Video released by Islamic State extremists, not authenticated | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT (AP) — Islamic State extremists released a video Tuesday purportedly showing the beheading of a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, and warning President Barack Obama that as long as U.S. airstrikes against the militant group continue, “our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.” The footage — depicting what the U.S. called a sickening act of brutality — was posted two Steven Sotloff weeks after the release of video The second showing the killing of James Fol- journalist ey and just days after Sotloff’s executed by mother pleaded for his life. IS extremists Barak Barfi, a spokesman for the family, said the Sotloffs had seen the video but that authorities have not established its authenticity. “The family knows of this horrific tragedy and is grieving privately. There will be no public comment from the family during this difficult time,” Barfi said. Sotloff, a 31-year-old Miami-area native who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, vanished in Syria in August 2013 and was not seen again until he appeared in a video released last month that showed Foley’s beheading.

Williams said they have completed some sexual assault training for employees before, but this program will be more inclusive and offer more information.

EBOLA TARGETS:
The Ebola virus outbreak is responsible for 1,552 deaths in Africa this year, spreading to more people in other parts of the world. The first appearance of the virus was in 1976 in West Africa, and the current outbreak is one of the largest. This deadly virus spreads from wild animals to humans through direct contact with blood and other body fluids. White blood cells, monocyte, dendritic and neutrophil are the most common targets for the Ebola virus. Once these cells become infected, the person’s symptoms become apparent after two to 21 days of infection.

In Saturday’s win over Colgate, Mann wasn’t asked to make a lot of big plays. He threw mostly quick slants and short passes to the flats, which was what he was asked to do. To Lembo and the coaching staff, the most important factor is that Mann stays consistent. For an offense to run effectively, coaches and players must know what to expect out of every position during each game, especially at quarterback. For Ball State to run an efficient offense, Lembo needs Mann to maintain the same style of play and production during both practice and games. The more the coaching staff knows what to expect from Mann, the most comfortable they’ll be.
A breakdown of football head coach Pete Lembo’s weekly press conference
DAVID’S EXPLANATION Injuries to a team are never good, but Ball State is in a position where it has depth at free safety. Last season, Hester was the starting safety until he went down, and Hurley took over. After Hester healed, he and Hurley rotated for the rest of the season. Because Hester has so much experience, there shouldn’t be much of a drop off in talent, if any, and he showed speed and athletic ability against Colgate. Lembo said there won’t be a change in the way defense is called while Hester is starting, and the extent of Hurley’s injury is still unknown.
Q: Ball State held Colgate to just 10 points without recording a sack or turnover. Do you think you’ll need to see more of those game-changing plays against Iowa?
« You want to see them every
week ... you’d like to see some sacks and get some turnovers. That’s something, at least in the turnover category, we had quite a bit last year. » DAVID’S EXPLANATION Ball State’s defense played well against Colgate, but didn’t make a lot of momentum-shifting plays. Colgate ran just 53 plays and Ball State forced eight punts, both impressive numbers by normal standards. Iowa brings a much more powerful offense, and Ball State shouldn’t be expected to hold their Big 10 opponent to either of those numbers. To contain the Iowa offense, Ball State will likely need to get pressure on quarterback Jake Rudock and make him uncomfortable enough to force turnovers. Those, in turn, would give Ball State a shorter field and allow the Cardinals offense more opportunities to score. Without those momentumshifting plays, beating Iowa becomes much more difficult.
NFL suspends Colts owner for 6 games Irsay pleads guilty to misdemeanor, receives penalty | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NOBLESVILLE, Indiana (AP) — The NFL suspended Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay for the first six games of the season and fined him $500,000 for violating its personal conduct policy, coming down hard on Tuesday just hours after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor stemming from an embarrassing March traffic stop. Commissioner Roger Goodell said Irsay was barred from team facilities, practices and games and cannot represent the Colts and NFL meetings or events. The fine was the maximum allowed under league rules. “I have stated on numerous occasions that owners, management personnel and coaches must be held to a higher standard than players,” Goodell told Irsay in a letter released publicly by the NFL. “We dis-
cussed this during our meeting and you expressed your support for that view, volunteering that owners should be held to the highest standard.” The 55-year-old Irsay pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated and acknowledged during his appearance before a Hamilton County judge that he was under the influence of the painkillers oxycodone and hydrocodone when he
was arrested on March 16 near his home in the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel. Irsay did not comment outside the courtroom, but he apologized to Colts fans in a prepared statement. “In retrospect, I now know that the incident opened my eyes to issues in my life that needed addressing and helped put me on the path to regain my health,” he said.

Musical tackles mental illness Rock production portrays life with bipolar disorder

Called “haunting and frightening,” Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical “Next to Normal” opens 7:30 p.m. Friday at Cave Theatre. Director and associate professor of theatre Elizabeth Turcotte said the story follows a family’s efforts to gain understanding about mental disease. Diana Goodman, the matriarch of the family, struggles with bipolar II disorder (bipolar disorder with delusional episodes, schizophrenia and manic depression). Karaline Feller, a senior acting major who plays Diana, said her character struggles with distinguishing what is real and what only seems real to her. “Diana is always striving for normalcy in her life. ‘Normal’ is a very fluid concept and there is no right way to live a perfect normal life,” Feller said. “Her life is full of frustration and mania with this ultimate desire for clarity that takes her years to get a grasp on.” Junior musical theatre major Lincoln Clauss plays Diana’s son, Gabe Goodman. “Gabe is the son every mother wants. He’s smart and charming, but a jokester at times too,” Clauss said. “While his mother is his best friend, over time he has grown apart from his father and sister. Ultimately, his big-

The latter represents the way the characters reveal certain information — ideas, pain, memories — in and out of their minds. She chose to depict the set this way to contrast the dramatic music and light elements, which will be used to provide a heightened experience for the audience. “Throughout the show, we experience Diana’s experience through her point of view,” Turcotte said. “Everything’s bigger than life with bright colors in Act I as we experience Diana’s mania, and in Act II everything slows down because of her medication.” One of the challenges performers experienced during preparing the show was the music, which Turcotte describes as “remarkable and extremely difficult.” Actors in this production also expressed how taxing playing their individual characters have been. “This role has been the most enriching and most difficult role I have played in my life,” Feller said. “This show is so near and dear to my heart, and Diana is such

Q. What is the cloud?
A. The cloud is a way of storing photos, documents, email and other data on computers located elsewhere, so you’re not using space on your computer, phone or other device. Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft all offer cloud-based storage. Smaller companies like Dropbox and Evernote do, too. The advantage is that you can access the same information from any device.

able the feature. Apple is urging its users to switch to stronger passwords and enable the two-step authentication feature in the aftermath of the celebrity hacking attacks.
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP) — The circulation of nude photographs stolen from celebrities’ online accounts has raised questions about the security of storing information over the Internet. Apple acknowledged Tuesday that computer hackers broke into the accounts of several celebrities, a security breakdown that Apple blamed on the intruders’ ability to figure out passwords and bypass other safeguards. Apple said it found no evidence of a widespread problem in iCloud or its Find my iPhone service. Instead, the affected celebrity accounts were targeted by hackers who had enough information like the usernames, passwords and answers to personal security questions designed to thwart unauthorized entries, according to Apple. Knowing this crucial information would enable an outsider to break into Apple accounts, including iCloud. The break-in has exposed weaknesses in online security at a time more and more people are storing photos and other sensitive information on computers housed in massive data centers, a practice known as cloud computing. So if celebrities’ information isn’t safe, then whose is? Here is a closer look at how secure data truly is when stored remotely on these services.

don’t lose your vacation pictures. The drawback is that you are putting your information somewhere else, so you run the risk of a hacking attack on those systems and accounts.
Q. Is it secure?
A. For the most part, yes. Companies invest a lot of time and effort in trying to ensure that people’s private information stays private. “The short answer is the cloud is often more secure than other storage,” said Rich Mogull, CEO of security research and advisory firm Securosis. But that doesn’t mean it is completely immune to hackers. “Like a lot of internet services, there are a lot of attackers who have a lot of time,” Mogull said.
Q. How can individuals make their data more secure?
A. You need passwords to access your accounts, so choosing a strong one is important. Tim Bajarin, an analyst at technology research firm Creative Strategies, recommends having
different passwords for each account you hold online, so a breach in one system won’t compromise another. It is also important to have a number and punctuation mark in each password, or a creative spelling of a word to make it harder to guess. Also, avoid using common words or notable birthdays as passwords. A strong password is particularly important if you store sensitive information online. Another way to make your information harder to hack is called multi-factor, or two-step, identification. That means the first time you log onto an account from a new device, you are asked for a second form of identification. Usually, that involves getting sent a code as a text on your phone or an email. A hacker who has your password would still need physical possession of your phone to get the text. Most major cloud services, including Apple’s iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox, offer this kind of protection. Amazon’s Cloud Drive is the notable exception - but you usually have to en-
A. You had to have signed up and agreed to the cloud services’ terms of services, but that might have happened long ago, as you were setting up your device. If you are not sure if you have opted in, check your phone’s settings. With iPhone photos, for instance, if you have Photo Stream turned on, that means you are storing your photos on iCloud. Check your settings under iCloud. On Android phones, check the Auto Backup settings under Google+ in Google Settings.
Q. Is my financial information at risk?
A. Yes, if you use the same password for online banking that you do for other sites, and if you don’t have multifactor identification on your banking website. But generally, financial information is among the most protected online. Information is encrypted, or scrambled, in transit. You can tell if a site does that if you see “https” rather than “http” before the website address.
Q. Will my photos and other information remain on the cloud even after I delete them?
A. They should not. Settings vary for different cloud services, but most of them delete information from the cloud when you delete something from your phone or computer, at least once the device has had a chance to sync with the online service. You can check online, however. All the cloud storage providers have websites you can sign into to check out what information is being stored.

Ebola virus spreads World struggles to fight disease as treatments dwindle | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The international group Doctors Without Borders warned Tuesday “the world is losing the battle against Ebola” and lamented that treatment centers in West Africa have been “reduced to places where people go to die alone.” In separate remarks after a United Nations meeting on the crisis, the World Health Organization chief said everyone involved had underestimated the outbreak, which has now killed more than 1,500 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. U.N. officials implored governments worldwide to send medical workers and material contributions. Doctors Without Borders, which has treated more than 1,000 Ebola patients in West Africa since March, is completely overwhelmed by the disease, said Joanne Liu, the organization’s president. She called on other countries to contribute civilian and military medical personnel familiar with biological disasters. “Six months into the worst Ebola epidemic in history, the world is losing the battle to contain it,” Liu said at a U.N. forum on the outbreak. “Ebola treatment centers are reduced to places where people go to die alone, where little more than palliative care is offered.” In Sierra Leone, she said, infectious bodies are rotting in the streets. Liberia had to build a new crematorium instead of new Ebola care centers.
President Barack Obama urged West Africans on Tuesday to wear gloves and masks when caring for Ebola patients or burying anyone who died of the disease. He discouraged the burial practice of directly touching the body of Ebola victims, which is one way the disease has been spreading. “You can respect your traditions and honor your loved ones without risking the lives of the living,” Obama said in the brief video message. Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the situation is now the world’s first Ebola epidemic, given how widely it’s spreading. The latest missionary to come down with the disease, a male obstetrician, was not immediately identified by the group Serving In Mission. The group did not specify how he contracted the disease, but it can be spread through vaginal fluids. He did not work in an Ebola ward. Last month, two Americans, including one from the same missionary group, were evacuated to the United States for treatment after contracting Ebola in Liberia. The two recovered after receiving an experimental drug known as ZMapp. The manufacturer said it has run out of supplies of the drug and it will take months to produce more. U.S. health officials on Tuesday announced a $24.9 million, 18-month contract with Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. to speed development of ZMapp. As part of the project, Mapp is to make a small amount of the drug for early-stage safety testing, while working with the Department of Health and Human Services to accelerate
EBOLA FACTS • Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. • EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90 percent. • EVD outbreaks occur primarily in remote villages in Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests. • The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-tohuman transmission. • Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are considered to be the natural host of the Ebola virus. • Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. No licensed specific treatment or vaccine is available for use in people or animals.

the manufacturing process. The outbreak has taken a particularly high toll on health care workers, and nurses in Liberia and Sierra Leone have repeatedly gone on strike to demand hazard pay and better protective gear. Authorities have cordoned off entire towns in an effort to halt the virus’ spread. Surrounding countries have closed land borders, and airlines have suspended flights to and from the affected countries. Seaports are losing traffic, restricting food imports to the hardest-hit countries. “Even prior to the Ebola outbreak, households in some of the affected areas were spending up to 80 percent of their incomes on food,” said Vincent Martin, who is coordinating the food agency’s response to the crisis. “Now these latest price spikes are effectively putting food completely out of their reach.”
FRATERNITY WINS INTERNATIONAL AWARD
FAMOUS FIJIS
Out of more than 130 chapters, a Ball State fraternity received several first-place, international awards this year. Phi Gamma Delta, more commonly referred to as FIJI, won the Cheney Cup as the fraternity’s most outstanding undergraduate chapter and the Brightman Trophy for best graduate relations. The national Phi Gamma Delta organization gives the awards. “We’ve only been a chapter for about 14 years, so it’s a very exciting experience since it’s the first time we’ve ever won it,” said Jake Cash, president of the Ball State FIJI chapter. The fraternity knew it was making its way up the ranks since it had been an honorable mention the previous year, Cash said. The Ball State Chapter also came in third place in the Zerman Trophy for “Best Campus Involvement.” In addition to winning the Cheney Cup, a couple specific members were mentioned at the convention. Michael Ashman, a local optometrist and Ball State alumnus, placed first in “Best Graduate Adviser.” The 2013-2014 chapter president of FIJI, Seth Ratkus, won the Wilkinson Award, which is given to the best graduating senior. The results are from the 2013-2014 biennial Ekklesia convention that The Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta, FIJI’s national organization, hosted in Indianapolis. “To win in our home state was a very special event to us,” Cash said. “That’s the first time we’ve had that meeting in Indiana in 30 years.”

TRAINING: Classes to create safer, secure environment for students on campus | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The program started with new employees in August, as required by the Campus SaVE Act. Williams said after all new employees go through the training, almost 4,500 people will take it over the span of two years. All faculty members will go through training by July 2016. “We are pleased that we have the support of the board of trustees, who will be going through the training too,” Williams said. “This helps us ensure that we’re always working to make sure everyone receives information and is working toward the same goal to have a safe campus for all.” The training will take an estimated 19 minutes to complete, but is self-paced, so employees can work through it at the speed they choose. Advisers, teachers and mentors might be some of the most trusted adults students know, and they are often the ones students will
SEXUAL ASSAULT
confide in after an assault, according to the American Association of University Professors. Faculty members also might be the first adults to notice a change in behavior after an assault, and they can encourage the student to talk to someone about it. Faculty could then be considered the first responders, but few faculty members think they are educated enough to fit the part for that role, according to the American Association of University Professors. Allison Wynbissinger, victim advocate, said some benefits of employees being trained are that they will be better equipped to handle the dynamics of sexual assault, and their response to students who have been assaulted may be better. “If they have no knowledge or experience about sexual assault ... they might have ideas in their head from what they’ve seen,” Wynbissinger said. “If someone comes to them and is reacting differently than what they thought, it might be
re-victimizing if they’re questioning the student or doubting them or blaming them for how it happened.” She said if employees are unaware of how to approach the topic, they might end up asking questions like “were you drinking?” or “what were you wearing?” and further victimize the student. Wynbissinger said if students are unaware of resources they have, like the counseling center or a victim advocate, employees would be able to refer them to those resources if they can’t give the student the help they need. New students had to take a similar course before they came to campus in August, and Katie Slabaugh, Title IX coordinator for the university, said they had positive responses from it. “[Students] said ... they learned a lot and that this had real-life, real-time college student themes woven into it,” Slabaugh said. “It was an engaging exercise for them, and they said they learned a lot.”
