not alter the electricalconductivity of the material.

The sensor itself consists of threelayers of silicone one layer of standard, easily deformed siliconesurrounded by two layers of the nan-otube-coated silicone.The two nan-otube-coated layers sense the changein electrical charge stored in the mid-

dle layer when force is exerted on thedevice.

Stanford FederalCredit Union

upgradesBy THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

The Stanford Federal CreditUnion (FCU) announced that it up-graded its relational core platform,used to process deposit and transac-tion accounts, to Open SolutionsInc.s premier core solution DNA.The $1.2-billion, 47,000-membercredit union had been using one of Open Solutions older core process-ing solutions, Wealthview BankingSystem,since 1999.

Stanford FCU said it will runDNA in-house alongside additionalsolutions, including DNAvoice,DNAmobile, DNAweb, and otherdocument management,business in-telligence and marketing software.

The best practices that we gainfrom this upgrade will allow us tobetter serve our community,becomemore relevant to the market andhelp support our growth,allowing usto ultimately take our business to thenext level, FCU senior vice presi-dent and chief information officerJim Phillips said in a statement re-

leased by Open Solutions.As the first institution to offeronline banking,Stanford FCU has aproud history of employing cutting-edge technology to serve its commu-nity,Open Solutions Chairman andCEO Louis Hernandez, Jr. said inthe same release.Stanford FCU isnot only a technology pioneer,but itis also a very well-respected institu-tion. As our client community con-tinues to grow,Stanford FCU has theability to extend its innovative her-itage by collaborating with otherbanks and credit unions using theDNA platform in limitless newways.

NEWS BRIEFS

sends a signal that these studentsare welcome, part of our communi-ties and ought to be attending Cali-fornia public universities as mem-bers of our state.

It was a difficult vote, said

Manish Choudhary, a second-yearengineering graduate student andpublic relations and communica-tions director for the GSC, wherethe bill was defeated 2-4.But whenyou make a law, [illegal aliens]should not get an advantage.

This advantage would be overinternational students, who do nothave access to financial aid frompublic funds.

I cant really say much. I wasupset, said ASSU Senator and thebills co-author Brianna Pang 13.But they voted, and they haveevery right to vote.

At Stanford,I feel like [the Cal-ifornia Dream Act] is more of asymbolic thing, she said. Withmost Stanford students, they getprivate financial aid from Stanfordanyway.But the passage can also setthe tone for the overall nationalconversation about the nationalDream Act.

The majority of the GSC, how-ever,cast aside symbolism to exam-ine the Senate bill from a practicalangle.

People who are here illegallywill have access to state funds, andpeople who are here legally will nothave access to the funds thatdoesnt sound right, Choudharysaid. And [students] will not beable to find jobs because they do

not have the legal right to work.I felt like a lot of opinions on

undocumented immigrants wereuninformed, Pang said.I feel likea lot of GSC members didnt neces-sarily know that much about citi-zenship and the Dream Act itself.

Srikantiah echoed the Under-graduate Senates vote.

We have to take a step backhere and revisit the . . . issue, whichis that the reality of our immigra-tion system is that there are tens of millions of undocumented people

in this country, and many of thoseare children who,as a practical mat-ter, are going to be spending theirlives in [the U.S.],she said.

We have to think about how wetreat members of our communityand [whether] we want to be en-couraging them to get higher edu-cation, she continued. I think theanswer to that question has to beyes.

in the citys budget passed by thecity council in June,without any ob-vious reductions in services.

The new deal, ratified by thefirefighters union in September,implemented a structural readjust-

ment of firefighter benefits,includ-ing establishing a second pensiontier for new employees and requir-ing employees to contribute to theirown pensions and medical premi-ums.Rather than the city paying itsfirefighters with shares to the Cali-fornia Public Employees Retire-ment System (CalPERS), unionmembers will directly start with a6.5 percent CalPERS member con-tribution, which will increase to 9percent the next year.

Stanford University pays for athird of the Palo Alto firefighterspayroll and a quarter of their costsfor fire engines and other capitalequipment.

One significant change throughthe new firefighter contract is theelimination of the mandatory mini-mum staffing condition. This con-tentious provision mandated that atleast 29 on-duty firefighters bepresent at all times, a costly actionfor the city.

The mandatory staffing re-quirement prevented the city frommanaging in an efficient way, saidCouncilman Larry Klein.

The agreement revamped theentire staffing section of the con-tract,stipulating a bare minimum of at least one fire captain,one fire ap-paratus operator and one firefight-er for each engine,truck and rescue

company. Similarly, only two para-medics will be on staff in the fire de-partment.

The councils Policy & ServicesCommittee is expected to give amore detailed report in Novemberon more ways to reduce staffingcosts and lower fire departmentstaffing levels.

Councilman Pat Burt stated thatthese changes were an importantstep and necessary measures to

take as a city in order for a sustain-able future.The deal, discussed extensively

by city officials, prevented possiblelayoffs of police officers and theclosing of fire stations, a proposalthey have contemplated since May.The new firefighter plan may closethe $4.3 million hole with the helpof a $2.1 million transfer of fundsfrom the citys budget stabilizationreserve.

The agreement required thefirefighters union to make conces-sions that most other union andnon-unionized labor groups of pro-fessionals and managers, includingthe Service Employees Interna-tional Union and Local 521, havemade over the past two years.Sincethe downturn of the economy,laborgroup members have faced tumul-tuous negotiations over their bene-fit packages, including acceptingsecond pension tiers and requiredcontributions to medical payments.

Initially, the firefighters strug-gled to reach a compromise withthe city council when city officialsrefused their $3.1 million proposalin late June and declined their of-fers of mediation in late July.

The initial proposal included$3.1 million in concessions that in-cluded a four percent wage de-crease for firefighters and engi-neers and a five percent decreasefor captains and fire inspectors, aswell as a 10 percent contribution totheir health insurance premiumsand adjustments to the pension for-mula for new employees.

However, the union presentedthe proposal while the city councilcontemplated altering the citysprocedure for settling labor dis-putes with public safety workersand management,which under cur-rent law is through binding arbitra-tion.

This led to the controversialNov. 8 ballot Measure D, opposedby the firefighter union,to overturnthe policy of binding arbitration.

of Education, Claude Steele. Theschool will also need to acclimateto a new location in East Palo Altonext year, per the two-year exten-sion agreement.

Stanford New Schools operateda middle and elementary schoolunti l April 2010, when theRavenswood City School Districtdiscontinued its charter for gradesK-4 and 6-8.The fifth grade operat-ed during the 2010-2011 schoolyear so that students could transi-

tion to junior high beginning insixth grade, but it will not resume.The decision to terminate the pro-gram was associated with theschools classification as persist-ently low-achieving by the state,largely because of its K-8 testscores.

Despite the high schools suc-cesses, the school board deniedStanfords five-year charter renew-al request for the Academy in 2010.

While Stanford New Schoolshad agreed to gradually terminateits K-12 program, the organizationdefended the high school and peti-tioned Sequoia Union High SchoolDistrict for charter renewal.

On May 4 this year, the Sequoia

Union High School District Boardof Trustees unanimously approvedthe charter petition. The highschool has now secured its charterfor the 2012-2013 academic yearand will have a new location onMyrtle Street in East Palo Alto.

It will be a new school,Reevessaid of the change. We are reallylooking at strengthening our earlycollege program. The new schoolwill definitely have more of a focuson [that].

As the schools situation be-comes more stable and predictable,the faculty described the environ-ment as becoming less stressful.

I think overall the culture haschanged, said EPAAHS Opera-

tions and Data Specialist GabrielaGuerrero.There are not as manyfights . . . [and] there have beenmore student activities.

I cant compare it to when Iwasnt here,Reeves said of her po-sition,going into her second year atthe school. I can just talk aboutwhat I see since Ive been here [sic].But I definitely feel like. . . we arestrengthening the instructionalprogram, working on the climate[and] preparing kids for college.

Obviously . . . we are just real-ly optimistic about our future, shesaid.

All that could be seen was a sea of red at theOrange Bowl last winter.The cheers of at-tendees drowned out individual voices,and the roar of crowd was all that could be

heard. Geoff Woo 11 lost his friendJonathan Zhang 11 in the mass of people,and it wasthere that they wished for a device that would letthem easily find each other essentially, a virtualMarauders Map. Inspired, Woo, Zhang and theirfriend Jonathan Chang 11 created Glassmap,a loca-tion-tracking iPhone ap-plication.

The trio had neverdone any iPhone codingbefore but were deter-mined to produce a work-ing product. The firstweek of spring quarterlast year,they blocked outtime for coding and spentnights at La Maison Fran-caise to work on whatwould become Glassmap.

In three weeks, theycreated a very rough, bat-tery-exhausting versionof the application. Track-ing applications requirereal-time updates, whichdrain the cell phones bat-tery,they said.This turnedout to be their greatesthurdle in developing theapplication.

Their original appcould only do somethingnave like [send out a sig-nal] once every few min-utes,once every five min-utes or once every twominutes,Woo said.

So they dove back intotheir work. They wantedto create a novel relay framework that surpassed theefficiency of their competitors. To do that, they pro-grammed the application to intelligently query the lo-cation of the user so that the time between signals wasbased on contextual clues. The modification, whichthey finished by June, allowed the application to runfor hours without wasting power.

But they werent done yet.The founders wanted toperfect their application before launching it, so theyrented a house in Palo Alto this past summer off of University Avenue.The three co-founders adhered to

a self-imposed schedule,working up to 16 hours a dayand often eating meals at their desks.

It was pretty much eat, sleep, gym, code, saidChang.

I dont want to make it sound too much like TheSocial Network, but it was kind of like that, Woosaid.

Though their summer living arrangement begs aSocial Networkcomparison,their partnership doesnot.They describe their relationship as without hier-archy or titles. For example, summer intern XavierFalco 12 was allowed the same amount of input aseveryone else.There were arguments,but in the end,

they defaulted back totheir philosophy that thebest idea wins, all threeco-founders said.

Glassmap launched inearly October to Stanfordstudents only.Ryan Brown12 was brought on boardto head campus outreachefforts and publicity, likethe Glassmap DormStorm, which attracted al-most 1,000 Glassmapusers.

Though the co-foundershave settled into niches,they have retained theiroriginal business model:the best idea wins. Thethree remain close friendsand live in the same apart-ment complex off campus.They continue to spendupwards of 70 hours perweek working onGlassmap,Woo said.Now, Chang mainly han-dles servers, Zhang workson the iPhone applicationand Woo focuses on the in-tegration with Facebookand the Android applica-tion.

With a simple idea,intense dedication and a lot of coding, the co-founders created an application thatthey believe has the potential to change communica-tion.

When asked how they keep motivated to work ontheir application, Zhang invoked the philosophy of the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs,as articulated inhis 2005 commencement speech:Stay hungry. Stayfoolish.

ROLLOUT!

By CARL ROMANOS

Acrash, a bang and a gigglewoke Lauren Miller 15 at 6:15a.m. The dawn light seepedinto the dorm room throughthe blinds as the cacophony in

the hallway grew. She heard a flurry of hushed chatter before all went silent. Sud-denly, the door roared with pounds andcheers of Stanford students.

Sweatshirt, shoes, keys! voices out-side thundered.

Dazed and confused, Miller creakedthe door open.A troop of neon- and span-dex-adorned people crowded her door-way.

It was so early that I couldnt evencomprehend what they could possibly bethere for, Miller said. They introducedthemselves as the Frosh Council. Millerwas its newest addition.

Before she could comprehend whathad happened, the troop grabbed her anddarted to the next dorm. Soon enough,Miller was standing at the door of the nextvictim, banging and clamoring just as oth-ers had at her door.

After the Frosh Council completedtheir dorm-to-dorm frolic, its final taskwas a sprint to the Quad.

Theres something about bonding inthe middle of that grand courtyard thatyou cant get from inside a classroom,Miller said.It means so much more thana congratulatory email.

After getting to know her new friendsin some icebreaker games, Miller atebreakfast with the rest of the Frosh Coun-cil.She appreciated the setting,the peopleand the early morning bonding.After fin-ishing her breakfast at 8 a.m., Miller madeher trip back to her dorm to get ready foran early-morning exam. The communalcraziness came to an end.

Although every group does it a littledifferently, the basic concept of rollout isthe same: an initiation in which someoneis involuntarily taken from his room andcompelled to hang out with a new group.Through this initiation process, these roll-

outs help build a strong extracurricularfoundation.

As Miller conducted her own rollouts,she came to appreciate this early-morningawakening.

She was now part of a community of people,a group committed enough to planand perpetrate this early-morning adven-ture.As she became familiar with her fel-low council members, she said she could-nt help but feel a strong sense of cama-raderie.

Last years Frosh Council did the roll-outs and they got me excited to be a partof such a committed and enthusiastic

group of people, Miller said.The upper-classmen raved about their experience inthe group, recounting the friends andmemories they made, all while climb-ing up lounge windows and crawlingthrough laundry rooms.

Rollouts also serve to secure alle-giances. Competing groups that at-tract the same talented candidates tryto roll out individuals before other,sim-ilar groups.

Gaieties rollouts happened on a Fri-day while a cappella groups did rolloutsthe day after,on Saturday,said AnnikaGrangaard 12, vocal director at Gai-eties. This definitely has some impacton where people end up.

This tradition has ensued for decades.While back for alumni weekend, Bran-ner alumni from the late 80s discussedhow rollouts have changed.

In their time,rol louts were rare and re-served for special inaugurations,the alum-ni agreed.They were conducted,for exam-ple,when new members pledged to frater-nities and sororities, or when new RAsfound out about their positions. On Valen-tines Day,suited males in the dorm wouldroll out pajama-clad females.They walkedthem to a dining hall, which they had dec-orated beforehand, and enjoyed a roman-tic breakfast.

Apart from the excitement of it all, theorigin of rollout remains a mystery. Ask-ing various longstanding campus figureswill lead to speculation, sympathy and,

sometimes,outright evasion. Maybe theirorigin is a confidential secret known onlyto the founders of each group. Maybe noone truly knows how or why rolloutsbegan.In any case,the rollout is a Stanfordtradition, a cultural oddity and an expedi-ent bonding opportunity that keeps theCardinal spirit alive.

OPINIONS

d.school, an offshoot of the Gradu-ate School of Business that uses de-sign to help make extremely afford-able products for public servicegoals.

The economy may also influencea students choice to go into publicservice.

When the market is really bad,some of the options that they usuallymight jump into like the businessworld arent there, Murray said.In-stead,students look to public serviceopportunities such as AmeriCorpsand Teach for America.

Some people enjoy workingwith people, said CDC directorLance Choy. They enjoy helping.Others find it very rewarding toshape policy.

Olivia Hu 12 said she wants towork in public service after gradua-tion because of the magnitude of herpotential impact.

Its so important,she said.Itsimportant because its billions of people.

Hu hopes to work in educationpolicy, especially for girls in the Mid-dle East.

For Lucia Constantine 10,spend-ing a year in AmeriCorps working ata community garden to help in nutri-tion and food issues helped her ex-plore her interests.Constantine nowworks in the Haas Center as the pub-lic service leadership and postgradu-ate programs coordinator.

It was an opportunity for me to

explore the concepts that I had spentfour years learning about in a real-world setting,Constantine said.

At the same time,a career in pub-lic service can enhance skills.

I gained some work experienceand some intangible skills that youdont develop in school, Constan-tine added.

The experience may also help stu-dents in applying to and during grad-

uate school.It helps you decide what you

want to do with your graduate de-gree, Murray said.I think it bringsa lot more experience and qualifica-tions, especially for business school,[medical] school and law school, be-cause theyre looking for maturecandidates.

However, many students cite fi-nancial concerns as a strong deter-rent against a public service career,or at least a worrisome aspect.

Financial things are weighingheavily on my mind right now,saidJaclyn Le 12.Le has decided to pur-sue public service after graduationdespite these concerns.

The Haas Center provides stu-dents with services including a careerdatabase, summer fellowships andan alumni-networking service.Morethan 30 organizations will come torecruit students at the centers Yearof Service Fair on Oct.27.

Ultimately for Le, financial con-

cerns are trumped by her wish tohelp shape policy.I think its ultimately that if pub-

lic service is something you love todo,theres ways to make it work,Lesaid. This is what Im passionateabout. Thats whats going to makeme happy.

Voting yes on this measure isntguaranteeing that a compost facilitywill be there. Its just guaranteeingthat it wont be parkland.

Meanwhile, proponents of Mea-sure E focus on the potential envi-ronmental benefits of an anaerobicdigestion operation and compost fa-cility on land that they believe willbe more useful as a waste manage-

ment facility.It will never be natural becausethe natural state of the site out therewas wetlands, said Peter Drek-meier, former mayor of Palo Alto.When you process [food andsewage waste] together, you gethigher energy output than if you dothem separately.

Drekmeier clarified that biogas isconsidered a biogenic greenhouse

gas rather than a fossil fuel becauseit is already in the atmosphere and ismerely completing the natural car-bon cycle. He also noted that PaloAlto should expect to see a lot of precinct blocking and mailing to vot-ers in the next few weeks in favor of Measure E.

Theres no technology. Were just going to have the land set aside,said former city councilwomanEmily Renzel. The park has longbeen planned and designed. Thepark was supposed to be a naturalopen space, so the architects de-signed it to have a somewhat natural

earth form.Renzel said she believes that theaddition of a compost facility wouldbe met with practical difficulties inremoving a slice of the landfill forconstruction. She, like Espinosa,be-lieves that in the same manner thatwaste management needs to adjustwith the population, park spaceneeds to be appropriately protectedand increased.

We view the installation of ananaerobic digester to replace an oldincinerator, basically,as more bene-ficial than keeping those 10 acres outof the 150 for parkland, said WillTroppe 14, a member of Studentsfor a Sustainable Stanford.

According to the Palo AltoWeekly, the Committee for MeasureE currently has $18,773 in its cam-paign chest, including $500 and$1,000 contributed by downtown de-velopers Charles Chop Keenanand Sam Webster, respectively.Theopponents of Measure E have re-portedly raised $11,231 as of Oct.7,

including $100 donated by Espinosaand $400 by Renzel.Whats interesting is its green

versus green, Espinosa said. Youhave environmentalists on bothsides.You have compost supporterson both sides.

Whether or not we like thenumbers, time is exact. Itcoordinates global mar-kets, unravels histories and guidessocial schedules. It predicts whatpeople halfway around the globeare doing at any given moment andmight be one of the smallest bindersof the most people at once. Timekeeps us on track with the world,somost of us get on track early on.

There is, however, yet anotherway we read time that is somehowboth bigger and entirely personal.This kind of time is less quantifi-able, more fleeting and highly sub-

jective.We can feel it before we everhear an audible alarm or chime.Ac-tually, it has nothing to do withhours or minutes,but we feel it mov-ing inexorably between us and thepeople around us. Like a form of physical distance, it can tell us pre-cisely where we are. Perhaps morethan change, the most powerfulthing time can do is provide at leasta moment of complete clarification.

A friend of mine emailed me inresponse to one of my columns lastweek, emergency-style: we had totalk now! (If you know me, youknow that I love when this hap-pens.) He was recovering from abad breakup, which had unexpect-edly re-launched his religious faithand led to major re-acquaintingwith previously abandoned rela-tions.To his own surprise, over thespan of the week after my column,he found himself tying up numerousloose ends that for years had beendrifting about via bad memoriesand awkward encounters. Yet justrecently he had spent hours chat-ting with long-past friends and evenan ex-girlfriend with whom he hadonce shared a very rocky record.What was happening? Was it simplythat time heals? Was it that he andthe other parties had changed andcould now get along? No it wasthat, after years of distance frompast events,he saw himself with bet-ter eyes. He could return to peoplehe had hurt and been hurt by be-cause, suddenly, time was lettinghim see his past self with better per-spective.

Our relationships with othersdepend first on how we relate withourselves, but over time that latterpart changes. Usually, its only ex

post facto that we get the privilegeof revisiting our past selves and allassociated behavior. In the heat of the moment, were locked inside amelange of bias and furiouslybuzzing emotions. If were lucky,though, internal chatter subsides,and then we get the opportunity though we dont always take it tosee ourselves from the outside.

With our company, too, timespenchant for clarity comes in ex-tremely handy. It spotlights how wefeel about someone in the contextof how little or how much time haspassed.Recall how ecstatic you feltwhen he/she finally called you (andyou hadnt realized how long youdbeen waiting), how the hours youspent with someone seemed to flyby, how a short time away fromsomeone seemed like forever.Emotions like these only makesense in the context of time.

When youve known someonefor fewer than two years but it feelstimeless,what does that say? Whentwo people can reunite aftermonths of separation and take it ef-fortlessly in stride, what does thatsay? Our reactions to the passing of time could fill pages on how deeplyand/or genuinely we regard some-one.Maybe its more automatic forself-reflective people to registerthose mental notes, and maybethats why Im putting it out here forthe masses.After 21 years of meet-ing, greeting, mingling with andleaving people, it feels unimagin-ably wonderful to consciously rec-ognize which relationships I cantimagine ever fading; for now, atleast, I can thank them for being sowonderful, too. (And I totally do,even though I guess thats kind of weird or something.)

Sometimes only time can tellwhat things tarnish and what staysreal. I believe that truth like that isimmeasurably valuable.

Have an epiphany,or completely dis-agree? Either way, Nina would loveto hear it.Take a moment to tell her,at ninamc@stanford.edu.

T HE Y OUNG A DULT S ECTION

The measure of time

What happens when every-thing you do doesntwork?At school were taught all thosecliches that tell us to keep trying,never give up and hop back on thehorse even if we fall off every timewe get on. However, what theydont prepare us for is when all theabove doesnt hold true.

In moments like these, I thinkabout way,way,way back in the day,when my PlayStation wasnt work-ing, the daily Arthur episode was just a rerun and I couldnt find myGame Boy.I thought my world wasending.Nothing I did was working,so I would go to my mom whiningabout being bored and wantingsomething to do. In response, shewould go on a rant about how backwhen she was young, her parentswould just send her and her siblingsoutside to play, and then lock thedoor so they couldnt get back in.Of course, I knew my mom wouldnever do that to me (she barely letme cross the street on my own untilI was at double digits, petrified thatI would end up getting kidnapped inthe middle of the crosswalk.) How-ever, that wouldnt stop her fromwaxing nostalgic about a time be-fore play dates,before activities hadto be educational and before par-ents had to be more creative thantheir kids to keep them entertained.

Nonetheless, once I looked be-yond the parental craziness, I couldsee that there was actually sane ad-vice in there. In life, you have tolearn how to make your own fun.And life has reminded me time andtime again that it is often very nec-

essary to do so.Work, work, work, work, yeah you know I got that work.

Wales Bait became my unin-tentional anthem this past weekendas I attempted to live up to my ownand other peoples expectations of what a good time really is.Never inmy life have I spent so much timetrying to find something to do on aSaturday night,especially not whenIm attending the supposed capitalof school social life.But I sucked itup, and to avoid all that ridiculous-ness,my party-pal and I spent copi-ous amounts of time doing researchand pre-party planning to ensurethat we found the function.And wedid.

We found the magic words freebefore 11, and we were on it. Thistime we got ready early, checkingyes to everything on our going-out list. Even though we had doneeverything right and had backupcontingency plans, things still wentwrong.Our ride never came no mat-ter how many times we called, nei-ther of us could afford to drop $30 just to enter a sweaty, overpricedclub and we had no desire to walkpast the locals who really liked ouroutfits (I never thought being calledTina Turner could make me cringe).So we were left with the decision towallow in our disappointment or tokeep it moving.

And this is when I had a mini-epiphany as my mothers wordscame back to me about making myown fun making my own way.Everyone knows that sometimesthings just dont go as planned thats stating the obvious but

that doesnt keep you from askingyourself, why? No, not why, butwhen? When do I stop trying to godown this path that (maybe) Im notmeant to go down?

So when youre done lamentingyour life,its a good time to see thatthe same route thats killing youmight be better left for someoneelse. This doesnt mean youre tak-ing the easy way out, it just meansthat youre smart enough to see thatthe road marked dead end gotthat sign for a reason.

As a kid, I didnt completely un-derstand the beauty of what mymom was trying to tell me because Ithought it applied only to my abilityto find something to do during play-time.But it goes further than that what she was really telling me wasthat Im the only person stoppingmyself from having a good time.Imthe only person who keeps lookingin the couch cushions for the GameBoy that definitely got broken atschool the week before.Im the onlyone capable of making whatever ex-perience Im having a good one.

That Saturday night, I made thedecision to actually listen to mymoms advice.We shook off the let-down and moved on to our Plan F,which meant being open to the pos-sibilities of finding fun in the mostunexpected places.

Camira would like to hear your ideaof a fun night,so why not email her at camirap@stanford.edu?

Make your own fun

Emotions like

these only make

sense in the

context of time.

In the 11th minute, junior defenderBecky Dru came up with the first goal of the game and her 13th of the season off arather powerful shot following a penaltycorner.

The next 22 minutes of play were char-acterized by excellent handling by theCardinal, as the team drew seven foulsand attempted three shots on goal.

With a come-from-behind victory,a vir-tuoso defensive performance,a ton of goalsand then some more goals, the Stanfordmens water polo team provided just abouteverything you could ask for this weekend,going a perfect 5-0 as it knocked off confer-ence rival Pacific on Friday and sweptthrough the Santa Clara Invitational onSaturday and Sunday.

Stanford (14-3, 3-1 MPSF) scored 76goals over the three days,with every activenon-goalie player getting on the score sheetat least once. Freshman utility Alex Bowenled the way with 14 goals (including four hattricks), followed by senior driver JacobSmith with 11, redshirt sophomore two-meter Forrest Watkins with 10 and seniorutility Peter Sefton with 10 as well.MENS WATER POLO

On Friday night Stanford beat No.7 Pa-cific 8-6, overcoming yet another halftimedeficit.The other four games were consider-ably less competitive, as Stanford won eachgame by double digits and never trailed inany of the games.On Saturday the Cardinaldefeated No.17 Bucknell 15-1 and then Har-vard 19-3. On Sunday the team won 18-5over Brown and 16-3 over No.18 Air Force.

The weekend started off on a high note,asearly goals by Smith and Watkins gave Stan-ford a 2-0 lead against Pacific.Things wentsour quickly for the Cardinal,though, as theTigers finished off the half on a 5-1 run to gointo halftime leading 5-3. An early secondquarter goal by Smith was the only one thatStanford would score during that run.

Stanford has been making a habit of dig-ging itself a hole in the first half.This is thethird straight conference game in which the

team has been trailing by two goals at half-time.But this is also the third straight gamein which a strong third quarter has gottenthe Cardinal right back into the game.

With fond memories of last weekendsouting against Oregon State in mind, theStanford mens soccer team traveled tothe Pacific Northwest in hopes of improv-ing on its meager 1-3-1 Pac-12 record andeyeing a chance to move up in the confer-ence standings with a good showing in re-matches against Washington and OregonState.But the Huskies showed no signs of cooling down as they continued their re-cent hot streak with a 2-0 win over theCardinal on Friday night.

10/23, Corvallis, Ore.

Sundays game at Oregon State (5-8-2,3-3-1 Pac-12) saw the Cardinal sympto-matically struggling to capitalize on itsscoring chances on the road the teamhas scored just one goal through the firstseven away games of the season.

The match itself was a tight affair neither side could break through and theshot totals were fairly even at 13-10 infavor of the home side. Stanford put thehosts goalie Steve Spangler to the test onseven occasions without bagging a goal,but the Beavers also looked dangerouson the counterattack.

The decisive moment came less thantwo minutes into overtime,when OregonState sophomore Josh von Allworden tal-lied what Stanford head coach BretSimon described as a fluky goal.

But as much as the Cardinal was near-ly helpless to stop the golden goal fromvon Allworden which came after along free kick was tipped away by goalieJason Dodson and fell straight to von All-wordens feet in front of goal Stanfordhad its chances to slow the Huskies twodays earlier in Seattle.

The reunion with the Huskies (10-3-2,5-2-0), who shut out the Cardinal lastweekend at Cagan Stadium, didnt startout well.

Stanford came into the game with adesire to rid itself of the 500-pound goril-la that had been riding the teams backfor the last couple of weeks the Cardi-nal hadnt scored on the road since a 3-2defeat at the hands of California last No-vember, a stretch of six straight roadmatches where Stanford was outscored9-0.

And while the opening minutes saw

Washington holding much of the posses-sion, the Huskies were also unable tothreaten the Stanford back four.But after11 minutes,a momentary lapse in concen-tration in the Cardinal defense allowedWashingtons Jamie Finch to swing in anexcellent cross that found an unmarkedJake Hustedt in the box. Hustedt showedgood composure to control the ball be-fore poking it past Dodson for an earlylead.

Simon had laid specific plans to con-tain Finch and Hustedt, but had to con-cede that they got the better of his ownplayers on the first goal.

Finch is one of the most dangerouscrossers in the conference. He played anamazing ball, Simon said. And we allknow about Hustedts qualities from histime at Cal Poly.

But the Cardinal responded promptly.In the 20th minute, a Stanford free kick

RUDE

WELCOME

In the space of a week, the world of autoracing has lost two stars: on Oct. 16 Indy-Car driver Dan Wheldon lost his life in a15-car accident at the Las Vegas MotorSpeedway, and seven days later MotoGP

rider Marco Simoncelli was killed in a crash atthe Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.Icant really go into much more detail than that,

simply because I havent read the stories orwatched replays of the incidents.Not because Ihavent had the time,but because Im not surethat I want to.

Many of you probably werent born or mayhave been too young to remember when AyrtonSenna died,but I unfortunately remember quiteclearly watching the 1994 San Marino Formula1 Grand Prix live on TV.It is a weird feeling evento think back to that weekend and the imagesflickering across the screen when two F1 drivers

Senna and Roland Ratzenberger losttheir lives.Literally watching the end of some-ones life isnt something a kid should have todeal with. Even 17 years later, I dont think Idwant to watch replays of that incident.

Many of the sports we watch can be incred-ibly violent. Crunching tackles are a core partof both football and rugby, fighting is a

bizarrely accepted part of ice hockey and pret-ty much any auto-racing discipline is character-ized by the occasional big accident. Even rela-tively gentle sports like soccer arent immune however much people may criticize playersfor feigning injury,they are not always faking.

Competitors in any sport are always ap-plauded for their commitment,even if that cansometimes lead to serious injury for eitherthem or their opposition. Perhaps, though,there is a difference here between auto sports

and the rest of them. In the same way manypeople watch the Super Bowl for the advertise-ments, many are drawn to auto racing by thebig crashes. In fact, it doesnt really matter somuch if those incidents are during the actualrace or in practice; they will still make the high-light reel. Maybe it is that practices in othersports dont get recorded or that the videos

arent made public, but Im not sure peoplewould care about them in the same way.And if one of those incidents involved someone get-ting seriously injured or even dying, I thinkmost would find it very uncomfortable towatch it.

On a personal level,I find it hard to watchany serious sporting incidents. Not because Ihave known anyone who has died in extreme

game.In the 34th minute a Cardinal

penalty corner led to anothergoal, this time by sophomore at-tacker Courtney Haldeman, as-sisted by fellow sophomore at-tacker Hope Burke.

The first half, which was a trueshow of the Cardinals dominanceboth offensively and defensively,ended with just a 2-0 Stanfordlead.

Following the solid rhythm es-tablished in the first half, Stanfordtook less than seven minutes tonotch another tally, as freshmanattacker Alex McCawley came upwith the third goal of the nightfrom a shot that surprised Aggieskeeper Conley Craven.

In the 57th minute McCawleywas able to assist fellow freshmanmidfielder Kasey Quon with herfirst goal of the season and thefourth Cardinal goal of the nighton a nice low-post shot that snuckpast Craven.

Shortly after, an interestingscene occurred when it appearedthat Davis had scored a goal, butthe shot was called back as it hadnot been from inside the circle.The frustration of both the Aggiefans and coaches was visible afterthe goal was disallowed.

The final goal of the night camefrom the Cardinals Lloyd, assist-ed by freshman midfielder Shan-non Herold,in the 68th minute off a great penalty corner. After theinbound by Burke, a fantastic mis-direction by the Cardinal left thecrowd and the Aggies stunned.

By the end of the game the Car-dinal had racked up not only fivegoals but an impressive 21 shotson goal, four of which came fromDru, compared to the Aggies twoshots. Stanford also led in penaltycorners 5-3 and had the only de-fensive save of the night.

Up next for the Cardinal is aweekend trip to the state of Michi-gan,where it will face No.8 Michi-gan (12-4, 4-1 Big Ten) on Fridayat 12 p.m. PST and Michigan State(7-10, 1-4) on Sunday at 4 p.m.PST.

The following week the Cardi-nal will compete in the NorPacTournament, hosted at StanfordsVarsity Turf.

FIELD HOCKEY | Perfect NorPac season completecircumstances, but because I knowwhat it feels like to deal with injury.I wont bore you with the details,but having had far too many opera-tions and spent far too much of mylife on crutches, I wince at seeing

anyone even so much as pull a mus-cle on TV.Not that Im a saint, though. I

cant preach too much because,after all, Im human. Everyonelooks occasionally,whether becauseyou want to know what everyoneelse is looking at, because you suc-cumb to morbid fascination or be-cause you simply want a better un-derstanding of what is going on.Watching the serious news with allthe grisly violence censored outwould give us a dangerously mis-leading view of the facts, but thetrick is in finding a balance betweengory and story.

Im not sure, though, that we dothis very well. In Sundays RugbyWorld Cup Final, New Zealand fly-half Aaron Cruden hyper-extendedhis knee in a tackle and needed to behelped from the field as he clearlycould not even put weight on the in-

jury. Most viewers probably didntquite realize exactly what had hap-pened live,so a first slow-motion re-play was probably justified. But thesecond? The third? At some pointamong the replays from various an-gles we stopped learning anythingnew and began simply relishing theawfulness of the injury.

The sensational always grabs theheadlines, and even more so in theTwitter-inspired, rapid-fire rhythmof modern life,where you dont get15 minutes of fame you get 15seconds. Only the most shockingcan break through.

Is there an answer to this? Imnot sure. Perhaps, though, TVbroadcasters could resist the temp-tation to overplay the replays andthe slow-motion shots quite somuch and get back to the live actionand the interesting bits. Once weknow something was bad, and evenhow bad it was,why dwell on it? Idrather learn about the whole of Wheldon and Simoncellis careersand lives than how they ended.

Tom Taylor just wishes there were slo-mo cameras around to capturehis many gruesome injuries. Get himto relive those painful memories at tom.taylor@stanford.edu.

great,Taylor said.Im really fortu-nate to have great teammates whowere able to get me the ball, so I wasopen around a lot of shots.

Taylor got things off to a veryquick start against Utah (8-7-1, 4-3Pac-12), a squad performing in thetop half of the conference after amediocre 2010 season,with a fourth-minute goal that came off feeds fromsenior midfielder Teresa Noyola andfreshman forward Chioma Ubogagu a duo that leads Stanford in assistswith 10 and nine,respectively.Just 12minutes later,Ubogagu added a tallyof her own when junior midfielderMariah Nogueira found her behindthe defense for a left-footer to the farpost.

Meanwhile, sophomore goal-keeper Emily Oliver was sharp as al-ways in net, making two saves andfacing only three shots from the Utesin the first half. Four minutes afterTaylors second goal of the match,a62nd-minute header off a feed fromUbogagu,Oliver was pulled in favorof junior Lindsay Dickerson, whomade just her fourth appearance of the year. Only 11 seconds later, theCardinal put things away for its back-up with a close-range finish by juniormidfielder Nina Watkins,her first of the season as a non-starter and justthe second of her career.

Substitutes would again play a bigrole for Stanford on Sunday againstColorado; with temperatures reach-ing the low 80s,head coach Paul Rat-cliffe didnt force any of his players tostay in for the whole 90 minutes by contrast, the Buffaloes left fourstarters in all game.

What weve realized through-out this season is that we have depthin this team,Taylor said.Even subsare able to come onto the field andmake a difference,and theyve donethat in every game, whether theyrecoming in at forward,midfield or de-fense.

The Cardinals starters had theirtime to shine as well. When Col-orado goalie Kayla Millar seemed tomishit a long pass, junior midfielderMarjani Hing-Glover grabbed theball near midfield, deked around adefender and curled one in to the farpost 10 minutes into the game. Justthree minutes later, an Ubogagufeed found Taylor who had beenbarely stopped twice already, onceby the crossbar and once by Millaron a point-blank attempt aloneon goal, and this time,Taylor buriedthe shot for her third goal of theweekend.

Stanford wouldnt get on theboard again in the first frame despitedominating the shot count 16-2. Butonly 49 seconds after subbing inmidway through the second half,redshirt sophomore defender AnnieCase launched a perfect crossthrough the box to find a waitingTaylor at the back post for the se-niors 14th of the season.

With the game out of reach,Rat-

cliffe was able to bring in Dickersonyet again between the goal posts.Overcoming a slight misstep that ledto a 74th-minute penalty shot goal bythe Buffs both of the last twoscores allowed by the Cardinal havecome on penalties against a backupgoalkeeper Stanford kept work-ing hard, netting its fourth goal on ascrum in the box when sophomoreforward Sydney Payne sent home arebound off the crossbar.

But the Cardinal will not havelong to dwell on the rude awakeningit sent to the new Pac-12 schools thisweekend with the showdown againstNo. 23 Oregon State looming. Playwill begin at 7 p.m.Friday in Corval-lis, Ore., in the most significant testfor Stanford in its final three regular-season games.

junior driver Travis Noll and juniordriver Paul Rudolph.Redshirt sen-

weekend trip to nearby SantaClara for the Rodeo Tournament,which featured four games againstteams from the East Coast. Stan-ford had a field day, or rather twofield days,in the course of the fourgames.

The weekend was highlightedby a 19-3 win over Harvard inwhich four players (Sefton,Bowen,Noll and Rudolph) had hat tricksand eleven Stanford players scoredat least one goal.

Pingree had 21 saves over thetwo days, and redshirt sophomoregoalie Hunter Ploch, who saw sig-nificant action over the weekend,had a solid performance with 11.

The Huskies mounted an offen-sive charge after Stanfords goal,but the pressure didnt amount toanything until five minutes beforehalftime, when Stanford was pun-ished by a ruthless counterattack.Great combination play by substi-tute Abdul Aman and BrentRichards set up Aman, who madeno mistakes on a quality finish thatgave Washington the lead.

After the break, the Cardinalcame out of the starting blockseager to prove its worth. Stanfordquickly took control of the gameand looked likely to score through-out the second half, outshooting its

opponents 5-2. The goal nevercame though,and the Cardinal washanded its second loss in as manyweeks by the Huskies, who havenow won their last five matches.Despite this, Simon seemed happywith his teams display.

I thought we got stronger asthe game progressed, he said.Wewere creating good scoring oppor-tunities,but their goalkeeper madea couple of key saves.

We knew that it was highly un-likely to make the playoffs, so thegoal for this weekend and the up-coming games was to keep improv-ing and playing better soccer. Ithink we did that,he said.

Stanford now has a bye weekbefore hosting Southern Californiaschools San Diego State andUCLA this weekend.The Cardinalwill look to exact some revengeand possibly play the spoiler, asboth visiting teams have seriouspostseason aspirations.
