nd kicks off 2014 season with changes

New turf, new uniforms and new tickets debut at football home opener

was not completely foolproof.

By MADISON JAROS

notre d ame students began this year’s football season with ponchos and umbrellas, cheering the i rish to victory in the face of stormy weather and recent game-day changes made by the university.

This weekend, notre d ame not only debuted uniforms from under a rmour and a new turf field, but also instituted a system which allows students to forgo the traditional ticket booklet in favor of electronic tickets on their smartphones.

Freshman e nrique p ajuelo said he appreciated the convenience of the “etickets,” even though the new procedure

“i’ve been told by sophomores that [in the past] you had to carry all the tickets with you all the time, so with the phone it was easier, but the main problem was that almost all i p hones run out of battery really fast,” he said. a lthough she agreed the electronic tickets were convenient, senior a nnie p lachta said she was disappointed that she would now be unable to have a booklet as a reminder of her last football season at notre d ame.

Saint Mary’s announces new major

By KELLY KONYA

s aint mary’s e ditor

saint mary’s announced Friday the establishment of a new academic department, the department of g ender and women’s studies ( gws ), and a new interdisciplinary major in gws director of media relations gwen o’brien said the c ollege has offered a minor in women’s studies since 1985, and the program was named gws in 2012. i n February of this year, the academic a ffairs c ouncil approved gws as a major, and the minor remains an option for undergraduate students.

stacy davis, associate professor and coordinator of the gws p rogram, said the process for recognition as a major began in 2007, and the program just received administrative

approval to become a major and department.

“The gws steering committee, with the help of associate dean Joe i ncandela, spent the 2011-12 school year developing a three-page prospectus for the major,” davis said. “This was approved by the president and the provost in may 2013. i n the meantime, the program had a successful internal review, which helped us to make our case for the major.”

once the prospectus was approved, the curriculum c ommittee had to greenlight the major.

“p rofessors susan a lexander, phyllis Kaminski, s onalini sapra, Jamie wagman [and i ] drafted the proposal for the major, which was reviewed by gws faculty last fall,” she said.

“The curriculum c ommittee approved the proposal in

February, and the chair of that committee, Joyce h icks, presented the proposal to the academic a ffairs council, which accepted it. once the major was approved, the program became a department.”

The gws department consists of gws faculty and professors from several other departments at saint mary’s, davis said. gws curriculum encourages students to examine and analyze women’s lives, she said.

according to the 2014 smc bulletin, gws applies an inclusive and interdisciplinary approach to the study of women, gender identities and sexualities. it is guided by feminist activism and feminist theoretical insight into different forms of power, inequality and privilege. w ithin each course in the department, students investigate the intersections of gender, race, class, sexualities and other identity categories from historical and contemporary transnational perspectives.

gws, founded in 1984-85, was the oldest interdisciplinary program at saint mary’s, and davis said it was important to make the transition to having a gws department and major.

“The best liberal arts colleges in the country, and especially women’s colleges, have traditionally had departments [or] programs in women’s, g ender, s exuality and/or Feminist studies,” she said. “Forty-four of the top 50 liberal arts colleges have programs, and 32 of those colleges, including all

of the women’s colleges, have majors.

“o ur faculty concluded that transitioning from a program to a department would be another sign of the c ollege’s continued commitment to high-quality education.”

The department offers courses housed within gws,

“[GWS] gives students an opportunity to learn about social issues.”

Kylie Garabed

Intended GWS major

as well as courses from 14 other departments and programs, davis said.

“These include courses in a frican-a merican history, postcolonial women’s writing, lgbTQ studies, stereotyping and prejudice, becoming women, cyberfeminism, romantic-era feminism and transnational feminisms,” she said. “... o ur goal is that students who take courses in the department learn the history of feminist movements and gain an understanding of the relationships between gender and other identity categories (race, class, sexuality, etc.) and how those relationships affect people’s lives, both positively and negatively. students can then use their knowledge to speak and write clearly about issues and topics surrounding women, sexualities and gender identities and decide what

contributions they want to make in the ongoing struggles for gender and sexual equality.”

sophomore Kylie garabed is the first intended gws major at the c ollege.

garabed said the gws major appealed to her because she is passionate about combating social injustice and wants to acquire the tools necessary to understanding social issues in society.

“[ gws ] gives students an opportunity to learn about social issues and hopefully become passionate enough to want to make a change,” garabed said. “even though it may not be possible to change the whole culture, it is possible to change the people around you ... and solve problems.”

davis said she hopes the department continues to be a place that nurtures both faculty and student development.

“it is exciting for me that the number of course offerings and affiliated faculty continues to grow,” davis said. “o ver the last several years, we have graduated a healthy number of [ gws ] minors from a variety of majors, from art to nursing.

“That gives us confidence that we will be able to attract majors to our department. i think any student who is interested in the history of women and gender, plans to work in a social service field or wants to change the world will find a gws major useful and empowering.”

rome global gateway names new director

By GUIDO GUERRA

n ews w riter

p rofessor Theodore J. c achey, Jr., who assumed the position of director of the new n otre d ame g lobal g ateway center in r ome, italy in June 2014, aims to bolster both the program’s e uropean credentials and connection to the university.

a ccording to the program’s website, the g lobal g ateways are campuses around the world – b eijing, c hicago, d ublin, Jerusalem, l ondon and now r ome – where international researchers and faculty come together with n otre d ame faculty and students to interact and cooperate on discussion and research. The g ateways’ mission is fundamentally interdisciplinary, as exhibited by their hosting of faculty and students of other programs and institutes, as well as symposia and workshops.

r ome’s g ateway is housed in a newly renovated, 32,000-square-foot

facility one block from the c olosseum through which it will host academic colloquia, seminars and forums as well as faculty and graduate students conducting research.

p rior to c achey’s arrival and the christening of the new site, no such means for expansion existed for n otre d ame in r ome. The g ateways go beyond standard study abroad programs to furnish a greater capacity for academics, c achey said.

c achey said he hopes to see a rise in the number of undergraduate applications to study abroad in r ome for a semester or entire scholastic year. h e also said he expects to see a climb in the number of students traveling abroad on internships and

grants, such as those offered by the n anovic i nstitute for e uropean s tudies, and conducting research during the summer and breaks.

“The goal of the [ r ome g lobal g ateway] is to encourage more students to pursue education abroad opportunities in r ome and to enrich the variety and the quality of those opportunities,” he said.

The g lobal g ateway will support and work with various organizations and institutes doing research in r ome and throughout italy, c achey said. a n early case in point is its support of a postdoctoral fellow of the the c ushwa c enter for the s tudy of a merican c atholicism tasked with crafting a guide to “ r oman a rchival s ources for the h istory of u s c atholicism, 1776-1939.” g oing forward, a biannual conference focused on issues facing the global c hurch will also emerge from this partnership. a n upcoming n anovic-sponsored conference, “ s ources of the c ivic:

c atholic h igher e ducation and d emocracy in e urope,” will bring together leaders of e uropean c atholic universities to deliberate various ideas of civic education and the singular role these c atholic institutions play in promoting virtues central to civic life.

“The r ome g ateway offers an ideal platform for the global expression, the distillation really, of n otre d ame’s c atholic mission in research, education and service,” he said.

w ith n otre d ame’s status as one of the world’s premier centers of study for d ante and medieval italian literature, the program aims to stimulate research and scholastic collaboration with international peers, c achey said.

“ i plan to do within my own field of expertise what i invite colleagues from across the university to do, that is, to utilize the r ome g lobal g ateway as a vehicle for fostering innovative research and teaching in my field,” he said.

n otre d ame’s main campus will not be left out of these developments. Though the program is still in its infancy, c achey cites early examples, such as new undergraduate internships at the vatican and short-term graduate fellowships in r ome, as foreshadowing future developments.

“ i anticipate that there will be many positive changes and enhancements at n otre d ame’s home campus as the faculty and students in s outh b end become increasingly aware of the opportunities presented by the fact that n otre d ame is operating a major research and educational center in r ome,” c achey said. “Through coursework, research, service and through a linguistic and cultural immersion in the contemporary reality of the ‘ e ternal c ity,’ we invite the n otre d ame student to become citizens of the world.”

biologist receives research grant

By SARAH VANCE news writer

notre dame biology profes-

sor Zachary T. s chafer recently received a research s cholar grant from the a merican c ancer s ociety ( acs ) to further his research on breast cancer treatment.

The grant is funded by l ee national d enim day, a program sponsored by l ee Jeans, in which people donate $5 for an opportunity to wear jeans to work. according to the website, the program has raised more than $91 million dollars for the fight against breast cancer, and $792,000 of that total will go toward furthering p rofessor s chafer’s research project, “The evasion of detachmenti nduced metabolic d efects in breast c ancer.”

“[ it is] great to be part of the d epartment of biological s ciences here where there is a significant track record of obtaining substantial extramural funding in spite of the difficult funding climate,” he said. “i’m very grateful for the support from the acs and for the funds

from national d enim day.”

s chafer said his research primarily deals with exploring the metastatic cascade, or the molecular mechanisms that cancer cells use to survive while traveling from the site of the primary tumor to distant sites in the body.

“ we have data demonstrating that pathways involved in cellular metabolism are critical for the survival of cancer cells during metastasis,”

s chafer said. “[ we] hope that better understanding how cancer cell metabolism is regulated will open up new targets for the development of drugs that target metastasizing cancer cells for elimination.”

s chafer said gaining this understanding could greatly enhance how breast cancer patients are treated and potentially reduce mortality rates.

“This type of chemotherapeutic strategy could be particularly helpful in that it could inhibit metastasis. most patients that die from cancer die due to metastasis,” he

The new under a rmour uniforms, on the other hand, were a good change, junior football captain and defensive lineman s heldon d ay said.

“[The new uniforms were] excellent, especially with the nice, tight fit around the body. you’re just feeling good,” he said.

The changes made to the uniforms were not obvious from the student section, however, junior a bbey d ankoff said.

“i don’t think there’s that much difference,” she said. “i f there was, you couldn’t tell. i’m pretty pumped about the s hamrock s eries uniforms though. i think under a rmour has taken the design to a new level.”

w hile the switch to under a rmour is not necessarily apparent from the student section, it is very clear while shopping at the bookstore, p lachta said.

“i liked having the grass,” he said. “ we have such an old stadium, and it’s so traditional … having the grass, and being one of the last teams to have grass was really nice.”

d ankoff, though, said the switch to turf was long overdue.

thought it would look worse with the turf instead of the grass since grass is such a tradition and it’s so natural - a Notre Dame kind of thing. But I guess it proved that even though there are changes, change can be good.”

Freshman i van c arballude said it was unfortunate that notre d ame had to give up

“i think that it just allows for a better-played game,” she said. “The athletes don’t have to worry about slipping in mud, don’t have to worry about puddles on the field. it’s kind of ridiculous. we were one of the only teams to still have grass, and it’s just the way the game is evolving. it’s not that it takes away from the tradition of the stadium.”

Junior megan mc c uen echoed the thoughts of many students regarding the new turf and game-day changes in general.

summer, saint mary’s director of media relations gwen o’brien said. wiedower’s installation in the position will occur sept. 7.

The college has not yet announced a new vice president for its division of mission.

wiedower said she was surprised her fellow sisters elected her as president, but she said she believes in her ability to lead.

“For me, it’s a feeling of being humbled by people putting their faith in you as a leader,” she said. “i’m excited and have some gifts to share.”

a motherhouse of the congregation of the sisters of the holy cross is on the saint mary’s campus in bertrand hall, so although sr. wiedower will not move far, her focus will shift.

“i’m moving from the perspectives of college women to the perspective of women religious, a more global perspective, as we are in eight countries around the world, including the u s., mexico, peru, brazil, bangladesh, india, ghana and uganda,” she said.

wiedower, an alum of saint mary’s, said the college has been an important part of her life for many years, and she will miss the opportunity to make a difference there.

“i have had the privilege to sit at the cabinet table and invite others to see the mission in all of the decisions that we make,” she said. wiedower said her ability to listen to the students, staff and faculty and encourage them to live the mission of the college is one of her greatest contributions to the school.

“The heritage of the sisters isn’t something of the past, but it’s something that we carry today,” she said. “i’ve seen signs of people picking up on that, especially

with students leaders. [There is] a desire to be part of the heritage of student leaders moving forward.”

most of all, wiedower said she will miss the motivation provided by working closely with students.

“it’s life-giving for me to be here because the students bring me life,” she said. “The students keep us in touch with the new, the vision for the future.

“They make me want to be a better person, and i find their spirit inside myself.”

wiedower said the mission of saint mary’s has the potential to impact the world when students live out what they learn.

“[holy cross founder] Father [basil] moreau’s mission was to provide an education so that people could make a difference in the world,” she said. “our students have so much potential to make that difference. if they can live the spirit of that, [the mission] multiplies.

“There’s a need out there, and i think saint mary’s women can help to change the world, to meet the needs.”

wiedower said she encourages students to make the most of their time on campus and utilize their resources.

“it’s important for women at saint mary’s to make use of the time when they are surrounded by role models so that they do grow in that sense of mission,” she said.

wiedower said the administrative leaders of both saint mary’s and the sisters of the holy cross meet annually to discuss issues that affect both groups on campus.

“it’s a great privilege to be here and be asked to serve in both positions,” she said. “as they say, once a belle, always a belle.”

realizing its significance. s he said the religious order had the books appraised and then contacted n otre d ame, who purchased them with grants from the l ibrary a cquisitions Fund and the o ffice of r esearch, with letters of support from history and a merican s tudies faculty. The s isters then brought the book to campus and gave it to the university at a special m ass in the l og c hapel in late June.

c ummings said the c ushwa c enter and the l ibrary were interested in making the acquisition because the b ible linked two early a merican church leaders as well as other aspects of the early c hurch in the united s tates.

“The way the b ible brings together the story of c atholics at every level – the leadership, the laity and religious – that’s enormously important,” she said. “The Fr. b adin connection makes it special, but the significance is far larger.”

m argaret a bruzzo, an associate professor of history at the university of a labama, who is studying the correspondence between c arroll and b adin as part of a project with the c ushwa c enter, said the b ible also is significant because of its rareness. s he said the b ible was printed by m atthew c arey, an i rish immigrant in p hiladelphia. The edition, which had only 500 copies, was the second full b ible published in the united s tates and the first c atholic translation.

“[ c arey] was interested in kind of refuting the idea that c atholics didn’t read the b ible,” a bruzzo said. “ h e wanted to get the c atholic b ible into people’s hands because it was very important

to c atholics at the time that they read the c atholic version of the b ible rather than the p rotestant version.”

a bruzzo said the b ible, which contains an inscription from c arroll to b adin, speaks to the closeness of their relationship at a time when the a merican c atholic c hurch was small and far-flung.

“ b adin would write questions to c arroll, and c arroll would write answers,” she said. “ h e was a source of advice for b adin.

“ w hen there were issues, c arroll would intervene, so sort of imagine something that is a very, very, very small version of any sort of diocese today. i magine c arroll running the c atholic c hurch out of his garage. it’s that level of informality. They’re really trying to create a church from scratch.”

m c m anus said the b ible, which shows signs of heavy use, will be on display this semester in s pecial c ollections, and it will be the subject of a symposium o ct. 10. s he said the b ible will be available for scholars, who may study the book’s binding, marginal

notes or relationship to b adin’s other writings and letters.

“c onnecting those letters to this time frame, and knowing where the b ible lived, that’s all of interest as well,” she said. “ i ts biggest use is just gesturing towards this big story of the very early 1800s [when] c atholicism was very much a minority religion. Things could have gone very differently, but this is a piece of the evidence for how it did go, especially that westward movement.”

c ummings said faculty can bring classes to see the b ible, and researchers also can study the b ible’s translation and inscription.

“ r esearchers who come – b ible scholars, scholars of a merican history – it will be a text that will be studied by them for a long time now,” she said. “a lot of people come to n otre d ame to do research on c atholicism, and so it’s a crossroads of source to scholars, so it will definitely get more exposure.”

said. “i n excess of 90 percent of cancer mortalities are due to metastasis.”

h is research also explores how cancer cells shut down anoikis, a programmed cell death that inhibits cancer cell growth, and ways in which cancer cells use nutrient consumption to survive in an abnormal environment.

“a s we accumulate more information about breast cancer biology and technology improves over time, we will move towards individualized cancer treatment,” he said. “using this information, physicians may be able to personalize therapies to target each person’s cancer most effectively.”

The funds will help s chafer maintain the supplies, staff and scope his research requires.

“The grant will go mostly towards salaries for laboratory personnel and supplies for our experiments,” he said. “it also supports travel to conferences to disseminate the results of our research.”

s chafer also believes that the fight against breast cancer and other diseases is a team effort.

“g et involved in research,” he said. “There are a number of possible research-related careers that students can pursue, and all can contribute in unique ways to helping fight diseases like breast cancer.”

rey KJaviK, iceland — lava fountains danced along a lengthy volcanic fissure near iceland’s subglacial bardarbunga volcano sunday, prompting authorities to raise the aviation warning code to the highest level and close the surrounding airspace.

The red warning code — the highest in the country’s alert system — was raised early sunday after the eruption in the holuhraun lava field, about five kilometers (three miles) north of the dyngjujoekull glacier. The warning was lowered 12 hours later as visibility improved and it was clear that no volcanic ash was detected.

The country’s meteorological agency said scientists were monitoring the ongoing eruption.

“visual observation confirms

it is calm, but continuous,” the weather agency said on its website.

sunday morning’s eruption at about 0500 gmT (1 a.m. edT) followed a smaller one in the same site on Friday that also prompted authorities to briefly raise the aviation warning code to restrict flights in the area. Thousands of small earthquakes have rocked the region in recent days, leading to concerns that the main volcano may erupt.

The aviation warning meant that no flights were allowed in the airspace north of the fissure eruption area, up to 6,000 feet (1.1 miles) from the ground. aviation officials said the restrictions do not affect commercial flights, which fly much higher than that.

authorities said lava fountains of about 50 meters (165 feet) high

erupted sunday from the fissure, estimated to be almost a mile (1.6 kms) long.

The fissure eruption appeared about 40 kilometers (28 miles) from the main bardarbunga volcano, which lies under the vast vatnajokull glacier that dominates the eastern corner of iceland.

Though remote and sparsely populated, the area is popular with hikers in the summer. officials earlier evacuated all tourists in the region after intense seismic activity there. although sunday’s fissure eruption was more powerful than the one on Friday, experts say the situation is contained and is unlikely to result in the same level of aviation chaos as 2010. in april that year, an eruption at the eyjafjallajokull volcano wreaked havoc on travelers.

internship appetizers

Jodi Lo a ssociate photo e ditor

summer is over. even sadder is that the season for recruitment and job fairs has creeped up and started.

as a senior, i feel like i am well within my rights to give the younger general population important advice: Forget everything and assume nothing about internships. somehow, the word internship has gained new meanings within the notre dame culture. internships are about being able to learn in a new environment and gain experience from mentors and supervisors while hopefully having fun along the way, yet we as a student body have warped this word into a social indicator of intelligence and charisma. an internship is no longer about having fun and transitioning into adulthood; it’s about showing off to others how successful and social you are and about getting a job offer with a good salary well before you finish school. it’s the cultural crime of notre dame. we are all victims to the unhealthy internship mentality. we need to work against it. There’s a rather easy solution to this problem, and perhaps the solution also will help you succeed with your future interviews and careers. don’t go and put all of your eggs into the big name companies’ baskets and only those baskets. i can’t stress enough that sometimes those companies just don’t suit you, and an internship shouldn’t be about the ability to brag about working for google or deloitte for the summer. Just go out and look for something that interests you, something that you enjoy doing.

if you do that, you won’t be another person applying simply because of the company’s name. you won’t have to feign interest to score the internship. and if you get the internship, you won’t be bored out of your mind doing something you actively dislike or don’t care about.

an internship is about having an appetizer for your career, and the best part is that internships are simply that: appetizers. you don’t like it? well, good thing you ordered something else. if you enjoyed it, order yourself another dish just like it. don’t pick an appetizer based on the price tag; pick it because it suits your taste buds and it’s what you enjoy. This is your life we are talking about. do you really want to pick something based on other peoples’ views instead of your own? you, yes you, are a capable human being with a stellar personality and an intellectual mind. put that mind to use in an internship that excites you. i would like to wish everyone good luck in their internship and job-hunting endeavors. remember, it’s only the career Fair.

Electronics can aid learning

my laptop comes everywhere with me. it comes with me to both work where it gets scratched, and on vacation where it gets a frightening dent. it goes online with me, from studying the history of the republican party for a research paper and to learning how to incorporate handfasting into a wedding, because sometimes it’s hard to stop following links.

but the one place it goes every day is into the classroom, and where it connects from there is my business only. some teachers, especially in lectures, discourage the use of laptops or check out what a student is viewing. i believe this is an invasion of privacy and ultimately unhelpful to a student’s career.

Typical laptop usage in a classroom ranges from taking notes on word documents, onenote lists and powerpoint slides. however, no one can deny that sometimes it just isn’t enough. l ecture halls aren’t always the engaging, illuminating method of delivery that some believe they are. i’ve had this problem since i learned to read – i want to know more. i want to g oogle new case studies or take the test or quiz the teacher mentioned. i f a teacher doesn’t provide the stimulation i want, i go looking for it.

From a purely economic standpoint, it’s the way i want to spend my money. The average cost of a three-hour class at K-state for an in-state student is $973.75. divided into 28 sessions for a class meeting Tuesdays and Thursdays, where boredom surfing is more likely since the classes are longer, it’s $34.77 per class.

i f i don’t feel like i’m getting roughly $35 worth of information, discussion, understanding or growth out of that day, why not seek it elsewhere? i want to see new content and viewpoints, graphics and expanded horizons. a classmate of mine used his phone a few days ago to ask a professor an ethics question after searching for more information about a certain historical figure. i remember that the most out of that entire lecture. To curtail this sort of non-traditional learning increases the likelihood that students won’t make their own personal connections to the material.

i’m not going to pretend all of my extracurricular g oogling is for the greater scholastic good. i also check my social media and read the news. college students lead some of the most stressful lives in the u s., and we

continue to look down on them for taking breaks.

The massachusetts i nstitute of Technology’s center for academic e xcellence suggests the most effective studying is done in one-hour blocks. The breaks might actually be productive if spaced efficiently during class time. The added stress of students hiding what they’re doing or worrying about the teacher seeing them doesn’t allow for a learning environment where everyone is relaxed, which only further distances students from the material. however, this freedom means an increase in responsibility for grades. Taking charge of the information absorbed also increases the duty of sifting through and making sense of it. it’s not just a personal laptop either: checking Twitter over someone’s shoulder and taking notes at the same time can be just as distracting as reading your own feed. Former teaching assistant and education columnist rebecca schuman wrote in slate magazine she feels banning laptops creates a “13th grade classroom.”

“policing the (otherwise non-disruptive) behavior of students further infantilizes these 18-to-22-year-olds,” schuman said. “a lready these students are hand-held through so many steps in the academic process: i check homework; i give quizzes about the syllabus to make sure they’ve actually read it … these practices also serve as giant, scholastic water wings for people who should really be swimming by now.”

i f you need a 3.5 gpa and you haven’t looked up from your screen all semester, you won’t find help from the instructor very easily. your professor has the right to bump you to the bottom of the list during packed office hours or mark you harshly on essays that cover topics from the lecture. i nstructors are justified in their annoyance when they present information and their students don’t listen, then ask them to explain it later. a s adults, we should be able to judge what needs our full attention and what can just stay open in the next window while we check sportscenter. w hen teachers don’t receive respect, students won’t get it back. balance your time wisely to make the most of your electronics and your learning.

c hange the way government does business

For this past week, business and political circles have been abuzz with the news of another tax inversion deal, this one struck between b urger King and c anadian coffee giant Tim h ortons.

i n the simplest terms, tax inversion is when a business entity chooses to relocate its headquarters to a nation with lower tax rates relative to its current location in order to avoid costs. m embers of the d emocratic p arty have lambasted companies that make such moves as “corporate deserters” ( p resident b arack o bama) and lacking in “economic patriotism” (Treasury s ecretary Jack l ew).

s eemingly, these critics would rather turn the situation into a talking point on the malevolence of corporations than attempt to address the problem it brings to the forefront: The united s tates is becoming less and less a business-friendly, progrowth nation.

i am going to venture into a few concepts some politicians apparently find hard to understand. First, the primary objectives of a firm are to satisfy shareholders, increase profit and expand influence and market share. s econd, taxes paid by a firm to the government decrease profit and hinder the objectives of that firm.

b earing these evidently incomprehensible, perhaps reprehensible to some, business principles in mind, it makes sense for corporations to move to areas of lesser taxation. c orporations do not choose to move in an attempt to harm the nations they occupy; they move to satisfy their objectives. s atisfying these objectives leads to profitability,

which permits corporations to expand and create more jobs and also pleases shareholders and encourages them to continue investing. n ations that act as host to corporations stand to benefit from the increase in employment and investment dollars.

a n analogy can be found in the controversy that surrounded professional golfer p hil m ickelson nearly two years ago when he spoke openly about the possibility of moving out of c alifornia for tax reasons. h e had recently won the b ritish o pen and was said to have been taxed over $100,000 on his winnings in a state whose tax rates are among the highest in the nation. m ickelson later recanted his remarks, but they highlighted the fact that even individuals consider changing their lifestyles to avoid monetary dispossession.

i am not defending m ickelson’s comments per se, simply emphasizing the point that if taxes grow too high, governments risk losing revenue. For those who do not prefer p hil’s golfing style or persona, Tiger woods stated during the m ickelson controversy that he actually left c alifornia in 1996 to avoid the high taxes there.

The issue comes full circle to our critics, p resident o bama and s ecretary l ew, who promote higher taxation of job creators and investors.

r esponsibility should not be placed on corporations to hold unquestioning loyalty to their host nations when business environments become antithetical to the objectives of the firm; the responsibility lies with governments of nations to keep their business taxation policies competitive.

i by no means advocate for governments to be beholden to corporate desires or for the abolition of taxation – far from it. i nstead, i simply believe our nation (and individual states, for that matter)

should be cognizant of the international business environment and strike the correct balance between benefitting both corporations and the nation’s citizens or government. i s it so difficult to consider that business actually may not be the enemy of nations?

This segues into another perpetual issue, that perhaps instead of the government worrying about how it will supply its ever-growing bureaucracy with funds, it should concern itself with making the government apparatus smaller, more manageable and fiscally feasible. e fficiency is not something to be feared; it is something to be strived for.

The federal government holds nearly $18 trillion of debt, almost $1 trillion more than the entire united s tates gdp a s of 2012, 22 million people were employed by the local, state and federal governments, a staggering 16% of the a merican workforce, according to the u s d epartment of l abor’s b ureau of l abor s tatistics.

w hy not attempt to decrease our risks instead of trying to fund and proliferate them? w hy continue to prolong programs that are outdated and impractical? w hy continue the trend of normative government expansion that leads only to continually unfathomable debt?

it is time for our government to change the way it does business. i f it doesn’t, p hil m ickelson and b urger King won’t be able to make up the difference.

[Editor’s note: This article is part of a series called “Weekly Watch,” in which a Scene writer reviews a movie or show available on an instant streaming service each week].

w hen writer and director paul Thomas a nderson began work on “The master” following 2007’s critically acclaimed “There will be blood,” talk about the film’s controversial themes was abuzz. namely, the film’s rumored focus on the church of scientology dominated the conversation leading up to the film’s release. Questions arose about whether a nderson would admit the religious group inspired the movie or how much the character lancaster dodd, played by philip seymour hoffman, was based on scientology’s founder l ron hubbard.

even after the film’s premiere at the venice Film Festival, these questions dominated press coverage, with articles dedicated to a nderson’s statements as he confirmed scientology was indeed a source of inspiration for the film. w hat often wasn’t discussed amidst the speculation about scientology’s presence in the film was its actual role in “The master.” From the beginning of production, many assumed the film was a thinly-veiled history of a religion or a condemnation of its practices. but while “The master” centers on a vulnerable world war ii veteran (Joaquin phoenix) who meets dodd, the leader of a nascent religious movement called The cause, the hubbard-inspired cause is only one small part of a larger story about depression and isolation in postwar a merica.

“The master” opens with a portrait of troubled protagonist Freddie Quell, played by the incredibly talented Joaquin phoenix, at the end of world war ii. Quell, a crude, violent man, is difficult to like, even as he tries and fails to assimilate to postwar life. long, painfullyawkward shots of Quell’s confrontations with nearly everyone he meets show the extent of his dysfunction. with little dialogue in the first half hour of the film, we see Quell, an alcoholic likely

suffering from pTsd, entirely alone in the world. The world around Quell in the film’s introduction, however, is breathtaking. with cinematographer mihai malaimare Jr., a nderson shot “The master” entirely in 65-millimeter film, and the result is a super-saturated look emulating the vistavision films of the 1950s. The long, wide shots are stunning and distinctly a nderson, but the choice of vistavision film is just one way the director nods to the culture of the 1950s. in fact, a nderson cites the entertainment of the 1950s as central to the film. with its Technicolor visuals and peppering of songs from the 50s, the film is undeniably attempting to capture the feeling of that particular time. in an interview for the washington post, a nderson describes the music of the postwar era: “[e ]verything was about ‘seeing you again’ or ‘i’ll find you someday,’ . you’re talking about finding ways to go back in time and to pick up some lost piece.”

Just as the songs of the 1950s were soaked in nostalgia and sentimentality, so are the characters in “The master.” at the very start of the film, as Quell is being discharged from the navy, he is asked during a psychiatric evaluation about a crying spell he had while serving. Quell responds that he was not crying, but rather suffering from nostalgia.

Quell’s psychiatric evaluation hints at the theme of nostalgia in “The master” and also gives insight into how dodd’s The cause fits later in the film and how something like The cause came to be in the postwar era. Quell’s psychiatric evaluation is filled with pseudoscience and trendy psychology: he gets a rorschach test and dream analysis from the united states military. given this context, the science-fictionlike cause and Quell’s involvement with the religious group seems considerably less outlandish. rather than criticize or even attempt to completely understand the inner workings of scientology, the inspiration for The cause, a nderson uses the religious movement as a symptom of its time.

The cause, like postwar a merica, is characterized by desire for the past. dodd hypnotizes followers to summon memories from their

infancy, hints at previous lives and talks of time travel. w hile the rest of a merica is romantic in their nostalgia, dodd crystallizes the desire for the past with rigid rules, tenets and scientific claims. The cause combats postwar depression with the promise of a new life, as the new life the a merican military promised veterans like Quell failed to come to fruition.

Though the film centers on themes of nostalgia and rebirth and uses the songs and even film style of the time, “The master” is, most importantly, not nostalgic itself. The camera’s unwavering gaze at Quell’s and dodd’s lowest and most uncomfortable moments creates a sense of realism that exists outside the film’s nostalgic themes. instead, “The master” ultimately is about Quell and dodd in the midst of this puzzling and largely unstable postwar era. They are two men trying to find meaning and belonging with each other, with dodd creating order and collecting followers, including Quell, his lost and needy subject. ultimately, the two fail each other: dodd’s need for control and Quell’s unbridled violence create discord impossible to overcome, and the men end up despondent and alone.

interestingly, the 1950s is looked back upon fondly in modern a merica, labeled an era of booming opportunity and purity. as i watched the film, a friend remarked that the 50s-esque cinematography looked “like a filter,” one of the options we choose from on the instagram app. our obsession with the nostalgic look suggests a belief in a simpler and happier time decades ago, but a nderson shows that though the 1950s may look idyllic through vistavision glasses, something much more complex occurred.

This, of course, parallels the themes of the film itself: Just as we share the delusion of a perfect 1950s a merica, Quell and the rest of the nation desperately cling to the past as they seek comfort in a postwar world, and “The master” reminds us that what we hold on to may be only something we create rather than what truly was.

The Golson show

Everett Golson accounts for five touchdowns in Notre Dame’s 48-17 win over Rice

It’s time to hope again at Notre Dame

Irish head coach brian Kelly described Notre Dame’s win saturday against rice as “clean.”

It wasn’t because the new Fieldturf eliminated the potential for mud stains on Irish uniforms once the rain started coming down.

For the most part, Notre Dame stayed clean by avoiding sloppy mistakes.

the team picked up only two penalties in 60 minutes of play and didn’t turn the ball over.

every trip to the red zone yielded points for the Irish.

the returners accumulated double-digit positive yardage.

oh, and that Golson guy had a great game as well, collecting 336 yards, dishing out two touchdown passes and running in three scores. but just because the game was clean doesn’t mean it was perfect.

Notre Dame started the game with two three-and-outs, missed a field goal and punted once more, all before halftime.

the defense fell apart on a few big plays and got burned for a 19-yard rush, passes of 16, 26 (twice), 30 and 53 yards, the last of which was good for a touchdown.

C.J. Prosise let go of a likely touchdown bomb from Golson that would’ve given the Irish a 21-10 lead instead of 14-10.

No, it wasn’t perfect, but after all, this was the season opener. there always will be early kinks to work out, and there’s plenty of time left in the season to fix those.

It’s not time to panic, but it’s also not time to buy a “Notre Dame: 2015 National Champions” t-shirt or book flights to arlington, texas.

Yes, the owls won Conference Usa last year and earned 10 wins, one more than the Irish. Notre Dame certainly didn’t beat a bad team.

but every Irish fan knows the first big test is next week against michigan, even though Kelly said the final installment of the rivalry “counts the same as the rice game.” still, without several key players saturday — notably austin Collinsworth because of an mCL injury and Keivarae russell, Davaris Daniels and Ishaq Williams because of the

tradition reverberates around Notre Dame stadium. and in the first game played on an artificial surface in the stadium’s history, senior quarterback everett Golson wrote his own chapter of history in No. 17 Notre Dame’s 48-17 win over rice on saturday.

Golson threw for two touchdowns and rushed for three, becoming the third quarterback in program history to achieve the latter in a single game, joining Paul Hornung (1956 vs. UsC) and Jarious Jackson (1998 vs. stanford).

a fter Notre Dame (1-0) and rice (0-1) combined for four consecutive three-and-outs to

start the game, Golson put the Irish on the board first as he scrambled in from 11 yards out with nearly nine minutes gone.

“It’s kind of one of those things for me — cool, everything breaks down, you’ve got to go,” Golson said. “You’ve got to make something happen today with the coverages they were playing.”

the drive started in r ice territory after graduate student cornerback Cody riggs notched a 25-yard punt return — longer than any the Irish had in the previous season. Notre Dame gained the game’s first first down when Golson found senior tight end ben Koyack for a 14-yard gain before capping the drive with the touchdown

What more can you say about the senior signal-caller?

run.

rice (0-1), however, had a quick answer for Notre Dame as it marched down the field and leveled the score less than four minutes later. redshirt junior quarterback Driphus Jackson strung together a 30yard completion to junior receiver Dennis Parks and 13and 26-yard completions to redshirt sophomore receiver Zach Wright to even things up at seven.

“I thought Driphus did some really good things today,” r ice head coach David bailiff said. but while rice had a quick response to Notre Dame’s first score, the Irish were even faster than the owls in scoring next. on the first play following a touchback on the kickoff, Golson slung the ball deep to sophomore receiver Will Fuller, who broke a tackle at the 15-yard line and put the Irish back up 14-7.

“It was a post that I ran, and I realized that I had the guy beat probably at the break point,” Fuller said. “I made him slip his hips, and I thought I had him beat after that.”

Golson piles up 336 total yards in his return

By MIKE GINOCCHIO sports Writer

Irish fans spent a lot of the offseason holding their breath.

First, they wondered who would start under center. once they found out it was senior everett Golson, they wondered how he would play.

Golson, who was suspended for the 2013 season due to poor academic judgment, had not played in a game for almost 20 months before saturday, and there were concerns about whether he would be ready to play against rice in Week one. the first two drives ended with three-and-outs, but on his next opportunity, Golson cut up the middle for an 11-yard touchdown run, the first score of the game. From there, the Irish plowed to 48-17 win.

apparently, he was ready.

“obviously, the story of Golson was electric,” Irish head coach brian Kelly said. “a nd I thought he did that today extraordinarily well. He came back today and I think really showed the kind of player that he can be.”

Golson was 14-of-22 passing and threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns. He rushed for touchdowns of 11, 14 and four yards as well.

“It was definitely good,” Golson said. “I was just thankful for my teammates. they came out with a lot of enthusiasm. they played loose and because of that, I think that’s why we were successful.”

Golson also said he had plenty of work left to do.

“I think I needed to polish a lot of things,” Golson said. “that’s what is in my mind now. … I was kind of getting out of the pocket and making plays and having the guy scramble. Definitely going to get the timing down and be more precise.”

big plays were the name of the game for the Irish, as sophomore receiver Will Fuller and junior receiver C.J. Prosise snagged touchdown catches of 75 and 53 yards, respectively, from Golson. senior captain and center Nick martin said he was pleased with his quarterback’s performance.

“He’s a playmaker, and if we protect him up front, he’s going

It was quite the welcome back to Notre Dame stadium for everett Golson. He had the game of his career thus far, picking up almost 300 yards and two touchdowns through the air and adding 41 more yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

With Golson firing bullets down the field, it was hard for the ground game to compete with the air attack saturday. However, the Irish backs picked up good yardage, with five players collecting 40 yards or more, and were often able to break past the rice defensive line for crucial yards after contact.

one of the game’s main storylines was the presence of a return game for the Irish, something that hadn’t been seen in a few seasons. big returns from amir Carlisle, Cody riggs and Greg bryant led to scores later in those drives. a missed field goal and out-of-bounds kickoff were marks against Kyle brindza, but he racked up two field goals and four points after touchdowns.

brian Kelly and his staff did a good job of containing a rice offense that bested its opponents by an average of two touchdowns last season. they called plays that utilized the poised and sharp new skillset of everett Golson, and the offseason improvement to the return game stood out from the opening kickoff.

oV erall gPa : 3.48

While rice wasn’t as tough of an opponent as ones the Irish will face in weeks to come, Notre Dame nonetheless showed a marked improvement on offense and special teams from last season. even with key players out of the game, the Irish held strong from start to finish with few miscues to make a big statement in Week one.

next drive as back-to-back big plays from senior running back Cam mcDaniel and sophomore receiver Corey robinson got them near the rice red zone. Ultimately, however, Notre Dame failed to put points on the board when senior kicker Kyle brindza missed a 39-yard field goal attempt wide left.

a fter the Notre Dame defense forced another three-and-out — the fourth in r ice’s five series — the Irish left points on the board again when junior receiver C.J. Prosise dropped a would-be 55-yard touchdown pass on third down.

a field goal for rice cut its deficit to 14-10, as the Irish held the owls to three points thanks to key stops from sophomore linebacker Jaylon smith and senior linebacker Joe schmidt.

“I just really thought that we were going to be able to hold up really well [defensively,]” Irish head coach brian Kelly said. “Joe schmidt with Jaylon was outstanding.”

the first play of the drive came close for the Irish — Fuller dropped a pass in the red zone — but Prosise would have an opportunity to atone for his earlier drop when Golson found him wide open in the endzone for a 53-yard touchdown pass.

“Not everybody gets a second chance,” Prosise said. “but I got lucky and got a second chance and made the play.”

the Irish opened the second half with a methodical drive, eating up nearly six minutes en route to a 36-yard brindza field goal to increase their advantage to 31-10.

a fter a failed fake-punt attempt from rice gave the ball back to Notre Dame, the Irish used that field position well and bumped the lead up to four scores with 17 seconds to play in the third quarter when Golson picked up his fifth touchdown of the day, this one on the ground.

than 40 of his 71 rushing yards on the next Notre Dame drive to set up a field goal that made the score 41-10.

r ice finally stopped Notre Dame’s run of 27 unanswered points on its next drive with a touchdown that cut the deficit to 41-17.

With the game all but settled, sophomore quarterback malik Zaire entered the game for the Irish and immediately broke away for a 56-yard rush on his first collegiate snap. two plays later, bryant ran in a touchdown from 17 yards out for the final score of the game to bring it to 48-17. bryant was Notre Dame’s co-leading rusher along with Folston, gaining 71 yards on eight carries.

Despite the absence of captain and graduate student safety austin Collinsworth due to an mCL injury, the Notre Dame defensive unit held r ice to just three scoring drives.

after rice tied the game at seven in the first quarter, Golson connected with Fuller on the next play from scrimmage, launching a dart down the field to the open receiver. It opened up a floodgate of scoring, giving the Irish a 14-7 advantage from which they would never look back.

In the next six minutes, the Irish put some distance between themselves and r ice before halftime. Golson hit senior receiver a mir Carlisle for a 32yard gain before recording his second rushing touchdown of the day, this time from 14 yards out, to put the Irish up, 21-10, with 2:33 remaining in the half. rice pushed the ball to midfield on the ensuing possession, but with 21 seconds to play, Notre Dame senior cornerback matthias Farley intercepted

Golson faked the handoff to nobody after sophomore running back Greg bryant cut the other way before running it in to put the Irish up 38-10.

Golson finished the day 14-of22 for 295 yards through the air in addition to 41 yards gained on the ground.

“Pretty confident,” Golson said about his feelings saturday.

“I was thinking to myself earlier, it felt completely different than 2012.”

sophomore running back tarean Folston gained more

“I love austin. I love playing with him,” schmidt said. “but at the same time, I think [junior safety] e lijah shumate came in, and he had a lot of awesome calls, a lot of awesome plays, so I think he did really well.”

to make plays,” he said. “that’s our job. We just follow him, and I know I have to get in front of my man to give him as much time as possible.”

Golson’s first game was about as successful as the Irish could have hoped. Golson showed how far he had come since returning in the spring, Kelly said.

“He didn’t do a very good job

in the spring game,” Kelly said. “I thought he showed a lack of discipline, and he’s earned it through camp that just said, ‘Let you go play.’ I think he earned that right for us to give him that opportunity to get out there and make plays on the perimeter.” as Golson and the Irish close the book on a successful home opener, they turn their attention to the heated rivalry with michigan for next week’s matchup. Golson said he already is

eager to focus on the Wolverines.

“We’ve got to prepare for michigan just like we did for rice,” Golson said. “I don’t think I get into all of the hype of the game and things like that. but at the same time, you have to take care of business and you have to prepare. michigan’s got a great football team. It’s going to be a tough one, but I’m ready for it.”

University’s ongoing investigation into “suspected academic dishonesty” — the overall team looked pretty sharp, putting 48 points on the board and limiting the owls to only 17.

that’s a 31-point victory, which would fall under my definition of a blowout — not too shabby a way to start the season.

saturday was what Irish fans wanted to expect but were too afraid to assume would happen. the 2012 season was great. but then Golson was suspended, and

the 2013 season didn’t go as well as everyone had hoped. It wasn’t all because of Golson’s absence, but a lot of people attributed most, if not all, of it to him.

Golson came back this spring, and Irish fans were ready for another undefeated run, even if they wouldn’t admit to being so hopeful. then five players were held out of practice and competition during the investigation, and a little hope drifted away.

so although Irish fans would have liked to assume Notre Dame would pummel a team from Conference Usa, nothing seems like a given with this team these days.

but then Golson fired a 75yard bomb to Will Fuller to retake Notre Dame’s lead at 14-7, and the Irish never looked back. things are alright again — at least for now.

saturday’s victory was clean — it wasn’t perfect, extraordinary or a given. but it was a great start to kick off a season with so many hopes and expectations.

Collinsworth sits with injury

By MIKE GINOCCHIO sports Writer

Irish graduate student safety and captain a ustin Collinsworth did not play in the first game of the season. His only on-the-field action came when he walked to the opening coin toss on crutches. Irish head coach brian Kelly said he doubts Collinsworth will return for next week’s game against m ichigan.

“He’s got a grade-two [ mCL sprain],” Kelly said. “s o those are usually two to four weeks, depending on how guys respond. s o we don’t expect to have him this week.”

Junior safety e lijah

s humate started in place of Collinsworth.

Kelly said he plans to have Collinsworth back at the latest for the game against s yracuse on s ept. 27, the matchup after Notre Dame’s first bye week.

Return of the return men a fter struggling all of last year with the punt- and kick-return game, the Irish showed a marked improvement in their special teams play against r ice. s enior receiver a mir Carlisle had two kick returns for a combined 49 yards, with a 36yard return being his longest. meanwhile, sophomore running back Greg bryant and graduate student cornerback

stepping into the patricia george decio Theatre at the debartolo performing arts center, the audience members easily could see they was going to be transported to another world. The stage was transformed into an ancient hall: Two sets of crossbeams hung down above the triple-layered stage, signaling the world of “henry iv” would be more primeval than the one they just left.

“it looks like ‘beowulf’ up there,” sophomore mollie effler said.

w hile the world of shakespeare’s “henry iv” was not quite the one from the ancient epic “beowulf,” the two sometimes seem equally distant from the modern world. of course, the academic world considers shakespeare’s plays to be as relevant today as they were in his time — the key to any staging, then, is to make that clear to the audience.

The professional Theatre in residence at notre dame accomplished this task through a combination of talented acting, masterful staging and impressive lighting.

every aspect of the performance was designed to keep the audience engaged in the precarious situation of henry iv, as he fights against usurpers and the fear his heir apparent may never mature enough to be king, even through a three-hour performance.

perhaps one of the most impressive parts of the performance of “henry iv” was the amount of acting talent pulled from various parts of the midwest. many of the actors were called upon to play multiple roles.

henry godinez, who took on the role of the title character, was particularly noteworthy in his role. From the very first scene, godinez created a strong, regal persona whose fears about stabilizing his center of power clearly haunt him. acting as a foil figure for henry iv, John lister performed the part of sir John Falstaff. lister’s Falstaff was at once appealing and repulsive, garnering laughs and confusion at his character. in the end, when henry v finally abandons Falstaff for more regal pursuits, lister acted out his despair perfectly, garnering sympathy for a character even when it is not clear that it

is deserved.

The play was a conflation of parts one and Two of “henry iv.” as written by shakespeare, henry iv is two full plays. director michael goldberg and ryan producing artistic director grant mudge worked together to create this version of “henry iv,” which combines the two original plays into one production.

The end of “henry iv: part one” is the battle of shrewsbury, in which the audience sees the prince of wales return to his father’s good graces by saving him from one of the rebels.

The fighting in these scenes was particularly remarkable in this performance of “henry iv.” each actor executed leaps and jumps in these scenes that made each battle scene compelling.

in the final scene, the audience saw the recently-ascended henry v walk slowly away from his old friend and confidante, sir John Falstaff. The rest of the cast fell away and only the figures of Falstaff and henry v remained illuminated. This scene emphasized one of the best parts of this interpretation: the use of lighting and shadow.

Throughout the play, lighting was used effectively to underscore the mood. each of the tavern scenes was brightly lit, instantly signaling the shift from castle to town. in contrast, the scenes where northern rebels plan their attacks against the sovereign king were dim, the corners of the stage in complete shadow.

as with any shakespeare performance, the script is at once a blessing and a curse. The story is compelling and the writing already lauded as great. it comes down to troupe to make the performance great. The talent of the actors and the artistic direction of this recent performance of “henry iv” gave credit to the writing and upheld its place in the storied tradition of shakespeare.

The first performance was august 19, with the last performance a matinee this sunday. “henry iv” was part of the notre dame shakespeare Festival, which ends in september with “much ado about nothing” performed by actors From The london stage.ge.

[Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a longer interview with Scene. To read the full interview, visit ndsmcobserver.com/section/ scene].

roadkill ghost choir, of deland, Fla., just released their first full-length album, “in Tongues,” last week and soon are taking their show back on the road after an eventful summer with appearances at bonnaroo, lollapalooza and other festivals. with unsettling, powerful a merican rock and awesome shows inspired by the likes of Tom petty and radiohead, roadkill ghost choir definitely is a band to watch. scene was able to ask frontman a ndy shepard a few questions about the new album and life on the road.

What were your biggest influences on “In tongues”?

There’s always been a core sound we’ve liked. radiohead’s always been a big one production-wise, especially “in

rainbows.” a nd definitely incubus, that’s always a big influence, especially going into the study. i know we’re listening to a lot of that new Kurt vile record; that’s a big one as well.

How have things changed since the “Quiet light” ep to “In tongues” for you as a band and sonically?

The ep, that was the first batch of songs that i have ever written. Those were when we were still figuring out our sound and which direction we were going in. The sound on the ep was kind of all over the place, honestly. but it took a few years to develop the full-length because we were touring pretty much nonstop. That gave us time to kind of figure out where we wanted to go as a band and what direction we really wanted to take and kind of hone in on that. i think it was mostly — it was just time between the releases to grow and just figure out what we wanted to do for this record.

With this album, you have previously said in interviews that a lot

of it was about touring in emptier venues and not getting the pay you guys want. Can you talk about that? yeah, that’s definitely a theme throughout a lot of songs throughout the record, the bleakness of being away from home. especially when you’re playing for empty rooms and stuff like that. i remember our first tour was terrifying just because you don’t know what you’re getting. we had absolutely no idea that every show we would just be playing for the bartender, and no one was going to be there. we’ve been lucky enough to have really great opportunities. now we go on tour — there’s at least a few people there beforehand, and we can always count on that. That was definitely a thing early on in the writing process: dealing with being away from home and friends and family and trying to do this whole music thing. That was definitely a theme, the loneliness of the road i guess

What was the songwriting process for this album? How did this all come together?

There’s a couple songs that i wrote right after Quiet light. i don’t write much on the road because it’s kind of hard for me, kind of weird to get into that head space. everything else i did in my room when we got back. we actually wrote a lot of songs together. six months before we recorded the album, we found some space and just jammed on stuff and wrote three or four songs, which we’ve never done before like that. This record was definitely a different experience writingwise. it was kind of all-over, rather than just strictly being in my room. There were some different things going on this time.

What advice would you give to new artists who want to take their music to the next level? get at it. you have to work the local scene and bust your [expletive]. it’s going to suck, but you’ve just gotta keep working at what you’re doing. we got lucky; it just takes a lot of hard work and a lot of luck.

Athletes deserve right to play for U.S.

The F iba world c up just started last weekend, and in case you haven’t been watching too closely, the united states has torn through its first two games.

The a mericans bested Turkey yesterday, 98-77, after trailing at the half, the day after they scorched Finland, 114-55.

i n the game against the Finns, the u s . led 60-18 at halftime. no, that was not a typo. The u s . had to ease up on defense to an nba-a llstar- g ame level to avoid embarrassing the s candinavian team too badly.

i nternational basketball competition has drawn some criticism from fans the past couple weeks, but it’s not because the a mericans have made the tournament more than a little lopsided thus far.

it’s because of the horrific injury to i ndiana pacers forward/guard and nba star paul g eorge.

i n an intrasquad tune-up before the a merican team headed to spain for the F iba tournament, paul fractured his right leg in an awkward landing after contesting a shot.

The injury was so terrible that most, if not all, networks, refused to show the unedited footage, instead opting to use video that blurred out g eorge’s legs. many of g eorge’s teammates looked sick as the two-time a ll-star was tended to on the court and later taken away on a stretcher. Team usa head coach m ike Krzyzewski refused to discuss potential player cuts after the game, calling it “inappropriate” in light of the injury.

The blogs lit up the next day when news of the scrimmage spread through social media and sports c enter. many people questioned how a player as important to the pacers and to the nba as a whole could suffer such an injury – one doctor estimated it could require 18 months of recovery – during an inconsequential intrasquad game for the u s national team.

i understand that criticism. it would be one thing if g eorge broke his leg in g ame 7 of the nba Finals. it’s another that it happened in a Team usa tune-up for the F iba world c up (which doesn’t exactly boast the glory or the glamour of its soccer equivalent).

however, some people even called for the nba’s top talent

not to play in this tournament – or any international competition – in the future because of the potential risk. i n their minds, if you’re not being paid thousands of dollars to hit the hardwood, why play at all?

The pacers organization has some right to be upset because it will be impacted financially by g eorge’s absence. but just because it pays g eorge $18.3 million a season to put on a navy-and-gold jersey doesn’t mean it owns him (unless it’s written into his contract, of course). he’s a grown man who wants to compete for his country against the rest of the world for a gold medal. There’s nothing wrong with that.

many of these critics are the same who complain about international competition in sports like basketball and baseball because “the u s . is really the only country that plays that sport,” which is why, they say, the a mericans win.

First of all, the a mericans don’t always win, and it doesn’t take a huge upset for them to fall short of first place.

The u s . baseball team was eliminated after the second round of this year’s world b aseball c lassic.

The men’s national team earned bronze medals at the 2004 summer olympics, which prompted an overhaul of the organization’s leadership that led to the “redeem team” reclaiming gold in 2008.

o n the flip side, the u s participating in international basketball grows the game’s popularity. The goal of many of these international tournaments is to spread the game to all corners of the world and draw in more fans.

w hat better way to do that than by having some of the game’s best players compete?

a variety of countries is represented and so is the top talent, including players like paul g eorge.

a t the end of the day, it was a freak injury with low odds of occurring again – odds much worse than those of g eorge and his teammates coming home with a gold medal.

d oes the reward outweigh the risk then? For many critics, it doesn’t.

but for those players who chose to pull on the red, white and blue, it does, and the final decision should be up to them.

Moore rallies Lynx from brink of elimination

Associated Press

a fter playing her worst game of the season, maya moore recovered to keep the m innesota lynx season alive.

The league’s mvp scored 13 of her 32 points in the fourth quarter as the lynx avoided elimination by beating the phoenix mercury 8277 in game 2 of the western conference finals on sunday.

diana Taurasi scored 23 for the mercury, who will host game 3 on Tuesday night. phoenix jumped out to a 22-9 lead after the first quarter, and after a dominant showing in game 1, the mercury had the three-time defending western conference champions on the ropes. but moore, who was held to nine points on 3-for-9 shooting in the opener, said she trusted the process that made her team the best in the league over her four-year career. “we always believe in each other, and if we stick to what we’re doing, something’s eventually going to break,” moore said. “because we’re going to keep running it hard, trusting what

we’re doing, with discipline.”

Tied at 75 with 23.3 seconds left, seimone augustus hit a 15-foot jumper and was fouled by dewanna bonner. augustus, who finished with 23 points, converted the three-point play, and after candice dupree missed a 15-footer on the other end, moore hit two free throws to put it out of reach for the lynx.

moore was an even bigger part of the comeback early in the fourth, as she hit three 3-pointers in a 13-0 lynx run that gave them their first lead since they scored the first point of the game. moore hit backto-back 3’s to pull m innesota to within 65-62, and after Tan w hite made two free throws, augustus scored down low to put m innesota on top.

Then, with l ittle l eague world series sensation mo’ne davis on hand cheering her on, moore then drained her fifth 3-pointer of the game to send the sellout crowd into a frenzy.

“i think she had the mindset that she’s the best player in the league and that nobody can stop her,” lynx coach c heryl

mlb | san Francisco 15, milwauKee 5

reeve said of moore’s dominant fourth quarter. “i think maybe she had a stretch in game 1, not that she doubted that but she just didn’t play with the assertiveness that we’re accustomed to seeing.” Fellow uconn graduate Taurasi also has grown accustomed to seeing moore score at will. “she made a lot of shots tonight and when she does that it’s pretty much impossible to guard her,” Taurasi said. “you pretty much put everyone on her, but you can’t do that because they’ve got seimone, they’ve got l indsay ( w halen).” m innesota dug itself an early hole and almost didn’t recover. The lynx made just 2 of 14 field goal attempts in the first quarter as they fell behind 22-9 after 10 minutes. but with moore and augustus struggling, w halen put the lynx on her back. w halen scored 12 of her 17 points in the second quarter and hit five mid-range jump shots as m innesota recovered its shooting touch to make 47 percent of its shots the rest of the way.

brewers drop fifth straight, slide into tie for division lead

p ablo s andoval hit a tworun homer among his three rbi s and finished a double shy of the cycle, powering the s an Francisco g iants past the m ilwaukee brewers 15-5 on sunday to match a season high with their sixth straight win.

hunter pence extended his nl -leading hitting streak to 13 games with a third-inning rbi double, the first of his four hits. he doubled again in the fifth and added a seventh-inning triple.

Wante D

The brewers lost their season-high fifth straight road game and dropped into a tie for the nl c entral lead with st. l ouis. it’s the first time since July 20 that they don’t have sole possession of the division lead.

m ilwaukee has held at least a share of the lead every day since a pril 5.

m artin m aldonado homered off g iants reliever g eorge Kontos in the seventh, but the brewers were swept at aT&T p ark for the first time since a ug. 24-26, 2007. m ilwaukee was outscored 31-8 in the series. r yan braun homered in the eighth.

Kyle l ohse (12-8) allowed seven runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings for his fourth defeat in five decisions.

b ackup catcher a ndrew susac was given a start and

went 3 for 4 with three rbi s, including a two-run double and an rbi double. Joe p anik had a two-run triple as s an Francisco earned its fifth series sweep this year. The g iants have a season-best six-game winning streak at aT&T p ark.

The brewers briefly took a lead in the first when braun grounded into a run-scoring double play. b umgarner was unscathed otherwise, allowing five hits with one walk. s an Francisco’s starting pitchers combined for a 1.07 era with 57 strikeouts and seven walks on the 6-1 homestand.

s andoval tripled to start the second. he walked in a seven-run seventh, his first shot at the cycle. Fans chanted “d ouble!” but he flied out later in the inning.

Americans overcome slow start, topple Turkey henley leads deutsche bank

Associated Press

They figured it would be simple, that they would just beat up on Turkey like they did Finland a night earlier.

instead, the a mericans were the ones on the ropes for nearly three quarters.

“i guess we felt like last night’s game was pretty easy and tonight was going to be the same way, but Turkey came out and they gave us their punch from the beginning,” forward James harden said. “we took it and we were sluggish. That second half we played a lot better.”

Kenneth Faried scored 22 points, a nthony davis all of his 19 in the second half, and the u s. rebounded from a rare deficit at halftime to beat Turkey 98-77 on sunday in the basketball world cup.

a night after crushing Finland by 59 in its biggest rout ever while using nba players in the former world championship, the a mericans couldn’t take control against Turkey until early in the fourth quarter after compiling a 17-1 run.

“i think we didn’t come ready to play in the first half and we can’t afford to do that if we want to win a gold medal,” davis said. “so we’ve got to come out ready to play no matter who we’re playing against.”

The a mericans trailed 40-35 at halftime and Turkey led by six early in the third before the a mericans could finally get the game into the quicker tempo they prefer and pull away to win

the rematch of the 2010 goldmedal game in istanbul. but it was a much tougher one than expected after the a mericans hammered Finland 114-55 while Turkey was being outplayed for most of its opener by new Zealand before pulling out the victory.

harden added 14 points for the u s. and Kyrie irving added 13, playing extended minutes in the second half while struggling derrick rose sat.

it was tied at 59 with 3:10 left in the third before the a mericans closed the period with a 7-1 burst to lead 66-60 after Faried’s basket. The u s then ran off 10 in a row to open the fourth and open a 76-60 cushion.

The a mericans haven’t lost since the semifinals of the 2006 world championship and outside of their victories over spain in the last two olympic goldmedal games, haven’t been in danger much since then. but they needed a long time to start looking like the team that is so considered the tournament favorite by so many.

“before the game we talked about we trying to keep the tempo low, in fact slow down the game and we did it very well first half. i think actually three quarters we did it very well,” Turkey’s ender a rslan said. “but after, physically united states team is great, they played 40 minutes ... so we get a little bit tired after third quarter and they still played at the same level.”

The u s. beat Turkey 81-64 four years ago to win gold, and though the Turks have eight players remaining from that team, they no longer have their best player, hedo Turkoglu, or fellow nba veteran ersan ilyasova.

cenk a kyol led Turkey with 12 points.

The a mericans had to break from their pregame warmups to retake the official team picture that every team took saturday before their opening games, because they were still wearing sweats instead of their uniforms.

They soon had bigger problems than a fashion faux pas. it was 16-all after one, and Turkey controlled the tempo in the second quarter, getting to the foul line as the a mericans showed moments of frustration with the pace and some calls that went against them. baris hersek and emir preldzic made consecutive 3-pointers late in the half to give Turkey a 38-32 lead.

unable to force the turnovers or missed shots to get their transition game going, the a mericans looked ordinary in the halfcourt. davis, who scored 17 points in the opener and had been the a mericans’ best player this summer, was scoreless with one rebound in the half, playing just 10 ½ minutes while picking up two fouls.

“i tried to come out in the second half and just be a different player, just be the player i’m used to being,” he said.

Associated Press

r ussell henley doesn’t get into contention as much as he’d like, though he is tough to beat when he’s anywhere near the lead.

r ory m c i lroy seems to be there all the time.

They were among a host of contenders s unday at the d eutsche b ank c hampionship, setting up the second straight week in the Fed e x c up playoffs that the final round resembles more like a free-for-all.

The difference at the T pc b oston is the presence of mc i lroy so high on the leaderboard.

henley ran off five birdies in a seven-hole stretch around the turn on his way to a 6-under 65, giving him a one-shot lead over b illy h orschel going into a l abor d ay finish loaded with possibilities.

Ten players were separated by four shots. s ix of them already have won on the pga Tour this season.

a nd one of them — mc i lroy — has won the biggest events.

mc i lroy was dialed in with his swing and shot a 7-under 64 to get within two shots of the lead. he played with c hris Kirk, who also shot a 64 with birdies on his last two holes — a chip-in for birdie on a shot that would have gone 10 feet by the hole had it not banged into the pin, and an eagle putt that stopped an inch short on the 18th.

“ i ’ve been in this position quite a lot recently,” mc i lroy said. “ s o i know how it’s going to feel tomorrow.”

henley was at 12-under 201. he will play in the final group with horschel, who birdied his last three holes for a 67. henley can look as good as anyone, and then he can disappear. he won the s ony o pen last year in his first pga Tour event as a rookie last year, and never seriously contended again. he won the honda c lassic in m arch in a four-man playoff that included mc i lroy, and since then has missed eight cuts and has only two finishes in the top 20.

“ i think i ’m just still figuring it all out,” h enley said. “ i feel like i ’ve been working really hard on my ball-striking to keep the ball more in front of me. i always feel pretty good with my putter. The other thing i have to work on is my attitude, and not be so hard on myself.”

Jason d ay, who started s unday tied with r yan p almer, reached 12 under with a short birdie putt on the 13th hole. b ut he missed a short par putt on the 14th and hooked his tee shot into high grass and had to pitch out, leading to another bogey on the 15th. d ay also failed to birdie the par-5 18th and shot 69.

p almer took bogey on two of the par 5s and shot 71 to fall four shots behind.

s aint m ary’s opened its season this weekend with mixed results, dropping its first game, 3-1, to b ethel on Friday but rebounding s unday to pull out a 2-1 victory against m ount s t. Joseph in extra time.

The b elles (1-1) started off strong against b ethel (1-1), creating a few early shots and offensive pressure. i n the 12th minute, as the p ilots knocked the ball around in their backfield, b elles senior midfielder e rin m ishu blocked an attempted clearance by b ethel junior goalkeeper m allory c onrad. The deflection went straight into the back of the net, giving s aint m ary’s an early 1-0 lead.

The momentum would not last, however, as 10 minutes later, sophomore midfielder d iana d iaz- d iurych netted a 30-yard free kick for the p ilots to knot the game at 1-1.

The b elles had plenty of chances throughout the game, outshooting b ethel 16-8 and knocking a couple

shots off the goal frame, but the team struggled to capitalize on opportunities.

“ w e created a ton of chances but were missing that final quality with our finishing touch,” b elles coach m ichael Joyce said.

b ethel, on the other hand, was able to convert its few opportunities into goals, scoring in the 62nd and 75th minute to take a 3-1 lead that would last for the rest of the match. The p ilots scored three goals on just four shot attempts, and c onrad anchored them in net with seven saves.

“ w e were a little sloppy against b ethel on Friday and pounded the ball forward too fast,” Joyce said.

“ w e usually like to possess the ball more.”

h owever, Joyce said he was happy with how the b elles were able to turn that around and control possession when they took the field s unday against m ount

a fter two days of competition at the olivet l abor day Tee- o ff tournament, the belles finished in third place with an overall score of 694, 26 shots behind second-place finisher olivet.

The belles were led this weekend by senior Janice heffernan, who earned a spot on the all-tournament team after finishing fifth individually with a score of 159 over the weekend. her second-day score of 78 was also the second-best individual score of the day. Finishing behind washington university in st. l ouis, who finished first in the wgca division iii rankings in the spring, and miaa conference rival olivet, the belles have started out strong this season, coach Kimberly moore said.

“This team has really come together and has gelled extremely well,” moore said.

sophomore a li mahoney combined rounds of 86 and 81 on the first and second days, respectively, finishing in 11th place individually.

sophomore c ourtney c arlson followed her up in the standings, shooting a 179 that put her in 22nd place. The fourth eligible golfer for the belles, freshman lydia l orenc, recorded a two-day score of 193 and landed in 29th place, while freshman Kelsey c onkright had a tournament score of 199 and earned a share of 31st place.

moore had previously said she has high expectations for the belles this season and after their first tournament, she said she believes that they are on the right path.

“g oing into my second season my expectations of this year’s belles team is very high,” moore said. “we are a very young team with one senior, one junior, three sophomores and three freshman. we have lost a lot of good experience, but have gained a great deal of potential major contributors for the next few years. o ur young team will be forced into learning the college game very early and that will lead to some great experience and leadership down the road.”

l ooking ahead to late

s eptember, when miaa play begins, moore said she is optimistic about the belles’ chances of winning the conference title for the first time since 2010.

“my message to my team early on in this brand new season is to be as focused as you can in practice, so that all of our practices can be as productive as possible,” moore said. “a lso, [my advice is] to not be afraid of giving each other advice and helping each other out. The attitude going into this season is very optimistic. w ith the addition of fellow i ndiana s ection pga p rofessional, Kasi hornback, as our assistant coach, our goals of leading this young team to a conference championship will be on the top of our priority list this fall.”

The belles take the next step in their endeavor to become the miaa conference champions when they step onto the warren g olf c ourse s eptember 14 and 15 to host the o’brien national i nvitational.

Observer Staff Report

at a long weekend at the acc/big Ten challenge in minneapolis, the irish fell short, losing in a three-set shutouts to both no. 12 minnesota on Friday (26-24, 27-25, 25-18) and no. 6 wisconsin on saturday (2516, 25-15, 25-16).

notre dame (0-2) held set point in the first set of Friday’s matchup against the golden gophers (1-1). however, key mistakes on the irish frontline led to the gophers taking down notre dame, 26-24. The second set played out in much the same fashion, with the irish losing 27-25 in another tight set.

The final set saw a fatigued irish squad trail 11-8 early and ultimately lose by a score of 25-18.

senior middle blocker and right side specialist Jeni houser led notre dame, as she totaled 11 kills and nine digs against minnesota.

graduate student outside hitter nicole smith also had a strong night, coming away with eight kills in the first two sets of the game and 10 kills overall.

saturday evening proved no easier for the irish, as they took on last season’s ncaa runner-up wisconsin (2-0). despite keeping sets close against the golden gophers, notre dame could not

do the same against the badgers, losing the first and final sets by nine points and the middle set by 10.

wisconsin took a 9-1 lead early in the first set, easily securing a 2516 victory in the first match of the game. The second set unfolded in a similar fashion, as the badgers cruised away with a 25-15 win to take a 2-0 lead in the match. a big run early in the final set helped wisconsin best the irish, 25-16, to close out the match.

smith had team-high six kills on the night, while junior setter hanna muzzonigro remained perfect in hits for the entire match. Three freshmen — outside hitter sydney Kuhn and liberos Jo Kremer and natalie Johnson — made the first appearances of their careers over the weekend, and Kremer and Johnson had the two lone service aces for notre dame against minnesota.

The irish begin the home portion of their schedule with the golden dome invitational, where they will welcome washington state, iupui and western michigan to purcell pavilion. notre dame’s weekend will kick off with a 7:30 p.m. matchup against washington state on Friday.

Baylor races past SMU in new stadium opener

b aylor had a nice housewarming party at their new riverfront campus stadium

s unday night, even though the quarterback was clearly not feeling his best.

p etty threw for 161 yards and accounted for three touchdowns while playing the first half of the b ears’ 45-0 victory over former s outhwest c onference rival smu

p etty, the reigning b ig 12 offensive player of the year, was held out in the second half because of a bruise to his lower back. h e moved gingerly at times and often grabbed as his lower back and side between plays after taking an early shot.

b ig 12 champion b aylor (1-0) led 24-0 after the first quarter, including T d drives of 6 yards after an smu fumble and 4 yards after l evi n orwood’s 45-yard punt return.

smu ’s three quarterbacks

were sacked a combined eight times. The m ustangs (0-1) were held to 67 total yards, their fewest since coach June Jones took over in 2008, and shut out for the second time in their last three games.

Jones’ predecessor at smu was p hil b ennett, who is in his fourth season as b aylor’s defensive coordinator.

o n the day a statue of r obert g riffin iii was dedicated, p etty extended his streak with at least one touchdown pass to a schoolrecord 14 games, breaking a tie with b aylor’s only h eisman Trophy winner.

g riffin was on hand for the b ears’ first game on campus since 1935.

The washington r edskins quarterback and b aylor’s only h eisman Trophy winner took part in the statue dedication more than three hours before kickoff and was also on the field before the game, giving the invocation and taking part in the opening coin toss with former

p resident g eorge w b ush.

b aylor’s first short drive came after b ryce h ager forced a fumble that was recovered by a iavion e dwards at the m ustangs 6.

s hock l inwood scored on a 4-yard run.

smu then went threeand-out before l inwood’s return set up p etty’s 3-yard T d pass to tight end Tre’von a rmstead.

p etty threw a 46-yard T d to freshman K d c annon, wide open behind the secondary, after smu ’s incomplete pass on a fourth-and-13 play.

The m ustangs turned it over in their own territory again when m att d avis, after scrambling out of the grasp of a defender, tried to throw across the field while running away from another one.

h e threw into a crowd and was intercepted by x avien h oward.

p etty then had completions of 15 and 13 yards to Jay l ee before his 5-yard T d run made it 31-0.

s an Francisco 49ers defensive tackle r ay m c d onald was arrested early s unday on felony domestic violence charges after officers responded to a home in an upscale neighborhood, s an Jose police said.

“The 49ers organization is aware of the recent reports regarding r ay m c d onald and we take such matters seriously,” general manager Trent b aalke said in a statement. “a s we continue to gather the facts, we will reserve further comment.” m c d onald has been playing for s an Francisco since he was drafted as a thirdround pick in 2007.

Though the i rish had a solid season-opening weekend, the team can learn from its mistakes and improve going forward, c lark said.

against usc (3-0-1, 0-0-0 p ac-12), i rish freshman goalkeeper l exi n icholas was named the starter after l ittle came down with an illness. n icholas made three saves in her first-ever regular-season action, and although the i rish failed to pull out a victory, s iergiej praised n icholas’ effort and ability to be ready at a moment’s notice.

“ i think l exi was huge for us today, in a lot of ways,” s iergiej said. “Kaela is a great goalkeeper, and unfortunately we lost her during the warm up. To have a goalkeeper as a backup find out she’s starting [that late], especially as a freshman — i was extremely proud of how [ n icholas] handled that.”

o ther than the switch in goal, s unday’s match had a similar narrative to the weekend’s first for the i rish. n otre d ame was aggressive early and dominated the ball, eventually capitalizing when senior forward l auren b ohaboy scored her third goal of the season from 16 yards out in the 19th minute. Junior midfielder c ari r occaro assisted on the play. The i rish outshot the Trojans 11-2 in the first half and again went to the locker room with a 1-0 lead.

w hen the whistle blew for the second half, however, it was the Trojans on the attack. usc had four times as many shot attempts after halftime than it had in the first half, scoring twice on eight shots.

i n the 65th minute, usc tied the game when sophomore forward s avannah l evin drilled a shot into the top left corner of the net from close range on an assist from junior midfielder Jamie Fink. The 1- 1 score line lasted only until the 72nd minute, when Trojans junior midfielder r eilly p arker made a sliding goal off a cross from junior forward Tamara m ejia to give usc a 2-1 lead.

Trojans senior goalkeeper c aroline s tanley was able to make the save on i rish junior midfielder g lory w illiams’ attempt, however, and n otre d ame’s shot off the rebound went far over the net to end the threat.

a fter n otre d ame failed to hold a halftime lead in backto-back games, s iergiej said the i rish have a busy week of practice ahead to ensure they maintain focus for all 90 minutes of every game moving forward.

“ we came out strong in both games and played well,” s iergiej said. “ g oing in [at the half] with a 1-0 lead, we have to come out with a sense of urgency, to not just defend that lead, but build upon it.

The first game pitted the i rish (2-2, 0-0 acc ) against Texas Tech (3-0, 0-0 b ig xii ) in a matchup of ranked teams Friday. The i rish struck in the 15th minute when junior captain and defender Katie n aughton headed a corner kick from freshman defender s abrina Flores into the back of the net from six yards out.

i t was Flores’ first career assist and n aughton’s second goal of the season.

Flores’ strong weekend caught the attention of i rish assistant coach d awn s iergiej, who said the freshman’s contributions went beyond the box score.

“ s abrina was fantastic all weekend,” s iergiej said.

“ e specially Friday, she started off a little slow in the first

10 minutes or so, but after that, she gained her legs and was dominant. i thought she was one of our better players all weekend.”

The i rish held their 1-0 lead until halftime, outshooting the r ed r aiders 5-3 prior to the break. Texas Tech attacked with renewed vigor after coming back on the field for the second half, however, scoring two quick goals to take back the lead.

The first Texas Tech goal came when junior forward h annah d evine headed home an accurate cross from senior defender Jaelene h inkle. l ess than 30 seconds later, junior forward Janine b eckie scooped up a loose ball and drove it past the gloves of sophomore i rish goalkeeper Kaela l ittle, providing the game’s final goal.

The i rish attempted eight more shots in the game, but were unable to get another one past Texas Tech’s sophomore goalkeeper l auren watson, who had seven saves Friday.
