ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Cal Clutterbuck scored for the third time in two nights, and the Minnesota Wild beat St. Louis 3-1 on Saturday while sending Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak to an early exit. Halak was pulled for Ty Conklin midway through the second period after Kyle Brodziak’s goal made it 3-0 Minnesota.

Antti Miettinen also scored a power-play goal for the Wild, who got another strong start by goalie Niklas Backstrom and outshot the Blues 31-25.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- Apple devotees in states largely disregarded under a formerly exclusive deal to distribute the iPhone rushed to stores to snap up the gadget early Thursday as Verizon Wireless entered the fray. Phil Toso, the manager of a Verizon store in Baxter, Minn., said dozens of people showed up when the business opened at 7 a.m.

Thursday. The store normally opens at 10.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Food industry workers who become whistleblowers gained protection against retaliation from their employers with a littlenoticed provision in the sweeping food safety law President Barack Obama signed last month. The Food Safety and Modernization Act is best known for sections that aim to prevent foodborne illnesses, allow the Food and Drug Administration to order recalls and make it easier to trace contaminated food to its source. But the law also protects workers at food companies regulated by the FDA from being fired, demoted or denied promotions or raises if they speak up about what they think are violations.

NATIONAL WHITE SWAN, Wash. (AP) -- Dozens of firefighters battled a blaze fueled by strong winds on Washington’s Yakama Indian Reservation that destroyed 18 homes, officials said. The fire apparently started in one house in the early Saturday afternoon and then spread in the town of White Swan, bolstered by 40 mph winds.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A man accused of going on a 28-hour stabbing rampage through New York City shouted that he was the victim of a “setup” as he was led from a police station Sunday. Maksim Gelman was awaiting arraignment in Brooklyn on charges that he hacked three people to death, then stalked the city for more than a day, attacking innocent strangers, hijacking vehicles and killing a pedestrian with a car.

On Jan. 19, the committee set a timeline that suggested that a final candidate list would be given to President Bresciani by mid-April. The committee is aiming at getting a provost in place with enough time that they can be fully acquainted with the community by fall semester.

The process is long and timeconsuming, but getting to know the candidates and being able to properly assess them will ensure that they are in line with what the university is looking for.

“This individual will ... need to share President Bresciani's vision of what NDSU can be in the future,” Gudmestad said in a press release.

“We know that filling sandbags is not the glamorous part,” Stoskopf said. “Filling sandbags is not nearly as visible ... but it is critical. If we don’t have the sandbags filled, we can’t place them as dikes.”

Stoskopf explained that this year is expected to be very different than the last two years with regard to what has been anticipated and experienced in terms of snow and water content.

She stressed that students not rely on how things have gone in the past because this year may not necessarily be the same as others.

“I would encourage [students] to get out there as early as possible,” Stoskopf said about sandbagging. “One of the things that is of concern, for me, is that we’ve had two years where we have successfully held back the flood waters, and that can lead to a real sense of complacency.”

close the institution have been made.

“We strongly encourage students to participate when they have time,” Stoskopf said.

“We have not changed any of the operations of the university; everything is in full force at this point, and that is our intent to remain the case for as long as we are able to and hopefully throughout the entire event, because we don’t want to disrupt student’s academic work.”

Stoskopf said that there are multiple areas in which students will be able to contribute, regardless of physical limitations.

She listed sandbagging, staffing the volunteer center and preparing sandwiches for volunteers all as part of the flood efforts.

Stoskopf said if students would like to contribute in other ways, they should contact the volunteer center for more information.

ging can visit the flood support center on the main level of the Memorial Union located next to Bison Connection to register.

Each time students volunteer, they must fill out a flood response volunteer intake form.

The form acknowledges the risks associated with volunteering, and asks participants for basic and emergency contact information.

Buses will pick volunteers up every fifteen minutes on the west side of the Memorial Union during the regular operation hours of Sandbag Central.

Those who volunteer will be given a button to signify that they helped fight the 2011 flood as part of the NDSU community.

“I have been so amazed over the years at what our students are capable of, and what they are willing to do,” Stoskopf said. “The community of Fargo gives so much to this institution and supports us in so many ways, and this is really our chance to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, and really be part of that overall community.”

Stoskopf said that if each NDSU student were to contribute two hours filling sandbags, the university would contribute 27,000 hours of service counting students alone.

“If everybody gives a little, it won’t take much from everybody,” Stoskopf said.

For more information about flood prevention efforts and how to get involved, students can visit the flood support center or look for e-mails from NDSU flood support.

News ORGANIZATION SPOTLIGHT NICOLE ROBERSON News Reporter

NDSU offers about 300 different student organizations of r students to get involved on and around campus.

Many of these organizations make a great addition to a résumé and are great learning experiences. One of such organizations is the Model United Nations (Model UN).

Model UN is somewhat selfexplanatory; it serves as a bit

of a mock-session of the real United Nations, where students are separated into groups that act out the various member states.

Like the United Nations, there are many members, thus many schools aside from just NDSU are involved.

This group as a whole meets once per semester for a nationwide conference.

In fall, this conference is held in Chicago and in spring it rotates throughout the upper Midwest.

Model United Nations

The website for the American Model United Nations (www.amun.org), the organization that hosts these conferences, states that their philosophy is to strive to “create a simulation of the United Nations which is as realistic as possible, while still allowing for the fulfillment of the educational goals of our participants.”

Model UN is not a new organization here, “it was inactive for a few years, but Ryan Eberle helped bring it back in

spring of 2008,” Erik Braaten, former president of Model UN said.

American Model United Nations itself was founded in 1989.

Model UN is not only active at the biannual conference, but members meet weekly to practice for the upcoming conference.

At the conference, members are expected to be knowledgeable of their assigned member state, so time is spent researching this state and reviewing

the rules for the conference for practice.

Members are further divided into committees, such as international securities, economics and financial, and social, humanitarian and cultural.

In the past, NDSU has represented such states as Azerbaijan, Argentina and Serbia.

Model UN also participates in service projects throughout each semester, although it has yet to be decided what they will choose for this spring.

This organization is open to students of all majors and those wishing to join or learn more information about Model UN can contact its president, Zoe Wergeland, at Zoe.Wergeland@ndsu.edu.

Additional information is also available on the NDSU chapter’s website, sites.google.com/site/ndsumodelun.

authors to Hostage-taker at NC Local host book signing bank was unarmed CHELSEY THRONSON

CARY, N.C. (AP) -- A man who told hostages and police he had a gun was actually unarmed during a three-hour standoff that ended with officers shooting and killing him outside a North Carolina bank, police said Sunday.

“

Why Devon set all of this in motion, why he wanted all of us to believe that he had a weapon and was prepared to kill with it are questions that we will never have the answers to.

-Police Chief Pat Bazemore Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore said 19-year-old Devon Mitchell concealed an object inside a red toboggan hat and presented it as a gun, but that he didn't have a firearm.

Mitchell had as many as seven hostages, though most were released during the course of the standoff on Thursday.

“Why Devon set all of this in motion, why he wanted all of us to believe that he had a weapon and was prepared to kill with it are questions that

we will never have the answers to,” Bazemore said. “But it is clear that that's what Devon wanted us to believe.”

A bank employee called police at the beginning of the ordeal and told dispatchers that she was ordered to call by an armed man who was holding another worker at gunpoint, according to an audio tape of the 911 call.

Police have said he didn't demand money.

At the end, Mitchell walked out holding what appeared to be a gun to the head of a hostage and police fired, killing the suspect. No one else was harmed.

“This information does not change that our officers did exactly what they were trained to do and what they were expected to do,” Bazemore said of the shooting.

One expert said last week that the fact that Mitchell did not demand money from the bank teller could mean the standoff was a case of “suicide by cop” - a term used to describe when a suicidal person purposely induces a law enforcement officer to kill him.

In those cases, suspects want to die but are afraid to pull the trigger themselves, so they commit an offense knowing that officers would probably respond with deadly force, said Dr. Barry Perrou, a

forensic psychologist and former commander of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Hostage Negotiations Unit.

“Devon Mitchell was troubled,” Bazemore said. “We’ve heard it over and over again in interviews after his death. And we all have to ask ourselves if someone could have done something that would have made a difference in that young man’s life.”

The chief says Mitchell's family does not want to talk to the media. The names of the hostages have not been released.

A city spokeswoman said the officers involved in the shooting were all on administrative

duty, which is standard policy following a shooting.

The city officers were Ricky Burch, 45, a senior police officer who has been on the force since 1999; Sgt. Rick Glancy, 42, who has been on the force since 1993; Irvin Leggett, 42, a senior police officer on the force since 1998; and Chris Redig, 31, a master police officer on the force since 2007.

Wake County Deputy Brad Manville was also involved in the shooting and is on administrative duty. He has been with the sheriff's department for about four years, sheriff's spokeswoman Phyllis Stephens said Sunday.

Timothy J. Kloberdanz and Troyd A. Geist are hosting a book signing from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursday at the NDSU Bookstore.

The book, “Sundogs and Sunflowers: Folklore and Folk Art of the Northern Great Plains,” features more than 1,000 examples of folklore and approximately 300 color pictures.

Kloberdanz is a professor emeritus of anthropology and Geist is an NDSU alumnus and state folklorist.

In an official statement, Kloberdanz said, “There has been a tremendous amount of interest in the book … so Troyd and I are pleased to do a book-signing on campus.

Because of all the time we both spent at NDSU, the place is like a second home to us. We hope to see some old friends and to make some new ones, too.”

The book was published by the North Dakota Council on the Arts and copies will be available for purchase during the book signing.

A portion of the proceeds are going toward a scholarship fund for NDSU students.

Suicide awareness: NDSU CARES KATERNIA VORONOVA News Reporter

According to a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control, it is estimated that 1,100 college students commit suicide every year.

The counseling center has been working on a suicide prevention program, and has recently met their goal.

The Dakota Medical foundation donated $10,000 to the Campus Awareness, Referral and Education for Suicide Prevention Project (NDSU CARES), and the NDSU Alumni Association donated $1,500 to the counseling center.

The counseling center is working on training 1,800 members of NDSU staff and students in suicide prevention.

The goal was to complete the training in three years, and they met that goal in just over two years. “Training was accomplished through the presentation of NDSU CARES, a suicide prevention project aimed at educating individuals about the warning signs of suicide and steps to be taken to decrease risk,� a press release noted.

According to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, warning signs include threats to hurt or kill oneself, excessive talking about death, feelings of hopelessness, increased alcohol and drug use, dramatic mood changes and several others.

Sources say individuals with suicidal thoughts will feel listless, worthless; they cannot

sleep, eat, work and feel like they cannot get anyone’s attention nor have any control over their lives.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline suggests several ways a person can prevent a family member or friend from committing suicide. Talk openly and directly to the person, be non-judgmental, show support, seek help from a professional and remove all means by which the person could commit suicide.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 10 per-

cent of college students admit to having suicidal thoughts.

The American College Health Association said 1.5 percent of college students admitted attempting to commit suicide.

The counseling center is a free resource that helps students cope with stress, depression and anxiety. It has individual, couples and group counseling as well as workshops on stress management, academic success and career exploration.

Khalil Khan is a professor in the department of cereal and food sciences. Let us reflect on his journey to NDSU and the 30 years he has dedicated to this university so far.

Khan is originally from Trinidad, which is a Caribbean neighbor to Jamaica. He is the son of a humble sugarcane farmer who had very little formal education.

His father however knew the value of education and vowed that his children would all pursue formal education (and all ten of them did).

Growing up in Trinidad, Khan helped his father on weekends and holidays -- during the breaks from high school -- cultivate vegetables and sugar cane awhile rearing goats and cows.

In today’s society we want things fast: fast cars, fast turnover rates, fast results. “I want it now,” is the motto of the 21st century.

However, when it comes to health, people have slowly begun to realize that the only payoff for fast results is an even faster regain.

Dieting should stress the importance of patience and diligence where as most commercial diets rely on quick fixes.

Many commercial diets are about restricting caloric intake and over-exercising to the point that the dieter becomes frustrated and overwhelmed.

According to MSNBC online, a 31-month research experiment done by the University of California in Los Angeles found that “just over two-thirds of those who lost weight regained the weight within five years of the weight loss.”

They also found that the “more a person restricted or cut certain food groups the likelier they were to regain the weight.”

Such yo-yo dieting can cause serious health complications.

The Mayo Clinic compares this type of dieting to that of a binge eating disorder because the health implications are greatly correlated.

Find the right tie • Less is more: Complicated patterns or large pictures on ties can draw too much attention. Coordinate the tie with an outfit appropriately to enhance the overall look.

• Color is important: The tie that is chosen should always contain at least one color that can be found on the suit, belt or shoes. The tie color should also complement the shirt, not match it exactly.

• Always check measurements: The tie should never be longer than the middle of where the belt is located.

• Choose fabric wisely: The best tie to buy is 100 percent silk ties because they last longer, but if the tie is lined with a wool fabric, it will keep its shape and will not twist when hung. Ensure the tie also has a bar tack or a stitch that holds flaps at back bottom of tie.

This spring, become the Hollywood diva you have secretly wanted to be.

Instead of roaming around campus looking like Lady Gaga, promenade the sidewalks looking like old Hollywood icons.

Classic Hollywood stars like Aubrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe grabbed others’ attention with their elegant style without having to wear a dress made of meat.

The clothing, accessories and makeup these women wore always seemed to be classy, fresh, sophisticated and feminine.

Their style has lasted

throughout the decades and many top designers are incorporating them in their collections this spring.

According to the January issue of Vogue magazine, many designers had their models “wearing spring’s cinematically romantic looks.”

Some of the designers that are updating this old Hollywood glamour are Jason Wu (who designed the First Lady Michelle Obama’s Inaugural Ball gown) and also Luisa Beccaria.

According to Cosmopolitan magazine online, designer Luisa Beccaria talked about bringing back old Hollywood glamour.

“This look evokes ‘50s Hollywood glamour. It’s for a

woman who is aware that her sex appeal is both empowering and strong,” Beccaria shared.

You are sure to feel both empowered and strong if you incorporate new trends with timeless trends.

Pairing a belt with a dress helps to create an old Hollywood feel.

“I felt that accentuating the waistline with a belt would be playful yet sensual…very ‘50s Hollywood glamour,” Beccaria said.

Jason Wu’s inspiration for his spring 2011 collection featured many classic looks circa 1940-1950.

Vogue magazine’s website states that Wu unveiled “an updated version of a forties frame bag, a classic tote, and a

chic clutch in nude, ‘luggage’ brown, and navy tones.”

Vogue magazine online also stated that Wu’s accessories collection will “pay homage to the bygone era, alongside an exotic range of vertiginous platforms.”

Another way to glamorize a spring wardrobe is to match it with your hair and makeup.

Red lip color is always a classic and iconic color that screams Hollywood glamour.

At the 2011 Golden Globes, actress January Jones’ hair and makeup could have teleported from an awards show in the 1950s.

This spring, try including a bit of Hollywood glamour to your wardrobe and make it your own timeless style.

pain, muscle pain, both high blood pressure and high cholesterol among other things.”

When choosing a diet for yourself, it is best to do away with the current commercial diets.

Realize that making a life change is much more important than attempting to lose temporary weight.

Vanity should not be the main concern; this diet is about getting healthy.

According to CBS News online, the American population has entered a time when we are “spending $35 billion dollars a year on weight loss supplies (this includes the supplies for commercial diets, and not gym memberships).”

ABC recently sponsored the Kaiser Permanente Center of Health Research in their test to determine whether food journals were a helpful aid in weight loss.

The results showed that “participants that used food journals lost almost double than their non-user counter parts.”

Results also indicated that one could be successful in their attempt to get healthy just by counting calories.

Perhaps as a culture we have over-complicated our weight loss routines.

But being aware of your amount of intake, exercising and staying away from commercial dieting is the best way to move forward and move on the healthiest.

When deciding to wear a necktie in any context, it is very important to wear the most appropriate one.

Here is a quick guide to wearing the right tie and making it essential to your outfit.

Casual: This style applies when going out on a date or on a night out with the guys.

Most often, when wearing a tie with this style, it is best to pair it with your favorite jeans and a collared shirt.

Stay away from patterned ties in these occasions and instead go for solid-colored ones.

When choosing an outfit, always go for light-colored ties if wearing dark-colored shirts.

When wearing light-colored shirts, choose darker ties.

Also, remember when you do decide to wear light-colored shirts, use darker-shaded jeans and vice versa.

Try this: Match a gray collared shirt with dark wash jeans and top it off with a solid black tie.

Business: Typically, this style is used for interviews, conferences and job-related events.

Also a suit jacket is not re-

quired.

Do not wear jeans on these occasions. Not only does this look unprofessional, but it also removes an appearance of class.

For business style, feel free to wear patterned ties. In fact, try avoiding solid-colored ties.

When patterned ties are part of an outfit, it makes you look confident, stylish and adds a great modern look.

Try this: Wear a pair of black fitted slacks with a light purple or lavender shirt.

Match it with a striped tie: try using one that has dark purple, silver and gray tones.

And remember to wear appropriate dress shoes to emphasize the entire look.

Formal: This style is usually for events that require you to R.V.S.P, such as weddings, anniversaries and award shows.

For this occasion, a full suit is required.

Do not make the mistake of wearing a bow tie. Unless you want to be associated as a child, this is a fashion don’t.

During these events, it is best to stick with black, dark blue and dark gray suits.

Do match the color of the tie to the color of the suit and stay away from ties that have patterns, designs and those that are specified as “special holiday.”

Ties are a great way to show personality in an outfit. Be creative, but be appropriate and show that you too have got style.

Saying “no” to commercial dieting HILLARY CLIFTON

T h e S p e c t r u m | T u e s d a y, F e b r u a r y 1 5 , 2 0 1 1 Emily Hanson Arts and Entertainment Editor Phone: 231-5261 | Email: ae@ndsuspectrum.com

The not-so-glamorous Hollywood romance Another Valentine’s Day has come and gone and I started to think about the “long” lasting Hollywood romances.

What sparked me to dwell on the fairy-tale whirlwind love stories of the rich and famous? Well in case you live under a rock (or just don’t care like me… I just happened to catch this on EMILY MSN) and haven’t heard the latest Hollywood scandal: Fall Out Boy HANSON rocker Pete Wentz and pop star wife A&E Editor Ashlee Simpson have called it quits after almost three years of wedded bliss.

It’s the end of world! Oh wait… isn’t this typical for the good majority of Hollywood relationships? It seems that most celebrity marriages last a few years (or in some cases, a few months) and then they end in divorce.

NY Daily News listed the 25 shortest celebrity marriages.

They include: Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds: two years Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller: two-and-a-half years Charlie Sheen and Donna Peele: five months Britney Spears and Jason Alexander: 55 hours Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson: four months Ali Landry and Mario Lopez: two weeks Jennifer Lopez and Chris Judd: 13 months Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas: one month Drew Barrymore and Tom Green: five months Jennifer Esposito and Bradley Cooper: four months Eddy Murphy and Tracey Edmonds: two weeks Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra: nine days Paula Abdul and Brad Beckerman: 17 months Shannen Doherty and Ashley Hamilton: five months Lauren Holly and Jim Carrey: 10 months Nicky Hilton and Todd Meister: three months Nicholas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley: three months Chris Kattan and Sunshine Deia Tutt: eight weeks Mike Tyson and Robin Givens: eight months Courtney Thorne-Smith and Andrew Conrad: seven months Colin Farrell and Amelia Warner: four months Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray: five months Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips: eight days Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine: 32 days The big question is why do Hollywood romances end so quickly? In regard to actress Kate Winslet and director Sam Mendes’ divorce in early 2010, celebrity psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman said that many celebrities identify with a married couple in a movie and strive to be that couple. Soon after, boredom and restlessness set in and the whirlwind Hollywood romance soon comes to an end.

Lieberman also said that “stars want their off-screen lives to be as exciting and dramatic as the changing roles they play onscreen.”

In an article on Hollywoodlife.com, psychotherapist and relationship expert Dr. Gilda Carle stated that, “Hollywood marriages are built on a foundation of never neverland because they believe in their own scripts. Also, they often feel that issues that they have in the marriage will go away by themselves. A lot of people don’t want to put in the effort or the time or the pain that’s involved to make a marriage work.”

It’s a slightly disheartening thought that a lot of celebrities are so wrapped up in scripted romances that they can’t tell what’s reality from what’s fantasy. What’s even more disheartening is that when the marriage of two celebrities starts to get tough, they’re out the door without even trying to reconcile their “irreconcilable differences.”

Welcome to reality, folks. Marriage is hard work. It’s not easy and it takes communication and dedication to make it work. So often we see movies with beautiful love stories that unfold before our eyes and they seem so effortless. We long for those epic romances and wish we could date the hottest celebrities. What we fail to see is that the hottest celebrity’s view of romance may be just as skewed.

Keep that in mind the next time your favorite Hollywood couple decides to call it quits. To a lot of people it’s just the latest gossip. But it’s kind of hard not to have pity on these celebrities who have such a skewed view of love that they feel they have no option but to quit.

Fatherhood, music and everything in between MICHAEL WEILER Contributing Writer

Fatherhood to some may seem restricting. But musician Shane Maland sees it as an opening to new and amazing things that once were never possible.

“Everything has changed.

But it’s the things that have changed that aren’t worth it anyway -- staying up late, going to the bars -- it has brought me closer to my family and closer to myself," Maland said. "Fatherhood puts everything into perspective for me.”

“

Fatherhood puts everything into perspective for me.

Maland's perspective has changed since becoming a father.

Growing up in small-town Minnesota, Maland's family moved a lot.

“I am a small-town Minnesota kid. Always will be. We did move around quite a bit though, but my heart was always in Minnesota.”

Maland has Minnesota written all over him: he’s tall, a little rough around the edges but quietly haunting in some ways, like when one wakes up on a cold Minnesota morning.

There is a certain peace and calm to it. But if you let it, it will take you down.

Maland's music is a complete reflection of that: stirring images of his past and present and glimpses into the future.

“As a kid, [my family and I] would take trips out to Montana. We would stop at the border, or close to it, and my parents would let me buy a cassette tape. Elvis was a big one. So were the Beach Boys and the Beatles, like almost every other person on the planet I guess," Maland said.

"Today, I would say my biggest influence would be Elliott Smith. I think it was because he played for himself.

Even though his stuff was sad, it's a beautiful kind of sad.

And writing those kinds of songs makes you a little bit better. It's a very cathartic experience.”

Minnesota is also known for its seasons and how drastically they can come roaring in, sometimes overlapping with

dustry about the oversaturation of music games.

Word of this dismissal does not exactly fill gamers with confidence in Activision.

It has already come under much scrutiny and criticism for its strategy of bleeding a popular franchise dry, often at a higher price than its competitors, and then dropping the franchise by the wayside.

Evidence of this can be found by looking into the current state of the aforementioned “Call of Duty” and “Tony Hawk” franchises.

They have seen recent explosions of heavily priced content and been largely forgotten after decreasing sales, respectively.

Bobby Kotick, CEO, president and director of Activision’s parent company Activision Blizzard, who has gone on record as wanting to “exploit” popular franchises and “…take all the fun out of making video games,” has come to be the embodiment of this soulless business strategy.

Only time will tell if Activision’s other, more popular video games can endure the sort of treatment that the entire music game genre has experienced.

Not only will Activision be cancelling the series’ latest installment, but according to a quote by the publisher taken from an article on Joystiq.com they will “disband Activision Publishing's Guitar Hero" business unit."

As if all of this weren’t enough, the company also stated that while all scheduled downloadable content (DLC) for previously released “Guitar Hero” and “DJ Hero” games will continue through February, it would appear that any new DLC beyond what has already been announced will be discontinued.

The simple life: The electric life

Honoring guns

RYLEE NELSON

DEREK GAFFNEY

Opinion Editor

Staff Writer

Saturday afternoon offered a rather simplistic lesson that has long been forgotten: electricity is life.

As I was driving home from a long day of work, I suddenly found myself lost and confused as I realized that there wasn’t a traffic signal to direct my Taurus.

What once was a necessary vehicular companion was then nowhere to be found. Once I managed to finally make it to my destination after halting at each and every stoplight, I found something that has long been forgotten: a neighborhood gathering.

In the living room of my fiancées house was a clan of 10 adults all passing along the latest news and laughing, as each of them would inevitably flip a switch to no avail.

As I sat amongst the cheery group, I reflected on this moment and on the current predicament -- or possible blessing -- we found ourselves in. It seemed that the TV, Internet, and other power suckers had finally relinquished their hold on us.

What once were ten individuals isolated to their personal quadrants of sensory enjoyment was then a collective of energized smiles.

I tried not to let myself get too dramatic with my rather bold observation as I drove home in a persistently darker city. As I arrived at my house I found my roommate sitting contentedly in our rocking chair deeply enthralled with hangman on his blackberry.

Now being forced out of my personal quadrant, I found myself pacing between the microwave that no longer had cooking potential and the fireplace that no longer could issue heat. After making my restlessness aware to my fellow electricity connoisseur, he tried to advert my attention by striking up conversation about the case of a zombie invasion.

After having a full, workable plan and being assured of my roommate’s slightly uncomfortable preparedness for such an event, we found ourselves in a dimly lit room with little to do.

As much as my roommate was prepared for this electricity deficiency, I realized that I was not. I realized that most of everything in my life revolved around this one thing that I hadn’t thought twice about six hours before this.

I could no longer take a warm shower, get ice-cold water from my fridge or even use the Internet; my router was down. With all this seeming disarray, I was in an incredible amount of peace.

I couldn’t worry about not doing homework because I couldn’t see it. I couldn’t worry about cleaning my room because the problem didn’t exist in the dark. There was no laundry to catch up on because I couldn’t do it.

I was simply left to relax in the company of a good friend and lighthearted conversation.

We soon scrounged up the only two candles in the house (which made me slightly doubt the foolproof plan contrived by my roommate) and enjoyed a beloved board game and some barely visible monster cookies. Only one thing happened that night that actually disappointed me: the lights came back on.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a good American and I love guns. I’m not really sure why, but I think it has to do with explosions and destroying things. Like I said, I’m a good American, and explosions and destruction are two of the most American things.

Which is why I have to applaud the great state of Utah for their recommendation to have an official state gun. If the bill passes the legislature, the Browning M1911 will become the first-ever official gun of a state.

State Rep. Carl Wimmer is the sponsor of the bill, and has stated that the handgun is “an instrument of freedom and democracy.” Wimmer is quoted in Talking Points Memo as saying “This firearm has literally saved countless lives, it has defended freedom and liberty across the globe and, as Utahans, we should be proud of that.”

However, in a recent interview with Talking Points

Memo, Wimmer went on to say that “[The bill] is really not significant," to which I respond that I must completely disagree. This bill is huge. To my knowledge, this will be the first time an instrument of death is honored by an entire state.

I think this is a pretty significant event. I don’t really know why Wimmer would call his own work “insignificant,” I mean, if I were a representative for the people I wouldn’t go around saying that the work I was doing on the taxpayer’s dime was insignificant. It seems like a bad idea to tell the people in charge of your employment that you’re wasting their money,

but maybe that is just me.

I can completely understand why Utah wants to honor the gun. Sure, some may point to the many, many lives of nonAmericans and Americans who met their ends after a bullet shot from the M1911 entered their bodies and inflicted fatal damage, but we have to remember how many American lives were saved by the gun. “Countless,” Wimmer says.

I don’t know how high Wimmer can count, but I imagine it’s pretty high, so the gun must have saved a lot of lives over the years. Not just any lives either, but American lives, which we all know are more important than any

other lives.

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that maybe instead of honoring an inanimate object we should be honoring the people who used the object to protect our country. You’re thinking that perhaps we should honor the man who designed the lifeless object that has kept freedom alive in this country for so many years.

To you, fellow American, I ask – why do you hate explosions? Why do you hate America?

Life: A different perspective JESS RUCH Contributing Writer

Earlier this month a young woman in Colorado went to pick up her prescription for an antibiotic. Instead of receiving her own medication, 19-yearold Mareena Silva was given a bottle of Methotrexate by mistake. Rather than going indepth about the failure of the pharmacist to follow protocol in making sure a patient receives the correct pills, I want to turn readers’ attention to a different aspect of this story.

Methotrexate is a drug that affects the process of rapid cell

division and is often prescribed to patients with cancer. Though not a labeled use, Methotrexate can also be prescribed as an abortion drug in conjunction with another medication to terminate earlystage pregnancies. If administered by injection up to six weeks after conception, taking Methotrexate by itself is over 90% effective in causing an abortion. At the time she picked up her prescription, Mareena Silva was six weeks pregnant. After receiving emergency treatment, she is waiting to see whether or not the medication will cause birth defects in her unborn baby or

cause an unwanted abortion.

She has said that her “biggest worry is the baby being healthy and surviving...”

I hate thinking that Silva’s circumstances could end so sadly, but what if her baby does not survive? What makes her situation different from a woman who decides to have an abortion? All the same factors are present: a woman, her pregnancy, the medication and the end result. I think the key word that defines the difference is clear: choice. A woman who has an abortion decides to end her pregnancy while a woman like Silva has no choice in the matter. Other than their point of view, the end result of their situation is the same. While Silva might say that she “lost her baby,” a woman who has an abortion might say that she “ended her pregnancy.” No matter how she phrases it, each woman has ultimately experienced the same thing. Her perception cannot change reality. Similarly, whether we call it a baby, a fetus or simply the contents of the womb, our perception of what is living inside of a preg-

nant woman does not change its actual being.

Not many people ask about the thing in the situation that can change. With regard to abortion, it is often perspective

that many regret their choice.

Abortion seems to be an explosion that leaves a lot of shrapnel – not only women are affected by it. Retreats like Rachel’s Vineyard are available to women as well as men, grandparents, siblings and friends who have been affected by abortion.

Churches will often do whatever they can to offer services and alternatives to those contemplating an abortion. Ironically, it’s the same churches, not the abortion providers, who are there for those who want help after an abortion experience. Where are abortion supporters when a woman changes her mind?

After receiving an apology from the pharmacy, Silva replied, “Sorry is not going to cut it. I’m going to have to deal with this a long time.” Mareena Silva is one victim of a very sad, regrettable mistake and as far as I see it, so are those who choose abortion.

Fortunately for both, there are people to turn to for support.

that influences choice. What happens when this changes? A man who once considered his pregnant girlfriend to be carrying a blob of tissue may later recognize himself as a father.

What changed? His perspective. Consider a woman who, at the time of her abortion, truly believes she is making the best decision she can for herself. That belief can change years down the road and she may regret her decision. Studies and statistics may differ in how they report the experiences of postabortive women. Yet, the rise in post-abortion counseling, Jess is a senior majoring in groups and services suggest university studies.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Estate tax repeal: A bad idea The estate tax has been an important source of revenue for the federal government, in one form or another, since 1916.

Once again, the GOP is stepping up its calls to make tax cuts (for the rich) permanent, and is aggressively promoting a repeal of the estate tax. The estate tax, now dubbed the 'Death Tax' by neo-conservatives, affects only the very richest of Americans -- and then only the heirs of multimillionaires and billionaires.

As if it really matters. The decedent is not affected at all by the estate tax, since he or she is now pushing up daisies; only his or her heirs may be affected by the estate tax.

I'm not so sure the over-

whelming majority of Americans have any interest in perpetuating what has become an aristocracy of overwhelming wealth, power and influence.

So one might ask, "Why tax inheritors of large fortunes?"

Because it's still an important source of federal revenue.

Conservatives deceitfully portray the estate tax as a 'death tax' on small familyowned businesses. The fact of the matter is that less than 1 percent of the people that inherit an estate pay any estate tax at all, and half of the revenue from that tax comes from estates valued at $10 million or more. As the estate tax law is now constituted, only an individual inheriting more than $5 million (couples, $10 million)

will pay the estate tax. The current inheritance tax on estates is 35 percent, but only on the amount exceeding $5 million ($10 million for couples).

The consequence of repealing the estate tax is this: The loss in federal revenue would be staggering -- an estimated $680 billion over the next decade. This loss of revenue, combined with the tax reductions on unearned income, is going to bring us to the point of no return; adding further to our national debt is unsustainable. We may have already reached that point of no return.

Protesting Westboro Baptist Church HILLARY CLIFTON Contributing Writer

Initially when I got the request on Facebook for the Westboro Baptist Church protest I disregarded it and clicked “not attending.” But over the past week I have heard rumors about this event, and I became intrigued, so I went to this church’s website that everyone told me not to go to. The smut and filth radiated off the page within the first two seconds of being loaded.

I am not sure how these people can preach the word of God and then have this type of blasphemy written all over their website. If you are not faRylee is a junior majoring in miliar with this church’s miscomunication.

Their upcoming protest will be Feb. 20 at Fargo South High School. The school took on “The Laramie Project” for the spring play: a factual depiction of the events that lead up to the murder of Mathew Shepard (a gay student at the University of Wyoming).

The death of Mathew Shepard happened over 10 years ago, but since then, books, movies and plays have been written about the horrific tragedy. Whether you support the gay community or not, this

tragedy and what these “peaceful protesters” are going up against is not something to be taken lightly. We should have the utmost respect when talking about issues like this and realize that this human being was a victim of a hate crime.

The church’s website justifies these protests by saying these soldiers are those, “whom God has killed in righteous judgment against an evil nation.” It angers me to such a high degree that this community believes they have any right to enter a funeral.

Approximately $3 million dollars get dispersed in varying percentages to several different NDSU entities through student activity fees each year. Now this money goes to all sorts of things, such as student government, Bison athletics, and the Memorial Union. If I had a say in where I would like this money to go, I would remain fairly faithful to the current system. However, I would have a “student mental health” fund. This would be set-aside money to fund a student-friendly environment. For example, I would install various fish tanks around campus with a variety of tropical fish all themed to “Finding Nemo.” I would have campus bikes that would always be available to you in your lastminute rush to the Physics test located on the other side of campus. I would also hire experts in balloon art to be positioned around campus and offer free balloon animals to stressed students walking by. We could all use a little fun relaxation in our stressful lives. Plus this would spice up the rather monotonous list of current uses. Though this is not an extensive list, this is a rough look at what this fund would be aimed at doing. On second thought, maybe I will leave the financial planning to student government.

BRIANNA EHLEY, Editor-in-Chief

Student organizations deserve more funding from the student activity fee. The student activity fee is broken into 10 separate funds. Last year, the student group fund, which allocates funding to student organizations, received $371,900. That is quite a bit of money, however, student organizations are still refused funding for modest and practical requests. I recently spoke with a student senator who told me about an organization that came to a senate meeting to ask for a travel reimbursement of less than $400. The organization was refused funding after a 30minute argument over a guideline technicality.

The senator told me that the student senate spent an unnecessary amount of time grilling the organization’s representative and then eventually voted unaminously to refuse funding to the organization.

Why are student organizations being turned down inexpensive funding for projects or events that could potentially better the campus community? If a student organization takes the time to attend a senate meeting and make a reasonable proposal, they should have the opportunity to get that requested funding approved. The organizations that are asking for funding are made up entirely of students who are paying the activity fee. So, there is no reason that a reasonable, well-thought out funding request should be rejected. If there isn’t enough money in the student groups fund to benefit campus organizatins, that should be changed.

Where would you like to see your student activity fees allocated?

EMILY HANSON, A&E Editor When I first read the question, my initial thought was "what the heck are student activity fees even used for?"

After researching what our activity fees go toward, I have decided that the fees are used quite sufficiently. The largest portion of student activity fees goes toward athletic events and the use of the Memorial Union. It's a perk that students can attend Bison sporting events without the hassle of paying for each game individually. It's also a perk that students have access to the Union and its features, including the bowling ally, pool hall and more. Student activity fees also go toward student groups and Campus Attraction activities. When you think about it, students have the opportunity to join numerous student groups without having to pay direct fees.

Not only that, but students can attend CA events, essentially for free. The rest of the student activity fees go toward fine arts, the Board of Student Publications, student government, Thunder Radio, recreation and intramurals, and special projects.

I think our student activity fees cover a diverse array of activities, and I was honestly quite pleasantly surprised at all the things the fee covers. If you feel that the student activity fees are a waste of money, then I have one piece of advice: get out there and take advantage of all the things NDSU student activity fees cover.

LAURA MUZ, Co-News Editor Currently, I think our student government does a fine job disbursing the over $3 million budget they are given to work with to improve student life on our campus. Because of that fee I pay in my tuition, I can be a part of bison athletic events, use the Wellness Center and its amazing facilities and programs whenever I want (if I want) and I can hang out, do homework, and work in our Memorial Union that contains pretty much anything a student could want. Our campus has some of the finest student facilities and I believe that whether your passion is the arts, athletics or other student groups, the fee allocates a little bit for everyone.

However, I think one piece of the pie that has been missing for a while is a student fee aimed to fund a new library on our campus. While I know this topic is nothing new and is not being ignored, it is still important and should continue to be recognized. Though I am graduating in May and a new library will take years to plan and construct while NDSU has other building issues on their hands, I hope that students of the future will see their fees benefit them in this way. I know my college experience would have been meaningless without my extracurricular activities, but I attended NDSU to be a university student and to get an education, and I think a top-notch library is the number one thing we need to continue to be successful. Go Bison!

My friend and I both ordered a sushi roll. Mine had tuna and his had salmon alongside six pieces of sashimi.

Sashimi is a long and thin piece of fresh, raw fish. Although we ordered these, we didn’t know what kind we were getting since Yuki Hana’s chef just chooses the six freshest types of sashimi to serve.

Although they all tasted fairly good, we had no way of knowing what we were eating. I’d like to return to order a type of sashimi that I particularly

Now is the time

Another slips away RYAN NELSON Contributing Writer

With two beatable teams coming to Fargo and only five games remaining before tournament time, it was another important weekend for the Bison men’s basketball team.

Facing two teams in Western Illinois and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis that the Bison lost to by only a combined eight points earlier this season, they were looking for a little payback.

In game one of the home stand, the Bison met the Western Illinois Leathernecks. WIU beat NDSU 67-62 earlier in the year.

After a strong defensive first half, in which each team shot under 40 percent, the Bison opened up a 14-4 run mid-way through the second half to pick up the win 68-48.

The Bison, who showed strong defensive prowess forcing 18 turnovers, were led by redshirt freshman Taylor Braun with 16-points and nine rebounds. Michael Tveidt and Drew Lundberg were the only other Bison in doublefigures with 10 and 11 respectively.

Matt Lander led the way with 21 points for the Leathernecks, who fell to 7-17 overall, 2-11 in the Summit League. Emeka Okafor Jr., whose cousin plays for the New Orleans Hornets, had 13-points off the bench.

“I thought we had a slow start coming out," Braun said. “We knew Western Illinois plays really tough and physical and we had a hard time getting started, but as the game went on we kind of hit our stride and slowly pulled away."

DANIEL GUNDERSON Sports Editor

North Dakota State athletics has been taking names since it began playing in Division I athletics. You name the sport; we are better than you at it. In football, we’ve been to the quarterfinals. Should’ve been the semifinals, but hey, I’m not bitter about that. Volleyball is a two-time Summit League champion team, and soccer just threw its hat in the NCAA tournament-qualifying ring.

Men’s basketball got some major media publicity in its first year of playoff eligibility.

Now, Woodside, Winkelman and Nelson are a household group of names for the Bison faithful.

Track and field has been in a league of its own, especially the women’s team.

Amy Anderson is an oncein-a-lifetime get for the golf program. Finally, the women’s softball team is another one of those two-time qualifying teams.

Needless to say, if we want to compare ourselves with our three closest schools in athletic success, SDSU, USD and the School Up North, then there is no comparison. We are killing it in Fargo. Everyone, that is, except the baseball team.

We could throw out the plethora of excuses that go with this topic. They practice indoors for the first four months because of the weather. The kids they recruit are not used to playing baseball year-round. They do not play home games until mid-tolate April. Last year, for example, they played 15 of their 52 games at home. You try being successful with that schedule.

Well, I am of the belief that this group of players can be.

Not only that, but they need to be in order to save this program.

Head coach Todd Brown has been at the helm for four years. This is the year that his recruits are seniors and will start producing the way he imagined. This team has two things going for it that you need for building success.

Their fielding is excellent.

They were the second-best fielding team in the Summit League last year at 96 percent, only behind the Jackrabbits.

They only committed 72 errors in the season, another number that coaches have to be impressed with. The way you build great consistency is through defense and pitching.

While the Bison have the fielding part down, the pitching could use some work.

The Bison had the third-best team ERA in the league last year and the number was 6.48.

That tells you two things about the Summit League: One, the teams can knock the crap out of the ball and two, there is a ton of room for improvement.

The hitting is one area they need improvement in, but expect them to get it this year.

Usually, underclassmen do not come in to college ball and start hitting to all parts of the field. It takes some time to get use to a higher level of pitching.

Guys like Zach Wentz, Max Casper and Tyler Steen are now juniors and should be able to carry this team defensively.

Redshirt freshman Taylor Braun throws it down against IUPUI on Saturday, Feb. 12 at the Bison Sports Arena. The Bison lost 76-72 to the Jaguars.

“

We treat every game like it’s a tournament game.

-Head coach Saul Phillips.

The Bison then turned their attention to an up-and-down IUPUI team, who only two games prior handed Oakland their only conference loss of the year. They were fresh off an 8170 loss to South Dakota State.

In a game of streaks, the Bison found themselves up 8 only 5 minutes into the game.

IUPUI turned it around and went on a 37-8 run from there to take a 21-point lead midway through the first half.

When it seemed like it would be a long evening for the Bison, the team turned to Mike Felt, who hit a pair of big three-pointers and the Bison finished the first half on a 16-4 run of their own to find themselves down nine at the break, 45-36.

In the second half, the Bison cut the lead to only two after Felt knocked down another big three. However, the Jaguars were lights out from the free-throw line going 6-6 in the final minute and they hung on for the 76-72 win.

Tveidt led the way with 21- points. Braun, who continues to impress, had 18-points for the Bison, who fell to 13-12 overall, 7-8 in the Summit League.

Reigning Summit League athlete of the month Alex Young had 24-points to lead all scorers. The Jaguars, who improved to 16-11 overall, 10-4 in the Summit League, had two other players score in double digits: Leroy Nobles and Stephen Thomas.

“We treat every game like it’s a tournament game, that’s how we are going to prepare," said head coach Saul Phillips. "So, we are going to try and go out and win each individual game.

We have three games left in the regular season, win all those three and we are in great shape."

The Bison, who currently sit seventh in the conference, have yet to lose a Summit League game by more than nine points.

“It’s frustrating," Tveidt said. "We need to learn how to close these games out."

They will be on the road taking on Oakland and Indiana University- Purdue University Fort Wayne this week before closing out their regular season at home against rival South Dakota State on Feb. 25.

Big Ten vs. Big East JUSTIN TELLINGHUISEN Contributing Writer

Oh how I love college basketball. The madness doesn’t start in March either.

On one Saturday in February, we are gifted with games of Ohio State and Jared Sullinger taking their undefeated record to Madison, Wisc., to play a game against Jordan Taylor and the Wisconsin Badgers.

The best thing is that it wasn’t even the feature game of the day, but that’s also where

the problem lies.

Everybody seems to believe the Big East is a better conference than the Big Ten for basketball. Wrong!

Yeah, the Big East conference has some really good teams, and many of the games are broadcast on ESPN. That doesn't mean they are any better than the Big Ten. The Big Ten could be even better if Purdue's Robbie Hummel would not have retorn his ACL. If Michigan State was playing like Michigan State instead of the Bad News Bears,

the Big Ten would have four or possibly five top-25 ranked teams.

The Big East has 16-teams to choose from; five of those teams do not even have a winning record.

Compare that to the Big Ten, who only have two of their 11teams under .500 and those two teams being conference doormats Indiana and Iowa.

You always hear the playby-play announcers on the tube exclaiming, “You can never take a night off when you play in the Big East.”

True, but what is more true is

you cannot take a night off in college basketball no matter what conference you play in.

Sure, the Big East has a stockpile of teams in the top 25, but that does not mean they are a better conference for basketball.

The Big East may qualify more teams, but only because 16 reside in the conference.

For the NCAA tournament, the Big 10 will qualify an equal percentage of teams. Last year, the Big East qualified 37.5 percent of their conference.

The Big 10 qualified 36.6

percent of its conference.

The Big East will struggle in the tournament, as they always do.

In last year’s tournament, of the six Big East teams that qualified, four lost in the first round.

Compare this to the Big Ten in the tournament, who had four teams qualify, three of which won their first-round games.

The Big East does not look like the powerhouse everybody claims it to be.

Welcome to college basketball and all of its madness.

Bison roundup Track and Field Both the men’s and women’s track and field teams were in Ames, Iowa for the Iowa State Classic. After a very successful meet a week ago in Fargo, the Bison looked to build on that momentum in Ames.

TRAVIS The women didn’t enjoy the same success as they did last JONES weekend, but set a handful of Contributing school records. Christine (BruWriter ins) Schmaltz took second in the 800 meters with a time of 2:07.14, which is also the second-best time in North Dakota State history. Brittany Schanandore also recorded a personal best in the 800 with a time of 2:07.83.

The 4x400 relay finished fourth overall. The relay consists of Whitney Carlson, Antoinette Goodman, Christine (Bruins) Schmaltz and Brittany Schanandore.

The men’s team had almost an identical story as the women’s: no individual medalists, but they did update the record book.

Travis Fitzke moved to fourth on North Dakota State’s all-time record in the mile run as he finished fifth with a time of 4:06.94.

Eric Stroh finished the 800-meter run with a time of 1:51.46, which was good for ninth place.

The Bison will not have a meet this weekend, as they will be hosting the Summit League Championships at the Bison Sports Arena Feb. 27-28.

Looking to finish strong TRAVIS JONES Contributing Writer

NDSU closes out its regular season road games this week, as they will be traveling to Rochester, Mich. on Thursday to battle with the Summit League leading Oakland Golden Grizzlies.

Saturday, they will be in Fort Wayne, Ind. to take on the Indiana Purdue- Fort Wayne Mastodons.

Oakland (18-9, 13-1) has four players averaging in double figures, most notably NBA

draft prospect Keith Benson.

Benson averages a doubledouble, 17.4-points and 10-rebounds per game, both team highs.

Redshirt Junior Reggie Hamilton is the team’s secondleading scorer as he is averaging 16.7-points per game.

The first meeting between these two teams was a tough loss for NDSU, 76-83, the game in which Saul Phillips instructed the student section to boo a certain official that did not see eye-to-eye with the coach.

IPFW (16-9, 9-5) is a very

good offensive team, with four players averaging double figures.

Sophomore Frank Gaines and senior Ben Botts are the two scoring leaders for IPFW as they average 14.3 and 14.2points per game respectively.

Gaines is also the team’s leading rebounder, grabbing 5.9 per game.

In the previous meeting of these two teams, IPFW came to Fargo and grabbed an 8480 victory over the Bison on Jan. 20.

NDSU (13-12, 7-8) is looking to head in to the Summit

League Tournament with some confidence away from home, something they’ve lacked all season.

Michael Tveidt is still the leading scorer for the Bison with 15.2-points per game.

Marshall Bjorklund will be hoping to equal his success against Oakland. In their previous meeting, Bjorklund had 21-points and eight-rebounds.

With three games remaining, there is not much time to work out the kinks before the Summit League Tournament starts.

Wrestling The Bison traveled to Brookings on Thursday to take on South Dakota State. Of the 10-matches, NDSU placed first in eight of them as they cruised to an easy 43-7 victory.

South Dakota State forfeited the first match and the Herd never looked back from there.

Geoff Martin (141) pinned his opponent after recording eight takedowns in the match.

Drew Ross (197) recorded NDSU’s second pin, his tenth, to notch a victory. Other wrestlers who were victorious for the Bison were as follows: Justin Solberg (133), Mark Erickson (149), Vince Salminen (157), Steven Monk (165), Kenny Moenkedick (184), Trent Sprenkle (125).

Softball The Bison softball team traveled to Los Angeles for the Stacy Winsberg Memorial Tournament this past weekend. The Bison went 1-4 in the five games, with their only win coming against Central Florida 2-1 on Sunday.

The first game against San Diego State saw the Bison lose in the seventh when Whitney Johnson gave up a solo shot to Lorena Klopp.

The Bison lost the next three, two of them to the number-one team in the country: UCLA. The win against UCF on Sunday was made possible by good defense. The Herd had only one hit, but scored two runs.

The Golden Knights, who committed four errors as a team, had eight hits but only put one across the board.

The Herd's next trip is to Athens, Ga. for the Georgia Softball Classic Feb. 18-20.

<< Time from Page 8 I like the sixth-place picking for this team because it gives them motivation to prove people wrong. I want them to prove me wrong because this is my favorite sport. I love watching baseball. I’ll be in

attendance for their limited amount of home games, but it is up to this team to start getting better so they can put more than just me in the stands.
