The

Biofuel car sets a land speed record

BY KATRIEL WILKES staff writer

A collaboration from the Colleges of Engineering, Science and Agriculture rolled out onto the Bonneville Salt Flats earlier this month.

An Aggie-�blue biofuel streamliner set the land speed record in the small-�engine class petroleum-�fuel diesel streamliner division in the World of Speed event held at the flats on Sept. 10. The car’s top speed was marked at 64.4 mph.

The car ran off of a special biofuel made from yeast. The project start-� ed six years ago, when the colleges came together and decided to tackle an alternative fuel source to help the transportation sector get away from foreign oil, according to Lance Seefeldt, a professor in the biochem-� istry department. “We discovered the fuel behaved beautifully,� Seefeldt said. “There really are superior fuels that are as good as fuel that you would get at the pump.�

Seefeldt said the team went to the flats hoping they could learn how to improve the car they had finished building only two days before. The car passed the safety inspection and they were able to run it on the speed-� way.

Around six months ago, the team developed a biofuel they could pro-� duce regularly on a large scale. Alex McCurdy, a third-� year graduate student, has been working to develop the biofuels.

McCurdy produced a fuel that could be produced quickly, Seedfeldt said.

Seefeldt said the biofuel is amaz-� ing because it leaves a lower carbon footprint than diesel from the pump. “The emissions are so much cleaner than regular diesel fuel,� he said. “It’s just really impressive. The more important feature is that it is

renewable. We can make it here at home from waste material that we already have.�

To make the fuel, the team took leftover waste from cheese produc-� tion and fed it to yeast. The yeast produces a simplified molecule used in the chemistry to create biofuel, McCurdy said.

“We take a waste product that’s cheap, basically free, and turn it to biofuel,� he said.

Although they weren’t aa used this year, McCurdy said his team has created three different biofuels in the lab. “One is made from bacteria, one made from yeast and one made

from algae. It just happened we could produce yeast more profi-� ciently in a larger quantity,� he said.

McCurdy said the scaled-�up pro-� duction was about 1000 times more than the first small vial of fuel they were able to make. “It was a lot of years and a lot of research and that wasn’t all that long

Students from all sides gear up for presidential election

BY ALLIE HENDRICKS staff writer

As the 2012 presidential election approach-� es, USU students are finding ways to get involved — no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re on.

Mike McPhie, a senior majoring in law and constitutional studies and a member of the College Democrats, said he puts a lot of energy and emphasis on getting students registered to vote. “We helped around 200 people register to vote, and we expect many more,� he said.

This is McPhie’s first semester back at USU after interning in Washington, D.C., where he studied public policy while interning at the Healthcare Leadership Council. “My experiences there were phenomenal.

I've been very interested in bringing back a lot of the things I learned and observed while at the nation's capitol,� he said.

People often tell him that one person can't make a difference in politics. He said there may even be some truth to that, but it is still critically important to be involved. “It’s easy to become disillusioned and cynical about politics, but when more people become aware and active, they are truly capa-� ble of making things better in their communi-� ties, states and ultimately the country,� he said.

McPhie said does quite a bit of independent research in order to keep up to date with the political world. He has met several candidates running for office in the state and has been fol-� lowing and promoting their campaigns.

American citizens have unique rights and privileges and to take them for granted is tragic, he said. “One vote might be a small measure, but the exercise of civic duty goes much further,�

McPhie said. “Democracy hinges on the par-� ticipation of the people.�

Students don't have to run for Congress to

be involved, he said. They can read a newspa-� per, write a letter to their congressman, take a political science course and vote in November. “Regardless of your background, your major, what you know, your level of interest or your ideology, being politically active is rewarding,� he said. “The only way your voice doesn't mat-� ter is if you don't do anything. Students have proven time and time again that they can be a driving political force, and we're in a great position to do it again.�

Nathaniel Johnson, a senior majoring in political science, worked full-�time as an intern for the Chris Stewart for Congress campaign for nearly eight months.

He helped plan events such as cottage and town hall meetings and fundraising events, including two events with Glenn Beck. He made phone calls for the campaign, helped with advertising and regularly attending meet-� ings where strategy, finances and policy were discussed. “Being aware and informed of who candi-� dates are is critical for voters to elect high cali-� ber representatives,� he said. “For the past nine months I have done just that — helped voters know more about my candidate.�

Natalie Brisighella, a junior majoring in political science, is on the executive board for the USU College Democrats. “Our focus as a club is to create more political awareness and activity on campus and around the Cache Valley community,� she said.

She said each member of the College Democrats is involved for their own personal reasons, and they do not necessarily expect anyone else to agree with their views. “We understand that politics may be a heat-� ed issue for many, and that's why so many col-� lege students shy away,� she said. “Instead, the USU College Democrats simply want students to become more informed about the issues, participate and vote in local politics.�

The club says it is highly important for the community to know exactly who and what they're voting for when election day comes. “We're not focused on who they vote for, but just that they vote.� Brisighella said.

Brisighella said she believes one of the larg-� est concerns amongst students is voter apathy —s ome students just don't care when it comes to politics. Because they live in a red state, many Democratic-�leaning students don't feel like their vote counts in the election so they simply don't vote, she said. “Whether you vote blue or red or any other color in this coming election, your vote mat-� ters,� said Brisighella. “You are one more stu-� dent with a voice.�

Oakley Nelson, a junior majoring in political science, served as a legislative intern for Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. The intern-� ship led to the opportunity for him to serve in the Office of Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert during this past summer, he said. “Some may say, ‘Sure, you helped put up signs and coordinate a county or state candi-� date race, but that's not really a big deal.’� he said. “I take a sense of pride in knowing that I have reached out and made a difference in the future of what my generation will have to look forward to when we take the reins of various areas of leadership in both the public and pri-� vate sectors.

Jorge Cabrera, a senior majoring in political science, is the USU campus coordinator for the Scott Howell for Senate campaign and a volun-� teer for the USU College Democrats.

His duties for the Howell campaign include getting the student body interested and involved with the campaign, locating interns and volunteers and organizing events for them to attend, assisting with phone banking and canvassing efforts and helping host candidate events in Logan, Cabrera said. “We've been able to spread not only the word on the Howell campaign but about the democratic ideals and the voting process,� he said. “To me, that's a huge thing,� he said. “That means 43 more votes out there for the grab and two more helping bodies.� – abhendrix@pentaracorp.com

SPEED: Students create new fuel using waste products From page 1 when they lined up with the other cars. “Our car had a consistent crowd around it,� he said. “I didn’t see any other cars that had a consistent crowd around it.�

Seefleldt said people were also surprised how little money they had spent on making the car. “This car project was done on a shoestring,� he said. “We’ve all donated time, because it’s our pas-� sion.�

The car was unique in design because it was custom-�made and because the diesel-�generator engine and transmission were visible from the back, according to Morgan. “They announced over the PA that it smelled like someone was baking bread,� Morgan said. “The fuel made out of yeast has a really distinct smell.�

Seefeldt said next year the team wants to go back to the salt flats and do some more passes with algae, yeast and bacteria.

McCurdy said they will definitely be able to run the car with biofuel from algae in the near future.

Seefeldt said the separate teams are working to achieve common goals. “There are two teams of engi-� neers working on car upgrades, specifically the aerodynamics and transmission,� Morgan said.

Seefeldt said as the team further develops the streamliner, they want to continue using fuels that may feasibly be produced commercially. “Our goal right now is just to go faster,� He said. “We want to push the envelope and break 100 miles per hour.�

Seedfeldt said the key to the proj-� ect was the combined efforts of the three departments. “Collaboration is what drives us,� he said. “The biggest feat of this ven-� ture is that fact that we’re working together. You don’t see that in the world today.�

Morgan said their collaboration efforts are now expanding to out-� side companies who want to be a part of this effort to create alterna-� tive fuel sources. “We are going to be on the front-� lines,� he said. – katrimw@gmail.com

Aviation adjusts to new home

BY LEANN FOX

staff writer After years in the College of Engineering, the aviation department is finding their home in a place some students wouldn’t guess — the College of Agriculture.

Last January, the aviation department offi-� cially decided on the move. aviation now falls under the department of agricultural sciences and technology education. “USU has the upper hand when it comes to aviation,� said Tyler Grange, a student majoring in aviation.

The transition has been a smooth one, according to Lawrence Hemingway, a lecturer in the department. He said ASTE is a better fit than the the College of Engineering. “We are nine months in and couldn’t be happier,� Hemingway said. “We have received great support for our mission.�

According the department’s website, the mission includes “preparing, educating and enhancing the professional development of stu-� dents' industry skills, attitudes, and knowledge of aircraft maintenance, flight operations and A PLANE FROM THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT is displayed on the Quad management.�

Hemingway said the College of Agriculture has created an inviting environment for the department’s adjustment. “It’s like a family,� he said. “They just opened up and received us like we were one of them.�

Hemingway said one of the reasons aviation fits better into ASTE is because the College of Engineering was extremely research-�focused, while flying is research and practically focused.

One of the goals of the program is to teach stu-� dents skills that will make them industry-�ready, according to the website.

Students in aviation take classes in weather, electricity, maintenance and management.

They are trained in the latest instrument and navigation technology, Hemingway said.

By using USU’s Redbird All-�Glass Cockpit Flight Simulator, students gain experience they need to prepare them for real situations, Hemingway said.

In addition to better training, students have more ability to pay for school because of the financial opportunities the College of Agriculture provides, said Colleen Larkin, a student in the aviation department.

Find a spiritual path, Ohio professor tells students

BY ALLIE HENDRICKS

staff writer

With a room packed to capacity, students sat on and even under tables to listen to Dinty Moore, director of the creative writing program at Ohio University, speak in the Merrill-�Cazier Library audi-� torium Thursday afternoon. “He talked about Buddhism, but he was very even handed with all religions,� said Kendall Pack, a senior majoring in in English. “He just very much wants people to find a spiritual path. As long as you find a spiritual path and you have com-� passion for other people, then you can be a great artist.�

Moore, who converted to Buddhism as an adult, said as long as students find their spiritual purpose in life, other decisions they have to make will fall into places. “I don’t care if you watch Adventure Time on the Cartoon Network, as long as you find a spiri-� tual path to follow,� he said.

Moore said people have often asked him how his Buddhist beliefs have affected his writing and he has never had a good answer. One day, he realized he couldn’t give a straight answer because he had been looking at his situation back-� wards. “My lifelong pursuit of writing and creativity has helped to open me to the path of Buddhism,� he said.

During his lecture, Moore intro-� duced his new book, “The Mindful Writer: Noble Truths of the Writing Life.� “Mindfulness begins with an awareness of the simplest action,�

Moore said. “Breathing in, know that you are breathing in, breathing out know that you are breathing out.�

In the context of writing, mind-� fulness means that people are able to remain attentive to the task at hand, he said. They see the words that are before them and hear the possibilities in their minds, he said. “More than that, mindfulness in writing means being aware of why you want to write, who you are writing for, and how to balance your desires for recognition with the demands of clear-�headedness and honesty,� he said.

Moore said writer’s block is sim-� ply worrying about critical respons-� es or negative reaction. Worrying about these critical responses and negative reactions while you’re trying to form your thoughts will eventually, inevitably, dry up what-� ever creative flow you managed to bring forth.

He came to understand the importance of examining his motives for writing — of rooting out insincerity. “Dishonest motives, such as writing to get back at someone who wronged you or pretending to be more decent or more devout on the

Alumnus brings joy to dentistry

BY NATASHA BODILY

features editor Colorful Love Sacs, exercise balls and ornamental but-� terflies adorn the interior of Dr. Doug’s Pediatric dentistry.

Purple, pink, blue and green colors welcome patients as soon as they enter the building.

Some children do not look forward to visits to the dentist’s office. They might imagine a sterile environment, drab col-� ors and a sore mouth. But at Dr. Doug’s, kids can get their teeth cleaned and have a fun, comforting experience.

Dr. K. Douglas Fryer, DDS, MS, opened his office almost eight years ago after a few years of private practice work in Ohio, where he earned his doc-� torate at Ohio State University.

He also worked in offices in Utah.

A USU graduate, Fryer said he grew up in Utah and met his

wife Melody during his under-� graduate studies. “We are True Aggies,� he said.

After completing his residen-� cy and working as an associate professor at the OSU, Fryer said he and Melody decided to return to Cache Valley in part because they loved their colle-� giate careers at USU. He said he ran track doing the 400-�meter and 400 hurdles and remains a track fan.

From his previous work in private practices, Fryer said he became very aware of the unin-� viting and sterile environment of many offices. “I think the environment plays a huge part in how well they do and how they come to think of the dentist,� he said. “We do hard things that aren’t always the most pleasant.

We try to keep things positive so when kids get older, they

will be less nervous and more inclined to have regular dentist visits.�

Fryer said when he and his wife first decided to open the office, they had a design in mind that would be warm and comforting where the kids could feel at ease. “So it’s not such a cold and sterile feeling,� he said.

He said they chose colors that are fun and pleasant rather than bright and stark. “There are a lot of differ-� ent shapes and designs,� Fryer said. “Even the windows on the doors are different colors. We have circular windows that we can see in and out of. The win-� dows help the office feel less confined.� “We also have TV’s on the ceiling so the kids can watch TV and we play children’s music,� he said. “Parents often ask if they mind listening to

that kind of music all day, every day. But, for the most part, they almost don’t hear it anymore.�

In addition to the decora-� tions and color scheme, the office has an employee who stays out in the front lobby to interact with the children and help out. “We have kids bring their siblings, so parents don’t neces-�

sarily have to have a babysit-� ter,� Fryer said. “They keep the kids at ease so there isn’t a whole lot of anticipation. They go out and interact with them and then invite them in where they do cleanings and other procedures.�

According to drdougsmall-� smiles.com, there are several different procedures offered.

From regular six-�month check-� ups and cleanings to sedation dentistry, Fryer said they like to make the experience a fun and positive one for the children. “Extra special care is given to small children in order to per-� form a thorough check up and toothbrush cleaning,� the site states.

Staying in shape on campus

BY CALE PATTERSON staff writer

With summer ending and the weather getting colder, many students are head-� ing indoors for recreation.

USU provides several programs to help students meet their fitness needs, including CrossFit, Fun, Fit, Forever and intramu-� ral sports.

Many students partici-� pate in CrossFit, which is a strength and conditioning program whose goal is to deliver a broad and gener-� al fitness experience that is also non-�specific. From tire-�throwing and rope Shalayna Guisao junior, vocal performance

climbing to stair climbing and swimming workouts, the program implements several exercises designed to increase the fitness level of the participant, regardless of their level of experience. “It’s a different workout every day, so it’s nice and fun and different,� said Aubrie Tilley, a junior majoring in pre-�nursing. “I like the structure and the consistency. Anyone can do it, too. There are gym-�rats and beginners and it gives both a work-� out.�

Many Aggies in the CrossFit program also experience a sense of camaraderie as they par-� ticipate, which can lead to increased motivation and satisfaction. “I hate it, but I love it.� said Tilley. “It’s really hard, but then I want to go every day because I survived. I know that my little CrossFit family will be there too so it moti-� vates me to go as well.� “I love how we’re all like a family and everyone sup-� ports each other to reach their fitness goals,� said Lindsey Ames, a junior majoring in international agricultural business. “It kicks your trash, but the trainers are also super encouraging and make sure you’re being safe. I like that it’s challenging though. I don’t feel like I just wasted an hour at the gym.�

CrossFit classes are held in the Fieldhouse Monday through Thursday with class sessions at 5:15 p.m., 6:15 p.m. and 8:15 p.m.

The cost for students is $65 per semester.

Fun, Fit, Forever is a program that offers a wide range of activities, all covered with one $30 fee.

Students can participate

in a number of classes such as spinning, yoga, zumba, water aerobics, kickboxing and power sculpting. Most classes are offered several times in intervals throughout the day. The earliest classes are offered at 6:30 a.m. with the latest ones start-� ing at 7:30 p.m. “My favorite part about the Fun, Fit Forever pro-� gram is the scheduling,� said Shalayna Guisao, a junior majoring in vocal performance. “It’s flex-� ible and works around my schedule. It’s great because if I have time between my regular classes, I can work out if I want to.�

The yoga class is a stretching, toning and bal-� ance class also meant to test and increase strength and endurance.

Guisao has been partici-� pating in several classes offered through Fun, Fit, Forever. She said yoga is relaxing. “It’s a balance of work-� ing out and releasing stress from classes,� she said. “I think that it’s awe-� some. It gives you a vari-� ety of a workout. It makes you look at movement in a different way.�

Water aerobics com-� bines similar techniques used in running, walking, doing jumping jacks or even cross country skiing.

It offers a non-�impacts workout coupled with high resistance. “Do not underestimate water aerobics,� Guisao said. “It’s intense but fun.

It’s like a battle with the water, but every day you end up winning. Even though you feel like Jello when you get out of the water, you also feel like you accomplished some-� thing. The trainers are also really motivational and help you to push your-� self.�

Guisao said her favorite program is Zumba, an aer-� obic dance routine origi-� nating from Columbia.

The class is described as being designed to make exercise fun. “The other day the instructor turned out the lights and turned on a strobe light for class, so it just felt like you were at a dance party,� Guisao said. “It’s intense but fun. It doesn’t even feel like you are working out. There are also no judgments –– any-� one can come.�

The spinning classes are designed to give intense cardiovascular workouts, and the power sculpting classes are more for mus-� cle toning.

There are also many intramural sports offered for fall, including flag football, soccer, volleyball, 3-�on-�3 basketball, soccer, dodgeball and tennis.

Before I begin to ooze my frustrations over to you, general public, I need to preface something important. I love my job. Honestly. All things considered, it’s a pretty rocking gig. Few people get to do what I do and I’d like to think, as Will Smith once versed, “I make this look good.�

However, in the columnists’ flowing field of chocolate strawberries, there happens to be a small handful of sour grapes. I say this understanding there are much worse occupations in the world that face painstaking issues. To this I say, “Yeah, but‌â€? and sigh heavily.

Most being-a-columnist-is-a-tough-life related irritants I can generally deal with, but there is one of late that irks me passed my irking capacity to the point of becoming quite an irk-tastrophie.

It generally goes like this. I meet a bystander, exchange pleasantries, make some verbal note about being a columnist and then, fatefully, to my longing demise I hear, “Oh, you’re a writer — can you help me with my English paper?�

Believe it or not, free-voting world, we journalists hate writing papers just as much as you. The worlds of publication style and professional style writing are akin to comparing a fry cook with a hummus merchant — just about as much alike as they are different. Try if you must, but chances are anyone

outside of Lisa Simpson doesn’t get all up in jollies simply because words are being put on paper.

That being said, I consider myself a generous man, and I understand that you, like me, have never once said, “You know what would be much more fun than a ‘Family Matters’ marathon? Citing things scholarly!� So perhaps I will be helping a fellow comrade in the process.

I may not have all the ins and outs on research papers and because there is nothing I can do about the fact that you will be docked a large percentage because your English professor disagrees with your personal stance on veganism anyway — what can I say? Teachers love their lettuce. The least I can do is help you with your research-paper vocabulary.

The following are a list of words that I feel will make your paper a deadlock whether or not you or your professor know what they mean. “Furthermore� — Use of this godsend tool, the act of which I call “dropping the f-more� is fascinating in that it makes everything you just said credible. You can go on about how the Beagles from “Ducktales� were the most entertaining super villains in children’s television history — which is false as they fall very short to Shredder, don’t mess — but a stern follow up of “Furthermore, we see how that correlates television to the believers of a more Keynesian economy,� will credit you as a literary genius with ease. “Notwithstanding� – Need a word or phrase to help you say “all kinds of jelly except for marmalade� in a way that will give you status as a culinary soothsayer? You just found it. “Foster� — Come on, readers, no overlyeducated person ever

“embraces� something, and only a select few will ever “implement� something, but you better believe all of the green tongues you’ve contracted from a Reptar Bar that any smarty-pants will be sure to “foster� anything you throw at them. Trust me — as far as cause and effect is concerned, they will eat this word up. “Couscous� — Every writing professor loves a good metaphor, and while you are laying such out you might as well make them hungry. Make sure you make the food as obscure as possible as a professor has most likely never heard of macaroni. Good fallbacks: couscous, tapenade and anything soaked in au jus. “Wherewithal� — This is simply a gold mine. If you have the wherewithal you’ll see what I mean.

Finally: Anything preceded by “i.e.� — The power and authority of those two ambitious letters is nearly impenetrable. They seem to accomplish just about everything you would ever look to attain in your authorship travels.

Need to form examples in an effort to look like you know what you are talking about? Check.

Looking to incorporate words without having to define them? Done.

Need a literary habanero to spice up that illpositioned parenthesis? It doesn’t get hotter than the i.e. If you look to do anything to build your paper to preeminence, heed this council and you will go from zero to paid research assistant in record time.

With that, voila, a stalwart vernacular sure to imbue to Mr. Feeny in all of us. You’re welcome.

And no, I don’t know how to use a semicolon.

Stop asking. – steve.schwartzman@ aggiemail.usu.edu

DENTIST: Kids are less anxious From page 4 the patients through the process.

Fryer gives dental advice for children and their parents via appointments and on the website. He said parents should brush their toddlers teeth at least twice a day and begin flossing when their teeth start to touch each other.

Some parents aren’t sure when to take their children to their first dental appointment. According to

the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, parents should take their children in for a check up sometime between the time their first tooth grows in and their first birthday. “Dentistry for kids has come a long way,� he said. “Kids don’t need to be nervous and have the same anxiety their parents might have.� – natashabodily@gmail.com

Extending the four-�year plan

BY NATASHA BODILY

features editor The traditional student begins college as a 17-�19 year old who has recently graduated high school.

Most advisors will set up a four-�year plan with stu-� dents in order for them to graduate on time. Despite this expectation, many students take much longer than four years to finish due to major changes, life events and credit-�transfer problems. Students who have passed the four-�year mark are often labeled as “super seniors.� Shawn Koga, a senior majoring in photography, is currently a sixth-�year student. He said he didn’t know what to major in when he start-� ed his freshman year. “I took a lot of classes

Koga said the social scene didn’t dramatically change for him because most of his friends went on missions so he will still be graduating with a lot of them. “I’ve just noticed that the people we hang out HU *RRGV ‡ 5HVXPHV with tend to be younger, QJ ‡ 'LVVHUWDWLRQV or closer to our age,� he said. “Rather than older, Done like theyRIGHT! were before they left.�

It moved to Salt Lake recently and their sales have been booming,� he said. “Hopefully by the time I graduate they’ll be doing enough business that I can go work for them.�

Koga said he doesn’t think students who take longer than the tradition-� al four years are looked at as bad. “I’ve always said slow and steady wins the race,�

After graduation, Constandse said he plans to teach, but if he can’t find a teaching job, he’ll keep working in Logan and possibly apply to law school.

She said something hap-� pened with the scheduling of that class and it was no

As a student gets older and the incoming fresh-� man get younger, the social scene can evolve dramatically.

She said after gradu-� ation she will either get a job or go to graduate school, but is leaning toward getting a job. “But who knows? I’m a girl and can change my mind at any moment,�

Jones said.

Despite some of the annoyances of postponing graduation, she said there is one good thing about still being a student. “I can still get into the football and basketball games, which are my absolute favorite activities to go to,� she said.

Aggies deserve salute for speed record Recently, scientists and engineers at USU broke a land speed record in a missile-shaped vehicle running on biofuel made from bread and cheese. Since news headlines often omit the words “a� and “the�, unwary readers might believe the student-built streamliner approached the absolute land speed record of 764 miles per hour.

The USU streamliner, alas, An Editorial Opinion went a bit slower than your typical rocket-propelled dragster. The “Aggie A-Salt� streamliner was clocked at 64.4 miles per hour at the World of Speed 2012 event.

It went 64 miles per hour? That can’t be right. We have cars that can drive 64 miles per hour, and we’re only poor college students. The USU vehicle broke the record for the small-engine class petroleum-fuel diesel streamliner division. That makes more sense. The streamliner had an 870-cubic-centimeter engine, much smaller than most consumer autos.

A few miles less than the speed limit on most freeways may not sound thrilling, but relatively few people can say they’ve gone that fast in a vehicle they built themselves. The fuel is perhaps even more impressive. The streamliner, running on leftovers from human meals, can beat Usain Bolt’s top speed by more than 30 miles per hour. That’s a lot faster than any of us can run on bread and cheese.

USU’s team is on the right track. Too many alternative-fuel innovations don’t perform well enough to compete with gasoline. Other methods produce fuel from food crops — and when current agricultural practices come under fire for being unsustainable, does it make sense to convert any portion of our food supply into vehicle fuel? The Aggie A-Salt developers are staking out their territory in the middle ground where performance and sustainability overlap.

Future versions of the team’s biofuel may be formulated from algae. Algae is similar to food waste in that we have too much of it. Rain washes fertilizer out of the soil in our yards and farmland and into our rivers. Algae consumes the nutrients in the fertilizer, but it also consumes the oxygen necessary for fish and other aquatic wildlife. For years, USU researchers have been working on a way to turn the algae in our wastewater into fuel for our vehicles — not a bad proposition for Logan City, which is home to some of the nation’s largest wastewater treatment lagoons.

What our school did on the salt flats with a tiny engine and a tiny budget is something to be proud of. We applaud the accomplishments of our fellow students, and we look forward to an Aggie A-Salt streamliner with a top speed that wouldn’t draw the ire of freeway motorists.

What is real leadership? .SVHER ,YRX ASUSU View

The realm of leadership is kind of a weird part of our world. I do not feel comfortable saying, “I’m a leader.� Am I a leader? Is that something I decide?

Are there milestones, merit badges, or some indicator of leadership?

Who hands out the card saying, “Congratulations!

You made it. You are a leader.�?

What is leadership?

Most people would define leadership as influence.

Influence is hallmark of leaders. However, it is not enough to be just be influential, you must also be authentic. Authentic leadership is the premiumgrade fuel of leadership.

Any high-performance machine needs the higher

octane, or it will choke.

What does it take to be an authentic leader?

When you look up the definition of authenticity there are two meanings in use: of the same origin as claimed; genuine, and conforming to reality and therefore worthy of trust, reliance, or belief.

These ingredients are vital for our leaders. A third definition shows up when you search it, but it’s obsolete — having authority. Leadership isn’t the position you hold.

Under traditional leadership ideas, there are a few bosses who tell others, followers, what to do.

This limits the number of leadership opportunities. Leadership is a service. Servant leadership requires character. It is through genuine action that builds trust that we are able to become better leaders.

There aren’t “congratulations� cards for leaders because leaders are never sedentary. Leadership is integral to a successful

community. Our organizations have leadership roles to fill. Every day as our organizations, families and communities grow, leaders seize opportunities to learn.

College is perhaps one of the best opportunities for us to lay a foundation for authentic leadership and a lifetime of service. Aside from the ASUSU positions, you can serve on college councils, the Val R. Christensen Service Center, the HURD Council or in more than a hundred clubs. Outside of ASUSU, you can be involved in undergraduate research, A-Team, the Statesman, Greek life or intramural sports.

Nobody came to watch it.

He posted a 14-minute video excerpt of the movie on YouTube, but hardly anyone noticed. Then, a week ago, an anti-Muslim activist in Virginia reposted the video with an Arabic translation and sent the link to activists and journalists in Egypt. An Egyptian TV show aired part of the video. An Egyptian politician denounced it. Clerics sounded the alarm. Through Facebook and Twitter, protesters were mobilized to descend on the U.S. embassy in Cairo. The uprising spread. The U.S. ambassador to Libya has been killed, and violence has erupted in other countries.

When the protests broke out, the guy who made the movie claimed to be an Israeli Jew funded by other Jews. That turned out be a lie. Now he says he’s a Coptic Christian, even though Coptic Christian leaders in Egypt and the United States despise the movie and want nothing to do with him. Another guy who helped

Tax code unfair to citizens Dorothy Brown

Would you want your tax returns Nat’l m a d e public? The View good news is that federal law prohibits the IRS from releasing them. The bad news is that it is also generally illegal to make anyone else’s returns public, too.

Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, continue to make much of the refusal of Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, to release more than two years’ worth of tax returns. It is all a red herring. The key to bringing fairness to our tax laws would be for all 535 members of Congress, including Reid, to release their returns.

One thing that congressional tax records can tell us is how many members of the House and Senate benefit from the tax breaks they enact. To take one example, if you own stock outside of your retirement account, then you are eligible for the preferential rate of 15 percent.

But if your income is mostly from wages or from the amounts drawn from your retirement account, then your tax rate can be as high as 35 percent. While fewer than one in five Americans have incomes eligible for the 15 percent rate, almost nine in 10 senators do.

This information isn’t easy to obtain.

I had to go through every senator’s financial-aid disclosure form found on OpenSecrets.org and check for stock ownership that wasn’t in retirement accounts. It was a painstaking process, which may understate things because assets owned by members of Congress that are held in blind trusts aren’t required to be included in their financial-disclosure forms.

You shouldn’t have to trust my survey.

The tax returns should be made public so we can all see how often the legislators actually benefit from the 15 percent rate.

The reason so few Americans can benefit from this lower rate is because most of them don’t own stock, or don’t

own it in the right way. About half of all Americans own no stock. Of the half who do, more than two-thirds own it in their retirement accounts, which are ineligible for the 15 percent rate. One reform idea, which was included in the SimpsonBowles commission report in late 2010, is to tax wage and stock income at the same level, which would mean lowering the 35 percent rate while raising the 15 percent rate.

That change would have a negative impact on senators’ wallets, but it would be positive for middle-class Americans.

Does tax-return privacy keep us from getting meaningful reform?

The argument for the low 15 percent rate is that it spurs investment, encourages savings, creates jobs and promotes economic growth. How has that been working for us lately? In reality, U.S. laws encourage only certain types of savings. If I buy stock, I am eligible for the 15 percent rate, but if I put my money in a savings account, I am not. According to estimates in a Joint Committee on Taxation report, $90 billion of revenue will be lost for 2013 because of the 15 percent rate that less than 20 percent of Americans will benefit from.

No member of Congress, Democrat or Republican, has ever introduced the Simpson-Bowles proposal that I described.

The Democratic platform says the party wants a tax code that is fairer and simpler.

Yet when the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the White House, tax reform was not forthcoming.

Democrats and Republicans in Congress do nothing to make our laws fairer for the average taxpayer. If the lawmakers were required to release their returns, would they be more likely to take action? The next step is up to you. The American public must demand not only Romney’s tax records, but the returns of each senator and representative. When members of Congress understand that in order to keep their jobs they must put the financial interests of their constituents above their own, we will get the type of tax system that we deserve.

PROTEST: Don’t empower terrorists

From page 8 don’t censor it. Even if we did, the diffusion of media technology makes suppression impossible. The director of this movie was forbidden, under his bank-fraud probation rules, from using computers or the Internet without approval. That didn’t stop him.

Nor did it stop the Arabic-language distributor from reposting the video and disseminating it abroad.

Online propaganda is speech.

But it’s also part of the global rise of lethal empowerment. It’s easier than ever to kill people. In Muslim countries, mass murderers favor bombs. In the United States, they prefer guns. In Japan, they’ve tried sarin nerve gas. The Oklahoma City bomber used fertilizer. The Sept. 11 hijackers used box cutters and passenger planes. Then came the letters filled with anthrax.

Derision is that much harder to control. The spread of digital technology and Internet bandwidth makes it possible to reach every corner of the globe almost instantly with homemade video defaming any faith tradition.

This isn’t just a Muslim problem, though that’s been the pattern lately.

On YouTube, you can find videos insulting every religion on the planet: Jews, Christians, Hindus, Catholics, Mormons, Buddhists and more.

Some clips are ironic. Others are simply disgusting. Many were posted to bait one group into fighting another.

The baiters are indiscriminate. The promoter of the Muhammad video founded a group that also protests at Mormon temples.

The hatred and bloodshed will go on until you stop taking the bait.

Mockery of your prophet on a computer with an Internet address somewhere in the world can no longer be your master. Nor can the puppet clerics who tell you to respond with violence. Lay down your stones and your anger. Go home and pray. God is too great to be troubled by the insults of fools. Follow Him. – Saletan covers science, technology and politics for Slate.

Occupy Wall Street birthday draws fewer protesters, more arrests

BY ESMÉ E. DEPREZ, MAX ABELSON AND CHRISTINE HARVEY (c) 2012, Bloomberg News.

NEW YORK -� New York City police on Monday arrested 124 Occupy Wall Street protesters celebrating the movement’s first birthday as events drew fewer participants than similar demonstrations in May. Hundreds of marchers took to the streets just after dawn from Lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, the physical birthplace and symbolic heart of the global movement.

Police on foot, motorcycle and horseback trailed them at every turn.

The protests failed to keep the markets from opening as scheduled, though some commuters in the largest U.S. city were inconvenienced as police blocked off parts of the Financial District near the New York Stock Exchange and asked transit officials to close the Broad Street subway station.

Richard Swensson, a 24-�year-�old college graduate, said he missed a job interview. “I couldn’t even get near the building and had to call to say I wouldn’t make it,�

Swensson said in Battery Park. He said he understood the frustrations of the protest-� ers but wished they would “think a little bit more instead of just getting all rallied up.�

Monday’s numbers contrast with Occupy Wall Street’s last major public event, on May 1, which drew tens of thousands of demonstrators across the United States as protesters sang in Manhattan’s Union Square, smashed windows in Seattle and seized a vacant building in San Francisco. In New York, 34 were arrested in the May Day rallies.

Most of Monday’s arrests were for dis-� orderly conduct for impeding vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and follow more than 40 others over the weekend, said Paul Browne, a spokesman for the New York City Police Department. Police are “accommodating lawful protests� and making arrests for

crimes such as blocking traffic, Browne said in an email.

Dozens of police, some in riot helmets, arrested people, including a purple-�cas-� socked bishop, at the Broadway entrance to Wall Street. A man with an acoustic guitar on his back was thrown to the ground by five officers near the intersection of Nassau and Pine streets. Picketers at the plaza at 140 Broadway sang Woody Guthrie’s “Why, Oh Why� with a ukulele. “I’ve been arrested four times now and I’ll get arrested 1,000 times more until we see some change,� said Barry Knight, a 44-�year-� old actor from Massachusetts. “We’re fight-� ing for nothing less than the future of our country. Do you want your kids to grow up in ‘corptocracy’ or in a democracy?�

Members of the movement are seeking to revive the energy and emotion gener-� ated when thousands took to the streets to protest income disparity, corporate greed and the influence of money on politics.

Protesters say the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans benefit at the expense of the rest.

Corporate targets of Monday’s disrup-� tion include the Broadway retail branches of Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase, along with Deutsche Bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Liberty Street and American International Group, according to planning materials.

Events were scheduled in at least 15 other cities, including Asheville, N.C., and Hilo, Hawaii.

Andrew Landau, who works in marketing for a medical evaluation company in New York, called the crowds “a pain in the butt.� “I realize there’s freedom of speech and everything else, but to upset everything on a daily basis and inconveniencing people with the economy being so bad, it affects people going to work,� said Landau, 63. “There are other ways of taking care of this problem without upsetting the whole neighborhood.�

Broadway, said the protests may cost him 10 percent of his daily business.

At a rally at Bowling Green, a group of singers performed a rendition of “Down by the Riverside� with kazoos, a snare drum and trumpet. Around 11:15 a.m., hundreds sat under a cloudless sky in Battery Park for a midday organizing meeting. As indi-� viduals described picketing bank branches, interrupting traffic and losing friends to arrest, the crowd responded with cheers, laughter and whistles. They tossed green balloons and red confetti.

The Occupy anniversary marks a test of the movement after its public presence diminished amid what organizers called flagging interest bordering on burnout.

The movement’s New York City General Assembly, which made decisions for the group by consensus, ceased functioning in

Xiang gave birth Sunday night to a long-awaited cub. She’s shown here in December 2011 after the annoucement that philanthropist David Rubenstein had donated $4.5 million to the Washington zoo for the giant panda program.

WASHINGTON -� The National Zoo’s female giant panda gave birth to a cub Sunday night, stunning and delighting zoo officials and sparking a new wave of panda mania seven years after the zoo’s only other cub was born in 2005.

The cub was born at 10:46 p.m. to Mei Xiang, the zoo said, and curator Becky Malinsky happened to be watch-� ing the 24-�hour-�a-�day panda camera feed and heard the first squealing of the newborn “I got a call . . . a little after 10:45� from a senior curator saying “the behavior watcher just saw a birth,� said Don Moore, associate direc-� tor for animal-�care sciences. “I said, ‘Yeah, yeah, it’s not April Fools’ yet, so I’m going back to bed. ‘ She said, ‘No, no, really. There’s been a panda.

Congratulations.’ “ “I was not believing it,� Moore said Monday. “We gave this a very low per-� centage. We were prepared for another disappointment. . . . We bucked the odds . . . and we’ve got a baby on the ground.� “We’re ecstatic,� he said. “She’s being a very, very good mom. . . . Every time the kid cries, she cradles it in a differ-� ent way. What I’m looking at is really good mothering behavior.�

Moore said the panda camera caught the moment of birth. “She kind of breathes funny and then she jerks her body, and then she stands up and kind of looks at something for just seconds . . . and then picks it up.�

Officials said they have caught only a glimpse of the cub but can hear its “vocalizations� clearly.

Mei Xiang, the National Zoo’s female giant panda, surprised everyone Sunday night by giving birth to a cub. Mei Xiang began exhibiting behavioral signs of pregnancy over Labor Day weekend, and zoo officials conducted ultrasounds. Despite the tests’ inconclusive results, the baby arrived just weeks later. Here’s how it will grow.

Happy surprise: Nat’l Zoo welcomes baby panda

April because of infighting, ineffectiveness and low turnout, according to organizers and minutes of meetings. The group’s funds were frozen to preserve money for bail, end-� ing most cash distributions, they said.

Occupy units across the U.S. coalesced last year to protest high foreclosure and unemployment rates that hurt average Americans while bankers and financial executives received bonuses and taxpayer-� funded bailouts. Similar groups, using social media and other tools, spread around the globe to Europe, Asia and Latin America. Governments responded with concussion grenades, gas, riot gear, pepper spray and arrests.

THREE MONTHS Can stand and walk a little; teeth are erupting; eyesight and hearing improve; suckles 2-3 times a day.

1 year

“It’s very loud,� said Zoo Director Dennis Kelly. “A high pitched, very loud squeal. It’s surprisingly loud for a little critter that’s only the size of a butter stick.�

Kelly said he has not seen the new cub, but he noted that panda cubs look like naked mole rats and weigh about four ounces. “This is still a very, very precarious situation,� he said. “This particular animal is very, very small, and we’re going to watch it very carefully, and we’re going to let Mom take care of it unless we get some indication that something’s wrong. So we’re likely not to see much of her or the cub for about a week.�

At the zoo Monday, some panda fans were overcome with joy. “I’ve been crying all day,� said Holly O’Brien-�Yao, 58, of Falls Church, Va., as she stood outside the roped-�off panda compound.

Tears of joy? “Of course,� she said. “I’ve been praying for something really wonderful to happen to me, and this does it,� she said. “I remember doing it with Tai Shan and how beauti-� ful it was. It makes me feel better. It’s a warm and fuzzy feeling.�

The zoo was buzzing with news, as workers there high-�fived each other outside the compound, which had a sign saying the area was closed. It will remain so for several weeks, and the cub will probably not make a public debut for several months, zoo spokes-� woman Pamela Baker-�Masson said.

Anthea Higgins, 43, of Potomac, Md., who was visiting the zoo with her children, Sean, 8, and Caroline, 6, said the panda birth was “spectacular.�

In a chaotic world, “it’s a little piece

of hope,� she said.

The zoo announced Aug. 20 that Mei Xiang had entered the final phase of her annual reproductive cycle -� one that would conclude in 40 to 50 days, with or without a cub.

The 14-�year-�old panda had been artificially inseminated April 29 and 30 after she and the zoo’s male giant panda, Tian Tian, 15, failed to mate successfully.

The zoo said it was instructive that she was inseminated with frozen sperm from Tian Tian that was saved after the successful insemination that produced the zoo’s only prior cub, Tai Shan, in 2005.

On Sept. 4, the zoo went into the standard 24-�hour-�a-�day panda preg-� nancy watch, in which volunteers mon-� itor cameras in the panda compound day and night for signs of a cub.

The zoo said Mei Xiang had grown less interested in food, shredding bam-� boo mainly to build a nest in her den and using large bamboo stalks for the same purpose.

Over the Labor Day weekend, she started cradling toys, as if they were cubs, and exhibiting other signs that she might be pregnant, the zoo said.

She would not cooperate in ultra-� sound procedures Sept. 10 and 11.

Zoo experts did conduct an ultra-� sound test on the panda Sept. 4, but it was inconclusive. “The only way we could definitely say that Mei is pregnant before she gives birth is if our veterinarians see a fetus on an ultrasound -� which they haven’t,� the zoo said in a statement Sept. 6. “It is not uncommon for panda ultrasounds to be inconclusive.�

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one explanation for the Utah State football teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss at Wisconsin Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; special teams.

Not Josh Thompson or any other individual player, but the unit as a whole. The defense performed excellently. The offense struggled, but still put up points. It was the special teams that cost the Aggies a win.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue that has plagued the Aggies in a multitude of situations over the past few years.

In each of the past four seasons, USU has come within a touchdown or less of beating a Bowl Championship Series team.

And the past two seasons, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the spe-â&#x20AC;? ;-27'327-2Âł7 1328)) &%00 %2( 1)0:-2 cial teams that have cost the Aggies a signature +36(32 celebrate during the Badgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 16-14 victory win against those top-â&#x20AC;?tier teams. over the Aggies at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wis., Against Texas A&M in 2009, the Aggies on Saturday.

nearly erased a 21-â&#x20AC;?point deficit before giving the ball away on a fumble with less than 25 sec-â&#x20AC;? onds left while driving to tie the game. In 2010 it was then No. 7 Oklahoma sealing the deal with an interception to escape the upset bug.

Neither of those games stung as badly as the past two seasons have, perhaps because the Aggies trailed the entire game and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the expectations for the football team which are now present.

But the past two seasons have been tough to swallow for the football program and for Aggie nation as a whole.

Last season Utah State jumped on top of defending National Champion Auburn and held a 38-â&#x20AC;?28 lead with fewer than four minutes remaining. After the Tigers pulled within three, the Aggie special teams were unable

HOCKEY

Utah State locked and loaded

BY SEAN Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;SULLIVAN staff writer

Utah Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club hockey team started the season off with a 3-â&#x20AC;?1 victory over Weber State on Friday.

For the Aggies, this is the first step on the road back to the American Club Hockey Association National Tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be at nationals again, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt in my mind,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Jon Eccles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the talent that we have and the way the team is coming together, we should be there.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the coach who thinks the Aggies should be repeating last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will get back to nationals,â&#x20AC;? said Aggie captain Brian Gibbons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be tough just like last year. We have the skill and the talent, so I feel that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a no-â&#x20AC;? brainer for us right now.â&#x20AC;?

While a lot of solid players return for the Aggies, losing offensive juggernauts Brendan MacDonald and Tyler Mistelbacher leads to high expectations to the newcomers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys we brought in this year are going to do more than fill those shoes,â&#x20AC;? Eccles said.

And while the Aggies might not see the large offensive output by individual players, the scoring could be spread out quite a bit by getting multiple players involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see two lines that are very capable of putting the puck in the net every game,â&#x20AC;? Eccles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If one line might be struggling, I see the other line picking it up.

Even the third line has potential.â&#x20AC;?

Although scoring is a question mark, the Aggies see the return of three of their top five defensemen from last year in Ty Johns, Jordan Kerr and Sean Erwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of good talent on this team,â&#x20AC;? said winger Ian Beckstrom.

When MacDonald left the team, Brian Gibbons was the natural choice to replace him as captain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example on the ice and off the ice,â&#x20AC;? Eccles said.

As new captain, Gibbons said he knows he has

extra work to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel a lot of responsibility, but I also feel that I have a lot of help from the returning guys,â&#x20AC;? Gibbons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A little bit of pressure and a little bit of respon-â&#x20AC;? sibility, but it comes with the territory.â&#x20AC;?

And as a leader on this Aggie team, Gibbons has one thing on his mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any personal goals,â&#x20AC;? Gibbons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to make sure we get back to nationals this year.â&#x20AC;?

While there are plenty of new faces on this squad, there is one very key difference in Ecclesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, these guys are so much more focused and on the same page,â&#x20AC;? Eccles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe the guys we brought in are very disciplined, hard-â&#x20AC;?working and excited. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to see these guys play.â&#x20AC;?

There may be fans who wonder if this could be a down year with all the new faces on the team, but Eccles feels confident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Utah State is not rebuilding, but we reloaded,â&#x20AC;?

Eccles said.

Beckstrom said the Aggie team is ready to prove their coach right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sooner I can get out on the ice, the better,â&#x20AC;?

Beckstrom said.

The Aggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home-â&#x20AC;?opener will be on Thursday, Oct. 18 against Arizona State at the Eccles Ice Center in Smithfield, Utah. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sean.osullivan@aggiemail.usu.edu Twitter: @Seansy89

SOCCER

Aggies miss out on huge upset win over Huskies

BY JASON BORBA staff writer

The Utah State womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team returned home to take on the No. 23 Washington Huskies on Thursday afternoon. The Aggies held the Pac-â&#x20AC;?12 powerhouse to a 1-â&#x20AC;?1 tie after overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best result we have had against a top 25 team, so it will go down in the history books. We are proud about that, but quite frankly we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but come away feeling like we should have got a bet-â&#x20AC;? ter result,â&#x20AC;? said Aggies Head Coach Heather Cairns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are bitter about it because we felt like we had chances to win it, so while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great accomplish-â&#x20AC;? ment, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hungry.â&#x20AC;?

The Huskies showed their superiority and created a handful of shots in the first half, but to no avail.

The Aggies took control of the half and had numerous opportunities to take the lead. USU kept the pressure on the Huskies, forcing five corner kicks and maintaining control of the ball throughout the half.

USU had two golden opportunities to take the lead in the early stages of the game. On both occasions, Washington goalkeeper Karli Davidson came up with huge saves to keep the game even. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of shots. Unfortunately, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish them,â&#x20AC;? USU forward Mari Miyashiro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came on and played our heart out.â&#x20AC;?

When Washington managed to regain control of the ball, they took eight shots, but none of them troubled USU goalkeeper Ashlyn Mulford.

The first half closed with the Aggies dominating possession but nothing on the scoreboard showed.

Both teams went into the break tied at zero.

For the first 15 minutes of the second half, both teams traded possession at midfield without creating obvious goal-â&#x20AC;?scoring chances.

In the 58th minute, the Aggies were finally able to break the deadlock.

Midfielder Kendra Pemberton began the USU attack with a pass to Miyashiro, who took on the goalkeeper in a one-â&#x20AC;?on-â&#x20AC;?one opportunity. Davidson blocked the shot, but the ball went flying behind her and Miyashiro was able to regain possession and shoot.

Her shot was deflected at the line and found its way out to Jennifer Flynn who was able to tap the ball into the back of the net and give the Aggies the advantage over the No. 23 team in the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a ton of people in the box, and I thought they were going to call an offside. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what I was thinking, but I kind of waited and trailed in late,â&#x20AC;? Flynn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody already had their mark, and I was unmarked and I tapped it right in.â&#x20AC;?

USU continued the attack but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t double the score. Flynn had a chance to score her second goal of the game but her shot from outside the 18-â&#x20AC;?yard box went just over the crossbar.

The Huskies put on the pressure in the final 10 minutes and equalized after numerous chances.

With USU needing just six minutes to pull of the upset, match referee Philp Paris awarded Washington a penalty kick in the 84th minute.

Lindsay Elston capitalized on the spot kick and tie the game at 1-â&#x20AC;?1.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel my fingers as I sat down to write my recap of the Wisconsin game Saturday night.

My eyes were pointed at my computer screen, but all I saw was a 37-yard field goal attempt being pushed right of the goal post in Camp Randall Stadium.

I was numb, sick and felt my soul empty out of my body as fast as a college studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gas tank.

My stomach tightened every time the Aggies missed that kick. By the fifth or sixth time the scene played out in my mind, all that remained of my insides was a tangled mess of football players

fighting for a loose ball at the bottom of a pile.

My desk jumped as I slammed both fists on it, as did the handful of people still gazing blankly at the television in the room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am an unbiased student reporter,â&#x20AC;? I whispered to myself, hoping I could believe the lie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not emotionally invested in any team I am assigned to cover.â&#x20AC;?

It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work.

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even want to watch BYU lose three times to Utah in the Holy War â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the next-best thing to a scoreless tie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as red-clad fans rushed the field over and over again in my hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Eventually my fingers moved, slowly at first and then with dexterity as though someone else was writing the game summary for me.

No words were dictated from my mind to the keyboard. Snippets of scenes from the battle in Madison, Wis., played through the movie

screen of my mind and were projected onto the page, translated from pictures into the English alphabet.

I saw a sophomore quarterback wearing number 16 throw a pass to a shorter man who ran to the end of the field while fans wearing a different color sat in their seats with depressed expressions.

I saw a host of players in gray uniforms hold a running back wearing red out of the end zone force a field goal. A few paragraphs later I saw the same defense stop him again just before a red-jerseyed teammate missed a field goal.

I saw a punt ran back for a touchdown and a giant, red monster rise out from the stadium. I saw a reputation on the line for one team and an upcoming identity forming for the other. There was frustration of repeated situational failure and there was ecstasy of uncertain victory.

The missed 37-yarder

played again, this time serving as a closing scene before the credits rolled.

I came to my senses in time to write my own byline, still fatigued with the surreal vertigo that usually comes after waking from a dream Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not convinced wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real.

For me, the loneliness in knowing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need frequent out-of-body experiences or a few dozen behavioral-modification serums to both help and hinder my sports writing career is an identity crisis in itself.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the price Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure I will continue to pay as I continue in my attempt to combine my career with my passion for athletics. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tavin Stucki is in his third year at Utah State, majoring in journalism.

FOOTBALL: Special teams unit couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up From page 13 to seal the deal and failed to secure the ensuing onside kick.

The Tigers took advantage, driving for another touchdown to solidify the victory. Last week against Utah, the USU special teams missed an extra point, a field goal and muffed a punt.

Saturday against Wisconsin, the special teams were abysmal in every category from punt yardage average to coverage on kick returns, with a punt return for a touchdown proving to be the game-â&#x20AC;? winner. Not to mention poor execution on Utah Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field goals and extra points, such as the missed 37-â&#x20AC;?yarder as time expired.

Despite the less-â&#x20AC;?than-â&#x20AC;? pleasing performance from the special teams, the football program continues to progress and gain respect and attention on the national stage.

But for head coach Gary Andersen, the special teams remain a chink in the armor that needs to be repaired if the Aggies are going to break through and get that signature win the program and fans are hungry for.

This season the NCAA changed the rules so that kickoffs take place from the 35-â&#x20AC;?yard-â&#x20AC;?line instead of the 30

and touchbacks are moved up five yards and placed at the 25.

Against Wisconsin, the kickoff return team averaged 15 yards per return, compared to nearly 20 for the Badgers.

This means the Aggies are starting inside their own 20 and losing the battle of field position.

Such was the case Saturday as the kicking team failed to record a touchback and gave up 19.7 yards per return to the Badgers.

The punt team was even worse. Two punters had a combined 11 kicks with an average punt of 37.5 yards, including a 19 yard punt that started the Badgers at USUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 42-â&#x20AC;?yard-â&#x20AC;?line and eventually led to Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone offensive touchdown.

Not exactly what Andersen was hoping for.

On the flip side, the special teams have shown moments of excellence this season. The squad blocked a Wisconsin

extra point that allowed the team a shot at a game-â&#x20AC;?winning field goal. Despite the mostly-â&#x20AC;? poor punting, the Aggies pinned the Badgers inside their own 20 on four occa-â&#x20AC;? sions.

Against Utah, Tyler Bennett averaged 45.3 yards per punt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a 59-â&#x20AC;?yarder â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and stuck the Utes inside their own 20 four times.

The coverage team opened the scoring against Utah with their first blocked punt returned for a touchdown in 10 years. It also held the Utes to 17 yards per kickoff return, which helped win the field position battle.

The special teams unit isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hopeless, it just needs to be tweaked. And when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patched up, the Aggies already promising season will look even brighter. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; curtis.lundstrom@gmail.com Twitter: @curtislundstrom

The match was USUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth overtime game of the season, and the Aggies were showing signs of fatigue in the overtime but still managed to outshoot Washington 5-â&#x20AC;?2.

Neither team was able to get the golden goal, so the match ended in a draw.

Finally her time to shine

BY JASON BORBA staff writer

AGGIE KEEPER ASHLYN MULFORD has sat behind former Utah State goalkeeper Molli Merrill for the past three seasons. Now a senior, Mulford has inherited the starting role from her friend and current coach.

CURTIS RIPPLINGER photo

In Hollywood it is always difficult to follow up a great movie with a great sequel. People’s expectations are so high from the first movie that the sequel is almost always a let down. The modern day “Star Wars,” “Caddyshack 2,” “Ocean’s Twelve,” “The Next Karate Kid,” “Batman and Robin,” “The Hangover 2,” “The Godfather Part 3” and numerous others have all been seen as disap-‐ pointments.

In the world of sports, following in the footsteps of a great athlete is no different. Utah State women’s soccer goalkeeper Ashlyn Mulford will try to do just that this season.

Mulford is a senior who sat most of her first three years as an Aggie behind Molli Merrill.

“We have been through alot together and the two of us were able to challenge each other to be better each day,” Merrill said. “She chal-‐ lenged me, I challenged her. Now it is her time. She has been waiting for so long and she has done everything she can do to take this opportunity.”

Merrill is one of the best goal-‐ keepers in USU history. During her spectacular four-‐year career as an Aggie, Merrill won several awards.

In 2011 she earned first-‐team all-‐WAC honors and recorded 11

shutouts in 22 games. She was also named to the WAC all-‐tournament team in 2009 and 2011. Merrill holds the school record for career shutouts at 23.

“Molli was my colleague for a long time and now she is my coach,” Mulford said. “I respect her a lot and she teaches me a ton of things.

She just keeps me on top of my game.”

That is all in the past. Mulford is looking toward the future.

“I’ve worked really hard the last three years and it’s one of the best feelings ever knowing my hard work is going out onto the field now,” Mulford said.

Before this season, Mulford played in seven games and started in two of those contests for the Aggies. USU head coach Heather Cairns says Mulford is ready to seize the opportunity.

“She has been stepping up in a lot of ways,” Cairns said. “Mulford has been playing better and with more confidence in the front of the net, making good decisions and playing the best soccer of her career at Utah State.”

“I expect Ashlyn to lead our team, earn shutouts and give our team confidence,” Cairns said. “There is a lot of things that goalkeepers are going to be counted on and the stan-‐ dards are really high. I think she can

live up to them.”

Mulford brings a lot of experi-‐ ence and energy to the team as a senior.

“Being a senior I can tell them to enjoy it while it lasts,” Mulford said.

“There is going to be hard times, there are going to be good times, but the best part is having your team there with you through all of it.”

Mulford has played in eight games for the Aggies, allowing only four goals against her opponents.

She has earned three shutouts and 35 saves through the eight games.

“Ashlyn is awesome,” Merrill said. “She has stepped it up so much. She trains every single day so hard and just brings it to the field. She has been awesome for our team.”

Mulford and the Aggies are hop-‐ ing to build on their success from last year where they made it to the first round of the NCAA tourna-‐ ment.

“We made it to the first round last year and I think we can easily do that again this year,” Mulford said. “As long as we are working hard and we keep that mentality, I think we can make it as far as we did or further. I feel like I can help my team make it to that level.”

The view from schools down south Monday, Nov. 1, XXXX

The Utah Statesman solicited the opinions of sports editors from The Daily Utah Chronicle and The BYU Universe to present opposing takes on the Holy War Jake Bullinger What ‘U’ don’t know

I’m far from a jaded sportswriter, but I’ve been watching college football my entire life. I’ve seen some wild plays, some crazy finishes and things that left me scratching my head. But after Saturday’s Utah-BYU game, there was just one thing I could say: What the hell just happened?

Football games aren’t supposed to happen like the one that took place on Saturday. If you take away the final quarter — scratch that, the final minute — the game was just plain awful.

BYU had only 312 yards of offense and Utah posted just 245. Neither team could run the ball — there were a total of 155 rushing yards. BYU certainly didn’t look like a Top-25 team and Utah sure didn’t look like a contender in the Pac-12 South.

The game was long and boring. But after the last possession, does that even matter?

Just wrap your mind around the last few plays. It’s BYU’s ball, fourth-and-12 on their own 19, score is 24-21 Utah, game should be over. Then Riley Nelson hits Cody Hoffman for a 47-yard gain.

This is where things get interesting.

Two plays later, Nelson throws an incomplete pass.

Game clock reads zeroes, the fans rush the field. But Nelson had spiked the ball on the previous play, yet the clock started before he snapped the ball. So in reality, there was one second left on the clock.

So the fans are backed up on the sideline. Everyone has a front-row seat and they’re excited. Justin Sorensen trots out to try a 51-yarder for the Cougars.

It gets blocked.

This is where things get really interesting.

Utah’s student section —

the 12th man, the MUSS, the “greatest fans in the world,” as every player calls them — storms the field again, as any self-respecting student section would do in this instance. There’s just one problem — the fans are too close to the field to begin with, so they rush the field before the game is actually over. Thus, Utah’s amazing fans really do act as a 12th man — they are penalized.

Now BYU is 15 yards closer and will try another field goal. Riley Stephenson comes out and you just know he’s going to drill this field goal. But remember, this is a game in which nothing makes sense, including BYU sending out a new kicker. Stephenson’s kick bounces off the left upright.

Utah, despite the best efforts of their fans, despite a terrible offense, wins.

What the hell just happened?

One could wax poetic about the Holy War, saying the game was bound to end this way. One could cite the law of averages — the first 59 minutes were terrible, so the last minute had to be one that will be remembered forever.

Whatever your logic, that last statement rings true. This ending will be remembered forever. It was a four-hour game filled with 22 penalties and not enough offense — ESPN2’s ratings surely plummeted — yet it will go down as one of the best endings to a football game ever.

Utah is fortunate to have come out on top. It’s hard to say it played better than BYU in any measurable area. But on some nights, that doesn’t matter. All that counts is that the final field goal bounces off the upright and your fans are able to correctly celebrate the third time around.

Burton’s Block.

The Heap’s mistake.

What will this game be Words referred to by BYU stufrom the dents? The Boink Game?

In a boring, mis‘Y’se take-filled game that dragged on until the midnight hour, BYU managed to lose not once, not twice, but three times Saturday evening against the school up North when Riley Stephenson pushed a 36-yard field goal into the left upright — “boink” — and the MUSS was finally able to rush the field to celebrate the win.

Opinions on campus have been subdued. The talk on campus prior to Saturday was one of confidence — Utah had just lost to Utah State in a thrilling game, BYU was rolling over teams like Washington State and Weber State and Utah would be without starting quarterback Jordan Wynn, running back John White, as well as safety Eric Rowe. This was a game that BYU should have won, right?

Wrong. We missed the warning signs from the first two games — excessive penalties, inability to throw downfield, an inexperienced offensive line and a notyet-healthy kicking unit.

All those things were exposed by former BYU linebacker and current Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham. The offensive line jumped offside seven times, Utah blocked two field goals and our longest pass completion came on a play that Riley Nelson described as, “Something we drew up in the sand.”

Utah wasn’t much better. Their longest drive of the game ended in a blocked field goal attempt. An awful snap on a punt attempt gave BYU a short field that led to an easy touchdown. A personal foul in the end zone wiped out a safety and the Utes commit-

Daniel Lewis

ted four more personal fouls for 75 yards in penalty yards. While the defense forced five fumbles, they only recovered one. Finally, the whole mess with the Mighty Utah Student Section rushing the field.

Instead of talking about how we were finally able to overcome our inability to beat Utah, BYU is left talking about how “classless” the Utah fans were for rushing the field early or trash talking members of the BYU football team. What would they expect?

BYU fans rushed the field when we beat Utah State last season and the Aggies were 1-3 that season. No offense, but if any school beats a team that is 1-3, the fans should just go home and celebrate instead of taking the field like they had just won the national championship.

Is it disappointing to lose to Utah? Absolutely. Is it anything to lose sleep over? Not really. BYU wasn’t really a National Championship contender, and as an independent, we can’t look forward to a conference championship. As long as BYU becomes bowl-eligible, they’ll receive an invite to the Poinsettia Bowl, take their sponsorship money and come back next year to try again.

I would feel different if BYU had won, but this game does serve as a reminder of all the good about sports. It’s great to still feel drowsy after arriving home early in the morning after the game. It’s great to see two teams who have a legitimate rivalry face of against each other. I’m excited for the careers of Jamaal Williams and Taysom Hill. I want to see if Kyle Van Noy makes it to the NFL and how he performs on the biggest stage in football.

Finally, I’m excited for Oct. 5, when BYU will host Utah State in a battle for the Beehive Boot. Hopefully BYU students stay off of the field after we win.
