n’Run 4 Running Water 5k’ publicizes OSU chapter of Engineers Without Borders-USA, the scope of their projects in Kenya
By Chloe TullTHE DAILY BAROMETER
Approximately 780 million people lack access to improved water sources, and this crisis predominat-ly affects rural communities in developing countries. The Oregon State University chapter of Engineers Without Borders has committed to addressing this critical issue, which impacts one in nine people worldwide.
The organization has been in the United States since 2002, and the OSU chapter was launched in 2005. The student group looks to support programs focused on building communities via worldwide partnerships in environmentally and economically sustainable engineering projects.
With a global perspective, these students look beyond the barriers that international borders can
create and attend to systems where their presence is requested.
On Sept. 29, the OSU chapter of EWB-USA will be hosting the Run 4 Running Water 5k.
“By putting on the Run 4 Running Water 5k, we hope to really increase our presence on campus and raise student awareness about our organization,” said Sean Gertz, president of the EWB-USA OSU chapter.
“We also hope to use this event to help fund our ongoing project: working to provide a clean, sustain-able supply of drinking water for a rural community in Kenya,” said Gertz.
The race starts at 9 a.m. in the MU Quad with check-in starting at 7:30 a.m. Registration is $18 and can be done online or on race day. For more infor-mation, visit groups.engr.oregonstate.edu/ewb/5k.

the two of us work so well togeth-er,” Dale said. “It was my husband’s dream; I had zero experience, so I did all the marketing, menus, tabletops and floors. I had a lot of fun with it, and I got to be really creative and use everything I was good with. He tack-led all the food. We didn’t really cross over a whole lot which worked well for us.”
Dale says that these roles have con-tinued since opening up the restau-rant. She takes care of the paperwork,
bills, payroll and maintenance, while also helping to run her parent’s trav-el company and helping to do the design. Meanwhile, her husband stays busy in the kitchen, cooking and over-seeing about 20 employees.
In addition to portrayals of OSU’s most popular athletes, paintings of celebrities and old rock-and-roll art-ists are scattered across the walls of The Broken Yolk. Dale said she had a really specific image in mind when shopping around for art to spice up the restaurant. After several local art-ists left her dissatisfied, the perfect artist finally showed up one day.
“This cute little Englishman hap-pened to drop in one day and show me his artwork,” Dale said. “I loved it. All the black and white with small splashes of color worked perfectly. Eventually, I asked him to do ones of the athletes too, and he did a very neat job on the Beavers,” said Dale.
Currently, The Broken Yolk is known just as a local breakfast spot, since Dale chose not to serve lunch or dinner.
“We have definitely toyed with the idea [of expansion]. Our first plan would be to get a liquor license and open some evenings,,” Dale said. “I’m getting the itch to expand and move
on to a new project, but my husband is pretty content with what we have right now. He isn’t really keen on the idea. I’m sure I can change that though.”
With an extensive menu, large por-tions, and extraordinarily friendly staff and environment, The Broken Yolk is sure to remain open for years to come.
The Broken Yolk is located at 119 S.W. 3rd St. in Corvallis. It is open daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling (541) 738-9655.
Food recalls are coming in fast and furi-ous and it’s often hard to keep track. This is the first in a series of recall round-ups in which we’ll share the most up-to-date information on the foods you should be scrutinizing right now.
Peanut butterSunland, Inc., the manufacturer of
Trader Joe’s Valencia Creamy Salted Peanut Butter which was recalled last week due to possible salmonella contamination, has expanded the recall to include all of its Almond Butter and Peanut Butter products manufactured between May 1, 2012 and Sept. 24, 2012.
A press release from the company says that twenty-nine people reported Salmonella Bredeney, matching illness-es in approximately 18 states including Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Virginia, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland, according to a report issued on Sept. 22, 2012 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Fast facts on salmonellaThe Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention reports that people in a normal state of health who ingest Salmonella-tainted food may experience diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, which typi-cally begin within 12 to 72 hours. This may be accompanied by vomiting, chills, head-ache and muscle pains. These symptoms may last about four to seven days, and then go away without specific treatment, but left unchecked, Salmonella infec-tion may spread to the bloodstream and beyond and may cause death if the person is not treated promptly with antibiotics.
Children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune symptoms should practice extreme caution, as salmonellosis may lead to severe illness or even death.
Romaine lettuceCheck your crispers: Fresh Express
Incorporated has voluntarily recalled its 9-ounce Leafy Green Romaine Salad with a use-by date of Sept. 16 after a package collected for the United States Department of Agriculture random sample testing pro-gram showed a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes. While the salad is consid-ered to be expired and is no longer for sale, the company is issuing the recall out of an abundance of caution in case consumers
still have the packages in their homes.Consumers with questions may call the
Fresh Express Consumer Response Center at 800-242-5472 during the hours of 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET and the product should be discarded immediately.
Fast facts on listeriaAccording to the Food and Drug
Administration, listeria is an organism that can cause foodborne illness. Symptoms of infection may include fever, muscle aches, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. Pregnant women and adults with weakened immune systems are at the greatest risk and most healthy adults and children rarely become seriously ill.
BeefThe United States Food Safety and
Inspection Service announced that a test-ing sample of raw boneless beef trim prod-uct imported to the United States from Canadian Establishment 38, XL Foods, Inc., confirmed positive for E. coli.
According to the FSIS, the products sub-ject to the Canadian recall were distrib-uted to U.S. establishments in the follow-ing states: California, Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin at retailers including Food4Less FoodsCo., Kroger, Safeway and Jay C. These products may have been further processed into various products, such as ground beef, ground beef patties, beef jerky and pastrami. FSIS is taking every precaution to make sure that potentially affected product has been removed from commerce.
Consumers with food safety question are encouraged to contact “Ask Karen,” the FSIS virtual representative avail-able 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-674-6854 is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
Fast facts on E. coliAccording to the FSIS, E. coli is a poten-
tially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.
Consumers are advised to only consume ground beef that has been cooked all the way through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Farenheit.

Food recall round-up: lettuce, beef and peanut butter (oh my!)
Twelve students at the University of Tennessee have been cited for underage drinking, one for disorderly conduct, and a chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity suspended after a weekend incident involving alcohol enemas in which one student was hospitalized, a university spokeswoman said.
“Upon extensive ques-tioning, it is believed that members of the fraternity were using rubber tubing inserted into their rectums as a conduit for alcohol as the abundance of capillar-ies and blood vessels pres-ent greatly heightens the level and speed of the alcohol entering the bloodstream as it bypasses the filtering by the liver,” Knoxville Police Dept spokesman Darrell DeBusk said Monday in a statement.
The student, who was taken to the UT Medical Center in critical condition with a blood alcohol level of 0.40 — five times the legal cutoff for driving — has been released, the hospital said.
But the parents of the stu-dent said their son denied involvement in the activ-ity described by the police spokesman.
Police spokesman DeBusk said he was standing by his account.
“It was information gath-ered through the course of our investigation, which has now been turned over to the UT Police Department,” he said.
Spokeswoman Karen Simsen said that hazing does not appear to have been involved. “It’s just an incident involving alcohol,” she said.
The Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity said it had administratively sus-
pended the school’s Zeta Chapter and was investi-gating the incident, which occurred early Saturday.
“The recent allegations against these individuals have come as a complete shock to The Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity, its 15,000 undergraduate mem-bers and over 200,000 living alumni, family and friends,” the statement said. “Pi Kappa Alpha’s mission is to devel-op men of integrity, intellect and high moral character and to foster a truly lifelong fraternal experience. These alleged activities are clearly not consistent with that mis-sion, nor are they represen-tative of what the fraternity would expect from any of its members.”
The suspension will last for 30 days or until a decision is made regarding the long-term status of the chapter, the fraternity office said.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries.

Never have I, on the first try, been able to sign into my Comcast/XFINITY
account. Truly, not even when I first activated it — I had to call in due to a miscommunication with their field technician.
Comcast customer service is disappointing, at best. So it’s no surprise this issue never resolves. At this point, I’d rather drown myself in an inch of water than call in again. I don’t need to waste an hour of my time piercing my eardroms with low-quality eleva-tor music.
Customer service is a pain. I get it. I’ve been behind the counter; people are a pain to deal with sometimes. And sometimes there is no pleasing them.
Guess what? If you’ve got a job, you have to deal with people. Here’s a newsflash for you Comcast: you provide a product to, according to their most recent quarterly report, 50,521 customers.
Unfortunately, my options else-where aren’t looking any more promising. Surely, you’ve dealt with this (or, at some point, you will). So what then? Switch to Qwest/CenturyLink? Ha. I hate having to choose Comcast simply because it’s better than the other options, but I have to.
As a college student, as a per-son, I require Internet access. The Internet is by far the greatest resource of our time. Honestly, I
believe everyone is entitled to that resource. Though, due to the necessity of it, I feel exploited.
Currently I’m paying for a 27 Mbps download speed, with an indeterminate upload, for slightly more than $50 a month. And as far as I understand it, that price will go up to over $60 a month. I have strolled over to speedtest.net to see if I’m really getting what I what I pay for, and I am. I wish I could say otherwise, but I can’t. I hate to admit it, but Comcast is the best of the worst for a reason.
According to Akamai’s quarterly “State of the Internet” report, the United States average download speed is a 6.7 MBps. So, at least Comcast is above average in one category.
Google’s move in advertising free Internet services makes every other provider look silly. I’m aware it’s only offering 5 Mbps, but the concept is amazing. The infra-structure would have to be built first, which would cost more in the short-term. Sure there are those that oppose the great Google over-lords — seeing this as another way
they’re going to take over us all. I say, meh. I want some Google fiber!
Though, neither of these two top choices have quality customer service. A quick visit to the cus-tomer service scoreboard website and this is clear. Out of the 560 companies that have a profile with this website, Comcast customer service ranks 292. The worst part is Google clocked in at 438. Really disappointing.
Though Comcast seems to pro-vide a pretty consistent download speed, that’s about all they provide. With their unimpressive adver-tisements coaxing young students into thinking they’re going to pay around $30, bumping that cost twice in six months increments is slimy. Yeah, it’s business, but I’m on the other end of that exchange.
Really, what I’m looking for is better service for those who need it. Where’s the student discount? I would be happy paying $30, but $60 just seems excessive: beating a dead horse. I don’t have money to just dish out when the price goes up on a regular appliance. Certainly, if a better option comes up, I’m taking it. Until then, I’ll just have to skimp on eating out, coffee shops, and retail stores. Oh wait, I don’t do that as it is.

In my previous article, I urged readers to seek help if they believed they needed it,
and gave some tips on combating depression. In this article, I would like to expand on ways to fight your depression.
Connections are a big part in com-bating depression. Pick good friends that you can confide in — people that you can trust with whatever dark thoughts you may be having, or what-ever you may be feeling. Friends who have experience with depression may be of great benefit to you, as they know how to fight it, and understand how you are feeling and your thoughts. It is important to note, however, that throughout your fight with depres-sion, you may lose friends. You may feel betrayed by those you thought were friends. They may walk away from you when you most need them. This will only show you who your real friends are. But you will gain friends, too. It is important to understand that you are not alone in this tough time, there are those who care for you.
Another huge aspect of fighting depression is just that: fighting it. You need the right mental attitude to fight your depression. If you sulk in sorrow, and don’t actively fight it, then you will never grow out of it. You must have the right mental attitude: “I don’t want to feel this way anymore. I want to be happy!” A positive attitude is important. Thinking, “I can,” or “it can be done,” instead of “I can’t,” or “it can’t be done,” will make a bigger difference than you think. Repeat these thoughts audibly to yourself, and over time they will make a difference. Pick up a positive-thinking book; I found “Positive Charges” to be a very helpful and inspiring book, and suggest you pick up a copy if you have an opportunity.
When fighting depression, small vic-tories add up. Make lists of things you want to accomplish. As you accom-plish them, scratch them off. This releases endorphins, which over time will contribute to a better attitude toward life. Make goals for your aca-demics, personal and medical needs, even if they are as small as “wake up before 8 a.m.” or “take my vitamins” or “relax for 30 minutes.” These small accomplishments, over time, will help you feel better as you scratch them off your list daily.
Talking and communicating is another important aspect of fight-ing depression. Going to your thera-pist and talking about everything on your mind has a sort of alleviation effect. The whole act of getting some-thing off your mind by actively talk-ing about it lifts the weight off your shoulders and improves your attitude, too. Talking to your friends will help alleviate these feelings too, like when you have concerns or thoughts when your therapist is not available.
Your therapist may offer the thought of taking antidepressants to you. Yes, this is a scary; there are concerns of antidepressants increas-ing suicidal thoughts or having other undesirable side effects. Talk with your therapist and your doctor about your concerns.
Meditation is one other helpful way to combat depression. Your therapist may show you various breathing tech-niques that help clear your mind and help you slow down to think, when perhaps you are acting impulsive-ly. CAPS offers a computer program that you can make appointments for
Give sidewalks back to
pedestriansThis fall, Oregon State
University has almost 25,000 rugrats running around on
campus. You may have noticed the crowds. But we’re not just walking to and from classes; we’re biking and skating, too.
Biking and skating not only allows us to procrastinate leaving our com-fortable beds, but allows us to dodge walkers clotting campus avenues. This interaction often goes unlooked. That is, unless you’re unlucky enough to get stopped by the police.
Before you have an unfortunate encounter with the Department of Public Safety, we thought to take it upon ourselves to inform you about the laws bicyclists and boarders should keep in mind.
First, bikes are not allowed on sidewalks; skateboards, however, are. But, if you are to skate on the sidewalk, you can’t travel faster than walking speed. Skaters also have to be conscious of the pedestrians’ right of way: don’t cut them off. Honestly, though, you’d be better off sticking to the road. Why tempt a fine? Plus, the benefit of being able to travel faster is negated by herds of people clumped on the sidewalks.
Second, both modes of transporta-tion are subject to stop and yield signs. Campus intersections are prime areas for a crash or an awkward collision. It’s only a minute of your time. Stop and make sure people aren’t walking, bik-ers cycling, or drivers driving. In other words, make sure it’s clear before you blindly head through.
Third, pedestrians have the right of way. This is something Oregon State students seem to take for granted. We know it can be difficult conjuring the patience for the in-their-own-world students, but deal with it — for every-one’s safety.
Finally, lighting. According to Oregon Law, bikes are required to have a front light visible for up to 500 feet, at night. You are also required to have a rear reflector visible from at least 600 feet. It’s getting dark earlier so be aware of that, though you may think vehicles can see you, chances are they don’t.
Sidewalks, other walkways and paths are reserved for pedestrians. Bikers, skaters, and vehicles get the road. It’s busy enough on campus; don’t add to the stress of it. Keep in mind, people are in their own world: even if you see them, they don’t see you.
We’d like to encourage the cooper-ation with these Oregon regulations. Give the sidewalks back to those on their feet. Verbally signal when you’re going to pass someone, and use hand singles when on the road.
These aren’t difficult things to keep in mind. What is difficult is develop-ing the patience to conduct yourself in such a manner.

Doing the right thingT o the student body of Oregon
State,There is a certain breed of
student at Oregon State University that needs to fade away. These stu-dents can be seen all over campus. The particular subculture I’m refer-ring to is the group of OSU students who insist upon wearing U of O clothing on campus. If you fall into this category, listen up because I am speaking directly to you.
To the girl in Math 111 with the Oregon Ducks hoodie, to the bro bench pressing at Dixon wearing an Oregon football cutoff, and to the kid at the townhouse party with the backwards Ducks Rose Bowl snap-back, I have one request on behalf of the rest of the student body: Stop.
Go home, take off the Ducks attire you are wearing, and put it in your closet. I would prefer if you burned it, but I won’t demand that much. I would prefer if you didn’t attend the same university as me because I am someone who values loyalty and honor but once again, I will not demand that you drop out of OSU and transfer to that other school down south. All I request is that you please refrain from wearing Duck gear on our campus.
I’m not saying this from the per-spective of a fan of OSU Athletics. This is bigger than sports. This is about doing what is right.
Loyalty and honor have fallen by the wayside in this country in recent years. Some say that our country is the most divided that it has been since the Civil War. A big reason for this division is a lack of belief in standing up for what is right. People have become more concerned with themselves than with the greater good.
There was a time in this country when people stood for what they believed in. They had ideals, mor-als and values. People were true to their school and true to their country. If a person attended a school, they were willing to bleed for that school. People had school pride and were patriotic; a word that is hardly used in common conversation these days.
To quote Will McAvoy from the HBO Series “The Newsroom” (which I highly recommend checking out if you haven’t yet), “When you ask, ‘what makes us the greatest country in the world?’ I don’t know what the [expletive] you’re talking about. We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons.”
McAvoy is speaking about the big-ger picture in that sentence, but what he’s saying can be applied here at Oregon State.
Two of the most important threads in what once wove the moral fiber of our country were loyalty and a sense of pride. The concepts of loy-alty and any pride that arose from standing for what is right are lost when students of a university — one

Richardson coming on strong
NEIL ABREW | THE DAILY BAROMETER ARCHIVES
Oregon State women’s soccer player Jenna Richardson has been the Beavers’ best player so far this year. After a stint with U-20 Canadian National Team, she has scored four goals in the five games she has started, and the team has gone 5-0 in that span.

Oregon State has had great success recently against Arizona. Lance Mitchell made a key interception in the Beavers’ 38-28 win over the Wildcats in 2011.
Success in Tucson not crossing players’ mindsn OSU has won their last five
games at Arizona, players, coaches not reading into it
By Warner StrausbaughTHE DAILY BAROMETER
Oregon State had a horrendous history playing at the Rose Bowl, but came through with just their fifth win in Pasadena in 60 years last Saturday. But when it comes to playing in Tucson, history favors the Beavers.
Since 1999, OSU is 11-2 against the Wildcats, including wins in their last five trips to the “Zona Zoo.”
Even last year, sitting at a record of 0-4, the Beavers took down Arizona 38-28 at Reser Stadium. It was one of only three wins.
Yet even with all of this — coupled with the fact that Oregon State upset UCLA while Arizona got flattened at Autzen Stadium 49-0 to the Ducks
— OSU comes in as a three-point underdog.
If history does indeed repeat itself, that line should probably be favoring the Beavers.
Either way, the OSU players are not going to play the role of historian this week in preparation for their third game of the season.
“You can’t think of it like that, real-ly,” said senior cornerback Jordan Poyer. “It’s a whole new year, it’s a whole new team. Obviously they took a big loss the other day but you can’t look at that. We’re going to expect them to come out with the best Arizona team they’ve had in history. That’s the way we’re going to look at it. They’re going to come out and try to smack us in the mouth and we just can’t let it happen.”
Another viewpoint on the success in Tucson is to merely make the trend
n Jenna Richardson has been essential to OSU’s success since returning from FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup
By Grady GarrettTHE DAILY BAROMETER
By most accounts, including that of her head coach, Jenna Richardson was the best offensive player on the field during Oregon State’s 2-0 win over Utah last Friday.
It’s not exactly a profound statement, consid-ering OSU’s junior forward scored both of the game’s goals and accounted for all five of her team’s shots on goal.
But it’s interesting to wonder how the Beavers would have fared in their Pac-12 opener with-out their returning leader in goals scored, and
important to point out how much more dan-gerous they looked in the attacking third than they did at the beginning of the season — when Richardson wasn’t around.
Richardson, a Second Team All-Pac-12 selec-tion last year, missed OSU’s first four games this fall because she was in Japan representing her native Canada at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
That experience, she said, helped her grow as a player.
“I learned a lot of composure on the ball, that’s something I’m trying to instill in myself while I’m still here,” Richardson said. “Speed of play, when to go and when to hold the ball. Even though I’m fast, I don’t need to try and score every time.”
OSU head coach Linus Rhode feels that such an experience can only help a player.
“I think it helped her a lot, just to deal with that kind of pressure, deal with playing against players that are of a high quality,” Rhode said. “It helps her with her speed of play, her ability to deal with pressure situations, which is all good.”
Canada went 1-2 and finished third in Group C. Had Canada advanced further in the tourna-ment, Richardson potentially could have missed as many as seven or eight OSU games.
In Richardson’s absence, the Beavers went 4-0 and scored six goals — several of which were off set pieces or crosses into the box. Richardson didn’t start in her first game back, a 1-0 loss to UC Irvine on Sept. 2.
With Richardson in the lineup, the Beavers have someone who can consistently put pres-sure on opposing defenses with her speed and

last longer.“We’ve always had their
number, since I’ve been here anyway, and we always play well down there so hope-fully that will grow,” said senior wide receiver Markus Wheaton.
The biggest aspect head coach Mike Riley has been preaching to the team is play-ing “one game at a time.” That mentality is evident when looking at Riley’s success against the Wildcats.
“We won the games that we won,” Riley said. “This game, this Saturday, that’s all there is
to it. History is fine. Everybody can look at it, but it doesn’t really have any bearing on this game.”
The last time Oregon State traveled to Arizona, it was arguably the most memorable game the Beavers have played since the “War of the Roses” in 2009.
It was Oct. 9, 2010, when the Wildcats ranked No. 9 in the nation after starting off the season 4-0. The Beavers came out of the desert with a 29-27 upset behind the arm of Ryan Katz, who threw for 393 yards.
“I think that was my best game, besides this past game [against UCLA] actually,” Wheaton said, who caught
seven passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. “That was my first deep ball I caught. I caught a touchdown there … it was [48] yards, right there in front of my family, they were there in the stands. It’s prob-ably one of the most memo-rable things I’ve done here.”
Regardless, the players are not living in the past.
“That was a big game for us as a team and as a program,” Poyer said. “It really got us going in a way, gave us some confidence. But … that’s old news now. It’s a whole new season, a whole new year, and we’re looking at this year’s Arizona Wildcats.”
For sophomore wide
receiver Brandin Cooks, who broke out for 175 yards and a touchdown on Saturday, this will be his first time playing in Tucson. He’s ready to keep that winning trend alive.
“I’m excited to play them and go down to Tucson and play in the Zoo,” Cooks said.
Whether the players like it or not, there’s something about the Beavers playing against Arizona.
UCLA’s strong record against the Beavers in the Rose Bowl was snapped on Saturday. OSU will do everything to not let that happen to them.
that has 24,977 students, per the Oregon State Enrollment Summary from fall of 2011, and a faculty of about 3,500 — begin to wear enemy colors on campus.
You just don’t root for the enemy. There is nothing wrong with rooting for the underdog, but underdog and enemy are two vastly different things. Do you think people in this country were wearing USSR jerseys when the United States played the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympic ice hock-ey semifinals? Disney made a movie about that game, called “Miracle,” just in case you didn’t know what I was talking about.
Our culture has become too obsessed with trying to include everyone in every-thing. It’s the mentality that says everyone who tries out makes the team and everyone who plays gets participation medals. The problem is, some people don’t deserve to be on the team and some people didn’t play well enough to earn a medal.
In the same vein, OSU stu-dents should not be accepting of other students who wear Duck gear. Let them know they are in the wrong. I know that thanks to Drake, the expres-sion, “I’m doing me” has come into vogue, but the truth is that there are times when a person “doing them” just isn’t cutting it. Duck fans at Oregon State, I’m referring to you.
Root for the Ducks on your own time. I will look upon you with contempt, but like I men-tioned before, this is America and you have the freedom to root for who you want. And it’s true, you have the freedom
to wear whatever you want on this campus.
But there is a certain moral code that dictates that no one who pays thousands of dol-lars a year to attend this fine university should ever wear enemy colors.
Duck fans on this campus: do what is right. Stop wearing green and yellow when walk-ing through campus or when cruising Monroe on a Friday night. On game day, retreat
to the confines of wherever you live and watch the Duck game alone or with your fellow traitors.
For the Beaver believers who go to OSU (which, in the-ory, should be everyone), you too have a moral obligation. When you see a fellow stu-dent wearing a Ducks football jersey or even a casual U of O polo, tell them that they are in the wrong. Let them know that they are committing an act of
treason against our school. This goes beyond sports.
This is about the moral fiber of our society as a whole and standing up for what we believe in. So for our sake and for our children’s sake, I urge you to do the right thing.
Yours truly,Alex Crawford

create a shot for herself when given the opportunity.“Jenna is great,” said freshman goalkeeper Sammy
Jo Prudhomme, who was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for her shutout of Utah. “It’s good for the team that we have a scoring threat up top. From the front, it’s better because I can get the ball up and I know that they can get it to somebody who can make something happen.”
In Richardson’s five starts since being used as a sub-stitute in the UC Irvine game, the Beavers are unde-feated and have outscored opponents 10-1. Richardson has accounted for four of those 10 goals, and said she’s starting to find a rhythm with her teammates.
“Initially going from team to team is always going to be a bit of burden upon a player,” Richardson said. “As excited as you are, sometimes you don’t realize you do have to take the time to get back into it. I’m pretty thankful it didn’t take me too long, I think I’m really feeling the flow with the team again.”
“We’re starting to click together more as a group,” Rhode said. “[Jenna’s] fitting in with our tactics and style of play. It’s all starting to come together.”
Richardson was named Pac-12 Player of the Week this week for her performance against Utah, and the Beavers would love it if she could continue her scoring ways this week against national powerhouses Stanford and Cal.
Last year against Stanford, it was Richardson who scored in the third minute to put OSU up 1-0 in a game the Beavers eventually lost, 2-1.

THE DAILY BAROMETER
• Sophomore punter Keith Kostol was named the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance on Saturday at UCLA. Kostol punted seven times for an average of 43.9 yards per punt, including one punt that went 61 yards. He also pinned the Bruins inside their own 20-yard line on four of the seven punts.
• Riley on Kostol: “I thought [Kostol] was outstanding as a matter of fact. We out-punted — or out-netted — a very good punter, and when you look at those small little games that are being played within the game, that’s a win because that guy’s really good.”
• Running backs Storm Woods and Malcolm Agnew both returned to prac-tice Tuesday after missing practice on Monday. Woods is dealing with a nag-ging ankle issue that has already kept him out of practice before Saturday’s game. Agnew was out Monday with a calf problem. Neither is considered serious.
• Sean Mannion was not throwing the ball at all during Monday’s practice due to a sore shoulder after the UCLA game. He was back to normal on Tuesday however.
Riley: “I said [Sunday] he had a sore arm and we were not going to throw him [Monday]. But he dressed up and did a lot of stuff.”

With the two sides unable to come to contract terms, the NFL locked out its referees before the preseason began. Here are some of the issues that are on the table between the NFL, its 32 owners and the 121 officials.
PAYThe money to pay officials
comes from a pot of $18 mil-lion funded by the league. The NFL wants an increase in the average salary for officials, who are part-time employees, from $149,000 to $189,000 by 2018. Referees (the head offi-cials) and officials who qualify for postseason games would make more, the league said. The raises each year would fall between 5 percent and
11 percent, the league said. The officials have asked for more, but have not publicly disclosed how much. They say the league, which has reve-nues of more than $9 billion per year, can afford it.
RETIREMENT PLANThe league wants to switch
from a pension plan to a 401k plan. The league said in a July statement: “No game official will lose any vested pension benefit under our proposal and the clubs will fully fund all pension obligations.” But the executive director of the referees association said in an open letter to the media last week that plan would transfer long-term investment risk to the officials and would cut the
league’s financial obligation by 60 percent. Tim Millis said 18 of the league’s teams have some form of defined-benefit program rather than a 401k system. The league said their plan will give the officials a larger retirement benefit. The officials have proposed that only new hires be moved to the 401k plan.
MORE RESERVE CREWSAccording to Peter King of
Sports Illustrated, the league would like to add three crews of seven people in reserve with the option to use these refer-ees to replace underperform-ing officials. That would add 21 officials to the pool and officials fear it would affect their job security. Referees are
only paid for games worked, so anyone who was “benched” would lose pay.
FULL-TIME OFFICIALSRight now each official
works a full-time job and refs in his free time. Officials also have to watch game tape, file reports to the league office and take a weekly written test on the rules. One veteran referee told ESPN that all that, cou-pled with keeping in shape, takes 30 hours a week. The league wants to hire seven full-time officials and have them handle training and scouting. The officials’ association has said it would be OK with that, if the referees were paid a fair amount.

RePLaceMent ReFs:
Four things NFL referees, league still negotiating
Sputtering frustration over replace-ment officials in the National Football League burst into full-on revolt after a controversial end-zone call that decided the fate — wrongly, it turns out — of Monday night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks.
“Fine me and use the money to pay the regular refs,” Packers guard T.J. Lang tweeted after the game ended, one in a series of profanity-laced tweets accusing the officials of taking the game from his team.
He wasn’t alone. Discussion of the call virtually took over Twitter in the United States and sparked rising calls for the NFL to quickly settle its labor dispute with officials.
Even the Fan-in-Chief weighed in. “NFL fans on both sides of the aisle hope the refs’ lockout is settled soon,” President Barack Obama said on his campaign’s Twitter account.
The NFL agreed Tuesday with angry fans, saying Green Bay should have won the game. But the league said a blown penalty call that should have invalidated Seattle’s victory wasn’t reviewable.
“The result of the game is final,” the league announced.
The Seahawks won 14-12 after replace-ment officials, standing in for locked-out NFL regulars, gave possession of a disput-ed ball to Seattle receiver Golden Tate. In what has already become a well-traveled and widely mocked image, two officials in the end-zone gave competing signals: one indicating a touchdown, the other an interception.
The decision withstood video review of footage that appeared to show that Tate had just one arm on the ball while Packers defensive back M.D. Jennings had both hands wrapped around it. The ball was pulled tight to Jennings’ chest.
The video also appeared to show Tate shoving a Packers defender in the back before going for the ball, a move that would normally draw an offensive pass interference penalty.
In its statement Tuesday, the league said that penalty should have been called and would have ended the game with a Packers victory. But it said the lack of a penalty wasn’t something officials could use instant replay to reverse.
As for the catch, the league said its offici-ating team reviewed the tape Tuesday and “supports the decision not to overturn the on-field ruling.”
Packers coach Mike McCarthy declined to specifically address the call in his post-game news conference but said later that he had “never seen anything like that in all my years in football.”
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, one of several players who commented on the situation, called the officiating “awful.”
Coming away with a close win, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was less critical.
“From what I understand from the offi-cials, it was a simultaneous catch, that’s how they called it,” Carroll told reporters. “Tag goes to the runner. Good call.”
But he said it’s still time for the dispute to end.
“It’s a very, very complex process to handle these games and make the deci-
sions, and there’s nothing easy about it,” he said. “And it takes years and years of experience to pull it off properly and in a timely fashion and to keep the flow of the game alive and all of that, and it’s just time for it to be over.”
“The league deserves it,” Carroll said. “Everybody deserves it.”
While criticizing officials is a major no-no in the league, NFL spokesman Greg Aiellio said league executives “are not focused on player tweets or comments.”
Controversy over the replacement offi-cials has been simmering since the pre-season. A series of missed or muffed calls has riled coaches, players and fans, many of whom have called for a resolution of the labor dispute for weeks.
Sticking points include salary issues and changes to the retirement program for officials.
The league declined to say if they would go back to the negotiating table with offi-cials in response to the criticism.
“We’re not commenting on the status of negotiations,” spokesman Aiello said.
On Thursday, the NFL Players Association sent a letter to league owners saying the decision to hire replacement officials “has led to a deteriorating of order, safety and integrity.”
“This affirmative decision has not only resulted in poor calls, missed calls and bad game management, but the combination of those deficiencies will only continue to jeopardize player health and safety and the integrity of the game that has taken decades to build,” the union wrote.

California is the latest state to allow testing of Google’s self-driving cars on the roads, though only with a human passenger along as a safety measure.
Gov. Edmund “Jerry” Brown signed the autonomous-vehicles bill into law Tuesday afternoon alongside Google co-founder Sergey Brin and State Sen. Alex Padilla, who authored the bill, at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California. The bill, SB 1298, will set up procedures and requirements for deter-mining when the cars are road-ready.
Brin hopes that self-driving cars will able to drive on public streets in five years or less.
“Anybody who first gets in the car and finds the car is driving will be a little skit-tish. But they’ll get over it.” said Brown when asked if the California Highway Patrol was on board with the plan.
The cars use a combina-tion of technologies, includ-ing radar sensors on the front, video cameras aimed at the surrounding area, various other sensors and artificial-intelligence software that
helps steer. Google is the most visible company working on these types of vehicles, but similar projects are under way at other organizations, includ-ing Caltech.
Google has already been testing the cars on the road in Nevada, which passed a law last year authorizing driv-erless vehicles. Both Nevada and California require the cars to have a human behind the wheel who can take control of the vehicle at any time.
So far, the cars have have racked up more than 300,000 driving miles, and 50,000 of those miles were without any intervention from the human drivers, Google says.
There have been no acci-dents while the cars were controlled by the computer. The only documented acci-dent with one of the Google vehicles was a fender bender that took place while a human was in control.
Brin, who sported a pair of Google glasses at the media event without comment, said the cars could address a vari-ety of current transportation issues. First and foremost, he said, the self-driving cars
would be safer than human-driven cars. There were just under 33,000 deaths from motor vehicle accidents in the United States in 2010.
They also could ferry around people who are usually unable to to drive, such as blind people.
“Some people have other disabilities, some people are too young, some people are too old, sometimes we’re too intoxicated,” said Brin.
Ideally, a car that drives itself can minimize traffic by chaining together with other self-driving vehicles and using highways more efficiently. Drivers wouldn’t be limited to
listening to NPR and honking during their morning com-mute; instead they could use that time to be productive, like the millions of people who take public transit currently do.
Brin also discussed the many parking lots in urban and suburban areas, calling them “a scar to the surface of the Earth.” Self-driving cars would be able to drop you off at work and then pick up another person instead of idling in a parking lot. If you did opt to own your own car, it could park itself in the most efficient way possible.

Lastly, I must say: Never give up. You can beat your depres-sion when you take the proper steps. You do not have to suffer alone — seek help if you need it, then actively fight it with the proper mentality using things that make you happy. The suggestions above are merely suggestions that have helped me with my depression; you must personally find some-thing that you enjoy doing to
bring you happiness. Do it when you are feeling down, no matter how much you may not want to. It may be reading a book, taking a walk, being with friends, playing music or listening to music. Whatever it is, do what you love doing, and what makes you happy. Talk with your therapist; they will help you understand how you are feeling, and provide ways to help you feel better. I wish all of you good luck fight-ing your depression. I hope you beat it, and move on to thoroughly enjoy life.
