Utah Congressman Rob Bishop spoke about federal-ism Thursday at a “Pizza and Politics” event hosted by the College Republicans. Of his visits to Logan, Bishop said, “It has always been a pleas-ant experience coming up here, it has been very positive, so it is kind of cool to be back.” Sophomore Mikey Rodgerson, who is majoring in psychol-ogy and is the president of the College Republicans said, “Students are really lucky; poli-ticians want to talk to students. We are a sought after portion of society.” Bishop said federalism is an idea that many people misunderstand. “Very few people can define federalism,” he said. “Even fewer people can define civil liberties.” These ideas are what he said he views as the solution to the nation’s current struggles. U.S. citizens need to come up with how to balance power and pro-tect liberties, and “federalism is the salvation of this country,” he said. Bishop defined federalism as, “the division of responsibilities so there is greater choice and options for individuals to live life without the federal govern-ment interfering,” There is currently an imbalance of power between state and federal gov-

Students have a chance to name and design the new cafe logo for the new Chase Fine Arts Center cafe. The chosen design wins an iPad 2, said Arts Senator Mary Jacobson. “We wanted students to have a big part in the cafe,” Jacobson said. The contest deadline is Oct. 15 and is open to all students. Jacobson said the name and logo should go together, and designs need to be high enough resolution to fit a 6-foot by 4-foot space or be shrunk to the size of a business card. Jacobson encourages students to be creative. After all, it is in an arts building, she said. The new cafe will be a place students can say they con-tribute to, from the student art exhibit to the chalkboard

wall, said Lindsey Wiltshire, customer service manager for The Junction. Wiltshire said she will oversee customer service at the cafe, as well. “This is going to be a place they can call their own,” she said, regarding students. One of the walls is painted with chalkboard paint, so people can draw designs or write messages. Additionally, interior design students are designing the look of the cafe and will turn in ideas over the next two weeks. Jacobson said she wants to include all departments from the Caine College of the Arts. She said she plans to host an open-mic night for theater and music students and hang students’ art on the cafe walls, as well. Construction has been piecemeal, Wiltshire said. The cafe has been empty and dark over the last few weeks. Now, with an almost definite date set, construction is speeding up for a grand opening in November, she added.

The current evacuation plan for wheelchair-bound people stuck in building fires in which the elevators are

out of order is: Wheel to a specially built alcove, find an emergency telephone, make a phone call and wait patiently as the building burns down for someone to come to the rescue, said an assistant professor

Keith Christensen of landscape architecture and environmental planning. Unfortunately, Christensen said, most of these specially built alcoves are missing tele-phones, and some have even

been utilized as convenient storage space for wastebaskets. “The fact is, right now we don’t design safe buildings. There aren’t current evacuation plans for persons with disabili-ties,” Christensen said. “But that is going to change.” Christensen and a team of professors from multiple USU colleges were recently awarded a grant of almost $600,000 from National Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research, and, he said, he hopes to create a computer program that will simulate the evacua-tion of persons with disabilities. “What we’re doing will change the way that people evaluate a building. For the first time, the building emer-gency evaluation will include accurate data for people with disabilities,” he said. This is no small thing, Christensen said, since accurate data does not exist on this issue. The USU research will be the first of its kind, he added. Yangquan Chen, director of the Center for Self-Organizing and Intelligent Systems, will be in charge of all the and video and feeds. Yong Seog Kim, a student majoring in manage-ment information systems, will compile and analyze the data.

Speaker praises Lincoln’s leadership style

Abraham Lincoln’s leadership style exemplifies what is needed for corporate executives today, a Fortune 200 company vice president said. Jerry Bussell, vice president of operations at Medtronic, was the keynote speaker for a Business Operational Excellence sem-inar, sponsored by the busi-ness college. As president of Bussell Lean Services, he

said he advocates a people-first leadership style. “Lincoln has all the qualities of any great leader I know,” Bussell said. “He was humble, yet he had great resolve.” Bussell said he has done extensive research into Lincoln’s life, career and presidency. He is currently working on a book about his findings, he added. Bussell said only 36 per-cent of corporate employees trust their leaders, which, he said, makes it hard to

accomplish anything as a leader. He said he wanted to urge the audience to gain a reputation of honesty and integrity in life. He said the best way to gain trust is to show others interest and compassion. “Lincoln loved the people,” Bussell said. “He would always talk to them in common language and show that he really cared.” Bussell also said Lincoln would use stories to com-municate his messages. “He was able to get his

points across to people in a logical way by illustrating it to them,” Bussell said. He said while Lincoln did not have any military training, he was known to stay up late at night and read books from the Library of Congress about military strategy. Bussell encouraged everyone to gain Lincoln’s level of persistence. He said Lincoln once wrote a letter to his cabinet telling them that he might not get re-elected, but they should

keep going with the policies they implemented. Bussell praised this mindset and said many of Lincoln’s accomplishments wouldn’t have been possible without this determination. “You have to make it your purpose to not give up,” Bussell said. However, he said Lincoln’s commitment to what he was doing would be in vain if the processes through which he was work-ing would have been faulty.

ernment, he added, and federalism should restore the balance. As a nation, Bishop said, Americans should let either states or the federal government take care of an issue, rather than both. Bishop said state and local gov-ernments are more efficient than the federal government, because a smaller size means more ability to assess needs. State and local gov-ernments, he said, “realize unique circumstances to their area that may or may not fit the norm, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Federal government should allow states and local governments to try and experiment with new programs.” An obstacle to this, he said, is fear by state Legislature of losing federal money if it doesn’t allow the federal government to have its way. Federalism is not a partisan issue, Bishop said. He said to students that “the increase in government spending happened with Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals.” Bishop said there is hope for fed-eralism, as long as there are people who care about the Constitution. During a Q-and-A session, Bishop discussed a bill he is work-ing on to help fund education and allow states to develop portions of federal land, then use the income for an education trust fund. “Public lands should be serving a public purpose,” he said. “It’s time for a paradigm shift in how we view public lands.” “I feel like it is really important to be informed,” said Chelsee Niebergall, a senior majoring in journalism. “We have this oppor-tunity to have a congressman come and speak to us — there should have been a line out this door. I don’t care if you are on the far left or on the far right, if a congress-man is willing to come speak to us, I think you should go, to be informed and to learn what the people in our government believe in.” Anna Harris, a senior major-ing in international studies who served brief ly as the president of the College Democrats said, “He had some interesting points about

federalism. It isn’t necessarily a partisan issue.” Sophomore Aaron Holladay, who is also majoring in international studies said, “I think that there are some things that the federal government should be in charge of, but there are also things that need to be controlled on the state level, but we need to have a better,

stronger state government in order to address some of these issues.” Of the students attending who were not members of the College Republicans, Rodgerson said, “It seemed that federalism was a new idea for a lot of people, people started to see that as a viable option to help save our society.” Rodgerson said the main goal of

the College Republicans is to bring conservative voices to campus. “Academia tends to be more lib-eral leaning, so we do what we can to try to teach conservative ideals,” he said.

A recently opened art exhibit features pieces painted and sketched by USU students who studied abroad in Germany. The works include renderings of European villages, sketches of people engaged in everyday activities and abstract paintings. The pieces are the work of dozens of students, who spent five weeks in Germany as part of an study abroad program that started in 2005. The program is facilitated by Christopher Terry, associate dean of Cain College of the Arts. Each summer he takes 15-18 students to stay in Essen, Germany, and travel around the country. Terry, who spent three years living in Essen, as a guest faculty member, said he’s able to provide the history of the area to students and explain the inf luence of historical events on art. The Study Abroad Art Program: Germany is one of three similar programs offered through the arts college. The other programs are held in Swizterland and Austria. The Swiss program has evolved to include a part-nership with the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business. Logan Brown, an undeclared freshman, had only a few minutes to look at the pieces, but said he enjoyed the exhibit so much that he ended up staying longer than planned. Since 2001, the five-week program has been

Anthony Chen, professor of civil and environmental engineering, will be in charge of design. “These researchers are to be commended for their leadership, vision and commitment to persons with disabilities,” said Sean E. Michael, department head of landscape archi-tecture and environmental planning. “We have all the right pieces, we have a great team of interdisciplinary professors, we have all the expertise. That is why we were selected to receive the grant,” Christensen said. Christensen said the project will take approxi-mately three years and will consist of monitoring traffic patterns of people with disabilities. Trackers will be placed on disabled persons or on their cell phones that will upload data to computers during emergency drills, to see exact response methods and times for mock evacuations. Christensen said the team will also be hiring at least three graduate student interns to help with the project. One of the keys of the new research will be inventing new data-collection technology, Christensen said. The researchers will have to create new tools that can analyze enormous data sets and video. When the project is complete, it will secure USU’s position as a leading research institution for disabilities studies, Michael said. “This work will advance USU’s leadership, nation-ally, in the area of equitable design for persons with disabilities. The study will expand understanding of how evacuation and mobility challenges are navigated by this important population and will help assure that emergency scenarios have planned for all persons’ needs,” he said. The implication of the research is huge, Christensen said. “Sixteen point seven percent of the population possess a dis-ability condition, whether it be cognitive, visual or physical. We need to make sure they are safe.”

It’s taken two years to get the cafe off the ground, she said. Because dining services does not own the building, it has taken other steps for funding and working with architects, in order to finalize plans. She said plans were around the renovation schedule for the offices directly behind the cafe. The cafe is on the east side of the building, down the hallway and around the corner from the box office. Wiltshire said it was the natural place to build a cafe since it already functioned as a sort of break room, though it was mostly vacant. “There was a torn-up pingpong table and some vending machines,” she said, “it wasn’t well utilized by anybody.” Wiltshire said the cafe is bound to attract business

with so many people going through the Chase Fine Arts Center. Jacobson said she was happy about the opening, because arts students need a place in their building to grab food during the day. “Arts students’ schedules are really demanding,” she said. Early classes, rigorous rehearsal schedules and practices keep some people in the Fine Arts Building all day, with barely any time to run to the Quadside Cafe in the library, Jacobson said. “You get to know the janitors really well because you are there all day,” she said. Kelsey Hess, a choral education sophomore, said she will definitely take advantage of the cafe, because she

spends most of her days in the building. “There are times when I’m here for 10- or 11-hour days,” Hess said. Music majors are not the only ones spending all day in the building, Hess said. It will benefit the entire col-lege, she said. “There’s always something to practice,” Hess said. “There’s always something you need to be doing. Which is good.” Menu items will range from cafe beverages, to grab-and-go items like pre-made sandwiches and parfaits, to specialty sandwiches, pasta, pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs made to order, Wiltshire said.

The Utah Department of Transportation reminds USU football fans heading to the game against BYU Friday to plan ahead for severe delays through I-15 construction from Lehi to Provo. Delays on southbound I-15 will be most severe during the hours of 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. as game-day traffic is expected to peak during the afternoon commute. Because of these conditions, travel in the area may require double the usual amount of time. UDOT recom-mends leaving Cache Valley before 2 p.m. to avoid missing the first quarter. USU fans traveling I-15 are advised to use Orem Center Street, exit 271, due to heavy congestion on University Parkway. UDOT will be working with Orem and Provo cities to monitor traffic cameras and coordinate signals to help keep vehicles moving. Priority will be given to routes funneling fans out of the city. UDOT will also send regular updates via Twitter, pre- and post-game text messages and local media to keep drivers informed of the best routes for getting around traffic heading to and from the stadium. UDOT encourages drivers to stay informed about the latest I-15 CORE construction by signing up for regular email updates, becoming a fan of I-15 CORE on Facebook or Twitter, or sub-scribing to the I-15 CORE text service. The 24-mile I-15 CORE freeway reconstruction project is on schedule for completion in December 2012.When complete, the project will add two travel lanes in each direction, rebuild or replace 63 bridges and 10 freeway interchanges, and completely replace the existing asphalt roadway with 40-year concrete pavement.

Corporate VP speaks of Lincon’s determination and successHe said in both the presidency and in the business world, leaders need to make sure the systems they are using to reach a desired goal are the correct ones and will be the most effective. “We take good people, put them in bad processes, and make them bad people,” Bussell said. Again, referring to Lincoln’s obsession with being hands on and personal, Bussell said Lincoln was famous for wanting to witness all prob-lems firsthand. “His secret was he didn’t want anyone to tell him about the problem, he wanted to see it,” Bussell said. He then explained Lincoln’s ability to look at situ-ations with clear objectivity, particularly citing his practice as a lawyer, who would argue both sides of the case against himself. He would make his own case, then rebut it, and continue the debate all by himself in preparation for the actual court. Bussell said at some point, performance is crucial. “This is all cool stuff,” he said, “but you’ve got to get the results.” He told a story about himself as he was growing up, when he would often go to his dad with complaints about obstacles hindering attain-ment of goals. He said his dad would say, “Tell your problems to Jesus, because he’s the only one who cares. Now go get the results,” Bussell said. He compared business to a tennis match, in which one player’s head is turned toward the scoreboard the whole time and gets frustrated that he isn’t producing results. In business, he said, leaders need to focus on the process in order to produce. His final point was: Leaders need to have the abil-ity to be innovators and see future possibilities. Lincoln, he added, was the only president

to ever hold a patent, and he never turned down an inven-tor who wanted to talk to him. Even Thomas Edison looked up to Lincoln as a role model, Bussell said. Bussell, many times, com-pared Lincoln to executives at Toyota, saying they both follow the Bussell’s leadership model. He said Toyota is always forward thinking and actually has goals laid out for where it wants to be by 2100. Still, he said, the executives are very focused on being a part of

the work and standing beside the workers to see problems and how to solve them. He said Toyota’s problems are solved one at a time in order to get the right results. Bussell said that a key to a business school’s education is teaching how to be a leader. He said right now, too much of school is case studies and not actual doing. “You don’t give people the answers to questions,” he said. “You give them the tough questions.”

Maintaining integrity is another important leadership quality a school should focus on, he added. “If you do the right thing, you may fail, but at least you failed doing things the right way,” he said. “As a land-grant institution, the mission of Utah State University is to serve as an engine of economic growth for our community, the state, the nation and the world,” said Huntsman Dean Doug Anderson. “Jerry’s provided

extraordinary service to the university as a member and chairman of our Shingo Prize, offered each year to companies that operate with excellence. We are proud and grateful for his leadership, and for the work he has done to improve productivity, quality and safety in many companies around the world.”


MEDTRONIC VP JERRY BUSSELL talks with an audience member after his speech about people-first leadership. Bussell used former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln as an example of a leader who focused on people. He said Lincoln liked to see problems him-self, rather than hearing about them from others.

hosted in the village of Leysin, Switzerland, which is located in the Alps, 6,000-feet above Lake Geneva. “The students produced nice pieces, espe-cially considering the limited time they had in Germany,” he said. “Not that all of the pieces were good, some of them had serious problems with proportion, I thought, but I particularly liked the watercolors and sketches by Ceci Wang. They were cool snapshots of Germany.” Terry said documentation of experience,

rather than impressive and ostentatious art, is the purpose of the exhibit. The pieces them-selves were created in only a few hours, and the presentation is rather informal, but they tell the story of the study abroad experience well, he added. “My own participation in study abroad as an undergraduate student changed my life,” said Laura Gelfand, USU art department head. “Study abroad programs are truly some of the most valuable educational experiences a student

can have. The three programs ran by the USU art department are so impressive, because the opportunities they provide for students are exceptional.” “I notice that students really make a very big leap intellectually and in terms of their matu-rity and the way they approach their classes,” Terry said.

USU released its fully function-ing degree finder web tool today. The new tool allows users to explore USU’s degrees and programs, including emphases and specializa-tions. After the launch, the tool is accessible from the university homepage. “I began seeing similar tools about three years ago,” said univer-sity Webmaster Ben Renard-Wiart. “The University of Florida allowed students to browse degree offerings under a variety of interest areas, and later we saw tha t the University of Idaho had a more comprehensive tool that allowed students to search offerings by typing in keywords. Users could then click on the results and learn about programs on similarly formatted pages. It was obvious USU needed something like this.” Planning for the project began in 2010 with meetings involving representatives from several USU administrators. “We wanted to have a variety of perspectives and input before we finalized our template for how the information would be displayed on the site,” said Annalisa Purser, marketing coordinator in the Public Relations and Marketing Office. The new tool is different from the way USU used to display its degree offerings. Two years ago, USU had a list of majors organized by colleges and departments. Each major linked to a different place — sometimes a department page, sometimes a PDF and sometimes it didn’t link anywhere. The degree finder provides a variety of ways for users to search USU’s for-credit offerings.

Gryffindor 2, Series Seven 1

Teamwork and a second half goal boosted Gryffindor over Series Seven, 2-1, in a semi-final co-rec intramural matchup, Wednesday. “We played really well as a team,” Gryffindor Captain Kevin Mitchell said. The red and gold got off to a quick start, scoring early in the first, when Mitchell broke through and scored for a 1-nil lead, which they carried into half-time. “We don’t have one good player,” Mitchell said. “Everyone is good. That’s the thing that separated us, we don’t have one weak link.” It didn’t take long for Gryffindor to score again. This time the goal came off the foot of Trevor Eschler, from the left side.

Eschler’s goal along with solid play by the defensive line secured the win, despite a strong effort from Series Seven. Seven’s Tyson Johnson rallied, but his single goal wasn’t enough for the win. Series Seven’s Captain Jason Johnson said his team played well, except for a few foul ups on defense. “It was a hard-fought game, and we had fun,” Johnson said. “That’s what it’s all about.” Gryffindor, 5-0, next takes on 7-2 The Good Team Monday, Oct. 3, in the final. “It’s exciting,” Mitchell said. “There are a lot of really good teams, and there’s a lot of competition.”

More than pride is on the line for the Aggies as they take the field at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Last year Utah State won the Old Wagon Wheel, the traveling trophy awarded to the winner of the USU vs. Brigham Young University, for the first time in 17 years. This year, BYU has a chance to take it back. USU head coach Gary Andersen said his team is excited to play.

“We won the last one, and we look forward to the oppor-tunity to play against them,” Andersen said, who is in his third year as USU head coach. “I think that it will have a lit-tle more to it because of that.” BYU has won the last 15 games held in Provo, a home-town to several Utah State players, including left guard Funaki Asisi. “I have been looking for-ward to it for a while,” the 6-foot-2 Provo High School graduate said. “My home-town — I know a lot of people down there in that area.

Basically, when you come out of it, it is a lot of bragging rights. I’m definitely looking forward to this one. Going down there as a starter, I defi-nitely want to bring my “A” game.” The 2-2 Cougars are com-ing off of a 27-14 win over the University of Central Florida. Aggie junior safety McKade Brady, who ran track at BYU before transferring to USU as a football player, said the Cougars have some great weapons on their team.

Thursday night was a busy one for senior All-American Liz McArthur, as she led the Utah State women’s volleyball team past Louisiana Tech in four sets, 3-1. The Preseason All-WAC team member had a team-high 20 kills, as the Aggies improved to 2-1 in Western Athletic Conference play. “She had a really nice match,” USU head coach Grayson DuBose said, of Mcarthur’s play. “She hit a bunch of different shots, not just the same shot all the time. Hitting down the line, hitting high seam, doing that kind of stuff. There was a lot of variety in her game.” What was an even match

between the two teams, was blown open midway through the first set as the Aggies used a 7-2 run to open up a lead on the Bulldogs. From there, Utah State steadily increased its lead and fresh-man outside hitter Rachel Orr put the finishing touch on the first set, 25-19. Orr had a career-high 14 kills on the night. “It was a really nice night by her,” DuBose said, of Orr. “She’s done a really nice job.” Orr has filled in, for the past two matches, for junior outside hitter Josselyn White, who is out with ankle injury. “We miss Josselyn’s expe-rience, but Rachel is getting experience, which is cool,” DuBose said. Orr played well on both sides of the ball, starting the

second set with a block on defense and finished with two blocks for the match. The Aggie offense then picked up where it left off, mounting a comfortable lead and cruising to the win in the second set, by a score of 25-14. Redshirt freshman setter Paige Neves recorded 11 of her 48 kills, during the second set, as the Bulldogs struggled to contain the Aggies. “(Paige) does a nice job. She’s learning. I forget that she’s only a freshman,” Dubose said. “She’s improved quite a bit, and her work ethic is good.” Neves was only assists two shy of her career high of 50. “I expect different things out of her,” DuBose said.

I love Robert Turbin. After the junior run-ning back and future NFL prospect failed to make it into the end zone against Colorado State Saturday, in what could have been a program-defining victo-ry, the leader of the Aggie football team — and quite frankly the leader Aggie Nation — went public and tweeted an apology to fans, personally, for not winning the game. “Sorry to all #aggiefans for losing the game,” he tweeted. “My game, one play, and I lost it. I promise to improve, and I won’t let it happen again.” Turbin rushed for 155 yards and four touchdowns against the Rams and in ret-rospect going for the two-point conversion was prob-ably the wrong decision. That’s beside the point, however. The sight and sound of nearly 23,000 Aggie fans on their feet and screaming and pulling for an Aggie victory Saturday night gave me chills down my spine. Before the Aggies dropped the game, I was certain head coach Gary Andersen had finally accomplished what he had set out to do in changing the mindset of not only the football team, but Aggie fans as well. After they failed to con-vert the two-point conver-

sion, I wondered if I would ever see Romney Stadium as full as I had seen it that night. I cautiously ventured out into the social media world to see what the response Aggie fans would give about the loss and I stumbled onto Turbin’s apology. As I stumbled onto his apology I began to find responses from other media members and that made me wondered if fans responded to him person-ally. I was pleasantly sur-prised to find many mes-sages of encouragement for Turbin to not give up because fans had his back and didn’t plan on giving up hope yet. One tweet even said that Turbin made nearly 23,000 people believe in Aggie football again. It was at that point that I realized that Turbin is not only the leader of the Aggie football team, he is the leader of Aggie Nation. He showed his desire to win and his willingness to do whatever it took to win. He also showed is willing-

ness to be accountable to everybody, including fans. This great athlete and great human being has won over the support of many fence sitters, and I think it would be a shame to let him or any member of the Aggie football team down due to lack of support. With that being said, I think there needs to be an Aggie invasion at Lavell Edwards Stadium. Let me rephrase that, I know there needs to be an Aggie inva-sion at Lavell Edwards Stadium. If you can’t make it to the stadium, you should still cheer loud and make it known in every way possible that you are an Aggie. Utah State football is on the brink of being great and breaking through a fog of failure and doubt. Even the smallest push can create big waves, and that small push just might be the unre-lenting support from fans. If you can’t find any other reason to get excited, at least get excited to cheer against BYU.

A goal allowed in the 9th minute. A red card for a head-butt in the 11th. There were still 79 minutes to play but being down a goal and a man was too much for Real Salt Lake to overcome, as Chicago Fire midfielder Pavel Pardo had a hat-trick to hand RSL a 3-0 loss Wednesday, at Rio Tinto Stadium. After a five-game win streak that propelled the team into an automatic playoff bid, Real Salt Lake has now lost two in a row, by a combined score of 7-0. Despite the automatic bid being secured, RSL head coach Jason Kreis is anything but pleased with his team’s recent dip in form.

“Absolutely, I’m concerned. I won’t be sleeping tonight,” Kreis said. “To take two results like this at this time in the year could be critical.” It was a game, though, that looked to have all the makings of another RSL victory. The team was playing in front of a record crowd at Rio Tinto — 20,762 — and star midfielder Javier Morales was set to make his first appearance for the club since fracturing his ankle on May 7, against Chivas USA. Indeed, Real Salt Lake did come out brightly and had a wonderful opportunity in the 8th minute. RSL midfielder Will Johnson found forward Alvaro Saborio making a run, in, behind the Fire defense and slotted a nice through ball to him, but Saborio hooked his

shot, just wide. It was all downhill from there for Real Salt Lake. Chicago opened up the scor-ing just a minute after Saborio’s miss, completely against the run of play. Fire midfielder Marco Pappa received the ball off a throw-in and, with acres of space in front, took a dribble and curled a shot past the out-stretched hands of RSL goalie Nick Rimando. “I was very disappointed to see us give up a goal off of a throw-in,” said RSL defender Nat Borchers. “It’s something that we talk about every day, at training.” Then, just two minutes after the goal, Real Salt Lake went down a man when RSL

“I know JJ DiLuigi is a really good player,” the former track star said. “They have got some great wide receiv-ers, they look really talented. Their offensive line is always huge, so they are really tal-ented all the way around. Their quarterback Jake Heaps is a good player. All around they are a good offense from what I have seen, so far.” Aggie running back Robert Turbin has led the USU ground game, so far, this season. The redshirt junior needs one touchdown to take sole possession of the No. 3 spot on Utah State’s all-time rushing touchdown list and has rushed for over 100 yards in each of his last two games played. “I think Robert has a great knack and that is natural

ability to me,” Andersen said. “There are times where we ask him to be able to hit it down in, and there is other times where he bounces itout and obviously turns itself into a big play. I think as a back you have to be able to do both.”

What to watch for:

The running game will be important for the Aggies to control. The Cougars are cur-rently No. 116 in the Football Bowl Subdivision, with an average of 68 yards per game, while the Utah State defense allows an average of 82.7 yards per game on the ground. BYU quarterback Jake Heaps will have to have a good night with the Cougars,

to get the win. USU allowed an average of 197 yards through the air in their two close losses to Auburn and Colorado State. If Heaps beats the Aggie secondary, USU will have a tough time getting the win. USU will have to find a way to bounce back from the heartbreaking double-over-time loss to Colorado State last week on Homecoming. “It was a tough loss,” said USU wide receiver Austin Alder, who graduated from Provo High School. “As a team, we just have to come together, bounce back from it and weare ready to play BYU. We are excited.”

Down by three, midway through the third set, it looked like Louisiana Tech was on the way to being swept. A 10-3 run by the Bulldogs turned that deficit into a seven-point advan-tage and a 25-21 win, to avoid the shutout. The Lady Techsters were led by junior outside hitter Marcella Braz, who had nine kills to go with nine digs on the night. The Bulldogs also got solid performances out of fresh-man middle blocker Regan Himmelberg and sophomore

blocker Caitlin Germany, each with four kills. The Aggies bounced back in the fourth set, start-ing with a 5-0 run and never looking back, put-ting Louisiana Tech away by a margin of 25-12, while McArthur had five of her 20 kills in the set. “Defensively we did some nice things, and offensively we had a nice night as well,” DuBose said. “You look across the board and we got some stuff done tonight.” The Aggies had a .237 hit-

ting percentage as a team, for the night, but DuBose said the Aggies played better than the stats show. “If you discount the third game where we had 11 errors, we were over .300, so it was a nice match for us offensively,” DuBose said. USU will next face the crimson-clad Aggies of New Mexico State Saturday, Oct. 1, at 7 p.m. in Las Cruces, NM.

midfielder Kyle Beckerman was sent off. After getting his ankles clipped a couple times by Chicago midfielder Daniel Paladini, Beckerman turned and headbutted Paladini in the chest, not unlike France’s Zenedine Zidane, in the 2006 World Cup Final. Referee Baldomero Toledo had no choice but to give Beckerman a straight red card.

“I’m really, really aggra-vated,” Kreis said. “ It was was complete lack of discipline.” RSL responded well to the goal, while being a man down, and had a chance to bring things to level in the 28th min-ute, but once again RSL couldn’t put it away. Saborio found himself free, behind the Fire defense, after a great ball from RSL midfielder Andy Williams;

but with just the goalie to beat, he again hooked his shot just wide of the post. Minutes after the miss, Fire midfielder Pardo found Pappa with a slotted pass, and Pappa finished it nicely for his second goal of the game. “We tried to cheat the play a little bit and got punished for it,” Kreis said. “Again, lack of discipline.” RSL started out the second half on another good note, just as they’d done to start the game, but they still couldn’t find the net. With 30 minutes to go, and RSL needing a bit of a boost, Kreis decided to put Morales in. It was his first appearance since breaking his ankle 23 games ago. The record crowd at Rio Tinto greeted this substitution was a rousing ovation. It was a special moment for Morales. “It was wonderful. I got goosebumps,” Morales said. “It was one of the best feelings of

my career.” Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to turn the game around for RSL, and 15 minutes from time Pappa completed his hat-trick, after scoring his eighth goal of the season. He took it down the right side and was able to create a yard of space and finished it nicely past the diving Rimando. RSL will have to pick itself up and get ready for this Saturday’s showdown against the Western Conference leader LA Galaxy. Borchers said the game will be a test for the slumping Salt Lake team to go up against the likes of David Beckham and Landon Donovan. “They’re not going to back down to us at all,” Borchers said. “ So we’re going to have to bring our A-game if we really want to finish the season strong.”

When John Atwood took over as Utah State men’s lacrosse coach in January, he gutted the program. The for-mer player and his assistants scrambled to field a team and find success similar to what Atwood had in his nine years coaching at Sky View High School. “They brought us in to a team that was not going to exist unless they hired a new coach,” Atwood said. “Long

story short, we threw that team together in about three weeks.” In the process, the team had to disassociate with the university. The team played eight scrimmages last year, but, with the chaos of the coaching change, the Aggies had to drop out of the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference. “We didn’t want our play-ers to lose eligibility because we weren’t in a conference,” Atwood said. Eight months later, Atwood

is settled in and looking ahead to the future of Aggie lacrosse. He built Sky View lacrosse from the ground up, leading the Bobcats to a Division II state championship during his time with the team, and now Aggie lacrosse is back in the RMLC. Atwood said he’s rebuild-ing the program with a rela-tively small budget, compared to other schools in the state. The Aggies have raised their dues, but it’s still just a small pittance to play the game they love. Atwood said it’s all a numbers game. “If you play lacrosse at the University of Utah, it is $2,500,” said Atwood. “If you play for BYU, it’s $3,000, but they’re national champions, so they can do that.” With those amounts, USU’s dues of $1,050 per player is

just a drop in the bucket. The necessary increase has caused a drop in team members. “Our numbers are down because we’re trying to change the paradigm of Utah State lacrosse, or at least Utah State students who are lacrosse players,” Atwood said. The Aggies held a low-key scrimmage Wednesday, and there was no lack of talent. “We’ve got freshmen here who are First-Team All-State from all around the country,” Atwood said. “We’ve got All-Americans at Utah State who have transferred from other schools.” It’s this type of player, the ones who didn’t come to Utah State to play lacrosse, Atwood said he wants to reach out to. “There’s so much great talent on our team,” Atwood said. “And talent not on our

team that we want on our team.” Atwood says the scrim-mage gives the Aggies a strong starting point, heading into a new season. The talent he saw is definitely something to be happy about. “Just the fact that we had the numbers we had,” Atwood said, “it’s a great place to start, right now.” Aside from participation, the Aggies are excited about their level of play thus far. During the scrimmage, USU controlled the ball well, offen-sively. That kind of progress sits well with Atwood, who saw the opportunity as an encouraging springboard for improvement. “There’s a lot of to be happy about,” Atwood said. “But there’s a lot of work to be done as well.”

The Aggie offensive players weren’t the only ones in on the action. USU’s defense only recorded one failed clear on 20 attempts. While the team as a whole is impressive, Atwood declined to name specific players who are standing out. “Right now we’re just focusing on team everything,” Atwood said. “We’re rotating every player through positions and everyone’s getting playing time.” Utah State will see its first game action of the fall Oct. 7 when the team travels to Boise, Idaho, for the Gem State Invitational. The Aggies expect to play a minimum of four games in the tourna-ment, hosted by Boise State University.


Clownfish came out on top in the men’s final, this time with a 2-1 victory. The Ace of Spades was short manned — it started just nine players, instead of the usual 11. Despite the lack of depth, it managed some good chances in the first half. Ace of Spades’ players hit the crossbars twice in the half and caught the Clownfish off guard with its control. The score was tied, nil-nil, at the

half. After some questionable play on both sides, and a referee reminder about sportsmanship, Kyle Griffith broke through for the Spades and used his head to give his team a 1-nil lead. “We’re all competitive guys, so it ends up being chippy,” Singleton said. The Spades didn’t lead for long. Singleton took a well-placed ball and headed it into the back of the net, to tie up the

score, 1-1. The Fish’s JC Vasquez broke the tie with a goal, just min-utes later, when confusion in front of the goal turned into a scoring opportunity. Vasquez stepped in and booted the ball past Spades goalkeeper Andrew Walker. “We have great chemistry together,” Singleton said. Clownfish almost pushed its lead to two, but a late goal was called back on an offside viola-

tion. The championship victory marks the second time in three years many of the Clownfish players have won a champion-ship on the same team. “Even though we’re not always playing together,” Singleton said, “when we do get together, we play really well together.”

Why did the mule deer, moose and elk cross the road? They didn’t. Thanks to the research of Professor Patty Cramer and the efforts of the Utah Department of Transportation and the Utah Division of Wildlife resources, four-legged forest dwell-ers and dusk-to-dawn motorists have less unfortunate encounters. Instead, animals bypass the road altogether, via wildlife crossings — carefully constructed bridges and tunnels near busy highways. Cramer, a research assistant professor for the USU department of wildland resources, originally involved herself with the business of wildlife and transportation as a volunteer, she said. She came to Utah seven years ago to complete her doctorate, but said that wasn’t the sole reason behind her involvement. She said it stemmed from the innate passion she invests in everything she does. “It definitely came from a passion to save animals,” Cramer said. While on her way to Twin Falls, Idaho, to begin a new wildlife cross-ing project this week, she said she was saddened to see so much roadkill. “I care so much,” Cramer said. “I react, even to a skunk.” The proud owner of two dogs and a cat, Cramer said she worked at zoos in the Bronx and Honolulu before starting her work with wildlife cross-ings. “I’m hands on with animals,” she said. She is hands on to the point of dedicating her research to guiding woodland creatures safely over and under roadways, she said. The Twin Falls project is one of the newest efforts to keep animals off the streets. Other animal highway crossings exist in Washington, throughout Utah

and in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley, Cramer said. So how does one convince herds of wild animals to make use of a “The way we get wildlife to use the crossings is we install wildlife-proof fencing,” Cramer said. This fencing is eight-feet high, instead of the highway-standard four feet that the hoofed mammals can easily jump over, she added. By installing this fenc-ing for at least half a mile, on either side of the wild-life

cross-ing, “you can start encouraging the animals to use the crossings instead of going on the roads,” Cramer said. She said it is important that the crossings are acces-sible and natural looking to the animals. “I help the departments of trans-portation develop the structures,” Cramer said. “If they look too much like bridges, the animals won’t use them.” They can’t look too much

like caves, either, as the animals will assume they are inhabited by preda-tors, she said. There are four of these culvert-like wildlife crossings between Logan and

Brigham City, Cramer said. “Look for the fencing to come

close to the highway,” she said. “When it comes closer

it means — under the road — there’s a

culvert.”Cramer’s

research largely

sists of set-

ting up motion-detect-

ing cameras to capture the travel

patterns of wildlife. The information gathered

from these cameras is used both to survey land for future

crossings and gauge the success of current crossings. “In three years of monitoring, with 35 cameras all over the state, I have recorded more than 15,000 mule deer passes underneath and over the road in our wildlife crossings,” Cramer said. “They very much work.”

Cramer is giving a presentation on her research at the Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter in Park City, Utah, on Saturday, Oct. 1. The presentation, entitled “Road Kill to Road Wise,” requires a reservation and includes a field trip to a wildlife crossing near Lamb’s Canyon, according to the USU Event Calendar. Sally Tauber, Swaner EcoCenter’s director of business development, said the center can accommodate up to 120 guests for the presentation. “We wouldn’t want to turn some-one away just because they didn’t RSVP,” Tauber said. She said Cramer spoke at the Swaner EcoCenter last year and was well received. The reserve is one of the greenest buildings in Utah, and

sits on 1,200 acres of preserved land, according to the Swaner

EcoCenter website. “About a year

and a half ago, Swaner EcoCenter and

Preserve was gifted to Utah State

University,” Tauber said. She said this

ownership gives the center a special connection to the

work of researchers like Cramer. A similar event will take place in

Logan the following Saturday, Cramer said. At these presentations, she likes to be visionary and inform people that these crossings are the future of wildlife and transportation. Cramer gave readers three pieces of advice to avoid automobile acci-dents with deer, moose and elk. “Slow down in areas where you think there might be wildlife,” she said, “so that you can react.” Cramer sited a Wyoming study that showed drivers only slow down an average of five mph when they see a sign noting deer or other wildlife in the area. “People do not slow down,” she said. “That’s one amazing thing that has baffled me.

They are limited by a government agency, for now, in the activities they can do. But that doesn’t keep the Outdoor Recreation Program from providing USU students with opportunities to utilize the outdoors scene around them. ORP Program Coordinator Brian Shirley said the Logan River branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service cur-rently limits the organization from conducting activities within the Wasatch-Cache-Uinta National Forest lands during the non-winter months, for conservation purposes. Paul Jones, an ORP employee, said the ORP is also defined as a commercial company and thus has to pay heftier fees for outings such as whitewater rafting trips. The fees, he said, ought to instead be significantly lower for the ORP, because they are a non-profit organization designed primarily for students. Jones said the ORP now requires $65 for an eight-mile guided float by Mad River. “What college student is going to pay $65 for a whitewater trip?” Jones, a USU senior psychology major, asked. “We could get a lot more students into the mountains if we didn’t have these regula-tions. Commercial companies are paid to take students out, and they’re making quite a bit of money, but here, we pretty much don’t get anything.” Shirley said the organization currently utilizes its guides and outfitters permits to operate the Green Canyon and Blind Hollow yurts during the winter, to guide backcountry skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing trips. But such snow excursions are merely the tip of the iceberg, Jones said, when it comes to the recreational options the ORP offers. “If you don’t want to be a hard-core backcountry skier, there are other options for you,” said Jones, who has worked for the ORP for more than two years. “Some events reach a wide collection of students.”Such events include hikes and trips to the yurts, for purely getaway purposes, without the expectation that participants get their Bode Miller on, he said. “Some activities, all you have to do is walk,” Jones added. A portion of student registration fees funds a $20 of ORP credit, Shirley said, so students should take advantage of activities such as the Oct. 6 kayak roll clinic at the HPER building pool. The kayak roll clinics themselves have been a point of struggle for the organization, Shirley added. The university does not permit the kayaks used at the HPER building to be used outdoors. This restriction prompted Shirley, who has been program coordinator since summer, to survey outdoor programs at other universities, concerning the degree of limitations encountered with equipment like the kayaks, he said.

University of Wyoming and Oregon State University have programs that are permitted to take the clinic kayaks outside of the campus pools, provided they apply basic anti-bacterial cleaners to the kayaks, he reported. Considering a basic, two-person kayak can cost $200 or more, using the same kayak both in training and applied outdoors purpos-es provides savings Shirley said he would like to see implemented at USU. “It would really help us with a tight budget,” Shirley said. “Let alone how it can better use student fees, ultimately.” The spring semester activities are already in discussion. Shirley said he hopes to take about 30 student volunteers to Moab, Utah, for outdoor recreation, during spring break. While there he said he plans to have the team remove tamarisk, or salt cedar, a pervasive, non-indigenous plant species that has spread up and down the

Colorado River Corridor. “It’s pretty impressive if students want to help,” said Rebecca Manners, a graduate student specializing in geomorphic and vegeta-tive feedback in the Colorado River Basin. “It’s not an easy species to take out. You have to remove the roots to purge it completely, but it’s not easy to get past the branches because it’s so thick.” Tamarisk was introduced by biological engineers from the Army Corps of Engineers, in the 1800s, in an effort to stabilize an area of soil that was eroding due to river silt depository.Shirley emphasized the importance of abiding by the Forest Service’s current policies. “It is important to the ORP that we abide by these standards, and we encourage other groups on campus to do so as well,” he said.

The temperature of censorship

Sushi-Ya rolls into Cache Valley

‘Moneyball’ is worth all the money spent

Paper burns at 451 degrees fahrenehit, and that is where Ray Bradbury got the name for his classic novel, “Fahrenheit 451.” In honor of Banned Books Week, why not read the ulti-mate book about banned books? “Fahrenheit 451,” is a book about the consequences of censorship, and it is a book everyone should read before they finish college. “Fahrenheit 451” tells the story of one man, Guy Montag, and his eventual rebellion against the sys-tem he once enforced. The story is set in a futuristic world, one in which no one is allowed to read books, and everyone sits around watching wall-sized TVs and lis-tening to “seashell radios” in their ears. Montag is a fireman, only instead of putting them out, firemen in this age ignite the fires. Montag

is part of a team that exterminates litera-ture, traveling around building bonfires out of books. Montag begins to question why they are burning the books and does not show up for work one day. Montag’s boss comes over to his house and explains it is normal

for firemen to go through this stage of questioning. He begins to tell the story of why books were banned in the first place, say-ing many “special interest groups” and “minorities” protested against things that offended them. Writers lost their creativity, because they were too worried about being politically correct and not offend-ing anyone. Soon, rather than read books that all sounded similar, the author-ities decided to ban books alto-gether. They began to burn all books, even classic literature, com-pletely wiping them off the face of

the earth. Or so they thought.After a series of events, Montag runs away and finds a group of rebels who are trying to preserve the literature that is almost extinct. They each have an assignment to memorize, and Montag’s is the book of Ecclesiastes. Now, I won’t ruin the ending for you, but I will say it’s not what you would expect. This book is about questioning what we perceive as normal and having the courage to rebel against it. And it succeeds in the most simple, yet spectacular, way. This book sends a perfect mes-sage of the consequences of cen-sorship. Sometimes things need to be written, even if they might offend a few people. Discussion causes progression, and if we are too scared to say anything, how will we ever progress? I recently heard that some people want to go through clas-sic literature like Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn” and take out “the N-word,” because nowa-days it is offensive. Yes, it may be

offensive, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist in real life. Literature is about showing life — about study-ing it. How can we be realistic if we don’t acknowledge that sometimes people offend other people? “Fahrenheit 451” casts aside

political correctness in favor of growth. It is a book about refining who we are by questioning what we see. It demonstrates how dull our lives can get without books, without discussion. Montag’s wife literally believes everything she sees on her wall-sized TV, never once asking where the information is coming from, or if it is true or not. She suffers the consequences of conformity, and even betrays her husband for stepping out and asking questions. More of us should be like Montag, and less of us like his wife. Let us encourage discussion and be less easily offended. Let us real-ize the true purpose of literature, and do everything in our power to prevent the same fate in our own lives.

Book Review

“Fahrenheit

I’ve lived in Cache Valley for a little more than two years and — even though I thoroughly enjoy a wide range of Asian cuisine and eat sea-food at least twice a week — it wasn’t until recently, I finally decided to see what kinds of sushi Logan has to offer. Everyone I’ve asked suggests either the Black Pearl or Happy Sushi — one or two people actually mentioned Takara. Someday, I’m sure I’ll wander into at least two out of three of those places, but as of yet I haven’t been to any of them. For my first experience, though, I decided to check out the latest addition to the Cache Valley sushi repertoire, and it goes by the name Sushi-Ya. Before I discuss my experience, I’d like to discuss a couple of topics that frequent-ly come up among the cow-loving, over-cooked-meat-and-potatoes crowd that pre-dominantly populates our beautiful valley. First, as a waiter I would get cross looks of bewilderment as I described dinner spe-cials that included items such as King salm-on or Alaskan snow crab. Customers would usually ask a predictable joke that went

something like, “Did you catch the fish in the Logan River?” After some forced laugh-ter, I would go on to explain that fish can be flash frozen and flown in to any place with an airstrip. Yes, it costs more — which is why seafood is usually a high-ticket item — but the freshness and quality of the fish is not lost in the process. More often than not, my explanation was met with skepticism, at best, and people would proceed to order the chicken. Second, I’d like to dispel any rumors that eating raw seafood will surely leave a per-son deathly ill. It is true that raw and under-cooked seafood that is mishandled or of poor quality can cause sickness, but this is part of the enjoyment of eating sushi — not everyone is brave enough to do so. Besides, have you seen some of the stuff they grill on a stick in some Asian countries? If whole cultures of people are comfortable eating raw fish, I’m confident it’s safe to eat; the chances of getting sick are certainly slimmer than, say, with raw chicken or ground beef. I’m pleased to say Sushi-Ya offers well-handled, high-quality seafood, and for $18.95 I opted for the all-you-can-eat treat-ment. Since I was alone, I sat at the bar where a waitress brought me a Dr Pepper. Then, I was greeted by my personal chef, a woman who spoke little English — which is perfect, seriously — I always feel more comfortable eating ethnic food when it’s prepared by someone who is likely from the country where the recipe originated.

Like any good restaurant patron I asked the chef for recommendations. She sug-gested, for starters, that I have the Godzuki roll. Good choice. This woman knew I hold very little regard for my taste buds — at least when it comes to spicy things. The Godzuki was doused in Sriracha, which is a hot sauce made from sun-ripened Thai chilies. Thai chilies are — no joke — super spicy, plus they enhance the flavor profile when mixed with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger. By the time I was finishing the last two portions of my first roll, the smiling chef was passing another roll to me over the counter. This one, she said, was a standard tempura shrimp roll. At that point, I felt I was off to a great start and moving at a pace that would promote a good level of all-you-can-eat endurance. As that thought vaporized in the lingering heat of Thai chili sauce, I realized I was wrong. Another sushi chef joined in on the attack and handed me a roll called the CK Special — crystal shrimp and spicy crab rolled in rice and seaweed, then topped with avocado and crab, with a spicy teriyaki sauce. The CK Special was one of my two favor-ite rolls — the other being the upside-down shrimp roll — but it didn’t take long to realize these happy, smiling sushi chefs had me in their cross-hairs. Fifteen minutes and eight rolls into my Sushi-Ya experience, I was delir-iously drunken with seafood. I was counting the plates in front of me and trying to use math equations to figure out if I would make

it out of the restaurant alive. The sushi was fresh, delicious and all up in my face. I don’t think the chefs knew I was going to write a review, but they sure acted like they wanted to impress me; and they did. I give Sushi-Ya an A plus. I’m definitely going back. The interior is still that of a Mexican restaurant. There was also a ladder hanging from the wall and an unfinished tank that I was told will be a fish pond. My waitress told me that when the interior is finished Sushi-Ya will have a grand opening. I suggest to all readers who enjoy eating sushi in a landlocked state the way I do — make your way to Sushi-Ya for a full-on sushi assault. Sushi-Ya borders south Logan and north Providence, located in the same shopping center as Walmart and Rumbi Island Grill. Specifically, it’s in the building that used to be occupied by Bajio Mexican Grill. For the sake of the owners and employees of Sushi-Ya, I hope business thrives. The restaurant is in its second week of operation and, accord-ing to one of the sushi chefs, business is steady.

I never thought I’d get emot ional ly involved in a baseball game until I saw “Moneyball.” Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) is a small-market general man-ager for the Oakland A’s. They have a low budget of $38 million and are trying to defeat giants who compete with $120 million. Beane is forced to look for replacement players after the team loses three of its stars. While Beane is on his quest, he meets with a friend from the past who runs another team. As Beane tries to negotiate for players, brilliant player-analyst Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) keeps disrupting Beane’s game. After the meeting Beane hunts down Brand and begins to change his views on baseball — how the game is played. Brand, a summation of Maryland, Yale and baseball, has a math-ematical method on how to have a winning team. Beane buys into Brand’s ideas, and they begin to rethink the game of baseball. Using Brand’s program and assistance,

Beane assembles a team from the “island of misfit toys” to turn the A’s game around. Slowly and surely, the A’s start to win games, but no matter how hard they work, relentless opposi-tion surrounds every move they make. “Moneyball” is a humorous movie, but not because the characters told jokes. The situa-tions and the realistic one-liners kept the audi-ence laughing frequently. Flashbacks of Beane’s life help the audience develop an understanding of his unique per-spective as a former all-star player, turned gen-eral manager. The movie shows how Beane used his experience to develop the team because he cut through the fluff of baseball politics and went straight to teaching. As Beane became more involved with his players and developed relationships with them, he became inspired to help others, and he developed into a great leader. His growth brought the team closer together, and it was great to see it all come together. Beane and Brand worked to change the game and make a difference, and it was inter-esting to see the reactions and perspectives of those in the baseball industry, especially the scouts and recruiters. I don’t understand baseball that well, so having that extra dimen-sion helped me understand how the baseball system works.

The movie had a documentary feel, at times. In the opening sequences and through-out the film, actual footage is shown of some of the games and sports news reports on the games and the team. This was great to keep reminding the audience that the movie is based on a true story. Although some people said the movie was

long, it didn’t feel long to me. The length was just about right for the story to be understood and well done. “Moneyball” is a movie with a heart. The audience is given the chance to bond with the characters by learning about some of the players and their lives outside of baseball. Further, Beane’s daughter Casey

(Kerris Dorsey) gives more depth to Pitt’s character and his familial responsibilities, strengthening the emotional connec-tion the audience has with the movie. The score of the movie was good, but the balance was what stuck out to me. Casey Beane’s song gives a humorous emotional touch to the movie. Her song really shows her sup-port for her father and how she can love him through all the uncertainty of what’s ahead in life. Pitt (“Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” Ocean’s Trilogy) continues to have an uncanny resemblance to Robert Redford. He did not overwhelm the screen with his fame, and he played a regular person quite well. Hill (“How to Train Your Dragon,” “Superbad”) brings a nerdy, comedic edge to the film. He fits the look and attitude of an analyst ready to change baseball. I thoroughly enjoyed Hill’s entrance scene as Brand. It was hilarious and revealed Brand’s brilliance early on. Dorsey practically steals the show with her song she only sings twice, which is more than enough to lift one’s spirits and give a good feeling to the entire movie. She has a good singing voice, and I think she’ll go far in the movie industry with a pos-sible singing career. The only reason I rated “Moneyball” an A- is because the F-word was used twice when it didn’t need to be there. If all the foul language had been cut, “Moneyball” would have been rated PG, and I would have rated it an A. All in all, I felt good at the end of the movie. Enjoy the show!

down.” Her second caution regarded drivers’ reactions when faced suddenly with an animal in the road. “Don’t swerve,” Cramer said. “We have students in the state that have swerved to avoid hitting an animal and have died because they flipped (their cars).” “Be alert,” she said, as her final piece of advice. “If you do see an animal, know they travel in herds.” Though she offers this advice, Cramer does not lead lectures on drivers slowing down or taking more care on highways. Instead, she said she continues to provide alternate routes for the animals. “Wildlife are easier to train than drivers,” she said.

The many uses for gold

Worth its weight

Mountains of salt

Most of the world’s gold is used to make jewelry. India, the unofficial center of bling, has the greatest demand for gold.

Gold is on fire. With concerns over the U.S. debt

limit, financial crisis in Europe, a pos-sible double-dip recession and a fal-tering stock market, Gold prices are upnearly 40 percent in the past 12 months.

The run-up has sent consumers topawnshops and investors to their portfo-lios.

Here’s a look at some of the facts andfigures that make the metal so intrigu-ing.

— Ryan Haggerty, Chicago Tribune

The gold-selling business is bustling at jewelrystores, kiosks, coin stores and pawn shops. Add inonline sales and home parties, and you’ve got a boom.

With goldprices so high,almost anyonewilling to partwith a few trin-kets can walkout with a fewhundred dollars.With only asmall handful ofgold, it’s easy tohit the $1,000mark.

As goldprices haverisen, so has thecompetition forbuying gold. Services like Cash4Gold andMoney4Gold are part of the online craze that encour-ages consumers to mail in their gold. In almost everyshopping center, you’ll find someone offering to buygold. They’re also competing against independent con-sultants that offer private consultations or in-home par-ties.

There’s no standard price on how much shopperswill get for the jewelry. Some places will pay as muchas 90 percent of the market value of gold, reducedbased on how much below 24-karat the piece is. Butothers pay as little as 65 percent of the market value.

— McClatchy Newspapers

Rising gold prices have sentprice-conscious consumers toother metals. Some brides andgrooms are buying wedding

bands made from alternativemetals like tungsten or titanium. Silver fashion jewelryhas gained popularity, with designer collections featur-ing gold and diamond accents.

— McClatchy Newspapers

If the rise of gold prices make the precious metalseem like an investment too good to be true, it justmight be.

Given gold’s volatility you won’t find many advis-ers suggesting that you start chasing gold profits rightnow. And you won’t find any of them telling clients toload up on actual gold bullion — the better option,they say, is to go with gold-related exchange-tradedfunds, which don’t require storage and, unlike mutualfunds, can be bought and sold during the trading day.

People who get in at the end of a speculative bubblesuch as the current one are hurt more than anyonewhen prices collapse, warns Susan Spraker, presidentof Spraker Wealth Management in Maitland, Fla.Spraker has been putting her clients in gold for severalyears — mainly SPDR Gold Shares (ticker symbolGLD) — using a consistent buy-and-sell, profit-takingstrategy.

Others aren’t buying into the gold rush at all.They cite the precious metal’s long history of price

crashes, especially from January 1980 to June 1982,when prices for the metal plummeted 65 percent.
