Theft of laptops increases By Kaitlin.York iowastatedaily.com With the football team’s recent success and the warm weather coming to an end, the past few weeks have been indicated as the “prime party season,” said Cmdr. Mike Brennan of the Ames Police Department. An ongoing problem in Ames is the high number of laptops that have been reported stolen. “Whether you’re having a big or a small party at your house or apartment, it is a good idea to keep mental notes of who is there that you are unfamiliar with or where your valuables are,” Brennan said. Many newer-edition laptops have a built-in anti-theft software. Individuals can check online if a computer has it provided. If not, one can purchase the software. Anti-theft software has many benefits. It can help locate your laptop if it’s stolen, it will disable data access if your hard drive is replaced, removed or reformatted, and a password can be set up to recover your undamaged data.

Battle of the Brains

Contest tests student skills By Frances.Myers iowastatedaily.com

A select group of students used last weekend to put their intelligence to the test in a Battle of the Brains. In this contest, the Association for Computing Machinery International Collegiate Programming Contest challenges teams of three to use their programming skills and rely on mental endurance to solve complex, real-world problems under a grueling five-hour deadline. Six ISU teams traveled to Lincoln, Neb., for the Battle of the Brains regional competition. Out of all the teams in the world competing, the top 100 finalist teams will earn the chance to travel to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, to compete for awards and prizes. The people competing on these teams represent universities from six continents. Simanta Mitra, senior lecturer of computer science, is the coach for ISU’s competing teams. He became the coach when he became an adviser of the ISU Computer Science and Software Engineering Club about eight years ago. “This is a great competition for the students,” Mitra said. “It takes all the information a student would have learned in a whole semester and challenges them for all of their knowledge and skills in one afternoon. Many times we will have the very best students, and they get great experience out of doing this.”

The regional contest began at 12:30 p.m. with teams huddled around tables and one laptop, trying to figure out a booklet of 8 to 10 programming problems. Once a team thought it solved the problems, it would submit the problems to the panel of judges. Judges quickly went through the problems and let the students know if they were right or wrong. If the problems were wrong, students were to go back to the table and figure out the problem again. This process continued until the judges deemed the problems to be correct. Points were totaled based on timing and how many attempts it took the team to get the problems correct. In order to prepare for competition, student-led practice sessions are conducted. Seniors and juniors will often lead these sessions and teach the younger students what types of programming problems will be given to them. They also advise on what strategies work best, and some students will even go online to practice more problems. Gloria Cain, adviser of computer science, has accompanied the teams in the past. “I remember there was a senior in the front seat, and he was just giving out problems upon problems to the students sitting in the back,” Cain said. “They all had their laptops out and were doing the problems together, and it was great because this was how they got to know each other. They became friends and became a team.”

By Nyajuok.Deng iowastatedaily.com After a year and a half of research, a team led by Mei Hong discovered the proton structure the flu virus uses to infect cells. The virus uses a shuttle mechanism to relay protons through a channel in a process necessary for the virus to infect a cell. Hong, professor of chemistry and associate of the Ames Laboratory, led the team, which used solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to find the structure and workings of the proton channel that connects the flu virus to a healthy cell. “This helps us understand the virus and how it functions,” said Fanghao Hu, graduate student in chemistry, who was part of the research team.

Gary Mirka has been named the associate dean of the College of Engineering for undergraduate and graduate education. “I will be responsible for coordinating educational activities in the College of Engineering,” Mirka said. “I’ll also be working with other colleges at Iowa State.” The selection was made through an interview process led by Balaji Narasimhan, associate dean of research, and included an interview by a search committee. Recommendations from the interviews were passed along to Dean of Engineering Jonathan Wickert. “We collected evaluations from everybody who participated in the interview process,” Narasimhan said. “The search committee had its own evaluation. Our job was to summarize that information and present it to the dean.”

RV business shows signs of rebound By Jim Offner The Associated Press FOREST CITY — Two years ago, the recreationalvehicle industry was torpedoed by $5-a-gallon fuel prices and a tanking national economy. Now, the industry appears to be climbing back toward proďŹ tability, according to Cedar Valley dealers and Forest City-based Winnebago Industries Inc. Sales have risen at Cedar Falls-based Ace Fogdall Inc, said Sara Miller, the dealership’s manager. “RV sales are up quite signiďŹ cantly over the last couple of years,â€? she said. Fuel prices near the $3 level haven’t had much effect, Miller said, but she added that other factors played a role in the slump a couple of years back. “It really was a factor at the start of the ďŹ nancial crisis and also when we had the ooding and tornadoes, so it’s hard to determine what the singular impact of what fuel prices were,â€? she said. Things also are looking up at Paine’s RV Sales and Service in Waterloo and Evansdale, said Jeff Paine, vice president. “Everything is optimistic; people are looking,â€? he said. “We’re getting a lot of interest shown, a lot of entry-level and mid-lines in towables.â€? Tighter credit remains a potential hurdle, Paine noted. “Financing is not quite back to where it used to be,â€? he

said. “They’ve got to have more equity in their unit to purchase it.â€? Jasper’s RV in Hazleton is still looking for an upturn in sales, said Dan Jasper, owner. “I guess we’ve about the same since the downturn,â€? Jasper said. “The last three years have been exactly the same, within one or two units every year, so sales have been at.â€? The recession and its ancillary effects likely have been the chief culprits, he said. “It’s the economic conditions, people holding onto their money, paying down debt,â€? he said. There are numbers that would indicate the industry still has some rough times to endure, not the least of which is a national unemployment rate persistently near 10 percent. Winnebago, in a sense, was in the center of the 2008 downturn, as might be expected of the largest manufacturer of motor homes in the U.S. Winnebago laid off nearly half of its 4,000 employees and shuttered one of its operations in Charles City. “We pretty much hit rock bottom in 2009,â€? company spokeswoman Sheila Davis said. “At our highest point, we had about 4,200 employees, and we were down to about 1,600.â€? Winnebago stock fell as low as $3.23 March 6, 2009. In the year and a half since, however, the price has climbed at a fairly steady clip, reach $17.30 April 29, 2010. The price has faded somewhat, since then

but has hung in the $10 level on a consistent basis since the summer. In mid-October, the company reported a fourth-quarter proďŹ t that exceeded analyst expectations and fueled a 9 percent surge in company shares. Winnebago reported a proďŹ t of $4.9 million, or 17 cents a share, in the quarter that ended Aug. 28. A year earlier, it lost $50.2 million, or $1.73 a share. Analysts had been projecting EPS of just 5 cents a share. Sales were up 107.1 percent, to $123.1 million. “Increased motor home delivery volume continues to be a driving force behind our improved results, however, we remain cautious until we see continued retail growth,â€? CEO Bob Olson said in a news release. Winnebago said dealer inventory jumped 20.7 percent and demand has remained at a “consistent levelâ€? since its second quarter.

DECORAH — A major technology upgrade for the popular Decorah Bald Eagle Camera will ensure continued enjoyment for the 325,000 people who peeked and eavesdropped this year on the domestic life of an eagle family. New cameras and microphones, coupled with a more powerful host computer system, will provide larger images and clearer sound available to more people at once, according to Bob Anderson of rural Bluffton, director of the sponsoring Raptor Resource Project. “I’m so happy and please. With the camera’s zoom feature, you will be able to watch the parents roll the eggs and see them crack before hatching,� he said. Luther College has hosted the site on its computer system, but heavy usage maxed out the bandwidth, causing service disruptions, Anderson said. The new host computer will provide uninterrupted service, he said. Anderson and three other raptor experts recently installed the new equipment above an eagle nest 80 feet up a tree overlooking the Decorah Fish Hatchery. “There is only a brief window to make changes, and it happens in late fall when the eagles’ use of the nest is at a seasonal low,� Anderson said. Anderson used a crossbow to shoot power and transmission cords into the nest, where Dave Kester of Decorah, Emmy-winning cinematographer Neil Rettig of Prairie du Chien, Wis., and project webmaster Amy Ries of North Branch, Minn., completed the installation. Anderson, who incurred several thousand dollars in debt to pay for the upgrade, said he hopes nest viewers will help defray the cost. “I couldn’t not do it af-

During this year’s nesting season, the site recorded more than 325,000 unique visitors from 125 countries, and nearly 3.9 million site visits as viewers logged in repeatedly to check the progress of the three chicks hatched there in early April. Another 53,000 unique visitors accessed the nest cam through a site operated by Xcel Energy.

Editorial

Enjoy extra hour after ‘falling back’ Sunday morning If you’ve ever found yourself wishing for extra hours in the day, Saturday night provided such an opportunity. Thanks to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the first Sunday of November marks the end of daylight-saving time until the second Sunday of March in the following year. We were surprised to find out there’s a fair amount of controversy on the topic. Hawaii, Arizona, Japan, Brazil and even Kazakhstan are among the governments who have never recognized or repealed recognition of DST. Some cite health concerns, with studies showing an increased incidence of health complications associated with the hour lost in March. Others point out the boon to outdoor, retail, sports and leisure activities. There’s even evidence to suggest a reduction in traffic fatalities, thanks to the daylight rushhour traffic is afforded under the practice. Keeping time is tricky business. Daylight hours vary geographically thanks to the tilt of the earth’s axis during the seasons. People living at or near the equator don’t notice a discernible difference throughout the year, whereas the folks in Barrow, Alaska — the northernmost town in America — enjoy up to 12 weeks of sunlight. Standardized time didn’t exist in our country until railway and communication advancements necessitated its implementation. In fact, a 1909 bill to introduce daylightsaving time to the U.S. died in committee. It was Germany who incorporated DST in 1916 during WWI as a means to alleviate coal shortages. The United States followed suit, integrating it in 1918. Oddly enough, Congress voted to repeal DST in 1919. Woodrow Wilson, an avid golfer, vetoed this measure — twice — and was overridden the second time. To complicate matters, Wilson’s presidential successor, Warren G. Harding, opposed DST, calling it a “deception.” The Harding solution to taking advantage of longer summer days was “wake up earlier.” Why all of the controversy? Well, different people use sunlight for different things. It’s a popular misconception that DST is a “farmer thing” — the sun doesn’t dry morning dew any faster just because there’s an extra hour of sunlight at night. The effects of “spring ahead” wreak havoc on circadian rhythms — your “biological clock” — so much that a 2008 study showed a significant increase in male suicide rates after the spring transition. Sunlight also plays a key factor in seasonal affective disorder, and it’s thought that the abrupt transition into and out of DST doesn’t do the afflicted any favors. There’s been talk of a tiered or variable transition to lessen the detrimental effects of DST, a notion that hasn’t garnered much support due to the complications its incorporation could have on travel, media broadcasts and billing systems. Given that most of us spaced off “falling back,” coupled with Apple’s recent headache over the iPhone OS failing to adjust user alarms to the new times, it’s no stretch to think that an incremental segue into DST sounds better on paper than in practice. Regardless, we sincerely hope you enjoyed the extra hour. Some of us took advantage of the opportunity to spend more quality time at our favorite local drinking establishments, while others were more than happy to catch up on some much-needed sleep. We’re always happy to “fall back.” It’s the “springing ahead” we’re not particularly fond of.

What would governmentcontrolled media look like? By Brandon. Blue iowastatedaily.com

Columnist’s note:

This article is in response to a story on FoxNews.com, “NPR Executive Shiller Active in Crafting New Journalism Roadmap,” and to the general notion of any government controlling the media. Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, right?

A

h. I take it you’re the newest addition to our newsroom? Wonderful. Things may have changed a little since you were in school. All of our funding at the Daily Truth now comes from government subsidies, rather than advertising. Here, advertising is referred to as an “inefficient method.” Now we can fill our paper with stories, and there’s no need to cut any of them for ads. The Daily Truth is a newspaper that serves the greater metro area and has a readership of 300,000. Since our government subsidies, that number has not wavered. Our motto is “Reporters of the world, unite!” I think it’s pretty original, don’t you? I’m your boss. My title is News Chief. My boss works with the Federal Department of Journalism and his title is Chief of News. His boss works with the U.S. Senate Committee on Mass Communication,

and his title is Chief of News Chiefs. They send us ideas brought up in committee for coverage after both of them have signed and stamped the document. The House Chief of News, who serves the House of Representatives, is responsible for all of our jobs and reminds Congress periodically of the First Amendment. She’s only twenty-six heartbeats from the presidency at any one time. The paper I’m handing you is called a directive. It is the information that the two committees give us on the stories they want covered. There are “suggested sources,” “suggested viewpoints,” “suggested length” and “suggested vocabulary.” The word “suggested” is really a formality. If you do not include an interview with each of the listed sources, or if one of your sources is not on the list, the story will not run. The government does not appreciate reporters whose stories do not run. If the viewpoint you present deviates from what is indicated on the directive, or if you present an alternate viewpoint from the “suggested viewpoint section” of your directive, your story will not run. If your story exceeds 799 words or falls below that number, the story will not run. It must fit on a single page in the Truth, and if it doesn’t fit, the story will not run. If your story’s vocabulary includes any rhetoric deemed extreme by the House Chief of News, or if you fail to include all of the words under “suggested vocabulary,” your story will not run. You will have one day to complete your directive. If you fail to complete it in that time, your story will not

run. This garbage can is for any letters to the editor that we receive. It is incinerated daily. If you get a letter from a reader, you are legally obliged to throw it into this bin. If we find that you have not thrown a letter in this garbage can, your stories will not run. The pencils are here, on this table. Every reporter gets one pencil. Government studies show that reporters can write 179,426 words with a single pencil. If you write more or less than that amount, your stories will not run. Every reporter gets one notepad. Government studies show that notepads can hold 180,000 words. If you need a new one but have not written that amount, your stories will not run. Our Selectric is in the back room, there. Every reporter receives 23 minutes of typing time per day. In this time you must type a final draft of your story and turn it in to me. If you do not, your story will not run. Weekly your stories are cross-referenced with each other. In addition to checks made against your individual directives, we examine the similarities between the works themselves. Government studies show that people are most comfortable reading things written in a familiar way. So, if you begin to develop a voice or writing style that is unique, your stories will not run. Remember, you are a member of the press now. The First Amendment guarantees your freedoms as a reporter. Treasure that First Amendment, and stick to the directives. You’re going to go far, kiddo. I can tell.

Consumers

Don’t fall short on the tips Service workers rely on gratuity By Cameron. Leehey iowastatedaily.com

T

he concept of tip-based wages is perfectly sound. As a waiter, the more you can sell a customer, and therefore benefit your employer, the more you stand to make for yourself. As a delivery driver, the faster you can accomplish your tasks, and therefore contribute to efficiency, the greater volume of tips you stand to pull in. And, theoretically, any performance above the expectations of the customer will be rewarded in gratuity. Shoddy employees are quickly weeded out, good ones earn from the sweat of their brow, the tertiary sector of the economy functions smoothly, and everybody is happy. All of this, of course, is predicated upon the presumption that consumers understand the tip is part of the expense for services rendered. Our legislators are clearly operating under such a presumption; why else would the minimum wage for tip-earners in Iowa be set at $4.35 per hour when everybody else is set at $7.25 per hour? Yes, tip-based wages are for the real go-getters, the hard workers and the sturdy self-starters — the kind of people with the stones to see their work ethic directly monetized. In Western Europe, and nonAmerican cultures generally,

Tip-earners in Iowa are set at $4.35 per hour for minimum wage, significantly lower than the $7.25 standard for non-tip-earners. Columnist Leehey reminds us it is the responsibility of the consumer to make up this disparity, even though the amount is ultimately up to them. Photo courtesy: Thinkstock

tip amounts are not left to the discretion of the consumer; they are automatically factored into the bill. That is to say, the prices on the menu include a percentage that is paid to the server in lieu of a tip. In Germany, for example, you would swipe your credit card, pay the number printed on the receipt, sign your name and be on your merry way. But you are not in Berlin. So when the waiter or delivery person slides you that receipt that says “Merchant Copy,” and you draw a line through the space marked “Tip,” you have just shirked paying for part of the expense of your luxury. A few years ago, I worked as a delivery driver in Iowa City,

and I was delivering a $10 pizza to a dormitory. I arrived in less than the quoted delivery time with a delicious, hot pepperoni pizza and met the customer on the steps of her building. As we exchanged money for goods, she smiled and politely said, “Sorry, I can’t tip you, I only had enough money for the pizza,” and then handed me exact change. As she said that, I thought, “No problem, I’ll just pay my rent with your good intentions.” I couldn’t say it then, but I can say it now: If you can’t afford the tip, you can’t afford the product. The fact you are prompted to pay someone a tip means you are purchasing a luxury item. It falls upon you, the con-

sumer, to behave like a decent person and pay the full cost of what you bought. I’m not asking that you be charitable; as you recall, the government is counting on you to offset that extra-low wage your waiter is making. They expect you to conform with an obvious societal norm and pay the additional 15 percent. You certainly don’t have to, though. You won’t be kicked out of the bar or blacklisted by your favorite pizza joint for tipshirking, but you will be leeching off the labor of a member of your community; and having read this far, you will be doing so consciously. Keep this in mind the next time you’re filling out a receipt.

It was like the air being let out of a large balloon. As fans stayed in their seats at Jack Trice Stadium, the Nebraska Cornhuskers rushed the field in jubilation, winners of the 105th matchup between Iowa State and Nebraska. “In shock,” said ISU quarterback Austen Arnaud after the game. “You play so hard for 60plus minutes. You always expect to win. People are in the [locker room] shocked.” ISU coach Paul Rhoads made the call after the Cyclones scored a touchdown in their series of overtime to run a fake and try to win the game on a two-point conversion. It didn’t work. “I made the decision to go for the two-point play. I’d studied what they’d done throughout the game. It was there,” Rhoads said. “I asked [the players] to do two things today. I asked them to give it up, give every ounce of energy and effort that they could give. And they did exactly that. “And I asked them to execute. And for 60 minutes-plus, we executed about as well as we could against the No. 9-ranked team in the country to give ourselves an opportunity to win the football game.” After scoring a touchdown on the second series of the overtime, the Cyclones lined up for an extra-point kick that would have sent the game into another overtime. Instead, holder Daniel Kuehl picked up the snap to pass and threw an interception that ended the ball game and left fans in cardinal and gold stunned. “I’ve got all the confidence in the world in

coach Rhoads, and he has all the confidence in us,” Arnaud said. “If anyone wants to object to that play call they can, but it’s not going to help any. We’re good and we all trust coach Rhoads.” The Cyclones (5-5, 3-3 Big 12) were down 24-10 in the fourth quarter against a run-heavy Cornhusker team, and battled back with two quick touchdowns and tough defense. Arnaud, who had come back from being hurt in the first half, took a knee to run the clock out at the end of the fourth quarter. It was 1 2 a controversial decision, as the Nebraska 0 7 Cyclones didn’t want to make a Iowa State 0 10 mistake in attempting to get more than 40 yards into the wind in 40 seconds. “With that far to travel, against one of the nation’s top defenses that had already scored a defensive touchdown, there was too much to risk,” Rhoads said. “At that point, our kids didn’t deserve to not have the opportunity to go to overtime. I had no hesitation on that.” Once the teams got to overtime, Nebraska wasted no time getting running back Rex Burkhead into the end zone. Starting at the 25yard line going into the wind, the Husker running back who finished with 129 yards and two touchdowns punched it in. Arnaud found receiver Jake Williams for his second touchdown in the Cyclones’ time for possession. After the touchdown, Iowa State lined up and went for the trick play that failed.

“We wanted to win, it just didn’t turn out that way,” said linebacker A.J. Klein. “As far as the call goes, it’s toss-up. It’s a tough call for [Rhoads]. We just have to be behind him with the decision. It was a good decision.” After last year’s stunner that Iowa State won against the Cornhuskers in Nebraska, this game got plenty of national attention, including an ABC nationwide broadcast. While the media opportunity may put the Cyclones into the spotlight, the loss doesn’t sit well with the 3 4 OT final team. “It’s very 17 0 7 31 emotional, this 0 14 6 30 program has no interest in moral victories,” Arnaud said, fighting through emotions after the game. “We come out every Saturday expecting to win, and today we didn’t. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but we’ve got to move on.” Rhoads was fighting the same emotions after the game, upset that the execution of one play led to the loss after more than 60 minutes of football in front of 51,159 fans. “I’ve got no problem with a grown man crying,” Rhoads said. “I’ve got a lot of grown men crying.” The wind played a large factor in the game, heading north at an estimated 15 miles per hour. With the wind in their faces, the Cyclones failed to produce any points until overtime. With the wind at its back, the team scored 24 of its final 30, including a 57-yard field goal from kicker Grant

By Jake.Lovett iowastatedaily.com The hurt was evident on Jake Williams’ face. The senior was quiet, not knowing what to say after the loss, a game in which he had two touchdowns, including a pivotal score in overtime. Tight end Collin Franklin — the would-be receiver on the botched two-point try at the end of overtime — struggled to describe the scene in the locker room following the Cyclones’ 31-30 loss to Nebraska. Quarterback Austen Arnaud stopped mid-sentence to collect himself on multiple occasions, fighting back tears, after losing in one of his best games as a Cyclone. Even Paul Rhoads’ voice wavered while he talked about his team’s performance and defending one of his most controversial play calls as the Cyclones’ coach. “This is definitely a tough one,” Williams said. It was tough, because Williams had a career-high two touchdowns, because Franklin was open in the end zone on the two-point try, and because it took a 14-point fourth quarter comeback to even send the game to overtime. Williams’ 9-yard score in overtime gave the Cyclones the chance. Instead of playing for the tie, Rhoads made the call to go for the win. The kick team lined up, but holder Daniel Kuehl went for a pass instead. The ball never made it to Franklin in the end zone and the game was over. The Cyclones were one point short. “That’s a tough way to end the game like that, after a hard-fought battle throughout,” Williams said. Franklin figured to be the hero if Kuehl’s pass had gotten to him in the

We’ve known all season long that we can match up with anybody; we’ve just got to show up, and we’ve got to execute. We have a lot to be proud of, but, at the same time, we all wanted that one. It’s tough.” ISU tight end Collin Franklin

end zone. He said the team was proud of the performance, but it stings to come up short, especially against the ninth-ranked team in the country. “Oh man ... we’re hurt. We’re hurting,” Franklin said. “It’s tough to lose like that.” Rhoads’ emotion following the game mirrored his team’s. He said his team played well and executed for 60-plus minutes, but couldn’t make some of the necessary plays to come away with the win, leaving the team drained physically and emotionally. “We had chances to win this football game, and we did not capitalize when we did,” Rhoads said.

“I can escort you back to the locker room and show you how much it hurts.” The Cyclones outplayed the Cornhuskers in nearly every aspect of the game — excluding the third quarter, in which Nebraska scored 17 unanswered points to take a 2410 lead. The ISU offense outgained Nebraska 360-314, many of those yards coming in the second and fourth quarters when the wind — estimated at 15 miles per hour — was at Arnaud’s back. The ISU defense often bent but rarely broke, allowing the Cornhusker offense into the end zone just twice in regulation.

Iowa State committed three fewer penalties, only had to punt three times and gained nine more first downs. “We’ve known all season long that we can match up with anybody; we’ve just got to show up and we’ve got to execute,” Franklin said. “We have a lot to be proud of, but at the same time, we all wanted that one. It’s tough.” Arnaud’s performance — completing 21 of his 32 pass attempts for 203 yards and three touchdowns, and running 13 times for 63 yards and a touchdown — prompted his coach to call it his best game in three years as a Cyclone.

Sports briefs Wrestling squad earns pair of upsets to begin season By Blake.Schultz iowastatedaily.com A season after placing third at the NCAA tournament, the young Cyclones traveled to Salem, Va., ranked 30th, and upset No. 26 Virginia Tech and No. 14 Kent State. The Cyclones started off in a deep hole against Virginia Tech, down 10-0. Iowa State’s Chris Drouin got the ball rolling, getting a 2-1 decision over Virginia Tech’s Chris Diaz at 141. ISU senior Nate Carr Jr. followed Drouin’s performance with a 6-4 decision. The big turning point in the match came two weights later when Iowa State’s Andrew Sorenson earned a 13-3 major decision and brought the Cyclones within three of Virginia Tech. Jon Reader followed Sorenson with a major decision of his own and gave the Cyclones a 14-13 lead. Iowa State went on to win 17-16. Immediately after, Iowa State faced off with Kent State in another dual. After eight matches, the Cyclones had a 23-12 lead over the Golden Flashes. Iowa State went on to drop the final two matches, but Kent State couldn’t come final back, and Iowa State pulled off Iowa State 17 another upset 23-19.

Tennis team faces rough road at Super Challenge

By Jake.Lovett iowastatedaily.com

By Darrin.Cline iowastatedaily.com Battling some of the Midwest’s top teams and the cool November chill, the ISU tennis team came home from the Western Michigan University Super Challenge with a handful of strong individual performances. Iowa State began the weekend against the premier squad of the meet, Indiana University. Despite falling in two of three doubles matches as a team, the duo of Erin Karonis and Liza Wischer edged out an 8-5 victory. Continuing on in doubles play, the women faced off against the combined squad of Louisville and Wisconsin in the second round. The team of Tessa Lang and Maria Fernanda Macedo put on a display of dominance, coming away with an 8-1 win. In their final doubles round of the Challenge, the Cyclones pulled off the upset, topping DePaul in two of three matches. The teams of Macedo and Lang and Chartier and Wischer guided Iowa State with impressive victories. Despite the rough losses, the ISU women came away from the weekend with an optimistic approach. Many of the losses were tight matches against quality competition that give the team a solid foundation for its winter training.

Hockey earns sweep over Kent State Golden Flashes By Sara.Schlueter iowastatedaily.com This weekend, the Iowa State Cyclones swept the Kent State Golden Flashes, with a 5-3 win Friday night followed by a 6-1 win on Saturday. The Cyclones got out of the gates in a hurry during Friday night’s game, as Derek Kohles scored his first goal of the season. Another first-period goal and Iowa State gained a lead it wouldn’t relinquish. Cyclone goalie Erik Hudson was able to block 31 of Kent State’s 34 shots Friday. Saturday, the Cyclones were up 3-0 before Kent State could light the lamp. Iowa State killed three third-period penalties and fired 48 shots on Golden Flash goalie Anthony Natoli. No. 16 Kent State is on a six-game losing streak, and while the No. 13 Cyclones were skidding until a split series last week, this road sweep helps their chances in the standings. The sweep makes the Cyclones 7-9-0 on the season. Iowa State plays host to Indiana on Friday and Saturday, with a doubleheader Friday. 1

Not surprisingly, it was the newcomers that stole the show in Iowa State’s 100-50 exhibition win over Dubuque on Friday. A new coach in his first game and six bodies on the floor that had never been a part of an ISU game were more than enough to push the Cyclones over the top. “To be honest with you, I hadn’t slept much the past two days, I was nervous,” said former ISU basketball star Fred Hoiberg after winning his first game as the Cyclone mentor. “It was very emotional coming out there the first time as a coach.” Hoiberg described the team as “pumped up” for its first action inside Hilton Coliseum.

team’s play reflected its excitement, as it jumped out to a 57-19 lead in the first half. Jake Anderson, a transfer from Northern Illinois, led the way for the Cyclones in the first frame, going for 10 points Anderson and seven rebounds. “The confidence that Coach builds helps us to be aggressive,” Anderson said.

Anderson finished with a double-double, 17 points and 10 rebounds, despite playing in only 23 minutes. The senior from Chicago spent much of the game with the ball in his hands, but also made several hustle plays, keeping plays alive with offensive rebounds or diving after loose balls. “On a team that probably needs some toughness, he definitely brought that,” Hoiberg said. “He’s not afraid to jump on a guy if he’s not giving effort or he’s not playing hard.” The guard arrived in Ames and began working out with the team in June and will be expected to help Diante Garrett carry the load as the season moves along. In his final season at Northern Illinois, Anderson averaged 10.6 points and six rebounds per game.

Iowa State displays coach’s high-speed tempo in 2010-11 season’s exhibition opener By Chris.Cuellar iowastatedaily.com It might not always be pretty, but the Cyclones will play fast. ISU coach Fred Hoiberg saw 17 turnovers and just 47.9 percent shooting in the Cyclones’ exhibition game with Dubuque on Friday, but he also saw 100 points out of a team with nine available players, six of whom had never played for Iowa State. Hoiberg wanted quick-paced Cyclone basketball, and his team delivered in its first game at home. “The guys really did a great job early setting the tone, getting

out and running the floor, which is what we’ve been working on and stressing,” Hoiberg said. The playerHoiberg turned-coach was in front of the Hilton Coliseum crowd leading the huddle for the first time, but there weren’t many plays drawn up for the young team Friday night. Over-matched Division III team aside, Hoiberg is intent on letting the team run loose. “We didn’t run a ton of stuff, just got the ball in our playmakers’

hands,” Hoiberg said. “I told them in the locker room, ‘Guys, I don’t want to run many plays tonight, let’s just get the ball up the floor,’ and we’ll have games like that. We’ll just spread the floor out and create driving angles and let our guys go for it.” Seven ISU players hit doubledigit scoring against Dubuque, a balance that will likely have to keep up for the team to have some semblance of success in a fastbreak-heavy style. Defense isn’t taking a backseat with all the talk about offense, but the Cyclones weren’t tested on the defensive end by a team whose

tallest player was listed at 6 feet 6 inches. Freedom within the game plan isn’t just a one-game fad for this squad, and playmakers like senior guard Diante Garrett will benefit. “It feels good getting 100 in the first game, and it builds our confidence up even more to do it with real action,” Garrett said. With no player taking more than 12 shots and the Cyclones distributing it to everyone on the team, Hoiberg wants to keep the tempo and let shots fly on the offensive end. “If there’s an open shot, I want

Freshman leads Iowa State to victory By David.Merrill iowastatedaily.com Freshman forward Hallie Christofferson paced Iowa State to a 61-40 victory over Wartburg on Sunday. Iowa State had a slow first half and trailed 29-25 at halftime before pushing the tempo and pulling away in the second half. Christofferson finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. Although the past two games have Wartburg just been exhibition Iowa State games, two freshman have stepped up and led the team in both games. Coach Bill Fennelly has a young team with just one senior, so the contribution of freshmen is going to be key for the Cyclones this season. “[Christofferson] always plays hard, she’s long and she’s athletic,” Fennelly said. “I think she’s someone that’s versatile. Her and [Chelsea Poppens] are our two

best offensive rebounders. She knows how to win and she’s very calm.” Iowa State came out flat Fennelly in the first half and allowed the Knights to do whatever they wanted offensively. The Cyclones also got outhustled to rebounds a number of times in the first half. 1 2 final Fe n n e l l y talked to his 29 11 40 team at halftime about 25 36 61 what needed to be fixed. “I think we just needed to step it up, obviously,” said senior guard Kelsey Bolte. “We didn’t come ready to play in the first half, so at halftime we had a little talk and came out ready to play.

Cyclones dominate stats, Tigers win match By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com Hitting percentage? Check. Assists? Check. Digs, blocks and even points? Check. On Saturday night, Iowa State beat Missouri in every statistical category but two, service aces and attack errors. Still, a feisty Tigers squad played well late in the second, third and fourth sets, propelling Missouri to a 3-1 upset of the No. 12 Cyclones (1925, 26-24, 25-22, 26-24) in the team’s return to Hilton Coliseum. “Each of the games that we lost were pretty close; it just shows you that you have to play well at the end of games,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “We did not play well at the end of games. We had trouble getting good swings, and I thought we were tentative when it counted.” The Cyclones (17-6, 10-5 Big 12) started out the match by holding the Tigers (17-8, 9-6) to a .026 hitting percentage en route to a 25-19 victory. Sophomore middle blocker Jamie Straube paced Iowa State with five kills in the first. Missouri, who was on a threematch win streak, regained the momentum in the second set behind Julianna Klein’s eight kills in a 26-24 victory. Following the intermission, the Tigers were able to capitalize on four attack errors and two service errors by Iowa State to take an early 14-9 lead and hold on for 25-22 third-set win. Iowa State looked poised to win the fourth set after jumping out to an early 8-1 lead behind three kills from senior outside hitter Victoria Henson. However, Missouri senior outside hitter Paola Ampudia skied high for 10 kills and helped the Tigers crawl back to a 24-24 tie and then hold off Iowa State for a 26-24 victory in the fourth set. Ampudia took plenty of swings

Saturday with a match-high 59 attacks as she led the Tigers with 22 kills and 11 digs. Klein and senior middle blocker Catie Wilson added 16 and Johnson-Lynch 11 kills while senior libero Caitlyn Vann paced the Mizzou defense with 24 digs. With her upper right leg heavily wrapped in an Ace Henson bandage, Henson tied her season-high in kills with 24 while hitting for a .370 clip. Henson, who fell down her apartment stairs last Sunday, took off the wrap in the fourth set with the score at 19-18 in favor of Mizzou. “It was just a little tight, I just took it off to make it feel better,” Henson said. “She played like she’s 100 percent,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She wanted to play all the way around, and she went out and proved that she was capable of it even if she was a little bit sore.” Also in double-digit kills for the Cyclones was Straube, who hit .290 with 13 kills and a pair of solo blocks, and junior middle blocker Debbie Stadick who notched 10 kills on a .588 clip. Senior libero Ashley Mass posted her school-record-tying sixth 30-dig performance, ending with 31, as she led four Cyclones with double figures in digs. With 10 Cyclones seeing the court Saturday night, Johnson-Lynch and her staff have been trying different

lineups to give the team an offensive spark. Freshman Tenisha Matlock and junior Kelsey Petersen have been splitting time at the right-side position, and freshman Kristen Hahn has been able to give Mass a rest when she comes in as a defensive specialist. “We can’t mess around much longer, and it’s not that we don’t know our lineup, it’s not really those things,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It’s, ‘Can people stay aggressive and be confident when the pressure is on?’ and I just thought tonight we folded under the pressure,” Johnson-Lynch said. The loss draws upon a similar situation the Cyclones faced earlier this season when Kansas snapped Iowa State’s 53-match win streak over unranked opponents. Straube said the loss to Missouri is tougher to take than the loss to the Jayhawks. “I think this one hurts worse than the Kansas match,” Straube said. “Just because I think that we’ve said things after the Kansas match, and I think we’ve said it too much and not done it enough, this one sinks in just a little deeper.” Sophomore setter Alison Landwehr finished the match with 55 assists and tied her career-high with 13 digs. In addition to her passing and defense, Landwehr, who has 92 kills on the season, finished with six kills in a match that saw both setters attempting a number of dump kills to try to confuse the opposing team’s block. “I think we were really looking for someone to step up and get a couple kills,” Landwehr said. “I was glad that I was able to do that, [I] probably should have done it a little more.” With five regular-season matches

remaining, including a rematch with No. 8 Texas, the Cyclones will have a few more opportunities to play in some close matches before the NCAA Tournament, which begins on Dec. 2. Johnson-Lynch and her staff will try to create some late-match situations in practice this week.

“You just have to try in practice to replicate that feeling and train that competitiveness and aggressiveness in them,” Johnson-Lynch said. The Cyclones will be able to get in a full week of practice before traveling to Norman, Okla., to take on the Sooners at 7 p.m. Saturday.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Denny Hamlin won at Texas for the second time this season to take over the lead in the closest three-way Chase for the Sprint Cup yet with two races left. Hamlin moved in front with 29 laps to go, then got a push from Matt Kenseth on the final restart with three laps to go Sunday. Kenseth pushed ahead momentarily before Hamlin got right back in front and went on to his series-best eighth victory of the season. For Jimmie Johnson, it was more Texas trouble and a bump in his drive for an unprecedented fifth consecutive title while his Hendrick teammate Jeff Gordon got into a fight on the track. Johnson carried a 14-point lead into Texas, but leaves in second place — 33 behind Hamlin. Kevin Harvick is third. Johnson lost the points lead with a ninth-place finish in a race where he lost ground on two troublesome pit stops. Despite an unusual crew change late in the race, it was

too late to get Johnson back ahead of Hamlin and Harvick. “It was just a long day,” Johnson said. “I had speed in the car. We worked our way forward and had issues on pit road. ... We gave away so much track position from the beginning. It’s tough to get back where we needed to.” The crew for Gordon took over in the pit with Johnson after Gordon crashed during a caution period. An angry Gordon hit Jeff Burton with a hard two-handed push after Burton sent Gordon’s car crashing. After getting out of his car, Gordon walked from the top to the bottom of the track to confront Burton. Gordon shoved Burton, then took some swings before they were separated. Hamlin won at Texas in April less than three weeks after surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. His first race after the surgery was a 30th-place finish at Phoenix, where the next race is. Kenseth finished second Sunday, and Mark Martin was third. Harvick was sixth. Greg Biffle led 11 times for 224 of the 334 laps, but finished fifth. The 20th Cup race

Yard Waste Free Days, Drug Drop Off planned Residents can take advantage of events By Micaela. Cashman iowastatedaily.com The City of Ames will host Yard Waste Free Days and a Drug Drop Off event this month. Yard Waste Free Days began Saturday and will continue for the next three Saturdays. Residents may bring lawn clippings and leaves to Bolder Creations, 407 Freel Drive, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Anyone who chooses to dispose of their yard waste this way must follow Bolder Creations’ rules for proper yard waste disposal. The Drug Drop Off event will take place from 9 a.m. until noon Saturday at Ames City Hall, 515 Clark Ave. This community-wide event is sponsored by the Ames Police Department, the Arnold O. Chantland Resource Recovery Plant and the Story County Prevention Policy Board. Recently, a Partnership for a Drug Free America survey reported that 6 in 10 teenagers ďŹ nd that prescription drugs are easier to obtain than illegal drugs. This discrepancy exists due to prescription drugs’ ease of access. These teens said they go to the family medicine cabinet, which are widely available in many households, if they want to abuse prescription drugs. The Drug Drop Off will ensure that prescription drugs are not easily available or accessible not only to teens, but to the rest of the community. Saturday is also the day for the American Medicine Chest Challenge, a nationwide public health initiative that aims to spread knowledge about disposing of unwanted, unused or expired medicine. Participants in this event should mark out any identifying information on the prescription label.

There’s a lot of work that must go into building a new business, especially when you construct it yourself. The owners of the new Mexican restaurant on Welch Avenue, El Patron, spent seven months building and designing the business by themselves. The three co-owners of El Patron are Martin Morales, 29, Gabriel Guzman, 28, and Miguel Guzman, 41. “Saving money was a big part of it,� Gabriel Guzman said. “Another reason was because it was something we wanted to do for ourselves.� The three partners all have previous experience with construction; the Guzman brothers even began their own construction business together. All three of the owners painted the entire restaurant and built the tables and booths, among other things. The process cost about $180,000. There were only a few things the partners weren’t able to do by themselves. “There were some things we needed for the license like plumbing and electric, but we would have done it ourselves if we could have,� Gabriel Guzman said. Not only did the owners have experience in

construction, they also had experience in working in restaurants. They all had family members who either worked or owned other Mexican restaurants throughout Iowa. “I’ve been working in [Mexican] restaurants for 15 years,â€? Morales said. “I saw opportunities to make my own restaurant. I wanted a better life for me and my kid.â€? After visiting a friend in Ames, Morales decided to move here from California. “I came here for vacation, but I liked the atmosphere, so I decided to move here for work,â€? Morales said. Although the new restaurant is serving many customers, it is still difficult to say how successful it will be in the long run. “Most business experts conform to a theory of ‘thirds’: Of all the new business startups, onethird eventually turn a proďŹ t, one-third break even and one-third never leave a negative earn-

ings scenario,â€? said Jing Zhang, assistant professor of management. “According to a study by the U.S. Small Business Association, only two-thirds of all small business startups survive the ďŹ rst two years, and less than half make it to four years,â€? Zhang said. “The point is that chances of longevity are not high,â€? said Howard Vanauken, professor of ďŹ nance. “Restaurant failure is among the highest of all categories of small ďŹ rms.â€? Despite the bleak future of some restaurants, El Patron remains positive. “We have good service, and we spend more time on our food,â€? Gabriel Guzman said. “It takes longer, but that’s OK.â€? The future of El Patron will remain in the hands of the patrons and the employees. “One of my friends told me to come here [to El Patron] because it’s good,â€? said senior Martin Braun. The owners work to serve their customers as best as they can. “Even if a person doesn’t leave tips, I’m still going to give you good service because I want you to come back,â€? Gabriel Guzman said. “It isn’t about the tips, the customers are important.â€? El Patron distinguishes itself from other restaurants in town through a variety of other ways. “I feel like we have a lot of good food and service,â€? Morales said. “We keep [the restaurant] very clean, and we’re very courteous to the customers to keep them coming back.â€?

The White House indicated more than once that President Obama would be willing to negotiate with Republicans to ensure the tax cuts remain in place on Jan. 1. “How that negotiation works itself out, I think it’s too early to say. But, you know, this is going to be one of my top priorities,â€? Obama said during a press conference Wednesday. For months the president had been saying that he only wanted the cuts extended permanently on income up to $250,000 for married couples and $200,000 for single ďŹ lers. Under his original proposal, the portion of the cuts that apply to income over $250,000 would expire after Dec. 31.

Republicans, meanwhile, have been pushing for a permanent extension of the cuts for everyone regardless of income. On Thursday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs indicated that the president “would be open� to discussing the option of extending the cuts for upper-income families for up to two years. And in his weekly address on Saturday, the president stated his preferred parameters: “One: middle-class families need permanent tax relief. And two: I believe we can’t afford to borrow and spend another $700 billion on permanent tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.� The president has called Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders for a meeting on Nov. 18 to discuss the agenda. Both parties have expressed concern that raising taxes on the majority of Americans in the next year would harm the economic recovery. “[M]y hope ... is that given [that] we all have an interest in growing the economy and encouraging job growth that we’re not going to play

brinkmanship but instead we’re going to act responsibly,â€? Obama said during his press conference. The president also may have indicated what he’d like from Republicans in exchange for his negotiating on high-income tax cuts. To help the economy, Obama said, it was important not only to keep middle-class taxes low and to extend a host of business tax breaks that regularly get renewed, but “to extend unemployment insurance because there are still a lot of folks out there hurting.â€? The program to extend federal unemployment beneďŹ ts expires on Nov. 30. Earlier this year, some Republicans opposed a previous extension and others argued it should be paid for. So what kind of tax-cut extension could both parties live with? Two Washington tax policy analysts -- Clint Stretch of Deloitte Tax and Anne Mathias of MF Global’s Washington Research Group -- believe the most likely compromise will be a temporary

extension for everyone for one or two years. Mathias believes Obama “will not veto a bill that extends them for all.â€? Stretch said that a temporary extension for all carries less political risk for Republicans than other scenarios oated, such as a permanent extension for the middle-class but a temporary one for the rich. “If the Republicans really care about high-income taxpayers, they can’t let them get separated from the middle class,â€? Stretch said. Democrats, meanwhile, can frame a temporary extension as a way to give everyone time to ďŹ gure out how to slow growth in the U.S. debt, much like what House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer suggested this summer, Stretch said. In June, Hoyer made news when he said Congress needed “to have a serious discussionâ€? about whether the country can afford a permanent extension. CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux contributed to this report.

>>OVERTIME.p1B Mahoney. Nebraska’s starting quarterback Taylor Martinez didn’t play, changing the Cornhusker game plan. NU threw the ball just 12 times with backup Cody Green, staying on the ground and running it 52 times for 235 yards. “We really can’t let [Martinez not playing] phase us, we just have to adjust on the run,â€? Klein said. Cyclone running back Alexander Robinson gained 101 yards on the ground on 32 carries and caught four passes. But the provider of those passes, Arnaud, fought through his injury and played a complete ball game. The senior co-captain ďŹ nished 21-of-32

passing for 203 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. “In a lot of ways, I think Austen Arnaud played his best game as a Cyclone,â€? Rhoads said. “He managed our team, he led our team down the ďŹ eld. People can malign him all they want. He’s a dang good football player, and he’s an Iowa State Cyclone all the way.â€? The win could have put the Cyclones in contention for the Big 12 North lead, but instead they fall back to .500 and have to work their way to a bowl bid. “They all hurt bad,â€? Rhoads said. Iowa State hits the road next week, taking on Colorado in Boulder, Colo.

>>HOIBERG.p2B them to shoot it,â€? Hoiberg said. “I’ve played for coaches that built me up with conďŹ dence, and I’ve played for coaches that made you hesitant to shoot. It’s tough to make shots when you look over the shoulder at the coach when he’s questioning your shot selection.â€? Newcomers Calvin Godfrey and Jake Anderson were efficient in their ďŹ rst game as Cyclones. The two were a combined 12-of-19 from the ďŹ eld, with 29 points and 23 rebounds. Anderson’s scoring ability was noted at his former school, Northern Illinois, and Godfrey’s breakaway dunk in the second half was exactly

>>ANDERSON.p2B “I just wanted to get in the ow with these guys,â€? Anderson said. “It was a great feeling.â€? Garrett gave Cyclone fans a peek at what to expect from the team’s lone returning senior as well. After spending his ďŹ rst three seasons as a pass-ďŹ rst guard, Hoiberg is expecting Garrett to shoot the ball more and to carry more of the scoring load for the inexperienced Cyclones. “A lot of guys have been sagging back, going under ball screens, so all summer, all preseason long I’ve been in the gym just getting as many shots up as I can,â€? Garrett said. “I know a lot of guys are going to do it this year, so I’ve got to make them respect my jump shot.â€? Garrett was 4-of-12 shooting, including hitting three of his seven 3-point attempts. Freshman Calvin Godfrey also notched his ďŹ rst career double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds in his ďŹ rst collegiate game.

what up-tempo basketball is supposed to create. “At practice we get at it,â€? Anderson said. “The guys that are sitting out this year help us out a lot, staying aggressive on us, and I think that helps us bring the ow to the game.â€? The triple-digit outburst came in a game that won’t count on the schedule, and while last year’s Greg McDermott-coached team scored 96 and 106 points in exhibition games last year, they only averaged 72.5 points per game for the rest of the year. Hoiberg wants to keep the team’s fast-tempo style so that lighting up the scoreboard can become commonplace at Hilton. “That’s the way they like to play, and with the guys we have, I think that’s the most effective way,â€? Hoiberg said.

Godfrey also excited the Hilton crowd with a block on Dubuque’s Travis White’s 3-point try, then taking the ball to the opposite end for a thunderous dunk early in the second half. “We’re going to need that from him all year long,â€? Anderson said. “We’re not deep, we’re not very big, so a guy like that that’s able to bring that to the table, we’re going to need that.â€? Two other freshmen, Melvin Ejim and Jordan Railey, got into double-digit scoring, and Ejim played in 31 of the game’s 40 minutes, the most by any Cyclone. Eric McKnight was only the oor for 11 minutes and was the only Cyclone that didn’t score. Redshirt freshman Bubu Palo scored 14 points, including going 8-of-10 from the freethrow line in his ďŹ rst action since the two exhibitions in the 2009 season. “I told you all from day one that they’ve been working hard,â€? Garrett said. “That’s what I expect from them, if you work hard, then all of it will pay off.â€?

>>ARNAUD.p1B downs also pushed Arnaud into second place in ISU history with 42 career scoring passes. His roommate, Williams, had ďŹ ve catches, 46 yards and the two touchdowns, one of his best outputs as a Cyclone as well. The positives, individually or collectively, didn’t outweigh the sting from the loss, though. “There’s not a lot to take from this game,â€? Arnaud said. “Wish we could say, ‘A win is a win,’ and we had won that game, but a loss is a loss and that’s how we’ve got to take it.â€?

>>BOLTE.p2B assist. Amanda Zimmerman helped out on the glass with seven rebounds and 10 points. Iowa State had a signiďŹ cant size advantage with Zimmerman, Anna Prins and Poppens in the post, even though Poppens was limited due to foul trouble. The Cyclones got to the line just eight times and only made two free throws. For Fennelly, this is a sign that his team was not aggressive enough. “Eight free-throw attempts in any game isn’t good enough,â€? Fennelly said. “That shows you’re not attacking the basket. We’ve got to do a better job of that and that’s something we work on all the time, and we have to continue to work on that.â€? The Cyclones weren’t much better from behind the arc. They shot just 3-for-25 from the 3-point line. That led to more work being done in the paint, where Iowa State outscored Wartburg 48-8. Being on the same page is another im-

Now, the Cyclones must pull themselves up off of the mat and rebound if they want to earn their second straight bowl berth under Rhoads. Iowa State sits at 5-5, one win shy of bowl eligibility, and a trip to Boulder, Colo., to face the 3-6 Buffaloes awaits. The Cyclones clinched bowl eligibility against the Buffaloes in 2009, too, with a 17-10 win in Ames. “We’ve still got a lot ahead of us,� Williams said. “I have no doubt this team will bounce back. We’ll come back ready to play next week, no question.�

provement the Cyclones need to make before their season-opener against Western Illinois on Saturday. “The biggest thing was just communicating with each other,â€? Zimmerman said. “It seemed like in the Christofferson ďŹ rst half, we were all just like dead and not saying anything.â€? Bolte said communication can come down to some of the smallest and simplest parts of the game. In order to communicate effectively, Bolte everyone needs to know her role on the oor. “We were in the wrong defense one time, coming out of a timeout,â€? Bolte said. “That’s just based on [Fennelly] communicating with us and us communicating with each other, and we didn’t do that. By the time we play this weekend, I’m sure we’ll be a lot better off.â€?
