A group of mechanical engineering graduate stu-dents have created a recyclable laptop that can becompletely disassembled by hand in under 30 seconds.

As part of a corporate-sponsored design class, Me-chanical Engineering 310, Project Based Design, En-gineering and Development, the Stanford studentscollaborated with students at Finlands Aalto Universi-ty to design and build the Bloom prototype laptopover the course of a year.

At the beginning of 2009, Autodesk, the teams as-signed sponsor, asked the students to create a fully re-cyclable consumer-electronics product using the com-panys design software.

After the team decided on a laptop as their productof choice,they set about addressing the ways in whichtraditional laptops are not eco-friendly. According toteam member Aaron Engel-Hall 09 M.S. 10, thismeant making it easy to remove the bad applescomponents such as the circuit boards from the restof laptop.

Almost everything in a laptop is theoretically recy-clable, Engel-Hall said.Its mostly metal,plastic andglass.The problem is that the metal, plastic and glassare completely integrated [with the rest of the laptop],and we need to separate them before they can be recy-cled.

The Bloom can be disassembled by hand in 30 sec-onds and in 10 steps.A traditional laptop, on the otherhand,requires three tools and about 120 steps and cantake up to 45 minutes to disassemble.

Additionally,the Bloom contains an envelope withprepaid postage behind the screen, which customerscan use to send circuit boards to a specialized recyclingfacility.

Engel-Hall and his Stanford team members, RohanBhobe 09 M.S. 09 and Kirstin Gail 09 M.S. 09, spentthe first six months of the academic year conductinguser testing and research to determine why people donot currently recycle their electronics,specifically theirlaptops, and what would make them more likely to doso.Then they collaborated with four students at AaltoUniversity in Finland on the actual design and con-struction.Engel-Hall said the 10-hour time differencebetween California and Finland actually helped thegroup as they neared their deadline.

Playing at the center of the nationalstage,Stanfords football team made a re-sounding statement on Saturday night.

The No.6 Cardinal (8-1,5-1 Pac-10) de-feated No. 18 Arizona (7-2,4-2), unleash-

ing offensive fireworks en route to a 42-17victory.The win keeps Stanford in the dis-cussion for a possible berth in the RoseBowl or another BCS bowl.

Were playing for a championship,Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh said.Thats our goal to get to the RoseBowl and win a Pac-10 championship.Thats all were playing for.

The game featured two marquee quar-terbacks in Stanford redshirt sophomoreAndrew Luck and Arizona junior NickFoles, leading some to expect the game tobe an offensive shootout. Luck and theStanford offense certainly fulfilled thoseexpectations, tallying 510 yards,including293 yards on 23-32 passing from Luck.

We prepared ourselves for ashootout, said junior defensive backMichael Thomas.We had some goals inmind . . . if it came down to a shootout,wewere prepared.

The Stanford offense set the tone earlyin the game,scoring a touchdown on a 45-yard strike from Luck to junior receiverChris Owusu, who was streaking wideopen down the left sideline. The score in-dicated that the Card would be able tomove the ball at will against an overhypedArizona defense.

San Francisco officials are investigating the death of a Stanford alumna,Jia Hou 07, who graduated with adegree in psychology.

Hou died on Oct.29 in San Francisco at age 25, saidAlan Pringle of the city-county Office of the MedicalExaminer last week.On Sunday, a spokesman for theoffice said the case was still under investigation andwould be for at least several more weeks.

Word of Hous death had spread last week to someof the staff who worked in Freshman-Sophomore Col-lege (FroSoCo) when Hou lived there, including resi-dent fellows Andrew Dimock and Sharon Palmer andformer college assistants Cisco Barron 04 and LaConaWoltmon 04.They all declined to comment.

Squids for Kids, a growing outreach program runthrough Stanfords Hopkins Marine Station, is teachinggood ocean stewardship to kids.

A lot of kids have eaten seafood but havent reallythought of what that means,said Julia Stewart, the pro-gram coordinator and a graduate student in biology atStanford.To be able to see an animal,touch it and thinkabout it moves towards ocean awareness.

The program started when William Gilly, a biologyprofessor at Hopkins,gave a lecture and dissection work-

shop at a science camp in Cambria,Calif., two years ago.After someone suggested that Humboldt squid besent to the home institutions of some of the conferenceattendees,the program took off.The novelty of the Hum-boldt squid garnered attention through word of mouth,while the website helped promote inquiries from otherinstitutions.

The teachers were all astounded because they uselittle squid for dissection, Gilly said. Theyre small,mangled, deformed and colorless. In contrast, Hum-boldt squid are not just novel to most people, but alsocharismatic,according to Gilly. Their relatively largersize, and hence larger organ systems,makes them opti-mal for dissections when compared to other, smallersquid.

The squid is a novel platform for increased aware-ness in students about ocean health,Gilly added. It al-lows people to connect with the ocean on a differentlevel,Stewart said.

Since the programs inception, any teacher who canuse the squid in a rational wayis eligible to receive one,Gilly said.Thus far,60 to 75 Humboldt squid have been

Its been a season of successes forthe Stanford womens soccer team,but last weekends final series certain-ly helped to end the year on a particu-larly high note.With a pair of shutoutvictories over the Oregon schools athome, the No.1 Cardinal (18-0-2,9-0-0 Pac-10) clinched sole possession of

the Pac-10 Conference title and itssecond consecutive undefeated regu-lar season.

In a tight match on Friday night atLaird Q. Cagan Stadium, Stanfordwas able to capitalize on an early goaland survive an extended OregonState assault to ultimately hand theBeavers their first loss of the confer-ence season. The 2-0 win was Stan-fords 16th victory in as many chances

and secured a share of the conferencetitle, which the Cardinal went on toclinch on Sunday.

RESEARCH

Grant aids musculardystrophy research

By KATHERINE NABEL

A $2.3 million grant this fall fromthe California Institute of Regenera-tive Medicine (CIRM) is the most re-cent installment of stem cell researchmoney poured into Stanford labs.Since 2004, Stanford has receivedabout $175 million from CIRM, ac-cording to the School of Medicine. Inlate October,the CIRM awarded ge-netics professor Michele Calos $2.3million for her work on Duchennemuscular dystrophy (DMD). Thegrant was part of a $67 million effortto mobilize stem cell research in Cal-ifornia.

One of the most common and se-rious forms of muscular dystrophy,DMD affects one in every 3,500 new-born boys. This disease causes irre-versible,widespread muscle degener-ation and is,in most cases,fatal.Muta-tion of a vital muscle protein, dys-trophin, is one of the key causes of DMD.Absence of this muscle-main-taining protein causes weakening of the muscles in the hips, pelvic area,thighs and shoulders.

To begin to approach a therapyfor this condition, we must provide a

new supply of stem cells that carrythe missing protein that is lacking inDMD, Calos said.These cells mustbe delivered to the body in such a waythat they will engraft in the musclesand produce new, healthy muscle tis-sue on an ongoing basis.

Like most retrogressive diseases,DMD eventually leads to destruc-tion of most of the muscles in thebody. DMD is caused by an x-linkedrecessive inheritance, and patientswith DMD typically die before theage of 30.

Calos hopes a cure for DMD willstem from a therapy that could cor-rect this muscle mutation by repro-gramming skin and fat cells into new,healthy stem cells.

We start with mice that have amutation in the same gene that is af-fected in DMD, Calos said.We re-program some of their adult cells,addthe correct gene and grow the cells inincubators in a manner that will pro-

duce muscle stem cells.Calos and her team then evaluate

the effect of transplanting these cor-rected muscle stem cells into DMDmice and the mices ability to gener-ate new muscle tissue.

Medical School spokeswomanKrista Conger praised the efforts of Caloss team and their mouse modeldevelopment.

If successful, Conger said, theresearchers will develop standardprocedures to test and ensure thesafety of all cells for eventual use inhumans in DMD and possibly otherdegenerative disorders.

And the funding provided byCIRM will certainly aid Caloss ef-forts.Established in November 2004with the passage of Proposition 71,the California Stem Cell Researchand Cures Act, CIRM has provided$3 billion in funding to Californiauniversities and research institutionsto date.

With the opening of the nationslargest stem cell center,The Lorry I.Lokey Stem Cell Research Building,last month, the Stanford School of Medicine is continuing to makestrides in its stem cell research efforts.The 200,000-square-foot building willhouse more than 600 scientists hop-

ing to collaborate with one another.Irving Weissman, director of theStanford Stem Cell Biology and Re-generative Medicine Institute,said of the building, What is important isthat it will give people the opportuni-ty to apply stem cell thinking to dif-ferent problems,including regenera-tion,aging and cancer.

While Calos research is not yet ata stage to involve clinical trials, shehopes her mouse research will pro-vide the insight necessary to beginwork in humans.

In order to make this processinto something that could be used inthe clinic, we will develop standardprocedures for making and testingthe cells to ensure that they are ef-fective and safe, Calos said.In thisway,this project could lead to a newstem cell therapy that could improvethe clinical condition of DMD pa-tients.

President Obama recognizedthree Stanford scientists on Fridayalong with 82 other scientists and en-gineers receiving the PresidentialEarly Career Awards.

Gianluca Iaccarino, an assistantprofessor of mechanical engineering,

was nominated for the award by theU.S. Department of Energy. His cur-rent research includes work on urbanenvironment modeling, according tohis website.

Dominique Bergmann, who con-ducts biology research as an assistantprofessor, was nominated by the Na-tional Institutes of Health (NIH) andthe U.S. Department of Health andHuman Services (HHS).

Skype briefly and tell them whatneeded to be done, he said.

The Finnish students, in turn,would Skype the Stanford studentsat the end of their day as the sun wasrising on Palo Alto and relay furtherinstructions to them.

The team brainstormed severalproject ideas before deciding on a re-cyclable laptop, including toys thatcan change as children grow older,remote-control explosives and aphone with a bamboo seed that cus-tomers can water at the end of thephones life. (The seed would thensprout, crack the phone and contin-ue growing out of it.) The team ulti-mately chose the laptop,said Engel-Hall,in order to generate the widestset of criteria for sustainable design.

We decided the laptop would bebest because its so difficult andshares almost all problems of recy-cling that other electronics have,he

said.If we can make a laptop recy-clable,we can apply those lessons toanything else.

For their efforts, the team re-ceived the award for Autodesk In-ventor of the Month. The laptop isstill in prototype, or proof-of-con-cept,form and has not been picked

up by any laptop manufacturers, al-though Engel-Hall said the teammight be interestedin developingthe technology further at somepoint.

With the expansion of the curricu-lum,the program hopes to expand itstarget base. By sending 100 squid ayear, Gilly speculates they couldreach 4,000 students.

The program sends the squid witha dissection guide of the external andinternal anatomy geared toward jun-ior-high and older students. The les-son plan is designed for after-school

programs or for incorporation intoteachers existing lesson plans.Stewart is now developing a cur-

riculum that can be applicable to anyage group so that any desiring teachermay use the lesson.

I hope to bring it into a bigger pic-ture, Stewart said.We can use thesquid as a way to talk about conserva-tion and bigger-scale processes andhow they relate to the ecosystem.

To do this, Stewart hopes to in-clude a broad range of topics,includ-ing anatomy, physiology, pollutionand fishing,that can be expanded de-pending on the age group.

Currently Squids for Kids is apply-ing for annual grants to pay for ship-ping costs.

T hirty years ago, no one could avoidawkward situations by staring at a cellphone. Couldnt call someone to bailout of a party for another. Couldnt log on tothe Internet and do a quick Wikipediasearch to finish an assignment on Nietzschebefore class.Couldnt procrastinate in the li-brary with Facebook and iTunes. Couldntperuse news and social media websites whilebored in a dorm. There was nothing to dis-tract you on a long bus ride or keep you oc-cupied during a walk.

Technology has changed the game. Wereconstantly connected, whether to ourfriends,the Internet or our phones.

A few decades ago, it would have beentruly impossible to avoid time alone. How-ever, now that we have the tools we do, wehave both the ability and inclination never togo without some crutch. So we have slowlymade ourselves incapable of being alonewithout feeling somehow strange. Nowa-days,many of us,myself included,feel down-right uncomfortable during periods of soli-tary disconnection.

As technology has slowly moved into thesocial sphere, becoming ubiquitous in mod-ern life, its hard to find a place it hasntreached. The time alone and unstimulatedthat was once unavoidable is now becomingsomething to look for.Its rare to be s eparat-ed from cell phones, TVs, social networksand friends. Thats forced a fundamentalchange: We spend less time with ourselvesand, therefore,know ourselves less.

This is bad. Those moments in which weare alone with only our thoughts are some of the most powerful and some of the most pro-ductive in terms of self-discovery. Self-

knowledge and self-awareness are vital to asatisfying life,I believe, and they cant be cul-tivated in an environment in which we are inconstant contact with other stimuli.

I think,also, that having as many crutchesas we do, we end up less happy with our-selves.We are not forced to face our own lim-itations and problems.We can use tools suchas Facebook and text messaging to help usalleviate and distract us from our insecuri-ties and doubts, never truly confrontingthem. In many ways, technology acts as anadvanced form of repression;something anypsych major will tell you is no good.

Essentially, we have made it possible notto know ourselves,and, by doing so, to nursetremendous insecurity. By avoiding reflec-tion and relying on social media to help usand distract us in times of difficulty,we neveranswer the questions that trouble us or learnmechanisms to cope with them.

In essence, technology is drugging us. Ithas given us a method, much like a drug, tocompletely avoid confronting our ownshortcomings. Relatively mindless mediahave encroached on every aspect of life, tothe point where solitary pursuits are beingexcluded from the normal course of a day.This is purging reflection from popular soci-ety.

Its important for human beings to knowthemselves. In order to find meaning andsatisfaction in life,we need to spend time re-flecting on what we want and who we are.Being surrounded by friends and havingsupport systems and some mindless enter-tainment are of course important. But with-out the meaning supplied by reflectivethought,they make for an empty life.

We Stanford students are known for ourdrive, our accomplishments and our abilityto stay active and dedicated. However, weneed to match our external efforts at im-provement with internal ones. We have toask ourselves why we do what we do, toquestion our own motivations and impulses.Only then can we reach a stable and happyunderstanding, and somehow insulate our-selves from the changes of the outside world.

OPINIONS

I n a six-month period between the spr ing of my junior year in high school and the fall of my senior year, I experienced three unex-pected losses. One of my classmates,my auntand my homeroom adviser of three years diedat the ages of 17, 42 and 56, respectively.

While my entire school mourned the loss-es of my classmate and teacher, only a smallnumber of my friends and my teachers wereaware that my aunt had died, too. As con-tained as I kept my mourning in high school,I find it even harder to express my grief atStanford.

Last Thursday, I attended a Student Grief and Bereavement Workshop at the VadenHealth Center.The event, which is co-spon-sored by the Office for Religious Life,Coun-seling and Psychological Services and theResidence Deans twice a quarter, allowedundergraduate and graduate students fromall of Stanfords schools to share their storiesof loss in a supportive environment.

As one of seven attendees,the workshopprovided a much-needed respite for me.Though the Stanford Bubble generallyrefers to our self-sufficiency and seclusionfrom the outside world,I think it also appliesto how the campus, and college students ingeneral,deals with death and mourning.

During the workshop, I learned thatroughly a quarter of any college campus isdealing with loss at any given time.Whateverthe percentage is at Stanford,it surprised methat so few students attended the workshopon Thursday and that I was the only male stu-dent present.

Maybe the event wasnt publicized wellenough, but I think that even if flyers wereposted in every bathroom stall on campus,at-tendance still wouldnt have been very high.

On a campus where students always seemhappy and laid back and the weather is usu-ally 75 and sunny,it doesnt seem appropriateto grieve or feel depressed. And particularlyas a freshman, I do not yet feel comfortablesaying to my friends or dormmates,Actual-ly, Im not having a good day I miss myaunt a lot today,rather than smiling and say-ing, Im fine. I have also found very littletime to grieve there is always a friend tohang out with,a meeting or event to attend,homework to finish and something newabout Stanford to discover and marvel at.

Death is also a taboo topic in our societyas a whole.We are raised to believe that allpeople live long, healthy lives and only diewhen they are old.We are made to feel asthough there is an appropriate amount of time for grieving, and after that period weshould have gotten ourselves together.These notions make dealing with loss partic-ularly difficult.

And in a society that labels men who ex-press their emotions as weak, grieving be-comes an even more internalized processthat is in constant conflict with our externalrepresentations. I think this judgment is areason I was the only male to attend theworkshop.

If death became a mainstream topic in ourcultural dialogue, loss and grief would bemuch easier to handle.I had many opportu-nities to discuss death and mourning with myhomeroom teacher before he died. Hearinghis experiences with losing loved ones andhis views on death not only helped me copewith the losses of my classmate and aunt, butit ultimately made his death less traumaticand more a fact of life. Instead of becomingdepressed over his death,I dedicated my sen-

ior year to celebrating his legacy and myhomeroom bonded to become arguably thebest and happiest one in the school.

But since such a drastic cultural shift doesnot seem likely,a few questions remain:How,if at all, can we as a campus encourage moreopen dialogue on death and grieving? Whatis the best way to publicize events like theStudent Grief and Bereavement Workshop?Through flyers? Through Facebook? Byword of mouth? And for those of us whohave not experienced loss, how can we besupportive of our peers that are grieving?

One of the topics we discussed during theworkshop was the dilemma created whenone says,You can always talk to me if yourefeeling down.While the s entiments behindthis statement are valid, it puts the onus of starting the conversation on the griever,something that can be particularly hard whenone already feels buried in emotion.

So, while I do not have any concrete an-swers for my first two questions,as someonewho has experienced loss,I think being sensi-tive and supportive would suffice to answerthe last question and address the issue of whostarts the conversation about ones grief andwhen. We should pay attention to eachothers moods and check on our friends whenthey seem unhappy.And though we usuallywont feel the loss as deeply as our friends, Ithink simply spending time with them showsthat we care and want to help them cope asbest as we can.

C ARDINAL S IN S

L ast Friday I had to take my senior por-traits. I was excited since these wouldbe my first school photos as Cristopher.In elementary school I would feel jealous of the boys in my class because they got to wearties.At 21, in my last year of school, I finallyhad my chance.I spent a good time lookingthrough my closet,and after much delibera-tion I settled on a pinkish red shirt with a ma-roon tie.Sexy.

However, I realized the portrait peoplehad sent me the e-mail and used my legalname. I found that there was no way tochange my name at all. When I showed up,they would look me up under my legalname. I would be outed. This realizationparalyzed me.

I couldnt sleep that night. I felt scared,anxious.I wasnt in the mood to educate peo-ple. I was just a regular guy who wanted hispicture taken.When I come out,I want it tobe on my terms.When I write this column,Ispeak about my experience to the extent thatIm comfortable. If someone outs me, or if Ifind myself trapped in a position in which Ihave to explain my situation,I feel humiliat-ed. Coming out once is stressful enough. Iswear, if I had a dollar every time I had tocome out,Id probably collect enough moneyfor surgery.

That morning I headed over to OldUnion.A man sat at a table outside the roomwhere the portraits were being taken.

Whats your last name?he asked.Bautista, I said.He looked through the files for a long

while.He paused, scratched his head in con-fusion and looked through the files again.

You dont seem to be on here, sir. Theonly Bautista I have on here is Cristina

Yeah, thats me, I muttered. I couldbarely form the words.

Oh! he laughed,awkwardly.All right,Cristina, he said, handing me some paper-work that was already filled out with my legalname and gender. You just need to sign acouple things and well let you know whenwell take your picture. He then said a cou-ple other things I dont remember I justremember how he kept calling me by mylegal name,as if to try to compensate for hisearlier blunder.Every time he said that nameit chipped away at my sanity,bit by bit.Whensomeone outs me,I get into a mode of ratherlearned helplessness where I just kind of zone out and I dont listen to what anyonesays. I emotionally shut down. I get quiet. Idont pay attention to things.And that wasme at that moment.I just wanted to run away.But I didnt.

Can I correct my name if its spelledwrong?I asked.

Of course. He probably figured I justwanted to correct a letter or two.

I ended up crossing out my legal name ina thick, dark line and writing CristopherMarcin huge letters. I scratched out the let-ter F under my gender marker and re-

placed it with an M. I wrote with such avengeance that an observer would wonderhow a simple piece of paper could offendsomeone so much.

There were other guys waiting their turn.When the picture guy called out my name my legal name,first and last those waitinglooked around, a bit confused. I answered,feeling humiliated, and handed him the cor-rected paperwork. He looked surprised,scoured over it several times,alternating be-tween looking at me and then back at the pa-pers.

Ill change your name in the database,he said,embarrassed.

At that point I was tired and a bit fed up.Thanks,I muttered.

No problem, he said.He was apologeticthe rest of the session, but I just wanted toleave.When it was over,I grabbed my jacketand walked out as fast as I could.

He learned from his mistake,Im sure,andwill keep this sort of thing in mind in the fu-ture.In retrospect, Im glad about that.But Iwas forced to out myself,forced to correct myname and gender to a man I didnt know,justso I could get my stupid picture taken.Theexperience was so emotionally exhausting Igot depressed and ended up locking myself inmy room that night hoping that if I quaran-tined myself the sadness would go away. Idont want to be Cristopher the trans guy allthe time.Sometimes I just want to be Cristo-pher. But its probably too much to ask in aworld like this.

Funny how a day can be ruined because of a name. Maybe this week will be better.Maybe.

Cross your fingers something good will hap- pen to Cristopher this week so he will stop writ-ing depressing columns. E-mail him at [email protected].

I ts hard to feel sympathy for your class-mates who aspire to be bankers. But if there is any satisfaction in their misery,you should know that the circles of hell inDantes Inferno are purgatory comparedto the recruiting process for Wall Street. If you find that econ major in your dorm sob-bing in the kitchen and stuffing his face withdonuts at 3 a.m., hes probably had a roughinterview.Unfortunately,the very campus in-stitution designed to ameliorate such ends the Career Development Center hasweaknesses when it comes to this alreadyhorrendous process.

Quite simply, Stanford undergraduates

are at an enormous disadvantage when itcomes to finance and consulting recruiting.There are three specific areas the CDCneeds to improve immediately before westart losing bright economics majors to Har-vard.

First, the website is a disaster.Youre al-ways half-suspicious youve signed up for afull interview slot because of all the glitchesin the system.You cant upload PDFs so you

just have to pray your resume doesnt turninto Windings.After youve spent hours onthe phone making small talk with analysts atJPMorgan, proofread your resume untilyouve gone blind and ignored all your p-setsso that you can study DCF models for your

interview, the last thing you want to worryabout is if the CDC website screwed up yourapplication.

Second, there seems to be a determinedlack of resources with regard to preparationfor case and professional interviews. TheIvies,to their great benefit,hire and train pro-fessional interview coaches.Case in Point,the must-have guide for every wannabe con-sultant,was written by Harvard career coun-selor. Why couldnt it have been a Stanfordcounselor? Why are we always second-best?A greater investment in such professional re-sources would be a boon to the campus com-munity for both short- and long-term suc-

cesses.Finally, there are staff members at the

CDC who are kind and good-natured, butwe are concerned about some undergradu-ates perception that the atmosphere aroundthe center is less than convivial.We Stanfordstudents are historically known for needless-ly kvetching at times,but we urge the entirestaff to remember the emotionally chargedenvironment in which career planning playsout.

The road to finance and consulting is al-ready lonely,dark and deep.At the very least,the CDC should assist students in overcom-ing the already myriad hurdles that lie beforethem.

S PORTS

By CAROLINE CASELLIDESK EDITOR

Facing two of the conferencesstrongest teams,the Stanford womensvolleyball team (20-2,11-2 Pac-10) puton a pair of impressive shows atMaples Pavilion this weekend, deci-sively beating No.10 UCLA (17-7,7-6)on Friday and No.7 USC (20-4,9-4) onSunday.

The two crucial wins, combinedwith a loss by No.2 California (21-2,11-2) to the Trojans on Friday, leave theCardinal tied with the Golden Bearsfor first place in the Pac-10 standings.

On Friday,Stanford had a chance tosplit the series with UCLA, the firstteam to hand it a loss this season.

The Card came out firing, takingthe first point of the match with a killfrom senior outside hitter Alix Kline-man that was sent flying into the standsby a UCLA defender.Klineman main-

tained the intensity, putting an acedown the line a couple of points later.Three early blocks from the Stanfordfront line frustrated the Bruin offenseand extended the Cards lead to 5-1.

UCLA fought back, finding holesin the Stanford blocking line to putdown cross-court kills,tying the set at12-12.Points went back and forth,witheach team killing balls down the line.With the score knotted at 23-23, a killfrom Klineman and a UCLA attackinto the antenna narrowly sealed afirst-set victory for the Card,25-23.

Stanford put on a more dominantperformance in the second set, jump-ing out to an early 8-3 lead with strongattacks from senior setter CassidyLichtman and stellar blocking. AUCLA serve that hit the tape and felluntouched on the Stanford sidebrought the score within three at 16-13, but powerful hitting from Kline-man,Lichtman and sophomore oppo-site Hayley Spelman drove the Card to

a 25-16 victory in the set.The third set remained close from

start to finish the score was tied 11times, up to 24-24. However, a lateUCLA surge aided by strong blockingand smart attacking helped the Bruinsnarrowly take the third set,26-24.

A strong three-kill opening fromKlineman helped the Card to a 4-1start in the fourth set.Despite a mid-set injury to junior middle blockerStephanie Browne, Stanford main-tained its composure, expanding itslead to 17-11.The Bruins attempted acomeback, tying the set at 23-23, butthat proved to be the last serious chal-lenge they mounted. A Spelman killdown the line,followed by a beautifulpass from freshman defensive special-ist Mary Ellen Luck, a back set fromsophomore setter Karissa Cook and adecisive put-down by Lichtman closedthe set, 25-23, sealing the match forStanford.

Klineman led the match with 20kills,12 digs and two solo blocks.Seniorlibero Gabi Ailes was spectacular all

night,making pancake digs,one-hand-ed saves and diving overhand passes,leading the match defensively with 23digs.

For the Bruins, senior outside hit-ter Dicey McGraw put down 17 kills,and sophomore opposite RachaelKidder added another 12. Juniorlibero Lainey Gera led the Bruin de-fense with 17 digs.

On Sunday,Stanford took on USC,who was fresh off an upset victory overCal in Berkeley on Friday. However,the Women of Troy proved to be nomatch for the Card,which swept USC,25-19,25-21,25-19.

The first set opened evenly,with thetwo teams trading kills and attackingerrors.Cook and Lichtman both con-nected well with their hitters, whileKlineman and Spelman powered theStanford offense.The set remained in adeadlock until 13-13, but Stanfordbegan to pull away. Smart kills from

Lichtman, combined with unforcedUSC errors,led the Card to a 25-19 setvictory.

Two aces from freshman middleblocker Carly Wopat helped the Cardopen the second set with a 5-0 lead.TheTrojans rallied to tie the score at 11-11,but repeated attacking errors com-bined with Stanfords fierce blockingextended the Cards lead to 21-14.TheCardinal had several hitting errors anda missed serve late in the game,but didnot relinquish the lead,winning the set,25-21.

The third and final set opened witha Trojan hitting error, and Stanfordnever trailed. Spelman had five killsand Klineman added another four,andthe Card closed the match with a 25-19win.

Klineman had a match-high 15 killsand .433 hitting percentage in the vic-tory.The setters posted solid numbers,with 24 assists and six digs for Licht-man, and 16 assists and five digs from

Cook.Ailes led the match with 14 digs.For USC,junior outside hitter Alex

Jupiter and sophomore opposite KatieFuller had nine kills apiece,while jun-ior middle blocker Lauren Williamsand freshman outside hitter FalynFonoimoana each put down sevenkills. Junior setter Kendall Bateman

contributed 37 assists in the loss.Next weekend,the Card will travel

north to take on Washington State onFriday and No.11 Washington on Sat-urday.

The Powerof Stanford

football

DanielBohmOn My Mind

It was a fairly standard week here.The Stanford football teamplayed a huge game and wonyet Stanford stadium was embar-rassingly empty and The Old Pro

charged a 10-dollar cover on Saturdaynight.

I dont want to turn into a one-trickpony, so Im going to focus on an oft-underappreciated aspect of Stanfordssuccess this season: the play of the bigguys on both sides of the ball.When Stanford is talked about onthe national stage, the discussion tendsto be centered on Andrew Luck. Luckdeserves the accolades he is one of the best quarterbacks in the nationbut seldom are the hogs in front of himmentioned (aside from Owen Marecic,who gets plenty of press,too).

Stanford lost the best running backin the nation,Toby Gerhart,from lastyears squad,but has continued to pun-ish defenses with the run.The Cardinaloffense is averaging nearly 5.5 yardsper carry and Luck has been sackedonly three times all season.

Defenses get worn down by theCardinal offensive line to the pointwhere even when they know what iscoming and usually it is powerthere is nothing that can be done tostop it.

Id really like to know how manytimes Stanford ran power to the rightagainst Arizona this weekend.Wildcat

defenders are going to have night-mares for weeks of big 71, AndrewPhillips,pulling from his left guard spotand clearing out would-be tacklers likemere flies being swatted to the side.

And then there is the jumbo pack-age.Stanford should have a raffle everygame to guess what number JamesMcGillicuddy is going to wear. Thisweek it was 87,but despite wearing a re-ceivers jersey Saturday, the sixth-yearsenior is in the game for one reasonto block.Just ask Arizona safety JosephPerkins, whom McGillicuddy sent intoorbit on Stepfan Taylors fourth touch-down run in Saturdays victory.

As impressive as the offensive linehas been, the defensive line has beenequally strong.Stanfords defense waspredicted to be its weakness this sea-son, but instead it has proven to be astrength.The Cardinal has pitched tworoad shutouts in Pac-10 games,and justheld a very talented Arizona offense to17 points.Another question mark com-

ing into the year was depth along thedefensive line. Sione Fua, Brian Bul-cke, Matt Masifilo and Thomas Keiserhave put that notion to rest.

Much was made in the preseasonabout the hiring of Vic Fangio as defen-sive coordinator. Fangio brought Stan-ford which has historically had a 4-3defensive unit the 3-4 alignment.Inthe 3-4,it is the job of the defensive line-men to eat up blockers so linebackerscan run wild and make tackles. Stan-ford fans have become accustomed toseeing Shayne Skov and ChaseThomas flying around making tackles,and that is because the big boys upfront are clogging things up.

The toughest position in the 3-4 isnose tackle, where you are routinelydouble- and triple- teamed. That as-signment rests on Fua,who has playednothing short of brilliantly all season.Normally nose tackles dont rack upany noticeable statistics, but Fua hasfour sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss this

season, all while playing many moresnaps a game than most nose tackles.Stanford hasnt used the 3-4 exclu-

sively this year it goes to a four-manfront when in nickel or dime packages but no matter how many guys havetheir hands in the dirt, Stanfords de-fensive line has been quite impressive.

A successful defensive line is thesecondarys best friend.Pressure on thequarterback means inaccurate passesand receivers not having time to get outof their routes.At times this year Stan-fords secondary has, deservedly so,come under fire (just ask RobertWoods of USC). While the Cardinaldoes need to upgrade on the back end,improved defensive line play makesStanfords secondary at least passable(no pun intended).

It would be interesting to see whereLuck would be without such a stellaroffensive line and where the secondarywould be without such strong D-lineproduction.Would Luck be a Heismancandidate and a potential No.1 overallpick if he were getting sacked at a TrentEdwards-like rate? Sure, Luck is far

SIMON WARBY/The Stanford DailySophomore opposite Hayley Spelman (21) helped to power the Cardinal of-fense against the Los Angeles schools over the weekend. Spelman posted animpressive 23 kills over both matches.

REVENGE ON SOCAL

ranked in a number of defensive sta-tistical categories. Arizona was sev-enth nationally in scoring defense,10th in total defense and sixth inrushing defense and was recordingalmost 3.5 sacks per game. Stanfordnotched yardage marks well aboveArizonas season averages,especial-ly in the running game Cardinalrushers rolled up 217 yards against arun defense that had previously sur-rendered an average of 88.4 yardsper game. Sophomore running backStepfan Taylor,while held to a rela-tively low 82 yards, scored fourtouchdowns.

Stanford was able to move the ballagainst Arizona chiefly because itneutralized a Wildcat defensive linethat features two of the best defen-sive ends in the conference,Ricky El-more and Brooks Reed.The Stanfordoffensive line contained both playersall night, surrendering no sacks andgiving Luck plenty of time to allowhis receivers routes to develop andmake plays. Elmore and Reed eachhad just one tackle on the night.

I think our line took it pe rsonally,and they were excited about goingagainst the best ends in the confer-ence, Harbaugh said. Our guyswanted to prove something as well.More so than any other week, I thinkthey had a mindset of proving some-thing tonight.

In the receiving game,Owusu ledall receivers for both Stanford andArizona, hauling in nine catches for165 yards and a touchdown.

Chris had a wonderful evening,Harbaugh said.He had a big play toget our first points on the board. Hedid a double move,made it at about16 yards,and then got about 10 yardsof separation.

Owusu also made a diving catch topreserve a Stanford drive early in thefourth quarter. He dived forward togain a little separation from two Ari-zona defensive backs and kept hishands under the ball to preserve thecompletion.

That might be the best catch Iveever seen in person from the side-line,Harbaugh said.I thought thatwas an unbelievable catch.

While Stanfords offense movedeasily against an exposed Arizona de-fense, the Stanford defense contin-ued to play well. After a string of rough outings, the Card bouncedback last week, shutting out Washing-ton on the road.Facing an elite quar-terback in Foles,the Cardinal rose tothe challenge again, severely limitingthe Wildcat offense. Despite rollingup 428 yards,Arizona only mustered17 points.

Stanfords defense also playedwell in the clutch. Though Arizonalooked good on the stat sheet in piling

up yards, it went just 7-16 on third-down conversions and 1-3 on fourth-down conversions.The Cardinal de-fense also played well in the red zone the Wildcats only converted threeof five red zone opportunities. Stan-ford killed three Arizona drives withclutch plays one drive ended in aninterception by senior cornerbackRichard Sherman,one with a fourth-down pass deflection on the Stanfordfive-yard line by redshirt junior line-backer Thomas Keiser and one on anintentional grounding from Foles ashe was being sacked for a big loss bysophomore linebackers Shayne Skovand Chase Thomas.

Foles is a great quarterback,oneof the best quarterbacks in the na-tion,said junior safety Delano How-ell.It was great to play against one of the best.

Uncharacteristically, the second-ary led Stanford on the stat sheet.Howell and Sherman had 11 and 10tackles respectively, and MichaelThomas and senior safety TaylorSkaufel added six tackles apiece.

The win over Arizona vaulted theCardinal into the No. 6 spot in theBCS standings, up from No. 13 lastweek.The team is the second-highestranked one-loss team, behind No. 5LSU.

Stanford had the opportunity toimpress a large number of poll vot-ers during the primetime, nationallytelevised game.A BCS bowl game isno guarantee, however, even if theCardinal manages to win out. Thereare many scenarios that could seeStanford in the Rose Bowl,a differ-ent BCS bowl or a lesser bowl, likethe Alamo or Holiday Bowl.

Stanfords apparent lack of sig-nificant fan support could be an ob-stacle in earning an at-large BCSbowl berth. Barring two losses bycurrent Pac-10 leader Oregon,an at-large berth is the only way Stanfordcould get into the BCS. However,Stanford Stadium didnt fill up any-where near its capacity against Ari-zona. Significant chunks of theupper bowl were empty.

When asked about the lack of fansupport, Harbaugh said, All wewere really concerned about wascoming in here and getting a win.Well keep coaching and playing were not worried about anythingelse.

Harbaugh also addressed Stan-fords position in the polls.

Im not a guy who concerns him-self with polls and things like that,Harbaugh said. But, speaking onbehalf of my guys and Stanford foot-ball, this is a one-loss team thatsonly lost to the No.1 ranked team inthe country.Its probably about timethey got some recognition.

6/6

Despite Oregon States vaunteddefense the Beavers (15-3-1, 7-2-0) had only allowed seven goals allseason going into Friday nightsmatch it didnt take long for Stan-ford to open the scoring. On a third-minute barrage from the Cardinal of-fense, senior forward Christen Presstook a pass from sophomore RachelQuon on the right side of the box andpowered a low shot into the far leftcorner of the Beaver net,past the div-ing Oregon State keeper, ColleenBoyd.For Press, the national scoringleader, the goal marked her 22ndscore of the season.

The Beavers responded with in-creased pressure on the defensiveside,and in the 15th minute they werenearly able to level the score.Fresh-man forward Jenna Richardson, sec-ond on the Beavers in scoring, fired anearly point-blank shot toward theCardinal net, but freshman Stanfordkeeper Emily Oliver took the fullforce of the blast with her upper body,knocking the ball away.At the end of the half, the Beavers were outshoot-ing the Cardinal,6-5.

Oregon State continued to pres-sure heavily in the second frame,withOliver coming up huge on a few keysaves. On a free kick in the 51stminute, Courtney Wetzel sent a laserof a shot past the Stanford wall thatwould have blasted into the back of the net if not for a diving Oliver, wholeaped to her right to make a two-handed save with her body fully off the ground. Another missed chancefor the Beavers came in the 65thminute, when OSU scoring leaderChelsea Buckland fired a shot frominside the box that Oliver gobbled up.

For the Cardinal, a team that hasallowed just 10 goals all season, theendurance of the OSU pressure attimes posed a serious threat.

I think theyre a really hard-working,physical team,Press said of the Ducks.They put some pressureon us and I respect it a lot that theydidnt shut down.There was definite-ly a while there where it was 1-0 and itlooked like it was going to be 1-1 pret-ty soon.

No player felt that pressure morethan Oliver. In order to counter theBeaver offense and stay in focus,thefreshman keeper said she relied ontaking a leadership role on defense.

Its a lot about organizing for me,

Oliver said.Just to keep staying in thegame mentally and just keeping every-body where theyre supposed to behelps me stay in my position. Kind of

just through organizing them,that kindof helps me stay in tune mentally.

Stanford responded by openingup its passing game, and in the 71stminute Press was finally able to giveher team some insurance. Taking apass from sophomore midfielderMariah Nogueira while streaking inon the left side,Press charged througha trio of Beaver defenders and fired ashot from the top of the box,beat ingBoyd in the bottom right corner.Thegoal made it 2-0 in favor of the Card,and equalized the shooting for bothteams at 11. Stanford would hold onfor the shutout,the teams 10th of theseason.

It feels fantastic,head coach PaulRatcliffe said of the win. It was ahard-fought victory, and we reallyearned the Pac-10 title tonight.

After securing a share of the con-ference title against the Beavers, theCardinal went on the clinch the Pac-10 championship outright with a 3-0victory over Oregon (7-10-3,3-5-1) onSunday, the teams annual SeniorDay. The victory sealed Stanfords

second consecutive conference titleand undefeated season.

Prior to the game, Stanford hon-ored its graduating class goalkeep-er Kira Maker,forward Morgan Red-man, midfielder Allison McCann andPress with an on-field ceremony.Despite the wind and rain on Sundayafternoon, a sizeable crowd was pres-ent to congratulate the seniors andtheir families. All four of the seniorsstarted the game,with Maker playingall 90 minutes in goal.

The Cardinal opened the scoringearly, with junior forward CamilleLevin taking a pass from Redmanoutside the top of the box before con-trolling for a moment and blasting ashot inside the left post for her firstgoal of the season.About 90 secondslater, Quon rebounded a shot fromTeresa Noyola that had knocked off the crossbar by heading it directlyinto the right corner.It was the sopho-mores second goal of the year.

The Ducks increased their pres-sure in the second half,firing off fiveshots after getting just one in the first,but the Cardinal was still able to ex-tend its lead.Just over 16 minutes intothe frame, Noyola launched a freekick from 22 yards out that sailed di-

rectly into the left corner.The goal,her ninth this year,tied her with Lind-say Taylor for second place on theteam to Presss 23.

With its second consecutive con-ference title secure, Stanford is nowset to make its 13th straight appear-ance in the NCAA Tournament.Theselection show is scheduled for this af-ternoon, and will determine the Car-dinals seeding and first-round oppo-nent.
