n Oregon State University Investment Group markets motivated students, university

By Jack LammersThe Daily BaromeTer

Over $1.4 million in invest-ments will be managed during the 2012-13 year by the Oregon State University Investment Group, a group of student port-folio managers and analysts who are gaining experience in the financial realm. The group focuses on this theme of experi-ential learning to benefit them-selves and the Oregon State University Foundation, which funds the group’s investments.

“The reason we do it is for the experience you gain through real-world application, incor-porating self-taught practices as well as principles in the classroom to actually manage money,” said Adam Rosa, OSIG president. “We take a lot from the experience and the oppor-tunities it opens up through networking with alumni.”

OSIG is set up in conjunction with the College of Business and gives students an extra edge when competing against other, more prestigious, busi-

ness schools. Whether as an analyst or officer, students have the opportunity to examine the investment prospects of different companies through discussions with corporate executives, presentations from guest speakers and mentor-ship through university alumni networks.

“Individuals in the group are highly motivated and focused on doing well in and out of school,” said Brad Alvarez, OSIG domestic fund portfolio manager.

All of the 2012-13 officers in the group received internships last summer, and after such experiences, some members have turned a general interest in business into focused goals relating to their future careers. Within the group, members write up and present reports on their selected companies of interest each term, with ana-lysts receiving support from their section managers and other officers. The sections included in OSIG are technol-ogy, industrial materials, con-sumer goods, financials and healthcare.

“I’ve put my past reports in applications for jobs and I’ve really enjoyed the feedback

I’ve received,” said Riley Kinser, global fund portfolio manager for OSIG.

Last summer, Kinser secured an internship assisting with cli-ent service at PIMCO, an inter-national investment solutions provider.

Beyond these reports, mem-bers feel the actual pressures of the accountability that comes with having control over money belonging to the Oregon State University Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit, receiving donations from OSU and aiming for $1 billion in its first capital campaign, to con-tinue through 2014.

“I just recently joined the group and will be a portfolio manager this year,” said Pryce Waites, D.A. Davidson and Co. fund portfolio manager.

Waites’s portfolio is com-petitive, meaning that there is more risk in his team’s equity selections when competing against other university invest-ment groups.

The group sends 8 to 10 people to New York annually. Last year, attendees met cor-porate executives from finan-cial organizations Blackstone, Barclays, Morgan Stanley and Fortress, among others.

OSIG is currently accepting applications for the upcoming year, and members recom-mend the group to other stu-dents as a chance for students from varying disciplines with interest in business to gain practical experience.

“We receive as much expo-sure to the finance world as possible, taking the educational aspect we’ve gained to become more knowledgeable and accountable,” Rosa said.

Those interested in applying for a position with OSIG can e-mail a PDF resume and cover letter to [email protected]. Questions can be sent to this email address as well.

Today’s gender rolesWhat should be the role of

the 21st century man and woman? This is an issue

that we have repeatedly explored, contested and redefined since the emergence of the iconic 1950s mid-dle-class family. Men worked while women stayed home and took care of the kids. However, it’s no secret that things have changed in these past 60 years.

According to PBS, employment of married women rose from 25 per-cent in 1950 to around 61 percent in 1998, and recent estimates surpass these figures. What is the reason for this trend? Has this change occurred out of financial necessity or by some great social movement? Perhaps both?

The recent economic downturn has given families no choice but to send their moms back to work. However, different and perhaps more interesting trends can be seen among young women. In 1947, just 12 percent of women graduating from high school would continue on to attend college. Statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor put this num-ber at just over 72 percent in 2011. Even more surprisingly, the New York Times reported back in 2006 that 58 percent of students enrolled in college were women. Wow. Males still hold a slight edge here at OSU, making up 53 percent of the student body, but it seems like, overall, us guys are slacking.

By this account, it doesn’t seem too far-fetched to extrapolate this

OSU Beaver Store

Debunking Van Order’s articleLeonardo da Vinci is attributed with the

quote “The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.” This comes to mind when reading Finn Van Order’s “advice” to students here at OSU. Obviously all are welcome to their opinions, but it would be a disservice to students to let the erroneous information in Mr. Van Order’s piece stand.

Mr. Van Order inaccurately states that the OSU Beaver Store’s online price compari-sons show “the most expensive options” from online sources. Nothing could be further from the truth. The prices in the compari-son are pulled directly and unfiltered from Amazon, Half.com, and others. Don’t take my word for it. Test it for yourself. Just scroll down the comparison list and you will see all of the choices currently available from those websites.

Then ask yourself what the OSU Beaver Store stands to gain by putting its prices and its competitors’ prices all in one place? Could it be that we actually care about students getting the best price, even if it’s not from us? Could it be that we want to once and for all debunk the myth that the store is out to get students? Evidently the answer is “no” in Mr. Van Order’s world, because those motivations don’t fit the pre-established narrative. All we ask is that you keep an open mind and judge for yourself.

The blackout

When did school spirit become about political correctness?

Last time I checked our school colors were black and orange, with white sprinkled in here and there. I am not sure where this cul-tural insensitivity is supposedly coming from when the athletics department is doing their best to provide this university with a sense of unity and pride for its sporting teams. In case

people haven’t seen what happens not only within our athletic conference, but around the country in the collegiate setting, this tra-dition of “blacking” out this or that stadium is all common practice.

I point your attention to the Washington Huskie game this last Thursday, Sept. 27. I watched the entirety of the game and several references by national television broadcast-ers made note of the theme of the game, which was to wear black; the fans wore black, the students wore black, and the football team wore black from head to toe! I am no expert in this area but it seems to me that the University of Washington, with its inner-city location and nearly 45,000 students, is a much more racially and culturally diverse school when compared to OSU. Not once was this ever construed as a racially moti-vated attempt at school pride, but rather a Husky Nation thing that seemed to work as they upset then No. 8 Stanford.

Another thing . . . last time I checked black was not listed as one of Washington’s official school colors — hmmmmmm. Did anyone else notice the note on their ticket that said to wear orange when they went to the game between unranked Oregon State vs. No. 13 Wisconsin? I’d say 90 percent of the Beaver fans in attendance did. And the result of that game? UPSET!!!!! Not to mention the crushing of Montee Ball’s Heisman campaign. Utah is infamous for their blackout games. Once a year since 2008, they’ve distributed “black-out” game day specific shirts to their fans to promote unity and help them rally behind their team — vital to beat key opponents in their season. If memory serves me right, back in 2011, Utah held their “blackout” game against none other than Oregon State.

I am no student athlete, but I can nearly guarantee you that when an athlete walks onto a field or into an arena and sees an entire stadium clad in the same color sup-porting their team it sends chills down their spine every time. So why does every action a department or individual takes have to fall under such scrutiny, when it is as simple as trying to rally Beaver Nation behind one of its

school colors? I know and understand OSU’s history as

a once unwelcome place for racially diverse individuals, but times have changed and the faculty has done a phenomenal job making this an inclusive place to attend college. Let’s not handicap the progress we have made by calling attempts at school unity a jab at a cul-ture or race. There may always be individuals who act out of line, but they should each be held responsible at the time of such action. Do not hold the student body and OSU hos-tage as they attempt to celebrate some school spirit and cheer on our beloved Beavers.

Oregon State University sustainability

Response to Drew Pell’s articleThe OSU Sustainability Office would like

to thank Drew Pells for the Sept. 24 commen-tary “University hypocrisy is evident at many levels.” It brings needed conversation about sustainability-related change at a complex organization and highlights apparently suc-cessful outreach efforts. We agree: OSU could do more to be a more sustainable university. But rather than telling students what to do, we aim to arm the entire campus community with information about how to reduce indi-vidual and institutional impact.

OSU has work to do in walking our talk, but substantial progress has been made. How about performance relative to our peers? We are on Princeton Review’s honor roll of the 16 most environmentally responsible colleges, attained a “Gold” rating in the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System, hold a “Silver” ranking with the League of American Bicyclists, have numerous green buildings, and have received several EPA rec-ognitions. However, the Sustainability Office acknowledges that these rankings point per-haps less to OSU’s success than the context of sustainability in higher education. Most universities, like OSU, are far from sustain-able. We need help from students, staff and

Cold season is closer than

you thinkThe season is changing, and with it

comes the dreaded cold and flu. Though most of us are certainly

healthy now, the unique stresses that come with being a college student can change that overnight.

If you’ve already begun to feel the effects of a virus, be kind to your significant other, roommate, neighbor and co-workers. Take some precautions before infecting them.

Simple home remedies come to mind: soup, orange juice, tea and breathing in the steam during a hot shower. Mommy and Daddy aren’t here anymore, ladies and gentlemen. You have to care for yourselves.

Outside of taking it easy, slurping noo-dles, and burning your tongue on tea, there are other more obvious germ-elimination, cleansing activities you can do to keep the yuckies at bay.

Let’s start with the most obvious: wash your hands. This will help prevent the spread of infections and other germs. Try washing your hands before and after class-es, going to the grocery store, or shaking other’s hands.

Try to keep your area clean. Wiping down your desk or kitchen counters with disinfectants kill germs. Don’t forget about doorknobs, light switches and sink han-dles; a lot of people touch these things, and though they may seem little, they still hold an incredible amount of germs.

Take out the trash — especially if you or your roommate has had the sniffles. Those tissues are great places for germs and bac-teria to accumulate. Not to feed your night-mares, but we would hate to see those little guys cozy up to you while you sleep.

Be aware of your toothbrush. If you share a bathroom and a toothbrush loca-tion, you might want to rethink not bring-ing in your own toothbrush container. If those things get close enough, germs will spread. Plus, why do you want someone else’s billions of germs on your already covered brush? You might also want to rethink letting it touch an unwiped coun-ter, and think about replacing it about every three months.

The effects of alcohol (a hangover, dehy-dration) weaken the body’s immune sys-tem and thus lower the body’s ability to fight pesky bacteria. While we recommend not drinking at all, if you’re going to do it, make sure you stay hydrated. It would also help to avoid drinking from other’s glasses.

Avoid people in classes that show signs like a runny nose, a fever, or excessive sneezing. Especially avoid sitting in the area around them if they’re not covering their mouth.

On that note, cover your mouth. This campus houses thousands of people; we can’t afford to be derailed by someone’s cold. So, if you are sick, try to stay away from the rest of us and we’ll do the same.

Get some rest, drink your fluids and cover your cough. We expect there will still be those that use a little cold to get out of class or extend a paper due-date, but hopefully this will aid some in the fight against the common cold.

n Mannion sets career high with 433 yards, OSU defeats Arizona 38-35 in back-and-forth game

The Daily BaromeTer

TUCSON, Ariz. — For the third straight game, the No. 14 Beavers went into their matchup as an underdog, and for the third straight time they came away with a win, this time against the University of Arizona.

Oregon State (3-0, 2-0 Pac-12) has already matched their win total of a year ago — when they went 3-9 — after only three games, starting off the sea-son with three wins for the first time in 10 years.

Typically a slow-starting program under Mike Riley, the Beavers have defied just about everyone’s expecta-tions by going 3-0, and winning those games against quality teams all three times — Wisconsin at home, and UCLA and Arizona on the road. And now OSU and No. 2 Oregon are the only teams in the Pac-12 that are still unbeaten.

After the Beavers got off to a fast 17-0 lead Saturday in Tucson, Ariz., against the Wildcats (3-2, 0-2), Arizona scored 21 unanswered points — then the shootout ensued.

Sophomore quarterback Sean Mannion set a new career-high in pass-ing yards with 433, after setting a career-

Beavers outlast Wildcats in shootout

Sean Mannion has arrived

Following Oregon State’s open-ing win over Wisconsin, I wrote a column expressing my

skepticism over the significance of the victory.

Though I envisioned a solid, much-improved OSU team that could win six to eight games, I thought Wisconsin was overrated and that the Beavers would drop at least one of the two tough road games they just played at UCLA and at Arizona.

I knew quarterback Sean Mannion would put up stats, but I didn’t think he was capable of winning close games on the road yet.

But after Saturday’s game I’ve come to a conclusion. I was wrong — dead wrong.

On the surface, the incredible come-from-behind victory is just that — a good road win early in the season.

In reality, what transpired in the fourth quarter was much, much more.

When Mannion took over at the 25-yard line with 5:34 remaining in the fourth quarter — and proceeded to drive the length of the field, cul-minating in the clinching touchdown

Women’s soccer falls to Cal 3-1n After losing to Stanford 5-1

Thursday, Beavers couldn’t get a win over the weekend

The Daily BaromeTer

BERKELEY, Calif. — After an impressive start to the season, the Oregon State women’s soccer team has hit a bump in the road.

The Beavers followed up a 5-1 loss to No. 2 Stanford last Thursday with a 3-1 loss to No. 19 Cal on Sunday. The pair of losses came after OSU had opened its season with wins in nine of its first 10 games.

Cal (9-3, 2-1 Pac-12) opened the scoring with a goal in the 13th minute, and added two goals in the second half to build a 3-0 lead before OSU junior forward Brandi Dawson scored in the 89th minute to prevent a shutout. The goal was Dawson’s second of the season.

The Golden Bears, who had won six of their previous seven coming into the game, outshot OSU 25-7 and had 12 more shots on goal than the Beavers did.

Sammy Jo Prudhomme started as goalie for the Beavers, after not entering the Stanford game until late in the second half. The fresh-man made 12 saves in what was her sixth start of the season.

The Beavers will look to get back on track this weekend with a pair of home games against the Los Angeles schools. OSU faces USC at 1 p.m. Friday and UCLA at 12 p.m. Sunday.

Men’s soccer loses to Washington 1-0 in conference openern Early goal from Huskies is enough to hold

onto win, Beavers’ offense held scorelessThe Daily BaromeTer

SEATTLE — Oregon State men’s soccer suffered a 1-0 defeat in its Pac-12 conference opener against the Washington Huskies Sunday afternoon.

The Beavers (5-3-1, 0-1-0 Pac-12) conceded the only goal of the game to the Huskies early in the first half off the acrobatic throw-in of Washington

player Michael Harris. Harris’ flip throw was too difficult for the Beaver defense to respond to.

Flip throws are difficult to defend due to their combination of length and power. Whereas nor-mal throw-ins go about 20-25 yards, flip throws can go closer to 40 yards. The amount of power that is behind these throws also presents a dif-ficult challenge in defending them.

That defensive challenge proved the deciding factor in the game Sunday. On multiple occa-

sions, the Huskies (6-3-1, 1-0-0) were able to get in behind the Oregon State defense on the long throw. One throw in the middle of the second half almost resulted in another goal for Washington, hitting off the crossbar.

The Beavers were able to open the second half with more energy and earned more opportunities in front of the goal.

In fact, the Beavers’ best look of the game

pass to tight end Connor Hamlett — he made a statement.

Sean Mannion and the Beavers have arrived.The Sean Mannion of last year might have

faltered late in that game. Maybe he would be flustered by the pass rush and throw an errant pass, take a drive-crippling sack, or try to force a throw into double coverage and get picked off.

But he didn’t do any of those things. Instead, he calmly marched down the field and won the game.

The definitive turning point came on the nine-yard touchdown. Mannion, who is known for his Joe Flacco like demeanor — never getting too high or too low throughout games and never reacting to touchdowns with more than the occa-sional fist pump — did something I’ve never seen.

He celebrated with emotion. He sprinted to Hamlett in jubilation, slapped him on the back, then proceeded to begin slapping high-fives and celebrating with the rest of his teammates and coaches on the sideline.

His reaction says it all. Sean Mannion has figured out how to win football games, which is something the rest of the Pac-12 should be very afraid of.

I don’t know if the Pleasanton, Calif., native will put up 400-plus yards and three touchdowns like he did Saturday every week.

But what’s scary is that he could.Everything this team has done so far, and what

has happened in previous years with Oregon State quarterbacks, says the last two weeks were not flukes.

It’s no secret that Mike Riley’s offense takes about a year for first-year quarterbacks to fully grasp, and that growing pains are to be expected.

Last year, Mannion experienced his fair share of that, but constantly showed glimpses of what we saw against Arizona.

Now factor in the number of weapons the sophomore quarterback has around him.

Markus Wheaton is as dependable a wide receiver there is in college football. Brandin “The Cookie Monster” Cooks is always the fastest man on the field and is as exciting as anyone in the

open field, and Storm Woods has been explosive catching passes out of the backfield.

Kevin Cummings, Obum Gwacham, Connor Hamlett, Colby Prince, Malcolm Agnew and Terron Ward are all guys capable of making plays in the passing game as well.

The sky is the limit for this offense, and what might be the best sign of all for this Beaver offense is the emergence of the running game.

Woods was electric all night, pounding the ball with constant success, which opened up the play action passing game, allowing Mannion to throw the ball deep down the field to his speedy receivers.

While the Oregon State defense has come back down to earth after the dominating Wisconsin performance, the offense has completely taken off.

The Beavers have now played three quality opponents, and won three close games.

What’s even scarier than the skyscraper ceiling of this Oregon State offense?

The fact that OSU hasn’t put together a com-plete game as a team.

Against Wisconsin, it was the defense that took care of business, and in the last two contests it was Mannion and the offense that carried the Beavers.

If the two units can play to their ability, it’s no longer unrealistic to start thinking about roses.

Screw making a bowl game, the aspirations for this team and this season are now as high as their tremendous potential.

If you ask anyone within the program, they will tell you that this team has always believed.

The coaches believe, the players believe and now everybody believes.

Behind the right arm of Sean Mannion this team can contend in the Pac-12. Every game now looks winnable, the team is brimming with confi-dence and the one team that has seemed unbeat-able in the last five years has to come to Reser Stadium for the regular season finale: the Ducks.

Last year’s 3-9 season suddenly feels like it never happened.

Sean Mannion’s arrival means one thing above all else — the Beavers are back.

n OSU got its conference record to 2-2 after weekend wins at home over Colorado, Utah

By Darryl oliver iiiThe Daily BaromeTer

This past Sunday, Oregon State volleyball took home its second win of the weekend, defeating Utah in four sets (26-24, 25-23, 19-25, 25-22) to return to a 2-2 record in Pac-12 play, after defeat-ing Colorado Friday night.

Senior Camille Saxton led all with 19 kills, and sophomore Arica Nassar recorded 13 kills as well to assist in the victory.

“We just did the little things that needed to be done,” said head coach Taras Liskevych. “[In] both the first and second set Utah could have won those, and we were dis-combobulated on our passing.”

Both set one and set two came down to the last few volleys before Oregon State (12-4, 2-2 Pac-12) sealed the win in each set. Back-to-back aces from senior Alyssa O’Neil — who also led the team in aces with three, and in digs with 20 — ended the first set.

Almost halfway through the sec-ond set, freshman Katelyn Driscoll came out of the match due to an injury on a hustle play. Silence fell over Gill as she was walked off into the locker room.

“It [was] unfortunate Driscoll getting hurt, but it’s a part of the game,” Liskevych said.

At the time of Driscoll’s inju-ry, the Beavers found themselves trailing Utah by four, but with an all-around team effort they fought back and took the second set 25-23.

“Accidents happen,” Nassar said. “It’s the sport, but it’s good that Laura Schaudt came in and performed.”

Similar to the match against Colorado, Oregon State dropped the second set due to a few too many errors. But come time for the fourth set, Oregon State snapped back into focus to close out the match. Senior Ashley Eneliko closed out the match to defeat the

Utes (9-8, 0-4) with back-to-back kills.

Even with the two victories over the weekend, the Beavers know what they need to do to maintain those winning ways.

“Keep working on passing and serving,” Liskevych said.

Utah and Colorado are not exactly at the same level of tal-ent as the rest of the conference, and playing stronger opponents is something that will test the Beavers in the coming weeks.

“[We have to] stay focused and take it one game at a time,” Nassar said.

Taking it one game at a time may just be the best strategy for the Beavers. If they can keep up the

pace and stay focused, they may find themselves in the tournament this year.

Oregon State is back on the road once more after having its first two home matches of the season this past weekend. OSU travels to Berkeley to take on Cal Friday night. The Golden Bears (8-6, 2-2) will play Oregon in Berkeley on Wednesday before Oregon State travels down for their match on Friday.

The Beavers don’t return home again until the following Friday, Oct. 12, for a match against University of Washington.

idea and predict that women will also come to dominate the professional world as well. So if women are just as capable as men, with regards to intel-lect and professional ambition, then should this change the way we view the female “role” in modern society? Should men still buy dinner, hold open doors and put rain jackets over puddles so that ladies won’t dampen their heels?

Those of us old-fashioned folk would say that yes, it’s a man’s duty. Well, along those

same lines, is it really so bold to ask our female partners if they can work part-time so they can stay home to take care of the kids, or cook every night and do all the house chores? I mean, it’s what couples have been doing for the better part of American history, right?

Ah ha! It seems as though I have illuminated a little double standard in American culture! And one that actually favors women! In all honestly, maybe it’s a good thing; it’s nice to see some equality in that sense.

Anyway, here’s my solu-tion — women, don’t expect men to be the chivalrous white

knight of the past, and men, don’t feel obligated to play the white knight! Men, don’t expect your women to act like stay-at-home cleaning and day-care services and women, don’t feel obligated to do it.

Ladies, if you play into the modern homogenized gender-role movement, then instead of being disappointed when a guy doesn’t hold the door for you, be pleasantly surprised when he does. Men, do the same and you will come to appreciate a clean house and dinner on the table from time to time! If com-promise is not your style, then by all means seek out someone

who is willing to be that old-fashioned partner.

As for me, I choose the lat-ter. I’ll continue to hold doors and buy dinner, so long as my future wife knows how to cook! So before we go complaining more about how “feminism is taking over the world” or “chiv-alry is dead,” let’s just recog-nize that, although things have changed, how we fill our role and seek out the role of our partners is still our choice.

Mr. Pells expressed concern about the university “pushing” certain initiatives or values. Many sustainability programs started because of students. For example, the Student Sustainability Initiative (SSI) was formed by students in the Campus

This was the miracle of Medinah.

In 1999 it was the U.S. which stunned the golfing world as it fought back from a seemingly impossible position to win at Brookline.

Now, Europe too has its own comeback story as Martin Kaymer held his nerve to hole the most dramatic of putts and ensure a quite incredible story.

Playing in the blue and white outfits made famous by golf legend Seve Ballesteros, Europe’s players produced a performance that the Spaniard would have been proud of.

While the U.S. had domi-nated the first two days of the competition, they simply had no answer to a European team determined to honour Ballesteros’ memory.

Led by the indomitable Ian Poulter, who won all four of his matches during the weekend, Europe roared back from 10-6 down to claim a 14 1/2-13 1/2. victory.

While Jose-Maria Olazabal’s

men had struggled to keep up with the U.S. in the fourballs and the foursomes, they raced out of the traps from the very first minute.

Led by Luke Donald, who saw off Bubba Watson in the opening game, Europe rode on a crest of a wave with Poulter once again at the heart of the action.

Englishman Poulter, a wild-card pick by captain Olazabal, justified his selection with another fine display full of courage, passion and no lack of skill.

He saw off Webb Simpson 2 and 1 as the U.S. lead began to shrink in alarming fashion.

Suddenly there was a hint of panic amongst the home support.

Paul Lawrie claimed Europe’s next point, thrash-ing $10 million man Brandt Snedeker 5 and 3 in a wonder-ful display by the Scotsman.

With the momentum firmly behind Europe, Rory McIlroy edged out Keegan Bradley 2

and 1 before Poulter brought Europe level.

Dustin Johnson got the U.S. its first point of the day following a 3 and 2 win over Nicolas Colsaerts.

While that victory was met with loud cheers, the joy was shortlived as Justin Rose pro-duced an incredible run of form to defeat Phil Mickelson.

Rose was trailing going into the 17th, but holed a stunning putt to level before sneaking past Phil Mickelson at the last for a 2 up victory.

The U.S. moved ahead once again to lead 12-11 fol-lowing Zach Johnson’s 2 and 1 win over a disappointing Graeme McDowell.

But Europe refused to give up and Lee Westwood holed his putt on the 18th to secure a 3 and 2 win over Matt Kuchar and round off a difficult week on a high note.

There was further drama as Jim Furyk lost out in sen-sational fashion to Sergio Garcia.

Furyk thought he had won the contest on the 16th and began to celebrate before his hole had hit the bottom — only for the ball to lip out.

The American then lost the 17th to go all-square and his poor putt on the last allowed Garcia to put Europe in front for the very first time.

Jason Dufner saw off Peter Hanson to make it 13-13 as the tension rocketed.

With two matches remain-ing on the course both teams sensed victory but it was Europe which held its nerve.

Martin Kaymer took a one-shot lead on the 17th and then held his nerve in impec-cable fashion to hole the winning putt on the last and defeat Steve Stricker.

That left Europe on 14 points and Francesco Molinari secured the half needed to win the cup out-right after finishing level with Tiger Woods.

Unites States stunned as Europe wins Ryder Cup

Obama blocks Chinese acquisition of Oregon wind farm

President Obama vetoed the acquisi-tion of four wind-farm companies in the U.S. by a Chinese-owned firm on Friday, citing national security concerns.

The companies’ projects are all located near a U.S. military site in Oregon, the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility Boardman, the Treasury Department said in a statement.

The firm in question is Ralls Corporation, which is owned by two Chinese nationals and affiliated with

a Chinese construction company that makes wind turbines. It acquired the projects earlier this year, but has now been ordered to sell them.

Obama’s decision marks the first time since 1990 that a president has blocked a business deal for national security reasons, according to a Treasury official.

“The President’s action demonstrates the Administration’s commitment to protecting national security while main-taining the United States’ longstanding policy on open investment,” the Treasury Department said.

“The President’s decision is specific to

this transaction and is not a precedent with regard to any other foreign direct invest-ment from China or any other country.”

Tim Xia, a lawyer for Ralls Corporation, said it “poses no national security threat whatsoever.”

“The President’s order is without justi-fication, as scores of other wind turbines already operate in the area where Ralls’ project is located,” Xia said in a statement. He added that the company hopes to mount a legal challenge, though a Treasury official said the President’s decision was not reviewable.

event was that we didn’t push anything on the kids,” said Dick Powell, Public Outreach Forester and founding mem-ber of KDC. “We never told them ‘this is how it is,’ or, ‘this is the truth.’ She thought it was wonderful how we merely presented information in a fun and informative way.”

Even at 3 p.m., near the end of the event, the Benton County Fairgrounds was full of children and parents running from presenter to presenter. Building birdhouses, archery and many other activities were present. Jody Einerson of the OSU Extension Service helped at a station with the Neighborhood Sustainability Stewards who were interested in promoting sustainable liv-ing. “They’re having the kids build a sustainable and waste-free lunch,” Einerson said. “They pick up cards for differ-ent food items. Then, depend-ing on their age, if they’re little

we let them pick what they want, and if they’re older we encourage healthier choices.”

Another group in atten-dance was the 4H Youth Development Program. One of their stations let the children paint ceramic fish and was run by students from Crescent Valley High School.

“We’d done this at the State Fair and it was really fun, so we thought the kids here would enjoy it too,” said Ann Santich, a Crescent Valley High School student.

When the KDC first started, mainly the presenters did all of the teaching. Since its con-ception, the event has truly evolved, according to Maggie Livesay, a 4H development agent and founding mem-ber of KDC. Over time they allowed the kids to be greeters and eventually teach along-side the professionals.

“Some people were tenta-tive at first, but now we have around 100 middle school to high school students helping out,” Livesay said. “The adults

began to appreciate the kids’ ability to teach and learn once they saw how much they were capable of.”

The skills they develop serve as an example of the purpose of this event: to inform, edu-cate and develop a community around conservation and appre-ciation for natural resources from a young age in a county that depends on those things to flourish. Livesay is evaluating the impact the event has had on volunteers by asking them if it has helped them become more confident and learn about teaching and themselves.

“We once heard a volunteer student say they never thought volunteering could be so fun,” Powell said.

The event averages 2,000 people and 40 organizations

per year with 32-33 participat-ing this year. Volunteers run everything and the only cost is the facilities, advertising and publicity. County commis-sioners have let KDC use the fairgrounds the entire time it has existed.

Powell first heard about the idea for KDC in Western Forestry, a magazine in the mid-1990s.

“I thought that’d be a neat thing to do,” Powell said. “I was treasurer of the Society of American Foresters at the time and I brought it up and said, ‘let’s try to pull this off.’ We made a list and met about the groups who should come. It just grew from there.“

LOS ANGELES — Ten miles of the nation’s busiest highway should reopen, on time, Monday morning after the latest phase in a massive project that led Southern California officials to dub it “Carmageddon II.”

Despite the closure of a large swath of Interstate 405, the nightmare traffic tie-ups that prompted that fittingly Hollywood-worthy name failed to materialize over the weekend.

In fact, with a few hours of work still left to go before the roads were declared safe, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was already declaring the project a “resounding success.”

“Our hope and expec-tation was that it would be Carmaheaven II,” Villaraigosa said, noting that a weekend-long highway shutdown last year had proceeded without a hitch, despite dire forecasts. “That hope and expectation came to be realized.”

The 405, as it is locally called, connects suburban San Fernando Valley with Los Angeles International Airport. It also stretches into the well-to-do neighborhoods of west Los Angeles, such as Bel Air and Brentwood.

The massive transporta-

tion project’s main aim is to install what Villaraigosa said would be the “longest ... car-pool lane in the nation” on the oft-packed highway.

Authorities finished work early last summer, reopening lanes hours ahead of what they’d anticipated. That will not be the case this time around — in part because “we had 30 percent more work to do,” said the mayor — though the interstate is on schedule to reopen at 5 a.m. Monday.

“We are on track, thank you Los Angeles,” Villaraigosa said late Sunday afternoon.

The project did see an unscripted moment Saturday, however, when a section of the famed 50-year-old Mulholland Drive Bridge — a fixture in the Los Angeles freeway-scape — narrowly missing workers who were demolishing another part of it.

Crews had planned to take down part of the bridge to make room for a wider roadway. The bridge will be reconstructed.

“On an operation of this size, of this magnitude, piec-es come down of all different sizes and shapes,” said Dan Kulka of Kiewit Construction.

“Carmageddon II” fails to materialize in Los Angeles Interstate 405 closure

NEW YORK — Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, the influential pub-lisher who transformed The New York Times in his long tenure, has died at age 86, the newspa-per reported Saturday.

Sulzberger died Saturday at his home in Southampton, New York, after a long illness, the paper said, citing his family.

He started in 1963 as both publisher of the paper and chair-man and chief executive of The New York Times Company. He left the publisher’s job in 1992 and the chief executive’s job in 1997, handing both reins to his son, the paper reported.

The Sulzberger family has helmed the paper since 1896,

when it was bought by Adolph Ochs, Sulzberger’s grandfather.

With the family having such a long history at the Times, some staffers felt like part of the fam-ily, too.

“For those of us working at the NYT, the passing of Arthur O. Sulzberger has the sharp feel of a death in the family,” wrote Times national correspondent John Schwartz on Twitter.

Jim Roberts, an assistant man-aging editor at the Times, called the late publisher a “monumen-tal contributor to journalism.”

U.S. President Barack Obama said he was saddened by news of Sulzberger’s death.

“He was a firm believer in the

importance of a free and inde-pendent press — one that isn’t afraid to seek the truth, hold those in power accountable, and tell the stories that need to be told,” Obama said in a statement.

When Sulzberger took over the paper in 1963, the paper was respected and influential, often setting the national agenda, the Times said. But it also had finan-cial troubles.

Under Sulzberger’s tenure, the Times was transformed into a paper with a national scope, sold on both coasts, and at the heart of a diversified, multibillion-dollar media operation that included newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, the Times said.

“Mr. Sulzberger’s insistence on independence was shown in his decision in 1971 to publish a secret government history of the Vietnam War known as the Pentagon Papers,” Times col-umnist Clyde Haberman wrote in Saturday’s obituary. “It was a defining moment for him and, in the view of many journalists and historians, his finest.”

The Nixon administration demanded the Times stop its series of articles on papers, citing national security, but the newspa-per refused on First Amendment grounds. It won its case in the U.S. Supreme Court, in a land-mark ruling on press freedom.

Kickoff meeting in MU 208 at noon on Wednesday October 3

high one week ago at UCLA. Mannion threw three touchdowns Saturday night, including the game winner to sophomore tight end Connor Hamlett with 1:17 remain-ing in the fourth quarter, to take a 38-35 lead.

Mannion also did not throw a single interception in the game, and has only one recorded interception in three games this year after having the second-most intercep-tions in the nation in 2011.

The lead became a win when junior cor-nerback Rashaad Reynolds sealed the vic-tory with an interception. Reynolds had an impressive performance, with 10 total tackles and five pass breakups to go with his game-ending interception.

Senior wide receiver Markus Wheaton had a large chunk of Mannion’s 433 passing yards. Wheaton caught 10 passes for 166

yards and two touchdowns. Wheaton – from Chandler, Ariz. – has historically done well in his home state against the Wildcats. He had seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown two years ago at Arizona.

After a huge game — 175 yards and a touchdown — at UCLA a week ago, sopho-more wide receiver Brandin Cooks did well once again, catching nine balls and record-ing 149 receiving yards.

Not to be outdone by the numbers from OSU players, Arizona also had a field day on offense. Senior quarterback Matt Scott threw for 400-plus yards and three touchdowns, but had two interceptions.

The other interception during the game was arguably the biggest play of the game. After the Wildcats scored 21 unanswered points, Oregon State had a turnover on downs, giving Arizona a chance to blow the game wide open.

Jordan Poyer tipped a pass, the ball floated toward an Arizona wide receiver, who also

bobbled the ball, and Poyer dove for the ball, acrobatically coming up with possession.

After the interception, the Beavers drove into Arizona territory, and redshirt freshman Storm Woods ran in a 1-yard touchdown. Woods had his best game of his career, run-ning the ball 29 times for 161 yards and a score. He also had 42 receiving yards on four receptions.

Arizona’s running back Ka’Deem Carey ran for 115 yards and two touchdowns on 17 attempts.

After Saturday night’s victory, OSU head coach Mike Riley became the all-time leader in wins in Oregon State history.

The Beavers return home for the first time in a month since the home opener against Wisconsin. They will take on Washington State on Saturday at 3 p.m. The Cougars (2-3, 0-2) fell to Oregon on Saturday 51-26.

Sophomore wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught nine passes for 149 yards in Saturday’s 38-35 win over the University of Arizona. Cooks has already surpassed his 2011 yardage and touchdown numbers in the first three games this season.

happened within the first five minutes of the start of the second half. Senior Emery Welshman crossed the ball in, off the left touchline, to Glenn Paden, whose header hit the post.

Although the Beavers had the ball more in the second half, playing more of their pos-session-style soccer, the Washington defense stood their ground.

Welshman, last week’s Pac-12 Player of the Week, had a quiet game for the Beavers. He scored in the Beavers’ last three games, but was unable to make a resounding differ-ence in this conference opener. Washington’s defense was able to effectively shut down his presence as a scoring threat.

Oregon State’s redshirt freshman goal-keeper, Matt Bersano, made some key saves in the second half that kept the Beavers from a higher scoring deficit.

Two of those saves included a forceful punch clearance off a Washington free kick, and a snatch out of the air from another long throw from Harris.

It was OSU’s lack of connecting passes from the midfield to the final third that pre-vented them from scoring opportunities in the game.

The Huskies provided intense pressure throughout the game in the midfield. They were often the first to loose balls and to step in front of Oregon State passes, preventing the Beavers from establishing their normal rhythm.

Washington’s direct style of attack also challenged the Oregon State defense and kept them on their toes.

As expected for a Pac-12 game, the physi-cality was higher than most of the pre-season ones. The Beavers collected two yel-low cards, one for Khiry Shelton and Paden. The Huskies were also awarded a yellow in the second half for a late tackle.

The last 20 minutes of the game saw an increase in intensity as the Beavers were knocking at the door for an equalizer and frustration was high as the Huskies contin-ued to deny them.

It was a back-and-forth battle in this Pac-12 opener against Washington, sending the Beavers to 0-1 in Pac-12 play.

Oregon State is on the road once again this Friday, with arguably their toughest challenge of the season at No. 9 UCLA.
