nician major, alleges Curtis James Altman stabbed him, said Mike Rehfus, the Muncie Police Detective investigating the incident.

Police arrested Altman later that night on the preliminary charge of aggravated battery. Aggravated battery can carry anywhere between 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine to three years in prison depending on the severity of the attack, according to Indiana Code.

University Police are aiding in the investigation, university spokesperson Joan Todd said.

“We want to see the assailant brought to justice,” Todd said. “And at this point believe the prospects of that are good.”

Guarriello was stabbed in the gut by a three-inch long hunting knife that missed hitting his heart by two inches, according to a Facebook post he made Sunday, looking to quell rumors. He said the knife cut into his liver, which led to surgery.

He was taken to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital.

Guarriello declined to comment on the stabbing.

Guarriello was stabbed after an altercation began outside a party on West Abbott Street because the suspect and his two friends were refused from entering the party, Rehfus said. The party occurred at a private residence.

Rehfus said the suspects were stopped because they didn’t know any fraternity members at the party to be let in and started arguing with people outside. Guarriello is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

The ruling also required Indiana to recognize same-sex marriage licenses from other states.

Freshman tied to hacker ring International group of 4 charged with stealing $100 million of data KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu A Ball State freshman is one of four members of an international hacking ring that have been charged with hacking into Microsoft and the U.S. Army to steal data.

Austin Alcala, along with three others, was charged with stealing more than $100 million dollars of data, including software used to train military helicopter pilots and “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,”

according to a statement by the U.S. Department of Justice.

They were charged with 18 counts, including conspiracy to commit computer fraud, copyright infringement, wire fraud, identity theft and theft of trade secrets.

They gained access to the computer networks and stole usernames and passwords of company employees, according to the superseding indictment and other court records.

The indictment also says they stole unreleased software, trade secrets and copyrighted works that have not been released yet.

NURSE IN MADRID CONFIRMED FOR 1ST EBOLA TRANSMISSION

MADRID (AP) — In the first known transmission of the current outbreak of Ebola outside West Africa, a Spanish nurse who treated a missionary for the disease at a Madrid hospital tested positive for the virus, Spain’s health minister said Monday.

The female nurse was part of the medical team that treated a 69-year-old Spanish priest who died in a hospital last month after being flown back from Sierra Leone, where he was posted, Health Minister Ana Mato said.

The World Health Organization confirmed there has not been a previous transmission outside West Africa in the current outbreak.

WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib told The Associated Press that so far there have only been confirmed cases in West Africa and the United States, and no known transmission outside West Africa. The organization is awaiting official notification of the case from Spanish authorities.

3. VA FIRES 4 SENIOR EXECUTIVES IN SCANDAL WASHINGTON (AP) — The Veterans Affairs Department are firing four senior executives as officials move to crack down on wrongdoing following a nationwide scandal over long wait times for veterans seeking medical care, and falsified records covering up the delays.

The dismissals are the first since Congress passed a law this summer making it easier for veterans who

experience delays to get care outside VA’s nationwide network of hospitals and clinics. The law also made it easier for the agency to fire senior officials suspected of wrongdoing, shortening their appeals process to 28 days.

“There should be no doubt that when we discover evidence of wrongdoing, we will hold employees accountable,” said Deputy VA secretary Sloan Gibson

Morning scenes at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Oct. 2 in Dallas. The hospital is where Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan sought treatment.

MURSITPINAR, Turkey (AP) — Islamic State militants backed by tanks and artillery waged a relentless assault Monday against a Syrian border town, advancing close enough to raise two of the group’s black flags on the outskirts despite stiff resistance from the town’s Kurdish defenders.

Just across the frontier in Turkey, the steady thud of artillery, sharp

crackle of gunfire and plumes of smoke rising over the rooftops testified to the intensity of the fight for Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab.

Capturing Kobani would give the Islamic State group, which already rules a huge stretch of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border, a direct link between its positions in the Syrian province of Aleppo and its stronghold of Raqqa.

USA SWIMMING SUSPENDS MICHAEL PHELPS CHICAGO (AP) — A 19-year-old American left a letter expressing disgust with Western society for his parents before trying to board a plane in Chicago, the first step in his plan to sneak into Syria to join the Islamic State group, according to a federal criminal complaint released Monday.

Mohammed Hamzah Khan, a U.S. citizen who lived with his parents in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, was arrested Satur-

day while trying to board a plane to Turkey, which borders Syria. He is charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group.

Before heading to the airport, Khan allegedly left a three-page, handwritten letter in his bedroom for his parents, explaining why he chose to join the Islamic State. The letter, according to the complaint, read: “We are all witness that the western societies are getting more immoral day by day.”

On Monday. USA Swimming suspended Michael Phelps for six months, forced him to withdraw from next year’s world championships and took away his funding from the sport’s national governing body as a result of the Olympic champion’s second DUI arrest.

USA Swimming said Phelps violated its Code of Conduct, and cited a section of its 2014 Rule Book in punishing Phelps.

The suspension won’t keep Phelps from training with his North Baltimore club, but he is banned from participating in USA Swimming-sanctioned meets through April 6, 2015.

Phelps and USA Swimming also agreed that he won’t compete in the world swimming championships in Russia next August. His monthly funding stipends will be stopped during the suspension.

Kelly Hopkins, a redshirt junior, has seen action in 59 sets so far this season, surpassing her 49 sets last year. Hopkins is known as a reliable player in crunch time, and her 146 kills this season shows that.

KNACK FOR BIG PLAYS More playing time, increased role in matches boost confidence level of redshirt junior

|

JAKE FOX ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @fakejox3

Editor’s note: Kelly Hopkins was a graphics reporter for the Daily News in the spring of 2014.

In late match situations, the outcome usually comes down to one or two crucial plays.

Being in the right place at the right time can sometimes be enough, but for Ball State women’s volleyball player Kelly Hopkins, her play has gone beyond just luck.

“There’s something about [Hopkins], she delivers at crunch time,” head coach Steve Shondell said. “Throwing balls back in the court, she just seems to have a knack to put the ball where

there’s no defensive players.”

A redshirt junior, Hopkins has waited patiently for her opportunity to play big-time minutes.

After redshirting her freshman year, she only played in 12 matches as a redshirt freshman.

“Although I wasn’t playing on the court, just being able to practice and learn so much just about the college game and from Steve [Shondell] ... has really helped me to grow as a player,” Hopkins said.

During her redshirt sophomore year, Hopkins played in 21 matches, starting in six. While she received increased playing time, she still played in less than half of the team’s possible sets.

This season, the middle blocker and opposite side at-

tacker has solidified her position, playing in 59 sets, already surpassing the 49 sets she played in last year.

Her 146 kills rank second on the team and are more than she recorded her first two seasons combined.

“We were hoping [Hopkins] would evolve into a go-to player,” Shondell said. “Hoping and doing it are two different things, and she has really become someone we can count on.”

Ball State has counted on Hopkins heavily lately, as she has come through in crunch time throughout the season.

A native of Kokomo, Ind., Hopkins produced multiple clutch blocks and kills late in matches against Eastern Michigan and

COACH LOOKS FOR IMPROVED PHYSICALITY AFTER MAC LOSS

Central Michigan, including recording the match-winning kill in the deciding fifth set against the Eagles.

“You can’t be timid, you can’t have the thoughts in your head ‘I can’t hit this in the net,’ ‘I can’t get blocked’ or ‘I can’t serve this out of bounds,’” Hopkins said.

“You have to go out there with the mentality that you are going to make that play, and I think that’s taken my game to a whole new level.”

With experience comes confidence, and Hopkins said her confidence level is “definitely” up this year.

After splitting time with Lauren Grant last season, Hopkins’ mindset changed knowing she would be placed in a more

prominent role.

“All through preseason and everything, knowing I had that role made me focus more on improving every day,” Hopkins said. “I knew that I had to be confident to go out there and play.”

Hopkins’ confidence level has been on full display as of late, recording 42 kills in the past three matches, all against Mid-American Conference opponents. She has also hit efficiently, posting a .438 attack percentage to go along with the sound defensive play she has provided.

More importantly, she has helped Ball State rise above .500 at 9-8, a mark the team has been under since Sept. 12.

At 3-1 in conference, the Cardinals currently own sole pos-

session of second place in the MAC West Division.

Hopkins will look to continue her breakout campaign, as Ball State continues conference play. The Cardinals expectations of winning the MAC haven’t changed, and Hopkins said the team is taking it one match at a time.

With Hopkins and others playing at such a high level, Ball State has been able to improve execution, winning six of its last eight matches.

“I think if we continue to play like we are, having both our offense and defense there, we are unstoppable,” she said. “When we’re all playing with confidence and all doing our job, we’re unstoppable.”

Even though the Ball State soccer team suffered its first home loss of the season to Toledo on Oct. 5, head coach Craig Roberts isn’t looking at it as a negative.

“We weren’t outmatched skill wise, just when things got physical. We will look at that this week and find out what we can do when we face other teams with that kind of physicality,” Roberts said.

Ball State was unable to muster any sort of offense Oct. 5, however, falling to a Toledo squad who entered on a six-match losing streak.

“The game was very physical, and physically we were outmatched,” Roberts said.

The loss was the Cardinals first since dropping a 2-0 contest to Purdue on Aug. 29.

By splitting its weekend matches, Ball State falls into a three-way tie with Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan for second place in the Mid-American Conference West Division.

Next weekend, Ball State will not have the luxury of home field advantage, with road matches against MAC opponents Ohio and Kent State set for Oct. 10 and Oct. 12 respectively.

After a non decision by the Supreme Court, same-sex marriages will be allowed in six more states, starting immediately . Many courthouses across these states, like this one in Delaware County in June, will soon be able to issue marriage licences to same sex couples.

MUNCIE: Spectrum member MARRIAGE: More circuit courts set to make decisions hopes for national equality | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Vice president of Spectrum, a LGBTQ support group, Brian Robbins said he was excited and shocked.

“This decision came out of nowhere from the Supreme Court,” he said. “It is just very exciting to know that equality is coming.”

Governor Mike Pence released a statement, which said he will still uphold the ruling although he still believes in traditional marriage.

“While it is disappointing to many that the Supreme Court has chosen not to hear arguments on this important issue, under our system of government, people are free to disagree with court

decisions but we are not free to disobey them,“ he said in a press release.

While Spectrum Treasurer Ben Anderson is thankful for the Supreme Court’s decision he said he would have liked the court to allow marriage equality across the country.

“I think this is a great move toward national marriage equality and I thank the Supreme Court for its decision,” he said.

Anderson said he hopes to see Indiana’s LGBT community get involved in other political issues such as transgender rights and more representation in the government.

“I’m very excited for what the future holds for the LGBT movement,” Anderson said.

Those states would be bound by the same appellate rulings that were put on hold pending the Supreme Court’s review No other state cases were currently pending with the high court, but the justices stopped short of resolving for now the question of same-sex marriage nationwide. Still, those 11 states would make 30 states where same-sex marriage is legal, plus the District of Columbia.

Challenges are pending in every other state.

Evan Wolfson, president of Freedom to Marry, called on the high court to “finish the job.”

February 2014 After a change in the original resolution, the revised version of HJR-3 was approved, but has to be voted on again in 2015 or 2016

Wolfson said the court’s “delay in affirming the freedom to marry nationwide prolongs the patchwork of state-to-state discrimination and the harms and indignity that the denial of marriage still inflicts on too many couples in too many places.”

Ed Whelan of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, an opponent of same-sex marriage, also chastised the court for its “irresponsible denial of review in the cases.” Whelan said it is hard to see how the court could eventually rule in favor of samesex marriage bans after having allowed so many court decisions striking down those bans to remain in effect.

The situation was changing rapidly Monday in the affected states.

• Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, said the fight against same-sex marriage “is

“He was kind of proud of it,” she said. “It’s just weird to think that somebody I know [is a part of this]. I guess we kind of should have thought he could do more with it, but at the time it’s just a high school kid messing around with computers, but then you find out he’s part of an international hacking group.”

Fred Cate, the director of the Center for Applied Cyber Security Research at Indiana University, said for some people, hacking starts off as a game. “‘Can I do it, can I get away with this? Can I get in without being detected?’ It’s not done for financial gain, particularly young computer geeks get into it for bragging rights,” Cate said.

Even with the game-like introduction to it, Cate said hacking used to be centered on bragging rights or childish pranks, but now is changing to be done a lot more for financial gain.

hacking is people trying to steal credit card numbers, governments trying to steal sensitive information or military secrets or companies trying to steal competitors drawings, plans or financial reports.

“I think we’re seeing a lot more of it now in the more sophisticated and far more nefarious type of hacking,” Cate said.

Cate said the market for stolen data is huge, and hackers tend to use the Internet as a way of selling things like email addresses, credit cards and illicit games.

But the stolen data doesn’t only harm the companies.

Cate said it would hurt pretty much everyone.

“It would drive up the price of the good, because Microsoft has to spend more on security,” Cate said. “That could hurt everyone. We might see companies use more security now… and in terms of the U.S. Army stuff, it’s all paid for by tax payers. It would be hard to say it only hurts the Army and not everybody.”

Judges in the Cincinnati-based 6th Circuit who are weighing pro-gay marriage rulings in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee, appeared more likely to rule in favor of state bans than did the 9th Circuit judges in San Francisco, who are considering Idaho and Nevada restrictions on marriage.

James Esseks of the American Civil Liberties Union said he believes the court will quickly take up a case if an appeals court upholds state bans.

It takes just four of the nine justices to vote to hear a case, but it takes a majority of at least five for an eventual ruling.

With four justices each in the liberal and conservative camps and Justice Anthony Kennedy more or less in the middle, it appeared that neither side of the court wanted to take up the issue now.

• Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, a Democrat, said marriage licenses could start to be issued to same-sex couples as early as Monday afternoon.

• In Oklahoma, the clerk in the largest county said he would await a formal order from the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals before he begins issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. That court had placed its ruling striking down the state ban on hold.

Two other appeals courts, in Cincinnati and San Francisco, could issue decisions any time in same-sex marriage cases.

COLLEGE REPUBLICAN’S AD INSULTS WOMEN, YOUTH LAUREN CHAPMAN MISS KNOWIT-ALL

LAUREN CHAPMAN IS A SENIOR JOURNALISM AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS MAJOR AND WRITES ‘MISS KNOW-IT-ALL’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO LAUREN AT LECHAPMAN @BSU.EDU.

I am a woman. I am also a huge fan of foreign and domestic politics and therefore don’t need to be tricked into caring about politics by a poorly executed “Say Yes to the Dress” parody for the governor’s race in Florida.

If it sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is.

In a video published on Oct. 1, the College Republican National Committee targeted young female voters to support Rick Scott as he faces off against Charlie Crist in the Florida governor’s race.

Scott is depicted as a modern dress that is cost efficient and shares his name. Crist is depicted as an outdated dress with additional costs that also shares his name in the ad’s heavyhanded metaphor.

In theory, you could make this metaphor work. But with the clear play on TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress” and the dramatic targeting at women, this becomes downright insulting.

While attempting to target women, they managed to alienate anyone with a brain.

It sends the message that women can’t understand politics unless it relates to shopping, and this ad further

illustrates how out of touch politics is with everyday life.

A political candidate is not a dress.

You don’t need to put things in the context of shopping for a woman to understand it.

I understand a lot of things that don’t relate to shopping. I enjoy watching TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress” with one of my roommates. I also enjoy watching baseball, rebuilding computers and being the handy-man of my house.

This is more insulting to women who take pride in their femininity. A woman who likes expressing her femininity isn’t stupid. She’s a woman. Fun fact: she’s allowed to be a woman.

Your political leanings aren’t a fashion statement. President Barack Obama purses from 2008 aside, people and their politics are significantly different from their demographics.

All this video shows female voters is their lack of connection with them.

Former state representative Ana Rivas Logan told the Tampa Bay Times this advertisement was a showcase of the Republican Party’s “reliance on sexism to communicate with voters.”

The best part is this ad is a carbon copy of six others. They changed the match-ups, but every other element is the same.

But this video continues to be insulting for the rest of the college-aged demographic. The video starts off with the bride saying that she has just graduated college and is focused on saving money.

If you’re arguing fiscal conservatism, that’s great. As adults welcoming life full of filing taxes and real jobs, targeting a college-age demographic on the cost of fiscal liberalism is a great way to communicate your goals.

But because you’re under the age of 30, the CRNC thinks you’re twodimensional.

This ad is part of a $1 million campaign the CRNC launched for the 2014 election cycle. The Republican Party lost the presidential election, despite having a 2 million vote lead over Obama in voters over the age of 30. The CRNC says on their website, “Making in-roads with young voters is both possible and essential, and must begin today.”

It’s not possible if you treat young female voters as sitcom tropes.

FORUM POLICY The Daily News forum page aims to stimulate discussion in the Ball State community.

The Daily News welcomes reader viewpoints and offers three vehicles of expression for reader opinions: letters to the editor, guest columns and feedback on our website.

Letters to the editor must be signed and appear as space permits each day. The limit for letter length is approximately 350 words. All letters must be typed. The editor reserves the right to edit and condense submissions.

The name of the author is usually published but may be withheld for compelling reasons, such as physical harm to the author. The editor decides this on an individual basis and must consult the writer before withholding the name.

Those interested in submitting a letter can do so by emailing opinion@bsudailynews.com or editor@bsudailynews.com

Young voters did not represent as highly as expected in the 2012 presidential election. Pew Research explained the voter turnout from 2008 to 2012 dropped 7 percent.

That problem is double-sided. It’s the fault of politicians for treating the 18-29-year old demographic as moody teens who are uninterested in the politics of their country. The only thing the 55-60 year old politicians in our national government can connect with younger voters on is TLC shows.

The next awful advertisement should be Honey Boo Boo telling people “it’s okay to be gay.”

But this disconnect is also the fault of 18-29 year-olds who aren’t interested in the politics of their country.

It’s okay for you to have your own political opinions. You don’t have to follow your demographic. But no politician is going to take you or our generation seriously if we continue to be politically ignorant.

Pay attention to the news. Care about what is going on in the world.

And, of course, don’t wear a wedding dress with tiered ruffles.

Get connected with campus Today’s Birthday (10/07/14) Growth and happiness intertwine with community, friends and family this year. Serve a vision for greatest reward. This month’s eclipses (10/8, 23) spark a new phase in partnership, and profitable possibilities.

Flexibility allows grace and velocity.

Apply yourself for financial benefit through 12/23, when a new phase in creativity and communication percolates.

Wear your dancing shoes.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 9. You’re distracted from work. Expect transformations today and tomorrow.

Wear your confidence with aplomb. Check to see if the orders have changed. Check your course, then full speed ahead. Suddenly you know. This could be comforting.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 9. The next two days are good for travel. Clean and organize. Don’t touch savings.

Chart your course, and get feedback from companions before spending. Rebellions could flare. Expect the unexpected, but don’t let it stop you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 9. Get into a twoday luxuriously lovely phase. You’re looking especially good. Public duties or even a confrontation could take from private time. Sense the tension around you, and defuse it with subtle touches. Play a fun game.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 9. Schedule carefully.

Something’s coming due. Over the next two days, clean up old messes. Creative insight fixes them secretly... you don’t need to take credit. Just make it happen. You can get through where a nervous friend can’t.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 9. Take on more responsibility. Publicize your efforts today and tomorrow.

Prayer and meditation are powerful tools. They can cool a chaotic moment. Weave inspiration and passion into a romantic spark. Get inspired by the competition.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 9. You’re good at solving problems. Get what you need delivered. Sink into a two-day homebody phase. Get fully into a household project. Review basic assumptions and reassess your view. Circumstances may not fit your expectation.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 9. A new moneymaking scheme occurs to you. Your friends are a big help over the next few days. Listen carefully. Together, you can move mountains. Don’t act in haste. Test the limits first.

Divvy the spoils.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 9. Partnership negotiations occur today and tomorrow. Recognize your own stubbornness, and let go some. Compromise.

Accept an idea from someone else. Get transparent with agendas. It’s possible for both parties to win. Work the situation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 9. Share feelings over the next two days. Unexpected costs could alter a plan. You’re exceptionally intelligent, and can find the perfect solution. Revolutionize your attitude. Re-assess your budget. Guard against waste, and shift methods or materials.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 9. Focus on your work today and tomorrow. It could get busy and even intense. Meetings conflict with family time. Put love into your efforts and team. Don’t get into a silly argument.

Provide excellence.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 9. Things could get lucrative today and tomorrow. Contemplate the costs before buying new stuff. With fierce competition, quality materials do matter. Compromise to fit the budget. Make sure more money comes in than goes out.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 9. Consider career advancement today and tomorrow. Plan every move before launching. Give thanks for willing hands. Stick with the basics. Insight illuminates your studies, and angels guide your actions. Avoid somebody else’s argument.

Prepare.
