WARF wins patent lawsuit against Apple

By Andrew BahlTHE DAILY CARDINAL

A proposal that would dra-matically alter the state’s campaign finance laws is being fast-tracked through the state Legislature, despite being termed by critics as a “deregulation” of the current system.

The changes come as part of a larger package of three bills to reform the state’s election sys-tem. Two of the more contentious proposals would split the state’s

election board into two partisan agencies, generating disagreement among legislators.

But a third measure, authored by Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, would significant-ly rewrite the state’s campaign finance system.

The bill would double limits on individual donations, which are currently $30,000 for gubernato-

rial candidates, and $3,000 and $1,500 to Senate and Assembly candidates, respectively. These current figures are more than the national average, accord-ing to a report from the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The measure would also allow for unlimited spending from political action committees to campaigns and allow donors to give unlimited amounts of money to campaign committees, which

can be passed along to candidates, reflecting a state Supreme Court decision last year.

“You are beautiful.”It’s a simple sentiment,

but one that the members of the UW-Madison chapter of the National Organization for Women don’t think we hear enough. As part of NOW’s Love Your Body campaign, UW NOW hosted Love Your Body Day and handed out mes-sages promoting body positiv-ity on East Campus Mall early Wednesday afternoon.

“It’s really unreal when peo-ple are so surprised when you tell them they’re beautiful,” co-founder of UW NOW Maddie Colbert said. “Especially on a campus this big, with so many people to compare yourself to and so much pressure to do so, it’s important to remain posi-tive about who you are.”

Junior Gabrielle DiBenedetto said receiving these messages can better campus life, espe-cially for students managing the transitions and pressures of college.

“It’s important for these things to happen on campus in an informal way because it catches students and makes them feel more connected to the campus community,” DiBenedetto said. “College can be tough and it’s really incred-ible that random people here would come up to me and make me feel great about myself.”

The Rape Crisis Center and Sex Out Loud included their own messages about self-accep-tance and how body positivity can support their own missions on campus that UW NOW mem-bers handed out at the event.

“We see many messages about how we should not love and accept our bodies. At Rape Crisis Center, we believe it is a radical act to love your body exactly the way it is,” the Rape Crisis Center’s message said. “We also see practicing enthu-siastic consent as a vital part of loving your own body and respecting others.”

Members of UW NOW said they were happy to see posi-tive reactions to their event and hoped that they created a space to allow people to express body positivity for themselves.

“People have been very receptive to our messages,” UW NOW member Morgan Olsen said. “I’ve noticed a bunch of older women commenting on how happy they are to see this, which I think shows it’s impor-tant to start body empowerment young so it can carry through-out people’s lives.”

The Associated Students of Madison Coordinating Council begins outlining the internal budget for the 2016 fiscal year.

Drop in biotech company stock price concerns mayor

ASM Coordinating Council plans 2016 internal budgetBy Madeline HeimTHE DAILY CARDINAL

The Associated Students of Madison Coordinating Council began discussion Wednesday on the organization’s operating budget for the 2016 fiscal year.

Each year, ASM makes deci-sions on the breakdown of uni-versity segregated fees, which are charged to students for services and programs aside from general instruction.

The budget covers a variety of costs such as ASM administrative functions, stipends for ASM facul-ty and staff and registered student organizations’ grants.

Wednesday’s meeting was the first of several upcoming bud-get discussions, and ASM Chair Madison Laning asked for input on what council members wanted to see represented in the budget.

Nominations Board Chair Matt Walczak explained a line item in which ASM provides support for students with disabilities.

This funding works to give financial support to students with disabilities who seek to participate in extracurricular events, according to ASM’s website.

Laning described how the McBurney Disability Resource Center will provide a service, such as finding an interpreter, for a stu-dent and then reach out to ASM for

cost reimbursement of that service. Walczak said it is crucial to

allow these students to be included in such events.

“It’s really important that they’re able to participate in student life as equally as students with non-disabilities,” Walczak said.

Laning echoed the importance of inclusion for students with dis-abilities in extracurricular events.

“We’re funding these events,” Laning said. “So we should be funding a way for all students to go to them.”

The council also discussed whether it would keep its member-ship with the United States Student Association, a national organiza-tion that promotes education and advocacy for issues impacting stu-dents, according to its website.

ASM Vice Chair Kyla Kaplan said that if the council does ter-minate its USSA membership, it should focus instead on promot-ing campus conversations that will address school-wide issues before national issues.

ASM Secretary Al Schultz added that the council’s money could be best spent on improv-ing the lives and welfare of UW-Madison students.

“We have a duty to our student body, the people we represent, more than we have a duty to any national student body,” Schultz said.

The future of Madison-based biotechnology company Exact Sciences Corporation is less cer-tain after a major drop in the com-pany’s stock value last week.

The drop caused concern for the public investment made into the recently approved Judge Doyle Square project, a $200 million devel-opment which includes a corporate headquarters for Exact Sciences.

The company’s main product, Cologuard, was not included on the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force’s list of recommended screen-ing tests for cancer, causing the plummet in Exact Sciences’ shares.

Madison Mayor Paul Soglin ques-tioned Exact Sciences’ potential for success in a letter sent to the compa-ny’s principal and CEO Wednesday.

In the letter, the mayor request-ed that Exact Sciences respond by Oct. 28 to a series of questions posed by the Common Council.

“It was premature to come to any conclusions regarding Exact Sciences,” he wrote. “In the next month the City would get better information on the long term con-sequences of that announcement.”

The company focuses on detec-tion of colon cancer and manufac-tures Cologuard, “the first nonin-vasive screening test for colorectal cancer that analyzes both stool DNA and blood biomarkers,” according to its website.

The Common Council approved a proposal to build the corporate headquarters as part of the Judge Doyle Square project Sept. 30.

However, the steep drop in shares—more than 45 percent—alludes to the company’s potential to be less profitable than previ-ously thought.

The company’s CEO Kevin Conroy testified before Common Council voted on the Judge Doyle Square leg-islation, praising Cologuard.

“We’re really only one of the only companies dedicated to [early detection],” he said at the meet-ing. “Cologuard is a major break-through. There is no test like it even close to the performance level.”

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, co-authored a proposal to increase campaign donation limits.

provision that would allow can-didates to coordinate with inter-est groups to keep donors a secret as long as the group focuses on issues and doesn’t use words such as “vote for” or “elect.”

“This is a loophole big enough to drive a Mack Truck through,” McCabe said. “This legislation

cements it in place. Lawmakers don’t have to leave that loophole open so anonymous money from billionaires and corporations can flow in without detection.”

Republican leaders have indicated the bill is being fast-tracked with the rest of the Government Accountability Board reforms and could be voted on as early as next week.

will focus on the monetary dam-ages the WARF could receive from Apple. U.S. District Judge William Conley said Apple could face up

to $862 million in damages for using the technology developed by WARF, according to a Tuesday article by Reuters.

WARF Director of Strategic Communications Jeanan Yasiri Moe said the foundation is unable to comment on ongoing litigations.

“You are beautiful.”

One owner, Patti Coffey, is “glad [the city is] going to try to [take] a more cooperative approach.”

However, even if developments do not ultimately utilize eminent domain, she maintains concerns.

Coffey said she believes the recent proceedings follow a pat-tern of “gentrification” in areas of university housing.

“Not everyone wants to live in a complex, or can afford to live in a complex,” she said.

Having lived in the Mifflin Street area as an undergraduate, she said that “gentrification is something that university students should pay attention to.”

Verveer, who also lived in the Mifflin Street neighborhood dur-ing college, said he harbors “strong affections for the neighborhood.”

“I frankly am trying to strike a happy medium between the pressures of new development and trying to keep the old char-acter, which I personally cher-ish, of the neighborhood in tact,” he said.

Bronze Radio Return focuses on love of musicBy Michael FrettThe Daily CarDinal

To some, music is a mission, with each chord dripping in politics and each bar directed at some critic’s praise or curse. I’ve been one of those critics for a few years now, an accessory to those ideas that music needs some kind of inherent poli-tics or grand, meta concept. It’s a conversation worth having, but it betrays what made so many of us fall in love with music in the first place: the excitement of a stomping beat, clapping your hands and the smile of a warm melody.

Bronze Radio Return is the kind of band that embraces this feeling. It’s not that their music never looks inward for some deeper idea or that they don’t challenge themselves as artists. In fact, each album ultimately sees the New Englanders playing with some new texture or experi-menting with a new sound. But they never lose sight of music’s simpler joys, of a folk stomper’s revelry or the communal joy of a sing-a-long.

I had a chance to talk with Bronze Radio Return’s front man, the always smiling Chris Henderson, about his band’s upcoming show at the Frequency this Sunday and his music in general. While we drifted between everything from new albums and songwriting to Ryan Adams, every-thing eventually came back to that excitement behind music; the kind that inspires bands to hit the road

and urges audiences to dance.“We all had a compassion about

music and wanted to be involved in a band that hopefully someday traveled and got to go out and be a part of this adventure,” Henderson said of his band’s younger days. “[We thought,] ‘Let’s see if we can put together this thing, making music that we feel pas-sionate about and go out and have fun doing it … Wouldn’t it be crazy if we could just play in a band and drive around the country?’”

That sense of passion has guided Bronze Radio Return since 2007, sending them on a journey span-ning four albums and an EP that’s led them across the country. It’s that same journey that’s brought their music through the festival circuit, sent them through smaller dives and bigger stages with the likes of John Mayer and Michael Franti, and even scored them a gig for none other than President Obama himself.

That adventure is what led Bronze Radio Return to Light Me Up, a new album coming out this Friday on DigSin. While the album sees the band playing with an increasingly poppier production, with less banjo and more beat, it never really loses the sense of excitement that the band set out with years ago.

“I hope people react to it with smiles, stomping feet and clapping hands. I think it’s going to be good music,” Henderson said of the new album. “It’s going to be fun and I

think it’s going to lend itself to a high-energy live show.”

Henderson and company have always played around with music’s joys, making listeners live in the moment as the beat stomps and the banjos dance. Bronze Radio Return staples like “Light Me Up,” the lead single from their new album, and the not-so-subtle “Shake, Shake, Shake” are dedicated to those live shows.

That light spirit has made Bronze Radio Return a television regular; their songs pop up whenever there’s a need for some revelry, whether it’s an “American Idol” montage or a Bill Murray romp.

“I never expected to have anything lined up in a Bill Murray movie,” Henderson laughed after hearing Bronze Radio Return’s “Further On” in last year’s dramedy “St. Vincent.”

Bronze Radio Return’s stand at the Frequency comes on the heels of Light Me Up’s Americana-inflected pop tunes. While there’s bound to be plenty of new songs, Henderson is looking forward to adding new spins to old favorites and, ultimate-ly, just having a good time with the new setlists.

“We like going out and trying to excite a room,” Henderson said at the end of our conversation. “We’re excit-ed to have new music. It’ll be a new set of songs, with different approach-es on some of the older songs we play. It kind of feels like a fresh start on this next leg of our adventure.”

RecoRd Routine

Protomartyr releases average new album

By Paul BlazevichThe Daily CarDinal

With strong guitars and per-cussion reminiscent of The National, Detroit’s post-punk aficionados, Protomartyr, pres-ent the listener with a 44-minute project titled The Agent Intellect. Although difficult to digest at times, The Agent Intellect con-tains rewarding moments that delve into the deeper, more emo-tional side of punk rock.

Lead singer Joe Casey dis-plays a vocal style that radiates

an influence by the history of punk, especially heard on tracks “Clandestine Time” and “Boyce or Boice.” Casey’s verses remind one of a mix between spoken word poetry and David Bowie melan-choly. “Cowards Starve” and “I Forgive You,” the second and third tracks on The Agent Intellect, are perfect examples of this whining expression of frustration.

Guitarist Greg Ahee embraces the angst of punk and continually barrages the listener with heavy, minor chords and riffs. Not all tracks on this album are downers, though, as the major key of “The Devil in His Youth,” the opening track, differs from the punk trend of slipping into the darkness.

Experimentalism is profound in several areas of Protomartyr’s approach on their third studio album. Airy, barely audible vocal samples that sound like they were ripped from an ancient space-

ship, tracks that contain several different songs and spaces that are void of sound are abound on The Agent Intellect.

While not approaching the for-ward thinking of groundbreak-ing bands such as Deafheaven or Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Protomartyr nonetheless incor-porate several of the creative and abstract concepts that are becom-ing more popular in rock and metal today. With almost every song flowing seamlessly into the next, Protomartyr’s production on The Agent Intellect is quite possibly the most impressive and lasting feature of the album.

My own ear tells me this album is average—just another rock album. The ears that have been following Protomartyr and other punk bands for years would likely give this album a raving review.

Grade: C+

Bo Ryan’s stunt double sick of taking pictures with excited fansBy Dylan AndersonTHE DAILY CARDINAL

Jack Doherty, stunt double for UW basketball coach Bo Ryan, has reportedly grown sick and tired of posing for pictures with Badger fans.

He originally enjoyed his posi-tion but has since felt it to be more of a burden than a boon, particu-larly the photo op aspect of the job.

“I really don’t mind all of the basketball-related stuff,” Doherty said. “I just can’t stand when people ask me for pictures everywhere I go. Especially when I’m off the clock.”

Doherty was hired in 2004 to handle some of the off-the-court duties for a tremendously busy and aging Ryan. He origi-nally only shot commercials and signed autographs, but has seen his role expand to a 60-hour-per-week gig that includes tasks ranging from waking up the play-ers for class to even conducting postgame press conferences.

“The worst part is, no one knows it’s actually me instead of Bo. Even the players don’t know,” Doherty confessed to Daily Cardinal reporters. “I’ve been working hard to mimic Bo’s appearance and precisely emu-late his mannerisms for over a decade and I continually get no

recognition for it.”Doherty says the last three

years have been the worst ones yet.“I used to get only five to

10 photo requests per week,” he said. “But since the Badgers made consecutive Final Fours I get at least 20 on any given day.”

Shooting Down Cancer has been a particularly dreaded day on the calendar in recent years for Doherty.

“Keeping a smile on my face for the full three-hour event and shaking so many sick students’ hands is an absolute nightmare,” Doherty said. “In 2013, [UW athletic director] Barry Alvarez even asked me to pay Bo’s dona-tion for him, but that’s where I drew the line.”

Doherty reported that he is eagerly awaiting Ryan’s impend-ing retirement. “Just like Bo, I have a family of my own and I’d like to spend more time with them,” he said. “I would have quit a year ago but while Bo is still coaching the athletic department pays me quite handsomely and we can really use the money.”

Doherty even divulged some of the more unusual require-ments of the job.

“Taking Bo’s wife Kelly on dates is kind of a drag,” Doherty said. “But I actually like all of his grand-children. They are really cute.”

Disturbing images reveal UW student openly smoking between classesBy Hossein RostamTHE DAILY CARDINAL

This week, images posted on a popular social network have exposed a UW student who was openly lighting a cigarette in broad daylight and smoking it on purpose. The student did not appear to be intoxicated as he stood in plain sight outside the third floor of Van Hise.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes. At first I thought his face was burn-

ing,” claims the source who took the photos, “but when I realized what it was, I just had to take a picture. It was just like seeing Bigfoot in the wild. But, not in the wild. On campus. And not Bigfoot, a guy smoking.”

The student was indeed smok-ing cigarettes, commonly called “cancer sticks,” as opposed to the healthier and more socially accept-able marijuana, or “ganja,” sources confirmed. Sophomore eyewit-

ness Rob Goodi claims the stu-dent seemed to be immune to judg-mental glances from both peers and superiors, stubbornly puffing away undeterred. “Dude was hard-core,” he explained as he sucked on his vaporizer. “I would never put anything like that into my body.”

The images come at a time of increased anxiety surround-ing anything known to increase bowel movements and cause cer-tain death. Just last week there

was a report of a student who narrowly survived contact with secondhand smoke. “I thought I got some in,” tells the victim Dan Hooley, “so my friends rushed me to the hospital. On the way we tried to flush it out with beer, before they pumped me out in the emergency room. Then we did some shots to celebrate.”

Counseling services have been provided for anyone coping with exposure to cigarette smoke.

V iolence between Israelis and Palestinians has once again broken out near Jerusalem’s

Damascus Gate Plaza. Wednesday, police shot and killed a man dressed in combat fatigues who was wielding a knife. Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri stated in a report that the incident began when police saw the combatant and believed he looked nervous and suspicious. The officers’ dispatch revealed that the man alleg-edly lunged at them with the knife and then ran. Another police unit in the plaza saw the incident and shot him fatally. The man was identified as Basel Sider, a 19-year-old with no prior criminal record.

This incident is just the latest violent episode near the gates of the Old City. Israeli police also killed two Palestinians who stabbed officers on Saturday, and earlier on Wednesday a 70-year-old woman was stabbed near Jerusalem’s central bus station. Once again, the attacker was shot by police. No further information on the condi-tion of the attacker or the woman has been released by Israeli authorities.

In response to these outbreaks

of violence, the Israeli govern-ment has authorized military and police forces to shut down access to certain neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. These authorities have set up checkpoints to pass from one part of the city to the other, and placed more active police officers on the streets. When asked about these new policies, Samri stated that these “actions and operations are intended to fairly respond to the wave of terror and knifing” and that the Israeli authorities are simply trying to “return law and order to all citizens of the state.” It should be noted that these moves came a day after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he would travel to the Middle East to help cool down the conflict.

Shortly after Kerry’s announce-ment, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to make his country more secure. In a speech, he proclaimed that “we [the Israeli government] decide on a series of vigorous steps in our fight against terrorism,” and that these steps “will be implemented as quickly as possible.”

These steps to making Israeli

safer are rather intense. In addition to closing off Palestinian neighbor-hoods, the military will back the Israeli police force. An additional 300 security guards will be recruited to protect citizens on public transporta-tion, as several attacks have occurred on buses or at bus stops in the recent days. Also, the prime minister’s office announced last weekend that 1,600 reserve border police have been mobilized in Jerusalem. The final and most extreme measure being enacted by Israeli authorities is that security forces can now demolish homes of attackers if the Israeli Supreme Court sees it fit to do so.

Such acute measures by the Israeli government make me wonder if they have gone too far in sacri-ficing Palestinia liberties for Israeli security. I can only imagine walking the streets of Jersualem to be akin to that of a police state. This is some-thing that no nation which identifies as being democratic should allow to happen. I’m fully aware of the awful violence in the region. It has been occurring for thousands of years. I am also aware of the horrible acts of murder that have occurred in the last two weeks. However, I believe

that the solution to these “terrorist” attacks is not further threats of vio-lence, but the opening of a dialogue that seeks to negotiate peace.

The Palestinian people have been ready to negotiate peace with Israel for decades, and the Israelis have never seriously considered it. I believe that it is time they start, for if they do not, many Palestinians, such as a group of young adults in Hebron, have stated that after years of failed negotiations, “now we will fight.” Systematically disenfranchised Palestinians have silently put up with abuses from the Israeli government for decades, and there seems to be no end in sight. The marginalization of Palestinians in occupied territory leaves very few options in terms of resistance, and where there is a lack of human rights,

violent extremism thrives. With the ongoing Syrian Civil War, and the constant war against terrorist groups like ISIL, the world does not need another full-scale military struggle in the Middle East.

The terms of said negotiations do not need to be extreme; they simply must ease the tensions between the two sides. Restrictions from the Israelis on the people of Palestine’s access to certain parts of the city could be reduced. The border fences separating the two nations in Jerusalem could be manned by both sides, working together. Allowing police to fatally shoot any person they believe is a “threat” to security should be stopped. If all of these things occur, perhaps the violence in such a holy city can be reduced. It certainly is a tall task, especially between two nations that possess differ-ent and rival world religions. But they must start somewhere, for the recent stabbings, shootings and other outbreaks of violence in the region cannot continue.

Has the Israeli government gone too far?JACK KELLYOpinion Columnist

Webb’s comments reignite veteran mental health debates

L ast night at the first Democratic debate, we had an opportunity to see what

the potential nominees for the Democratic Party’s presidential can-didacy were good for, and what their weak points were. Lincoln Chafee, the former governor of Rhode Island,

was immediately outed for his spotty party affiliations and records, and was even grilled by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer later on when he planned on ending his “futile” presidential bid. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton each caught flak for their actions, statements and past voting records, but came out without signif-icant damage. Slow-talking Martin

O’Malley had the heat turned up on him for his emotional appeals and lack of serious answers regard-ing the delicate state of Baltimore due to recent civil unrest. However, former Sen. Jim Webb suffered less for his unique stances and speaking style at the hands of debators than he did later at the hands of social media users.

If you were asleep during the debate or very poor at perceiv-ing the obvious, Webb mentioned his military service as a Marine Corps officer several times, including when he not-so-slyly alluded to the time he killed an enemy combatant that wounded him in Vietnam. Webb’s perceived nonchalance toward his experi-ence in combat and other military mannerisms stuck out like a sore thumb among the generally lib-eral air on the debate stage, and it set social media websites such as Twitter ablaze with jokes and jab centered around Webb acting out some kind of deranged, off-the-rails Rambo fantasy against the people of Southeast Asia. However, these jokes are not only offensive to veterans, but also couldn’t be farther from the truth.

While such jokes at Webb’s expense are (hopefully) in good fun, there is a deeper issue that begs dis-cussion about the public’s perception of veterans, in particular regarding issues of mental health, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Vietnam-era anti-war sentiments levelled at everyone viewed as com-plicit in the military-industrial com-plex, including your average draftee, resulted in a critical lack of atten-tion and care to our veterans, which led to a sense of disenfranchisement from the system among veterans. In addition to the social stigmas against accepting psychological help due to the untested and budding nature of the field, these factors led to service-members’ mental health issues run-ning amok, breeding the stereotype of the “crazy” Vietnam veteran.

Today, our veterans are treated with a much higher level of dignity and respect, with improving access to veterans’ health care a major domestic policy concern. Despite a stance of acceptance from both the government and cultural norms, far too often are veterans, especial-ly those involved in combat arms, silently viewed as damaged goods set to explode at any second.

People expect these veterans to be one wrong comment or firework away from being sent into a traumat-ic episode or flashback full of scream-ing and violence. If I was still igno-rant on the topic of common mental health issues in the community of veterans, I likely would have drank the deadly media Kool-Aid. However, the worst thing you can do to the roughly 22 million veterans and over two million current servicemembers is pigeonhole them into a certain ste-reotype. Every veteran’s story is dif-ferent, and treating them with some arbitrary level of tender treatment is a misguided yet unnecessary act.

Regardless of your politics, vet-erans are some of the most well-trained and disciplined members of society, and should not be stigma-tized due to outdated and ridicu-lously false stereotypes. Webb has served his country bravely on the battlefield and honorably as secre-tary of the Navy. To crucify him for an out-of-context joke is to diminish not only his service, but his status as a human being. I don’t ask you to kiss the ground veterans walk on, just for common decency.

Women’s Hockey

By Ryan WeinkaufThe Daily CarDinal

After an easy sweep of Ohio State last weekend, the No. 2 Badgers (2-0 WCHA, 5-0 overall) travel to St. Cloud State (0-2, 2-2), where they will look to continue their conference dominance early in the season.

The early-season road trip will present different challenges for the team though, according to junior for-ward Sarah Nurse.

“Whenever we are on a road trip, it’s a different atmosphere,” Nurse said. “We don’t have our fans obvi-ously, who help us a lot, so we just have to get everything down again so I think that’s the big difference.”

St. Cloud State started the season strong with a sweep of Merrimack, scoring a combined 12 goals over two games. But last weekend they sim-ply had no answer for Minnesota, losing to the Golden Gophers 7-0 and 11-0. St. Cloud State is expected to be one of the weaker teams in the strong WCHA this year, so the Badgers should have another easier series to prepare for when the sched-ule strengthens down the road.

However, the team isn’t going to be taking this series lightly at all.

“We all know they got killed last weekend, but we are going to ignore that and just go into the first period and dominate and play our game,” junior defender Jenny Ryan said. “You never really know what is going to happen, so we are just going to try to focus on our game and not theirs.”

No player has emerged as a main offensive threat for the Huskies, as only one player has more than one goal so far in defender Lexi Slattery, who leads the team with two goals and four assists.

Opponent power plays have been a weakness for St. Cloud State this year, as it has allowed goals on 10-of-14 opponent opportunities. The Badgers, who have scored on 33 per-cent of their own power plays, could look to take advantage of this during this weekend’s series.

“We’ve been working on special teams this week and with the bigger ice surface we will definitely [be] try-ing to take advantage of that,” sopho-more Emily Clark said.

Wisconsin, on the other hand, has been stellar defensively, allowing only two goals through four games, and have only allowed one goal in 14 opponent power plays.

Ryan believes the experience Wisconsin has defensively is why it has been so strong to start the year.

“We only have one freshman on defense so we have all been playing together for a lot of years, so we all kind of know what the others are doing,” Ryan said. “And we’ve got [Ann-Renée Desbiens] back there, which is a big part of our defense because we are all really comfortable with her.”

Wisconsin has been equally dom-inant on the offensive end, as it has already scored 28 goals in its first four games. The Badgers’ stars are once again earning national recognition, as sophomore Annie Pankowski is tied for the leading scorer in the country, and last week Clark was named WCHA Co-Offensive Player of the Week.

Clark attributes her early success to her teammates on the first line and also the experience she has gained from last year.

“I think my line is working really well and has great chemistry, and I think just having a year under my belt has helped a lot going into this year,” Clark said.

But the Badgers have also shown they are a deep team as well, as every player on the roster has already reg-istered a point. Wisconsin’s second line has been as deadly as the first, led by juniors Sydney McKibbon and Nurse, who are tied with Clark for second on the team in points.

“I think we have been moving the puck really well,” Nurse said. “Me and Syd have played together for a few years, and adding Sam [Cogan] to that, she is a good com-plement and has been doing really well for us.”

That combination of top-level talent and strong depth is not eas-ily achieved, and should prove to be a deadly combination this sea-son for Wisconsin.

“Our depth is really important. A lot of teams might have one or two really good lines, but we have four that can be put into any situation for us,” Nurse said.

The Badgers are the heavy favor-ites in this series, and history backs up that claim. Wisconsin has lost to the Huskies just once this decade, and has a strong history of knocking SCSU out of the WCHA Playoffs, beating it in the first round twice in the past 5 years.

Nevertheless, going on the road is never easy and the Badgers will need to avoid any slipups in order to stay on top of the conference standings.

Both Friday’s and Saturday’s games are scheduled to start at 3 p.m.

Barlow supplies late-game heroics in his hometown, powers Badgers to victoryBy Jason BravermanThe Daily CarDinal

Although Wisconsin started a three-game road trip Wednesday night, one Badger felt right at home. Early into the second overtime period, sophomore forward and St. Louis native Tom Barlow sent in the game-winner for Wisconsin (1-1-2 Big Ten, 3-8-2 overall) against the St. Louis Bilikens (0-1-2 Atlantic 10, 4-5-2 overall).

The two sides played to a scoreless first half, but it was the Bilikens who were able to get on the scoreboard first. Just four minutes into the sec-ond half, senior defender Filip

Pavisic took a free kick from 22 yards out that beat the keeper to take a 1-0 lead.

With less than 15 minutes to go, sophomore midfielder Christopher Mueller, who leads the Badgers in goals and points with four and 11, respectively, knocked in the equalizer. Neither side was able to regain the edge in the final minutes of regula-tion time, sending the Badgers to their second consecutive overtime match and the Bilikens to their fifth straight.

After a scoreless first extra period, Wisconsin was set up with a corner kick in the 105th minute. Mueller was able to

direct it toward the box, where Barlow was waiting to head it past the near post for the game winner, giving the Badgers the decisive 2-1 advantage.

Despite carrying a record of 0-6-1 at home, the Badgers have been able to find success away from Madison, standing at 3-2-1 on the road including a four-game streak of gaining at least one point.

The Badgers will have the chance to continue their road triumphs, traveling to Columbus to take on Ohio State on Sunday before playing in-state rival Milwaukee next Wednesday.

the same kind of mindset and attack mode going at it.”

When Schobert and Biegel are “going at it,” it makes it very difficult for opposing quarterbacks. They’re hurried, under pressure, and never able to get comfortable, and this is what Purdue’s quarterbacks have had to deal with all season. It started with redshirt junior Austin Appleby, who was later benched for redshirt freshman David Blough.

Appleby’s benching was a result of his turnovers, having thrown six interceptions over the first three games. Then Blough took over, and he’s already thrown five in his three games. The redshirt freshman has already been sacked 10 times, though, and that pressure has clear-ly affected his performances.

It hasn’t been all bad from Blough. It’s hard to blame the quar-terback too much, and Aranda knows the younger quarterback is doing his best with what he’s got.

“He’s got a great instinct in the pocket to run the ball,” Aranda said. “I think there’s a savviness to him. He’s been impressive with what he has had to work with.”

One of the few bright areas that Blough has had on his side is his young running back duo, led by sophomore D.J. Knox with freshman Markell Jones behind him. Knox has been more of the workhorse, but with the strug-gling offensive line, he hasn’t been able to maintain consistency. Jones has provided a great change of pace, leading all freshmen run-ning backs in the country with 6.2 yards per carry.

“I think the two tailbacks they have are good players,” Aranda said. “I think they’re probably the most skillful guys on that offense.”

It all comes back to the Boilermaker offensive line. With poor protection, their offense stalls, putting the onus on their defense that isn’t able to hold up. Then they get behind on the score-board, their offense can’t catch up and they end up 1-5 heading into Camp Randall.

Wisconsin is a 24-point favor-ite in this game, despite coming off of two straight shaky Big Ten games. They say winning cures all, and a very favorable matchup against Purdue might be just what the doctor ordered for the Badgers.

Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.

UW welcomes struggling Purdueby lorin Coxthe daily cardinal

This Sunday will mark the 12-year anniversary of the last time Purdue (0-2 Big Ten, 1-5 overall) beat Wisconsin (1-1, 4-2). It isn’t easy to find many people who think that streak will end when the two teams play Saturday.

The Boilermakers’ season has been a bit of a mess, as their only win came Week 2 against the Indiana State Sycamores, and despite giving Michigan State a scare in their fifth game, their 13-41 loss to Minnesota last week was a microcosm of their

season as a whole.Many of Purdue’s issues have

started with its offensive line. They can’t get good pass protection, par-ticularly at the tackle positions, which doesn’t bode well for them as they go against the Badgers’ premier pass rushers.

“You definitely look at the weak-nesses and focal points you can take advantage of on any offensive line,” redshirt junior outside linebacker Vince Biegel said. “Purdue has some strengths up front, and they have some weaknesses, and that’s what we’re going to attack.”

One way that Wisconsin defen-sive coordinator Dave Aranda has attacked offensive lines is by lining up Biegel and redshirt senior outside linebacker Joe Schobert on the same side of the defense, forcing oppos-ing offenses to shift their protection to one side, opening up one-on-one opportunities on the other.

“When me and Schobert are on the same side, it definitely draws some attention to us,” Biegel said. “It’s fun to pass rush with your buddy and have two guys who have

In a back and forth thriller, No. 15 Wisconsin (4-3 Big Ten, 12-5 overall) fell in five sets to No. 11 Minnesota (6-2, 14-3), 25-11, 24-26, 16-25, 26-24, 11-15 Wednesday at the UW Field House.

“It was one heck of a game,” head coach Kelly Sheffield said. “Both teams embraced the battle. It’s defi-nitely the best we have fought this year and I was pleased we had a positive mentality and that we were able to rally to play a fifth game.”

Defense played a huge factor in the game, as the two teams combined for 27 blocks and 167 digs. Both teams struggled offensively, as UW hit .155 percent and had 63 kills and 34 errors while Minnesota hit .147 percent and had 56 kills and 28 attack errors. The

Badgers won the first set easily, 25-11, with sophomore Kelli Bates record-ing five kills, and she went on to lead UW with 17 for the match. However, the Gophers woke up in the second set and squeezed out a 26-24 win.

In the third set, the Gophers dominated, winning 25-16 with star senior outside hitter Daly Santana recording seven kills in

the set. UW rallied as junior setter Lauren Carlini recorded four kills to give UW the win in the fourth set. Carlini recorded another kill in the fifth set to cut Minnesota’s lead to 13-11, but the Badgers would not get any closer as they dropped the next two points to lose 11-15.

After UW held Santana without a kill in the first set, she tallied six in the second set and would go on to record a match-high 20 kills despite only hitting .162 percent for the game.

“I think we did a pretty good job defensively holding her to .162 for the game,” Sheffield said. “What makes her really good is that she hits the entire court and she doesn’t hit the same shot twice in a row, which makes it really hard for us defensively. You really have to battle when you go up against a

player like that.”Not only did Santana keep UW

guessing every time she hit the ball, she also moved very quickly, which was also a big challenge for the Badgers.

“When defending Santana, the pace is so quick that you have such a short amount of time to read the play,” said senior libero Taylor Morey. “She’s a great player but we’re going to approach her the same way we do with all the other players in the Big Ten so we can be successful against them.”

Even though UW got out in front early, they had a feeling it was going to be a battle most of the night.

“There’s no way we were going to keep playing as well as we did against an elite defensive team like

that,” Sheffield said. “However, we really struggled in game three and had 11 attack errors so you know we can play better than that. Momentum can really change a lot in this game and that’s what happened tonight.”

Despite the loss, the fact that the Badgers rallied from a 2-1 deficit wall gives them more confidence that they can play well when their backs are against the wall.

“When you’re put in a situation where you’re behind and you need to embrace it and play well is something we can get better at,” junior setter Lauren Carlini said. “We just need to keep being put in these situations so we know how to handle them.”

Round two of the border bat-tle against the Gophers will be Saturday in Minneapolis, Minn. at the Sports Pavilion at 8 p.m.

Boston road trip serves as valuable opportunityby eric Shorthe daily cardinal

Anxious to keep the puck sliding, the Badgers will travel to Massachusetts this week where they will face a talented pair of Boston squads.

Friday, Wisconsin (0-0-2) will look to silence Boston College’s (1-1-0) potent offense, and Saturday’s matchup against Boston University (0-1-0) will feature two of the most storied programs in NCAA history.

Combined, UW and BU cher-ish 11 total national champion-ships, with six of them belonging to Wisconsin.

However, having forced ties in its first two games, the Badgers will first focus their attention to the Eagles Friday.

Boston College starts and ends with sophomore forward Alex Tuch. Over his first two games, Tuch has netted three goals on six shots to go along with a blocked shot. Last season, Tuch appeared in all but one game for the Eagles and helped lead them to the NCAA tournament. He was the first BC player in 42 years to lead the team in points as a freshman. If the

Badgers hope to pull out a win Friday night, they must look to contain the breakout sophomore.

Tuch is not the only name like-ly to be highlighted in Wisconsin’s game plan. Freshman forward Miles Wood has more than turned heads throughout his early collegiate career. Like Tuch, Wood has posted three points through his first two games on two goals and an assist.

Despite having its hands full with the Eagles, the Badgers will have to quickly prepare for the Terriers, a high-octane offensive squad, Saturday.

BU is coming off of a disappoint-ing 5-3 loss to Union and will look to flood inexperienced Badgers goalie Adam Miller with a firestorm of shots. Upperclassmen Matt Lane and Doyle Somerby will undoubt-edly be in middle of the action Saturday night. Together, the two of them combined for three points in the loss to Union.

The week poses a great opportunity for Wisconsin to see how it stacks up against premier competition. The Badgers face off Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m.football page 7
