Grad earns Bronze Star

Disaster Recovery Center opens

2010 alumnus receives award for service in Iraq By Whitney.Sager iowastatedaily.com

A Disaster Recovery Center will open Tuesday morning in Ames. Story County’s DRC is the seventh to open in the state, according to a Federal Emergency Management Agency news release. Other DRCs in Iowa can be found in Delaware, Hamilton, Jasper, Mahaska, Polk and Wright counties. The DRC can be found at 1615 Golden Aspen Drive Suite 108. The center will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Excellent leader. Very outgoing. Humble. Talented. Military leaders use these words to describe the traits displayed by Tyler Bauman, second lieutenant in the Army Reserve and 2010 ISU alumnus. It was because of these traits that Bauman was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his service in Iraq. The Bronze Star Medal, the fourthhighest U.S. Army award, is awarded to any person in the U.S. Army who has shown “heroic or meritorious achievement or service” while engaged in military actions against an opposing armed force, according to the U.S. Army Individual Decorations website. On Bauman’s second tour of duty overseas, a mission for which he volunteered, he showcased the actions required to deem himself worthy of the distinguished award. During the mission, Bauman was in charge of driving a heavily armored truck equipped with machine guns. He and his unit drove around, making a presence so people were discouraged from causing trouble. “On our first mission, we were hit by a suicide bomber,” Bauman said. Rather than backing down, Bauman said he and his unit kept going. Due to his actions and the leadership he showcased during the special mission, Bauman was awarded the medal for his meritorious actions. Benefits of service Bauman said his service in the Army has helped him grow as an individual, both in and out of the classroom. Before joining the Army, Bauman said he struggled with self-confidence and maturity levels. The leadership positions he held have helped him improve those areas. Joel Soenksen, adjunct assistant professor of military science and tactics, said one of Bauman’s responsibilities in the ROTC was serving as a mentor for younger ROTC soldiers. Soenksen said Bauman helped the younger soldiers determine what classes to take and how to have proper military presence. “He was very well thought of by his peers,” Soenksen said. During the summer before Bauman’s senior year in college, he and other

Professor reflects on design career By Frances.Myers iowastatedaily.com Mark Engelbrecht, professor of architecture and dean emeritus of the College of Design, is a man of utmost intelligence when it comes to architectural design. Engelbrecht

What interested you in architecture to begin with? I started out majoring in aeronautics, but two of my roommates were architectural design students. I learned a lot about the major through them, and what they were learning interested me far more than aeronautical equations did.

It’s not so much style as you must be sensitive to the context of the surrounding environment. For example, if you are in an older community, you need to pay attention to the surrounding buildings as well as the climate. Work with the values of the natural world and surrounding community. That’s part of what I like about having architectural design students study in Rome is that they have access to an environment that is thousands of years old.

Candidates seek to upset incumbents

When and how did you start out in this field?

Conlin, other politicians urge opponents to agree to debate By Tyler. Kingkade iowastatedaily.com It’s only minutes after Democratic Senate candidate Roxanne Conlin walks into the Democratic Party office in Ankeny clutching a Diet Coke when she begins to remind her supporters her incumbent opponent, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Conlin hasn’t agreed to a debate. “Lincoln-Douglas-style debates, just the two of us,” Conlin said in Ankeny. “Just the two of us on a stage talking to each other and asking each other questions. He has had 30 years to get his talking points.” She said the only event they have Grassley both accepted is a debate on an Iowa Public Television show called Iowa Press. But it’s not enough for her. Conlin said it’s “not fair” for Grassley to avoid debates in the campaign, as she asked her supporters to write and call his office to press him on the issue. “With over 50 years in elected office, Iowans deserve to hear Sen. Grassley defend his Senate votes,” Conlin said days later. “He should stop being a coward and explain why he voted to bail out Wall Street, why he

Culver struggles to keep up in polls By Tyler. Kingkade iowastatedaily.com Iowa has the ninth lowest unemployment rate in the country. CNBC ranked the Hawkeye state as having the lowest cost to do business in the country, and the conservative magazine Forbes named the state’s capital and largest city, Des Moines, as the number one place in America for “Business and Careers.”

Despite all of the positive economic indicators, incumbent Gov. Chet Culver is far behind in the polls and fighting to stay in office, and it’s driving Democrats nuts. At the Story County Democrats barbecue event Saturday, a woman shouted at State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald, “Why can’t we get any of this into the media?” as he gave a speech to supporters.

CULVER.p3 >>

I was a dean for 16 years and I have always been a designer since I was a student. My partner and I started a business in Des Moines in 1967 known as Engelbrecht Griffin Architects. Our main office was originally just in Des Moines, but as our work headed to the East Coast then over to the West Coast, we added another office in Newburyport, Mass. I worked primarily out of the office for 10 years, and then I moved on to basically working on big projects all while teaching here. Our firm designed the Maucker Union at UNI and we also specialized in retirement housing and health care facilities in over 26 states.

What are your thoughts on receiving the Christian Petersen Design Award? I was very pleased particularly with this award because this is the primary prize the College of Design gives out, and I have been able to present it to over half of the winners in the past; so now that I am able to receive it — that makes it quite special. There have been only about 40

Divers ďŹ nd body of missing 25-year-old in Williamson Pond

Authorities investigate death of Drake University student

CHARITON — Officials have found the body of a man reported missing after the boat he was in capsized on a pond in southern Iowa. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says divers found the body of 25-year-old Jessie Tate of Melcher late Monday morning at Williamson Pond in Lucas County. Tate disappeared after the boat he was in capsized about 1 a.m. Monday. The DNR says he was ďŹ shing with three other people when one of them stood up in the small aluminum boat causing it to capsize. DNR spokesman Kevin Baskins says the other three boaters were able to swim to shore. No lifejackets were in the boat.

DES MOINES — Authorities are investigating the death of a Drake University student whose body was found off campus. Drake University President David Maxwell says the body of senior Ryan T. Henderson was found around 5:30 a.m. Sunday. Henderson was from Lenexa, Kan. School officials did not give further details on Henderson’s death Sunday. In an e-mail to faculty, staff and students, Maxwell calls the death a tragedy. He says there are no signs of foul play or any threat to students on campus.

MAQUOKETA — A 32-year-old man facing charges in connection with the death of his 4-year-old son has died. Authorities say Andrew Holdgrafer appears to have died of natural causes. Jackson County Sheriff’s deputy Steve Schroeder says Holdgrafer died Saturday afternoon. Holdgrafer had been working in the garage of his Maquoketa home. Holdgrafer had pleaded not guilty to child endangerment in the June 12 death of Collin Holdgrafer. A trial had been set for Sept. 13. Holdgrafer’s wife, 30-year-old Danielle Holdgrafer, has pleaded not guilty to ďŹ rst degree murder in the death. She allegedly held the child’s head under water while bathing him. She is being held at Jones County Jail. Prosecutors allege Andrew Holdgrafer allowed his wife to abuse the boy and failed to take action.

Culver faces a former four-term Iowa governor, Republican Terry Branstad, with whom Iowans are already familiar and who dealt with similar major events during his time in office: record ooding, a national recession and the issue of same-sex marriage. When the GOP gubernatorial ďŹ eld began to shape, many candidates like Bob Vander Plaats and Christian Fong made changing the legality of gay marriage a top priority. Branstad later joined the ďŹ eld but made the economy a larger issue to run on, despite the fact he signed the Defense of Marriage Act which was struck down by Iowa’s Supreme Court during his ďŹ nal term in office. A KCCI News poll, done by Research 2000, found 53 percent of Iowans supported same-sex marriage rights to 41 percent who opposed. But the Des Moines Register found it overwhelmingly remained a big issue for Republican voters. Branstad won the June primary with 50 percent of the vote, beating out Bob Vander Plaats who garnered 40 percent. Prior to the primary, polling suggested any of the GOP

The Conlin campaign is now extending an invitation to Grassley to debate on Sunday, Sept. 19 in Des Moines, said Conlin spokeswoman Paulee Lipsman. Flat-out saying ‘no’ Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who represents 33 Iowa counties in the 5th District, indicated earlier in the summer he was open to a debate. He even stated he liked to debate. That was before his Democratic challenger, Matt Campbell, showed up at King’s town hall meeting on Aug. 30 and asked him in person if he’d schedule a debate. “And my answer to that is judging by the fashion in which you have conducted your campaign, you have not earned it. Thank you, next question,� King said, looking directly at Campbell. Some audience members broke

candidates would be able to beat Culver. Culver’s administration suffered scandals in 2009 concerning a lack of oversight on ďŹ lm-making tax credits and worldwide recession leading to an unpopular across-theboard 10 percent cut, greatly impacting public schools. Culver’s campaign traded attack ads through the summer with Republican nominee Branstad. One of the ďŹ rst ads by Branstad, who was Iowa’s governor from 1982 to 1999, said Iowa’s unemployment rate was at a 25-year high. Culver responded in a June 4 news conference that 25 years ago, Branstad was in office. It didn’t take long before Branstad had an ad to respond, touting how he left office in 1999 with unemployment at a historic low, although it was just prior to the “dot-comâ€? bubble burst. Mari Culver said she believes people have “Branstad amnesiaâ€? and people near age 45 or younger don’t know what Iowa was like during Branstad’s term. “I think they bank on that, and they misrepresent their own record and they certainly misrepresent Gov.

I’m the Democratic nominee, I’ve won a competitive race.â€? But King ignored him. “Steve King’s ego is causing a theft of a public right,â€? Campbell said the next day. “Every election year Steve King says he likes debate and then never participates in one.â€? King has not debated a Congressional opponent since being elected in 2002. “This is a different era in politics; in 2010 everything goes,â€? said Steffen Schmidt, professor of political science. “When your opponent won’t debate you, you’ve got to use every measure you can.â€? Schmidt, who regularly appears as a political analyst on Iowa Public Radio, pointed out most incumbents do not want to debate challengers because it doesn’t beneďŹ t them

Editorial Board wrote in July: “Challenger Terry Branstad’s campaign condemned I-JOBS as creating ‘short-term jobs ... costing Iowans over $240,000 a piece.’ The unfair criticism completely discounts Iowa’s urgent need for ood repair. It ignores the value of permanent investment left behind. And it shortchanges the jobs impact of this program.â€? The top ďŹ ve counties to receive money under I-JOBS are Johnson, Linn, Polk, Story and Black Hawk, all counties who suffered great damage from ooding in 2008 and 2010. The Board added I-Jobs remains a program focused on “I-ood.â€? Democrats like State Sen. Rob Hogg (D-Cedar Rapids) outspokenly criticize Branstad for his response after the 1993 oods. The Iowa Supreme Court declared on Sept. 3 a lawsuit against the state could move forward concerning a highway bridge which obstructed a ood plain and allegedly led to multiple homes and businesses being ooded in 1999. The I-JOBS program is a $875 million program created in 2009 to invest in infrastructure for ood recovery and to alleviate the recession struggles. The money came through the issuance of bonds rather than raising taxes. Fitzgerald said Iowa’s bond rating — ability for a state to repay its debt —has a AAA rating by agencies like Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, although

Some state workers’ overtime pay tops $30,000 in Iowa DES MOINES — State government spent $29.5 million on overtime in the last ďŹ scal year, and one worker averaged 51 hours of overtime a week, a review by The Des Moines Register has found. The newspaper reported in a copyright story Sunday that overtime spending in the ďŹ scal year ending June 30 dropped about 7.5 percent below the previous year. Gov. Chet Culver said a drop in overtime at a time when the state has reduced staffing levels indicates state government is well managed. “The fact that we reduced the size of state government and made a substantial cut in the state budget — all the while reducing overtime — shows that Iowa is being managed very well,â€? Culver said. A majority of the top overtime recipients worked to care for disabled people in state institutions. The top overtime recipient was Chris Jensen, who works at Woodward Resources Center for people with mental disabilities. He averaged nearly 91 hours of work a week for a total of 2,673 hours of overtime. That brought his $42,000 salary to about $129,200. Jensen said he occasionally

politically. “Usually when candidates won’t debate, it puts pressure on them because the voters will start saying, ‘Well, why don’t you want to debate them?’� Schmidt said. “I have long said I will debate if my opponent develops an issues-based campaign,� King said in a statement. “Clearly he has not and his most recent ‘fraternity prank’ at Western Iowa Tech Community College is conclusive. “Any discussion in favor of a debate is therefore concluded. There will be no debate.� Schmidt said whether it was a proper move or not for Campbell to appear at King’s town hall, it was a good move because it garnered so much publicity.

Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) has largely avoided debating her GOP opponents and agreed to one with her

S&P placed I-JOBS bonds on its CreditWatch list Thursday. In August, State Auditor Dave Vaudt, Republican, released a report which stated Iowa’s debt to $3.2 billion, which Branstad’s campaign quickly seized upon. “Gov. Culver deliberately released a deceptive and misleading report in an attempt to hide Iowa’s true debt,� said Branstad 2010 campaign manager Jeff Boeyink. “Iowans are shackled with a debt load that is in reality 14 times greater than what Gov. Culver asserted it was.� Branstad’s campaign said the Business Tax Index 2010 ranked Iowa’s business tax climate at 45th of the 50 states, but in addition to other various economic ratings, four Iowa cities made CNN Money’s list of Top 20 Places to Start a Business. Still, Branstad said he would get rid of the Department of Economic Development and replace it with a public-private partnership. He said he’d also lower property taxes to below the Midwest average, and traveled the state on a “Ready to Create Jobs� tour. Democrats hope to turn things around “The stakes are high,� Mauro said Saturday.

In states where there is no incumbent in the race, like South Carolina and Vermont, the tactic of challenging opponents to debates is employed. Lt. Gov.

Mari Culver dismissed the notion there might be an enthusiasm gap this year among Democrats and insisted, as they launch new ads this week, support would return to her husband. Both Culver and Mauro said they highly doubt Iowans will vote as a referendum on national conditions and believe voters will look at things in the state. Culver, looking forward to the scheduled debates this month and in October, said she “cannot wait.� Culver said they would be a chance to “call Terry Branstad on his lies,� since she said Branstad often has a spokesman quoted on his behalf. “You know, Chet’s dad, John [a long-time U.S. Senator,

whose seat now belongs to Sen. Charles Grassley] used to say, ‘A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth is heard,’� Culver said. As Democrats in Story County discussed how to become more active to get the story of the good news under their governor’s time in office, Gov. Culver was given a chance to go live on CNBC Friday morning. But a glitch and technical problems at the IPTV studios where Culver was to be interviewed from forced the governor to speak by phone. Then CNBC had to cut to President Barack Obama giving a news conference on the economy. After all the trouble, Gov. Culver reportedly said to IPTV employees, “The irony is, we’ve been trying to get this good news story out.�

They can’t just shut down like a factory. They have to have people there.� Some say that amount of overtime was worrisome. Ross Eisenbrey, vice president of the Economic Policy Institute, a nonpartisan group in Washington, D.C., said such excessive overtime indicates poor management of the work force. “If somebody is working a full year of overtime, it seems to me the state, the economy and residents who are being treated by this person would be better off with another person hired,� Eisenbrey said. Some of the top overtime recipients worked at the Glenwood Resource Center, caring for about 300 people with profound mental disabilities and illnesses. Glenwood Superintendent Zvia McCormick has formed a group that is studying ways to reduce overtime. “There are no easy answers,� she said.

Wrap yourself in bacon By Justine Mattiussi AmesEats Flavors Writer Bacon is a glorious cured pork product mostly from the pork belly region of the pig. To prepare a magnificent tailgating treat, try wrapping your favorite variety of bacon around any food item listed below, or come up with your own recipe. Then, either grill, bake or assemble your creation and enjoy.

Refresh your tailgate By Devon O’Brien AmesEats Flavors Writer

Remember: Eat responsibly.

Burgers, brats, hamburgers and hot dogs — this typical tailgate food can get old after a couple of games. But you can still grill: pizza

G

rilled pizza is a delicious meal that will make everyone around you jealous, and it’s simple, too. Start with any pizza dough; you can buy it at the grocery store or make it yourself. Roll the dough out into individual sized servings; I suggest making the dough somewhat thin, it makes for quicker cooking and a crispier crust. Then choose your toppings. Bring along diced tomatoes, pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella, shredded cheeses, chopped onion, bell pepper, basil, pepperoni, sausage, anything you would put on a pizza. Bring all the ingredients along with you in resealable containers and let each person at your tailgate create their own pizza. Brush one side of the dough with olive oil and throw it on the grill at a medium-high

• • • • • • • • • • •

heat, once the dough is golden brush olive oil on the top. Flip the dough and quickly put on the toppings each individual has chosen. If your grill has a cover, put it on to help the toppings cook quickly but check on the pizza frequently. Once the other side of the dough is golden and your toppings are melted or cooked, take the pizza off the grill and enjoy! That’s not your only option. Papa Murphy’s has a new promotion: Instead of the traditional take-and-bake pizza, you can now order Papa Murphy’s to take and grill. All you need is the reusable grilling pan they offer, or a piece of aluminum foil. Pick up a Papa Murphy’s pizza on the way to the game, grill and serve! For complete directions on how to grill your Papa Murphy’s pizza, visit www.papamurphys.com.

Hot dogs, Italian sausage or bratwurst Any firm or hard cheese Cherry tomatoes filled with goat cheese Cantaloupe or honeydew Shrimp Chicken, pork or beef cuts Asparagus Green beans Mushrooms Water chestnuts Grilled jalapenos with cream cheese filling

Cyclone Jell-O Dazzle your friends and family at your next tailgating excursion By Gina Garrett AmesEats Flavors Writer Follow the directions for making Jell-O cubes, but make two batches: one yellow and one red. Then combine the two colors of cubes into a clear bowl and you are ready for kickoff! For even more amazing wiggly finger snacks, you can use footballshaped cookie cutters to make Jell-O footballs. I know what you are thinking, “Can I make alcoholbased red and yellow Jell-O treats?” Yes, you can! If you are over 21, the Jell-O website at www.brands. kraftfoods.com/jello/recipes has recipes specifically for this sort of thing. Just adapt the recipes you find there so that you have the colors or shapes you like.

Grillin’ S’mores What you need to bring to the grill:

• Box of frozen waffles • Variety of baking chips (chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, etc.) • Bag of marshmallows • Aluminum foil What you need to do: Place a waffle on aluminum foil piece large enough to wrap a waffle sand-

wich. Next, put whatever variety of chips you want on the waffle base — the more, the messier. Place about four marshmallows on the waffle and add another waffle on top. Then, wrap the waffle sandwich tightly in the aluminum foil. How to cook ’em up: Place your wrapped waffle s’more on medium-high heated grill and cook

for 5-7 minutes until the waffles are crisp and the filling is gooey. Servings: A box of waffles will make four s’mores Bonus: These can be assembled at home and brought wrapped to the grill.

Basic Jell-O cube recipe for one batch:

Adapted by Gina Garret from “A Man, A Can, A Tailgate Plan,” by David Joachim

• 3 packages (3 oz. each) Jell-O Gelatin (flavors that are red or yellow) • 4 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin • 1 quart (4 cups) boiling water • Mix dry Jell-O and unflavored gelatin in a large bowl; stir in boiling water until dissolved. Then, pour into 13x9 inch pan, and refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Cut as desired.

ALL AMERICAN | BBQ BASH LEFT: Jeff Naslund, leader of the Red Bandana BBQ team from Galva, slices beef brisket into cubes minutes before the deadline to enter meat to judges at the All American BBQ Bash on Saturday in Ames. After slicing the meat, members of the Red Bandana team sampled pieces from different ends of the cut to determine what part of the brisket they would give to judges. BELOW: Ken Hald, a barbecue judge from West Liberty, tastes a piece of beef brisket at the All American BBQ Bash hosted in Ames on Saturday. Hald has been judging barbecue competitions for two years.

More than just guacamole By Linda Berlakovich AmesEats Flavors Writer Avocados are amazing. They’re sweet and buttery with a very mellow but delicious flavor. They are also a great source of fiber and healthy polyunsaturated fats. They are fantastic in guacamole dip.

But what else can you use them for when you are tailgating before a Cyclone victory?

• Rather than making guacamole, take salsa and add diced avocado for a more interesting and colorful texture. • Avocado quesadillas are very easy to make on the grill.

• All you have to do is place cheese, sliced avocados and a little bit of lime juice between tortillas and grill on each side. • Place sliced avocado on hamburgers for a richer tasting sandwich. • They’re also great on veggie burger options.

• Make a veggie “sushi roll” by placing avocado slices, cream cheese and cucumber on a tortilla and rolling it up. • Or just add it into any salad for a unique variety of flavors! • Enjoy your snack. • Go Cyclones!

Editorial

Schmidt vs. Arment

Don’t forget history behind Labor Day To honor the spirit of Labor Day, take the opportunity to look beyond a Sunday night available for partying to consider the ways in which the American labor movement has played in establishing your livelihood. Also think about the role it must play in American society if we hope to reduce inequality and enable meaningful, enriching lives beyond mere sustenance for its more than 300 million. While Labor Day is more colloquially known for a prohibition on white shoes, a Monday off work and the autumnal partner to Memorial Day, its roots would urge a more serious tone be taken to the holiday. The first Labor Day was Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City by the Central Labor Union. Congress established Labor Day as a federal holiday under the direction of President Grover Cleveland in 1894. Its establishment took place immediately after the end of the Pullman strike by 12,000 federal troops, an action that resulted in the shooting death of two workers. Pullman, Ill., was a town founded by the president of the railroad company that employed the town’s residents. Pullman owned the banks, Pullman owned the houses and Pullman owned the factory. After workers received a pay cut, some were taking home only cents from a week’s paycheck. It was this strike that President Cleveland declared a federal crime and dispatched troops to break the lines. In an attempt at reconciliation, he gave the labor movement a national holiday — Labor Day. The current climate in the United States toward workers’ rights is only somewhat improved. An August 2010 publication entitled “The Global State of Worker’s Rights” lists the U.S. as having a mostly-free status, behind 41 countries including Chile, Belize, South Africa and most of Europe. It cites a growing willingness of corporations to violate labor laws to prevent unionization. Paying a fine is cheaper than paying your workers reasonable wages. Additionally, American workers lack assurance of paid vacation; health insurance, for a few more years; paid maternity leave — much less paternity leave — and for those on salary, you may continue laughing at the idea of a 40-hour work week. Yet, still as a nation, we allow the power of unions to wane. Perhaps it’s time for that to change. In 2006, Goldman Sachs stated, “The most important contributor to higher profit margins over the past five years has been a decline in labor’s share of national income.” As banks return to high profits while unemployment lingers, there’s little doubt this trend has continued through the recession. In an environment of high unemployment, it’s tempting to say that staying employed is the only right a worker should be concerned about right now, but recessions will come and go and the conditions of labor will remain. Many older college students will have witnessed ISU graduates forced to take jobs without health insurance, vacation, a wage sufficient to pay back college debt. Their struggle should be our struggle, as many of us will face their situation soon. We should work to make sure our children don’t face it as well. So welcome back from your three-day weekend. But don’t forget the reason for the holiday. If organized labor isn’t the answer, start thinking about what is. The idea that the person working through a holiday yesterday should get vacation time, health care and a sufficient wage shouldn’t be foreign. It’s the future those in the labor movement have been working on for centuries. Editor in Chief

Column battle: Religion in politics Steffen Schmidt: Obama’s religion does matter

C

ommentator Glenn Beck said one day after his massive rally “for God” in Washington that Barack Obama “ ... is a guy who understands the world through liberation theology, which is an oppressor-and-victim. People aren’t recognizing his version of Christianity.” Is this an appropriate questioning of the president of the United States, or should religion be a private matter? Given that the United States is the most religious of the liberal democracies in the world, religion matters a great deal in politics. The majority of Americans — 76 percent — identify themselves as Christians. Non-Christians make up 5 percent. About 15 percent have no religious affiliation. Every American president

and vice president was raised in a household with protestant Christian affiliation, aside from former President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Joe Biden who came from Catholic households. President Obama was raised in a family environment that was very diverse and included Islam, noreligion, Catholic and Muslim schools. In various interviews Obama has never answered questions about religion the way, say, a traditional Christian would. For most of American history, a Catholic had no chance of being elected president because of the fear that the pope and the Vatican would control him. Kennedy had to make a special and very public effort to educate the public that he did not take orders from Rome, and this action was very important

for his narrow victory over Richard Nixon in 1961. There has never been a Jewish president or vice president. When former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney ran in the Iowa caucuses and primaries for president in 2008, his candidacy was plagued by questions about his Mormon faith. He was never able to convince the largely Christian Republican voter base that Mormonism was “real” Christianity. Right or wrong religion is a huge part of American society, law, values and, yes, politics. Liberation theology, which is preached by Obama’s Chicago-based minister, Jeremiah Wright, is a very edgy form of Christianity. In Latin America, Catholic liberation clergy such as the

Rev. Camilo Torres actually took up arms against the government and the upper class and fought guerrilla warfare to overthrow the economic system. It is legitimate to ask if Obama subscribes to this “revolutionary” vision of faith, something the president has dismissed as nonsense? In American politics, religion is not nonsense, and Obama should more clearly and definitively explain what his religious beliefs are and how these translate into his vision of politics and public policy. That’s especially important now that his faith has become an issue and almost 20 percent of Americans believe he is a Muslim. In America, public opinion is politics, no matter how poorly informed.

Jason Arment: Obama’s religion does not matter

I

f you ever get the chance to happen upon a street magician doing his thing, stop to watch for a bit. There’s a lot to be learned from their act. I like the card tricks, and of course the classic three upside-down cups with one covering something — the way they whirl the cups around and stare you in the face. I figured out shortly after my first encounter with a street magician that it didn’t matter what was in the cup, it didn’t even matter if you watched the cup really hard. It slowly dawned on me that focusing on any one thing would make you lose and that meant forfeiting money you put down to play. Then I realized something else; the magician wasn’t working alone. When I would win or help someone else to win, there was always someone who would ask me to leave or give me a hard time. As I focused on the game less, I started noticing more that there was always someone around to provide a needed distraction if the chips were down and the magician was struggling. They were plants — people that were planted there to help the magician. Glenn Beck and others put forward that Barack Obama is a Muslim, and as soon as the American public loses interest in that, the cup will slam back down. Another will whirl forward to reveal the next thing, as the last cup seamlessly moves back. All the while, Beck will stare you in the face and smile. As soon as you start to figure the game out, something or someone will

distract you — the plants rarely miss their cues. When something is so arbitrarily exchanged, it doesn’t matter. “How can you say that religion doesn’t matter when it comes to the president?” I know, it’s crazy to think like that isn’t it? Or is it? There is a fallacy referred to as the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy — “after this, therefore because of this” — think faulty cause-and-effect arguments. This fallacy makes people believe that a person of their same religion will be better suited to lead them and also will tell you that there is a cause and effect between a president’s religious beliefs and public opinion. I would put forward that most Christians don’t understand their own religion. To most people, religion is just a dogma passed down to them from their parents. If they don’t understand their own religion, how can they be expected to understand a religion like Islam? If they don’t and are rejecting something they don’t understand, aren’t they just being xenophobic? It doesn’t matter if they understand, does it? Only what they think. Why do they think what they think? History shows that few bend their will to real critical thinking in the way that so few philosophers have guided so many. People think what they think because other people tell them what to think. If religion really mattered to people, it wouldn’t have just started mattering to the extent that people say it does now —

unless, as I assert, outside influences are using sleight of hand to make them think it matters. Let’s say it does matter, fundamentally, and all of the people who think Obama is a Muslim now thought he was a Muslim during the election. Sure, there were those that did, and made a fuss, but I can’t seem to remember hearing a general outcry about it. It was almost like it didn’t matter, and that we were trying to elect a man based on his own merits. That’s why Obama won the election by a landslide 365 to 173 electoral votes. In recent times the issue of our presidents’ religion has come to the forefront; the cup spins deftly out, rises to show something to do with our president’s religion underneath. I’m not sure what will be next when the cup is snapped back to the magician and another is put forward, but when that happens, the new thing will “really matter.” I do know that when trying to establish a cause-and-effect relationship, the cause must be something concrete — it can’t be something that can be changed at the drop of a hat. When it can be, it’s not cause and effect, it’s a magic trick. You’re being hoodwinked. This time in our nation’s history, when our first black president was flagrantly ad hominem, will be looked back on with more than just a tinge of shame — and is why calling someone a Muslim was used as an ad hominem will be considered as well.

Fad diets

Keep menu simple, lose weight logically By Sean.Flack iowastatedaily.com I recently read a book called “Eat This, Not That” that outlined foods and drinks that were healthy and those that were not. It stunned me to see how many so-called healthy foods were actually horrible for your health. Yet people buy into this scam. It’s a scary thought. I could give you examples upon examples, but really it’s best to check it out for yourself at menshealth.com. Some people also have the worst logic about eating healthy. I know salad has this immaculate reputation as being something healthy, but when you drown it with ranch, croutons and bacon bits, you might as well be eating chicken strips. And let’s not kid ourselves, ordering a Diet Pepsi with your double bacon cheeseburger meal is not doing you any favors. Despite the names, Vitamin Water and AntiOxidant Snapple water are not good drinks to be guzzling down whenever you have a chance. Organic isn’t always good. And Applebee’s new healthy menu is anything but. You owe it to yourself to look into this trick that food companies are pulling on the general public. I know it’s tough to control, but the answer to weightloss is simple: Cut back your food intake, and increase your exercise. I used to weigh 164 pounds, but now I’m 148. This transformation didn’t happen because of Jillian’s 30-Day Shred or some all-cranberry juice diet. I simply started going to the gym, cut back on my snacking, cut back on fast food and started drinking water for every meal. And it’s not like I don’t indulge. When I go out to the bars, I’ll have a beer. If I’m out with friends and we go to Coldstone, I’ll get ice cream. You can indulge within reason. I feel this method is easiest. You’re not even putting yourself through torture or anything. But people just seem drawn to the new fad, anything that promises instant results. Losing weight is not an instant thing, though. It requires dedication and willpower. If you don’t have that, you’ll fall prey temptations. And I urge everyone who reads this to do a little research on your eating habits.

Children

Reflections on fatherhood By Curtis.Powers iowastatedaily.com

Columnist tells of life changes, introduces son At 1 p.m. on Aug. 28, my life changed forever. My wife gave birth to our first baby, a son named Elijah Joel. For those wondering, he wasn’t named for anyone. My wife and I just happened to like these two Hebrew prophets and thought they made for good names. To be honest, the experience as a whole was a little weird. Surreal actually may be the better term. I had read stories, watched movies and listened to other people, mostly dads, recount their birth experiences. Almost universally it seemed, it was this great transformative and emotional experience for them. When their child was born, there was this instantaneous, overwhelming flood of love for the child. They would do anything for him. Throw themselves in front of a bus, etc. As for me, not so much. I watched as my wife writhed in pain for an hour and a half, pushing him out of her. When he finally did arrive, I thought, “Oh wow, he’s blue.” I was glad my wife was done with pushing and that the baby was safely out, but I had no overwhelming sensation. That probably shouldn’t surprise me too much. I’m not a really emotional person. After the child popped out, the nurses then prompted me to get my camera and shoot some pictures, which I did — after some oxygen got in his blood and his skin turned to a more normal color. He got weighed and measured. I called and picture messaged family and friends about him. People came and visited us in the hospital, which is good, because being in a hospital can be pretty boring. Overall, it was an interesting experience. It’s been even more interesting now that we’re home. Obviously, he does standard baby things like eat, sleep and poop. However, he does them in curious ways. For instance, sometimes when he’s hungry and I’m holding him, he tries to nurse at my nipple through my shirt. The first time he did this, my wife and I really had to stifle our hearty laughter for fear

that I might drop him. When he sleeps, he likes to snore just like his daddy. Except his snores are actually cute, since he’s a baby. As for pooping, you can generally tell when it happens because it is pretty explosive.

It always takes people by surprise when it happens, too, which is pretty funny. They’re like, “Did he just ...?” Yes. Yes, he did. Having a baby, much like getting married, is tough and has its ups and downs, but I’ve found that it’s definitely worth it.

By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com ISU coaches, players and fans spent the early part of their weekend taking in a full serving of college volleyball. The Cyclones hosted the Iowa State Challenge at their temporary residence, the Ames High gymnasium. Florida International, South Dakota State and North Dakota State joined the host Cyclones for a busy weekend that included four matches for No. 11 Iowa State within a 32-hour span. “It’s a grind for sure,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “You just watch so much volleyball in one week to prepare for four teams, its very difficult.” Iowa State kicked off the week-

Kristen Hahn is used to playing in high school gymnasiums, but she never expected to be playing in one during her freshman year on the ISU volleyball team. “At first I was really nervous. You know, [playing collegiate volleyball is] a big deal,” Hahn said. “But being here at Ames High School, it’s kind of just, you know, it’s my freshman year, and I’m used to playing in a small gym like this.” The former standout at Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School has found herself a spot in the playing rotation, substituting for junior outside hitter Carly Jenson. Jenson, who was filling in for junior Rachel Hockaday after Hockaday sustained a season-ending ACL injury, was forced to tape her right wrist from all the pressure she had exposed it to after being given the starting nod. “I just keep tweaking [my wrist] over and over with blocking

Team treats Iowa game like any other By Jeremiah.Davis iowastatedaily.com

Arnaud shows early improvement Senior leads Iowa State to first win By Jake.Lovett iowastatedaily.com In Iowa State’s 27-10 win over Northern Illinois on Thursday night, the ISU offense had 403 total yards. A big reason — maybe even the biggest — the offense was so successful was the play of senior quarterback Austen Arnaud. At coach Paul Rhoads’ weekly news conference Monday, he addressed the quarterback’s improved play in the opener. “He did a great job of executing and running the offense,

ow that fans and coaches have had the weekend to digest Thursday’s season-opening win against Northern Illinois, it’s time for the biggest rivalry in the state to take the stage. Unless you live under a rock, you already know Saturday is the annual Iowa State-Iowa game. And this year, maybe unlike many others, we’re coming in with an abundance of storylines. There’s Iowa State’s impressive, and some would say surprising, performance against Northern Illinois. There’s Iowa’s top 10 ranking. There’s David Sims returning from suspension to a secondary that played well Thursday. There’s Iowa’s daunting defense. Any one could be — and has been in many places — a story of its own. But if you ask the ISU coaches and players, they’ll downplay the game’s significance completely. “[The game] equates to one of 12 games,” said coach Paul Rhoads. “Win or lose, it’s going into one of those columns like the Northern Illinois game did,” he said. Austen Arnaud agreed, saying the team has to treat this game like any other. Alexander Robinson echoed his coach as well. “If you get caught up in the hype and things, that’s where things could potentially go wrong,” Robinson said. “And when you get out there, it’s just another football game.” That’s a great attitude to have. If you’re a fan of ISU football, then you definitely want to hear the coach and his players are keeping a level head, and not turning one game into their entire season. But can we really believe them entirely? Should we really think they only see their biggest rival as “just another football game”?

Sims returns for Cyclones Senior strong safety David Sims re-enters line-up, ready to make impact on field against Hawkeyes By David.Merrill iowastatedaily.com

now the start of his senior — season. Last season, he led the team with five interceptions. “I know Sims and his character,” said senior defensive end Rashawn Parker. “He’s a good guy for us and works hard. He’s going to be ready to play, and he’ll make big plays for us, and he’ll do big things for us out there on the field,” Parker said. Sandvig is also looking forward to having that extra help returning to the secondary. “David’s a tremendous football player,” Sandvig said. “He’s very skilled and a guy you want to have on your side. He makes plays, he’s big, he’s strong, he’s fast. He’s everything you want in a football player, and it’s going to be a good asset to have back playing

All senior strong safety David Sims could do was watch. He watched as his backup Zac Sandvig recorded his first career interception, one of three in the game for the Cyclones’ defense. He watched as the defense held Northern Illinois running back Chad Spann to 82 yards rushing, and he watched the Cyclones post a 27-10 victory. As the Cyclones prepare for the annual rivalry game in Iowa City, Sims will be ready to make an impact on the field. The safety was forced to sit out the season opener after being charged with unauthorized use of a credit card. He has been one of the defensive leaders of the team throughout his junior — and

Iowa State continues undefeated season Freshman Caitlin Graboski steps up in 40th minute

Game ends in 0-0 draw in double overtime thriller

By Blake.Schultz iowastatedaily.com

As each game passes, the ISU freshmen soccer players add more and more to a team that gets better each time out. Friday night, freshman Caitlin Graboski was the one who stepped up. In the 40th minute in the ďŹ rst half, Graboski was fouled while in the Creighton box, giving her an opportunity at a penalty kick. She buried the shot and gave the Cyclones a 1-0 lead. The goal wound up being the game winner. The Cyclone defense was stellar once again, only allowing Creighton six shots on goal in the ďŹ rst half. Freshman keeper Maddie Jobe picked up right where she left off after her ďŹ rst set of games last weekend and saved all seven shots that came her way. With the win, Jobe remains undefeated on the season, and brought the Cyclones to 4-0-1.

It took 110 minutes from start to ďŹ nish, but neither Iowa State nor North Dakota could ďŹ nd the net by the time the game was over, ending in a 0-0 draw. Both teams struggled to ďŹ nd scoring opportunities throughout the match. By the end of regulation, Iowa State only had two shots on goal, while North Dakota State had three. Early in the ďŹ rst overtime, the Bison managed to ďŹ re a couple shots on ISU freshman Maddie Jobe, but she turned both away. With time running out in the ďŹ rst overtime, North Dakota State had one ďŹ nal chance to

>>DAVIS.p8 I hope as a football fan in general, that it isn’t just another game. In a game like this, I hope linemen and linebackers have a little extra ďŹ re when they line up against their biggest rival. And I have to believe that the players walk with a little extra strut in their step on Monday going to class after a win at Iowa — one they probably wouldn’t have after a win against Kansas State or Colorado. It’s human nature to play a little harder in that situation.

>>HAHN.p8 and stuff,â€? Jenson said. “It’s not a big deal. Now that I taped it once, I feel like I need to keep taping it.â€? Hahn was given the nod to rotate with Jenson during the Cyclones’ three-set victory over UW-Milwaukee on Friday afternoon after coach Christy Johnson-Lynch noticed the pressure the opponents were putting on Jenson. “I think they were picking on Carly a little bit, servicewise,â€? Johnson-Lynch said. “It’s very tiring for an outside [hitter] to have to pass and hit the whole match. And if someone is working you hard, that can be kind of a tiring thing.â€? Having Hahn available for giving Jenson a break has proved to be a successful strategy, as Hahn has been providing a defensive presence that has excited Johnson-Lynch. “Kristen is a great defensive player, and I like her energy,â€? Johnson-Lynch said. “She makes plays when she’s in there. She brings the ball up, and she makes a difference when she’s in there.â€? Hahn ďŹ nds JohnsonLynch’s conďŹ dence in her reassuring, motivating her to go all out in each set she sees action. “Christy has conďŹ dence in me, so that gives me conďŹ dence,â€? Hahn said. Hahn likely will continue to see action as she has recently, but that also means she’ll be experiencing the challenges Jenson faces. “It’s just the mindset,â€? Jenson said. “I need to go in knowing that I am going to keep getting served to, and I just need to respond to that better and just be a better passer, too.â€? In ďŹ ve matches, Hahn has recorded 10 digs and one assist for the cardinal and gold. “Whenever they need me, I’m always ready,â€? Hahn said, who has seen action in eight sets of the team’s last ďŹ ve matches. “I mean it’s kind of my job whenever they need someone to come in and relieve a player; I hope I’d be the ďŹ rst one they pick to go in and do that,â€? she said. In high school, Hahn led the Kennedy Cougars with 628 digs with 6.10 digs per game her senior year. Her junior year, she recorded the second-most digs in the state with 733 and 7.26 digs per game. Even though Hahn may appear comfortable with the pace of collegiate volleyball, there have been a few things that have made the transition from high school to college an adjustment. “The tempo and the perfection that they expect from you,â€? Hahn said. “Getting a good pass or making a good play and how much they praise you at the end and tell you how good you did, that’s really exciting. It makes me feel really good,â€? she said.

But in the grand scheme of things, they are exactly right. I know there are a group of ISU fans who would rather go 1-11 and beat Iowa than win the Big 12. Sure, the Iowa game means a lot — at the time. When you talk about last year’s team and how successful they were, do you remember the Iowa game? I’d venture to say the majority of people would say no — and yes, that’s probably because of the game’s lopsided outcome, but I digress. The task Saturday is obviously far from an

Sophomore middle blocker Jamie Straube led Iowa State to a sweep (2515, 25-14, 25-18) of the Panthers with a career-high 15 kills while hitting at a .545 clip. As a team, Iowa State hit .400, thanks in large part to sophomore setter Alison Landwehr’s match-high 38 assists. Iowa State then began play in the Iowa State Challenge on Friday evening against the North Dakota State Bison. Senior and returnHenson ing All-American outside hitter Victoria Henson became the ďŹ rst Cyclone this season to eclipse the 20-kill mark with 22 as her efforts boosted the Cyclones to a four-set (25-11, 21-25, 25-14, 25-17) victory over the Bison. “[Henson] absolutely took over the match at the end and that’s really exciting to see,â€? Johnson-Lynch said. “I think all great teams need that type of player who can just take over a match, and she rose to the occasion tonight. We really needed her and she came through big time.â€? With many teams avoiding her early on this season, Iowa State’s other returning All-American, senior libero Ashley Mass, bolstered the Cyclones’ defensive efforts with a season-high 24 digs.

easy one for the Cyclones. Arnaud knows better than anyone what mistakes against Iowa can mean. He even went as far as taking the blame for the loss. His teammates will refute that in a hurry, which shows how much they stand behind their quarterback. That’s crucial in a big game like this, especially if he makes a mistake early and they have to rebound from it. But if they play the way they did in the ďŹ rst half against Northern Illinois, the task won’t be

weekend, Johnson-Lynch’s squad began Saturday against South Dakota State. For the second time this season, Iowa State had four players with doubledigit kills, led by Henson — who also led the team in digs with 14 — and junior Carly Jenson with 13 apiece en route to a victory (25-17, 26-24, 25-22) over the Jackrabbits. Although her squad came out victorious, Johnson-Lynch was not entirely pleased with her team’s performance against SDSU. “I thought we were a little sloppy,â€? Johnson-Lynch said. “I thought we got outworked by the other side, so I wasn’t real pleased with the overall intensity and effort out of it. We hit decently, we served decently, but our ball handling wasn’t up to par. I just don’t think the intensity was there on our side of the match.â€? In the ďŹ nal match of the weekend against Florida International, JohnsonLynch nearly cleared the bench as 13 of the 14 active Cyclones saw signiďŹ cant playing time in Iowa State’s 3-0 (25-12, 25-14, 25-20) victory over the Panthers. “We really wanted to play some other people this weekend, not just for playing time but to actually see if this [player] is a potential sub down the road,â€? JohnsonLynch said. “Whether another player is struggling, whether we want to make some blocking switches, whatever it is we wanted to get some other people in there and see if we could be a little more creative,â€? she said. The only two Cyclones to not see the court were junior outside hitter Rachel Hockaday, who is out for the season with a knee injury, and freshman outside hitter Hannah Willms, who might be redshirted for her freshman season. “We’re looking at [redshirting Willms],â€? Johnson-Lynch said. “With Hockaday going out it makes it a little more difficult, but we’re certainly looking at it and discussing it.â€? As for the Cyclones on the court, the Henson-Jenson duo both reached double-digit kills in that match as well, leading the Cyclones with 11 apiece. Henson hit for a .625 clip, leading a Cyclone offensive effort that hit .361 compared to a mere .105 for FIU. Mass and Landwehr paced the Cyclone defense with 11 and 10 digs while Landwehr earned her ďŹ rst doubledouble of the season with 32 assists to go along with her dig total.

as hard. Rhoads knows to complete that task there has to be focus. “The game has got to be played with raw emotion and enthusiasm,� Rhoads said. “But it’s got to be played with what I like to refer to as a ‘one-play-at-a-time focus.’ You can be excited ... but then you’ve got to roll right back to the next snap and you’ve got to understand what it is you’re supposed to execute,� he said. And now is as good of a time as any to take that focus and enthusiasm to Iowa City and dash the Hawkeyes’ national title hopes.

It’s a grind, for sure. You just watch so much volleyball in one week to prepare for four teams, it’s very difďŹ cult.â€? — ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch

“I think everyone played awesome, we didn’t miss a beat,â€? said junior right side hitter Kelsey Petersen. “Everyone played, starter or non-starter, everyone played the same, so that says a lot about our team when anyone can come off the bench and still get a lot of kills.â€? In addition to Henson and Jenson, Petersen has been a key contributor in the early going this season. The junior from Kearney, Neb., is fourth on the team in kills with 47 and hit above .600 twice this weekend. “I think I’m just jumping higher than I did last season because this summer I worked out all summer, I’m jumping higher and hitting harder,â€? Petersen said. And her play isn’t going unnoticed by Johnson-Lynch. “She’s just an exceptional athlete,â€? Johnson-Lynch said. “On that one-foot takeoff, she is hitting that ball very, very high. I’m just thrilled that she’s playing at whole other level this year.â€? Another Nebraska native making her mark on the court early on has been freshman middle blocker Tenisha Matlock. Although she came into the program as a middle blocker, in lieu of the Hockaday injury, Matlock has spent her playing time on the outside and right side. “She’s kind of our ďŹ rst-off-the-bench type player, whether outside or right side,â€? Johnson-Lynch said. “We feel like she’s just so physical, she plays so high above the net, and while it might not always be technically perfect she’s just so physical, she can do some really spectacular things out there.â€? The 6-foot-2-inch freshman from North Platte, Neb., ended the Cyclones last victory of the weekend with the ďŹ nal two kills in Iowa State’s victory over Florida International. “I had the biggest butteries in my stomach but it was so much fun,â€? Matlock said. “I was just stoked to go in.â€? Iowa State (5-1) will begin its rivalry week by hosting No. 18 Northern Iowa at Ames High on Wednesday night. The Panthers (5-1) are coming off a ďŹ ve-set upset victory at No. 12 Minnesota on Saturday. “Despite graduating some good players, they’re still a great team, so it’s going to be a very, very tough match on Wednesday,â€? Johnson-Lynch said. In their ďŹ nal non-conference match of the season, the Cyclones will travel to Iowa City to face a 5-1 Iowa Hawkeye squad on Friday. Both the Northern Iowa and Iowa match times are set for 7 p.m.

Critic praises Craigslist Online classified website continues to for fight adult services section (CNN) — Online classified service Craigslist’s decision to censor its adult services section is a “good step but a continuing battle has to be fought,” a leader in the fight against prostitution ads told CNN on Sunday. “I’m very pleased by this very solid and significant apparent step in the right direction,” said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who spearheaded a recent letter from 17 attorneys general urging Craigslist to discontinue its adult services section. “I say apparent because we have received no definite or definitive word from Craigslist that the shutdown is permanent or complete,” Blumenthal told CNN’s Tom Foreman. Blumenthal said he wants to broaden his fight against online prostitution ads but that “right now our focus is really on Craigslist.” “We’re taking it one step at a time,” he said. “We want to verify and confirm that Craigslist is in fact shutting down [its adult services section].” The embattled website has been under fire for allegations that it promotes prostitution. “These prostitution ads enable human trafficking and assaults on women,” Blumenthal said Saturday. “They are flagrant and rampant. Craigslist has lacked the wherewithal or will to effectively screen them out.” The section that usually reads “adult services” on Craigslist was replaced Saturday by the word “censored.” It was not clear whether Craigslist removed the adult services and replaced them with the “censored” section, which had a link that was not active. But for users who accessed the account outside the United States, the adult services link was still active. Craigslist representatives told CNN on Saturday that they will release a statement at a later time. “If it remains shut down it will be a model for other sites, we hope, because Craigslist is by far the biggest,” Blumenthal, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut as a Democrat, said Sunday.

Commander criticizes plan to burn Quran (CNN) — The U.S. commander in Afghanistan on Monday criticized a Florida church’s plan to burn copies of the Quran on September 11, warning the demonstration “could cause significant problems” for American troops overseas. “It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort in Afghanistan,” Gen. David Petraeus said in a statement issued Monday.

He said that he would try to change federal laws to make it easier to prosecute sites like Craigslist. “Craigslist says it cannot be held legally responsible for anything on its site,” he said. “My belief is strongly ... that we need to change that.” In the Aug. 24 letter to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster and founder Craig Newmark, the attorneys general wrote: “The increasingly sharp public criticism of Craigslist’s Adult Services section reflects a growing recognition that ads for prostitution — including ads trafficking children — are rampant on it.” Blumenthal told CNN on Sunday that attorneys general from three more states have joined his campaign against Craigslist’s adult services ads. Blumenthal didn’t say which attorneys general joined the initial list of 17. A Craigslist spokeswoman said at the time that the site agreed with at least some of the letter. “We strongly support the attorneys general desire to end trafficking in children and women, through the internet or by any other means,” said Susan MacTavish Best, who handles press inquiries for Craigslist.

“We hope to work closely with them, as we are with experts at nonprofits and in law enforcement, to prevent misuse of our site in facilitation of trafficking, and to combat such crimes wherever they appear, online or offline.” In their letter, the attorneys general highlighted an open letter, which appeared as a Washington Post ad, in which two girls said they were sold for sex on Craigslist. When the ad came out, Buckmaster wrote a blog post in response that said, “Craigslist is anxious to know that the perpetrators in these girls’ cases are behind bars.” The letter also highlighted a report in May by CNN’s Amber Lyon, who posted a fake ad for a girl’s services in the adult section. She received 15 calls soliciting sex in three hours. In a later blog post, Buckmaster said Craigslist implemented manual screening of adult services ads in May 2009. “Since that time, before being posted each individual ad is reviewed by an attorney,” the post said. CNN’s Deborah Doft and Nicky Robertson contributed to this report.

(CNN) — Babies and children under the age of 5 getting less than 10 hours of sleep at night are more likely to be overweight or obese five years later, a new study suggests.

unaware that the person they were communicating with was the chief law enforcement officer in the area. Dutton said he handed the case over to a narcotics officer who arranged to meet the two teens later that day. After the officer showed his badge to the teens, one of the boys “got white and his knees started wobbling,” Dutton said. Although the teens were on record with their purchase attempt, the sheriff says they won’t face charges. The parents of both of teens “took immediate action” which played a big part in the decision not to charge the two, Dutton said without offering specifics of the parental punishment.

data taken from a nationwide survey in 1997 and 2002. Bell found that babies and children up to age 4 who didn’t sleep enough at night were “80 percent more likely to be obese [five years later] compared to other[s] who had long sleep.” However, she did not see the same link to obesity when older children [between the ages of 5 and 13] burned the midnight oil. Bell believes this is the first large, nationally representative study to suggest lack of sleep contributes to obesity in children, something that’s long been believed for adults. She says this research needs to be corroborated by other studies.

burning copies of the Muslim holy book. The event has drawn criticism from Muslims in the US and overseas, with thousands of Indonesians gathering outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Sunday to protest the planned Quran burning. “The burning is not only an insult to the holy Quran, but an insult to Islam and Muslims around the world,” said Muhammad Ismail, a spokesman for the hard-line Indonesian Muslim group Hizb ut-Tahrir.

winners for this award so far, and it rewards people who have supported the College of Design whether it’s ďŹ nancially or for work that the recipient has done advancing design here at the college.

What is the hardest or most frustrating part of your job, whether it is as an architect or teacher, etc.? What makes architecture so frustrating is attempting to assimilate so many ideas into one ďŹ nal product. You must take into mind the desires of the owner, the ďŹ nancial adviser, as well as so many other people. You are the middleman, the common thread. Your challenge is to take into mind all these ideas, voices and agendas that are handed to you and balance them. Your job is to be a ďŹ lter. You must listen carefully to what these people want. The owner may want one thing, but the ďŹ nancial consultant will tell you that that is not in the budget. Therefore you have to listen carefully to what everyone wants, but at the same time add your own value to the product. The hard part is putting together what everyone wants without losing the value of your own contribution.

What advice do you have for students going into the field of architecture? Be calm and listen before judgment and decisions. Your job is to be a good and honest broker of the desires of everyone involved. Also, sometimes people do not know what they want in the product. You must be a good listener not only in what they tell you but what they are not telling you. Figure out what type of person they are and what their “wish list� includes. It is difficult getting students to understand the importance and how much of a challenge this can be while only learning in the classroom. Being a truly good architect is something you can only learn through hands-on experience.

Engelbrecht’s history After joining the faculty at Iowa State in 1969, Engelbrecht has worked to help the College of Design achieve national distinction for excellence, as can be seen in the national rankings of its degree programs. His most notable projects include the Maucker Union at the University of Northern Iowa. This earned national honors back when it was built in 1968, and in 2000, it was named one of Iowa’s top 50 buildings of the 20th century by the American Institute of Architects. In 1991, he started the Rome Program, and since then he has helped it develop into a fully licensed branch of Iowa State. Through this program, more than 1,600 students majoring in architectural, studio and graphic design have been able to spend a spring semester in Italy studying design. Engelbrecht’s accomplishments include earning numerous awards from the AIA. These include the AIA Iowa Chapter’s ďŹ rst annual education award and the AIA Medal of Honor for distinguished service to the profession. He also won the ISU Order of the Knoll FacultyStaff Award in 2009. Most recently he became the 2010 recipient of the Christian Petersen Design Award, presented by the college and given annually to alumni, staff and friends of the university for distinguished work that advances the design and art professions.

>>ROTC.p1 ROTC soldiers attended the Leadership Development and Assessment Course in Fort Lewis, Wash. During the course, soldiers were evaluated on their leadership development and GPA. Of the 4,700 soldiers in attendance, Bauman was ranked 67th for his displayed leadership skills and academic accomplishments. Jay Soupene, professor and chairman of military science and tactics, said Bauman had the highest ranking out of the other soldiers from Iowa State’s ROTC program. “It’s no question he was the most talented and outgoing student last year,â€? Soupene said. Balancing service and school The training Bauman received and the experiences he went through overseas helped him excel in his classes as an animal science student. “That ďŹ rst week of classes, if I hadn’t been deployed, I wouldn’t have made it,â€? Bauman said. “I was struggling.â€? After a year overseas, Bauman came back with a better sense of what he needed to do to be successful in school. “When I came back, I had really matured and had a focus on classes,â€? Bauman said. Bauman’s hard work and determination proved successful; he achieved a 4.0 GPA his ďŹ rst semester back after deployment. “He’s more mature than the average student, just because he’s experienced so much,â€?

Punishments stay severe By Mitra Mobasherat CNN Wire Service Contradictory reports swirled around the case of an Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned to death for adultery, with one Iranian lawyer saying Monday she had been whipped 99 times for another alleged offense, but another casting doubt on it. A woman who was in prison with Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani told lawyer Javid Houtan Kian that his client had been lashed over a newspaper photograph which, Iranian authorities thought, showed her without a headscarf. Iranian law requires all women to cover their hair, regardless of their religion. The Times of London ran the photo on its front page on August 28, identifying a woman in it as Ashtiani. It later apologized, saying it was not her. On Monday, the newspaper published an editorial calling the lashing an “outrage.â€? “Ms Ashtiani has been imprisoned in Tabriz for ďŹ ve years,â€? The Times wrote. “The prison authorities know exactly what she looks like and therefore must have

known that the photograph printed in The Times on August 28 was not of her,� The Times wrote. The newspaper also accused Iranian authorities of punishing her “to make her suffer for an international campaign to save her that that exposed so much iniquity.�

Kian was not able to speak to Ashtiani, and neither the courts nor the prison would conďŹ rm the whipping, but he believes the other woman, he told CNN Monday. “I know what she is saying is correct. If she is making this up, then how did she know that the reason for the ogging was over

a photo released in a foreign newspaper?� he asked. Ashtiani asked the woman, who was released from prison, to tell her son she had been whipped, said Kian, who spoke to CNN by phone from Iran on Monday. In July, Iran’s judiciary said the case was under review.

World briefs Soldiers ďŹ re on family’s car in Mexico, killing father and his 15-year-old son

Van der Sloot admits to extortion

MONTERREY, Mexico — Soldiers opened ďŹ re on a family’s car at a military checkpoint in northern Mexico, killing a 15-year-old boy and his father, authorities and relatives said Monday. It is at least the second time this year that a family has been caught up in a shooting involving Mexico’s military, which has come under intense criticism for human rights abuses as soldiers ďŹ ght brutal drug cartels. Javier Trevino, Nuevo Leon state lieutenant governor, said soldiers apparently shot at the car when the driver failed to stop at the checkpoint Sunday on the highway connecting the northeastern city of Monterrey to Laredo, Texas. But the boy’s mother and uncle said the family had just passed a military convoy when the soldiers opened ďŹ re.

Joran van der Sloot admitted in an interview with a Dutch newspaper that he extorted money from the family of Natalee Holloway, but his attorney in a Peruvian murder case suggested Monday that his client’s comments may have been mistranslated. Attorney Maximo Alteza said he is not involved in the case of Holloway, the Alabama teenager who disappeared in Aruba after going out on the town with van der Sloot, and was reluctant to comment on van der Sloot’s interview with The Telegraph. “Maybe there were some mistakes in the translation,â€? he said. Alteza said van der Sloot was not paid for the interview. “I wanted to get back at Natalee’s family,â€? van der Sloot said. “Her parents have been making my life tough for ďŹ ve years.â€? Van der Sloot faces a count of wire fraud and a count of extortion in the United States for allegedly trying to extort more than $250,000 from Holloway’s family in return for her location.

Soupene said. On top of his responsibilities in the classroom and the ROTC, Bauman was also involved in several clubs and taught some classes in the animal science program. “I took every chance I could to get involved in the animal science program,â€? Bauman said. Bauman graduated last May with a 3.9 GPA and was accepted into ISU’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Plans for the future Bauman will start vet school next fall, after he has completed Officer Basic School with the 949th Vet Med Company. He plans to work as a veterinarian, both for the military and as a civilian. “It’s a new adventure and a new opportunity and I look to the chance to do that,â€? Bauman said. Bauman said he enjoys being in the Army because it gives him a chance to serve both the country and the community. “Any time an individual has the opportunity to give back to the community, they should do that,â€? Bauman said. Bauman encourages other young men and women to enlist in the Army or other branches of the military. Educational beneďŹ ts and personal development are two areas Bauman cites as advantages of enlisting in the service. “There is not another club at Iowa State that can have as big of an impact as this one does,â€? Bauman said of the ROTC program.
